Nope. Not at all. No digo el inglés and all that.
Smooth Criminal
Here, let me help you, Smooth. Requesting a lock on a thread that you're not even taking the time to read kinda makes you a bit ignorant, no?
------------------
It doesn't. Using available tools to your advantage makes you a better player.
Define "
available tools". In Pokemon Gold & Silver, if you deposited a Pokemon into your box and then tried to switch boxes, it would start saving. Turning the game off during that save ended up duplicating/cloning that Pokemon exactly (and any item attached). That is clearly a glitch and I sincerely doubt Nintendo wanted that to be available to players.
The concept of "cheating" only applies if it were to give one player a grossly unfair advantage over the others. These tools are available for everyone to use.
So, given my example above, you're saying just because something is readily available in the game means it's not a glitch or not cheating? Cloning Pokemon by that method (especially rare ones like the legendaries) is clearly cheating regardless of whether or not it's
available for everyone to use.
I think you (as well as many others, no offense) are confused on what "tools" are. If something is purposefully put into the game for you to use, that's a tool. If you found something in a game that the developers did not intend to be there, that's an
exploit.
Snaking in Mario Kart (no matter how broken it is or isn't) is a tool because it's there on purpose. Wavedashing, for example, was not.
Differences:
1. Wavedashing does not give you an automatic KO, or any noticeable advantage on its own.
2. L-Cancelling does not give you an automatic KO, or any noticeable advantage on its own.
3. Dash Dancing does not give you an automatic KO, or any noticeable advantage on its own.
4. Pivoting does not give you an automatic KO, or any noticeable advantage on its own.
5. Sheild Grabbing does not give you an automatic KO, or any noticeable advantage on its own.
6. Move-Cancelling does not give you an automatic KO, or any noticeable advantage on its own.
I think you missed the point of my example. I wasn't saying that any of the glitches KOed anyone (I'm not ignorant) - I guess it went completely over your head - my bad. I was comparing it to the fact that in other games
any glitch is frowned upon. Yet, in Smash, it seems to be some kind of bragging right and
allowed.
With the techniques comes an understanding, and without training and building up that understanding of the game, they're no more or less useful than turning left. These "glitches" (some are, some aren't) are merely available tools. The idea that they're instant-wins is ignorance.
Again, I never said they were instant wins or even implied it - you misunderstood my comparison - which kind of implies your ignorance, not mine. Please make sure you understand before insulting someone.
My point stands whether they're glitches or not, which should, in my opinion, not matter at all.
Any questions?
Yes, now that I've explained a post that I felt was fairly easy to understand, I'd hope people will actually read before "requesting lock" like idiots. It's a discussion - if you don't wanna be part of it leave. And if you wanna complain about topics, why not complain about one of the other 100 flooding the forum? Or are you just selectively ignorant?

EDIT : I just want to make it extremely clear that I'm not looking to argue, fight or make enemies. I just wanted to contribute to the discussion and defend the point of view for new and/or casual players. Unfortunately on this board it seems to be extremely easy to make enemies - even though most of the time it's the fault of the people who comment without actually reading what they're replying to. But yes, I don't want to make enemies and I just want to have the same right to speak that all of the elitists here feel they have.
