Recently someone has brought to my attention that you may or may not need tech skill to win tournaments? So is it useless to learn and practice tech skills?

Really good point.Depends on the skill of the opposing players and the character that you are using.
Someone like Jigglypuff can win without much tech skill investment but if you use someone like fox, then the need for Tech skill is much greater.
I like that answer, cause I used to be like that. Sadly.New players tend to believe that learning techs automatically makes them better than those who don't. They'll be often disappointed when they still lose to their casuals friends who take good decisions and play smart. Tech skill is required, but it will hardly get you anywhere alone.
I'm pretty sure I've seen Pinkfresh wavedash out of magnet. Your point still stands though, he never uses it for movement, yet performs amazingly. I still find it incredible how much he improved in a matter of two months.Go watch Pink Fresh play.
Then realize he never Wavedashes.
Cuz he hasn't learned it yet.
This, I started learning tech skills recently but I still lose to my casual friends who call me a loser that tries too hard even though I basically destroyed them before I started practicing. Unfortunately for them, I just keep getting more consistent with my execution and end up making them cry occasionally when they get four stocked.New players tend to believe that learning techs automatically makes them better than those who don't.

Hehe. You make them cry.This, I started learning tech skills recently but I still lose to my casual friends who call me a loser that tries too hard even though I basically destroyed them before I started practicing.

Yup I got it down easy too.It's worth noting that L-Cancel is absurdly easy to learn. I got used to it in like 10 minutes. You just press L when you land from an Aerial, that's it. This game even has a helpful flash to let you know if you did it right.
Actually its not really a silly question, because some people actually don't really use tech skills and will win matches, and may even get really good at smash withput tech skillThis is a silly question. Obviously the answer is yes. High level play is a combination of executing on point and out thinking your opponent. Having only half the equation or the other can't be enough. Even players like Hbox who play Jigglypuff "Because I'm bad at tech skill" have to have the execution requirements to make what they want to happen, happen.
Have you seen anyone recently win high level tournaments without tech skill?Actually its not really a silly question, because some people actually don't really use tech skills and will win matches, and may even get really good at smash withput tech skill
Yeah! We don't want to just win tournaments, we want to win them all.Have you seen anyone recently win high level tournaments without tech skill?
I know nobody has, but it's still a legit question.Have you seen anyone recently win high level tournaments without tech skill?
