hyrule sucks
One solution is to stop having tournaments. Just have a room with a bunch of setups and have a venue fee if a venue is needed. If you want money, set up money matches. If there are enough setups, you won't have that feeling of having to wait for your next opponent, the guy who is having a 60-minute match. The focus should shift from making sure a strict "tournament" ends in a reasonable amount of time to playing the game freely, as you wish (sector z is banned if you play me lol). Break free from the need for having a tournament placing suggest your skill level or help you feel better about yourself.
i literally have never disagreed with a post more in my life lol
i know i'm in the minority on this one, but i believe tournament matches >>>>>>>>>>> friendlies
don't get me wrong, i ****ing love friendlies
i love everything about this game
(cept falcon, **** him)
but there's something special about tournament play
in a tournament setting, i have one goal
to win
when someone challenges my goal, that is the true meaning of enjoyment
my single favorite thing about super smash bros is being pushed to my limit
even if it's only for one set of a tournament
even if it's only for one GAME
when two people are trying their absolute hardest to beat each other
when they're desperately trying to figure out their opponent
when they're desperately trying to figure out themself
all of their training finally gets put to the test and for a split moment they're in an equal state of competition
that's beauty
it's a shame, but i believe that the above circumstance can't be recreated in friendlies
it doesn't matter how hard you play, nothing's on the line
nothing is pushing you
so regardless of how much i love to play friendlies, tournament matches will always be where my heart lies <3
also, i'm kind of obsessed with the idea of being the greatest player of all time LOL i love competition
