Matching the height of your opponent's cannonballs is the best and most underrated naval tip. You can basically get twice the feedback to dial in your cannons for free.
Man if i could actually get a match in hourglass then this would be great info. Im actually going to look over this video again because you explain things very well
Great vídeo, so basically the biggest thing i learned is, dont panic with water level in ur ship, but keep an eye on it, and when u are in a more calm scenario, then u may repair. I always strugle with the repair and water anxiety so this helps a lot😮
Became a helm and working on gold skelly i was already a solid helm but these videos have made me so much better went from selling every 4 to selling every 10 good stuff thanks alot.
Personally I don't take orbitals that are far away, I'll full sail into something close that way it's harder for the guy to peel out if they get masted / in a losing position. W video as always big spong
1:34 I didn’t even know that was a thing. You can block chainshots with your body? I always assumed all cannonball types just go through you when they hit you.
Solo is just painful, did that for 700 levels in hourglass, would I recommend it? Yes and no, it’s just bad sometimes and depends on luck in some situations.
@@massivesponge well if u have multiple holes on both sides, its a gg bc u can't stop bucketing/ need to bucket a lot which drops the pressure a lot. u will 100% lose if the enemy doesnt whiff this very hard
@@massivesponge just tried hourglass for the first time and tried to do everything you explained in the video but it didnt matter im just so bad i want to just uninstall
Helpful video. I’m at a point where I can win vast majority of 1v1s but 1v2 is impossible for me unless they are bad. I’m not precise enough on cannons to hit wheel/enemy cannon on demand. Any advice specifically for 1v2 that’s different than 1v1?
hello, i'm new to hourglass, i tried some fights as a solo, but i noticed a couple of times the fight being a duo vs me as a solo... i'm reading everywhere that hourglass fights should be same size and same crew, unless you are doing a champion battle.... is there something i'm missing? my first thought was maybie i was fighting and the enemy got support either because he was on open crew or gild crew... but i don't know, i'm not informed enough on the matter. Thanks in advance, have a good day.
Love your videos. I got nothing but gg’s for opponents who are better. But, last night ran into a crew who were making fun of autism when I have an autistic son who plays. That’s a real shit move, and I applaud you for being one of the most civil on the seas while deadliest.
Is there some advantage to having graphics turned so low other than just maxing fps? My graphics are all turned up and it looks like a completely different game
@@massivesponge okay thanks, at your skill level i can see that being helpful 🙂 Btw, one friend and I have been playing consistently for 10 days now, is there any point buying a brig or galleon?
How can I supply several chainshots without losing so much time for the first fight, because I understand that you have them for winning so many in a row. But on a newly spawned ship?
@@massivesponge 😆it was such a boring game i won so i cant send it, bro tried to keg me and than i killed him and his ship went out of bounds while i bucketed and repaird lmao
@@massivesponge thanks! Perhaps I'll send one sometime. I currently get .29 to 3 Mbps on my PC. So most of the time I'm lagging horribly. Not a skill issue...
i feel like im doing everything right but i can barely hit a 3 streak. last week i spent around 12 hours doing hourglass and only leveled up about 5 times. im stuck in a loop of leveling up once per day and i really dont wanna spend the next year just trying to get 1 curse.
Jesus, how do you know when repair? You just bucket 2 times and go back to cannons, then you took more 2 shoots and still doing 2~3 buckets? Are you expecialist on sound and know when he hits tier 2~3 shots or what?
Diving is too annoying look how stressful this fight was. Best strat is to sit at a completed seafort and wait for invades they will sail right into the seafort cannons
@@massivesponge people will also pull up and put up hg sometimes. also there's no afk check while hg is up so you can do stuff around the house while waiting
It's over. I've been caught losing in hourglass.
Nice try mate you got some goood stuffs i wish i grinded my TSD as well
you wont live this down
You should be honored lmao
When someone lands this many shots, it's very hard to bounce back!
Don't worry mate, you lost to spong boi, pretty much 99% of folks would lose anyway =D
Verbalizing your thought process really helps. Pirates will actually understand why things are done when they are done.
That’s the goal :)
instructions unclear. i am being spawncamped by a gallion
U don’t wanna do that

Ok! what you want to do is dc.

Indeed
Can you elaborate? I don’t really understand how your enemy’s shots can help with your shots?
@@niko6824 if they're hitting you, then matching that arc should hit them. if they're going over you, a lower arc will hit them, etc.

How come your cannons are different colours to each other?

Solo is just painful, did that for 700 levels in hourglass, would I recommend it? Yes and no, it’s just bad sometimes and depends on luck in some situations.
yup. once u get deathspiraled or oneballed, ur done :(
it not over when ur getting spiralled, comebacks are very real, just dont give up, solo is based
@@massivesponge well if u have multiple holes on both sides, its a gg bc u can't stop bucketing/ need to bucket a lot which drops the pressure a lot. u will 100% lose if the enemy doesnt whiff this very hard
Catching your mast looked like one of the most substantial things you did. That's was cool to watch
Whart
Dude! This is so helpful!
2:00 howd you do that quick animation second bucket?
I don’t actually do anything faster, I just sprint cancel but it doesn’t change anything
Very helpful. First game vs 2 brigs and 1 solo sloop alliance had fun :')

Also, why the HELL do blundies knock ships into the direction of sea dogs? I’ve known about that for a while but What the hell kinda meta is that?
It just be like that
Sea dogs is at the direct center of the map, and blunders always knock ships toward the center, so people use sea dogs as a reference
how were you swimming so fast that you could dive up out of the water and spin at the end when you jumped off his ship?

good shit

cursed water? in your settings video you had it on rare. could you make an updated settings vid?
Sometimes I rock different settings, I cover explanations for the settings in graphics settings guide
My solo fights people never respect the left side circle fight. The amount of over-helming is crazy and hard to keep up with.

hey sponge, i was wondering why are you playing on low graphic settings? is there any advantage?

The reason why he has so low graphics is because it is easier to see players in the water.

“Sea dogs is that way, and blunder bombs move boats that way” … so wait. Blunderbombs move boats towards seadogs? That is so weird
Real, shits weird
I believe it’s because sea dogs is at the direct center of the map, and blunder bombs always knock the boat towards center (which is sea dogs)
What exactly does vod mean?
