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)

Thanks Positive and Darkcanuck... looks like my movement has a long road ahead... particularly with the way that Portia's score jumped when it gained wavesurfing ability there. By the way Positive, I consider it quite impressive how quickly you got some wavesurfing working there :) --Rednaxela 05:01, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Wavesurfing at the end of the melee match

Here's a little question I have about wavesurfing at the end of the melee match for Voidious/Positive/ABC: When using wavesurfing in the 1v1 stage of a melee battle, do you only start learning any wavesurfing data after it becomes 1v1, or is there soem data you carry over from the melee stage? If not, any plans to maybe do so? --Rednaxela 05:05, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
