Kax:

Kax is an interesting player. He is quite skilled tactically, but he is somewhat lacking in strategy. He can take pills very quickly, and is reportedly a master at vulturing (he managed to vulture me when I was specifically watching for him the first time I played him recently, so I'll take these reports at face value).. He can gain a quick advantage in pills, because he is quite skilled with the takes in addition to his vulturing... He is somewhat tentative or unimaginative in pressing his advantage, however, at least in my limited experience with him. He likes to shift fronts and does a good job of keeping you on the run, but you can play the same game against him--shoot up a pill on one end of the front and then run to the other end and start a take.. This will keep him moving back and forth to repair his pills, which can eventually create an opening for you. While he shifts fronts well, he is slow to advance his pills to control an area once he clears the defending pills... The presence of your tank defending an area may dissuade him from pressing forward. His apparent reluctance to attack can allow you to hold an area which should have fallen, giving you time to regroup and restore the situation. He is pretty reckless with his man, sending him on long plants frequently, often through rubble, and sometimes right in your face.. keep your fingers on the ranging keys and you can get a few free pills. Overall, Kax is a good player when he's by himself, or in the mid-game... He's not a good finisher in my experience (takes one to know one)...

Kax is a good player also. However, he needs practice with pillwars and pilltakes. He is skilled, and very good with the 'big picture', but he sometimes doesn't have the tactical skills to acomplish what he needs done. However, Kax can easily work on those and become a much better player. Kax is still very good at taking pills and pillwars, but he could be better.

Another "Swattie In Training!" If Kax keeps it up - he will be very good. Sol and Polar taught him (and beat him up)! My candidate for MOST LIKELY to be a great player. He is learning fast, has most of the skills and just needs more experience which he is getting by playing with Bers and other good players. I think that's prolly all he needs, plus his school connection rather than a modem to play on. The more he plays, the better he will get. He will give anybody a good game. He is good at carrying pills and flanking so don't over commit. Likes to use double blocking pills on his pillbox takes and will shoot your lgm if you aren't careful.
