lol come play me and i guarantee i will win this way
Alright, I'll play as Pit. Any guarantees now?lol come play me and i guarantee i will win this way
One good turn deserves another.
At a tourney, the winner is the one who advances and the winner is the one who makes the money. If camping makes you win, so be it. The guy who hands you your prize money doesn't care if you camped or not.
Camping is not a coward way to play, it is playing to win, and using all the strategies at your disposal to do so. If you have to camp to win, so be it. It means you're playing the strat that works for you and if you lose to it, you got outplayed. Plain and simple. I beat Oakwood's Meta Knight camping, and then Overswarm beat my Wolf with ROB camping and defensive strategies. He simply outplayed me, and I outplayed Oakwood, nothing less. Whatever works will be used.
Well if you just want money and no respect from other players well then i guess you could look at it that way but you will never get respect for playing this way thats all im saying. if your about money and not about reputation well then i guess its fine
Good for you to have honor, but I don't think playing to please other people and not to win will get you very far.
Sure, but don't go bragging about skills, because you have none.
I've been to many tournaments, and campers lose, because camping can be very easy to avoid (depending on projectiles and how fast your character is), and once you have no where to camp, you are screwed.
If all I have to do to beat you is push B, I am not sure that you are in the position to tell me I don't have skills.
Woooow, roasted! Haha!
Pfft, I hate camping. I played a pit in a tournament match who simply ran away and shot arrows at me. The guy was a real pain in the butt to beat. So I just turned around and camped him instead. After he was ahead in percentage, I literally just ran away until the time ran out, giving me the win.
I have nothing against you Vijin and the camper deserved to get that but see thats what i was talking about everyone is going to end up camping in the end and the char. with the best camping ability is going to win. I haven't been camped on yet in a competitive seen and im glad i haven't, i'm just saying IMO i'm sorry if its not yours you can disagree with me or w.e but this is my opinion i personally think its cheap and i'm glad that people who enter tournys in my area don't resort to something like this
Well, there are 2 types of camping.
I dislike campers as much as the next guy, but to call it an invalid strategy is wrong. It is just utilizing the skills of a player in simple way. And while it is annoying and a very low-level strategy, and while those who use the strategy may be d-bags, if you can't beat the strategy, deal with it.
I hope you are not serious. Nobody in the world loses to the #1 type of camper you have described unless they suck really bad. Anybody who complains about fighting against a #1 type of player sucks really bad. Anyone who can't deal with the #1 type of player sucks really bad.
I'm mostly pointing out to all the #1 people. Plus I was talking rhetorically, not to you personally. I don't usually camp, but if I do, its #2, only I attempt to do a good combo.
Especially if you are a tournament goer like myself and Buzz. We practice as if we were performing.
Actually in that same tournament, I discovered something through two other players, actually. It was a wolf vs a Dedede. The wolf was spamming a lot of lasers at first, forcing the Dedede tot ry and maneuver tog et inside to get a hit off, only to be swatted away by a forward smash,, and at first it was working. But soon after, the Dedede started doing something different that seemed to render the campy laser style useless: power shielding. Not only is it a lot easier to power shield in brawl, but when you do power shield, there is no shield stun, thus, allowing you to just steam roll right through the projectiles and get to your opponent. A campy-projectile style might be a lot easier to deal with when you can power shield.
There's a difference between using what the game gives you and doing things outside of the game, like punching the guy in the face or unplugging the controller. If you lose to someone who camps a lot, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself for not being able to pick up on a certain pattern that he is doing over and over again. You mentioned something about learning from past defeats and becoming stronger. If you're constantly losing to people to camp, then maybe you should take your own advice.
