East Coast Sparring Partner

[Metroid]

Hey looking for someone to spar with, first come first serve etc.

I think I am decent enough, but only been against a few people in 1 on 1. I'd like to try and get better!

my friend code is 2337-5499-1746

ideally looking for someone who plays top tier, as id like to see how my low tier trash stacks up haha.

Custom Movesets okay with you? If so, add me.

 

[Metroid]

Umm, no thanks sorry. I prefer following tournament standard.

 

[Gidy]

New game, new meta my friend.

I just don't think custom movesets are going to be allowed in the tourney scene. Because of that I fail to see why I would 1. use them, or 2. get used to fighting against them. Seems like a lot of wasted time and effort.

Well I've noticed that the tournaments I have seen involve custom movesets(I still prefer standard for the chars. I main), but if you want a sparring partner I'm down for some games. Although I don't think we could say any tier list made one month into game release is going to be accurate.

You would use them because they can make a low tier character better or alter any character to your preference. I don't know what you mean by getting used to fighting against them. Adaption is a key component of Smash, and this just enables it even further.

Maybe this was a mistake, sorry I thought this was a board for competitive play. Like I was looking for 2 stock, form stages, no items, tourney rules etc. I get that theres some fun wacky custom **** you can do now, and that's great. However I am more interested in the competitive mode of fighting games, not the for fun stuff. I'll try to look elsewhere I guess, my bad.

Lemme quote shofu

"Hello?"

Custom Moves are used in every tournament I know but VGBootCamp and they haven't confirmed use of them YET because of time. Also, are you not interested in counterpicks like Luminose City or Arena Ferox? And the stock debate is still going on, whether it should be 3 or 2 stocks.

You can't treat this game like Melee. It's a new game and a new meta. Custom Moves aren't like Smash Balls to the point of game breaking. They enforce adaption to the match and creativity in play styles, which is very good within a fighting game in my opinion.

almost all the comp players desire the custom moves bro. they're not wacky at all, they're a really interesting competitive addition to the game.
and we've always generally preferred maps like battlefield over fd
