The solution is to play friendlies with items on.

Oh Jesus this community is pathetic Good **** Plank.

"Akaneia" is the filename of the Fire Emblem theme song on the disc, so it was probably a beta stage for the Emblem brothers before getting cut.

I love coming into a results thread after a big tournament and watching all the drama. Do other competitive communities do this or are we just a bunch of ****ing children?

Actually, I'd chalk up this section of the forum more to the fault of the designers for the Wii than Sakurai. Even if the game was perfect, Brawl would've had extensive hacking done to it just because it's so popular and has such a large community; Melee had tons of hacks, and the GC was much...

That's not what I said. I said people who play mainly with tournament rules will not take people who rarely do seriously. Non-tournament rules are deemed "non-competitive" as a whole because at a glance they look more flawed than what we've accepted, which is the same attitude people who play...

Because it's different. People hate things that are different. You can see it in our own game: people who only play in tournaments with conservative stagelists think people who have stages like Green Greens and Distant Planet allowed are noobs. People who play with rules that ban planking and...

Is everyone over there like this? This is like the sixth time I've seen some random Dominican person claim one of the players over there is secretly better than all of our top players.

So? They shouldn't be playing a game where timing out is a powerful option--or rather, they shouldn't be playing with a community that plays in a manner which creates a powerful option in timing someone out. If timing someone out being a viable option is concluded as a problem, it is a...

No. Random, arbitrary rules should not force my recovery to be one-track and allow my opponent to kill me. Why can't I grab the ledge when the game told me I could grab the ledge and I am at a severe disadvantage by not doing so? What about stages like Rainbow Cruise where it's feasible to...

Again, you demonstrate that you have probably never played in sudden death more than once. Plenty of hits will send you offstage but not far enough to die, and banning recovery is silly and arbitrary.

Have you ever played sudden death? Grab a ledge and the bombs can't hit you, and your opponent will have to deal with the bombs unless they too grab a ledge. You're not going to fix stalling by playing a round where stalling is even more effective.

I highly doubt he would really care at all. He'd probably muse something like "Wow, you guys are really dedicated!" and then go back to feeding his cats and being infinitely more successful than anyone in this board.

I hate you people. You go on and make this amazing stuff and then say "Oh, I didn't really like it, it's kind of crappy," while us here at the bottom rung who actually can't draw or sing or write or program or whatever are sitting here comparing our chicken scraps that we tried so hard for days...

I love it when people do this. "Well I'm no engineer, but I have this really cool idea for a space elevator we could make with a bunch of plywood and a rope, so..."
