How often do you get into impossible match ups? I don't mean ones that you're going to lose. I mean ones where noone can win?
Like Yehat vs Spathi Arloo vs Ilwrath ZFP vs Umgah or anyone vs a comp controlled Arloo (Darned warp)

The fact thats its easy to win, doesn't mean its impossible for the other side to do so. Of corse this depends if your aponent is human or not.
"Arilo VS Mycon": If he's human, they can try and surprise the careless Arilo pilot with a plasmoid when he's in front of him, since they're quite fast on a small scale.
"Mycon VS Yehat\Utwig": Try ANY ship aside of Shofixti against AI Yehat. They can put on they're damn shield 23 damn hours of the damn day!
"Mmrnmrm VS Utwig": Who can't win here? If your Mmrnhrmm VS AI Utwig then you can just shot missils until there's no shield left. If your Utwig then you use a planet warp and fill your batteries when the stupid AI fires lasers at you, though its not easy, Its not impossible.

Devouring Spathi Since 2152

Anyone with medium range and speed cannot be beaten by the Vux without a really lucky warp-in.
EG: Spathi, Supox, Earthling, etc...

Although there's a few "no-chance" matchups, usually you have to get good at the ship and actually try the matchup. I keep finding I can put a serious dent in anything else with anything I have if I just try it and try to be good with the ship. A lot of it is melee skill too - if you want to improve that, there's lots of suggested matches in this board, but the good starter is either Arilou or ZFP (you) vs. Mycon.
There's always a way if you look for it....and shocking wins. My latest is actually beating a Chmmr AI ship (at full power) with a Mycon.
A lot of it too is patience...I have a hard time with that, so in a way knowing I can win is enough on some things (like Spathi (me) vs. Chmmr...I can win everytime but it takes 10 minutes to do so )

Earthling I agree, but I can routinely beat a Spathi or Supox with the VUX...at least with the AI.
That's kind of a problem with talking about "impossible matches"....they may be impossible for you but might be quite possible for someone else (of course if you consider the AI there's some stupid things it does, but I always thought the Spathi and Supox were pretty well programmed).

a really neat trick when you go get talking pet from the umgah and when you fight them use the arilou skiff hide under the south pole with the skiff you know stay near hug planet and when umgah ship goes by fire danger ( becarefull of falling rocks) i think it works with 3DO joy stick does a computer have a joy stick like 3DO had

The ONLY impossible fight I can make up is Earthling vs. Chmmr, when it has all satellites on place. But even then, there is a slim chance (A VERY SLIM) to win one but would take too much patience ... (try to shoot the satellites, and get speed from the planet). Well, okay. Mycon vs. Yehat is quite impossible.
The others like Slylandro vs. Ilwrath, Mycon vs. Utwig, Arilou vs. Mycon etc. are not impossible, some are just hard, some are easy. (Arilou vs. Mycon is easy.)
After having a conversation with my bro there are other almost impossible matches: Umgah vs. Avatar, VUX vs. Ur-Quan, Chmmr vs. Utwig and ... with Shofixti almost everyone is a tough one.

I haven't seen any impossible match ups. Everyone's listed matchups where one side over powers the other. I started this thread thinking about where neither has the advantage. Aren't there a few matchups like that? Earthling Vs Spathi or Mycon vs Syreen
Sure, you could win one side or the other eventually, but it takes forever.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Mycon vs Syreen is HARDLY an even fight. Not impossible, but hardly even either.
