2006/Y8 Altador World Cup (Split 6)

[anjuna]

W00t! Finally got a win 7 to 0 ! I can't seem to get 8 or 9 yet like some of you Yooyuball masters, but give me some time and maybe I can.

I am definitely working better with the mutant ball, and even coasting in some nice snow ball shots. I find that that sharp angle works for the slow snow ball too and I don't have to get so close to the goal anymore.

The mutant ball I just sort of "wing" and fling it "hard" really with an extra dose of mind-power and usually it goes just where I want it (usually).

And I can scoop up that lost yooyu great now. My only weakness is that sometimes a great shot will be missed due to slightly poor aim, and if I am doing well, the other team occasionally tries a cheap shot when they get the ball at first, passing right down the center, and my mouse coordination is still a bit slow and unstable to get to my goalie in time.

Have they taken out the ability to select a player during the Yooyuball scene? That was the only real way to win the 'kick'off, so it's kind of annoying if they did.

Cool, I just won twice against Faerieland! 2-1 and 4-0. Does it matter how many times you win against a opponent? Because I don't really want to spend the entire day trying to win more matches.

Not really sure, I was so bad at the start I almost gave up, but quickly got the hang of it. Either way, I think I used to try grabbing the ball at the start, and that might be where I actually fumbled most of the time. If I remember to stay on my toes, I can usually either catch it midstream or do that Shift reset (it works now yay) and most of the time get back to my goalie in time. But I find I do much better on the offensive, of course. Once I lose that yooyu one of two things happens. If it is lost on their half of the field, I can more often than not grab that ball back and pitch it in at one of my hard angles. If it is on my side, I find myself scrambling to reset players and reach my goalie in time to block and watch their pass, then it is almost a toss up. The other team seems to be good at passing fast and popping one in so to speak.

Yes they did but it's still possible to get the ball first if you quickly click where the ball is or a little past it right as the game is starting.

Okay, so I've got a question. How will my team advance to the next round? Will TNT randomly choose which teams go on? Or are there staff members playing for each team and whoever wins more advances?

I dread the third option, which is that I actually have to play. I'm not good at this game but don't want to be left out.

Maybe the Orange Phantom Shirt Guy decides which team "wins"? Then if you lose, you can switch teams. Eventually get to the finals, then ... no one really knows ...

EDIT: Faerieland wins 8 to 1. (Pretty good for a bunch of "girls" eh?)

[CloudAngel]

My favorite part so far: the face of the mutant yooyu after you score. (well, that and the fact that I finally can score )

Does anyone know how to get the game fullscreen (with FF)?

If you can't double click right on the top bar of the Flash window popup, try it with Orca (also based on Gecko). It works fine here.

EDITED 'cause at this late hour my brain is mush and I had the wrong link there for a while.

Third time I'm saying this, but you can just click the spot where the ball is as soon as the game starts, which sends your player there...

My predictions

Altador VS Krawk Island
Kiko Lake VS Brightvale
Darigan Citadel VS Terror Mountain
Mystery Island VS Faerieland
Haunted Woods VS Kreludor
Virtupets VS Lost Desert
Maraqua VS Meridell
Roo Island VS Tyrannia


Just won a couple of matches, but it was a close thing. I'm on my brother's computer, and his mouse lags

On that news page it said that they are taking collective wins/losses and goals into account. It also said you'll get a special reward if your team wins AND you made it through every round.

Where did you find that?

And I hope they do it by points. Like if you submit a 9-2 score, they give you your nine points and the two points to the other team.

[Matterbug]

Ewww...

I have to play my arch-nemesis Faerieland this round.

I also agree that TNT should take the average scores of the teams.

I have a feeling Mystery Island isn't getting out of this round, lol.

Well if what Ferret wrote is true than Mystery Island wont be getting any points from me... All the games Ive played have been complete shut outs...
