Oh yea before I leave the "The programmer didn't intend for this" argument doesn't work so stop using it.
Oh. It certainly does.
It seems the only people who even DISCOVERED wavedashing/L-canceling is by means of the internet, other than the person who invented it.
Sakurai and his team have no time to lurk the internet like others for example and probably have never even heard of these techniques. If they had never heard of these techniques, they probably didn't notice that they made an error in programming, and didn't take it out of Melee.
I've been an avid forum poster and internet lurker for a good few years now, and I didn't even hear about wavedashing until less than a year ago, and I'm an active internet user.
You honestly expect Sakurai and his team knew about this? They have lives. Busy lives. I mean, the Nintendo representatives at the announcement had never even heard of Ratchet and Clank before.
However, they probably heard about L-canceling by now, and that's probably why it's out of Brawl.
If it had been intended, they wouldn't have taken it out.
you're going to suck less.
You assume we want it out so that we can play better, and you assume we suck. Haha.
