I would have to say she is definitely the best shooter I have seen so far. She is really really good.

I agree our human shooter was amazing and he revolved around our strategy and he never disapointed with supercells when it mattered, he consistently hit long range shots under pressure situations

Since not a lot of people are commenting from Michigan I will put in my two cents, this is not a comprehensive list by any means, just some ones that stick out in my mind.

1 - Incredibly Dynamic, so full of energy you can't keep the kid down.
27 - If this kid gets a super cell you best get away and even that wont save you.
397 - Not great if the target is moving but is usually good for between 7-10 in auton (paired with the auton strategy of bulldozing the opposition into her) Most comfortable in the middle seat.

Keep in mind, these are just teams I noticed, considering I watched very few matches I don't recall all the human players.

Thanks for noticing. The best part was he is a freshman, and he basically had superstar status on our team after making 3 super cells to swing matches in our favor.

no problem! it was awesome that we got to practice with him...gave us a good feel for how a good human player was going to play like.

234's human player is the best that I've seen. He was making 3/4 field shots and in eliminations, I think he only missed 1-2 of the supercells he got, which probably won a couply of our matches. I'd give percentages, but I don't have any. This is based only on BMR, since I wasn't able to really watch any time else

When it comes to clutch, I know I speak for all of 217 in thanking Ashley from 2022 in Midwest. When I heard the flinstones immediate reaction was to watch her put a supercell in an unsuspecting trailer. We never would have made it into Semis without her.

Yes, i think he is one of the few. Really good human player. We nicknamed him "Brown-Jordan" due to his great amount of skill. He really shone at rochester and GTR!
Really nice!

thanks, but i really think that 1241's human player was the best. Very smart and dynamic. He has a unique way of shooting the orbit balls, and a unique way of getting them in! Im not bad though?

I don't know his name but the killer bee's (team 33) human player is pretty fun to watch and really good.

We did keep track for a while. We had him at 93% - best at BMR.

Thanks for the compliments Noeen! You were amazing as well! You consistently scored many moon rocks at both FLR and GTR.
As for all the wins and competitions, you're probably having an amazing rookie year! Good Luck in Atlanta!

As for "Brown-Jordan", yes i agree with Koko's accurate description of his style. He's very dynamic, accurate and consistent. He was easily sinking 95-97% of his shots in FLR and slightly less at about 95% at GTR [Had a bad day on Friday; But significantly better on Saturday].

I would like to thank 188 for the compliments and the Best Human Shooter Award that you gave us @ FLR.

I'll have to check, however i think he won several more awards by other teams including 1511, 1547 and i believe one of the G.R.R teams..
I apologize if i missed out on any teams that gave us the Best Human Shooter Awards.

I know everyone is going to say their PS is good, but we're pretty happy with our guy. At Florida he hit 7/8 super cell shots, including 2 in one match (that won us the match) and had a pretty high percentage rate on regular moon rocks.

I remember 425's human player being pretty good, I had to start consciously staying away from him because of the shots he was making.

Also I'll put another nomination up for 103's PS, from what our scouts gave me and what I saw, his shots looked pretty darn good.

That kid was dressed like an 80's basketball player and hit some unbelievable last second shots.
