2v2 suggestion!

Yea it can work, but if your opponents scout it or hard rush you you're sunk. I find it hard to believe that your opponents never see the mobi coming =/ Also with coordinated aggression, 2v1 should be easy for your opponents. I feel like they must not be attacking correctly. Do you have any replays? I'd be interested to see if this kind of strategy can actually work against good players.

Usually in my 2v2s our opponents are nearly always extremely aggressive. The games always come down to us holding off their initial attack and then cleaning up what few units they have after we shut it down. Never any need to get out a special. Perhaps as the game evolves other teams will be more defensive even with FTA and then the games will drag on long enough to warrant special units. Haven't seen this so far though.

I pretty much agree with everything you've said and have seen much of the same. I have had some success when using a super here and there but I basically only bring them out to have fun and mix it up. If I do win with a super it always feels lucky and it's always by the hair of my chin. See my post of a game vs Swimj in the Share thread for an example. We were getting dominated and dead on the next turn, when I was able to sneak mobi in with a sniper. Other than that match, and a couple with a turtled brain, I never find the wits or breathing room to pull a super off. 2v2 is just too aggressive in nature to be able to essentially surrender an entire turn. Working on one now where I brought out mobi very late in the game. I'll post, win or lose, when it's finished.
