    What I would really like to see for competitive play, and stop me if this would be too arduous but I'd like to see an overlay for spectators that contains information on each player. Like five boxes stacked on the left side of the screen and five on the right, one box for each player with their name, sprite (or even just head and class), health, coins, inventory, and current held item. Maybe even KD if there's still room in there. My mouse is a little busted atm but I could make a mockup later.

    I think this would be a huge boon to the watchability of KAG matches. Think of poker, it's decently entertaining to watch even if you aren't a big poker player, but imagine if you couldn't see what cards people had, or the pot odds. You would basically just be watching a bunch of guys sitting at a table until the cards are shown. If we could see player inventories it could be like "ooh does Grimm know Skinney is packing four bomb arrows?" or "Oh man JTG has got a water bomb, he could pop that whole crowd right now" and that way there's a lot of suspense added.

  2. verra is working on a super spectator mod. i actually more or less requested all the stuff you mentioned here. the difference being that those things will show up on hover/following player's camera instead of cluttering the stream



    all hail verra

    I think it would be better if at least some metrics are always visible, like in Starcraft where you can bring up overlays for production and stuff. You can't see enough with only one player at a time.

  5. Going aboard Contrary's idea, it could be something like the factories on TTH, with the little indication of what is being used by whom, that way I think the screen would look a little more "clean". I don't know, brainstorming here.

    And by the way just watched Moire vs Grimm, great match from both sides, I jumped on the chair more than once and it wasn't even my House playing.

    I agree it'd be better to have the stuff onscreen at all times like the player stats up top in SC streams, perhaps toggleable off for when you want to zoom in on a melee and need every pixel of the screen. Glad Verra's working on stuff like that, but either way it's certainly do-able (the HUD is just a script doing this for your player at the bottom of the screen)

    Update for painstruck viewers of the Moire v Grimm match: after literal minutes of intense and humiliating practice I can now double slash jump.

    Feel free to cite this emotional personal journey in any CotSK promotional material.

    So, what does it look like, because you can't slash at any part of the jump without diminishing it, set aside at the apex.
    Double slashing at the apex doesn't help, it sends you downwards.

    You using a slash to get air when jumping in open water? The second slash just makes you hover slightly.

    no its on a wall, if you use a double slash on a wall to jump up it you can scale 10 blocks.

    I like that there was a miscommunication between me and Spidey.

    It's not that I wake up at 5, his time, I wake up at 5pm his time, as in 17 his time.
     
  17. Well, good luck for today Nodin!

    I'm giving House Antionaco odds of 2:1 to win. Nodin have no effective hard counter to Metaphoenix, but if they work together, make good use of water bombs and have a solid defence they might neuter him, but all this is very risky so I'm giving House Nodin odds of 8:1.
