If you don't think shield dropping or parrying changes the game, then idk what to tell you. I can't speak for parrying since I don't play Yoshi, but shield dropping has hardly even been scratched past the surface by 99.9% of even above average players. When I've seen the handful of players that do utilize it, their opponents are absolutely clueless about how to deal with it properly. The shield dropping metagame is basically equivalent to the spacing metagame before WDing.
there used to be crew tourneys as well back in the day
Ya to me it doesn't change the game that much, I only need to see it once before I can come up with ways to deal with it. But ya I guess for the avg player it's much different
Well if you can't even understand something like that then you must be even worse than the avg player. Oh and **** you.You have to realise that Kage's writing is entirely comprised of generic warrior-esque cliches. He throws it at a topic and hopes someone interprets something relevant and profound.
my record so far is one random match in GSC, I had Blissey and my opponent has Electrode using Thunder. Out of 16 Thunder uses, all 16 hit, the first one paralyzed and 10 of them crit.
why? it's still pretty controversial to claim that fox is the best character. there's no clear-cut winner between the two.
I've insisted on that while we were doing the 2010 Tier List and like every single person in the mbr was against it :'(
they're pretty obviously equal in terms of competitive viability and they're equal in the tier list vote, whether you look at the 2010 vote or the prospective vote from this week. Why does one have to be "better"? What does that even mean when they're seen as equal and perform near equally?
Even under my cleaner definition, the tier list is about as useful as our opinions. What are the opinions of MBR members really worth?
And change all matchups to Even, slight ad/disavantage, or 90-10.
No, that's completely wrong. It should be:
A tier-list is kinda stupid if it's not going to be thorough enough to break down each character's placement. Ties simply aren't good enough.
If we specified each character placement in a specific manner, we'd have 26 tiers. Placing multiple characters in a tier suggests that they are even. We really place too much weight on characters being better than each other within a tier, which makes no sense.
This is why you and I should be allowed in the MBR, we would streamline that ****. Most efficient and well run the Melee scene would ever be
Placing multiple characters within a tier does not suggest they are even, it suggests that they are of comparable viability, more specifically it suggests that they are of closer viability than either groups above or beneath them. To go from their to say that they should all be treated as equal is a large stretch.
It also probably wouldnt work. We'd need to weigh certain match-ups more heavily, as having better high tier match-ups is far more meaningful than having good low tier match-ups. But that would require us to ALREADY have a tier implemented.
comparable viability is suggesting that they are even for all practical purposes, it's the same thing. we are ranking them by relative goodness for a tournament setting.
I have an honest question about this. Are you referring to "a tournament setting" meaning a national tournament setting? I am by no means an expert and haven't been involved in the community very long but at a local and regional level falcon seems pretty viable to me.
But players like s2j and ss (sorry I'm from California) have competed very respectably and consistently in regions where top level play is the norm.
I don't really know what else you want me to say.
We assume top level play. While I do agree that s2j and SS among others are incredibly talented, I think the character hits a glass ceiling of sorts at nationals, and it's rare to see a falcon in say the top 4.
i don't think his match-ups matter.
I think you're the only european on this site that i like.
