I honestly cannot see the skill in repeating the same move 30 times in a row.
From what I can see, that kick that you spam with has killed joust, and degraded it to a level where it is no longer playable.
Now, only the people who are lame enough to use it will actually have a chance of winning, in any joust tournament.

This reminds me a lot of the death of sumo, when the X-Punch was created.

their are other decent moves in jousting other than the "focker". but the thing is most people suck. any time you want i will tell you exactly how to use the "focker" and you can try and win, maybe then you will see it isn't just the move that gives you an auto-win, that is does take skill, and understanding of what what the other person will do.
I r Batdude.
I love that logic.
"It isn't skill, it is all luck. That's why you win 30 times in a row. Freestyle, of course, is different. People don't get big streaks."
Mate, winning repeatedly isn't luck.
That's skill.
If it was luck, you should lose at least 50% of the time.
Like I see happening quite often in "freestyle".
As it is, one person can dominate in joust because they are better.
Do you know how many people know how to, and do, use the focker kick?
Hundreds at least.
Do you know how often they beat me?
1 : 30.
When you can get that ratio from anyone in freestyle, you can tell me that it is more skill based.
Until then, it is just a random crapshoot.

I'm... I'm so sorry...

Meet ya here, mates!!
Lycka till!
I didn't actually say that using the kick was luck, in case you didnt notice.

Sure, anyone can use that focker kick, many do, when they see people winning constantly with it. After all, it only requires moving 4 joints in the first turn.
But that doesn't mean that they use it effectively.
I apologise if I did not make this clear.
When I say use the kick, I meant, using it effectively, so that very, very few moves can counter it.
This kills joust, and makes it accessable to only an elite few (two).

The reason that people don't get huge streaks in Freestyle is because it is very open.
Anything can happen, people can make comebacks, and of course, there is a small amount of luck involved.
I do not deny this element of luck.
In my opinion, it makes the game more fun, and less predictable.

I have so many more arguments, but so little time. D:
For now...
I will make a thread about this in wibbles or something, at the weekend, and we can continue this discussion.

Ok, let me try to end this.


Joust (for PID666, Isha, and Hammster) is not luck or skill. Well, a little luck. Its not that joust isn't fun because everyone does the focker, its not fun when Isha, Pid666, or hammster comes in and plays. Reason why is not because of luck, maybe not all that much skill. Its the fact that they mastered Joust, and we havn't. Thats why its not fun to have jousting tournys when they are playing in them.

Long story short, Isha, PID666, and Hammster mastered Jousting.

But why end it? D:<
It isn't a flame war, it is a discussion.

We are expressing our opinions, trying to back them up with facts and assertions, and then concluding our arguments.
We are not calling each other retards, n00bs, or anything insulting that may lead people to believe that this is a petty flame war.

This is a debate.
Let it continue.

Well, ok then, let me put this in your words then. I just concluded it for you. Continue it if you must, but I think that pretty much explains it all.
