Arilou's aren't effected by the gravity whip. So you can use the planet as a shield.
And that's all I got to say about that.

The Spathi's shape and speed allow it to very effectively steer slow enemies by ramming them.  Into planets, or steer the Mycon into their own shots, or even just disorienting them.  Plus your gun is attached to them.
How is it that I can beat the Sa-Matra with one Fury, but I can't beat a Marauder with an Avatar?

Yup, that is one sweet guide. If you want t compete Nuclear, you need to spend a lot of time playing NetMelee and learning al the tricks.
Round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows

Owned?! Never! My invincable army of Utwig/ZFP/Androsynth/Slylandro can "own" any (computer) opponent. Be sure to check my intro thread as to why Its impossible to own me in the first place.   :(

Beating the computer is meaningless. Fighting other players is the only metric worth talking about.

Shiver isn't a computer though (or at least I assume so).  Shiver are you a computer?  Can you pass the turing test?

I haven't touched my PSP in so long I don't think I even know where it is.  Don't remember how to do anything with it.  >.>
