Smash Master
He didn't judge him just by that. He just used it as evidence to prove a point.
He actually said a lot of stuff besides criticising Magnum.

Just the fact that SHE mentioned his join date is enough. I was merely pointing out that one thing since numerous people do it eventhough they shouldn't.Hedidn't judge him just by that.Hejust used it as evidence to prove a point.
Heactually said a lot of stuff besides criticising Magnum.
so wait......let me get your points straight...............Magnum....rofl.
I think he's saying 'experience' as in the actual experience, not as in the Final Fantasy definition of the word.
And this isn't a place for people who want to win at Smash. The majority of the people come here looking to learn how to get better, but do you think a lot of people are THAT bad so they stay here for 3 or so years? No, we enjoy the game and we enjoy the evolution of the game, and also the people.
The boards give a sense of community, too.
No one likes losing...please, refrain from jumping to conclusions that aren't very well thought out.
HRC is a fun part of Smash, believe it or not. No, it's not the entire point of the game, but it's still fun. Remember in LoZ: OoT when you could fish? Same thing.
And if the majority of people are playing to win...that's really sad. So many things missed along the way.
1. lol, @ psychic commentHow would you know other people's opinnions? You're not a psychic. And you just joined here too, which means you've just scratched the surface of smashboards community. Oh and btw, 95% of the 6 million people that bought ssbm don't know anything about advanced techs, many of them members of smashboards, so how could they possibly only play to win when they are not into competive gaming yet? :/ Not everyone here learns advanced techs and those who learn might never get into competitive gaming either. And even if they did get into competitive gaming, that doesn't mean they don't have fun while playing.
Smashing is a social event and in social event, you can interact with different people, which can equal you having fun = smashing is fun. When playing smash, I don't concern myself whether I win or lose when not on a tournament or money match. I only hate losing on tournament matches when it's because in reality I'm the better player and it's not really my day, when on a good day I could have done much better. I'm much more concerned about whether I can learn anything about the match so I can get better. I use my time in friendlies to either mess around and have fun, or learn stuff and get better. Getting defeated by someone only shows that I still need practice and analysing why I was defeated and working on that makes me better, thus learning more from losing than winning matches. Of course that doesn't mean I cannot learn anything from winning matches nor that I lose all the time or that I love to lose to every person I meet. But hear me out, what I remember from the tournaments I've been in is having a great time, not how many matches I won or how many people I beat. In nature, smash is a party game and it would be extremely dull if one only cared about winning all the time, since they obviously aren't invincible. "Don't play to win, play to learn", as someone wise said here sometime. :3
I wouldn't talk bad about any low tier characters. You ever see Ken get ***** by a Link? I have. Go on youtube and look up Aniki vs. Ken and you'll see Marth eat boomerangs and bombs.go to a tournament and see how your link does.
That's because Marth vs Link is an even matchup. Link does well on Marth. Also....Ken didn't get ***** and he still beat Aniki....and Ken>>> Aniki.I wouldn't talk bad about any low tier characters. You ever see Ken get ***** by a Link? I have. Go on youtube and look up Aniki vs. Ken and you'll see Marth eat boomerangs and bombs.
thats bull**** gimpy. are you saying that a person who sucks should go low tier until hes really good and then its ok for him to go top tier? the REALLY good top tier players weren't good instantly minus some exceptions, all of them were mediocre top tier players at one point. in fact i <3 mediocre top tier players more than any of the people on that list because they are the ones who arent stupid enough to go low tier and are persistent enough to keep playign the game even though they arent winning as much.<3 bowser mains
<3 low tier players
<3 the REALLY good top tier players
</3 mediocre top tier players xD
i am not your friendMagnum...you don't have to be so mean. We're all friends here. :-D
yes it does, you fail at logical conclusionsAnd yes, you got my points exactly. People are here to get better, but that doesn't always mean to win.
keep up with what......ITS ****ING WINNING JESUS CHRIST YOU WANT TO KEEP UP WITH WINNING NO ONE PLAYS THIS GAME TO LOSE THEREFORE THEY MUST PLAY THIS GAME TO WIN BECAUSE NO ONE CAN TIE.I started to look at this when my friends did, just so I could keep up. I don't really see myself winning MLG, nor do I really want to. Sure, it'd be nice...but it's not what I'm going for.
you are too much of a noob to understand even if it was explained to you. gfs.And what the hell does 'get froed' mean, haha. I'm assuming it's not like....hair fro, right?
roflmao, really? money match?all I know is Magnum has a horrible understanding of how smash works. And a horrible attitude.
quick question, how many pros have you played?Playing a "low tier" character doesn't give you any honor or respect.............playing a "low tier" character WELL does. I started with Falco because I was amazed at the vids I saw of pro Falco players and he is still one of my favorites........but as I got bored with nonstop Falco and started to play around with the "lower tier" characters I realized how much fun they are to use.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's not the character, it's the player. People don't invest time in characters they consider "bad"........they play a decent high tier player and lose........and thus conclude that the low tier character they used is garbage. I was the same way before I actually bothered to put in a little practice with what I once considered useless characters like Y. Link, Yoshi, and Ness.
Quick rebuttal: how many have you played?quick question, how many pros have you played?
many. and it is obvious that you haven't played any....ever.Quick rebuttal: how many have you played?
Ok let me rephrase that: How many pros have you beaten in a set?many. and it is obvious that you haven't played any....ever.
are you ****ing stupid? when did i ever imply that i've beaten pros? the reason why im not pro and they are pro is that they consistently beat me. there is no shame in that. but by playing them and learning the game from them i know that tiers do exist. how many pros do you see using low tier? 1? 2? everyone else uses top tier. if you ever played a pro, you would learn, hopefully quickly, that playing ness and young link gets you nowhere. and i GUARANTEE i can birch you so hard you will learn the meaning of "get froed" to the fullest degree.Ok let me rephrase that: How many pros have you beaten in a set?
Hmmmm..........I tremble in fear of the name Magnum Opus..........soon he shall dominate the power rankings after losing to "pros" that don't make the top 50.
people dont invest time in characters they consider bad?I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's not the character, it's the player. People don't invest time in characters they consider "bad"........they play a decent high tier player and lose........and thus conclude that the low tier character they used is garbage.

man i tried reading that but all i could see wasPro groupie alert........pro groupie alert.........get a life please. When did I say I main Y.Link and Ness?............Jesus. You're the kind of loser who wastes hours and hours sucking up to pros on DC++, who loses to them in sandbag friendlies and basks in their "pro" glow, and then comes trolling on Smashboards to pick fights and laugh at the ignorant "n00bz" lolz gg roflcopter.
Keep up alive bro.
Why don't I understand matchups and tiers? Because I said people don't invest any time in the weak characters?people dont invest time in characters they consider bad?
bowser is f'ing terrible, hes one of the worst in the game by far, wtf
hes so terrible i can hardly stand it. yeah, i understand that and it makes me much smarter than you because i understand things like matchups and tiers. understanding the horrible disadvantage i have and making myself work around it.
playing bowser is like playing chess with only the front row of pawns and your king, or like playing checkers and starting with 3 pieces. the odds dont favor you.
I would give you credit for typing out "johns" that many times, but I know you used paste. I will give you credit for admitting you're an Eddie fanboy.man i tried reading that but all i could see was
"johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, johns, and more johns."
oh and btw for future references i dont go on dc++ to suck up to pros, instead i like go out and play with them and become like, you know, friends with them?
however, im an admitted eddie howells groupie but who isn't?
What is wrong with your attitude? I said Bowser can do alright in some matchups if the player knows how to use Bowser.........I didn't say "Gather round children and I shall teach ye the secrets of Bowser because I am a Bowser master, moreso than Gimpyfish."did you just tell me what bowser can do?
tahts a nono around here just FYI.
how is my analogy flawed? i SUPPOSE i didn't give the chess pieces a PERSONALITY to go with it, like the charcters have in the game. my bad
no, bowser sucks vs all characters.What is wrong with your attitude? I said Bowser can do alright in some matchups if the player knows how to use Bowser.........I didn't say "Gather round children and I shall teach ye the secrets of Bowser because I am a Bowser master, moreso than Gimpyfish."
I personally don't care if you are reputed to be a good Bowser player.......congratulations.......what I don't like is your knowitall arrogance regarding all things "Boozer".
Also your chess analogy is ridiculous........pawns and a king vs. a full set.........come on. Bowser may be handicapped but he's got a few good moves.............nobody who plays chess intentionally handicaps themselves to the point where they cannot possibly win.......picking Bowser doesn't equal instant loss.

This is the most intelligent post in the thread yet...........no I'm not joking.my parents call the white pieces in chess "butterschotch"(sp) and the black ones "chocholate", also my parents are fat.
Okay well neways, i think that if u wanna win wit a lower tier character, u gotta be REALLY good, but if not, and u plan on getting far in tourneys, stick wit the high tier.
this is the most ignorant post i've ever read.Low tier characters are low tier because people don't bother to play them. I mean, well of course people play them, but honestly how many? and on a competitive level? Fox, Shiek, Marth, etc. Jumped to the top of the tier list because they were the most appealing and easy to understand how to use when smash bros. came out. Tier lists are all about what abilitys and skills we know a character has and how they can use that to there advantage against others. Low tier characters stick to low tier because not enough people bother to play with them because they are not as 'easy to be good with' and therefore no one learns new stuff about them.
High tier characters escalate at a much higher level because more is known about them and its easy to get info on how to be good with them. High tier characters are high tier because they are loved.
Wise words. And Tier Lists are a list to compare who stacks up against characters better than others.In case anybody does'nt know the tier list is a list thats based on which character wins most of the tournamants that take place around the world. It does'nt matter which character you pick because it's all about mindgames. Ive seen bowsers destroy foxes all the time. And pichu.... Omg pichu is a BEAST!!! People just don't take the time to unlock every character's potential.
