Thaago is mad because he is 30 years old and uses his 2 year associates degree to impress 12 year olds with his limitless knowledge of a free online video game. He can die too...By the way, ignorance is bliss you turd.

Playing with someone and we both have 2 cards left, they may have had a chance to win, but they're not taking their turns! Honestly, I wish some people would at least have the decency to forfeit if your going to leave.

...So i have this full-health Anex ready to finish off my rival´s last card at close range (an Ambrosia Thorn with 17 of health and 10 of energy with Necro Tomes). Anex kills her , but she revives with her tomes and stuns me three consecutive turns , stealing me +10 for each hit ! .
Cool thing is that , just at one hit to kill my stunned Anex , this guy just forfeits and lets me win!! Awesome pal , whatever your name was .

i think they are going to wait to fix the chat when they make a new version, with new cards. but that is IF they make new cards, and I don't see that happening anytime soon

Imo there should be implemented a new system: Everytime you leave a game without forfeiting, you not only get one loss, but also loose one win -.- Stupid n00b-cowards let me wait all over the time

I don't think luck vanishes ever... All it does though (over a prolonged period of time) is bring your win:loss closer to 1:1. It gives the worse player a slightly better chance of winning. The two vampiric items with a 30% to happen can change games if they work about 2/3 times in a row. But on average they don't.

Ok, well whatever anyone wants to think, it's undeniable that as skill rank increases, the importance of luck decreases. Luck may help you take down a SR 30 player once in a while, but depending on luck sure as hell won't keep your own skill rank over 30. At that point, more important factors kick in...

im pretty sure we're all over this discussion. id just like to add that i dont dismiss what anyone ive been arguing against has said, per se, just that i see luck as having a greater importance in playing the game than some of you do. i think i have a good enough reason to do so - i also can see your reasons to think otehrwise are justified.

its about seeing patterns and knowing your opponent. at higher levels you tend to play a lot of the same people over and over. at low levels where opponents play unpredictibly and sometimes flat out incorrectly, yes, then luck is more of a factor.

Yes, my situation is certainly oversimplified :( Real Kongai is much more complex, with energy and HP added to the mix. We also got our natural human tendencies that can be exploited. But despite all that, you can have probability heavily in your favor, and still lose. PS: How is switching out against Chi Blast not luck? Its coinflip... MLM 30 energy vs Higashi 80 energy. Far. MLM has 50% chance to die. If you switch out with MLM successfully, you got lucky.

Agreed with thaago; MathematicalPi, I'm not arguing against math.. I understand what a coin flip situation is. However, your stance only holds true if the opponent is a computer, generating completely "RANDOM", as thaago says, moves. Here, certainly, luck affects the choice of move, as well as in your rocks/paper/scissors example. In Kongai, when facing some actual opponent, choices are not made randomly. Using Twinge's example, switching out of a Chi Blast is not luck. Missing your Double Slash is luck. You are far more likely to win battles from consistently switching out of Chi Blasts rather than missing Double Slashes. This is why luck plays less of a part than anticipation.

MathematicalPi is both right and wrong. He is right in this aspect: If you are in a yomi situation that the game depends on, one player can FORCE it to be 50/50 luck by acting PURELY RANDOMLY. The opponent cannot read a random coin flip.
However, in this game I do not know any player that does this. If players are making the choice (cheating on the coin toss counts for this!) than the above argument falls apart.
Also: FreshSlice. Whenever you make a post like the one where you claim someone is wrong without actually saying why and then tell them to die, you only expose your own ignorance, no matter how smart you may be.

Luck plays a hige part in this game, I just fought a guy, of 8 attacks he played against my Ubuntu with the ilusive feather, he hit once.

Mathematical--you're wrong. You're not smart, and your wasting up good page space with your idiocy. If you knew anything about the game, you would understand the many facets the game (in regards to strategy, statistics and odds). Just because you named yourself "Mathematical" don't expect everyone to buy into to your extremely oversimplified scenario described below. To sum it up: Your an idiot, you sound stupid, and you should die.
