If we're joining again, got some changes to be made to the team. We don't want to bite the watermelon again >>>/otter/1386

>>2006 Alrighty, are cards >CF: same as before >AMF: One Touch Pass Weighted Pass Captaincy Pinpoint Crossing Early Cross >LMF, RMF: Incisive Run First Time Shot >DMF Track Back Fighting Spirit >LB, RB: Fighting Spirit Speeding Bullet Pinpoint Crossing >CB: Speeding Bullet Acrobatic Clear

>>2189 also keep stats the same except for Advanced Instructions: Attack 1: Centring Targets Attack 2: Attacking Fullbacks Defence 1: Counter Target (CF) Defence 2: OFF

Can we use some alternate kits this time? I wanna see how they look.

>>2191 Yeah, I'm thinking we should use the "Otters Crossing" kit for this one

>>2006 >>2189 Hold on, I think we'll need to turn Nuria and St. Cuthbert into proper wingers to make this work, otterwise they're gonna drop back when the wingbacks come forward (we don't want that) So it's gonna be LWF, RWF (Prolific Winger; Incisive Run, First Time Shot), th,at's gonna change our formation to a 4-2-1-3 basically

>>2208 Hmmm We can probably just have them right at the edge between winger/midfielder so our formation will look mostly the same

>>2006 >>2189 We either just saved our team or totally messed it up. Let's find out.

we should also change our sub strategy accordingly >Sub off 2 most tired attackers at 70' Sub off most tired defender at 80'

>>2208 Apparently the tactic works even for left/right midfielders, but i prefer doing it this way anyway.

Should we have tactics to use in case we're losing? I'd suggest switching to counter attack and turning on gegenpress.

/otter/ get

>>2190 switch counter target to AMF since he's the passing guy now

FINAL STRATEGY Formation: 4-2-3-1 Attacking Instructions Attacking Styles: Possession Game Build Up: Long Pass Attacking Area: Wide Positioning: Maintain Position Support Range: 5 Defensive Instructions Defensive Styles: Frontline Pressure Containment: Middle Pressuring: Aggressive Defensive Line: 5 Compactness: 7 Advanced Instructions: Attack 1: Centring Targets Attack 2: Attacking Fullbacks Defence 1: Counter Target (AMF) Defence 2: OFF Player Settings: Select Captain: Bishan Dad Long Free Kick Taker: Bishan Dad Short FK Taker: St. Cuthbert FK Taker 2: Otter von Bismarck Left Corner Kick Taker: Emmet Right CK Taker: *schlopschlopschlopschlopschlop Penalty Kick Taker: Small-clawed Otter Players to Join Attack: none Substitution Strategies: Sub off 2 most tired attackers at 65' Sub off most tired defender at 75' I'm putting subs in a little earlier so players don't die of exhaustion

>>2246 oh wait, is left corner our left or their left? Anyways, just put them on whatever side they're on

>>2210 This all works perfectly in my head

>>2246 Okay, final change to the final strategy: make containment wide and compactness 4. Now it's good. I hope.

>>2246 >>2249 ah, and put Zarathustra as Long FK taker.

>>2189 >just found out COM playing styles don't even change player abilities Pls replace speeding bullet with track back on defence.

>>2247 Yeah, it's your left. Top left corner on that picture of your player formation, so a right-footed kicker will curl the ball in towards the goal and a left-footed kicker will curl outwards. (I honestly don't know if one strategy is any more advantageous since I've seen goals off either technique, but my current strategy is curling in on both corners.)

>>2251 Track back might work on fullbacks if they're playing offensively, but on centerbacks it's a poor choice since it's meant mainly for the opposing half. I'd use a different card for those.

>>2257 Hmm, just give CBs man marking instead then.

>>2277 I've found some free downloadable models here, which would you like? https://sketchfab.com/search?features=downloadable&q=urchin&sort_by=-likeCount&type=models I can do basic changes like making one more round or basic color changes. I like the one with pink spikes (although if you want I could make it more purple and textured to be less cartoony).

>>2301 This one here looks pretty lifelike https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/red-sea-urchin-small-2adc33a3a8c74a3c8759745c46c612ff

>>2303 Thanks, that looks delicious

New otter icup thread https://otterchan.net/res/37.html

>>2314 You guys moved?

>>2321 Yes.

>>2246 Sub strategies should be >Sub off Nuria for Chungungo at 65 >Sub off St. Cuthbert for AAAAAAAAAA at 65 >Sub off most tired defender at 75

>>2527 Translation?

>>2528 It's right there.

>>81 which ICUP match is this from?

>>2721 I'm dying, SKF, please put this on the intermission page when we stream

Also, memes

/otter/ vs >>>/pro/ showdown when?

>>2740 Cease this rat vs rat D&C immediately

>>2734 >manlet mania

>>2740 Who would win???

Just coming here to say to anyone that might need to know that Otterchan has moved to Otterchat.net, so if we need to be contacted about icup developments, that's where to go

>>2895 We're not in the ring anymore, otterbro.

>>2896 Does that prevent us from participating? I know that riggers still gave updates when we first left the webring

>>2895 I don't think the 'ring rule matters that much anymore. Basically unless you're a bad actor or /leftypol/ you can probably participate. My issue is that we need to find SKF or a good host in his stead.

>>2897 I mean not just in a technical sense, Otterchat isn't aligned with the webring. It wouldn't be fair nor appropriate to still participate

>>2899 So what? /otter/ is one of the funnest teams and worthy of a place in the cup.

>>2916 "/otter/" implies an anonymous imageboard. Not sure if the admin of otterchat will keep those two traits after revamping the site. - if it doesn't, it fits just as badly as a runescape discord or your mom's facebook group. - if it does, I see no problem with allowing /otter/, regardless of whether otterchat is part of the webring and regardless of whether the admin supports the team. Even if the admin is the >normies get out reee type, there are otters (heh) who want to manage the icup team. And everyone could use a bit of cross-pollination across these absolute niches.
