I wanted to make a thread in which we could share our high scores in Catalyst 2013 in 1v0 matches. Mine’s 87, currently. I’m sure I will get topped immediately, what are you guys at?
My first real attempt got 70 using Cannon and hang for 30. Working on practicing and getting more.
EDIT: Gah, you updated your high score, haha.
Yeah, I’m trying to perfect my strategy. I’m using Cannon too, the only other one that looks like it’d be better is the Walking Tall, but I can’t figure out how to lower the elevator. Also, my proof:
Haha, nice! I tried using Walking Tall but also can’t figure out how to lower the lift. I have tried every button. Anyway, more runs on Catalyst tonight…great program! Very enlightening as to how the game will run, too.
It’s still in beta, so I’m sure they’ll fix it for the final release. Very true about how the game will run. I laughed so hard when it started raining frisbees with :30 left.
So I remember last year, Catalyst failed to be any help at all in our brainstorm/design process. Is it any different this year?
Someone said the same thing on Diamond Bullet Studios’s forums, and they said that it would be fixed in the first update.
Could someone help me? I’m at the queuing screen, but i cant figure out how to start the match. what do you have to click?
Hit “Alt” (Left or Right depending on which keyboard you chose) to Select and move on.
And the raining frisbees were quite hilarious…
I just can’t stand arcade drive. I wish there was a tank drive option. Oh well. My high scores only 50.
The walking tail is amazing i scored 60 in one match
It is lowered on the xbox controller using the right analog stick
In the pause menu you can access the controls
Just got 98 with Walking Tall using my controller.

Is it just me or is there not any sound?
And then what do you do in queuing…?

Same thing…
Yeah, I saw that one the forums.
What’s the deal with climbing? Hitting caps locks just seems to make it twitch…

No hanging used. I used the dumper robot. I finally broke 100 
Strategy for walking tall:
First score 4 in auto top.
Then Score all 6 color frisbees.
Finally keep scoring the white discs on top level.
In this version of the game, to climb a side of the pyramid, the robot needs to be backed up to the bar and almost perfectly centered. In our first update to the game, we will be making it where you don’t have to line up perfectly to climb.
The Walking tall robot seems to be pretty good
but there is no way a robot like that could be legal, right?
The high goal is around 104 inches high and if your robot is limited to 84 inches you cannot dump frisbees into it like in the simulator?
Am I missing something?
I think if you didn’t find it useful last year then you probably won’t find it useful this year.
Our team on the other hand proved through playing Catalyst 2012 that a middle basket scorer could compete with above average top basket scorers, which, as you saw on the field, proved correct.
Having said that, I believe this year’s version is less useful, but your mileage may vary.
After staying up and playing Catalyst until 2am with just my keyboard on my laptop, I posted a score of 84. However, I’ve already asked to barrow an Attack 3 joystick for tonight.
