Actually, the chance to roll doubles is 1/6. But that's not the point. |

Well... actually... if you think of it that way you only have 10/36 to roll double since 5+5 and 6+6 can be used for better stuff
EDIT: Eh, yeah, it should be 6/36 (or 4/36 if you remove 5+5 and 6+6). |

LOL. I was gonna offer real advice and then saw this. Fama, you are so wrong I know it, and I suck at math! To calculate the odds of two seperate events occuring similtaneously, one multiplies the odds of each occuring on it's own, hence 1/36. (6*6=36).
On a more relavent note, SF is a must! Either SF and MA or SF and SF. |

Yes, Macavity... YOU are so wrong :p
The chances of rolling doubles are really 1/6, because the first dice can be anything, it is the second dice that needs to match the first, which occurs only once on its 6 squares.
Or to put it differently: write down all combinations you could throw with 2 dice. Count all doubles and then divide by 36 (the number of all different possibilities).
BY the way, SF is the way to go on both IMO. |

Yes, chance of rolling double-something is 1/36. But taking into account that the double roll can be 1,2,3,4,5 or 6, it's 6*1/36, or 1/6. Rolling +st is 1/36 tho... Mmm... +st...
Edit: On the topic... MA is always good, but SF is GREAT. I'd say SF/ma or sf/sf.
I like pie. |

So.. I DO suck at math. The world spins again.... Though I'll wait for sk8bcn or Christer for the final word. I know smart sounding people when I hear them! |

Go for SF on both. I had the same trouble with this team http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=206598 and even though I only played 1 game with the new skills the sf was by far the best skill. |

Smart sounding people often are smart, sometimes they just pretend. I would fall in the latter category. on those rare occasions, when I sound smart. |

I would take MA on both, MA6 - MA7 is a Huge difference, otherwise maybe MA + SF. |

I agree that SF+hypno is a very nice combo, but also pass makes your options wider: the SF guy can dodge through and you can pass to him with the other guy. imho pass is idd a nice bonus to a team which needs to save RRs for OFAB. |

I'd go Pass/SF, or SF/SF. |
