This Tournament I kind of die a lot, was on 2nd place but then was pushed down to 20+
Playing on China server is fun, but unfortunately people from China got Internet advantage over you.
Ok time for some screens:
Me on 2nd place
That was a brief moment, as then I fell and fell hard ^_^

Found one very obvious hacker:
This guy got huge defence and his weapon takes half HP with one hit.
And he got Power Rating more then allowed for his lvl + Pharaoh gear + shades + mid grade axe is NOT equals 11974
He is #1 in the ladder at the moment...
Please report him!

He got high defence, low grade axes that deal massive damage.
And his power rating does not match.
Please report him.

I think I'll stop at 4th place for today. That was haaard.
Here is a screen and I'll explain:
Top two places belong to cheaters/hackers I've posted above. At 5th place kinda suspicious guy, played around 4 battles with him, he's armour seemed to be tougher then normal + he was skilled played. I've only managed to win 1 match against him. Rest, on this screen (except Furiaano, never played him), are very experienced and skilled players (all using two-handed weapon). And of course Indiepwn is here as well!
Indiepwn, we played some good games today, but try not to overdo it. I would advice not to search for a fight if you are within 100 point range from this hackers in top 2 places!

Ok, about hitting, blocking and combat in general.
Matches are between 2 players, it's not PvE were we are faced with monsters on our own device - so by fighting them you got 0 ping. So you can see precisely when and how best to position yourself for the best parry attack.
In PvP and almost in any PvP game over Internet (not LAN) you have to predict where exactly your enemy positioned and what he is doing/about to do.
If you are getting hit by normal attacks - too late to block. You MUST roll. And the best way to roll is behind and start normal combo attack yourself, then use dash. Use dash for interruption, don't finish the full combo.
To summarise - when you get hit and unsure where enemy is exactly - roll, then it's up to you. But Fist step is to break the Distance.
Got two-handed weapon? Try using close combat Brawl technique I've described above. I've invented it to counter Indiepwn, but I think he now loves using it himself! ^_^
I think it's the best and only weapon we got agains them.
I did get this reply from Glu:

Have you guys notice that the first price is a deceiving gear? For example, the champions helm 3 is a super royal helm but you will not notice the difference between the two. The gear of the cracker looks like the future of what we've earning as first price... you guys can imagine what im saying?
Yes, one thing when somebody hacks/cheats openly. But it's a scary thought that somebody could hack just enough to get them an edge needed to win, as its not that obvious to spot.

Wow, how did you get that many points? Did you beat them guys with China flags in their names? I had 2 humiliating defeats against the one with 2 flags on both sides of his name. He is a good player though.
I wish we didn't have to fight on "their territory" as my ping is very high on China server + at times it lags.

Wouldn't it become very obvious the player with the super royal helm was cheating when he didn't revive after death from the helm bonus?
I followed some of your moves and that link is the result
Hahahaha!!! You, you definitely got the Breaker camping spirit in you! I thought it just me some times fighting the looong matches, but I never ever had a Time Over!
You rock man! Thanks for sharing this unique battle!
I believe very few people ever seen this massage! ^_^
Visit my YouTube Channel for Tournament PvP videos
Btw thanks!
I do have a few suggestions for that. If the tournament pulled from all 4 servers but it rotated where they are hosted.
So each server hosted the tournament for 6 hours a day. And no matter what server you were set on it would connect you.
Also if there was a rematch button )
Yea having a rotated tournament server would be one of the solutions. Or we just need more players from America and Europe to join the Tournament and dominate top places like we do! This way they will have to Join our server to get a match in top 50 ^_^

I believe so, yes. As with my 519 battle count I have never had a finished round due to Time Over To achieve that, one must have Balls of Steel!

This morning I started on 14th manage to climb to 7th place, but then got defeated and gradually fell to 99th place LOL. From there was fighting my way back up, as I was wining against some random people, but always loosing to 3 at the top and had to start all over again. It took me some time to learn how to counter their game style and beat them.
In the end with this final victory against one of the top players, that I was loosing to:
I managed to secure 2nd place! Yahoo!
But as I usually say - not for long! ^_^

Congrats on getting the Helm of Endurance! My axe popped up in 2nd try of triple spin.
Visit my YouTube Channel for Tournament PvP videos
Very cool! My original Axe popped on the 5th try, but I didn't try to perfect it or anything. This was also the time where we found out that Axe was way worse than Breaker still and PVP was no where to be found so I just sold my suboptimal Axe since it meant nothing to me. Ever since the General Helm came out though I've wanted to have an Axe again and try to for the straight crit Axe, but have never seen a second one. The Helm of Endurance thing was just so bizarre. That helm is so cool to have!!! It's like you die and get back up real quick. I've won a couple PVP rounds just because of it, lol.
Few combat tips for using reviving helmet.
When you are about to revive and your enemy is waiting near by or charging/dashing - spamm Roll button to any direction, apart from were that person is standing and you will be able to roll twice for the cost of one roll and not get hit. I usually roll in direction of the power ups.
When you got somebody down and waiting on them to revive, remember that power ups come 1st, as enemy will grab them and if it is HP regen you could be in a lot of trouble. If no power ups, or u took them all, come to the person reviving and as they stand up and do the macho shout that pushes you away - press block, if they lagged or wasn't quick enough you should kill them with your parry attack.

Wow, that is good stuff! Thanks for the info!
Aside from that.. see What is my bragging rights?. Hehe cheers!
I think it's about time we start recording our games and show videos instead of images.
Can anyone recommend a good screen recording program for iPad? This way I could record and post my battles and some tips/guides for PvP.
I did search the net and only found the ones that require your device to be jailbroken or something...

Im got 0 point 3 times winner at last.
Look at this, i've lost point.
I also had the same issue yesterday, I had an opponent who Beat me and got 0 points, and then I had to defend my "title" against players waaay below my score on the ladder for another 3 fights. Was getting +1, +4 point out of them. Imagine if I were to lose/drop out from any of those fights?
This was the 0 points fight:
And here one of the fights that matching system gave me:
But it after few fights it all resolved it self.
Why this happens?
Dunno, maybe Glu servers were overloaded, or laggy, or their Internet connection on China server can't cope with all the people playing there. So as a result we experiencing some weird scorings.

Whats happening in iOS version?
There are just too many flaws in PvP to make it enjoyable or taken seriously. Some of the flaws are
1. Getting 0 battle points, even though your opponent has slightly higher power rating than you.
2. Your opponent chickens out and you get nothing. You chicken out and lose big points.
3. You drop dead even though your opponent is not attacking you.
4. Your opponent drops dead when you are not doing any attacking.
5. You won, the game crashes and the battle points disappears but you still lose a battle energy slot.
6. One of the fighter is already furiously attacking while the other is still not ready to move in the 2nd or 3rd round.
7. You get creamed by a level 7 fighter but can cream a level 75 fighter easily. Etc. etc.
