I have a flat screen plasma TV and from what I can tell is there is the same amount of delay on a CRT and projectors compared to LCD TVs

There may be some rare cases of flatscreens having low lag, but believe me when I say CRT's are better. If you're new to competitive smash you might not notice, but there's a reason we lug around tons of huge CRT's to tournaments and smash fests.I have a flat screen plasma TV and from what I can tell is there is the same amount of delay on a CRT and projectors compared to LCD TVs
Alright thanks. I'm not going carry a huge plasma TV to tournament, I was just wondering if there's aPlasma screens are just about as good as CRTs for Melee, and they make the game look nicer. Wouldn't recommend taking one to a tournament though.
Is there a way to test this? Because I feel no difference on a CRTAny practice that isn't on a CRT is bad practice. The amount of lag that you'll have to adjust to even on a "low lag flatscreen" will be insurmountable. Just get a CRT if you want to practice in the same conditions that standard tournaments have.
The easiest way to test it (or at least the way I test it) is to use a Wii U.Is there a way to test this? Because I feel no difference on a CRT

Plasma screens =/= LCDs (which is what you are probably referring to with your roommates hd tv).wat
uh no. we don't lug around CRTs to every event to get sick biceps. the lag might not be noticeable to a new player, and it can be adjusted to, but it's not worth it for tournaments. like, sometimes my casual roommate wants to play on our large hd tv, so I'll deal with the lag, but I'd never play a serious tournament set on it.

I have a WiiU so I'll give it a tryThe easiest way to test it (or at least the way I test it) is to use a Wii U.
Find any Wii U software where the TV and GamePad play the same sound, turn them both up.
If there's any audio desync, it's more than likely you've got some lag - as the GamePad has lag comparable to a CRT. (everything has lag, but the lag on a CRT is less than what humans can percieve, and certainly less than a 60th of a second) I should know, because I compared it to a CRT.
If you don't have a Wii U? Hmm, I wouldn't know. That testing method is too reliable for me to know any others
If you have a WiiU, and have homebrew on it's vWii (you should) use this. http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php/240p_test_suite - it has a mode designed specifically to check frame lag.
