especially when the pillz are relatively even.  Even if they come at you with their most powerful card, don't be afraid.  Turn on fury, and jump in.  Of course you might be called and lose the match right there, but it's a good play nonetheless the majority of the time.  Flipside: a more experienced player may try to read the amount of time you take to make your decision, especially if you are playing first in that round (Round 2, for example).  Think about this ahead of time and plan ahead.  If you are playing 2nd round 1, and can manipulate a 2HKO, think ahead and decide what you want to do before you play your first card - that way, on your next turn, you can make your move quickly and make it much harder to read your plan.  A quick play  can mean many  things: a) they bluffed with no pillz, b) they went all-in, c) they made an alternate play and hoped you would think it was a bluff (and in some other cases) d) they didn't think very long and may have missed a less obvious play).  As I write this though, it makes me realize that there are actually too many nuances to literally describe, as the same can be said for the &amp;quot;slow-play&amp;quot;, where an opponent will wait for the timer to run, in the hopes of making it seem like they were making a tough lengthy decision or had trouble calculating.  OR maybe they just suck at simple math <span class="sprite-smileys mini1_tongue iepng"></span>.  But yeah okay, the main point is, use as many factors as you can to control the match! enjoy<span class="sprite-smileys mini1_good iepng"></span>]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=229043&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com ({carnifex})]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=229043&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[{carnifex}]]></title><pubDate>Thu, 07 Apr 2011 02:22:03 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is playing to the level.  As you play more, you'll tend to notice certain trends depending on the skill level of the player (as has been alluded to already).  I.e. if you see a Lvl.10 player with <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=272" class="characterLink characterID_272">Timber</a>, 3* <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=273" class="characterLink characterID_273">Vansaar</a>, <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=639" class="characterLink characterID_639">Lin Bee</a> and <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=603" class="characterLink characterID_603">Joana</a> (for some reason you see those cards A LOT), you know what to expect.  But that's a bit obvious.  What about when you see a Lvl.20 with mono <a class="clanLink clanID_41" href="/characters/list.php?show=41">Rescue</a>? Or a Lvl.80 running <a class="clanLink clanID_37" href="/characters/list.php?show=37">Nightmare</a>/<a class="clanLink clanID_32" href="/characters/list.php?show=32">GHEIST</a> in T2? While nothing is every certain in this game when it comes to making predictions, experience will tell you when to make certain plays and every bit of input will help.  Some suggestions, but a caveat is required - *don't just go in blindly! I've been beaten by a Lvl12 with <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=269" class="characterLink characterID_269">Ambre</a> in their T2 deck; some players buy cards early or start new accounts and are clearly better than they appear* Anyways:<br />
- If you are going first, Round 1: If you have an excellent attacking card such as <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=436" class="characterLink characterID_436">Shakra</a> or Jackie, a bluff is smart move against a lower level opponent.  They are more likely to give up and single pill or alternatively will pill like crazy and hand you the game.  Flipside: if you are playing what seems to be a more experienced player, I would elect to mid-bluff (3-5 pills).  They may assume you will charge in with 6-7 on your nuke and hold back, or they will try to counter bluff you.  Put it in the middle range and reap the benefits.<br />
- Go for the 2HKO!: against lower level players, they will rarely pill up to counter your 2HKO]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=229043&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com ({carnifex})]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=229043&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[God333_UM]]></title><pubDate>Mon, 08 Nov 2010 04:43:24 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=529" class="characterLink characterID_529">Cyan</a> is a decent card.<br />

If the card has a low damage (1-3) and has a damage reduction skill then its most likely deffensive. Mostly these cards are played in responce to a card you play (probly with high damage) but occasionally you find a guy who plays it first..and in that case its really obvious and you can get thru usually with barely any pillz...but if you do...youre damage is reduced lol (duh). What i try to do is put like 2 pillz on an SOA if ive got one cause they usually dont pill DRs much (exeptions are cards from like clans with attack subtractions like sakhrom and <a class="clanLink clanID_3" href="/characters/list.php?show=3">Montana</a>)<br />
<br />
   Another type of deffensive can be faking, which is just to get you to burn up a bunch of pillz. For instance, <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=520" class="characterLink characterID_520">Trey</a> from <a class="clanLink clanID_42" href="/characters/list.php?show=42">Piranas</a> ... no one wants to underpill him, so you use a bunch of pillz to stop him and a high powered card only to find he didnt use any and you could have beaten him with like two pillz. Try to be wary of when they use cards like <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=520" class="characterLink characterID_520">Trey</a> and <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=288" class="characterLink characterID_288">Mojo</a> on the first turn...because it makes it seem a bit more obvious what they are planning...and why would they want to seem obvious? (Unless they WANT you to see it and burn pillz)<br />
<br />
     It may be hard to decipher exactly what they are planning, but try to use perspective, like can they win without the card or not.<br />
(If they can't then they are probly desperate...if they can then they just want alot more pillz than you). Even you're hand could help with that because if you have really great cards then they may be more desperate. Anyways, good luck.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=229043&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (DiversityRA)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=229043&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genocide2099]]></title><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2009 06:52:13 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Okaaaay.
