Arena same bird on deck. How?

[Dan]

Playing angrybirds2 arena, we both have 7 cards.  But opponent have 4 facedown and 2 bombs birds + chuck cards faceup.  In another battle, opponent have 2 terance + red cards faceup. How is this possible?

You’re playing against a recording. You are seeing which cards they play next. They filled their meter, got the same bird back and used it again back to back.

They filled their meter, got the same bird back and used it again back to back.

Have you ever been able to do that with more than 3 birds left?  No, because once you fling a bird, a face down card turns up to fill the vacancy.  When you get the flung bird back, it goes into the face down pile.  The only way you can do what you describe is when you have 3 or less when you fling.

Exactly. 2x the same bird should be impossible. If you don’t believe that something fishy is going on, take a look at this:

One theory is that since we are playing against prerecorded runs from others, they may have mixed up the rooms a little. That means if someone flings two Bombs after another he may have used it e.g. in rooms 2 and 5 but in our runs they got mixed up and it’s room 1 and 2 now.

But that’s just a wild guess. Could be completely random what bird is displayed. And tbh as long as they get reasonable scores I don’t care.

Mzimoxs – that situation with three in a row in unusual, but mainly because of when in the game it’s come. Two in a row is not unusual at all. I’ve see three in a row (always bombs!) quite frequently as the last three birds for an opponent – their last regular bird is a bomb, they fill the desctructometer with it and… get another bomb, and then they watch a free video… and get another bomb. Naturally, the number of times I’ve had that luck is too low ;). It can also happen as the first three birds – they use bomb first and get a bird-back (which will be bomb) and then that card comes in as their third one, so they fling another bomb and fill the desctructometer again, getting back a third bomb. Keep in mind the first couple of “bird-backs” you get do NOT go at the end of your pile.

Where it’s unusual is that this happened after the first bird has been flung (as opponent only has 6 cards, so actually probably 3-4 birds in). So the chances of exactly filling the destructometer twice are a bit slim, and exactly getting bomb back twice (rather than another missing bird).
