I'd like to say that 1 video of a good Captain Falcon player beating a good Metaknight player once doesn't mean that Captain Falcon will consistently beat Metaknight.

He's talking about the custom stages. Those don't count because they're, more or less, tech demos of the stage builder more than something trying to be an actual stage. And on that MK video, that MK could have stayed out of Diddy's range the entire time he was small by gliding. While small...

So, as the topic suggests, I'd like to know the counter to Pit's counters. I was thinking that I wanted to start learning how to play a new character, but I wasn't sure who. There are plenty of characters I like, but as I was thinking about it, I had an idea. If I'm going to spend all that time...

Whoops, looks like Keits is lurking on the SWF: (Post# 96) http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=162502&page=4 I'd like to hear what Keits has to say in reply to this topic, but given the general attitude of the posters, I can't see how he would say anything without getting flamed...

I'd subscribe to the Sirlin way of thinking. As in, I already know Metaknight is fun, and what he has works. So I'd leave him alone and bring everyone else up to his level! Than everyone else is more fun to play! Than again, he does have a few too many options for getting KOs. I'd probably...

I meant in a no item match, is each item set to off or is the item appearance rate set to none? Dedede is known to throw various items if the items are still turned on, despite the appearance rate being set to none.

Wait, are tournament matches played with all items off or with all items set to none, because that could make a difference to a Dedede player who enjoys using Side-B. I thought I saw someone say items are set to none.

Ok, I think I get it. The 3/5 matches are supposed to reduce the luck aspect of items, but from what you're saying it's better to take the luck factor out entirely. Also, I didn't really understand why some of the stages were banned, and I thin k I must be hallucinating, because I thought...

Physical exercise may be able to help there. Keeping your body fit can help to keep your mind focused. Also, try eating at Olive Garden before a tournament. Some Volleyball players told me its what they eat before tournaments, because pasta helps to build energy. That Physical energy can help...

I'm not saying I want Luck to be a bigger factor in Brawl, but the way things are now, Brawl players are quitting and either going back to Melee or quitting Smash altogether, and that's with the rule set of no items and stages being banned. It doesn't matter how competitive or balanced a game...

75m isn't really that random. Springs don't travel in an erratic pattern, they travel in a predictable line, and only when DK is out, which is after the music changes. And like any fighting game, someone might get lucky and get a perfect match. Thats where the 3 out of 5 comes into play. Getting...

Dragz: You said, "It's that they don't give a ****'s *** about SMASH." That s the part of your post I was referring to. It seems before you flame me for not reading your post, you should remember what you actually posted.

Evo 2k8, I thought someone might bring that up. The truth is, the rules at Evo were a mess. After rewatching the final match videos of CPU vs Ken, I realized something. If the rules at Evo were the same as the All Brawl rules Keits has set up now, then Ken WOULD have won. You say they don't care...

Praxis: At first, I thought the same thing. I was thinking, "How can you leave all items on when someone can just grab a Star or a Final Smash and dominate?" However, if you follow the links I posted at the beginning, you would see the matches are only 2 stocks and 3 minutes long in a best 3 out...

Dragz: It's easy to say that SRK knows very little about Smash as a whole, but on a broader level they also know a lot about fighting games in general. In fact, they've hosted several of the largest fighting game tournaments in the U.S. So it's not like they're just talking out their ***, but...
