It is only cheating according to your rulebook. Seriously, how is exploiting goalie AI any different than shooting on a goalie in real life who has his back turned? How do you know how the game is supposed to be played? After you answer that, who taught you respect the creator's wishes? I cannot recall the last time I played any game and wondered if my actions were OK in the eyes of the creator. You people like to think that humans are not allowed to be creative and come up with new techniques. For every new technique that emerges, counter techniques emerge as well. No one method guarantees victory. Cheating implies exploiting a blatant advantage that is unavailable to the opponent. Handing your opponent a broken controller is cheating. Finding clever ways to score on the goalie is far from cheating. You are just one of the many who whine and complain because everyone doesn't play the way you like to play.
Yeah I have to agree with Buzzsaw.
X, I think i'm finally ready to come out of retirement.Yea, the meta-game hasn't really changed much. Players just seem to be more aware, in most cases, about many of the tricks.
Aaryk: I'm still waiting for our game. T_T
Buzz: You too. I know you're a superstar and all because of SMYN but still...
My team is Diddy, Birdo (No I don't abuse the Peach Down Smash Dodge), Dry Bones, and Boo.
I agree with the rest of your statement, but this last part changes the issue altogether. The issue we have with people is that they reduce these advanced techniques to "cheap tactics" or "methods of cheating". They say it just to make themselves feel better about losing. However, when the issue changes to "I hate losing so much", you have two primary choices. You either need to (A) study the advanced techniques so you don't lose so much or (B) play against someone who will go easy on you (or is at your skill level). Many casual players (not referring to you, Andromeda) feel that there is supposedly a third option: (C) force all advanced players to abide by the "rule set of honor" so that casual players can win "legitimately" and feel good about themselves. They cannot live with themselves knowing they are not very good but also lack the willpower to practice the game. Players who study the game deserve to win. They invest the time to increase their chances of winning, so why should someone who has not put the time be given free victories?
I can't play at this very moment, but I can later. Gimme your FC.
I don't see it anywhere. I need your friend code, not your Wii Number.
