--re: shofixti removal in bmod as soft pkunk counter Shofixti may not have as large a chance of killing a pkunk in bmod, but I would still use it against a pkunk. Why? Because it lowers the chance of respawn the next time. That is a useful result to put the shofixti towards, so I would still consider it a soft counter. (You would put the reference next to it to indicate it's for "softening up" at a good price, instead of necessarily winning.)

Shofixti is still not really a soft counter to Pkunk, though it qualifies as an odd match yet. Remember it's also been massively nerfed itself, so it has a much smaller chance of actually destroying Pkunk in the first place. Oldlaptop (talk) 03:52, 21 October 2012 (CEST)

--questions about matchups: I have a lot of questions about match-ups. I don't know how a lot of them turn out. Maybe you guys can help inform me, so I/we can better fill out the counter table.
-What is Spathi good against?
-What is Thraddash good against?
-What is Supox good against?

--Who wins?
-Umgah vs. Vux
-Shofixti vs. ilwrath

Ilwrath beats Shofixti, although it probably takes some damage from the Glory Device. Oldlaptop (talk) 03:55, 21 October 2012 (CEST)

--Other questions:
-Does Vux have a chance against pkunk? (e.g. if it's orbiting planet.)
-Is Umgah really a hard counter to Earthling? What if 'ling is speeding from a gravity whip?
-Could slylandro be considered a soft couner to Kohr-Ah? (or interesting matchup?)
-Could Spathi be considered a hard counter vs. Supox, Syreen & Vux? (or, what is meant by Spathi being a counter to flanking ships?)

Would umgah be considered a soft counter for Chmmr? I did quite a lot of damage with one, and was able to avoid the tractor beam by backzipping. Psydev (talk) 09:48, 22 October 2012 (CEST)
