I actually have to agree with R@vyn here. Even I see this on the Pit boards now a days. Most of the people here don't take some of the information people give them seriously, which is why people don't like to come here in general. It either is flamed, or ignored. Even I don't like to post things here because of the usual flaming that goes on here. And my friend asks me about things before he posts them here because he doesn't want to be flamed. I just hope the Pit boards improve on this, because this is what happens in the end.

This thread does not help the situation, or help me take what someone say's seriously. Despite the topic name I actually seriously took arrow canceling seriously, I was thinking it was a frame advantage so pit could get out of shooting arrow's somehow faster. Ended up being trolled.
Pit boards need a moderator. The Xat chat got spammed to hell in the social thread. Everyone is finding the pit boards as a joke. Which is why people aren't taken seriously. (Well not everyone)
That is why I lurk instead of offer any opinion these days, in all honesty. Only place I talk is social because of this.
I'm not worried about flaming but everything on here is honestly a joke, it's been said before and it's still going on now.
I will take people seriously when a moderator is around. "Top pit" players aren't really helpful at all. So therefore match-up's and Pit's overall metagame won't advance. He will stay at best a mediocre character, because only mediocre people play him. No one with overall good smash skill's will play him and those that do, are not helpful.
/End rant.
