There is a lot of guides around this side that can help you step your game up to be a great smash player. And even players out there willing to go out their way in the community to help you out (Like me). But I believe there is one thing that needs to be talked about that I feel is very important. And better to get it out the way new since this game is in its baby stages and will be reborn once again in smash for the wii u. And it's about realizing what kind of game you are playing (competitively) and the characters you face.
So as of now people are complaining about characters like Rosalina, Sheik, Lil mac, Diddy, greninja and the likes. I been all over these boards or with people and here them complain about the character or some functions of the game. Now for those who are not new to competitive fighters, just what made you think you will play a fighting game where there will be atleast one character that is seriously good? Did you really expect to come into this and not have a character that will frustrate you? A character that people will run too in order to get their wins? A character people will use a lot cause it is not hard to use them and get a win off? As a person who plays fighting games competitively, you should know this would happen and be ready for it, just like any other competitive fighter. So I don't understand why you are wasting your time complaining about it like it's something new. Really in a game like smash.
As of now we have players taking over tournies like dabuz with Rosalina. This guy has yet to lose a tournament he has been too. Even with all these good players at them, he has yet to be taken out. So people complain about how she is cheap and etc. The reason he is winning is not solo on his character (or anyone for that matter with said over used character) The reason these guys are winning is cause people are too busy complaining about them. Complaining is not gonna do anything. Not enough people are taking the time to hit the lab hard and figure out a way to beat these characters. They try a few times, get bopped then complain like they gave it their all.
People need to not complain and hit the damm lab. learn your options. See what you are having trouble with, and experiment ways to deal with it. Change your play. Get a body and ask them to do things you have trouble. Wether a move, a type of gimmick, etc. Go learn man. I too had problems with some characters. Yet I did not sit here and cry about how they are broken, cheap, etc. I took the losses, thought about what was giving me trouble, and try many things to deal with it. Just pay attention to why I was losing and what can my character can do to limit the use of their options. Now my game is so much better vs them to a point I had a few complain about that match up too me.
This is what people need to do. This is what people seriously need to do. The game is still new, you see people running to these characters and doing stuff for the win. Take the damm time to actually look at it all and figure out stuff with your characters. Adapt. You complaining about them does NOTHING. It is not make people stop using them. It is not gonna make people not do what they do with Rosalina to get you to not complain. Hit the lab and do work. Then beat them and then have them complain about your character. Alot of people right now are not doing that. So these players using these characters are getting wins for free. or have a good shot of getting defeated but dont. if you are not use to how to deal with an option, and refuse to hit the lab, you have no right to be complaining. Cause you refuse to put in that work and take the time to learn.
This is how you get better as a player. You don't complain about a character. You don't complain how the game is compared to others smash games. I feel like comparing one smash game to the other is a waste of time and does nothing at all. This is not THAT smash game. This is THIS smash game. So put your focus on that. You can do 4 things.
- Man (or woman) up and get to work to finding out many things you can with your character and match up.
- Do what a lot do and when all fails, just used the same character you keep losing to so you can win matches and feel good about yourself as a player
- Don't play the game competitive.
- Get good with that character you are losing too to understand how they work. Learn more about their strengths and weakness. Then come up with ways to deal with it with your main. test stuff out and see what works.
Complaining about something does not help you focus. Games like this are really hard to get good at and deal with a lot of silly things most characters can do vs yours. A lot of things are not gonna be easy. That's life. And you sure a hell can't expect quick results. Just does not happen. Simple as that.
Accept the game you play. Accept what you will go through. Take loses as notes to what to expect and how to fix it. Don't be afraid to try many things. Now is not the time for you to be winning anything. it's the time for you to hit the lab and learn. To get it right, you have to get it wrong first. Remember that.
