I'm going to start trolling every time I get wobbled. Instead of letting them just take one stock, I'll let them have the game after I get grabbed. Melee means too much to me to even humor someone who believes this is truly fair play. Armada is one of he best players in the game today. The average player shouldn't base their feelings off his. The argument that "wobbling is boring" is only opinion. I think it is boring, but boring is not why things become banned in a competitive video game. Banning occurs when the COMMUNITY believes something is "broken" or "gives the player a totally unfair advantage".
I spend hours and hours and hours playing this game, every week. I watch VOD's. I spend time here, on Smashboards. I play friendlies with a guy who's been in the scene for 10 years.
My practice partner used to play with PPMD, all the damn time. I play Captain Falcon, my practice partner plays Falco. As someone who has been playing a significant amount of time less than this guy, I have a really hard time with this match-up. In fact, he's told me that the only time he beat PP was when PP played Falcon. And he only took 2 games.
I repeat, out of thousands and thousands of friendlies with PPMD, my practice partner only beat his Captain Falcon TWO TIMES. If you've been following along you know now that I'm playing a person who is at a significant advantage over me. He puts me in 0-death combos like you wouldn't believe, and I'm not bad at DI at all.
My point here is...
Even though I'm playing a losing match-up (Falcon vs Falco)...
Even though I'm playing a guy who could beat PPMD in this match-up...
Even though I'm playing against a guy who's played this game 5X longer than me...
Even though I'VE ONLY BEATEN HIM TWICE... IN FALCON DITTOS...
..... I'm still playing....
... Even when he's camping lasers, I'm still playing. I'm practicing my power-shields.
... Even when I'm getting pillar combo'd to oblivion, I'm still playing. I'm practicing my SDI and tech mix-ups.
... Even when I miss my single opportunity to punish, and he kills me for it, I'm still playing. I'm Practicing frame perfect execution.
The people love this game because we always have a chance. There's always the opportunity to DI or tech in ANY 'combo' --- INCLUDING CHAIN-GRABS AND TECH CHASING ...except wobbling....
What do I do besides give a little Hbox dance when they grab me? Should I press A along with them?
IC's mains who CHOOSE TO WOBBLE, be warned. I am better than most of you. But you will win. The second you get a wobble, the game is yours. I know you need to win more than me. I have too much fun playing this game to care about winning against something so flawed.
