Yah fine, I commented on her as it pertains directly to the tier list, adding a brief word (admitting it was superfluous/poetic), and responded when that part of my comment was referenced. That's all that. As far as I'm concerned, that's a legit comment. If the mods want to run me off of here for whatever reason, then that's their politically motivated/territorial power play decision. This ain't my first rodeo, son...
If you're referring to the "warning" you received, it was because you were unecessarily hostile toward another member of the community because you disagreed with aspects of their tier list, and in the process broke a couple of rules outlined to you on the front page.
THE RULES
First, obey the
Smashboards Global Rules. This subforum is intended to be the best discussion area Smashboards has to offer. Infractions for Spam, Flaming, Trolling, and Harassment are given out with less leniency here than anywhere else, and
punishments tend to be roughly double.
- Similarly, replies to a personal tier list are held to the same standard.
- In particular, non-constructive criticism will be moderated harshly.
If you haven't already, please look over the front page closely.
But no, she is poison, sir. She's the worst thing to happen to this game by a mile. We all know it. Really, what explains her #1 placement/Zero's clear proclamation of the same, without any results to back it up in the least?
Because ZeRo has made hasty judgements before? He's even admitted to this fact himself on multiple occasions:
ZeRo is not the be-all, end-all in terms of opinions, and he has been proven to be overly optimistic or pessimistic in terms of certain characters in the past. If the only arguments you have to back up the argument that she is #1 are "look at her damage" and "ZeRo said she was the best", then your argument is flimsy.
By the way, here's a potential counterargument: Bayonetta is not #1 in this game because she doesn't have a consistent enough neutral game to achieve the spot. Her ridiculous damage output, recovery, and Witch Time are all aspects that allow her to punish predictable play no matter the character archetype, but she still is a character with sporadic frame data, light weight, and a big frame, meaning that players who are good enough to be able to adjust their playstyle on the fly and make reads will oftentimes be able to perform better against her. This, I feel, is the reason that she often gets far in majors but never wins: by the end of the tournament, she has to fight a bunch of players who are all exceptional at adapting to bad situations but possess dramatically different base playstyles, and to win, Bayonetta needs to get into their heads and capitalize on their mistakes, which is hard when she's fighting characters with much better frame data piloted by players who know when not to press a button.
Is this a perfect counterargument? No, of course not, there's tons of room for debate and I'm overlooking a lot of her positive characteristics, but the point is I used logic and anecdotal evidence to make my argument as opposed to just throwing around vapid buzzwords like "poison" and relying on an appeal to authority to substantiate my claim. If you disagree with it, I hope you will provide me with a solid counterargument based on your own opinion.
Oh, and one last thing... please cut out the "tough guy" act.
I've been slaying trolls for years. That smell, you smell, is the stench of caked troll blood on my scimitar, my cracked tower shield with Sakurai's face engraved on it, and on the bottom of my boots. I am a true Smasher. I'll not apologize for that. And I haven't flamed anybody. But I'll take the mod like a man. I get it. That's fine. So, that's that.
When you say things like this, you come off as someone who doesn't want to engage in discussion at all, nor do you make it appealing for anyone else to want to talk to you. You're not better or worse than anyone else here, so please don't act like it.
