Re: flower v all star
The grouping must be loose and fluid, or else the group continually falls prey to imp punts. On certain maps, there are great places for a sunflower team to bunch up safely, but on other maps not so much. I found frontline flats and boney island to be very good for the sunflowers, aqua center seemed to strongly favor the all stars.
I've done enough games for 50 stars now, and found wins about evenly split. On one sunflower team, we gave them a solid thrashing on Boney Island. Like most of these portal events, it mostly seems to come down to which team has more players who understand how to approach their characters and their enemies.
This was a good opportunity for me to get started on golf star, who I haven't really played yet.
