Smackdown Analysis

[Zutazuta]

Before there was "Saturday Smackdown," I did my weekly streams on Wednesday afternoons after returning from class at school. My original goal of those streams was to be educational and to cast both my own and other high level game play so that newer players would have a resource from which to draw knowledge. At the end of each of these Wednesday streams, I would often go over high level replays or user submitted replays and analyze a certain aspect of the game that I found educational. I've since graduated, and as most people probably know, much prefer to cast these days to actually playing. However, I still think that the replay analysis portion of the stream could be beneficial to some players.

That's where you come in. Starting with this week, after the BO7 (don't worry that's not changing), I plan on doing a replay analysis of a user submitted game. If you have a certain game you'd like reviewed, whether it be your own game play, one of an expert player, etc. I'll work my way through the list in upcoming smackdowns and might try and coordinate with Interjection to get them posted to his youtube channel as well.

In your submission, please put a link to the game you want reviewed and the aspect of the game you want reviewed (i.e. "Why did I lose." or "What can China do better in this game to improve his chances of winning"). Any feedback welcome.

I think a lot of people would watch. I definitely want to hear what you have to say about a lower level game b/c those are the type of mistakes I make :-/

[giveuanxiety]

All right.

(btw someone needs to make a thumbs up emoji on this site. That's one of my go to emoji's and I would of used it here, sad day.)

I havent really noticed that stream actually going live on wednesdays, maybe they replaced it with something else during the tourney?

[iNcog]

Maybe it's because AoC noobs are lazy

[crjensen4]

What a great idea!!

[Qulala]

it is a great idea, even i am only a non online aoe 3 player, i realy like to see some educational video's
please also put the educational vids also on youtube, but not included in the total 2.40 hour smackdown video but apart of it so it is easier to find.

Why did I loose, and what can India do vs aztec?

[ciaran36]

Sweet idea. Show games from players of all ranks

[Zutazuta]

Thanks for the upload ovi, I'll be sure to go over your replay this weekend.

AWESOME!

Actually india should beat azzie. You just have to boom in def and win with your better eco and your better late game.

You will see the rec, high plains is a bitch

[hellotissue]

It would be really educational and interesting!

[yurashic]

I have got an interesting rec. It is my old game, me German vs Einclock Spanish. It is a quite entertaining one with spies killing mercenaries and burned down tcs.

Hey Zuta! Thank you for adding this analysis bit to Smackdown.

Attached is a German vs Japan game on New England. I am playing as the Germans. I'm PR 11 and the other guy is PR 20 so it's certainly not like watching a Smackdown.

That said, what are the biggest issues you see that I should be trying to improve on for my German play? Additionally, what tips would you have specifically for this MU? As you'll see, my raiding was not nearly as successful like in the KingOwnage vs Samwise German/Japan game from last Smackdown.

Thanks again!!
