Back to basics: Strategy, Satire, and… Stealing?
Ever wish you could improve the world? Sadly, due to the limitations imposed by society, you cannot. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other, more shallow goals you can pursue.Like, for instance, making Top Tier Tactics a better place.
You see, when T3 first came to be, it was mainly a place for me to post my trolling tactics, rage about Team Fortress 2 issues, and steal content from iplaywinner.com and EventHubs. In the last year and a half, things have moved away from these sacred rites, and I won’t rest until they’re reinstated.
I’d love to revitalize Tactical Tuesdays and/or Thursdays, one of the site’s oldest features. We’d peruse the Internet for great content, then steal embed it here to share with the community for a rousing discussion of why Sagat was imba or how to kill enemies in Bad Company 2 with smoke grenades from across the map. Good times.
But I can’t do it alone. And while I could just inject more amphetamines into my writers until they sniff out something, it’s significantly less morally questionable to ask you, the reader, for help.
All you need to do is e-mail me with one of your favorite articles or videos on how to win at video games. Whether it’s an actual professional tactic or a cheesy, gimmicky playstyle with a 10% chance of success, I want to hear about it. Once we get your submission, one of us will check it out, then post an article featuring your submission.* Maybe it’s from your favorite YouTube commentator, or just a skilled player on your forum of choice, or a random article you found by mistake while looking for Darkstalkers-themed pornography. It’s all good.
And hey, if you want to send in your own content, what better way exists to get free “publicity” than on Top Tier Tactics’ frontpage? (Reddit doesn’t count.)
To start things off, here are some videos I found on EventHubs (see how easy this is?). Apparently someone in Japan took his schoolgirl fetish a little too seriously and actually turned Sakura into a tournament-caliber character, facing off in insane matches against Poongko the Daigo-killer and some scrub called “Tokido.” The results? Lots of insane footsies and ridiculously-timed combos… with all the awkwardness you might expect would be generated by an underage sex symbol!

*Assuming it doesn’t totally suck, of course.
Looking forward to the tactical thursday comeback!
Yes, I’m fast.
TAAAACTICAAAAAL
TUEEEEEEEESDAAY.
It’s been too long.
Bonus points if the article you send him is one I wrote. ^_^
What is the focus of the submissions? Just online gameplay or SP as well? Is there a console focus? I noticed your tournaments (as well as AC:Brotherhood videos) were aimed at Xbox 360.
I guess I’d prefer multiplayer but platform doesn’t really matter.
Why not also have a TF2 replay highlight feature? This way, people can share their moments of awesomeness/failure/killing WiNG.
The links don’t work….
