Who would you say is the most robust marine player?

[NoahKirchner]

Too bad she has dumb, purple hair.

I'm really, REALLY bad though

Nah you're better than most

[Kavrick]

I honestly wish i was robust, im decent in melee but i spend so much time doing medical that it's the only thing im good at.

Cant remember hia full name, will edit if i see him again, had "wulf" as his nickname i think, tough mother fucker killed two xenos with nothing but his combat knife

Robust = being Johnny Rambo in every way possible, massive powergaming(this word is fucking stupid and should only stay for HRP servers), being selfish as much as possible to achieve a goal alone.

Robust =/= team player, no powergaming, good at only one thing, being selfless as much as possible to achieve a goal as a team.

You're all terrible at actually being robust.

Robust can mean different things, depends on the context, your baldie is showing.

This isn't HRP, sissy, yet CM is going towards that way.

What has being robust got to do with levels of RP?
also you talk like hrp is bad

[Crab_Spider]

I would consider Jackson Dee and Xiphos Volund the most robust. When they show up, I can only see the asskickings intensify. Uriel Turner (my main man) also fits in this category when he leads.

Crab, you couldn't 1v1 a larva with a bootknife, you'd get your ankles robusted before you could get your first hit in.

You never even seen me play and I never made any implication that I was referring to myself

I've seen you fight plenty of times bro, and needless to say, you're name doesn't belong in this topic.

No you didn't.

Im eh, sometimes really good sometimes complete trash at times.

It all depends on luck, the person your facing, and lag at the time tbh.

Sometimes you kill the Queen solo due to the fact that you got stuck in a small room with her, had a shotgun, and she was off Screech.

Sometimes you die instantly because you get rushed by the hive and no matter how many people are around you and your own robust skills there just isn't enough time to put damage on the hive before your taken away and killed / hugged.

You can predict the flow of battle, where the xenos are, where the marines are, and when its time to retreat but even then there is the odd chance of being ambushed, or the xeno's being weird and trying out a new strategy, or all the marines suddenly getting a burst of courage and all rushing at the same time for no explained reasoning and winning.

Its just how it is.

[Dirty Old Harry]

No you didn't.

What do you mean by that? I used to observe rounds all the time and i've seen Rhodes IC numerous times too, you might be better than your average baldie with buckshot but you're not exactly "Robust"

It's called the Potion of Plot. The Gods shall bestow it upon me, and the legendary Plot Armor materializes around me, but because this is a divine potion fueled by the desires of the Gods, they shall give th and taketh away.

This. Never trade luck for skill.

Cool story bro.

Thank you, it helps me cope with your bullshit.

[MrJJJ]

Thank you, it helps me cope with your bullshit.

Also helps us cook you to get that ego off

[Crab_Spider]

I don't have an ego, it's merely me defending myself.

[Dirty Old Harry]

Defending what? You know you actually need to have a reputation as a good player before you can try to defend your reputation.

Your move.

[Swagile]

if only individual robustness was valued in CM

but its classed as powergaming, or nerfed by developers, so individual robustness has taken the seat to team oriented robustness

there are still some roles where individual robustness matter (combat medic is one) but sooner or later devs will find a way to nerf them too when too many robust people play it (just like engineering) so this thread is basically a way to find out which role is popular with "powergamers"

Now. Was this to roast me? Or was this a statement? Because let's be frank, if I insulted you IRL, what would be the point of responding? That seems to be your only way of getting someone too. Drag them down to your level and beat them with your already low experience to compensate. Now. If you're the one judging me, please explain your definition of robust.

My definition of robust? Impossible, there's no such thing as being robust. There's skill and there's luck and the two don't usually mix, managing to fuck up an elite crusher with a bootknife would be well played from a skilled player. Trying to shoot a Hunter with buckshot just as he pounces at you and blowing her away would arguably fall under luck since you were just firing at them and happened to fire as they pounced.

Now i have a question for you: Why do you put so much effort into this? Do you really hold it of a high level of importance when someone thinks lesser of you on a 2d spaceman game cause from what i've seen of you on the forums, you take your reputation quite seriously when really most people here don't give much of a fuck about their ego or reputation or whatever, take Noah for example, he'll bring himself down to act goofy or say something funny and doesn't care that people might go, "Why is this guy saying something so stupid?".

So again, your move.

Who said I cared what other people thought of me? Are you forcing this in to get me into the stalemate? If so, it's not working. I will not let someone of my equal get the last laugh if I'm not in the wrong, and I will not be insulted on matters that are out of my control. Now, please leave Noah out of this discussion.
