1st off this isn't a I don't care for this game thread. I don't want this to be closed because some ****** keep posting _____ is better. also this is meant to have an openmind on both sides, so if your a close minded **** who will never listen to the other side please don't argue your nuts off.


OK here we go. I'm sick and F***ing tried of hearing that ssbm is mostly about tech skill and takes less mental energy, mindgames, or thinking. I'm a fairly techical player, I can dshl out of a shine and as pichu i'm totally techical because I can do more damage to my self than my foe can, pichu def. of techical. I'm a techical player and I 100% believe ssbm is at least 70% mental. The rest is who you pick, tech skill,and feeling good. When I play i've heard people tell me I look like i'm trying to cure cancer or something i'm uber focused and you can see the raw mental power going through my head.

If you look at other ssbm players you may see this also, if you look at someone watching tv it's like flys are in their head, and brlaw they normally(after going to 2 tournments with brlaw there) they look like they are a step up above the tv watcher i've looked at many people playing serious matches inn bralw and they didn't look like they had half the mental energy going through their head of a ssbm player playing freindlies.

In ssbm there are more options, more pressure, and overall faster. correct? So lets break that down a little. More options lets you have more tools to carefully think about using and also having to counter, more pressure makes it's much harder to keep your head and to think, and faster means you have to keep up mentally. The movement options also give soooooo much room for mindgames, as pichu my whole play style is based off of mindgames and it works amazingly well. On my be half.

I have to read them, use old tricks, and add in new tricks every match I can and adapt uber fast to live.

However I think ssbm needs more mental energy i'm not trying to say bralw is for slower people or anything mental wise i'm simplely saying it's also menatlly hard just not to the same level as of ssbm. You can't really say less options makes mindgames harder they are just rarer because of the lack of options and really the lack of options overall hurts mindgames.

Veiws on why i'm wrong or right would be amazing. I also believe the the top players aren't as limited.

thats why brawl is harder. less mindgames=more prediction. anyways mindgames in melee dont matter untill high high level of play. i doubt you really understand "mindgames". im betting u just predict and punish and call it mindgames. when u start to place well and start to really improve ul prolly have a different concept of mindgames.

also your grammer is starting to improve haha keep it up

I agree with the OP.

"less mindgames=more prediction."

I disagree with that dude. If you have fewer options and mindgames, it means you only have to predict a few things. If there are many potential chances to use tricks and mindgames, you have to use prediction more skillfully and more often. Less mindgames actually = less prediction.

Also his grammar is better than the second poster's, lol

I mindgame people in real life all the time I study ways to ninja people's minds I know if it's rock paper scissors it's more prediction, however if you play it like me were you can change from any of them at any sec. and more your hands with it so you add in spacing and movement mindgames.

If you take away my ideas than it's mostly prediction however you could do rock 3 times and trip them up.

Back to real life:

I didd actually here a story about a man who was in $10bn dollar bet or something on who could win a best of 9 RPS game and he paid two psychologists to study his opponent and they devised an order of play and then he won 5 straight times and paid them like a million each or something....
