Oh look, another wise-cracker trying to be all edgy and cool. Kid, Sakurai/Namco/whoever would of made an alternative to Sudden Death if they thought it was degenerate. I understand why tournaments go by %, but this is just for randoms.
Oh look another kid who thinks calling someone else kid makes them cool. The fact that you admitted to being a time wasting ***** instead of trying to make a comeback says everything i need to know about you.
Let's just cut to the chase, shall we? Your opinion on how the game should be played is just that: an opinion. If we were going to stop doing things in games that some people dislike, Wavedashing and L-canceling wouldn't be used at all. I'm sorry you don't want to play to win, but I do and will, and you're not changing my mind.
Well not to rain on your parade or anything, but that might net you some "wins" against weaker players on flat stages with latency, but it doesn't mean you'll ever win anything significant on all the other legal stages and it certainly doesn't make you a better player. I'm still failing to see what the point of this argument is. The OP asked if rolling ruins the fun, not if it's effective in a given situation.
The game only knows winning and losing, and by playing the game you agree to it's rules. A win earned in one ruleset may be a loss in another, it goes both ways. Can't exactly rely on platforms in Glory can ya?
The platforms aren't even the big issue with regards to rolling. The primary issue is latency, which compounds with the severely low lag of rolls and spots to create a problem. It's not as much of a problem offline as many have already said. Unless you are suggesting that latency is part of the ruleset.
Kinda is, although there's typically not much, if any, when I play. There's a hidden matchmaking system, and getting outta scrub valley is usually enough to cut down on the lag.
I do agree that Melee's balance isn't too good, no where near brawls level because most of the poor design choices in brawl were intentional due to the fact that sakurai wanted it to be as far away from melee competitively as it could. Rolling has only been useless in comparison to broken mechanics which melee and brawl had.
I do play to win but I have too much self dignity to stoop so low as to run out the clock because I know I can't come back. My mindset is that no matter what percent me or my opponent is at, a comeback is always possible, so I'll never resort to a scrub tactic like that. Sorry you don't have enough faith in your own abilities to actually play the game.
You are correct about there not really being a neutral stage. Mac? Mac needs FD. He's barely useful with it. Without, well, lets just say a Mac probably won't be winning any decent sized tournaments any time soon.
I won, fair and square. Game said so. Answer me this: How are your morals any better then a set that declares Wavedashing a scrub tactic? Yours are right, theirs are wrong? Heh.
It has nothing to do with morals. I'm just not a pathetic loser. Heh.
"I do play to win but I have too much self dignity..."
I did defend my position in the post that horribly out of context quote is from. try reading it this time k? Or are your reading skills as sad as your mindset?
Then please explain. How do dignity and morals differ?
It's ironic that you're trying so hard to back me into a corner when the whole reason we're arguing in the first place is that you use and condone trash tactics like running away all game. How bout I ask you a question instead. Why don't you try to make a comeback instead of relying on the clock to save you like a scrub?
Why use a worse option when something better presents itself?
We're done here lmfao
Okay...? Not entirely sure what you accomplished.
