Ugh, everyone needs to stop abusing relativity!!!
Ok, to start off, HugS is perfectly correct here. We do suck. It all has to do with the concept of floor and ceiling. Right now we are at the floor of the game. There is a lot of construction to be done until we can work on the ceiling. (For those not following the metaphor, we still have no idea about the depth of this game as it is constantly being discovered.) Now, you can't say, "But if you think like that nobody will ever be a pro!" This statement ignores the ceiling concept, as there is a limit to the amount that can be discovered/learned. The discoveries are going to come in a basic shape, which would be a steep slope that gradually starts to get less steep. Once we see the slope getting less steep, (i.e. we really start to slow down on the discovery of new things) then we can start making judgments about who is "pro" and who isn't. And this curve of learning WILL happen, I can guarantee it. Basically, it has to do with the nature of learning. The more time we spend playing brawl the more we learn, AND THE LESS THERE IS DO DISCOVER. This makes it much more difficult/unlikely to discover new aspects of the game. Things always go like this, which is why companies of online games now frequently add downloadable content/expansions to games. They push the ceiling higher and alter the learning curve again. Basically, we just have to discover stuff and be objective. Nothing is GOOD. Things are only NEW. Sure, we may think that technique x is the greatest in the world, but we do not know it. We just know there is something else out there. This is basically what HugS is saying. You can't jump to conclusions about person x being good because he is nowhere near as good as the ceiling level, which we will eventually get close enough to so the metagame stabilizes. Wait until that happens to make judgements.
Oh, and as far as this thread not being needed, it absolutely is. The people arguing that we suck are (mostly) the ones who understand the concept? What kind of logic is that! HugS directed this because there are people who go around making comments about people being GREAT at Brawl. Don't bother posting in the thread if you already know it makes sense, everybody who is not making ridiculous comments gets that.
Finally, people are getting too stuck on one comment of HugS' post. "We all suck at Brawl." That is not even close to being everything he said. Before you go saying his entire argument is flawed because of one comment, read the entire post.
