Equal skill?

[Elyk]

is there any tactics to usewhen your fighting someone of equal skill? (The one in particular is an aikido guy (Yea, I'm not). I can usually take him, but today it was a little harder. I don't really know if it was just a bad day, or he got better. little help? (And yes, the intimidatoin factor is DEFINATLY mine. )

The only thing I can think of is:

Get more skill. They have it on sale at Wal-Mart. It's only about a million bucks. Look in the camping section, next to the foam pads.

In all seriousness, though, isn't the point of equal skill that you have about a 50% chance of beating this person? If you had tactics that outclassed him or if you could waltz circles around him with one hand tied behind your back without taking a hit or dying occasionally, it wouldn't be equal skill any more.

Everyone has their on and off days. Figure out what didn't work for you and move on.

Especially in a small realm, it's going to be very important that your main focus is not just in improving your skills, but also theirs. If you teach those around you all of your techniques, tricks, etc, and increase their skill level to be equal to or better than you, it will force you to step up your game and increase your skills.

So with the Aikido guy, I would ask him what he's doing differently and have him give you pointers. The best fighters in the game are constantly picking up tips from other fighters and developing their styles.

wait until his back is turned then stick a knife in his kidneys.
this will induce bleeding and then they will be lethargic, slower, and weaker. this is how i have come to consistently beat zzyzzc he paid for all that * skill and i negated it with a 15 dollar knife i stole from hippy.

True, the only solace I have comes from the knowledge of the extra 'Sekret Ingredient' he gets in his drinks when he comes over to the house.

[Elyk]

Let's just say that Graavish get's plenty of protein and Vitamin Z in his diet. And Vitamin V. Also Vitamins S, K, M, I, and R. And even more sadly, also plenty of Vitamin G (we've been talking to him about that).

[Elyk]

Wow, I only get vitamns F, O, O, and D in my diet.

[Kage]

I always think of it as the other person just got better. It makes them feel better about doing well, and that they don't just suck, and plus it makes you work harder to be as good as you were the time before. Thus both people get improvement out of it.

[graavish]
