So you're making up your own definition just so you can use the word you like. Got it.

neu·tral/ˈn(y)o͞otrəl/
Adjective:
Not helping or supporting either of two opposing sides, esp. countries at war; impartial.
Noun:
An impartial and uninvolved country or person.


Yeah, no

Since every stage affects every MU, they are not "impartial." Therefore, they are not neutral.

You're welcome to use your own definitions and look silly though, I won't stop you. I enjoy laughing after all.

The number 1 is neutral. Your definition does not fit its neutrality. A dictionary simply provides a simple guideline for the use of a word, as nuances, everyday use etc. aren't shown. The definition of a word is related to its use, not just to an incomplete, online dictionary.

But if you want to stick with such simplicity, fine. Life will be hard on you bro.

So you're making up your own definition just so you can use the word you like. Got it.
Hahahaa, I knew someone would say this XD. No making up your own definition is is not how it's done. But when a situation occurs in which a simple definition, like in let's say an online dictionary, isn't sufficient, a new one needs to be discussed, one that corresponds with the variables at hand. But at the same time, that definition must align with definitions of those in comparable situations.

Guess complexity isn't your thang huh.

CJ, if you havent done so by the time I get home, I'm going to bust out my thesis on the median of bias.

See, Nike's agreeing with you now. You're obviously wrong since he's a terrible person.

Also the given definition does include the number 1, as well with all numbers.

Numbers, themselves, don't influence anything. Just the interpretation and use of the numbers. The concept of the number is, inherently, neutral since it affects nothing in any way.

Language and words and their usages form over time naturally; nearly all words we use today were not "original". Many words can have countless definitions, and a lot of them are due to cultural inclusion ("gay", "****") that eventually made their way into pseudo common knowledge (and even the dictionary).

However, I don't agree with this alteration of "neutral" because there's not much reason to sway away from what it specifically means. You're better off saying "Oddity-Free" [or finding a word that already covers a similar definition]. At best though, you can say that Neutral has this understanding in the smash community as this 'oddity free' (non random elements primarily) thing gong on, and its getting wildly used, in times like these you don't try to say "**** off you're butchering the QUEENS ENGLISH." (and in tow the nub Englash) you find a workable alternative to introduce.

You obviously haven't been keeping up with mathematics. If one multiplies any number by 1, it stays the same number. Thus, 1 is a neutral number. You obviously didn't have a clue haha.

@Shaya:
By involving characters into the decision of whether stages can be neutral, you veer from the definition anyway.

well, thats when you only look at multiplication, if you add or take 1 from any number it's not the same and we're still talking about maths...

you can call them neutral stages, but thats correct if you isolate one from every other stage and make it the only official playable stage (like arcade fighting games where everywhere is just flat). But in the smash bros series, you not only depend on your character, but on the stage selection as well, because there are different stages that can play in favor or against a specific character, so in fact, you can't just say a stage is independent od the character selection, you have to take both of them considered as a whole.

You can't really say FD is neutral if you play against falco or D3, because they have an advantage there (if not, then why not play with them on that stage?).

So if you look at it, the best fitting name for the most "neutral" stages would be starters, because the're certainly not neutral, but fill the requirements of not giving any direct influence in the current game itself (random factors, damagers, etc).

also, mk vs marth is slightly mk's favor.
D3 vs marth is horrible, it ****
against diddy, is quite fun on sv

Concepts of numbers =/= application of numbers in math. I specifically said that the concept of all numbers is neutral and only the application of them can alter something.

You simply misinterpreted my statement, accept it. And thanks for conceding.

Played some friendlies against Tagxy(/etc) and Southpaw yesterday (+today). I did reasonably well, maybe Australia is not as far behind america as I thought.

I also beat Mike in a marth ditto.

I asked you what the size limit was since we were talking about something else and I was too lazy to check.


Still not sure how I chose that though.

Despite Nike being a jerk and you not going to TX, are you still coming to Atl. South?
