I am the very model of an overpowered splattercat,
I've blasted ravens, trebuchets, highlanders and cataphract,
I know the weapon hardpoints, and i dodge them like an acrobat,
From PPCs to UACs, I yawn at like the grumpy cat.

I'm rather highly modified, with XL that i think is phat,
I understand heat tables, both with single and/or double stat,
About heat management in battle, I am failing with not shutting down,
With lots of cheerful moments where I'm powered down just like a clown.


...this is all true!

Witty... wrong but witty.

Streaking all day, baby!

[Cryptozoology]

are babbies still pooping themselves about splatcats?

[LordBraxton]

SRMs suck now but the splatcat is still OK because it was so strong before, far from OP now.

I HATE the A1 only because...

All other mechs that carried SRMs got the nerf hammer to the face because of this ugly mech, and SRMs\Brawling left the game overnight.

[Royalewithcheese]

A1 hate is like soooo early March.

[Denno]

The past stench of FOTM still wafts around them and they must be punished. Like the Strk Cats of yore. Arm and leg is the minimal punishment (assuming I have the time). I will admit the AC40 Jaeger gets my attention very quickly now too.

Seems to me like you hate fun friend, hows that working out ? ? ??

[Agent KI7KO]

I wasn't aware SRM Cats were no longer that great, just that someone on the other team complained at the start of a match two days ago that "he hated cheesy builds like DualAc/20s but at least Splattercats are extinct right now".

I proceeded to correct him by saying that the ones still around are the faster ones with JJ and proceeded to demonstrate, though with a C4 4xSRM6.

I've been humming "I am the very model of an overpowered splattercat" ever since.

EDIT: I've used streaks once. Exactly once. Not a fan. Too few missiles = not enough dakka.

CATS!

And I was just thinking that there was a real dearth of show tunes on the forums.

I was thinking this was an ode to the lost days of the A1 by the thread title. I've been a long time pilot of the A1, but it is my only 'mech collecting kilos of dust.

The lack of HSW makes it frustrating when you alpha-splat a 'mech, all the missles hit, but it does 0 damage. Full alpha to chest, miss after miss. You have to account for your ping, their ping, and the slow missile speed, making half/total misses count as full hits.

Play with SRMs for half a year, and you'll have it down. Except when the server decides to eat all the damage, for magical reasons.

[Shazarad]

Your A1 died in the fire that it should have.

[Dishevel]

I have never found a payer that could play this game that bitched about A1 splatcats.
Sure. They get me here and there. When they do it is my fault. I screwed up.
The fact is if every time you see a splatcat they kill you ...
You are doing something wrong.

He goofed the number of beats in the third line of the second verse/stanza, but I really enjoyed this.

Gilbert & Sullivan were sadistic asshats... that is all.

[hammerreborn]

I've seen streakcats on the rise. I guess seeing ravens blow up so nicely and everyone heading to the jagers they're coming back into style.

Scary as **** when they pop over the ledge in td while you're capping.

Look ma, no hands!
