Who is the absolute best player in Worms history?
If u dont know, make a list with the
best; make a list with the best player in a specific scheme.
i’d rather say Mablak for his roping skills
and he is good in all schemes.
Go for it!

I have it on pretty solid authority that Mablak pads his spacebar. NOT that I intend to get into an argument about it.
Regardless, the best I've ever played with are LordHound and Snoop.
If I was to include word of mouth about oldschools I've never actually seen, I'd also cite Volrin and Wargod.
My choices are cheifly concerning Roperace. I consider it to be the most skilled game you can play. The above players were racing juggernauts, but admittedly they probably weren't more than decent at normalish stuff...But then, I've never come across anyone who was consistantly very good in that area. I think for most people, it would come down to roping to determine the best.

Yeah, i now that this thread may will be a bit fuzzy. To say who's the best player is like to argument which pizza is best. Fairly useless. But, what I thought of this thread was to see who gets the most "votes".
Roperace requires much skills and a skilled Roperacer knows exactly how to do the map for the best time. In Roperace, its not a easy choise who's the best. Mablak and Ryan are probaly gods. Az01 is good too.
It's not possible to be best in everything, so a list would be better; (note: this is what i've seen, i'm not the pro about clans and insane players)
Roperace (TTRR): Mablak and Ryan.
Elite: Impossible to say.
BnG: Twyrfher and Dark.
Shopper: I'd so Alien.
WxW Shopper: Zogger.
Super Sheep Race: Cueshark, easy choise.
Warmer: Zogger and Anubis.
Roper: Don't know any extraordinairy roper.
Maybe i'm so wrong. :)

WA is 11 years old now.....how can you say who is the BEST player in whatever schemme?....have you player 24hours per day , 7 days per week and 10 years without stoping?......maybe your cloned yourself and joined all the games from 1999 till now?.....maybe you visited all the worms players houses who play offline and challenged them?
In less sarcastic words, nobody will ever ever know who is the best player in worms or in any game....thinking that one player is the best is a childish way of think.

That is why clans and leagues / tournaments are made to let know the best players so yes def. is possibel know which one is better.
They do that on soccer why we can't do it on worms..
Anyway even though i play worms since their first game released, i am total newbie on shopped and other schemes (i didnt know there was a free server for people play worms, though u had to pay for it) :) *shame*

Maybe in your mind thats correct but i think that its not impossible to say who's best. Not the very very best but close. For example, someone who often win the olympics and leagues got chances to be close to best in my opinion. And everyone got their own opinion about this; if you really love shopper, then you think that the real shopper-pro is the best for you.

I play WA since 2000 and i never played in a tournament or a leagues.....not beacuse I dont want to, its because I cant connect at X hour to play.....i play for hobbie in my freetimes (not in an specific time of the day) I dont really care showing the world that Im the best....

Ah, check this. I think that Mablak got some serious skills with the rope, and i can say that he is the best player in my opinion. A good player for you isn't a good player for me maybe?

The best team players in a free max scheme are "Godmax" and "tobi"! They were born to win and they've won over 800 matches I think and only lost 60-80 or sth.! Great statistics, great players!
Fight them! It's always a max server! "MaxGameIncredibleTeamMatch" or "MaxGameUnstoppableTeamMatch" and so on :)
Enjoy the great max atmosphere!

Mablak is the best, period! He has dominated Worms completely since he started playing online around 2001. He dominated CL2K, he dominated FB, he won the one season he participated in XTC, losing only 2 out of 70 games played. Because of the lack of challenge playing in the regular leagues, he started competing in the NNNL, where he picked up the scheme very fast and was/is the only real threat to Dario (no disrespect to the other NNNL players). He`s without doubt the best roper, his bng is outstanding, his tactical skills are outstanding. Like IBB once wrote on an award thread on a forum:
Elite/Pro: Mablak
Roper: Mablak
RR: Mablak
BnG: Mablak
Team17: Mablak
Shopper/WxW: Mablak
And imo, Intermediate: Mablak

All talking about WA only? I'm not a bad player at all but the lone game for which I managed to get a real pro in it was OW2. Sure WA works fairly similarly but I cannot handle some of the new schemes in WA I think. Left this game behind me, sorry... I'm still visiting it from time to time but only to play dm's, races or shoppa.

This is your thread, but really it's unreasonable to include players who have modified, remapped or multiplied their spacebars (Or anyone who uses any program of some sort to give themselves an advantage) in a discussion about who the best worms player is/was.

Etho.
11 May 2010, 06:50
By that line of logic, you could also state that it's unreasonable to include players that have a good monitor or mouse... or perhaps even all 10 of their fingers, because someone else does not.
These things may give one person an unfair advantage over another, but they are still merely tools used to assist in playing the game. The player is still the one playing the game.

Metacooler
11 May 2010, 12:44
Etho.
Sans essence. Neither a good moniter nor a good mouse give you any sort of increased capabilities in the game.
Whether someone has one disability or another is irrelevent also. Nothing can be done to level out the playing field in such cases. It's not the choice of legitimate ropers to have a fundamental edge over anyone with missing fingers or arthritis.

A 1920x1200-capable monitor allows you to see the entire map at once (for standard-sized maps). Needless to say, being able to see your worm and your target at the other end of the map in BnG makes aiming considerably easier.
A good mouse helps in Hysteria games, especially for telecides.

Well, if they are skilled with a "modified spacebar" they are still skilled, for me at least.

Touché; although I was really implying the rope-game end of the spectrum. BnG is another kettle of fish, and I can see that there's an existing problem there =/
As for telecides, well, I don't play a lot of Hysteria, but aren't they considered to be poor gamesmanship? My point being that such players wouldn't be nominated as the cream of the crop anyway..

Nope, Hysteria has no rules. Or guidelines, for that matter. Telecides are a perfectly acceptable and potentially very entertaining strategy in my book.

I have it on pretty solid authority that Mablak pads his spacebar. NOT that I intend to get into an argument about it.
While I also think that using any sort of software to enhance your abilities is unacceptable in Worms, I do find it important to point out that people who have once put a paper under their spacebar [and didn't particularly like it] to reduce the travel of the key are not the enemy. When their fingers and/or technique, through training, became faster than what their current hardware could keep up with, they could just as easily have done a bit of research and bought a new keyboard that behaved like the modified one, except even better and more consistently. Would you still consider them cheaters? If no, why not? If yes, then everyone is a cheater.
This is your thread, but really it's unreasonable to include players who have modified, remapped or multiplied their spacebars (Or anyone who uses any program of some sort to give themselves an advantage) in a discussion about who the best worms player is/was.
Both Mablak and Anubis are among the greatest ropers to have graced WormNet with their presence, no doubt about it in my mind. It's perfectly reasonable to include them both. Sure one of them admitted to have experimented with cheats and lost a lot of respect for it, but he also gained some for coming clean. And anyway, those who were around to see Anubis's roping get progressively better throughout the years know that even taking all this into account, he was still the one pushing the envelope in both Warmer and RR roping for a considerable time. And to me, that's a large component of being perceived as the best in a particular game type.
Which leads me to my final thought...
Threads like this one are always popularity contests, there's no going about it the objective way. Being widely known for being great at a scheme is the only measure we have to go by. In such a small and tight community, not being generally recognised as someone at the top is a pretty sure sign that you're in fact not there. Though that's not saying that each and every such thread holds any merit and is worth being upset about; by far the most important factor of such a popularity contest isn't how good a player actually is, but rather how many friends and fans he or she have posting in it.
Just wanted to get a few things off my chest. :p

d3rd3vil
16 May 2010, 17:36
"Tobi" and "Godmax" are the best players in the Worms max scheme mode! Period!

18 May 2010, 12:35
On second thought, the 2nd post didn't even post lol.
Anyway what I said was, Thank cHAKK for sticking up for me lol, however gotta remember everyone is entitled to their own opinion and quite alot of players have not even had 1 BnG with me so they couldn't see what I play like.
I admit I used to boast quite a bit about my BnG talent, although not as much as other people brag about other things, but I don't really care anymore, I have a great bunch of friends on WA who I can enjoy the better aspects of BnG with, such as all the members of our guild b2b - born2bng and a league made only for BnG at it's best - a2b - addicted2bng, together this is all I will ever need until WA dies off completely.
But this is my opinion of the best BnG players (obviously excluding myself) of WA through all my experience of the game:
Mablak: For always giving me a challenge and always being up there with me in competitive leagues at BnG, always consistent and still a player not to be reckoned with, never take him lightly.
Green/l3amf/l3ud: These 3 players would have to be the most fun to play with if you enjoy trick shots and alot of LG messing around, although l3amf and l3ud don't really play anymore, they were among the greatest in my opinion when it came to trick shots and LG, Green even has a term in BnG named after him, the Greeny (it's when you hit yourself in an epic way)
KRD: As well as being an exceptional BnG player has been very influencial when it comes to debates about BnG rules and regulations, has even inspired me in a way.
Surgeon: In the past year or so i've seen him go from missing almost every shot in a game to being able to pull off more or less every kind of shot, I honestly don't think he will stop getting better, apart from myself I've never seen anyone with such enthusiasm and passion for playing BnG, he is also currently 1st place in a2b.
wormf00d: My fearless co-leader of b2b, he's never scared to try the riskiest of shots, he's got more balls than a Russian with 3 balls... Has pulled off some of the nicest shots i've seen, just a pity he has so many bad days lol.
And last but not least,
Eldarworm/M3ntal: As well as being very good players themselves, these 2 people are the main reason I am what I am today at BnG, Eldarworm was the 1st person I seen BnG in a style that actually made it exciting to me, he's the reason I quit "warming" and took up BnG, M3ntal on the other hand showed me a method of BnG that helped me to get to grasp with how Bazookas and Grenades really work, called notching, I don't notch now I haven't for about 4-5 years as alot of the shots I do just simply can't be notched, but we could say that it was like learning to ride a bike with stabalizers, it gave me my 1st steps that I will always be thankful for.
Thanks :)

BnG: Komo.
TTRR: Mablak. In TTRR, the faster wins, so there's no need to mention ryan (but for sure, he's the 2nd), anubis, etc, when Mablak has won every, every challenge where he took part.
SSR: Cueshark.
Normal: Dario.
Bungee Race: c0ol
Other schemes are harder to choice the best player, but imo I would say:
Roper: I will say Mablak. Maybe he could lose some games with many players, but in some cases the cr8s could be very decisive. For naming one player, then, Mablak.
Warmer: this is a matter of tastes (even if you have objectives points to qualify them), and there, I pick Mablak.
And the rest of schemes (Elite, T17, Hysteria, Shopper, WxW, Fort, Pro, CTF, WFW, and all the dark schemes, races and stuff.), would be too hard to mention 1 only player, even 2 or 3.

Ok, ok.....dont misunderstand me, Im not saying that Im REALLY the best worms player ever or something close to that.....im just saying that winning those tournaments doesnt mean anything but popularity....
How on earth does winning a tournament have anything to do with POPULARITY??? You don't win a tournament because of popularity... you win a tournament because you play better on the day than all of your opponants and win the tournament.
I play WA since 2000 and i never played in a tournament or a leagues.....not beacuse I dont want to, its because I cant connect at X hour to play.....i play for hobbie in my freetimes (not in an specific time of the day)
Its amazing how little you know about how competative worming is considering you say you've played for 10 years. Tournaments take place ALL THE TIME. You don't have to be on at a certain time to play in tournaments, you can play in tournaments that suit your times of play. Go to the Worm Olympics site now, there are literay hundreds of torunaments being hosted at all different times of the day. Here check this site, http://wormolympics.com/
As for leagues, YOU DONT HAVE TO BE ON AT A CERTAIN TIME OF THE DAY TO PLAY LEAGUE GAMES! All you have to do is go into wormnet and ask for a league game until somebody responds, any time, day or night.
Here, check www.tus-wa.com This is currently the biggest all round league for wa.
I dont really care showing the world that Im the
best....
Your the one who thinks "childishly". People don't play worms competatively to "prove they are the best". They play competatively because worms is a great competative game. It requires skill, strategy, logical thinking and decision making. Its an extremely fun game to play for fun, and if you enjoy competative play then its even more fun when both of you are trying as hard as you can to win.
WA is 11 years old now.....how can you say who is the BEST player in whatever schemme?....have you player 24hours per day , 7 days per week and 10 years without stoping?......maybe your cloned yourself and joined all the games from 1999 till now?.....maybe you visited all the worms players houses who play offline and challenged them?
In less sarcastic words, nobody will ever ever know who is the best player in worms or in any game....thinking that one player is the best is a childish way of think.
In the 10 years you claim to have played worms, you obviously know NOTHING about competative play. There have been leagues recording stats on wormers for a long time. Whilst its hard to say which ONE wormer is the best, its VERY CLEAR who are the most consistent players. We can see who beats who in which scheme, what their winning percentages are, how many games they have won and lost etc...
When we talk about "the best", I assume we are talking about a players skill with the game. Im not considering the other things people do to help the community, like running leagues and sites, making maps and schemes etc. Mablak is considrered to be the best all rounder at the moment. He owns in all schemes and recently has also dominated the intermediate league, which is a hard thing to do! Check here: www.normalnonoobs.org
As for your post, I don't use the t17 forum much and its suprising how many people there are that play worms, post on a worms related forum and talk like they know about it, yet actually dont have a clue about the game and the community!

and to the people complaining about people padding their spaces or modding their kbs...
Saying things like this only demonstrate your lack of understanding about what "good roping" is. Good roping isnt about how fast you can tap space, thats only one aspect of it. Timing is the most important thing, knowing WHEN to tap, and when NOT TO tap is what its all about. You can tell a great roper not by how fast he taps, but WHEN he taps.
ANYONE can pad their space, so whats the problem? Anyone can afford to get a piece of paper and stick it down their space to make A FRACTION OF A SECONDS difference. Do the people who complain about it really think that if they pad their space they will all of a sudden become a great roper?! Go and try it, you'll see it makes NO difference to how well you can rope. All it does is enable you to get that fraction of a second faster reaction time.
It doesnt make that much difference, I can tap 3 or 4 simultaneous shots in a row pretty much as fast as it will go, without padding or any modification. Thats just the style ive developed over the years, im sure if I did pad my space or mod my kb then I might be able to do more than 4consecutively fast taps in a row, but my roping would be NO better and NO faster than it already is.
The point you need to understand is that modifying a kb isnt going to make you a great roper. There are LOADS of people who mod their kbs to tap faster, AND THEY SUCK! Theres no skill in tapping the rope as fast as you can, as I said before its all about TIMING, and accurate flying. Then you get GOOD ROPERS who modify their kb's. They're not good ropers because they modify their kbs. You have to already be a great roper in order to make the most of these modifications.
Go and modify your kb and try it out, you wont be roping any better than you are at the moment. And ANYONE can modify their keyboard... its FREE

Its amazing how little you know about how competative worming is considering you say you've played for 10 years. Tournaments take place ALL THE TIME. You don't have to be on at a certain time to play in tournaments, you can play in tournaments that suit your times of play. Go to the Worm Olympics site now, there are literay hundreds of torunaments being hosted at all different times of the day. Here check this site, http://wormolympics.com/
sure ,sure....knowing something and dont being able to do it are two different things, man....dont call me ignorant just because I cant play on tournaments after 10 years.....
I know there are a lot of choices....but, I play worms when I have freetime my freetime differs from day to day (im a freelancer)....so I dont know when I will be able to play in a certain day....
Mablak is considrered to be the best all rounder at the moment.
U said it by yourself...."he is considered the best" wich is different from "he is the best".....did u understand my point?
Maybe worms is a great competitive game.....but its a great casual game also....
Personally I prefer playing worms for fun, not for "being the best" in a schemme or in the whole game.....maybe ppl like you do it for titles like "the best of" or "the first in", but the truth is that titles are based in 2 or 3 games, not in the whole thing....deal with it and stop quoting like a hyped schoolgirl....

I just told you that you don't need to be on at a certain time of day to play in tournaments or leagues. You said in your previous post that it wasn't that you didnt want to play them, it was that you couldnt play them because you didnt know when you'd be playing. I JUST TOLD YOU that tournaments take place at all sorts of times, yet you STILL say you can't play them because your time differs from day to day. Why are you still saying that!? What relevance does it have to anything saying that...? It doesnt matter when you play, tournaments happen at all sorts of times.
Maybe worms is a great competitive game.....but its a great casual game also....

I dont care if you play competatively or not, I was simply saying that your reasons for not playing competatively are wrong. Did you not READ my post?
People play leagues because they enjoy playing worms competatively, not because they want "titles". What a stupid thing to say. How can you say something like that, WHEN YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED A LEAGUE BEFORE?!
You also said one of the most stupid things ive ever read on a worms forum:
im just saying that winning those tournaments doesnt mean anything but popularity....
Please explain how winning a tournament has ANYTHING to do with popularity.
U said it by yourself...."he is considered the best" wich is different from "he is the best".....did u understand my point?
Your argument is stupid. You could say the same about ANY activity...
Whos the best footballer in the world? Ronaldo? Messi?
Wait, have you seen every footballer in the world? Your argument is dumb. The best footballers join clubs and become recognised. Just as people who get good at worms play online and join leagues. All of the great wormers are known and recognised within the community. You think that theres a chance some random guy who plays offline would happen to have acquired all of the skill and knowlegde the top worms players have without ever comming online?
You talk alot of rubbish in all of your posts, again I ask you to explain how winning a tournament has anything to do with popularity?

Saying someone is dumb just beacuse it doent think like you is the most stupid thing ever, man.....
Open your mind and accept my point of view....
I dont think the winner of 1,2,3-100 tournaments is the best in ANY activity......not just worms....thats my point of view, thats my opinion.....so there is nothing to discuss....if you think im dumb,ignorant or stupid just because my opinion differs from yours kill yourself, there is no solution for you man, seriously do it for the sake of humanity....
IN MY OPINION winning tournaments doesnt make you the best player
If you wanna keep quoting every word I say...go on, but if you wanna marry me thats not the way to ask someone to do it, just send me a pm.....

You said you couldnt play tournaments becuase you THOUGHT that you had to be online at certain times to be able to do that. I told you that that is not the case. Then you said it again despite me already telling you that it was not the case. You were wrong and I was right, this is not a matter of opinion.
You also didnt answer the question ive asked you 3 times now:
Please explain how winning a tournament has anything to do with "populairty"?
I didnt even call you ignorant, but its clear you ARE ignorant to say that in order to take part in leagues and tournaments you need to be on at a certain type of day. THIS IS WRONG! Do you understand that? Theres nothing wrong with being ignorant either, you were ignorant to the fact that you DONT have to be on at certain times in order to play leagues and tournaments. Do you accept that?

Oh right, you dont know what popularity means. Sorry I didnt know you were the sort of person who uses words without knowing what they mean.

And why you double post....is that important to you to prove me wrong?, get a life man....
And my first point was.....the best player isnt determinated by tournaments(that my opinion)....you take that topic of playing tournaments out of nowhere coz you are a tourneyfag....

I hardly ever play in tournaments, the fact is you said that you have to be online at a certain time to play in leagues and torunaments, WHEN THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Instead of resorting to making petty comments about my spelling, just answer the question. The reason you make petty comments instead of answering the question is because you realise you don't have a clue what your talking about.
im just saying that winning those tournaments doesnt mean anything but popularity....winning 10-15-20 matches doesnt mean that a player is the best....
Again, how does winning a tournament have anything to do with popularity?

Since you need my answer to still alive I will give you my opinion in one phrase....
Have you ever heard of " I know him, he won the last wormolympics, he's so pro" thats what I meant by "winning tournaments = earning popularity".....got it?
Now leave me alone!!, I told you im not marring you. man!

Lol yakuza, I know who you are ;)
Jiddy, we should play some BnG, and KRD is one of the best at BnG.
And you should all try going back to the subject of this thread, it's supposed to be a personal opinion of who is the best at certain schemes.
