Don't be a sphex

Though this video is directed to an audience focused on human rationality, I think it's very applicable to what we do in/with Smash: http://youtu.be/ZdrPI7hSfYQ

Don't be a sphex. Don't persist with your gameplay/style blindly. When something seems odd, or doesn't work, sit back and think about what's going on, then proceed logically. Find out what to fix, and fix it. Don't be a sphex.

Don't be a sphex and follow simple rules blindly. If something seems odd, or doesn't work, sit back and think about what's going on, then proceed logically.

So in relation to smash, I suppose a good way to put it would be learn to adapt?

There are few real rules. Most "rules" are in fact only "guidelines".

I can't believe I didn't post my reply earlier.

Anyways, while I absolutely agree that in Melee there aren't really 'rules/laws' on how to play, but more so 'guidelines.'
My post was supposed to induce a more adaptive mindset in those who watched the video, in how they play not necessarily on how you should play in general (Am I being clear? It sort of feels like I'm not :/ ).
