Capitalize the S in 'stuff.' And then, throughout the week, randomly change capitalization of characters in the title. When asked about it, claim you have no idea what they're talking about and question their sanity.

"I think of a game as a topological landscape with lots of hills and peaks that represent different tactics/strategies/characters. The higher the peak, the more effective that strategy is. Over time, players explore this landscape, discover more and more of the hills and peaks, and climb to higher locations on the known hills and peaks. Players can’t really add height to these peaks; they are only exploring what’s there, though that is a rather philosophical distinction. The problem is that when you reach the base of a new peak (say, the rock ball trap peak), it can be very hard to know that the pinnacle isn’t very high. It might be really difficult to climb (lots of nuances to learn to do the trap), but in the end, the effectiveness of the tactic is low compared to the monstrous mountains that are out there. You have reached a local maximum, and would do better to go exploring for new mountains."

This is an analogy from sirlin that i liked a lot and thought i would share it.

^that's pretty cool.


Help:
I've been looking for some high resolution pictures of the crowd cheering at a tourney. I'm making sort of a poster.
Can anybody point me towards pictures like that?

I wonder if D3 would have been viable at all given his reach, CGs and minions...

Not sure how that couldve fared vs the speed and offense of melee but who knows there could have been a niche for him as a wall vs the rushdown style you see alot

Yuppers, I sure do. I think that Ike would have died really badly. But MK would still be godly. Roy would have been A-tier in Brawl... atleast A-tier.

You guys are bad at thinking of thread names.

:phone:
How about "People post random links to **** they think is cool and only mods actually have conversations with each other". Because that's pretty much all this thread is. YEAH I MAD.

Of course, when I post this, the non-mods are talking for once.
