After reflection, my last post about the skill gap in CF seems to mostly focus on the knowledge gap. In fact it seems that most of those discussions eventually end up there... What I really wanted to focus on, but was distracted from, is the skill gap.

What would we need to put in the hands of a new player for them to have the skills to enjoy their time? By skill I mean something like Marcus' ability to chase. This isn't a question on knowledge (mostly), and having been on the bad end of it before, it is truly frightening. Even without windwalk I've felt like he was getting 2 commands to my 1 when getting away... So where are those gaps that we could narrow?
