Alopex: Lol and you not reading that I was trolling, and how is this boosting my ego? Just trying to not let depth fly out the window... :/
It's a false sense of depth. Look, we're
already separating ourselves from the Brawl community as well as casuals. Why should we feel the need to separate ourselves even further when we are already separated enough by having to "make" Brawl+? Manual L-Canceling is artificial depth. Sure, the extra push of a button that
nobody besides us knows about
is depth but, not
true depth. True depth comes from how you utilize the L-Cancel.
There's no other way to PRESS that button, where's the depth in pressing it? You just press it, that's it. Auto L-Canceling achieves the same effects,
you just don't press that button. It gives you the same amount of depth as manual L-Canceling. Nothing will change from it, Mario's Uair won't suddenly become what you want it to be. If you want to
not L-Cancel to utilize his double Uair, then you don't know how L-Canceling should be used. Mario having virtually no lag on the second Uair would be amazing, I don't see WHY you're advocating manual when all it is is artificial depth, you're just pressing a button, is it that orgasmic?
L-Canceling was put in by the developers for depth in Melee. Not just because it was a button press, because it allowed for more combos. Combos IS the depth coming from L-Canceling, it shouldn't matter how it is achieved, be it button press or automatically done for you. It is the SAME result either way, it just depends on how
you utilize it and
that is where the true depth comes from.
Your argument for pressing a button adds depth is silly because that button press isn't what adds the depth, it is the user. There is not one time you will not want to L-Cancel, I played Melee for years and not once did I choose
not to L-Cancel. It is ridiculous to say "I want lag!" You shouldn't want that, you want NO lag so you can connect aerials into your ground moves back into aerials, L-Canceling is what connects those together and creates the combos. Auto L-Canceling achieves the
exact same results manual would, I cannot stress that enough to you.
