Awesome, finally a discussion I'd enjoy getting in on.
I think generally, EP is probably the best 'player' on Era right now, if he is active. Corey can beat more players, more consistently than EP can. However, EP's style is problematic for Corey. In addition, EP can also beat many players consistently, and the difference between the number [of players] he can beat and those Corey can beat is not sufficient to warrant Corey being better than him. That may, perhaps, be due to the diminishing talent on Era, but it is what it is.
That being said, the best 'player' on era title really does not mean much now, since the difference between players has drastically declined. It's not like you any longer have good players, then some godmode player. Given my absence, and that of other notable players, what was regarded as garbage is now acceptable, and what was acceptable, exceptional. As for what was exceptional? Extinct.
In all, well-done EP. By having a presence in regular PK, as well as in sparring, you've taken over meng. I promise I will not rain on your parade. Not any time soon, at least. It seems like this past month and a half was apparently what they regard here at Harvard as 'light' weeks.
@Grim: Era has had three categories of players with exceptional talent in the past. The weakest of these were those who could shoot often, but do so effectively [spray and pray, Salesman, Tk, etc]. Distinctly, those who shot infrequently, but were precise in their shooting [Bloodwork, etc]. The last, those who could shoot frequently, but shoot precisely [Soul Family members, for the most part]
Not toot my own horn, but I think I was the only player that mastered that category in its entirety, and, as a result, I could often shift my style to use a combination of moves from all three categories. I am impressed to see quite a few players have learned it recently [Lust, Corey], but they're all still too slow and predictable to counteract sprayers [first category] like EP. In either case, things look interesting. |
