antiaircraft Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 So: as most (or all) of you probably know, TNT drastically changed the Yooyuball format this year. To say that these changes have been controversial is a bit of an understatement. xD Being a five-year Altador Cup veteran by now (admittedly not a very good one), I wasn't really sure how I'd take to the new changes, but I decided it would be a fun idea to record my very first attempt at playing the new Yooyuball. Well, here's the recording. :) I'd like to think I didn't do too badly for a first-timer, but if you can put up with my bad narration, I suppose you can decide that for yourself. :P Anyway, enough preamble, on to the video. Happy watching! Edit: And just to be clear, this is in no way meant to be a tutorial. It's just me figuring out how to mash the spacebar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 That's good an' all, Theo, but the short and sweet version is here (credits to Nikello): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hah, YES, that was the most helpful out of all the guides I read before I actually tried playing. xD That guy is a great artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Haha indeed, and he's very accurate on how to play...sadly, that's what we're limited to with this now Yooyubad. Yes, Yooyubad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Sad indeed, but personally I don't think it's an absolutely catastrophic disaster. At least, for now I'm undecided personally (that's actually the only Yooyuball game I've had time to play, being in the middle of my exams and all). However, I did (characteristically) write a two-and-a-half thousand word exposition on the matter. I needed a break. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyxius_on Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 the changes make it easier for me to play lol. I actually won a game rofl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Trebond Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Of course Yooyuball is dangerous, they carry around little balls of fire and bombs some of the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 xD Yes that's true. I wasn't thinking straight at the time, I was too busy trying to figure out an evasive pattern that would actually work. :P One of TDN's reporters actually suffered a severe head injury from being hit by an Ice Yooyu a couple of years ago - those things are definitely dangerous.

barkie Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 That is way cool and so well drawn also. I am not sleeping at night now as my nerves are just shot to pieces worrying about making a fool of myself on the field, not to mention all those irate customers yelling for their slushies, but at least I won't have to wash too many glasses as they are all falling on the floor and smashing. :sad01_anim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classycc Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 You faired much better than I did on my first attempt! I still keep thinking I'm moving one player when another player is active. Oh well there is always SS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Thanks. xD I guess I kinda let the field turn into one giant mess and rolled with it - I have no idea how I managed to figure out which direction to move in half the time though. And I did shoot the Yooyu in the complete wrong direction three times or so. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua111 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yooyuball now has turned from a sport into a game for bullies. Or who else will get the idea to attack a goalie. Stealing the ball is still okay but not when the goalie just had caught it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicKeith Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This is the first year of the AC for me but i was told yu yoo ball was better last year :S i do find it a bit difficult though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voteforpedro333 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Great video. I watched it before my own first try, so let's see what happens. I know a couple of times last year the batteries in my mouse died during a game and the laptop mousepad is just not built for Yooyuball by mouse. I think what might bother me is the scrolling field. I think the full aerial view really worked to it's advantage since so much is moving on the field at once. Somewhat later: So I finally played. Got six goals but I only got one over the practice team. This will be a long fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks. xD Hopefully things will get a bit easier with the changes TNT plans to make soon. Yooyuball now has turned from a sport into a game for bullies. Or who else will get the idea to attack a goalie. Stealing the ball is still okay but not when the goalie just had caught it. Hey, at least most players are refraining from using benches and spears. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
