Smash Ace
as of now, i doubt someone can win a tourney relying heavily on this tech, but as time goes by someone will master it and then it might be possible.

I doubt this will work, but maybe, I'll try and post.I'd rather not repost a possibly stupid question, but when I asked a few pages ago I was ignored (due to the raging debate).
Is it possible that characters with a similar disappear / reappear skill (i.e. Zelda / Shiek) could effect something similar to this? Does Dimensional Cape function very differently than Vanish / Forore's Wind (sp?)?
Just wondering.
Strange, I'm not the only one who say you do this. In fact, many very credible posters did the same. I was also not the only person you ignored (and who pointed it out to you).The difference is, what I actually do in threads differs from what you say I do.
I don't ignore threads unless I'm telling you why. I TOLD you why I ignored you in the infinites thread; it was mainly because you decidedly misread just about everything I said. Other people provided legitimate arguments and I answered them politely. You either misread or left out what I said and responded in a completely belligerent manner (which, in turn, provoked my hostile answers.)
You're misusing words again. Thread =/= Post. Your response was not unique.I responded to everyone who directed answers at me in this thread. I do that in every thread unless I miss a thread or give you a different reason (see above). You ignore threads because you assert you refuted them without actually telling me where or why. I read everything in the thread before and made a unique response. Two, in fact. Neither Mookie or you responded.
Look at Mr. Pot. So do you. With alarmingly much higher frequency than I. And I skim. So what do you do?You still don't know anything about actual debate or logic. You CONSISTENLY misread things (if you want proof, your post here which I dismantled is still in the thread).
I'm sorry, I give one-sentence responses? I'm accused of TL:DR:ing and Wall of Texting several times a week. My responses are almost never one-sentence and when they are, it's only against obvious stupid BS that don't deserve real answers.You give one-sentence responses that either only respond to one thing in two paragraphs or nothing at all.
No, this is what you do. The parts of your posts I don't reply to have already been replied to earlier in the same thread, sometimes directed at you, which is why I don't repeat myself again and again because my patience can only take so much.You quote things that say one thing, refute a small point in it that doesn't actually affect the argument, and drop the rest.
5 examples.You frequently reinvent what was said or what was done in the thread.
Yes I do. The grounds for debate are: Do your research and have knowledge in the subject you're debating. If someone is obviously misinformed or blatantly lying, why shouldn't I call them on it?You never keep the same ground for people to debate on evenly.
Don't go there. I frequently do. When I'm proven wrong, I conceede and apologize, unless it's just something minor at which point I just drop the subject, but this is just minor stuff like "Yuna: Hey, can't Kirby do some BS combo on you that does this and that? Mookierah: No." in a discussion about how Zelda fares against Meta-Knight. It's not really important so there's no reason for me to type out a 5-sentence apology for it.You don't make concessions; whenever you're wrong, you ignore.
Quotes or it didn't happen. I can quote you doing what I say you do. Can you do the same?That's just the beginning of your laundry list of issues while you 'debate' here.
My logic is often sound, if sometimes not entirely bullet proof, but since I have facts to back it up, my logic still stands firm (most of the time).I'm not saying you're an idiot either. You're clearly not, and you know the game more than I do. I've never said to the contrary; I attack your logic, not your knowledge of the game.
Wait, what? A new ludicrous accusation. If these are so numerous, point out 5 occasions where I've done so. Or just 2. Specifically the "Well, I'm wrong, but you're more wrong." part.You know what your biggest problem is? You're stubborn and you want to be right. There have been times where you get so inexplicably upset when I prove you wrong that you say "Yea, so what? I'm wrong, but you've been wrong more" even on something as silly as a spelling error.
Quote or it didn't happen. You've accused me tons of wrongdoings over the past few months but you've never provided evidence for it when called on it. I can go and mount a case against you right now if you wish me to prove that you do the things I say you do. Can you do the same?You will do anything it takes to be right, most of which avoids any logical progression of an argument. Everyone who's ever argued against you comes up with that same conclusion.
No, I would never argue about something that stupid.The part I hate the most is arguing with you until it just becomes extremely inconsequential. If we had an argument over which type of sandwich is best, you'd be arguing down to the brand of pickle that should be used so that the whole scope of the argument is lost.
You never provided any real arguments that proved your standpoint in any of the threads. I wasn't the only one you were arguing against. Many others argued against you, you didn't refute their points either. Meanwhile, we largely refuted your points. That's called losing the debate.And, for the last time, you didn't 'win' any arguments. I just gave up for the benefit of everything else; every time we argue it turns into something extremely inconsequential. Case in point: this topic about MK turned into who is a better debater.
Try learning more about Smash before arguing about, you know, Smash.You might know Smash more, but until you actually understand the proper progression of argumentation, you haven't won *any* debates.
"It's not godly because Meta-Knight can screw it up"? Or do you mean to say I should be mor forgiving when others make mistakes?I think we realize yuna people are not machines you keep throwing this dumb *** point at us when we realize there is human error involved. I just said excessively i never said anything about time limit.
After 36 pages of just seeing his walls of text, lets hope he gets what he wants.I've had a change of heart and I'm with Yuna on this whole lets ban it all together thing.
Because it's new. Imagine a month from now and you incorporated into your game, assuming you use MK.no i was refeering to your constant use to the stopwatch point.
Unless everyone feels like lying all you have to do is call over a to the rest is up to them.
b[B]ut as i stated if this is banned it wont effect my game at all.[/B]
Ease... of... enforcement...Stuff...
Ok... stay with me. We cannot rely on the honour system. We never have and we never will.no i was refeering to your constant use to the stopwatch point.
Unless everyone feels like lying all you have to do is call over a to the rest is up to them.
but as i stated if this is banned it wont effect my game at all.
Yes... stupid potential. Potential which forces us to ban it (after extensive testing).This tech has a lot of possibilities, it should not be banned.
Faith is for church. It has no place in Competitive gaming. If it's not banned, it will be abused.i do understand your points i may just have more faith in some players
For the last time, you cannot police it easily. What constitutes "obvious"? What if I just stall short of that threshhold? How can you tell I'm obviously stalling if I keep within the arbitrary time limit you've set up?there is no need to use stop watches since its obvious when someone is stalling.
Sorry, Kizzu-chan (I'm not being disrespectful, trust me), just clarify this to us so that people won't randomly misunderstand you:lol
If I play nunchuk I can set a UpSmash to the D-pad.
Your guys are going to ban this, ban controllers, configurations or the character itself? lol
Sorry, that learning curve is just about getting knowledge about this technique.
*throws a waffle iron*I have a recording in my head telling me I'm better than everyone else. It says, "You play Melee... You play Melee... You play Melee..."
Don't be so vague. Exactly what does work? And how can you be so sure since you just said "The timing might be different"?Anyways, I tested it and this doesn't work with stages with curved/slanted platforms like Lylat Cruise, Pirate Ship, and Halberd. Maybe it does work but the timing is different but I'm not getting any results yet.
Exactly how is stalling under the stage easier to notice than having your character model disappear from the screen and not return while you're mashing the controller? I missed that because I didn't want to read three pages back.Ease... of... enforcement...
You can also tell when Meta Knight disappears and doesn't come back for an extended period. How about that?You... can... blatantly... tell... when... someone... is... going... under... the... stage...
As far as I can remember, there was never a time limit, or any sort of defined limit, for any stalling tactic ever in a Smash tournament that was notable. No one would argue that they didn't excessively stall under a stage because they only did it x number of times or for x amount of time. They're still prevented, and still enforced against. It is a different method of stalling, it is a better method of stalling; it does not change the legality of stalling, or how it is enforced.How... do... you... limit... this... technique? A... time... limit... that's... how...
See previous post.But... how... do... we... gauge... this? Stopwatches... and... lightning... reflexes... each... time... Meta-Knight... Down B's... that's... how.
I do not feel the need to read through this entire thread just to make sure I covered points people missed or made sure I didn't bring up statements already claimed just to argue to your standards. The bottom line is this is all theory craft, just like Wobbling was. People are arguing against this tactic with points they can't even derive from extensive experiences with, and you seem to be following the herd of sheep.GAH! I think I'm going to explode. I'll have to put the response to this line of debate into a .txt file on my Desktop for easy access at all times! God, does no one read back more than 3 posts before posting something which has obviously been posted about before you just sit down and think about it for more than 4 seconds anymore?!
I held Up on the c stick at different times when MK came out of the cape..but still no swipe, are you 100% sure, is there something I'm missing? o_OHolding up on the c-stick when you come out.
It has to be on a certain frame. When you hit up on the c-stick, it hits the (up) and (attack) commands on frame one; this is why it does a smash attack when you hit it, but holding it does not cause you to continually up-smash.I held Up on the c stick at different times when MK came out of the cape..but still no swipe, are you 100% sure, is there something I'm missing? o_O
I'm sorry, are you arguing we shouldn't ban the technique altogether? Good.Exactly how is stalling under the stage easier to notice than having your character model disappear from the screen and not return while you're mashing the controller? I missed that because I didn't want to read three pages back.
We've already established that the only viable ban is to enforce a time limit and then it's very hard to tell when one's overstepping the limit and when one's not if one only does it slightly.You can also tell when Meta Knight disappears and doesn't come back for an extended period. How about that?
No, but doing so, reading back even 1 page, would've given you the answers to this entire post as I just debating these very same points one page ago... and the page before that and the page before that and the page before that.I do not feel the need to read through this entire thread just to make sure I covered points people missed or made sure I didn't bring up statements already claimed just to argue to your standards.
Reading up on the thread would've told you I've said, many times now, that this must be tested extensively before we ban it.The bottom line is this is all theory craft, just like Wobbling was. People are arguing against this tactic with points they can't even derive from extensive experiences with, and you seem to be following the herd of sheep.
If only people would read back on those pages where everything has already been said. If no one argue against the new people, we'll have 10 pages of new people spouting off about how this shouldn't be banned for already refuted reasons.Well have hard data on this hopefully tonight. I'm doing some events that may get us some good videos for analyzing.
Oh, and @Yuna: Stop being a ****er. Almost everything that needs to be said by either side has already been said. Repeating things with ellipses and insults won't make the other side want to listen, especially if they didn't listen the first time.
If you ask me neither side is being particularly rational here.
Exactly. Couldn't say that better.Sorry, Kizzu-chan (I'm not being disrespectful, trust me), just clarify this to us so that people won't randomly misunderstand you:
What you're saying is "This isn't even that hard, stop saying it is. What are you going to do, ban alternate controller setups? Ban reconfiguring those setups? Meta-Knight? No, just ban the friggin' technique!", right?
Yuna's right on this point. Yes, it's easy to identify stalling, but that was BEFORE this tech. Everything we've had up to this point was easily identified as stalling. There's simply no way to allow this without problems. There's only two possible outcomes for this tech the way I see it. It either is proven unpractical due to it's difficulty and isn't used (e.g. it doesn't matter), or it is do-able, gets abused, and gets banned.For the last time, you cannot police it easily. What constitutes "obvious"? What if I just stall short of that threshold? How can you tell I'm obviously stalling if I keep within the arbitrary time limit you've set up?
Why thank you.Nothing will ever be the equivalent of the C-Stick!!!! EVAR!!!!!
I don't quite get what you mean.. as opposed to pressing A and smashing the control stick in a given direction?go into the settings and change the up on the dpad to smash attacks. its easier to press and it goes back to neutral easier
