I'm not the one using outlier in this way. Gheb is, but thanks for proving my point. ESAM regularly beats Snakes......by himself. Why is he still being considered as an outlier? As for APEX, Dabuz isn't even the best Oli (at least he wasn't before Apex, I think). It IS a pretty isolated incident that he outplaced the other top Olis by such a large margin. In fact, THAT'S the kind of instance that makes one speculate what his bracket looked like.Outliers shouldn't matter in statistics. However, bubbaking, I think you've got the term "outlier" wrong. One player winning one tournament and then never again is an outlier, while one player doing great consistently when the others aren't is not.
Just saying.
Lol. I have experience against the best ROB in NA (Holy). Trust me, ROB sucks.awwww shiz you guys dunno the terror of the cold robot.
get rdy
blizzard can actually outspace nades. i never was able to work out why, but sometimes the blizzard can blow up the nade without hitting the climbers. perhaps it needs to be retreating or something.you can just throw a grenade at them when they do that, or walk backward with one....
Oh, now you're just asking for Jiggs discussion to start up again.Meaningful topic:
What comes to mind for you guys when you think of undervalued in the tier list?
I can understand the regional pride, and I'm not going to directly dispute your claim, but one could argue that Rich Brown was a better Olimar than Dabuz was. Being in MD/VA right now, my own regional pride could also argue that Logic was just as good as Dabuz.Dabuz is the best olimar in NA(before and after apex). Japan didn't bring their olimars
The difference is that Snake is not broken.idk what this BS is about characters "viable as a solo main." If you're using a broken character like Snake/Olimar/Diddy, it's obviously viable as a solo main xD
Uh, none of these sets were one-sided enough to deserve the term "body", especially Nairo vs Otori. That was a very close set until Nairo lost his cool. Losing =/= being "bodied". Heck, even losing a set 2-0 or 3-0 doesn't really mean one was bodied if every game was last stock, last hit.That must mean M2K isn't a top player cause Salem bodied him, Nairo isn't a top player cause Otori bodied him, and Larry isn't a top player cause Leon bodied him. obviously all false.
This definition is just as faulty as the ones you were accusing V115 of making.the real definition is "players who consistently do very well in tournaments." It's really that simple. There are lots of top players who have had good accomplishments and get 1st and 2nd all the time in their region. If you think "this" is getting boring, then why did you start it xD Don't pick fights and fire shots at people randomly.
No, it never feels that way except maybe on no longer legal stages, like Brinstar and RC.Real talk here, I sometimes feel Wario:DDD is like ±1 on any non-FD stage
No, because the latter three you just mentioned actually try to facilitate meaningful discussions on here once in a while. I post obnoxious WoT's while looking for the right words (and smileys) to express my ideas, Gheb really, really likes to cite results for every argument ever, and Jebus pipes in every now and then to insert some controversial point with some actually solid reasoning behind it. Quest, however, is being ridiculous, and you are just being antagonizing for no reason.....as usual.So is Quest the new addition to the group of Jebus/Bubba/Gheb?
Good..... (-.-)I will be in no such group with Bubba.
Sorry for taking this out of context (kinda...) but I just had to....ROB is made unviable by MK
Get out of here with that region pride shiz. That's just plain trolling to try to put Logic near Dabuz's level.I can understand the regional pride, and I'm not going to directly dispute your claim, but one could argue that Rich Brown was a better Olimar than Dabuz was. Being in MD/VA right now, my own regional pride could also argue that Logic was just as good as Dabuz.
In short, Dabuz is NOT the Ally of Olimars.
One could argue that, but one would be incorrectbut one could argue that Rich Brown was a better Olimar than Dabuz was.
It actually was. I was just adding to sage post and then talking about how the game is today. And what you said was a prime example of this mess the game is today. Being serious or not means nothing. I just used you like a woman. Don't get hype.Not a very good example since I wasn't being serious
The only part that matter to me in this post wasDark.Pch I loved your commentary yesterday but god I hate everything you post on SWF (not the content, but how it's worded and just drones on and on forever)
From now on, all your posts should just be C/P'd from a speech-to-text program, if possible imo
I just keep it real.Dark Pch I read your post and it was the most worthwhile thing on this page in particular. Seriously, people giving up on characters so fast unless suddenly the character wins a tournament is silly. Make your own dream come true guys, get some frame data in your play.
Everyone else be arguing about the definition of outlier, seriously what is this the bickerboards.

*was gonna respond to this*I think ROB beats ICs and Marth +1 and thus there might be a niche where he can compete in national tournaments to a certain degree. While many people argue that Ocean "shouldn't" have beaten M2K at Apex his wins against ICs in R1 and Ramin in R2 are legit beyond any doubt. So even if Ocean had lost to M2K and his next set in losers he still would've placed at a very respectable 17th place. Of course there's going to be a bit of bracket luck involved in that but at least there is a chance to pull it off for ROB, as opposed to Peach, GW, Sheik, Kirby or Lucario who lose to pretty much every top tier character. Luminous - who is imo the best active ROB player right now - beat various high level MKs by outskilling them, beat Mikeneko and beat Vinnie. It's definitely not a huge stretch of the imagination for this to happen in the bracket of an Apex tournament. I'd say it's a pretty huge stretch to assume that to happen for any of the other characters I menioned above. While ROB may have a worse matchup spread on paper in practice he still has more potential to place well. From that point of view it's definitely not a false claim that ROB is a better character than people believe and that he could be borderline high tier alongside Fox.
It was very debatable before Apex. Now it's clear though.There was no reason to believe Dabuz was the best olimar (in North America) before Apex. However some of NY/NJ's players seemed to do some serious training prior to Apex and it was pretty apparent dabuz stepped things up and earned his higher placing compared to his peers.
That's very sexist you should be ashamed of yourself.I just used you like a woman.
Marth in top tier is wrong?OK, so Pikachu and Wario are top tier according to this list, as is Marth. I didn't "ignore" that because I think it's wrong but because I genuinely didn't think they're up there. Oh well, from a practical point of view beating Marth alone is worth more than beating Pikachu and Wario counted together just based on how often you see these characters place well. And that's not counting in ICs who are also more common. My point remains the same *shrug*
So this falls under the 'consistency' criterion, sure. Falling under "very well"? That's debatable.
Getting first at a large tournament like Apex/SKTAR/SRT, or even a local in NJ/NY with all of their big names (or maybe a local in Japan with a bunch of big names) definitely fall under 'very well'.
Winning locals in NE? I wouldn't say so. Definitely a good performance, falls under 'well', not trying to insult the NE players cause I think (their better ones anyway. Fatal Koolaid BC Bizkit MikeRay Pelca) are definitely high-level players, but not exactly the creme-of-the-crop.

not exactly the creme-of-the-crop.
This is seriously pissing me off...creme-of-the-crop
