It's that time of year again, time for the Altador Cup! I don't know about you all, but I'm super excited. Team Maraqua all the way! ;D
Is anyone else going to be playing for a team, or rooting for one, even?
What do you guys think of the new yooyu ball?

DC FTW ALL THE WAY... I have at least supported DC all previous five years of the Cup and don't plan on stopping now that that's out of the way... I haven't gotten a chance to play the new YYB yet, but that's because I have a slow connection . Hopefully I can manage to get my 500 games in by the end of the AC so I can finally make All-Star.. the prizes last year were amazing and I totally want me some of that. xD

Nice! DC has won the Cup before, haven't they? Neo won't load for some reason right now, so I can't check. :< This is my first year participating in the Cup, so I'm super excited! You mentioning fantastic prizes has made my excitement a hundred times worse. Can't wait for tomorrow! Good bye, summer progress. xD Personally, I'm not a fan of the new YYB, even though I've never played the old version either. I'll do anything for prizes though. . .

xD OOOh yeah. We had a pirate PB as a prize choice last year- I have secretly been wanting a pirate crosspaint for a while so I hope its there this year. Or island or desert or Darigan or... You get my point xD this is also the only time you can get a yooyu petpet- so I suggest playing a lot xD

Joined Altador, as its where I base my Neo-sona and all that. =) I was Haunted Woods for all the years on my old account, but switched when I restarted. (And yes, I'm fully aware Altador sucks almost as bad as Faerieland. XD)

Awesome! I almost went Altador, because I'm in the process of creating a huge Altador Cup fan for a character. Altador and Maraqua are her main teams, but most of my characters are from Maraqua, so that's the one I went with.
Squeee! I'm so excited! I can't believe I'm this worked up over a game. xD Good luck to everyone!

LOL you're funny, Noel. XD
I'll probably start out really strong, then get lazy halfway through. P= Typically what happens with me, period. I haven't even tried the new YYB game yet. XD

I'll take that as a compliment. xD I can see the same thing happening to me, especially with Make Some Noise. The new YYB isn't so bad once you get used to it though. What's your favorite and least favorite side games? For me, SS is the favorite, MSN is least.

I love SOSD and MSN, but *despise* SS. I've never been good at diner dash, so that probably explains it. XD When the GMC was going on and everyone's like "ISLAND CHEF ACADAMY PLZ" I'm like "Oh God please no." xD

lol xD I think I played too much Tapper as a kid, so I don't mind SS too much. SOSD is still my favorite, and I'm totally ok with MSN now that I know I can hit the space button to end it! xD

Shenkuu again for me in honor of Coderanger. Don't think I'm going to be too active this year though. I still feel burnt out from last year. (...and I fail at the new version of YYB *cough*).

I joined Maraqua. For the first time ever, I have figured out how to play Yooyuball.

xD It does seem to be pretty split- people who have never been able to play YYB can play it now, or the people who were phenomenal at the old version can't play it, and then there's the remainder of people who, because fate can be a Fumanchu, still cannot play YYB. I stick with SD xD I *might* get to rank one, or my 100 SD games will be static because I can't stand to see that (*&(ing chia anymore. XD

Aye. It took me three years to figure the old game out. Just tried the new one again today and it still feels clunky. I really don't like the way the game makes me control who ever is closest to the ball; it feels like whoever I'm controlling constantly switches and then I'm suddenly going the wrong way because I *have* to use arrow keys. I feel like I might do okay if it weren't for that one little thing.
Will probably get used to it in a few years, and then they'll change it again. xD

Agreed! My hand-eye coordination inhales to start with (writing/typing is another part of the brain, so say my psych books- I think they just say that to make me feel better), and having eight moving objects on the screen with the ability to only move one at a time (and it's never the one you need) is hell.
I say "to make me feel better" about the psych books because I've got one of the highest recorded scores on Word Poker (and come close to it or beat it every month)- yet Yooyu Ball totally freaks me out o.o Probably because I don't have a bunch of crap moving willy-nilly on the screen so I can concentrate. XD

I know! We're kicking butt. >3
I actually like the auto character-switching thing, I have no hand-eye coordination, so to have to manually select my player and then pass balls too, was torture. Now it gets a little confusing at times but I can actually play it.
MARAQUA FTW >3
