Yea nakamura is the current best set up. Its starting to get difficult to get by with a 59 serve, I feel bad for the bishops out there

[ILuvBillVal]

Low serves are always tough to get used to. Once you do though you can take everyone out! (Ahem)



Anyway, I just want to say I have nightmares about djarvik's Nakamura.


I've NEVER played a Lorenz or Fussman either LOL the Specialist was sometimes using Lightman, though.

[SoundfSilence]

I started out with Bishop, until his power was lowered to the 50s.

I moved to Lightman, which was great fun, but against a good nakamura / gray / cannon, it is impossible.. (at least for me).

Then I tried Cannon, he works really well for me, he is balanced unlike before, but Nakamura is definately the stronger one.

[fedfan]

Well I'm abandoning Gray on PS3, I'm gonna have one go with Bashmakov and if all else fails I'm gonna revert to Lorenz.

If I'm gonna keep losing I'd rather dig my heels in and stick with my original choice of character and really try and improve with him.

[picachu211]

ooopppsss I read it wrong

Excuse the old people syndrome, after all he has a offer for a cemetery.

Yea, Djarvik is just an old over-the-hill 30-something. Don't you have a wife? A job? Hobbies? Put down the video game and do something more productive w/ your time. Oh wait.............. nevermind....

And who are you?

A joke. Sarcasm. Hence the "oh wait......nevermind" - alluding to myself.

[picachu211]

I thought that was meant for me.
Because I don't have a wife, but I do have a job and hobbies.

Bashmakov is only good if u can serve on the line in every service.

[brgerflipr]

:lol: I thought that was meant for me.

LOL, it's all good man. Totally wasn't directed at you dude. I just re-read what i wrote, i'm so dumb, i can't even write properly. I'd never openly attack anyone here, not my style. Got too much respect for ITST.

But for the record..........because I have a wife, I have to have a job and I am not allowed to have hobbies.

[VillaJ100]

I'm now using nakamura for the clay. But on grass it will either be burns or striker. hard, probably just whatever i'm in the mood for. but i use burns the most.

Looks very balanced BTW.

Very interesting info. But poeple don't stick to one player only in general. WHen i see that list, pretty often, the players you mentionned didn't use this character against me . Or change. I think we all switch from time to time.
I use three for instance. It depends who i'm playing against. I like Lopez, but also Jansen and sometimes Bishop if i play against a strong Bashmakov.

[djarvik]

Yes. I think it is best to have 2-3 players availible. I got cought by surprize once, by Norberto here I am expecting Bashama...on clay....and he shows up with House! Smart move. My Naka is more suited for hard courts, so I was always a step slower and stamina ran out early in second set.

This thread propted the Djarvik Open. I just wanted to show that all other players are just as strong....Lightman, Lorenz, Fussman...etc... can also domintate....if not dominate, there surely can be one Specialist that can make them work and succeed.

[VillaJ100]

My 3 players i have are Burns, nakamura and striker. Used to have lopez but found him hard to use.

[DarkPaladin87]

Since my match with Jansen in the djarvik open against marlon i realized Jansen suits my style somewhat better. I used to play with Burns but it´s hard to cope with 54 power and a weak wing of 51, especially on return games. Jansen instead has mediocre groundstrokes 68 and 63 but compensates that with high power 77.

I see myself as an agressive baseliner who rushes the net when possible. That is on return games, when i serve i S&V like 80%. With that statement Jansen might be better for me, especially on clay.

O wait yeah roland garros is next week, perfect timing

I never noticed that Jansen was the most powerful player 77
