No I'm a ****** I just talk random crap and just wait to get called out by your highness.
Happy now?
Im not happy, you're not ******** and you don't wait. You just consistently get called out for garbage LMAO.
2 stock would actually make me play even more campy since I can't make up for anything with only so few tries / not many allowed "mistakes"/take risks.
Go for it. If you play someone better than you, or good anyway you're going to camp like that regardless. If my friendlies with you already go to time, it's not going to be ANY different. However, now because there are less stocks the community and the viewers don't have to be bored ****less for like.... 8-10 minutes and instead just 6.
Also not camping, making a read and getting a reward while risky has a much bigger payoff. Getting the gimp/fart/falco cg whatever in 2 stocks is much more significant than in 1 stock. And if you have to play gay to evade them, that's the nature of the game, but it just takes less time.
clearly
And I'm getting the feeling that a lot of people are thinking shorter matches = better and longer matches = worse, why is this?
1 stock I feel is drastically different than 3, but 2...not really. Then again, I've never really tried 2.
Shorter doesn't necessarily mean better, but average brawl matches are wayyyy to long. 1 stock is a very big change, I think many in the community would have trouble reacting with it. 2 stock however in many ways is close enough to feel at home, but the pace of the matches is just sped up significantly.
I haven't seen planking being a problem.
bunn'd ermediately
Single elimination and/or Bo1 "sets" would make the tournament shorter, and that's definitely a viable "solution" to the problem (and there is a problem) with how long tournaments can run. I have been in tournaments where we were kicked out of the venue because we were there too late, forcing a grand finals split. LOL It's hard to say tourneys don't run too long.
I have had similar experiences, and agree
In EU i've never been kicked out the venue persay, but **** runs overboard even at nationals.
Hosts just need to be more strict with the time limit.
It's not that simple.
Efficiency could go up as an option, but past a certain point even with TO's that don't allow friendlies and run everything smoothly we have still seen problems. It's the nature of brawl to take long.
It's probably the most stressful competitive fighter out right now, not because it's so deep but because you essentially have to camp through garbage for 8 minutes soley to get a win, and losing is pain staking. Getting timed out, or losing in marvel or SF is not nearly as bad because it's not so ****ing dead in terms of gameplay half the time, and even then sets don't take 30 minutes. It's a short pain but it's over when it's over.
At the same point going to tournaments, especially as a mid level player and essentially being forced to do nothing and play only bracket matches with no friendlies is not appealing to new players or for the well being of the community.
