My new four-game orcs have made 8 touchdowns total, 7 of those with bobs (twice in the rain). To be fair, I've had some pretty good luck. Bobs with Block are sooo sweeet.

Multi-block / Jump-Up Assassins are hilarious. I built a gimmick team that pushed all the SPP onto 2 assassins, and it was fun to play. With a JU assassin, you can stab from the ground, and with multi-block, you can stab multiple people in one go. It's not a good strategy by any means, but it is very fun! This LP is making me want to start playing BB again... Not sure if that's a good thing or not. I think I'll need to bring my Elfy Chaos out of retirement to play Gnu though - the thread needs to see a +AG extra arm Mino all star receiver in action (plus the Mino TD dance is amazing!).

 Match 6Somehow I manage to gently caress up the numbering on these matches this early in the commentary! Fairly Elected (GNU Order, Necromantic) vs Shatterdome Jaeger Squad (Cuwi, Lizardmen)

I would say I prefer the player names to the position names. They should be turned on when you are dealing with teams that have players that look the same (cough Humans cough), but when you are dealing with teams whose players are really obvious we don't need it.

Injured Vet teams playing rookie teams is great. It's even better when you're a ~1200 TV team where all of that is the one super-star that survived the genocide.

I'm not very good at planning out what I do ahead of time. I move dudes too quickly based on spur of the moment "wow I really want to punch that guy" decisions and then everything ends horribly. I blitzed Santos because I wasn't thinking "I can get like a million skinks on Ra's", I was thinking "gently caress he's gonna score AGAIN, man I really want to punch that ghoul." And for what it's worth, I always play with player names on instead of positions. I know which of my skinks is the +MA rear end in a top hat (I have a second, better, lizard team) based on his name. "Skink" doesn't tell me which one he is at a glance. You also totally pronounced Cuwi correctly. I don't know why that gives some people trouble, but you guys got it right.

Their strong points and weak points are both really obvious and things you can leverage for and against your own team. It's not like playing Orcs or Amazons or Dwarves where the whole team has a single gimmick like being super-unhurtable or dodgey or Hitler. There's players you can hurt, players who can't dodge to save their life, ect. Mostly though, they're just a really cool team.

Half of the team are small, quick, slippery bastards that die easily, half are big stompy bastards that'll try and kill you, and then there's the massive Godzilla-like beast of a Kroxigor lurking around, waiting to smash heads. Obvious at a glance, even if you know next to nothing about Blood Bowl, you know which ones to roughly which things. I think Lizardmen is a really well done team from that visual standpoint.

Lizards are fun, but I seem to never have a problem against them. The whole team is full of achilles heels, but the worst of all is that their ball handlers are stunties.

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of lizards. They gently caress with a lot of basic axioms of the game--tackle zones and assists matter less when there are so many unassisted 2dbs available for both teams, you've got really good stunty players, and most of the team doesn't care about agility anyhow. I get why they're popular, but personally I enjoy the ST3/AG3 type match ups the best.

Shazzner posted:Lizards are really cool and fun to play as and against. I wish this was a lizard LP! Oh yeah, I totally forgot to mention in the video that this was very nearly a lizard LP It's also worth mentioning that Lizards are very much a team who thrive in this open league format, versus say the more traditional closed league where you may play 10 or 12 matches total. This also makes their strengths and weakness much more apparent. A perfectly build lizard team is possibly the scariest team to play against because they have so much potential

Sindai posted:It feels like most teams could benefit from being more like Lizardmen. Teams where each positional is only differentiated by one or two basic starting skills are pretty boring. For teams that must be like that at least make them like Dark Elves where they get some pretty crazy starting skills. Which is why I'm so sad cyanide have put in Khorne instead of Slann. Slann has such a great mix of hilarious bullshit and crippling weaknesses. For those who don't know, Slann are a bunch of frog people who all start with leap and very long legs, which means they can all leap as easily as they can dodge. Most of them have agi 3, and the only re-rolls that can affect leap are team rerolls and Pro. Yes, it is perfectly legitimate to get Pro on Slaan linemen. The rest of their positionals only have skills related to jumping. The blizers have Diving Tackle and Jump Up, and the catchers have Diving Catch. Slann have no passing access, but if you get doubles on a lineman, it is actually reasonable to get Hail Marry Pass and throw down the entire field to your catchers. Also fun fact: You can leap during Pass Block. Pass Block frogs destroy elf passing game so hard. In conclusion: Instead of giving us the Best Team, Cyanide gave a pile of poo poo with a Bloodthurster on top.

apostateCourier posted:I would play nothing but Slaan. Leap is the most fun skill. The only reason I didn't do exactly that in fumbbl, is because back when I played there Pass Block and Hail Mary Pass weren't implemented. Actually, you could still select them from the skill up menu, they just did nothing in game, and wasted a skill up. This was only mentioned in the long list of release notes for the client on their forum. When I mentioned there that this was a blatant newbie trap and kind of bad game design, I got chewed out for daring to criticize the devs who selflessly programmed the client in their free time. Stuff like that was one of the reasons I stopped playing fumbbl.

Stuff like that was one of the reasons I stopped playing fumbbl. I'd say the key to a joyous fumbbl experience is not visiting the forums, ever. There are some genuinely brilliant and very pleasant people doing lots of hard work to keep it going and keep everybody happy. There are also some people who boggle the loving mind, and not in a good way. The fumbbl client is out of beta now, though, which seems to imply all the skills are in. Bombers certainly are and I've seen hail mary pass working. I'd rate it above cyanide even just for the pathfinding, let alone everything else. Graphics are a down point, though the simple 2d gives you an excellent overview of the pitch. Also regarding frogs, it bears mentioning that very long legs improve your int rolls as well as chances to not land on one's face. Which means a +AG catcher intercepts on a 3+ roll.

I am 99% sure Passblock and HMP work in FumBBL now. Plus the developer randomly added card functionality just cause he could. https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=8857344 https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=8808081 https://fumbbl.com/p/player?player_id=8808083 I continue my tradition of Statmonsters. Frogs are amazing. 420 Leap ev'ry day. There is something delightfully disgusting about going "eh, I'll just leap over this guy with a lineman. Only a 3+!" uPen posted:Frogs are so bad. I don't know why you'd say a team with 110k blitzers who don't start with block are a bad team! They have a Kroxigor and everything
