I think the Star Cup is a complete fraud and here is why:
1) After lots of ,battles’ I played the pattern becomes pretty clear: If you don’t use any power ups (except the free one), you will probably lose the battle. But if you use all power ups, with a chance of over 90 % you will win the round. Of course they were quick at Rovio to include those TNT boxes into this calculation – more money for them.
2) I put battle in quotation marks because I don’t think you compete against scores from other users. The similarity to your own score, regardless of your level, is always too obvious. If I yield 1,000 points with my first shot the ,opponent’ will have 1,100. If I have 480,000, it will have 500,000 and so on. These are fixed scores based on your own score (that’s why you never see the complete score of your opponent before you fired all birds).
3) The level system doesn’t have any effect on your chances because the above points always remain the same. Whether my bird is at level 10 or 50 seems to be completely irrelevant. I never played opponents who were significantly above or beyond my own level because the close scores always remained the same. Don’t put any coins into feathers (in the store) – it doesn’t matter.
I really miss the early days when there were no stupid money-sucking power ups, just plain honest scores to compete with.
