Seemed to be mostly because SS was inexperienced with PvP. Eck’s moves were a lot faster than his.
SS is a pretty deliberation-heavy player to begin with, but I’m sure the pressure of PvP in front of a crowd didn’t help.
HA. I wouldn't call SS's thought process "deliberation" - he's the type of person who debates whether to get a Big Mac with coke or Big Mac with pepsi for 5 min then wonder which payment method is best for another 5....when the store is out pepsi and he forgot to bring his wallet.
The fact that someone like him can steam roll 3-skulls with just paint scratches makes me want to spend my first day editing json files before I boot the game.
True, but the lion's share of damage was delivered by the lights and the medium.
Video links are up for your viewing pleasure!
* Eck vs Sidestrafe:
* Then I play some more procedural missions:
I was this close || from losing my Kintaro in the second mission. I think it was a 3.5 skull escort. I was also super close to bankruptcy cause I keep spending all my money on , upgrades, pilots, and extravagent lifestyle.
A special thanks to SideStrafe for accepting the challenge and getting setup to do some PVP on such short notice. He's a cool guy to talk to and play BattleTech with. He's done a great job streaming the game and several viewers were bragging on him about how many on-the-fence viewers he's convinced to preorder BattleTech. Good job SideStrafe! And thanks for all your dedication. When BattleTech wins, we all benefit! \o/
If there's something in particular you want to see me do in the game, just let me know. Last time you said you wanted PVP and you got it!
I'm still working on a streaming schedule, but I'll probably take Monday off.

Beagle is looking to skirmish and if you have the time, the community will make time!
Great streams over the weekend Chris, thank you very kindly! :bow:
Enjoy these next few days and all the events and excitement over the Launch of BATTLETECH, you’ve earned it.
You and all of Team HBS are at the heart of something truly special. Thank you for what is about to be released into the Wild of the BattleTech Franchise. : )
I'm am not going to lie: it was so satisfying to watch Strafe's poor decision & ultra-conservative playstyle finally punish him so decisively.
As much as I personally love PvE, PvP is where BattleTech truly shines. Hats off to both players for their sportsmanship throughout.
