Personally I really like tall flick shots over a medium distance.

Maybe flick shots are not a good representation of skill but then again, most very high distance airshots are lucky/rely on the opponent not strafing.

But, in fact, some strafes are so common these days that they are predictable so the opponent strafing does not negate all skill from the shot.

Case in point: http://goo.gl/Y1ci ;)

I think the opponent should be airstrafing in an intelligent manner, trying to achieve some goal by the airstrafe. The airshotter should then figure out what the airshottee is going to do, and shoot their rocket accordingly.

I ALSO THINK THIS IS THE BEST AIRSHOT EVER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfXzqI1Mkic&hd=1

I don’t think you’ll find the ‘chubby chaser’ equivalent for airshots. It’s not all opinion, some airshots (like a soldier jumping straight towards your face when you’re standing on spire) aren’t impressive while hitting an airstrafing demo at long-range is.

With regards to airstrafing, I wouldn’t say that an airshot on an opponent who can’t airstrafe (say you hit them directly up) is less impressive because he can’t airstrafe. It does however detract from airshots that are easily avoided with a little bit of strafing magic.
