Talk:Glacier

0.1

I know 4th place is no surprise after your GlacialHawk releases, but debuting at 4th place above Aleph is still a very nice job. Congrats. =) --Voidious 14:13, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Honestly, 4th place was a surprise for me despite the strong gun proven in the GlacialHawk releases. I'd only given Glacier's movement one test before release: Glacier 0.1, GlacialHawk 1.10, and 8 HawkOnFires. In that test Glacier outscored GlacialHawk barely, but that was somewhat unsurprising: Glacier's movement is a min-risk movement that is extremely focused on HOT dodging and will assume everyone fires HOT. In the case of a bunch of HawkOnFires, that assumption holds true, but I had serious doubts about how it would operate in the wider melee field. I expected it to fall at least behind Aleph in the ranks, but it seems that it turned out to rank a little better than GlacialHawk. --Rednaxela 14:25, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Congrats for me also! Being able to dodge HOT is very important, using that you immediatly dodge some circular targeting when your perpendicular velocity=0 as well. :)--Positive 20:53, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Wow, this looks like a really serious contender! I don't envy you trying to fine-tune your movement, given how strong GlacialHawk already is. --Darkcanuck 22:24, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
