Your not debating. Your not even talking about the brawl vs melee balance anymore. Your simply trying to respond to everything that was directed towards your comments and I don't see where this is going to actually go back on topic. I'm not even sure what your trying to defend anymore. Are you trying to say that your comments are supposed to be referred to as an "opinion" and therefore should make sense for others to read? If you agree with Yuna, stop posting unless you actually have something relevant to the Brawl vs Melee balance debate.
I
did originally come up with a comment very relevant to the topic, but it was slashed at simply because I used an example that others disagreed with. My first comment was very valid.
You may have played the game extensively, but that doesn't = skill/knowledge. Let's face it, if you don't think that the majority of constant tournament players know more than you in terms of actual Brawl gameplay... Well I don't really know what to say.
Yes, tournament players know more than me, and I know this. I was simply saying that I thought not only tourney-competitors deserved to post in this thread and that Yuna had not mentioned this was the case in her original, first post.
Opinions without any factual information to back it up:
MADE UP EXAMPLE: I THINK Lucario should move into the god tier with MK/Snake BECAUSE he has won the last 3 major tournaments.
This is the opinion Yuna and others are looking for. Not just opinion for the h*ll of it.
Again, I wasn't stating that Captain Falcon was a great character and deserved to be respected more. I don't use Captain Falcon. I don't like using Captain Falcon, he's a horrid character to use. I also don't think the characters are balanced. I was ONLY saying, as I've explained now about 6 times, that I just think the characters are slightly - SLIGHTLY - more balanced in Brawl than some make out. That is all I was claiming when I used my example of Captain Falcon, therefore he wasn't an 'opinion for the hell of it.' It was used as an example to back up my very small point.
No debate here, competitive players have the priority. Why? EXPERIENCE.
Um... that's not what I meant. I meant whom has the authority to decide what a competitive player should mean. I know that competitive players have more experience and I wasn't denying them of that title.
However, when you've said that competitive players have the priority; priority over what?
I don't know what you are trying to prove. Everything has been in the game from day 1. You clearly state that tournament players have more skill because they play more players and therefore gain more experience themselves. Just because some tactic possibly originated from some kid party in a basement of Ohio doesn't mean they had skill or knowledge of the game when they figured it out.
You keep misunderstanding me. I clearly state that tournament players have more skill because they play more players and therefore gain more experience themselves...? No, that wasn't my claim, that was what Yuna insinuated. I was explaining why I thought that this was not the case, just as you have just done.
It's not a big-headed assumption based on what you have posted. Your "pure example of what I personally think" is FALSE. Not only have you not supplied any factual information to why you believe that or why you think characters are more balanced than others presume, but you also do not disprove what other posters have said. You simply say "Well it's my personal opinion". If you don't want your opinion to be argued AND you don't want to defend it with logic, please stop with the inane posting.
How is it at all possible for an example itself to be 'FALSE'? I have supplied information/examples at to why I believe what I believe, but everybody keeps rushing to assumptions of that I hold an opinion over something else, due to my examples.
I'm not disproving what others have said. I agree with what the majority have said.
Congratulations! Part of this quote actually had some revelance to the thread. Yet, once again you claim something without providing any actual facts. How do you conclude that the characters are a little more balanced than some are suggesting? And who are these people you are referring to?
The irony is that you mock me for my quotes having no relevance to this thread, yet neither do any of your quotes. How do I conclude that the characters are SLIGHTLY more balanced than some are suggesting...? Oh, for goodness sake, I've already concluded it twice about ten pages ago. Read all of my comments before judging me on just one.
Your opinion on your opinion is an opinion.
Yes, I know, and that's a problem why...?
Online play for the most part is fail, I certainly hope it's better in Europe. No playing at tournaments isn't the required medium to be able to express your opinion, however, Factual information to back up your claims SHOULD BE. There are plenty of players that are better analyzers of the game than being very good at the game itself.
So, you conclude that it's okay for those that have not played at tournaments to make claims so long as it's backed up...? Mine were. And what claim are you refering to...?
While your post date can be related. I'm fairly certain the reason your not being taken seriously is because nothing you said is:
1. Given without any evidence supporting your opinion.
2. Or related to the melee vs brawl balance discussion.
1. I've expressed but two opinions before this huge debate started: Brawl is less balanced than Melee, and that the characters may possibly be ever-so-slightly more balanced than most are claiming. Evidence and example were given.
2. Everything I said, originally, was completely on-topic. Only my comments directed as a reply to you and Yuna whilst you've been trying to find flaws in my previous posts were not. However, that's irrelevant as your comment was also not related to the Brawl-Melee discussion.
Also, just for future reference, when using the word 'your' as 'you are', it's spelt 'you're'. You made this mistake many times. Not complaining, just explaining for your sake. ^_^
-----------------------
And, really, Toadsanime, the fact that you think Captain Falcon is pretty much as good as the average Brawl character is proof of that you lack the necessary knowledge, experience and judgment to participate in this debate. The merely fact that you claimed this to begin with disqualifies you. The fact that you still cling to it instead of just conceeding you were wrong, well... hmmm...
I already explained why I used the Captain Falcon example. I see no need in me doing it again.
It's like me going "Well, this card here is clearly better than that car over there!" despite being proven wrong repeatedly by a multitude of people. I do not own a car, I have no knowledge of the inner workings of cars and I lack the necessary everything to accurate compare two different cars to each other.
Explain where I've done such a thing, I'll be happy to correct myself if I've explained my opinion inappropriately.
---------------------
A bit of advice for Toadsanime and a word for Yuna -
Text walls are useless. People do not finish textwalls. Also, responding to comments directed towards yourself doesn't further debate. There's no real reason for you to respond to a personal comment, Toadsanime.
Now lets not make the discussion personal - that is how people beget the appearance of idiocy and jerkhood.
Mine were not personal, I was simply trying to explain to others of why my comments were, in fact, relevant. However, I see your point, as this isn't so much a debate anymore. I keep coming up with the same replies as I have nothing else to add on the matters...

Thanks! :D

On the matter of custom stages, they're okay in my opinion, but a little tedious. I only play on them for the sake of variety and fun, however, and NOT when taking the game seriously. Custom stages could indefinitely cause the game to become unbalanced. The creator may of created the stage with their character in mind, causing a definite unbalance.
Custom stages = Fun, but probably not fair.
