Hurt and Heal

[Minim]

ROCKY VI 0 [-1] (Had enough of capital letters anyway)
Scaling the Heights 3 [+1]
This Corrosion 2 [-1]

[Akseli]

Scaling the Heights 1 [-2]
This Corrosion 3 [+1]

[ccexplore]

Nuts, I missed the double-elimination due to busy days at work.  Then again I'm not sure if I would've done it, as I'm more indifferent to This Corrosion compared to apparently many people here. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/undecided.gif" alt=":-\" title="Undecided" class="smiley" />

On that note:

Scaling the Heights 2 [+1]
This Corrosion 1 [-2]

[Proxima]

Makes sense, as I think you were the first to find the steel-digging backroute? But now that playing it in Lix prevents that, it is returned to its glory as one of the best puzzle levels. Therefore:

Scaling the Heights 0 [-2]
This Corrosion 2 [+1]

Shall I choose next again, or does someone else want a turn?

[Clam]

Let's take one turn each until there are no volunteers.

FAN! I choose the fanning skills from Lemmings 2. The ordering is taken from the practice mode selection screen.

There are more items than the last two rounds, so we'll start each with 5 points.

Ballooner: 5
Magic Carpet: 5
Surfer: 5
Parachuter: 5
Jet Pack: 5
Twister: 5
Icarus Wings: 5
Hang Glider: 5

[Proxima]

My exposure to Lemmings 2 is limited to a couple of visits to friends when I was a kid, but I do remember how obnoxiously difficult it was to control the Twister, so....

Ballooner: 5
Magic Carpet: 5
Surfer: 5
Parachuter: 6 [+1]
Jet Pack: 5
Twister: 3 [-2]
Icarus Wings: 5
Hang Glider: 5

[ccexplore]

For reference, the Lemmings Encyclopedia has a brief description of each Lemmings 2 skill http://tle.vaarties.nl/lemmings2/gameplay/" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">here.  Granted, it won't tell you anything about maneuverability and the like......

+1 to twister only because it reminds me of Clam's neat custom Lemmings 2 level featuring 1 single twister for the entire level.
As for hurts, hmm...so many choices, I think I'll spread it out this time.

Ballooner: 5
Magic Carpet: 4 [-1]
Surfer: 5
Parachuter: 6
Jet Pack: 4 [-1]
Twister: 4 [+1]
Icarus Wings: 5
Hang Glider: 5

[grams88]

Ballooner: 5
Magic Carpet: 2 (-2)
Surfer: 5
Parachuter: 6
Jet Pack: 4
Twister: 5 (+1)
Icarus Wings: 5
Hang Glider: 5

One of my favorite levels in the game is Level 9 from the shadow tribe, this level was called (Spinny Thang) which involved good use of using the twister to escape.

The magic carpet skill would probably be my least favorite because of being hard to control but that's what makes the game fun.

By the way there's been a lets play of lemmings two the tribes, been watching it myself.  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" />

Quite an innovative idea to choose skills instead of levels!

Ballooner: 6 (+1)
Magic Carpet: 0 (-2)
Surfer: 5
Parachuter: 6
Jet Pack: 4
Twister: 5
Icarus Wings: 5
Hang Glider: 5

I haven't played much L2, but I remember how hard it was controlling the carpet. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/angry.gif" alt=">" title="Angry" class="smiley" /> That circus level was so annoying.

Ballooner: 6
Surfer: 3 [-2] <-- it's too much like kayaker
Parachuter: 6
Jet Pack: 4
Twister: 5
Icarus Wings: 6 [+1]
Hang Glider: 5

[Clam]

Ballooner: 6
Surfer: 3
Parachuter: 4 [-2] (because it sways uselessly from side to side making it land in bad places)
Jet Pack: 4
Twister: 5
Icarus Wings: 6
Hang Glider: 6 [+1]

[Simon]

Ballooner: 6
Surfer: 3
Parachuter: 4
Jet Pack: 4
Twister: 3 [-2]
Icarus Wings: 6
Hang Glider: 7 [+1] Yah, hang glider very good.

+1 this time goes to the Surfer, but only because of this http://www.lemmingsforums.com/index.php?topic=199.msg14546#msg14546" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">dramatic glitch.  Otherwise yeah it seems pretty useless.

-1x2 this time goes to...(throws dice)...hang glider and parachuter.  Nothing horribly wrong with hang glider, but by comparison the Icarus Wings seem slightly more versatile (IIRC it allows for change in left/right direction unlike hang glider, plus it is slower and not subjected to gravity IIRC).  Parachuter Clam already explained.

Ballooner: 6
Surfer: 4 [+1]
Parachuter: 3 [-1]
Jet Pack: 4
Twister: 3
Icarus Wings: 6
Hang Glider: 6 [-1]

Funny how skills generate discussion now, when the levels didn't http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />. Do we need a Skills Review topic to go with the level reviews?

Ballooner: 7 [+1 for working perfectly well IN SPACE despite the low gravity and air pressure]
Surfer: 3 [-1 for having a time limit, which as we all know is a very bad thing]
Parachuter: 3
Jet Pack: 3 [-1 for the same reason]
Twister: 3
Icarus Wings: 6
Hang Glider: 6
