The level design is dumb imo
We can't be friends.
Edit:
And you're just bad.
. . .
So I just got home from my first local. I had a really bad tournament experience for Brawl when I was younger (attacked a kid,) and have since then avoided putting myself in the scene. But today I broke out of my shell and decided to face my fears rather than doing HD Ganon stuff for Dolphin. Sorry,
@Nanobuds. Btw, no one there knew who you were. I was amazed. (they all begged me for Awakening Roy tho lol) Also
@Layell, someone first thought HD Green Sigurd Marth was a Power Ranger. No joke.
Which brings me to another thing. I was the only one there out of ~40 or so people running a more professional modded build. Most of them had (IMO garbage) custom music and one or two skins, but that was it. At first I was a bit worried that they were all strictly against any sort of modding, but then I found out that the majority of them were simply ignorant to the practice which was absolutely astounding to me. Responses to my current WIP Dolphin build ranged from, "Oh, that's cool." to, "Whoa dude that's awesome! You should put it out there for everyone!" to "Can you show me how to do that?" That made my night.
The whole ordeal was a very vexing experience. I (surprisingly) had a lot of fun and heard a wide number of opinions on the state of PM in regards to its current stage rule sets. Many people were wearing headphones because they were bored of the limited soundtrack thanks to the limited stages. The TOs are open to having new custom stages on the roster but are also under the impression that very few solid balanced ones exist. Thanks to
@Xermo,
@soopercool101 and everyone else who stages, I managed to show them otherwise. However, they complained that changing icons sounds like a lot of work to them. I laughed.
Later I busted out the dev build and Ridley. Mixed but mostly positive responses there,
@BaganSmashBros. Knux and Lyn were a
smash hit though.
But more importantly than anything else,
I MADE FRIENDS. A mod of game and mods for that mod somehow brought antisocial me closer together with people. It'll be nice not having to play with CPUs all the time. (too chicken**** for Netplay) PM is a beautiful thing.
