You think you can take me?

[Acrawlingchaos]

You think you're all that and a fountain of adam? Well, I'm not scared and I see nothing but air and oppurtunity. let's take it out of the forums and into the games.

We have seen a lot of discussion on what's lame, noobish and downright douchebaggery. Here we can call one another out for some one VS one showdowns.

So, what should the rules of one vs one be?

Well I just see one tonic that should not be used. Resurrection. As this is a one V one match up, resurrection would be in poor taste.. So that means everything else is in. If anyone has any ideas on what would be inappropriate for a one VS one match up. Please post your thoughts.

Let's actually make some match ups and fight for bragging rights.

I'll start it off by calling out LanceGloryTower. You are my friend, but I want to know who actually has the bigger set.

(as the discussion evolves, we can solidify a proper 1 VS 1 guideline and will edit this top post to reflect that)

According to the Sticky thread by 2k Elizabeth.
"Please use this area for talking about maps, strategies, tournaments, meetups, etc. "

As this is a multiplayer games where PVP match up is the name of the game, and one vs one matchups sure sound like a meet up or a tournament, I don't see why the mods would have an issue with this.

The important part is that the douchbaggery is kept in check. Call each other out with class, not like the splicer you play.

[TheEpicFish]

Lol, I'm guessing my thought has had absolutely no influence on this thread. :P

I actually don't care about 1v1's to be honest, but I'm pretty sure I'd absolutely pwn.

For someone that doesn't care about one vs one, those are some pretty strong fighting words.

And Fish, your words should carry great weight, don't be so down on your self.


Such a low self esteem for such a big ego. What a confusing fish.

Geez are you sure that's it? Lots of awesome ideas. I think narrowing it down to a couple basic ones would be best. The more fine tuned we get the more muddled the rules become. I think 3-5 different types with one being called custom.

By the way, I know most of the abbreviations, what is OHK? Go ahead, tell me now so I can feel stupid later.

I sarcastly said that, I was hoping for someone else to take the time to make a thread such as this after glancing at the title of a thread by Keiji, seeing as I was too lazy, hurr hurr.

And yes, one vs. one's are pretty pointless for the most part since you could easily spawn trap an opponent. Though it would definately show some skill during those moments where you're constantly killing said opponent in even situations where s/he would have the upper hand at a glance.

And yes, I pwn. :B

One hit kill, and these aren't rules per say, just different game modes with specific rules within them :P

Dude, to avoid the "spawn trap an opponent" thing, you could easily choose Fort Frolic. Such a nice place to 1 on 1 xD. Although the hiding would become quite annoying cause it's such a huge place. Fish, we should 1 on 1 . To say I've been already 95% of the players on ps3 xD Only ones to beat me was Rybow and Zurkon. I could list who i've beaten, but the list goes on and on :P

Alrighty Chaos, I get home around 10:15 am EST, let me play a couple of sotf matches to warm up and I'll be happy to throw your nades back at you.

[Codex]

Eh, I should have said this when I saw the thread pop up. Yes, this thread falls under the meet ups, hang outs, tournaments etc rules. However, if it starts to devolve into a "I'm better than you, lol you loser" which results in butthurt conversation from either side taking place afterwards then I'll have to reevaluate that.

Hopefully that won't happen. Enjoy :3

You never beat me!

Although I have only ever played you a hand full of times.....and of those I don't even remember how you played as it has been so long since I have played.

Ah well, I'm not a fan of 1v1s any way, but I am sure it would've been close.

[Acrawlingchaos]

Alrighty Chaos, I get home around 10:15 am EST, let me play a couple of sotf matches to warm up and I'll be happy to throw your nades back at you.

HAHA, No nades for you. I've been having fun with houdini and the shotgun lately. I have to go to the Gym in the morning, apparently my woman wants me to be prettier (shrugs). I should be available around 11 ish at the latest. You should be plenty warmed up by then.

By the way. this will be a great oppurtunity to play the new (old) maps. Most people haven't figured out spawn locations there.

Sounds good, maybe I'll play around with a couple of "just for fun" load outs.
And Houdini/Shotty... That was my original load out for months when first starting to play, I should be able to handle that

Another good point made. In order to keep these Duels consistent, we should determine some of the better maps on which to pvp or just limit the area (i.e. keep it to one floor). I think setting up PVP zones / maps would be a great idea.

It's going to be awfully humiliating to get my arse handed to me by one of your "just for fun" load outs. I better bring my A game.

The anything goes is great. The basic default. This isn't about how many kills you get, but how many times they die. So if you rez kill yourself. It's still a death. Those with the least deaths wins.

By Pro Mode, I assume you mean that it's down to the weapon choice. Identical weapon to be used.

Purist. Great idea, but unfortuneatly you cant verify that the other person isn't using his tonics. Some of which could easily be hidden. Leaves to much room for arguments.

No guns. Easy to verify.

Melee only. Once again, can't verify no tonics and slugger is too large a part of Melee.

Everything else is just particulars. I think it we narrow it down any further, you are just handing an advantage to someone and excluding far to many areas. Additionally, it just leads to who's noob etc. In all honesty, in a one to one fight, it shouldn't matter because there is a load out to counter everything. Furthermore, there isn't a team that is spamming a single nuisance.

So I think we can keep it to

Everything Goes
Pro Duel
No Gunz
Melee (no plasmids)
Custom

[Atlas-]

I have yet to face anyone on these forums so what happily take people on in the 1 on 1,
and as for the tonic problems you can check as when you die as there load out pops up.
I think the plasmid only one sounds great.

EDIT: Is there any way to get peoples PSN ID's I'd like to start seeing how some of you play

[Acrawlingchaos]

Ok the results are in between myself and LanceGloryTower.

I would like to say it was close, but it wasn't. Sadly, he complied with my call out and swiftly handed me my arse. Three games in total where played. Rules where simple, anything goes and deaths were counted (as any accidental death counted against you).

Game one, 8 - 14 Lance Wins

Game two, 5 - 14 Lance Wins

Game three, 5 - 16 Lance Wins

18 - 44 total for a 2.44 kill ratio.

This isn't the last time Lance. I'll eat my Wheaties, Drink my milk and inject enough Adam straight into my neck to keep me pumping for days.

All in all, awesome match. This definitely helped me to start experimenting with other load outs. Thanks for the arse whooping.

My pleasure, it also let me play with things I would not normally uses, such as Incinterate+EG(dmg boost) body shot and Houdini (you burned to death so much ^_^) The Grenade launcher head shooting was all fail as you always seemed to be in my face lol

Was fun, and thanks again.

[wateraja]

Muhahah 1v1s are fun actually it helps you undestand and get used to a way a person plays......i beat everyone in a 1v1 on bio except 2 ppl no wait 3ppl i cant say the names due to the rules but yea.....i lose some of them but when you learn the mental ablility i have you land every single shot dont matter what i mean its easy just use your "Mental ablitity".

[Magic Lango]

I challenge anybody on PC who wants a go, assuming anybody but me is still on these forums. That said, I feel like an issue we may be overlooking with 1v1s, at least for the PC, is host advantage. Seems to me, whoever gets to be host will have far less lag and a huge advantage over the opponent, so I'd suggest holding matches with each player as host, or maybe having a third afk person as host to mediate. Is this an issue on the consoles, or do u guys have better matchmaking?

Just have a 3rd person make the room and invite everyone else. That way the two competitors don't have the "home court" advantage.

ofcource only when alowed
I would never grab the BD suit if I agree with a player not to grab it

You're Alex? I remember you. You beat my ass 1 on 1. I think... I remember an Alex beating me 1 on 1 Lol

I don't remember, it was probably 7 to 10 months ago :P

Anybody willing to do some funsies?

[bigbrother1334]

Anybody willing to do some funsies?

I never do 1 on 1's cause I stress myself too much, it's like setting myself up to fail. The only times I've had fun in a 1 on 1 setting is if it starts out as no fighting (ie, just watching another 1 on 1 battle).. oh, and the time I beat Keiji in a no-stun match.

Sparring is different, tho. Practicing with another player in a private match is different that competing no matter how friendly the competition.

So, to get to my point, I'd love to practice with ya and better my counter-attacks sometime... but you'll have to restrain yourself lol
