This spotlight features Dude, Where’s the Runner? runner II Blue Zebra II
When did you start playing Grifball?
started playing on January 9th, 2008(I finally got xbox live around that time). When I got the heroic map pack though, I was a bit late in the season to join a team so instead I signed up for H3P later on.
How many seasons have you played in?
I’ve been there for every season but I haven’t played in Winter League 08, really wish I had the chance though.
What was your favorite season? Which version of Grifball did you like the best?
Fall league. Not a single forfeit factory, drama incident, replay or anything of the sort.
But really, my favorite had to be winter 09, it was the season I started to show any improvement of a sort, managing a handful of goals each game(played every game), got general on double exp grifball, and I managed to pull off a successful wall cancel my very last game.
What teams have you been on and what team are you on right now?
Eclipse, Night, L.I.E., Anonymous, That One Team, 9th Wonders, Whose The Noobs Now? and currently Dudes Wheres the Runner…even though those two last teams are the same. The only teams I actually played on in a league was ToT, 9th Wonders, and WTNN?/DWR? though
Who would you say is the best tank in Grifball? Trick runner? Hybrid?
This really could mean a variety of things.
k/d wise and kills I can easily say RedBaron, he makes me glad I’m on a team with him and not the guys on the other side… 
leading me in? I’d like to say Hobo for pushing up and getting me up to the spawn, but dragon or aj when it comes to launching me.
overall? I gotta go with Zeg. Amazing as hell tank when pushing in and also his k/d speaks for himself.
Runner?
Well if I had to go with veteran runners, Adam Pisani and II Flowers II were my above all favorites. One was very into the fundamentals and focused largely on stiffarms while the other made up crazy tricks to get a goal and make people go “where the fuck did he go?!”. I really dont see either of them play that much anymore so I can’t say they’re still that amazing. =(
Currently? No one. I really dont like any runners right now including myself.
As for hybrids, I’ve seen xo pie xo play and he’s gotten really fucking good compared to when he was on HHDDVVDDBVD lol he’s usually all over the place either tanking or running it in. Flowers sorta now and back in the day was an amazing as hell hybrid also, pretty much lived up to the definition of one.
What team do you think is the best in the Amateur league? Pro league?
Quite frankly I dont keep up with amateur league. I dont think I’ve ever been in the rookie league. O.o
As for Pro, it’s a really tough decision but I’m most worried about sylal honestly.
Who is your favorite player? Team?
Flowers and RedBaron. Flowers because he’s the guy who taught me all these tricks and such I know now(and by teach I mean would fucking lie to me so I had to figure it out myself) and RedBaron because I really didn’t believe in good off host tanks till I played on WTNN? His shitload of kills always helps makes it easier scoring to be honest.
Favorite team? well I love the team I’m on now but if I had to exclude them I’d have to say Cat In The Hat Crew, partly because of the name, and because I think they’re a solid team that has a chance to take championship.
Do you have a rival player? Team?
Not to my knowledge on both accounts. Would be pretty cool to have one though.
If you could change one thing about Grifball what would it be?
Me not having host but sorta having the same connection? D:
But if I can’t be selfish about this question then probably Adam Pisani’s promises of microsoft points and making people wait over a year. He must be put to a stop…we did get the shirt though
If you had to pick one thing you didn’t like about Grifball what would it be?
Host. It kills the game to me personally, it defines a player more than his actual skill and it kinda pisses me off.
If you had to pick one thing about Grifball that you absolutely loved what would it be?
double exp. simply because it gives you the chance to scrim with a load of teams without the need of scheduling anything.
What are your thoughts on the possibility of a Ranked Grifball playlist?
Please? I dont give a fuck about general, I just want a brigadier but lone wolves sucks. >:(
If a team got paid to participate in one of the leagues what would your impression be?
Depends, how much? But in reality, it sounds like a broken system that could cause a shitload of problems.
Are there any controversies that you can recall from your experience that sticks in your mind?
melee system possibly ending grifball? I lol’d when I looked back on that.
Which team do you think will win the Amateur GBSML09? Pro GBSML09?
idk? a decent team?
I think sylal, cat in the hat crew, and maybe DWR have a fair shot.
