Does anyone else hate it when people call themselves the "Best FNS Player"

[MJM239]

"Title" what are you talking about? I don't need a title to prove anything, I know I'm good with the FnS, and there are hundreds of others who are good with it too.
I don't agree with your post so I will reply to it stating my opinions, that's all there is to it.

I'm curious to what more you're going to write in reply to

MJM239 if you want to see where timing and precision is involved with the use of FnS, watch my montage.

A few of those clips were pretty cool, and nice montage.

But here's my issue with Flint and Steel, and I'd give it more credit if it weren't for this one reason:

Flint and Steel almost 90% of the time revolves around how careful or attentive your enemy is. Sword, fishing rod, and even bow all take demanding skill from the player to finish a kill, flint and steel is more enemy based, and sometimes kills can be down-right hilarious with how they just walk into the fire, walk out, and die wondering what in the blue-hell just happened cause they died all by THEIR fault.

But, I will give some credit that you can use some pretty sweet tactics in-game to pull off kills. (My personal favorites being the chest and glowstone placements.) But, these kills can be way too far from practical, and are used less than the simple: "I'm gonna put down some flint and steel and hope you're stupid enough to walk into it" trick.

Both precision and timing are the smallest margin of skill you need. You could be in an open spot of land with an enemy behind you, and if you placed a small bit of flint and steel right where he was stupid enough to go, it would almost be less effective than you just spraying it all over the place like a God-damn madman.

Skill in Flint-and-steel is relevant, but it's definitely the dullest knife in the cabinet to have, since it's the easiest to be good at. Whether you just want to go crazy on people and spray, or be diligent with your kills, somebody, somehow, will find a way to light your body like a Christmas Tree, and can call it a kill.

Flint and Steel may be controversial as to whether it's believed to be useful or not, but it's still a pretty, "HOT" topic. (amiright)

Alright, flint and steel requires right clicking the ground to light people on fire. Switching to other weapons are irrelevant, flint and steel is the art of lighting players on fire or using it for defensive purposes.

Now flint and steel can be placed in a 4 block radius. So essentially 16 blocks to get a player on fire if they're charging at you. And most players are generally easy to predict at a close radius. This is what in my opinion makes flint and steel easy.

Now, you try and say with the same logic applied every other weapon is easy. However I disagree and believe that they require more skill.

A player who is 'good' at the sword should know how to perform each technique, strafing, crits, block hitting etc. These are all techniques which require precise timing. Flint and steel requires placing a block of fire down. Hey, half the time people just run into it even if it was placed a few seconds beforehand.

Bows are one of the most complex items in the game. Predicting a players movements is hard and that's why, IMO there are hardly any outstanding bow users compared to FnS users.

Fishing rods are actually fairly easy in my opinion to get the hang of, but perfecting it is also hard. Regardless of if you're using it for fishing rod stuns, knockback it requires very precise timing.

I'm not calling any FnS user bad, I just feel right clicking the ground in a small radius isn't as hard as other aspects to the game.

You are right.

Some people can aim off good distance shots with bows, predict flint and steel well, maneuver up slopes while fighting well however all of that stuff is easy to do in practice, it's not very impressive.

Personally, what is impressive is people who micro-manage these simple things well, dodging arrows whilst lighting a second opponent on fire quickly and juggling opponents, sometimes using the terrain (demon's breeze for example).
