Re: Was Aerial Assist Better than Ultimate Ascent?
The two past games were drastically different. I personally favored Ultimate Assent for its ability to allow good robots to seed high and then form amazing alliances for eliminations. Ultimate Assent had many different designs of robots and strategies from climbers to cyclers and full court shooters. sure, there was alliances were they just cycled, but that was a good strategy. I will never forget the image of seeing 469 and 1519 pounding full court shots while 33 cleaned up the mess in front of the goal. Areal Assist created a game where 3 robots that functioned together could pull of any upset imaginable, which created some of the best elimination matches that I have ever seen. The qualification matches however saw many matches where one robot or two robots were trying to come back against another alliances of 3 fully functioning robots. This left much of the seeding for eliminations to the strength of that teams schedule. I loved the way that strategy was incorporated this year, but even with a good strategy one robot could reduce their alliances chances of victory.
