    I was actually starting to come into my NS prime when I entered college, because I finally have a good gaming rig (w00t for 60 fps constant). At one point with a Skulk I could take on 3-4 marines in CQB and slaughter them...granted, it was as a Super skulk (Celerity + Carapace) but still...considering that a month before that I couldn't take on 1 marine in CQB.


    SSBM, I love Sheik. Haven't gotten Mew yet, but I don't own the game so <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    as long as my team has:
    a few shooters
    a few thinkers
    several in the middle
    and NO whiners
    im fine

    i care nothing of age, welll then again i'm usually always the youngest player on the team so...

    and compared to 5 years ago my reflexes are on average better by 0.01s ... no biggie but it does help
    also: typing speed up by 80%, accuracy down by 99% <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    no

    people can practice and become very skilled, age isn't a determing factor

    Reaction times aren't a determining factor?

    This is my theory. There is awesome young players out there, but this is because the games they master are a little bit simplistic. Realtime and turn based strategy would probably be biased in favour of older age(to a point). In the case of RTS, it the reflexes of THINKING, not hand/eye, that would matter. Although both would be suitably tactical.

    That's not to say that there isn't room for thinking in fast paced action games, but it's bolstered/limited by reflexes and coordination.
