5th skill on fling?
Okay, was pretty sure I would put "sure feet" on this guy:

http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&player_id=8240891

But the skill-roll is double 6 :)

I'm leaning towards "block" to protect and keep TV down, But is it stupid to skull st3 on him? I can allways give him "sure feet" on his 6th skill soon :)

Have a nice weekend

Go for +ST. Too sweet to pass up.
Posted by Jeguan on 2011-12-10 00:40:08
It is sweet yeah :) But there's a lot of "block" in the league, and with st3, he will cost me 190.000 in tv. That's a lot to loose on a both-down result, requiring only av-roll 7 and inj-roll 7 (not counting mb)

Keep TV down as flings? Is that really an issue?

Ignore the TV for the moment. Block vs. +St comes down to which helps more in taking blocks, and in delivering blocks.

Taking blocks (assume the blitzer is a blackle).

Taking a 2d w/block gives them a 56% chance of landing a POW/DS, and getting you on the ground.

Taking a 1d w/o block gives them a 50% chance of landing a POW/DS/BD and taking you down.

Making blocks

Making a 1d with block gives you a 16% chance to land the POW (you don't have tackle) and a 33% to land a POW/BD (if the target lacks block).

Making a 2d w/o block gives you a 30% chance to land a POW.

On the other hand you have a 16% chance to skull on the 1d and an 11% chance to double skull/BD on the 2d.

So the +st is better in all scenarios save one (where your target lacks block).

All of the above assumes no RRs, but RRs just make the already better odds even better.

It's also somewhat of a stretch to say that +st turns all 2ds on him into 1ds, but it does force the opponent to otherwise use a guard or 2nd player for the assist, and it makes 3ds on you much less likely.

a 3d needing POW or DS succeeds ~70% of the time
a 2d needing POW/DS/BD succeeds 75% of the time.

so you decide, which you face more, 3ds or trying to make 1ds into 2ds.

seriously... not only do i think that st is better by a margin, but also would it be one of the lamest moves to not get a +st+ag+mv fling when you have the chance...

a chainsaw plus wrestle
Posted by spiro on 2011-12-10 01:36:00
if a chainsaw will fail then your fling can stop injury by strong wrestle arm.
Posted by pythrr on 2011-12-10 02:03:26
um

+ST

come on....
Posted by pythrr on 2011-12-10 02:05:14
spiro, I hate to tell you but...

[1] flings can't pick a chainsaw on a double 6

and

[2] there is no such thing as "strong wrestle arm".

Have you been on the cabbage vodka again?
Posted by Cavetroll on 2011-12-10 03:19:55
Moot bollocks!

Definitely go +ST
Posted by spinball on 2011-12-10 03:30:28
flings don't get 5 skills, but if they did, they would take +str
Posted by Marcellus on 2011-12-10 06:15:51
5 skill fling! Must be superfling +ST.
Posted by Jeguan on 2011-12-10 07:29:07
Okay okay, I get the point Licker :) I will not even try to argue against +st again. And yes, it would be pretty lame not to have a super-fling, just because I can...

By the way. This is only the second time I get a player to Super star status!! Last week I had a Vamp in the TT league who reached that status (pro, block, dodge, +ma and now sure hands)

Thanks

Getting a fling to superstar status is a really big deal! grats mate, and I'm glad you didn't turn down the +ST. Nuffle punishes such heresy.... :)
Posted by KhorneliusPraxx on 2011-12-10 16:49:46
Always, without exception, take +Str!!!
Posted by SvenS on 2011-12-10 19:56:39
Grats very cool! =)

A little paranoid of TV are we?

These are flings man....He will be dead in a few games either way you go...dont worry about it...+ST
Posted by Jeguan on 2011-12-10 21:44:16
Thanks guys

I'm paranoid of everything :)

But tv is a BIG deal when it comes to flings. It's very important to get inducements.

And he will die - AGAIN, apo allready saved him a few games ago from a drunk wizards spell :)

Strong wrestle arm! Mega bunker! Chainseers!
