hi, i am the one who posted this map to epicwar
this version of the map was created in the very end of 2006 by in_bloom (from europe) but as u know the original version was made by japanese creators in 2003-04.
i'm really glad someone downloaded and enjoyed the map, since i am a great fan of this map, but in europe there're ~10 top level players (there's a community but noone knows about it
). And the level of the players in battle.net is very low... Most of them know nothing but C goal (and that's nothing).
2gan_ws. u say that the speed is slow. Did u choose proper stats? i mean, if u choose 10 str u will be much slower than if u choose 10 agility. in pro games i've only seen ppl taking 10 agility, since u can do really much with it. 10 str is taken for fun mostly
also, i wanted to mention that players who play this map for the 1st time make a common mistake - they think there're only these 4 actions (z -pass x - shoot, c,v) but i want to persuade u there's much more(try to make v+z for example). For example, this is the link to goal types classification from this map community site:
http://www.cymil.dk/kick/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=7&thread_id=5
In short, the game consists of defending/attacking, dribbling, players interaction, goal types etc. These are united by the 4 keys - z x c v, sometimes d key also
If anyone of you has any questions about the map/gameplay, i'd be really glad to answer them. Also, if u want i can give some replays of the pro european players.
