Well, if in Black Ops 2 there's many trickshots a player can do, why not in Marble Blast?

I'm not talking about wall-hits, edge-hits, gem steals or whatever you want. No, those ones are rather easy enough.
I'm talking about trickshots which can literally spice up a multiplayer match, or even make Matan go nuts, the kind of trickshots Xelna would do with little difficulty.
In Black Ops 2, do you all know the 360-no-scope trick? Well, I got an idea of a beautiful trickshot: the 360 (blue) gem steal. All you need is a Speed Booster and a good spot. Jump from your spot, make the camera turn 360 degrees with your mouse while in mid-air and quickly steal the gem. You can try the rotation with the keyboard arrows, but since the rotation of the camera is way slower using the arrows, it really really complicates things. If any of you could get that on camera, that would be awesome.

Any other suggestions of trickshots?

You forget a thousand things everyday. Make sure Marble Blast isn't one of 'em.

Have to say I don't like this idea, it will take away from the skill of the game. All you have to do is learn how to do a few moves and then you'll be able to beat much better players with a cheap maneuver. And plus - edgehits, wallhits, and gemsteals are not easy to do consistently. Consistency is huge in multiplayer. It takes loads of practice to develop your ability to judge how far you'll go with a speed booster off a ramp and even more time to bring your edgehitting consistency to a level high enough for it to be safe to use in a game.

Okay, Frost, I understand your point of view. And next time I'll keep my mouth shut, if it's to say that edge-hitting is easy. :)

At least, I proposed something. And it failed. Like always. :(

Naw, don't worry Ralph. Frosty can sometimes come off a bit harsh or forget to reassure people, but he always means well. This could be something fun to do in a non-real match, but it doesn't help much when you're playing serious. Nice idea though! And you've had plenty of other great ideas that worked, so don't worry.

After my spires demo I think dushine will have a word with you about that
