Thanks for this post and the effort you put into it. It's appreciated. I plan on labbing and testing the info out. I'd like to read more posts like yours. Mostly, I've been trying to find Kilik anomalies that work. My experience so far is that Kilik's MO hop is underutilized by many and opens...

This:

I was reading one of the latest issues of Gameinformer and they listed the best selling console games for 2011. In second place was Just Dance 3. SC is never going to have that type of broad appeal w/ females who spend money on gaming software but they definitely could have marketed this version...

When Xiba whiffs on 3kB and does that stutter step can you do another move (or another 3kB) before the stuttering animation finishes? I think you're able to, but I've only been able to play SCV so late at night when half-asleep that I'm not sure.

Well, Kilik has numerous options to keep an opponent from getting in your face. Some are: 22AB, 22_88 B, 2A+K, 2B, 2A, BPA, 22A,A, A+K, 4B When in your face these may work: 1K, A+K, Kb, 2k, 4B, Asura When grounded these help: WSK, WSB.

The OP's premise fixates upon differentiating between elite and mediocre but misses a self-evident point. What separates the two for the most part is dedication. Natural aptitude and experience comes into play but a dedicated player will rise above mediocrity. In application, his post misses the...

Regarding Algol and his bubble shield--it's difficult to generalize due to the variable height, speed and size of the bubbles, but I've found that at least with the more linear bubbles if you time the rising action of MO A+B, K so that you avoid his bubbles when rising up Kilik's bo, you often...

Guys, I feel your pain but even when you get older, you're still going to have to put up with this abuse. It's taken me a long time to feel comfortable with my body so when the summer comes I've earned the right to prance around in a Speedo displaying my luxurious mane of downy back hair. I...

I don't think the community here is elitist, but that it has a core group that takes the game very seriously. There's nothing wrong with that. After all look how obsessive some people are with their mmorpgs. It was foreseeable that with SCIV going online there was going to be a healthy rivalry...

Thanks to both of you--those are all good points and what I was looking for.

In the spirit of beating a dead horse, I think there's a difference between playing to improve and playing to win--though at some point in ones progression those two aspirations should start to conjoin. To posit that the stakes though are inconsequential to the mindset is bit abstract IMO. If...

IMO, unless you're making enough money from SC to pay the mortgage, place your kids in private school and vacation in the south of France Sir Loin's play to win ideology is meaningless. As for the OP, you've been playing this game for a long time without success and that means only one...

We all know that the above are noob tools but I need help in understanding whether they have any place in an experienced Kilik's player’s arsenal. I never use these moves b/c (a) Kilik has better ones than those and (b) it seems embarrassing to use them. In retrospect the latter doesn't seems...

When I was married (for 15 years) my X wasn't too keen on gaming, but then again she grew up in generation where women didn't commonly play videogames. After my divorce I met a girl 16 years younger than me and she's way more tolerant about gaming than my X was--totally different generation...

Oh the types of people we meet online, full of pathos and peculiarities. One type I occasionally bump into online I’ll dub the “White Knight”. It’s where some guy (who apparently lacks a RL girlfriend) chats it up w/ a particular chick in the room and adopts the mantle of becoming her...
