    so... we just.. post a vid?
    isnt it sort of unfair because those who go later can just copy the others

    hrm interesting, would you rather everyone pm the vids to me and then at the end of the 3 days I post them or something?

    idk...
    i kinda like the no hassle no obligation style of it
    but then it's kinda like the price is right where you're screwed if you go first xD

    Well let's try out just posting vids then, I mean there's only a certain number of tricks you could possibly do, but then again that's why we're doing a test run, I think we should try it by posting first, I'll upload mine now.



    So Shadow Rev 1.5 12-12 -> Shadow Rev 1.5 12-34. 4 points w00t!

    @Anemia was that Bak 12-123 -> Midbak 123-34 -> Pinkybak? if so then yes 6 points

    please provide a breakdown with videos, forgot to mention that

  12. Anemia

    Yes, that's what it was, sorry tongue.gif

    thats what I thought at first but it's actually 3

    @yoonkwun that doesn't look like inverse shadow to me...

    did you mean Shadow Reverse 13-23 -> Shadow Reverse 23-34, because that doesn't start in 12

    if you look in the very beginning it starts at 12

    Passing from bak>mid bak, is what completes my first bak.

    im very unsure about this

    Video -> Full View • Download

    slo-moed
    sonic 34-24 1.0 ~> pass(around) 24-12 0.5 ~ inverse sonic 1.5 12-12
    ummm
    well... sonic is 1 point
    pass is 1 point
    now the inverse shadow: because i didnt execute the inverse shadow by normal means, the minimal rotation would actually be 0.5, which would make the entire thing 2.0 revolutions
    so, if that's worth 3 initially...
    it has 1.0 extra spins, making it 4 points...
    for a grand total of 6 points


    uhm...
    yeah idk i had trouble, im probably overestimating my points, just let me know

  18. sangara
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 03:50:56

    I hate to correct you like this but it was to go from 12 to 34 not 34 to 12

    But you're right on the points I would have calculated it the same.

  19. Shadowserpant
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 03:52:23

    LOL im an idiot i just told yoonkwun that too xD

    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 03:54:10

    Ok... I don't think Anemia's video should count because...it wasn't even close to smooth sad.gif

    More like this should be right:



    That's how it should look in my opinion..

  21. sangara
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 03:56:25

    but he did the tricks, what's the fuss about?

  22. Fripâ„¢
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 04:00:03

    I'm just saying... IDon't really care lol.


    Here's mine:



    Shadow 2.0 12-34 -> Pinkyaround 34-34

    7 points.

  23. Shadowserpant
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 04:03:43

    i dont consider that a pinkyaround...
    i always thought that was a devils shadow 34-34
    is that what you meant by it* sangara oO?




    *edit

  24. sangara
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 04:09:40

    Yea the pinkyaround I was talking about was this one, where you like have to turn your hand http://www.upsb.info/wiki/index.php/Pinkyaround#Pinkyaround that's why I made it worth so much

    Hrm ok so Frip your Shadow Reverse 2.0 would be worth 2.5 points, but then the trick at the end hrm not sure how many points to give 2 I guess so that gives you 4.5 points.

  25. Shadowserpant
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 04:12:07

    yeah but...
    gah idk
    i imagine it differently
    in a pretty insane way
    well alright w/e

  26. sangara
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 04:19:16

    Ok so this is working a lot better than I thought it would, what do you guys think so far?

  27. Fripâ„¢
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 04:22:36

    Um. Pinkyaround is what I did..

    Pinkyaround has a Devil's Shadow 34-34 push.


    Anyways...you need to rethink the rules. Take out Backhand Tracer (It has 0 Revolutions.. -> 3 free points) And half the point for Pinkyaround. Or something along those lines.



    ^- Example.


    Backhand Tracer -> Pinkyaround -> Pinkybak -> Pinkyaround...

    15 or so points..

    But it's a good game for beginners to come up with combos. (Not just beginners ! )

  28. sangara
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 04:27:40

    Eh yea I just kinda threw in Backhand Tracer because I figured no one would actually used it, but you also notice that I put in non-FL in the pinkbak section so in order to get said 5 points you actually have to do the non-FL version.

    Devil's Shadow push? facepalm.gif you're just interrupting a Devil's Shadow with an FL Pinkyaround. sigh

    lol have fun with the game. Nobody will try to be a smartass about how you do your pinkyarounds in a clipbatttle.
    Just wait until taichi shows up he'll lecture you and if he doesn't show up then I don't care either lol.

    ehhh sorry Sangara...but i agree with Frip on this one....a game that gives harder combos less points just doesn't make sense... huh(1).gif

  34. Missle_Z
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 06:06:45

    Well that's the reason we're giving this a test ride, because then we can find out how we can improve this game.

    when did frip say that oO

  36. sangara

    Yea that's what I was wondering too...

  37. Zombo
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 17:11:15

    back hand tracer does count

    the rotation is along another axis, its the "rolling motion"

    i think its 1.0 rotation by slot moved

    maybe execution should be taken into account

    for instance

    (points) * execution = final value, where execution is between 0.0 and 1.0 (this is like diving)

    or

    points + execution = final value, (this is like gymnastics)

  38. sangara
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 17:17:39

    I figured that it was a rolling motion but as soon as I put it up I realized that it would cause confusion I'll think about it, along with the other things you have pitched.

    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 21:16:14

    Sorry, I have the most trouble with baks, this is just a test round, really doesn't matter tongue.gif

    EDIT*
    Yes, I think you should add a section for execution, like smoothness, or style.
    but don't take points away, just add them. IMO it will make the game harder/more interesting biggrin.gif

  40. sangara
    Date: Fri, Nov 14 2008 23:42:21

    Ok I'm going to start up another test round if anyone is interested, I'll keep the scores for lulz.

    meh, perhaps more of a vague generalization of Frip's comments...but it seemed as though he was aiming in that direction
