I've played with him before too, and I swear I've seen a Bobby post on the forums, forget where/when though.

He posted a nice video featuring himself in a MadCat and SA_UrbanJungle, IIRC.

If it's the same Bobby i'm thinking of then yes he's right up there with the rest of vets.  To bad more of those guys don't post on the boards too.

Yeah, Bobby is ridiculously good.  I was playing Sandblasted on his team last night and we were both in Shadowcat A's rushing together.
I love running around in the same mech as someone else, it's so easy to time strikes.
He ran up a score like 17-3 just in a Shadowcat at the end of the game.

We were both after Mechman who was in the pulse laser Thanatos and could never get him.  We spent the whole map going after him. Every time we went after him, he would rtb really fast or behind a wall of warhammers and catapults.  And when Bobby and I were damaged quite a bit, he would chase us across the map with the Thanatos' speed.  Just as I thought I had made it to base, I got hammered from the back by Mechman and promptly exploded.

At 6 seconds left and with all 3 torsos in the red, I finally took out Mechman with a well-placed UAC20 shot. HUZZAH!!!
LOL, yes, Bobby is damn good. We managed to shut him down on inferno though.  That's probably why he went all rape on us in Sand Blasted. He does post here from time to time. He has an Urban Jungle video that is very good. He needs to make more videos. ;) SSRM Vulture can kill a lot of things but, not a Mauler C and a pilot with aim. It helps that the Mauler doesn't rock and roll quite as much as the lighter mechs when taking missile fire.

Lot's of good players on recently.

What is this 'The Search for Bobby Fisher', or something? ;)


OT:  I am always amazed at ppls ability to get in your blindspot and stay there.  I can't think of anybody off the bat, but lately games are soo chaotic, that i can't tell if ppl are good at anything,  its like a demolition derby out there. 

have fun out there kids...

I suck!! But WE are AWESOME.  We started a unit.  What's that?!  YOU WANNA TOUCH MY UNIT?!! :P ^^12thVR Recruitment Page(clickthepic) ;)

Andreas and Tanki are good players. They're both good players in other ways too, helpful with the cash and such.

Whenever they're on I tag up with them in Shadowcats. 3 awesome Scat pilots, the enemy just folds :D

Never seen Bobby though.

Bobby is very good when I've been on (unfortunately not often recently).  Tanki is my favorite though - good and has a sense of humor - a sadly rare combination in many matches.....

Roll a Thanatos and you have no blind spot. 360 torso twist for the win. I agree though, some people are very good at using speed to their advantage. You can't really blame them when they are out gunned and armored.

A trick that can help you against the faster ones. Just when they begin to circle behind, hit the brake and then go full reverse throttle and turn the opposite direction. Before long, you'll find them right in your sights. If you're in a 360 mech then it doesn't really matter. This is good for those with limited torso twist like the madcat and the other assault and heavy mechs.

It's how we used to roll in the Bushy pre 0.3 when it turned like an oil tanker.
You kick it into reverse and let em have it :D

Still the way to go against some opposition.

I'd hate to play against you then, that guy is an insanely good tanker.

After last night's Shadowcat A duels with Davion Devil, I have much respect for his skillz.
