Izaw showing us some Smash 4 technology.

I would also say this. When you really think about it, one of the reasons 2stock is the norm is so Smash 4 can be done as soon as possible so that other games can be played and have the spotlight. In many ways Smash 4 does not get the respect it deserves. While there are more reasons for this...

Thing is it is rare for a match to timeout or even come close to timing out these days. Well there are certain matches that generally take longer but every fighting game has those. The pacing of a 2stock and 3stock match is very different. Pretty much would spend the same amount of time or not...

I think 3stock BO3 would be as well. While this is not true, Smash 4 has the impression that it takes too long. I would say that on 3DS(blast zones pushed out a bit more) and at first due to mechanics this was a bit true but certainly not now. Really one of the reasons I think 2stock is the...

Thing is it would be hard trying to convince tournament organizers. At tournaments mainly focus on Smash BO5 2stock would not be a problem. At tournaments that have other games then Smash running, Smash 4 would be lucky to even have BO5 at top 8. Think how hard it would be to get BO5 at a...

In a sense that would be a middle ground. It is players that want 3stock with the FGC standard of BO3 vs 2stock with BO5. Thing is unless a tournament is dedicated to Smash, most tournaments are having BO3 until Winners/Losers/Grandfinals. This is done for time reasons because other games have...

When other games are involve people do have to take in consideration how much time they take. Generally speaking all games are double elimination and BO3 until Winners/Losers/Grandfinals at major tournaments. Tekken is not at all tournaments yet due to not being release, so SFV is really the...

BO3 is basically the FGC(Fighting Game Community) standard. I understand why tournament organizers use it. Well not only is Smash 4 and Smash Melee being played. There is Street Fighter, Tekken, Guilty Gear, and other games being played. On finals day, top 8 for all games is either from morning...

If a tournament has games other than Smash, then one can pretty much expect the ruleset to be BO3 regardless of 2stock or 3stock. Few exceptions exist. Now if a tournament is Smash games only then you can expect BO5. Being realistic, at most Smash would only get BO5 for top 8(if that). In...

Honestly has 3 stock truly have been given a chance? Also consider this. Smash and the FGC in general runs tournaments on this format. Double Elimination 2 out of 3 set for the tournament 3 out of 5 for Winners/Losers/Grand Finals In a few cases sometimes 3 out of 5 is done for top 8 2stock...

It depends on what you are use to. They both offer some advantages over the other and how your play style is.

At this point it is really just can the Smash 4 community make up their mind with Mii and other things like stages. Honestly I think the guest Mii route and what ever moveset would work the best. Ultimately when it comes to things people are only going to use a set or 2 at most. It is not like...

As far as Bayonetta goes I think she should be tone down a bit(like what happen with Diddy, Zero Suit Samus, and Sheik) but I say she is not the god tier people think she. I think people really just need more time to figure things out.

I am like what I am seeing from the meta these days. I think a lot of characters have more potential then people think. When more future patches come the only thing I see happening is high tiers getting tone down and low tiers getting buffs/overhauls to make them better. Compare Smash 4 on 3DS...
