Talk:Multi-Player Tactics
proposed article(s)
This is a rough draft containing info we should put into the main article after someone reads through this stuff spell checks it, adds more detail and fixes my grammar, or until i actually get around to it.
Links need to be put down where appropriate as well.
This also needs some proper formatting.
Experience
The more you practice the better you get you may want to grind experience but that wont work here pick when your going to play and play against people at your skill level where you aren't losing or winning constantly. like all things practice makes perfect so don't think that reading this info alone will help you improve in game use this as a guideline along with practice and soon you'll be getting better and can take on "the big dogs"(needs a better analogy)
Know the server
Base strategies upon which server you're in.
Rubber
Low-In a low rubber server you'll want to be careful about where you grind pick your spots and try to play in the open if possible
High-In a high rubber server look for who isn't getting close to walls and out grind them(this can lead to some fun Grid_Games#Tunneling also try to play on medium rubber before coming here so you'll have a slight advantage by not using rubber you can also pick spots of when to drain all your rubber in a single grind and take out a player or 2
cycle_accel
Low accel- This wont leave you much room for mistakes you'll often be going slow so you'll have to pick where you'll attack someone read anticipation again for more help
High accel- This is where the split second decisions make or break you don't let slow players trick you into a sense of control be wary and you'll easily defeat them however if your on the other side playing possum isn't often a bad idea pick whichever works best for you
trail length
Inf- This wont leave much room for error if you leave someone too big a box they'll stall for a long time try to flow them in as far as you can if they hide and don't let anyone camp if possible but again you'll have to pick when you relentlessly attack and when you leave them inside a box
Limited- Alright making a box for guys here is pointless they'll just stall and escape make any boxes here as small as possible limited often pits you against more relentlessly attacking rivals fell free to stall if you have to as it is generally accepted but don't sit around doing nothing for to long or you'll just be camping again pick your spots here
Anticipation
-Learn how the individual player reacts.-
-1.Retreats - look for openings and try to take this guy out first. If he's hugging walls you can either out grind him or go around to the other side and force him to either get off the wall out grind you or take a corner(grind one wall and then grind the next outer wall perpendicular to it he'll have to beat both grinds to survive ) . general running try to build up enough speed to overcome the player most runners will not have an offense plan and can be overtaken easily you'll have to change strategies depending on other situations as well use your best and varied strategies for each situation as it arises.
-2.Attacks - Judge where this guys going to make his move and assault you if he's using speed you can make some quick turns to throw him off often killing him or throwing him off giving you room to stall or a chance to escape and turn the tables
-How you should attack and respond.-
-1 Defense - Most of this is just stalling if you get trapped try mazing if you exit will come about quickly(depends on server)zig zag if you waiting for someones wall to come down (or retreat) and try not to camp unless necessary (this includes repeated 180'ing and making patterns (making boxes/other)
-2 Offense - After you play for a while you'll figure out what to do in most situations. remember to vary how you attack players based on their own styles of play and don't forget to have at least some fun
