What's there to be split on? Technical depth only means anything if it increases your options. Pressing a button every time you land is choosing the infinitely superior option over the other.
Don't Stoop to his level. You're Stronger than that.
D'awww.
Yes. Agreed entirely.
I was helping you, heh.
Ah.
I once saw smooth criminal stop in the middle of a performance and randomly have an orgy without sex
I used to think Flint only had that 2x4, but actually doing research (as I've never played Mother 3), I learned a few things;
Because that was a girl.
True.
I personally feel the opposite, if my enemy doesn't edgehog I will think he is disrespecting me by not playing serious. It's like watching a soccer match, scoring over and over again is showing signs to your opponent that you are serious and playing to win no matter what. Now if you know your team is better, and instead of scoring goals the players are actually doing too much unnecessary moves and not giving their 100% is considered by many people an act of disrespect.
What? Just because one edgehogs it doesn't mean that player wants to win at all costs. It's pretty fun to edgehog if you are smashing with a lot of friends together. When you deliver that combo, your friend is about to recover and then in the last millisecond possible you manage to grab the edge, everyone screams "ahhh WOW whoaaaaaa" some even go "NICEEEEEEE". But that's because we grew used to that kind of mechanics and it doesn't interfere in any way with our style. We just don't see it as a dishonored move, that's all.
It's something that happens because Nintendo want it to happen. They could have fixed a long time ago (and it's pretty easy to), but they chose not to. Because they think that edgehog is a legit move. You were knocked-back off-stage to a point that it's hard to come back meaning your % was high enough, you either used your DJ already or is too far, edgehogging becomes a way of saying "hey, it's time to die". I know, it's not a clean uppercut that will send your opponent straight to the ceilings and kill them but it's a move that will work just as fine.
It is either you can edge hog and edges or in smash, or edges disappear, and smash should be like traditional fighting games. Pick your poison. If you don't want to play with edge hogging, let it be known beforehand, and play with players who don't do it. But don't say it should be entirely removed because you feel it is "cheap.", Basing an argument around calling something "cheap" is objective ******* your argument here. If you can't recover to the stage and someone properly edge hogs, it's your fault, not theirs, that you got hit in the first stage, and you weren't good enough to recover. As Isai always says: Don't. Get. Hit. The offstage game is like transitioning in basketball: Without it, 1/2 the game is gone.
It would allow players to focus more on real combat if L-cancelling was automatic. If it was automatic, it's not like any "skill" is lost. Plus, unlike wavedashing, it doesn't contribute to things like spacing that you wouldn't be able to do easier (with proper programming) or isn't something that couldn't be put in the game that couldn't be done automatically.
You are the enemy.
Actually, after seeing how crazy the game is, I don't see how Wavedashing isn't normal. Especially when we have stuff like the Falco Phantasm, etc.
The guy who created the game, that's who. I like the way the game is very easy to learn and is very easy to get better where you don't have to even concentrate on memorizing he controls. The skill gap was more about actual practice beyond "button order memory" like dial-in combos are. You had to take more into account than that, which is a good thing. Basically, getting better is far more dynamic. But it also is easier too.
L-Cancelling was also depth. But that got sacrificed. Also, there's a difference between depth and depth that alienates players. Wavedashing went too far. L-Cancelling did it. Brawl was actually perfect in this regard. Players got better gradually and it was a lot easier to win, but it still had tons of depth. I don't think an OP ability is "adding depth", especially when it's not universal. I mean, while Infinites aren't universal, unlike wavedashing, those who do the infinites aren't able to do that to everybody. Wavedashing however, further unbalances the game and makes bad characters worse and good characters way too good. L-Cancelling did zip in that department. It stayed balanced.
Exactly why we don't need it back. We don't need L-Cancelling back, but atleast it was a great skill in general that was easy to learn and added depth to the game.
