Title: Theodin's Book of Melee
Post by: Theodin on February 20, 2017, 08:21:33 am

I'M WRITING A BOOK

Introduction:

Spoiler

Well, not really a book. More like a collection of my accrued melee knowledge based on what I've seen competing against NA's best. It's for sure a work in progress, and it's slow progress, but it's coming along. This is all based off of empirical knowledge, and could be completely wrong. The purpose of this project, you ask? Well, because (basically) Russian dared me to, and I thought I might as well write down all this information I have stored in my head. The book will discuss players, their play styles, different moves, tactics, and my top 10 players I've played against, as well as my two 8v8 groupfighting dream teams. I know little about cav so none of that (sorry Lurvy) and i'm not that knowledgeable about leadership, so those won't be included in this project.

Chapter One Explanation:

Spoiler

Everyone has their own play style. Having played with a lot of good players, and having played against a lot more, I have collected information about their styles and what they like to do. These first 25 names come in no order (except I started doing alphabetically, although that ended quickly) so if your name is at the bottom or top, that doesn't mean anything. Obviously I've missed some people, and I do plan to put more names on the list, so don't worry about it. I've purposely refrained from putting mention of skill in this analysis, so don't get your panties in a twist. While there may not be much detail for some of the names, I can go into more in depth analysis about the players if i'm asked, so don't be shy! Also, if you know who influenced a player that I have listed unknown for, please tell me and i'll update. I am very open to critique, so fire away!

Chapter Two: "Moves"

Spoiler

Moves, movements and attacks

Related to attacks:
There are three main directions of attacks: Left, centre, and right.

Left is often referred to as a side swing, where the attack is directed to the left side (facing) of the opponent. This usually causes the attack to create a difference in timing, causing a second or two delay in time between start of swing and hit.
Often the attack is aimed at the end or just past the end of the opponents musket while he's blocking and slightly swung over - however, the attack may be aimed at any distance away from the opponent, and as long as the attack hits properly it will create a delay.

Centre attacks are, surprisingly, the least commonly found at higher tiers of melee. Often seen with newer players, this attack is straight and hits in the middle of the opponent's body or block. This attack is often the easiest to chamber, as there is no hold in it, unless done purposely.
This attack, if thrown in at correct times, can actually cause problems with defensive timing, especially with higher skilled players, as this attack is very low skill and will not be expected.

Attacks swung to the right of the player hitbox are the hardest to accurately land, as the nature of the bayonet and player meta creates a tendency to hit the player on the left side of their body. Without careful practice and mouse movement, the attack will either miss to the left or to the right.
The side of the hitbox that the right swing attacks is harder to hit, but that disadvantage is traded by the fact that the right swing attack attacks faster than the other two swings, having the shorter distance to travel.

Related to movement:
While it may be impossible to fully categorize and break down movement, there are three main types of movement: aggressive movement, defensive movement, and lateral movement.

Aggressive movement, commonly known as w keying or face hugging, involves moving in such a way that it brings the player model closer to the opponent.
Aggressive forward movement can often create an instant and temporary psychological advantage and cause your opponent to either panic block, move away, or panic spam.
However, aggressive movement coupled with holds or spams can often leave you exposed to lateral movements like sidesteps or hook swings.

Defensive Movement, sometimes referred to as s-keying, involves retreating to a safe distance from the enemy.
Defensive movement can save your life. Often there are situations where being in close enough distance to the enemy is not in your advantage, and defensive movement gives you the opportunity to slow the fight down into your favor.
However, defensive movement in most cases takes away your ability to kill the opponent, and gives him the opportunity to refresh, making it a double edged sword.

Lateral Movement, often called sidesteps or a-d keying, involves moving your character model to one side or the other, creating a different view of your and the enemy’s hitboxes.
Side Stepping is the process of moving quickly to your opponent's side to cause his attack to miss, leaving his side open and vulnerable.
However, side stepping and other lateral movements happen after the opponent has already attacked, and not getting a sufficient distance away gives you a significant timing disadvantage with your block or chamber timing.

In the opinion of the writer, it becomes difficult to create a list or description of advanced moves from scratch, only from demonstration. Therefore, i’ll breakdown a couple rounds of a duel between BillTheButcher and Maple from 2016, showing the moves and thought process of the duelists. Video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T061TGWPTBU&t=379s
(Mute if you don't like J Cole, and yes, I fixed the audio)

The video is not the full duel: at the start it is 2-2.

1. The first move my Bill at 0.01 is a standard centre up attack combined with forward movement in an attempt to make the attack too fast to block.
However, Maple counters with a up-stun block, instantly transferring to a kick. The kick misses.

2. Bill moves backwards slightly and holds an up attack, while Maple moves out of range and does nothing.

3. Bill then moves closer, still holding the attack, and fients once. Maple blocks and moves out of range.

4. At 0.12, Bill continues to hold, and Maple spins and stuns himself against the fence. This creates an opening for Bill, and he moves in for the attack.
Maple uses lateral movement and an up-stun block, freezing Bill. He then gets in a fast down stab, stunning Bill, and kicks him, as Bill has moved himself too close, finishing Bill with an up left side swing.

5. The next duel starts at 0.40, with both Bill and Maple holding up attacks just out of range.

6. At 0.48, Maple advances at Bill holding an up block, limiting the space in between them.
Understanding that his bait tactic worked last time, he spins around and even crouches, hoping to bait Bill into attacking his stun block.

7. At 1.12, Bill attacks his block, gets stunned, and then Maple does a fast down attack, stunning Bill again. Maple then repeats his kick to up left side swing again, getting the kill.

8. At 2.10, after some sporadic engagement, Bill holds an up block within range of a down right side stab from Maple, who uses lateral movement to get within range.

9. At 2.20, Maple uses the same lateral movement to get within range of an up right side swing, using Bill’s lateral movement against him.

10. At 2.51, Maple attempts the same stun block down stab kick up side swing sequence, but Bill engaged at a farther distance and avoid the stun.

11. At 3.03, Maple attempts to close the distance and do a fient, but Bill uses lateral movement in the form of a sidestep to attack Maple’s unprotected side.

12. At 3.21, Maple attempts to engage Bill in a down fient chamber war, but Bill chooses to use defensive and lateral movement to not engage, swinging an up stab around Maple before he can react and killing him.

13. Skipping to 5.38, Maple starts throwing bucking fients that change his attack direction and make it hard to predict where and what attack he will finish. He does these fients on Bill’s left side (this is the most common fient area.)

14. At 5.40, seeing that Maple is in the process of fienting, Bill attempts to use lateral movement to attack Maple’s unprotected side. However, Maple catches this down attack with a chamber and moves forward to stun Bill, getting the hit.

15. At 5.42, he throws a left side swing, hoping to delay the attack just long enough so that Bill drops his block.

16. At 6.26, after some sporadic engagement, Bill uses a fast lateral movement combined with a fast right to left up attack to attack Maple’s side.
Maple responds by blocking down, seeing Bill’s next attack.

17. Bill uses a long left to right down hold swing stab and Maple releases too early, giving Bill the kill.

18. At 6.59, Bill uses an up attack from range with a hook hold at the end. This attack appears to be straight on but is, at the last moment, jiggled in a hook shape, creating a split second hold that Maple mistimes.

19. Starting at 8.34, Maple uses a series of down fients, mimicking left to right side swings. At 8.37, Maple releases the attack and the timing of the side swing hits a retreating Bill.

20. At 9.27, Bill uses lateral movement and a right to left up attack to hit Maples unprotected side.

21. At 10.40, Maple throws a kick which immobilizes him. Bill responds with lateral movement to get around to Maple’s unprotected back and hits him with a right to left up attack.

22. At 11.37, Maple uses a down fient coupled with a series of dolphins against a retreating Bill. Bill releases his block, believing to be out of range, and Maple releases the fient and uses aggressive movement and a centre stab to get the kill.

The second and final duel to breakdown is the quarter finals of an EU duel tournament, being Xeon vs Alexandre_Mormon of the 17e, whom I cannot identify (highlighting the absurdity of historical names quite well, I think). It can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NrN5N8V8ms&t=1072s&list=WL&index=5

1. At 18.24, Xeon attempts at left to right side swing stab. This stab was textbook and Xeon executed it perfectly, finishing on the right side of the opponent, shown in this screengrab. https://gyazo.com/03e14a9b53005424aa78f9c13e76ab9d

2. At 18.25, Alexandre tries the same stab, left to right side sweep motion. This attack is also textbook, and finishes in the same place. However, Xeon used left lateral movement and blocked the stab while moving to the opponent's side.
This movement reaction placed Xeon in the perfect position, close enough to force a panicked reaction but far enough to avoid a glance. At 18.27, he does a left to right up side swing that Alexandre sideblocks.

3. At 18.34, Xeon pulls off an incredibly hard down swing. He starts the motion as a left side swing, but in one quick motion drags the attack through the space between the duelists and performs a right to left side swing. These two holds are in one single down attack. It can be visualised as a sideways Z motion. Alexandre dropped his block due to the trickiness of the attack.

4. At 18.53, Xeon does an incredibly fast series of movements that results in a kill. Alexandre throws a down attack, which, in the span of 1 second, Xeon chambers, kicks, and kills him with the stun chamber. This is insane. Xeon manages to time the kick perfectly just after getting the chamber and just has to carry the chamber into the stunned Alexandre.

5. At 19,06, Xeon uses a left side swing, but varies the hold length by using attack height instead of placement. He swings to the left of Alexandre but aims his attack at a 45 degree angle towards the ground, at the last second swinging it up. This delay caused by usage of vertical attack movement causes Alexandre to drop his block. This attack hold can be done ranging up as well, something that was introduced to NA by RitZ.

6. At 19.24, Xeon uses a dolphin style hold aimed down and left of Alexandre. He does one dolphin wiggle and then carries his attack to the right and up, finishing in Alexandre’s midsection. The combination of a dolphin, which delays the attack, and the vertical attack movement causes Alexandre to drop his block early.
At 19.57, Xeon uses a turkish kick to block Alexandre’s attack, kick stun him, and uses a nice down attack to kill him.

Chapter Three: Groupfighting

Spoiler

The first essential point to bring up when discussing groupfighting is the age old debate between dueling and groupfighting, and which is harder. While my position is clear, this (to my knowledge) is my full reasoning behind it.

Basically, melee in its core is about analysis. At all times and in all situations you are analyzing your opponent generally, the state of the combat and your skills relative to your opponent. Breaking it down into different steps as thoroughly as possible, it seems clear that groupfighting requires more levels of analysis in a shorter or similar period of time. Obviously stating a position before I attempt to objectively prove my opinion is intellectually weak - so, if you disagree with my breakdown of melee analysis I'm happy to entertain changes to this.

In duels, the analysis is three steps:
1. Opponents tendencies
2. Duel flow and
3. Opponents weaknesses.
You evaluate your opponents style and what he is most likely to rely on or use, basically attempting some sort of prediction. You evaluate the progression of the duel and whether you need to change anything, and finally you attempt to target your opponents weaknesses.

In groupfighting, there are five steps in your analysis:
1. Position of enemy in accordance with teammates/position of your teammates
2. Vulnerability of opponent
3. Probability of kill
4. Chance of survival
5. Necessity of action
First, you assess the positions of your enemies and teammates and then react accordingly. Then, you identify a player and assess his vulnerability. You weigh your chances of killing that opponent - if it's probable that you'll be able to kill the enemy and survive. Then, after you decide all of this, you check whether your action is necessary.

Therefore, it seems to me like groupfighting requires more thinking and decision making than dueling, and hence is harder.

Now, there are many different groupfighting situations, with each having complex flowcharts of theory behind them. Every situation is different and calls for a different approach, and that doesn't even take into account the multiple different ways of entering groupfights, or positioning tactics. This is where experience comes in - some groupfighting theory can be taught, but most is developed from hours of competitive groupfighting.

Increasingly in the NA community basic groupfighting knowledge like how to play a 2v1 or 1v2 seems to be severely lacking - so, I will explain the theory and flowcharts behind these situations in detail.

1v2

Firstly, and most importantly, know your goal: can your teammates assist you? Is your team winning?
If your team is winning or is even, wait. If your team is losing, fight. However, if you are waiting, ensure your opponents cannot switch off of you back to the main melee - this changes the dynamic from you pulling a 1v2 to them pulling off 1 and forcing your teammates to be more aware than necessary.

Keys to winning 1v2s:

A) Choose your distance carefully. You don't want to be in stabbing range of both bayonets. Either be at a distance out of range of both, or so close that the chance of glancing/missing is increased, or be at a distance where only one opponent's bayonet is in range.

B) Never lose initiative. Don't give the two players the freedom to attack. Make it so the two players are either out of range or not able to freely drop their block.

C) Be unpredictable. Don't repeat moves, change things up, and don't get tunnel visioned on one person.

2v1

Once again, know your goal: Unless attempting to up/down opens you up to being potentially back/sidestabed from elsewhere, your goal in a 2v1 should always be to get the kill. However, if you're in a 2v1 and you have teammates inbound to assist, wait. The most major key in 2v1 situations, especially when you're the last two alive, is to prioritize your life even if the opportunity is missed - if you both stay alive, you have innumerable chances to kill your opponent. However, do maintain some sort of aggression, just be careful/

Keys to winning a 2v1

A) Be patient. You have the advantage (at that moment, at least) and as such you have the ability to wait him out. Avoid spamming if possible - use holds to better set up kills.

B) Stick together with your teammate. Giving your opponent two 1v1s throws away your advantage. You want to be close enough together that you're able to, worst case scenario, trade, but best case up/down. If approaching side by side, make sure there's less than one man spacing between you.

C) Avoid teamkilling. The best way to do this is using your time - only stab when your chances of hitting your teammate are slim to none. If a situation arises where the opponent is blocked by your teammate, and you need to hit to kill him, but would only hit your teammate, don't swing. Preserve your life - chances are, the enemy will take advantage of your teamkilling.

D) Communicate. Whether it be verbal or non-verbal, give your teammate some signal to your movements and intentions. Example: you approach a 1v1 and find your teammate holding a down attack. Without having to ask/say anything, either approach with or intend to come in doing up attacks. Likewise, if you notice your teammate repeatedly throwing up attacks at someone's block, prepare to help them with a down attack. Watch their movements and timings, and if you notice your teammate preparing to throw an up attack or block, throw a down attack at the same time. Pay attention to your teammates tendencies as best as possible - however, if your teammate gets himself in a situation where either a) it's not possible or b) probable to support him, preserve your own life.

General Groupfighting rules for every situation:

1. Don't over agress/over defend. Be aggressive when the chance of getting a kill outweighs the chance of death. Don't be defensive to the point of uselessness.

2. Make things easy for your teammates. No one can mind read - make your actions/intentions clear to your teammates if you expect support. Make sure to be aware of where your teammates are.

3. Don't save those who can't be saved. If you see your teammate in a 1v5, leave him to die. Chances are, his sacrifice gives the team an advantage, and if you try to save him and die too, that advantage is less relevant. Likewise, if you see a teammate plunge into the enemy line, let him die. His sacrifice does no good, and adding your name to that list does less good.

Chapter Four: The Best Groupfighters

Spoiler

With the LG era being finally over the time is ripe for the completion of the book, in the form of the top 10 groupfighters in NA history.

Top 10 Groupfighters:

Number 9 and 10: Since groupfighting is, in essence, about the team and not the individual, it is fitting to name the third best groupfighting pair in NA history: Fireboy and 5hine.
Although individually neither player had dueling success or reached levels seen by the other names on this list, the close friendship between these two players blossomed into an incredibly strong groupfighting duo. Seemingly without communication the pair led
by Fireboy were always positioned correctly in relation to each other and made plays together that showcased the incredible chemistry. There were only two other 2v2 pairs to ever play that played as seamlessly and strongly as these two, and while 5hine was comparably weaker in comparison to others on this list, the level of groupfighting success he enjoyed with Fireboy gives this partnership reason to be in the top 10.

Number 8: Chev
The best pure spammer to ever play, and the best movement ever showcased in game lead to the groupfighting success of Chev. He was a bit before my time but I still was able to see a
lot of him play, and to this day his style of pure movement spam, while still managing to play a complete game, is unmatched. Chev played differently, and played contrary to the meta of every era he was in, and yet was a force to be reckoned with in any groupfighting situation. Having a unique style of play most often helps in duels, and often unique players have to adapt their styles in groupfighting situations, but Chev was able to maintain his style while being a truly great groupfighter, and thus receives number 8 in the top 10.

Number 7: Mang
While many believe he was a ping crutcher and while he was the original troll, his mastery of spins, spams, chambers, movement, and blocking made him a truly dominant force. From clutching 1v10's in NWL matches to winning seemingly every clutch he was ever in, Mang was at times unkillable. There is no one better at clutches in the history of the game, and is the person anyone could ever want
in a 1vx situation. Mang's brilliance and dominance in this area could have been combined with mediocre teamwork and line movements, but because his teamwork was awful and he never fit in a team situation, he ranks well below where he could, at number 7.

Number 6: Coconut
Coconut is the NA historian and preserver of memory for everything related to NA NW. His impact on Warband as a whole is unparalleled, but an often understated aspect of him which makes him truly great is his incredible intellectual brilliance. Coconut knew everything there was to know about melee, one of three players all time to possess this type of understanding, and unlike one out of those three he truly applied it. In any tense or panicky situation Coconut's brilliance, calm and poise meant he almost never made a mistake. Coconut's technical skill was merely above average, but his understanding of the flow of the game is unmatched,
and while there were players who were better at the mechanical aspect, Coconut played chess while they played checkers. So, for his brilliance, mastery and wisdom combined with his near perfect application Coconut slots into the list at number 6.

Number 5: RussianFury
Consistently above average, RussianFury broke through the skill ceiling that every player faces at the time of their supposed peak. Starting in 2016 and lasting until the present day, RussianFury achieved a dominance in the groupfighting sphere the level of which is unmatched by any. Many players enjoy streaks of near dominance, but RussianFury managed to find a consistency in dominance that trancends any other, often appearing to be on a level above any other player in the server. Seemingly with minimal effort Russian destroyed entire teams, and even though he became targetted and planned against the likes of which has never been seen, he still managed to put up ridiculously high levels of dominance. For the last year and a half you would be hardpressed to find a better player in the server than RussianFury, and while the era adjusted scores would perhaps dampen his levels of dominance, the consistent nature of this unparalled level elevates him to the 5th spot all time.

Numbers 4 and 3: Who and Ghost
The second best groupfighting duo ever, these two players combined incredible technical skill and unmatched game sense to become a dominant pairing in an already skilled era. Ghost remained behind Coconut in terms of game knowledge and melee understanding, but is the next most brilliant. His knowledge was incredible, and it is clear he thought the game on levels only a select few would ever do. Combined with his excellent technical skills and mastery of chambers and positioning, Ghost would be a dominant force with any partner. However, he was complimented by the second best support player of all time, Who. Who combined excellent technical skills, sufficient knowledge and incredible teamplay to give this duo the success they had. If assists were to be counted in NW, Who would have the second most, as his selfless teamplay and understanding of how to create opportunities for his teammates raised the level of results from merely abouve average to truly great. For these reasons, Who and Ghost are numbers 4 and 3 on the list.

Numbers 2 and 1: Zzehth and Jackie
In what comes as a surpise to no one, the best 2v2 team ever are the two greatest groupfighters of all time. Zzehth's incredible game knowledge, battlefield awareness, technical skill, teamplay, and melee understanding gave him all the tools required to be
the most consistent teammate anyone could ever harevolutionizedtionzed groupfighting and taught directly or indirectly the ins and outs of teamwork to a plethora of players. His partnership with JackieChan, who is simply the most technically skilled player to ever play,
was dominant, running rampant through anyone who challenged them. Martial Arts Experts combined effortless teamplay and coordination, almost always uncommunicated, with incredible technical mastery to make them the best groupfighters who ever played. They dismantled teams together, often with unbelieveable team and individual plays, and always seemed to know exactly what the other player was doing. This level of coordination applied not only to MAE, but also to others around them, as the two either working together or in different spots were ableto elevate the play of their entire team. In the most competitive era they achieved greatness that was truly outmatched, and therefore Zzehth and Jackie are numbers 2 and 1 on the top 10 list.

Chapter Five: Groupfighting team construction

Spoiler

What're the most important things to have in a winning groupfighting team? Usually people answer that chemistry is important, and that getting on the same page teamplay-wise is integral. And while this is all true, in considering why teams have failed, a lot of it can be traced back to the wrong mix of playstyles. So lets think about playstyles - how can we group players together to analyze team structure and roles? Here's my stab at it:

Playstyle Explainer and breakdown

And here's where I think the players in the 2nd season of NWCL fit:

Who fits where and by team

(https://i.gyazo.com/e27486173327d6e334d3beb1565ce87a.png)

[close]

So what's the best way to build? What have teams looked like in the past from this perspective? I looked at the previous winners in the BO3 system:

Winning teams by style

(https://i.gyazo.com/c294c0af820710f0aa0803b1ed5c0a91.png)

[close]

So what's in common? First, 3/5 only had 1 dynamo, while 2/5 had 2. Usually the dynamo is your star player and playdriver, so it makes sense that there should be max 2 per team. Making sure that chemistry between these two is strong seems important as well - both examples of double dynamos involve players with significant history and chemistry in personality and gameplay.

The importance of the edge specialist cannot be understated, and it's not a surprise that these players are often repeat winners - solid players who won't make errors, will either win or nullify an engagement, and who can be safely forgotten about seems to be a key factor in winning. At least 1 ES per team seems like an essential.

4/5 of these teams had 1 risk taker, and it could be argued that TR Camden was in that category at that point. The dynamo is going to be making the right plays, and pairing that with a wild card risk taker seems like a must have for successul teams.

Finally, methodicals are heavily represented within these winning teams. The two teams that only had 1 had either an extra dynamo or an extra ES - and both of these makeups had pre-established chemistry. Two teams won with 3 methodicals, emphasizing their importance, and Strykeforce made up for the lack of a methodical with an extra dynamo and 3 edge specialists.

So why aren't there EU structuralists or switch farmers in there? Well, for the EUS it's a matter of timeline - this groupfighting philosophy is a more recent import, driven by Mikey and Anthony, and it remains to be seen whether a) this pool expands and b) the idea finds success.

For the switch farmers, the effectiveness of this playstyle in competitive play is somewhat reduced due to the smaller numbers. In bigger numbers groupfighting switch farmers have more room to thrive; however, in 6v6 or 5v5 this style can only go so far.

All that said, it seems that to build a winning groupfighting team you need to have:

5v5:
1 dynamo
1 risk taker
1 or 2 methodicals
1 or 2 edge specialists

6v6:
1 dynamos
1 risk taker
2 methodicals
2 edge specialists

We'll see if the winning team in NWCL season 2 follows this structure!

Postscript: The Problem with Lists

Spoiler

Why lists are always going to be flawed: a breakdown

Another day, another list that people find flaws in. Perhaps the most consistent aspect of melee lists is the varied nature of rankings - and the disagreement that will always come with it. The most likely scenario, then is not that we merely need to find the right rankings, or assuming that there is a “right” rankings. Instead, it’s that melee lists will always be controversial and flawed for at least 5 reasons:

1. The impact of a frag
2. The intangibles - IQ, teamplay, communication
3. External stressors
4. Technical limitations
5. Lack of statistics beyond KD’s

   Frag impact: It is often, but not always the case, that first picks in groupfights are important and impactful frags. It is often the case, too, that getting two kills in a 1v5 but losing the clutch is not an example of useful or impactful frags. As well, fragging fluctuates based upon where you are in the groupfight, who you’re with, and the quality of the opposite team. Importantly, none of these are factored into groupfighting rankings! How much of anyone’s kills are impactful? If that question can’t be answered, then the only quantifiable variable that can be taken into account is itself not even as solid of a measure of rating as it often is taken as.

   How do you measure someone’s groupfighting IQ against another person? How do you rank teamplay between players? How important is the quality of communication impactful or measureable? None of these factors are (yet!) measurable, and yet supposedly are taken into account when discussing rating. One of groupfighting’s most important tenants, awareness, is not something that you can measure or statistically analyze in any meaningful way, so to assign a number to someone’s groupfighting skill without being able to assign a number to someone's groupfighting awareness is deeply problematic.

   Ever had cold fingers or stress affect gameplay? How about being yelled at by a family member? If the effect on performance in more commonplace activities can’t be accurately measured by scientists, how is it even remotely possible to have any sense on how external stressors affect NW gameplay? It seems like a significant variable to control for, but since it can’t even be calculated, it certainly can’t be controlled for.

   There has been many documented cases of increased fps or a better computer having a positive on gameplay, but there has also been cases of players overcoming technical limitation. So, how much does this variable factor into melee rankings? I certainly can’t tell you.

   Often people gripe about the possibility of assists being calculated in NW. That highlights an important problem - only two statistics are measured by the game: kills and deaths. Somehow list makers extrapolate many different statistics (usefulness, tactics, etc) from a game that only calculates kills and deaths. Perhaps a reason why lists vary between people is that they all use different criteria, and none of them have an agreed upon statistical footing. Until stats like KAST, RWS or something to that affect are able to calculated in NW, getting a picture of a players impact is going to be purely a personal opinion.

   In conclusion, lists are bunk, and we really should stop this charade that lists are realistic in any way.

However, I will take time to recognize five players who I played with and against that I could never figure out and who, frankly, I could never, or at least rarely, beat. Those names will be released with the second round of profiles.

Seeing as Maccle thinks (and I quote) that "the people that still spend their time on fse have taken in too much autism" i'm doing him a favor and banning him from this thread and removing him from the chapter. If you use my book as a tool to enhance your already shattered epeen you don't belong in it.

It's titled "moves" but unfortunately it's more basic than that. It's basically how to break down melee. You'll see!

Alexandre is scottish Mike 17e veteran.

Book review:

10/10

I couldn't rate the first chapter of the book since I don't know NA melee community, which to be honest I'm not missing on much (expect from import Jackie and crazy mexican Zzehth). But on to review of second chapter.
In second chapter Theodin serves us Canadian masterpiece of a melee analysis, there has been seen absolutely nothing like that in NA, only thing comparable is JackieChan's melee guide which is bread and butter of melee theory. In first part he represents types of movement in melee. With help of which he explains key movements in two duel examples.
As fan of both Evanovic and Xeon I would love to see him explain the grand final between them, as they are in my opinion two best meleers of Napoleonic Wars. Evanovic know for his consistancy and patience and Xeon for mastering every melee technique with ping of 75.
I am looking forward to 3rd chapter.

Kind regards,
McPero

Post by: MATT123456789 on June 15, 2017, 10:25:30 pm

5/10 guide, really only giving you the 5 because of the effort and amount you have written.

Chapter one, I'd say about 40 percent of that you got wrong about the players play styles and how to counter them.

But Chapter two is just absolutely terrible and teaches practically nothing of value.

You taught one type of attack, the sweep stab, and didn't talk about block chambers, feint-chambers, stun-chambers, feint-attacks, down spam, up spam, range spam, footlance, or holds.

With the movement section you are vague, and don't include how to stun the opponent longer, or how to lessen the stun from attacking, which, are the two most important things in high level duels.

No section on baiting, which is everything in high level duels, but seeing as how you are a mid tier duelist you wouldn't know anything about that.

No section on kicking.

No section on feinting.

You didn't explain stab damage in relation to distance.

Didn't explain glances.

Somewhat explained sidestepping, but you didn't explain that you had to be positioned on the opponents shoulder, before you start the side step, or how the opponent has to be either W keying into you, or holding the same key as the one that you are using to side step, so If I'm using the D key to sidestep, they would have to be holding the W key or the D key, and if they are using the A key, I can't sidestep, because they will be blocking me off.

I hope your groupfighting section is pretty good, since you are a pretty good gf'er

Thanks for the feedback - however, I would note that some of the criticisms you listed are inaccurate, e.g - stab damage is not affected by distance (to a certain degree) but by stab type and movement.
I appreciate the feedback - I made my criteria a bit too wide with chapter two, so I may add a chapter 4 going a bit more in depth. :D

I'll make chapter 4 because by how you duel, you don't utilize any attacks other than side sweeps and side step down spam. And you will not be teaching something you know about.

Feel free to make your own book! I think it's an awesome project to do. However, all the work for mine will be solely my work.
Also, I'm very interested in your assessments, chapter one-esque, if you release them.

I can go into detail about 3v2's, but, like, what's the relevancy? and how much do I even write? So, instead of me taking wild stabs and hoping you like it, you're going to tell me what to write - as in, you ask me questions. From today till July 1st send me questions by any form of communication about melee, and i'll go reaaalllll in deep with them, and release the answers as a sub chapter on July 6th. Or if that's not a thing people want i'll just go to chapter 4 which was my all time all star team I think

From today till July 1st send me questions by any form of communication about melee, and i'll go reaaalllll in deep with them, and release the answers as a sub chapter on July 6th. Or if that's not a thing people want i'll just go to chapter 4 which was my all time all star team I think

I do recall a regiment (79th?) losing 5-0 during a NWL match. Mang showed up shortly after and managed to make it 6-4 with around 20 kills. I guess his individual skill was so high that the mediocre teamwork never really weighed him down.

Yup we were a group of underdogs that beat teams with stacked rosters such as MAE, no one expected a team of plg and 63e to do anything

That’s something I didn’t know, but it makes a lot of sense... I remember you telling me once that you didn’t want to have to use fancy shit to win, just the “basics” at a high level

My review:

Okay before I get started I have to say I personally hesitated a lot before reading this list. I had heard too many bad reviews and was weary of the author’s fetish for good group fighters. I feel this list was comprised of all high tier meleers, and not the glorious leaders of nw. I think because of this the list as a whole lacks cohesion. To end my review I leave you with a quote: “Some men get the world, some men get ex-hookers and a trip to Arizona. You’re in with the former, but my God I don’t envy the blood on your conscience.” - L.A. Confidential, James Ellroy

Decided to finally read this after finding it in storage while cleaning the garage. Very solid and the writing prose is reminiscent of Tolstoy and Aligheri. I gave it a 8 on Goodreads. Would recommend as essential reading for students 8th grade and above. Do you think you could follow up with in-depth perspective on groupfighting-line movements and the possible link between up-down timing and age differences among competitive players?

Cwater, Anthony, Rune, myself? There’s more than just them two, but they deserve it.

Also, I’m willing to say top players from 2012-2014 are different from top players 2020. I just think it’s best to separate the top players from each generation because let’s be real.. they’re all pretty different skill wise.

Ain’t no disrespect to Chev. He was my biggest influence in terms of play style. But the Yosh man and Jaax have been absolutely dominant in the past 3-4 years. And with such a steep learning curve too.

If I were to update this.. I’d replace Chev and Coconut with Yoshie and Jaax. In the relatively short span of time they’ve been around they have both dominated and innovated. Both are top 10 all time for me
The disrespect on Chev is unreal
Ain’t no disrespect to Chev. He was my biggest influence in terms of play style. But the Yosh man and Jaax have been absolutely dominant in the past 3-4 years. And with such a steep learning curve too.

So we ain't gonna act like people can live longer now then back then because of tanking?

Ever heard of WAR?

Wins Above Replacement (WAR) is a stat used in Baseball and Basketball to measure how many "wins" a team would have with a player opposed to another player at replacement level. Often players are judged by their KDs to evaluate impact, but I believe that KD is just one factor in total impact - and so I considered combining other statistical elements to see whether players were being valued fairly through the stats combined.

The methodology is simple - thanks to Waste's leaderboards that track KD, First Bloods and Score we have three separate but equally important statistics on which to measure players.

Take a statline like Risk's, for example, and calculate his WAR:

(https://i.gyazo.com/a2d09d3948fd6fa74ca30924ff5272e4.png)

A 1.13 KDR, 1.10 First Bloods Ratio (FBR), and 215.4 score. So let's multiply them all together - 215.4*1.13*1.10 = 267.74. We could end here, but we'd be working with some pretty hefty numbers, and WAR is usually expressed as a number between 0-10. So to get those big numbers down to numbers we can work with in terms of WAR we divide the final total - 267.75 - by the number of players who've played in a match this season, which is 64. This (267.74/64) brings us down to a manageable 4.2.

Waste has done all the calculations for everyone who has played in James's 6v6 draft league - leaderboards can be found here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/126MEC6cuKN9CaCkfjJin-GVa5fqgj-dlDNotxxLJMpE/edit#gid=586549428) - and found the averages over the league as a reference: so far in James's 6v6, the average KDR is 0.98, the average FBR is 0.94, and the average Score is 110.1. This would lead to a league average WAR of 1.58.

Now how do we apply that in terms of scale? Well, this chart identifies the classification of players' WAR scores in Baseball - but I think the ranges vary a bit in NW.

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/97e05029efc88a1c3ca26daea68fb436.png)

[close]

I think of NWs ranges as
0-1 Replacement level
1-2 Utility Player
2-4 Average Starter
4-6 All-Star Level Player
6+ Superstar/MVP caliber

Waste's leaderboards has everyone's WAR scores so far under the Matches tab and the next post will be screenshots of the scores sorted from top to bottom. Lemme know what you think about NW Wins Above Replacement!

As a long term project I'm going to find the WAR from previous seasons of draft leagues that were 5v5+ and had the BO3 system to create one big bank for WAR scores. So if you happen to have any leaderboards that Waste doesn't pls lemme know!

Thanks to Waste and Russian for the help with this one - and especially to Waste for his stats and spreadsheets!

Ever heard of WAR?

Wins Above Replacement (WAR) is a stat used in Baseball and Basketball to measure how many "wins" a team would have with a player opposed to another player at replacement level. Often players are judged by their KDs to evaluate impact, but I believe that KD is just one factor in total impact - and so I considered combining other statistical elements to see whether players were being valued fairly through the stats combined.

The methodology is simple - thanks to Waste's leaderboards that track KD, First Bloods and Score we have three separate but equally important statistics on which to measure players.

Take a statline like Risk's, for example, and calculate his WAR:

(https://i.gyazo.com/a2d09d3948fd6fa74ca30924ff5272e4.png)

A 1.13 KDR, 1.10 First Bloods Ratio (FBR), and 215.4 score. So let's multiply them all together - 215.4*1.13*1.10 = 267.74. We could end here, but we'd be working with some pretty hefty numbers, and WAR is usually expressed as a number between 0-10. So to get those big numbers down to numbers we can work with in terms of WAR we divide the final total - 267.75 - by the number of players who've played in a match this season, which is 64. This (267.74/64) brings us down to a manageable 4.2.

Waste has done all the calculations for everyone who has played in James's 6v6 draft league - leaderboards can be found here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/126MEC6cuKN9CaCkfjJin-GVa5fqgj-dlDNotxxLJMpE/edit#gid=586549428) - and found the averages over the league as a reference: so far in James's 6v6, the average KDR is 0.98, the average FBR is 0.94, and the average Score is 110.1. This would lead to a league average WAR of 1.58.

Now how do we apply that in terms of scale? Well, this chart identifies the classification of players' WAR scores in Baseball - but I think the ranges vary a bit in NW.

I think of NWs ranges as
0-1 Replacement level
1-2 Utility Player
2-4 Average Starter
4-6 All-Star Level Player
6+ Superstar/MVP caliber

Waste's leaderboards has everyone's WAR scores so far under the Matches tab and the next post will be screenshots of the scores sorted from top to bottom. Lemme know what you think about NW Wins Above Replacement!

Good idea but clearly needs more tuning I think we should take in consideration total matches played because the less matches you played the more skewed your numbers will be

Volume is an interesting wrinkle for this, as lower sample sizes can impact your score but in most cases volume is fairly equal

I think if you're going to try to make a value added stat as opposed to another rate stat, you have to figure out the value of a kill, a death and a teamkill. WAR in baseball sort of works because SABR has sat down and figured out how many runs an offensive has to score and how many runs a defense has to . . . not allow? . . . to win a game in a given run environment. SABR figures that, in a 5 run per game environment, a batter needs to produce an extra 10 runs to be worth an extra win. I don't think that's the case for the draft leagues since, unlike baseball, we know exactly how many "points" we need to score to win a single round. In the case of the current league, is 6. I don't think we can easily, with any certainty, accurately assess preventing enemy kills, primarily because we don't track rounds in which a player played and did not die. Even with kills, we can't really do what baseball WAR does, because it ultimately constructs a run expectancy for a plate appearance and assigns every possible outcome a run value. We can't really count opportunities, so we have to basically overvalue opportunities taken to compensate for undervaluing opportunities missed.

I would guess that to set the replacement level, you would have to decide how set a stat line of the supposed replacement player, compare the value of kills and deaths to that replacement player. Again, assessing opportunity is the problem. The closest I can come up with is deaths. That is, set the replacement player's deaths to the player you're evaluating and multiply that by the replacement K/D to get the replacement kills, and you can get teamkills the same way. It's not ideal mainly because it doesn't sufficiently reward players who don't die. It may also be that just guessing for rounds played would be sufficient, especially if nobody is interested outside of the top 15 or 20 players anyway, because the only way top players miss rounds is if they miss the match entirely or their internet cuts out.

I also have absolutely no idea how first bloods factor in, partly because they don't play nicely in the formulas I was fiddling with, and in part because, as far as I know, we don't actually know exactly how valuable a first blood is.

A couple of leagues ago, when I had log access, I was tempted to try to calculate situational win probability. In a 5v3, how often does the team with 5 alive win, and how often the team with 3? If we had win rates for all the permutations of a draft league match, we could calculate kill win probably added. It would just be a matter of giving credit for the change in win expectancy to whoever got the kill and subtracting the same from the player who died. Of course, it would substitute for WAA more than WAR, and I have no idea without trying whether it'd be easier to generate a replacement player for that sort of thing. You'd also get a nice statistical phenomenon where the league would have a negative WPA, because it's possible to cost your own team win expectancy without any player on the other team earning any.

I ended up not doing it because it would have required more set up work than I was prepared to do. Most of the counting could be automated pretty easily, but it still would require extensive log edits to get something to feed into whatever is doing the counting. The resulting stat would still have its problems as well. It would, for example, likely punish a player for after holding multiple enemies while his team came back from an early deficit and then dying compared to a player who, in the same scenario, died instantly. The benefit is that it would reward players who got kills in close rounds and situations more than players who stat padded at the ends of rounds.

How does CS calculate their player ratings? That would probably be a more accurate number

This rating was based on the number of kills per round, the survival rate of a player per round, and the amount of multikills a player got, which is known as the impact rating. The higher each of these values are, the higher rating a player would get.

That would be a lot of work

The first iteration of this was actually what you suggested - figuring out the average "replacement" level player and doing WAR minus average WAR. but you're right in all of this - in all of the conversations I had before or after releasing this the consistent topic has been that NW stats suffer from the fact that so little is actually tracked. I was actually thinking the other day about win probability stats, because that would certainly affect the value of a kill!

Also I have always been a vocal opponent of identifying true value with statistics in this game; it's on page 1!

kpr is easy, survival rate could actually be determined, and multikills could be too

If you participated in at least 3 of these 4 leagues - the last 6v6 League, NWCL, NWGL, and NWDL Season 3 - I've calculated your WAR for each of those seasons and your average stats, including your average WAR. I chose those leagues since they're the only BO3 leagues we did I think?

Screenshots of those average WAR scores are in this post. If you want your scores for those leagues lemme know and I'll get you the data! Also if I missed your name pls tell me so I can get it in there!

WAR was a fun attempt at a stat - but it had its issues. So here's the new and improved version:

Average Impact Rating

Two of the biggest issues with the WAR stat were 1) concerns about the effect of sample sizes and 2) dealing with the Score statistic in Waste's leaderboards. AIR deals with both of these problems. Here's how:

Take this hypothetical statline.

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/d1173eb8f3c99c9c3b48f57e50bded30.png)

[close]

AIR takes into consideration three things: KDR, FBR and TKs. The columns labeled ">" and "<" ask whether KDR is greater than FBR and whether FBR is greater than KDR respectively (which is why you can see the FALSE there, as FBR in this case is higher than KDR). Since in this case FBR is higher, the formula adds (FBR/10), which is 0.2, to the KDR - 0.84 + 0.2 = 1.04.

If it were the case that the FBR were lower than KDR, like in this case,

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/4ac9930caee5597f78a9e82ef06af29e.png)

[close]

then the formula would take away (FBR/10) from the KDR, which is 0.84 - 0.05 = 0.79.

The finishing calculation factors in TKs - it takes the amount of TKs, in this case 2, divides that by 100, and subtracts that from the previously calculated number - giving us a 1.02 for the first stat line presented and a 0.77 for the second.

So how does this solve the two issues with WAR? Well first of all, by dealing directly with ratios, amount doesn't matter - all that matters is the ratios. This solves the issue with sample sizes and removes the need for Score entirely! Since this is going to be used per match rather than per season it doesn't matter that some matches are longer than others - all that matters is the ratios put up within the rounds played.

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/f98f37e34a840bfeec80918452d14d8a.png)

[close]

How would this scale? Well, taking a random smattering of KDs and evaluating those numbers leads us to think that
0.79 or less is bad
0.8-1 is average
1-1.3 is above average
1.3-1.5 is spectacular
1.5+ is elite

I'll be doing those for each match during the season and periodically updating on neat trends and stuff. And I won't be the only one doing this for a stat - Russian is building a stat as well, which will also be revealed in due time!

Can you identify someones average impact rating not based off the total number of kills they have. For example, what is a players impact rating at a lower average of kills and deaths(less playtime). Calculating a stat for players who are not playing every single minute of a match, could be highly beneficial for a team captains ability to identify the most impactful players. That being said I know nothing about calculating these stats, I just find it as an interesting idea to implement.

Someone could do a plus minus system similar to what the NBA does.

Well two things - AIR is based off of the ratios not volume so less playing time shouldn’t theoretically affect stats that way. But also tonight you’ll see Russian’s stat which directly takes rounds played into effect!

So, Russian's stat! It's got a bit more math in it - but fans of volume-based metrics and FBR will love it.
It's called RPR - Russian's Player Ratings.

This is a screenshot of the doc with the first formula:

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/45e79df5b32c2918d0731a52acfef004.png)

[close]

The stat does (Kills-TKs-First Bloods) + First Bloods^1.5 / (Deaths-First Deaths) + First Deaths^1.5 to calculate IPR (Initial Player Rating). This is done with the idea in mind that First Bloods should be valued more than regular kills, and vice versa for First Deaths.

Now to add in rounds, the formula is

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/2af94925e7cc5a79c72a7be0c442602e.png)

[close]

Which is IPR / the square root of rounds played (in this case 91) *10.

So in this case the sheer volume of rounds played increased Risk's score by 0.06!

This stat would scale like this:
0.8 or less is bad
0.8-1 is below average
1-1.25 is average
1.25-1.5 is good
1.5+ is very good

Let's see these stats in action! Last night's League 2 match data has been released, so lets break down how people did!

AIR:

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/f62222a2f4d8b0ffd5aff8ae7eafd51d.png)

[close]

Scaled we have
0.79 or less is bad - Jolly, Cow and James had tough outings
0.8-1 is average - Dio's FBR brought him down a chunk
1-1.3 is above average - Copot and Wolfe had similar statlines, Killershark's FBR kept him in this category, Phil's great FBR night brings him up here
1.3-1.5 is spectacular - no spectacular performances last night
1.5+ is elite - Goomba and Antidote had elite nights, especially in first blood volume and ratio

I've also done AIR above Match AIR:

RPR:

Spoiler

(https://i.gyazo.com/0006e64d96929c61e717a262ec6f0ba0.png)

[close]

Scaled we have
0.8 or less is bad - Both stats reflect tough nights for Jols, James, Dio, and Cow
0.8-1 is below average - Phil's FBR can't save him from this as it does in AIR
1-1.25 is average - No average performances tonight
1.25-1.5 is good - Good performances from Copot, Wolfe, and the Shark
1.5+ is very good - Goomba and Antidote break the charts

Some thoughts:
- Phil's AIR shows why judging impact from KDR alone is not good - his 4-1 FDR score saved his rating
- We changed the *adjustment in RPR because league 2 round samples are small
- RPR rewards good performances and punishes bad ones, while AIR seems to be kinder
- Dio and Phil are the only ones who changed scaling groups between stats. In both cases it seems to be because their FBR was wildly different than their KDR

Anyways interesting, won't be as many comments in future weeks but I'll do this for every match!

Interesting thing happened with this one - Cwater didn't get killed first once, so his FBR is 8/0, which is not a real number! So he broke the AIR stat:

Here's a neat lil thing I drew up today - groupfighting playstyles across League 1! I don't know the secret to teambuilding for groupfighting leagues but I figure it has something to do with playstyles, so I broke them down into categories and then looked at it per team. Big disclaimer - this is an analysis of style, not of skill or performance! Please do not cry like a baby about someone who you think is trash in your category! I will physically hurt you if you do!

Logic:

An NW card game would put need to put heavy focus on board control along with reflecting the effect numbers have in battle compared to only having the strongest cards on the field (Beatsticks). This would allow a variety of play styles from both heavy impact melee decks and board flood “63e” token decks.

The follower types would have to be Officer, Duelist, and Groupfighter. Officers would focus on effects that manipulate your deck or other followers, while groupfighters would get stronger after relying on effects that work in tandem with eachother with lower costs to allow playing multiple in a turn. Duelist types would have higher base stats and single impact effects that don't focus much on teamwork.

Funny how my man Jackie gave props after our rivalry cooled down but his 71st flunkies like theodin wont

Instead of worrying about being on the top of a gf list how about u worry about being on the the top of some bitches lists
NGL i got like fihh, six bitches rn playboy im not one of you NW nerds

I bet you only got those bitches cause you told them you were a king
