Is captain falcon a glitch?
No you didn't because I'm 100% sure they can be DI'd out of easily since brawl has made DI too easy, so any advanced player can escape like.. what? 98% of the combos out there?
He is a glitch. No one was supposed to be so manly in Smash, but somehow through a couple of moonwalking glitches, unintended combos, and strange hitboxes. He became too good for other people in the game at least in the manly and awesome department.
Wow, ur g0nna win all teh tourneys.
What? What is this suppose to mean?
Don't be ignorant. Firstly, if you expect game developers to detail every single nuance of the game engine they've created in the manual, you're.. silly. They tell you the basics of how the physics engine will work, and you're left to see what combining those basics will result for you.
I see what you're saying, but I've said before, as time goes on, the gaps between the differences in skills between players will become larger and more obvious.
This is a hypothetical match-up where someone who is great beats someone who is much worse, but with only one stock left? I thought we already established that Pros can still beat noobs, as in your only concern was about players with close enough skill, which I have already addressed.
I stated this above, but I still don't understand how you can determine that Player A is 'technically' better than Player B even though Player B beat Player A. And while I disagree with your statement of "You don't get as steadily better the more you play", if this is true, then you need to play a lot more in order to get better. So the difference in skill between players and the time and effort it took to become that good is even greater in Brawl than in Melee.
If you ever stop to think and THEN try execute what you just thought about, it should fail unless you're opponent is using that same strategy. In smash bro (all three, not just Brawl) you have to constantly be thinking about what to do next and how to react to what your opponent is doing. This applies to most or all head-to-head video games.
Woops.......
The point I was making was that if players are close in skill level such that in Melee, a match between these players would almost 100% of the time go to one player, but in Brawl, two players the same closeness in skill level might fluctuate much more in who wins. The "better" player might only win 60% of the time.
No, this was supposed to be relatively close players, as well, just not quite as close as the preceding example. The more I look at how I structured my post.. the less structure it appears to have, lol. I was a little all over the place with my thoughts, sorry.
This, also, is probably not a very common situation either, you're right. This was mostly a situation from personal experience from my very first tournament matches, in the later rounds when I outlived the other casuals and got into facing definitively "good" players. In normal situations, you're right, the level of excitement I indicated is far from accurate. Silly hyperbole, definitely not accurate, apologies again.
I'm not really comparing the amounts of these returns, I'm saying Brawl doesn't have a steady return, period. Your statement would be true if Brawl just had a smaller, steady return. I don't believe it does. I believe the return gets less and less the more you improve, reaching relative "skill caps" much faster than you would in Melee.
Um... yes. However, that is a bit extreme, maybe "banned for like, two years" would be better. And also they could make it so that you can't create more than one account on the same e-mail address, unless they've already done it. (I haven't tried)
Of course you do.
Yeah, serously, calm down. I just happen to be a veteran and have played Smash bros since the very first game came out. Either calm down, or take a hike.
I touched on this earlier, but the thing is, if we have two players of close skill, how is it that we determine which is accually better? We have them play each other, of course. The winning player is the one who's better. So, keeping that in mind, we could have situation 1 where two players are extremely close in skill. In Melee, for example, you could have Ken and PC_Chris and PC might win 60% of the time, but that means he is the better player and that's why competitive matches are always 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5, etc. We can also have situation 2, where both players are close in skill but one player is a bit more obviously better than the other. So when these two play each other, the better player will win much more often than in situation 1. Situation 1 and 2 exist both in Melee and Brawl, and I've seen it first hand.
As I stated in my previous post, I didn't believe in what you said anyway, I was only responding as if it were true, which again, I don't believe it is. I believe in smash bro (all three, not just Brawl) you improve with each and every game played, and each and every stock lost. I don't understand what you mean by 'relative skill caps' however, but the more you improve, the harder it is to get even better; this applies to every single competitive game ever created. But there's always room for improvement and you'll only continue to get better by playing.
Granted, but then you can't fairly claim that the skill gaps won't increase over time. However, it is proven fact that with all competitive games ever created thus far, it takes time to improve your skills. No matter how you look at it, that's what it boils down to; you need to dedicate your TIME into improving your game. So, as time passes, certain players will play more and practice more and get better and better, leaving other players behind, while those players leave other players behind, and those players leave others behind, and so on and so forth. Now, I'm not saying that Player A will automatically beat Player B solely because Player A has clocked in 400 hours of Vs Mode Matches while Player B has clocked in only 350 hours, but the amount of time you play the game is definently a large factor in your personal skill. That's why complete beginners will never beat a Pro, because they haven't played at all, for any amount of time.
I just found this lovely quote whilst browsing through the first page of this thread. It seems rather insulting to say that the lesser players should stick to brawl, even though you didn't SAY it, you ASKED it. But this brings up the question, "Does playing Melee, rather than Brawl, make me a more competitive person?" This can also apply the other way by replacing 'Melee' with 'Brawl' and vice versa. And the answer, in my personal and most humble opinion, is a flat "no", because at this point, deciding to play Melee over Brawl is due to a personal preference. I quit playing Melee (and pretty much every other game...) to play Brawl competitively, only because I like Brawl more. You need to have a love for the game if you want to play at a serious level.
Yeah, you sure showed these guys who the jack ***** are. Good job.
Yeah, a small bit of ranting, not death threats.
If you're talking about Coreygames, then yea, I was definently being sarcastic. He was yelling and pissing and whining like a two year old, calling everyone a jack ***, so it's kind of ironic. I think Coreygames hardly ever, if ever at all, accually contributes to these boards. It seems like most of the 2,000+ posts of his are just whining or complaining or being sarcastic.
