Why E-Style?

Here are the words of the E-Style authority himself:

Why use a style where one has a disadvantage, by its very definition?

Games are about having fun, not winning.

E-style actually gives an advantage. The same kind of advantage D-style enjoyed before every attention seeking whore in this forum began using it. People don't know how to fight it properly. But that's not the only thing, E-stylers can focus more on maximum efficiency and plain damage/dodging. It's more "pure" and free of "bull****".

Tell me when a beginner channel newb posed more of a threat than someone who's decent at k-styling.

Yes, because once you start using glitches, it's impossible to tumble/use a rifle/aim.

Alright, here we go.
Go on CWNA, find someone in the lobby to 1v1.
Get a rifle and have your opponent use shotguns.
Post result here.

$50 says you lose.

$50 says he doesn't come back to read your post because he doesn't care unlike you.

GOOD GAME.

Well, people E-Style because it's easier in a way.

If you play the E-Style (default) way, you won't really use glitches (save maybe, wall cancel). In other words, you won't have to keep moving your fingers very quickly as a result of pressing multiple buttons in a very short time. This (K-Style) can be difficult or tiring to some players, though players can train that to a good level. While learning K-Style glitches, players would probably have to re-learn some techniques, such as aiming. Try half-stepping. Initially, your aim would be crap, but after you've learnt half-step better and some practice, you can aim your shots better.

IMO, other than being simple, E-Style actually builds up on thinking and some skills a bit more than K-Style. I mean, for K-Style, just spamming the same moves over and over can get so many kills, so there isn't much thinking involved. For E-Style, you have to think carefully and aim well, because in this case, you are at the disadvantage in terms of everything: Mobility, Speed, Damage, Defense. Now the only thing you can do is to either join them by using K-Style yourself, or outwit or outaim them. There are many K-Stylers, but they tend to do similar things over and over again, so there's in a way, a pattern to observe and take advantage of. But then again, which K-Styler doesn't think, change their tactics etc unless they are complete idiots who only know how to spam?



In conclusion, K-Style is superior, but it has a huge learning curve initially. E-Style is just an easy way out (best for non-competitive games), which is more relaxing at least.

I often just screw around and go double rifles, and just tumble the whole round in TDMs.

It works wonders when you have support from teammates.. or if you have the SWT.

people motivate themselves to play a game in different ways.

No, E-Style anything but fun. E-Stylers don't have fun when opponents don't die when they clearly are supposed to.

For E-Style, you have to think carefully and aim well, because in this case, you are at the disadvantage in terms of everything: Mobility, Speed, Damage, Defense. Now the only thing you can do is to either join them by using K-Style yourself, or outwit or outaim them.

Here's the thing. Mobility. It might seem like aim is the most important thing in GunZ. No, mobility is. Because of this ping rigmarole, aiming and leading is DIFFICULT and LABORIOUS. I am tired of out-moving, out-witting, and out-aiming an opponent all at the same time and still getting killed... just because he was able to move around faster and outlast me.

Exactly, K-Stylers (and D-Stylers) have the same arsenal of techniques as E-Stylers, plus their glitches.

In conclusion, K-Style is superior, but it has a huge learning curve initially. E-Style is just an easy way out (best for non-competitive games), which is more relaxing at least.

It's hardly relaxing when a player who has a clear advantage gloats over killing an E-Styler. It's hardly relaxing when one's main method of killing is so unreliable.

Unfortunately, lots of K-stylers tend to do that.

When you do less, you do it better.
