Question to you RickiTiki Sticks, I am very new to Onward and I'm not totally understanding why you're memorizing the code before / during the match. I would imagine making the process of capping once you are at objective quicker is the obvious reason. I just wondered though, is the code not available once the game has started? In my experience the code is available anytime on the tablet. Is it not available in higher Stakes games? Thanks!
@@rhinocirrus Hi Ryan! You’re right the code is still available on the tablet at any time but, in general, it’s still much faster to have the code memorized. In matches against good teams, your enemies will be watching their teammates’ positions closely (on their own tablets) so they’ll quickly know when their defender on the objective dies and rotate to prevent a cap. If they’re quick, you’ll only have moments to cap, so every second counts.
@@rhinocirrus Obviously not Ricki, but the code is accessible anytime and you're correct in saying it's best to memorize it right from the beginning. Memorizing the code at the beginning of the round will save you time compared to trying to memorize it at the uplink when you could be capping during that point.
Thank you Theta for all of your content! I am really new to Onward and I am absolutely hooked. IMO all of your videos are valuable to someone very green like myself. Also, I would guess the type of critique illustrated in this video helps most players watching that are not yet at league competition level and probably quite a few that are. So yes, please make more videos like this in the future if you can fit it in. I know I have made every mistake you have brought up here more than once. This gives me a ton of information to digest and work on. Thanks also to the players that submitted their game play footage. I think something that might be really helpful to me right now is hearing audio of an at least somewhat experienced team during an entire match. I understand what to call out, and I know that I can memorize Maps that are online. To hear them in action would be another thing altogether. It would just be real interesting to see how a team works together from a communication standpoint. I haven't been able to watch every video you've made yet 😁 so you may already have something like this that I just haven't seen. Thanks again for everything!
Right on, thanks for watching and welcome to the game. In terms of in-game audio, you should just play with more experienced players. I host lobbies on a regular basis for people in my Discord, you should come join us: invite.gg/ThetaVR
@@ThetaVR I added myself to the role, so I am all set. Are there rough times and days you play? I ask because I work a second shift Monday - Friday, but I can change my schedule a bit if I know a little in advance.
@@rhinocirrus The standard time is 6pm PST at least a few times a week. Lately we've been doing Monday, Wednesday, Friday, but that isn't set in stone.
I feel like this was helpful. I have been dealing with toxic kids, either team-killing a teammate or me, or constantly being asked to Res them, ect and often just feeling like a babysitter. Is there a way I can avoid this? I know there are kids who are good team players, so I'm not saying all of them are like that. But I'd like to play with people who take the game seriously. Any advice Theta?
The big one is find a group to play with and coordinate with them. Joining a league team helps a lot there. I also host lobbies for my Discord members every week, and you're free to join those as well: invite.gg/ThetaVR.
Hey Theta, mind if I use your precious comment section to find a good sparring partner? I’m decently new to Onward (blue belt considering your practice partners 2 video) but am competent enough to play with someone my level or a little higher to get better or help someone out. If anyone is interested reply to this comment.
9:28 holy crap I feel stressed just watching this guy. He's shaking like crazy!
Hahaha
I figure I spend the whole round memorizing the code, I ought get a little something out of it.

This is great stuff for people to learn from!
It's really helped me, this and the other videos
I'm waiting for my birthday to get a quest 2 and watching you and viper is keeping me sane while I wait.
Noice, glad I could help you with the wait.

@@ThetaVR Thanks! I joined under the handle @muskywisperer. I am looking forward to joining some lobbies and working on my game.
@@rhinocirrus Noice. Make sure you add the Kool-Aid Crew role so you get pinged when we play.

Indeed, and you caught first comment once again...
@@ThetaVR I haven’t even watched the video I’m just catching the comments early

I played with you on yesterday the people on your team were very toxic ever since you and i joined the server but good video as always :D
Oh god, I remember that lobby. Those dudes were idiots...
I know thank goodness they all left and it was just me and my team
dude do you remember me i comented on your vids at 30 subs :)
Yep, welcome back!
Back when you didn’t have a stock how did you hold your controllers?
I was a freehander for most of my career, as I didn't get my stock until halfway through my 4th season.
Nice video👍 Slow crawling big no no.
Lego doesn't approve of slow crawling, WHAT A SHOCK.
