>watch some competitive fights from the various tournaments to get a feel for what's popular / effective. Helamasa is a good example of how to play a lightweight
Is this really the meta? Just over boost hit ans run away the entire time. That doesn't look fun at all.
Is it at all viable to engage in sustained fights how they were in ACV?
Over boost running away seems pretty lame and I can't see how anyone would enjoy that.
Ethan Collins
The main reason why no one does sustained fights is because everyone is now good enough to avoid being caught unaware.
You can do sustained fighting though, especially as a quad, and sniping is very common. That video is the meta for LIGHTWEIGHTS, but different frames have vastly different strategies.
Landon Fisher
Looks pretty boring compared to the fights in acv.
Daniel Perry
That's generally how 1v1s work.
But, then, ACV/D wasn't designed with 1v1 in mind. CQ/teamplay is a very different animal. A very different, very extinct animal.
