Hmmm Pop, me and Dojo talked a little about the community like some time today. This PR list has truly shown(forgive me U EXPOSED LOVERS) a different side of people. We also talked about how the game is progressively becoming not about how i can beat my opponent but how can I outgay them. The community is really starting to take a turn for the worse. Yeah, this thread has shown how competitive our community really is, which isnt necessarily a bad thing but man, watching Esca and CY throw arguments against one of their own was really hard to read. On the last PR, my bro flip was one spot of ahead me. Instead of posting tournament results and the like, I practiced ALOT, changed my entire style, learned more techniques, studied the character from the bottom up. Now im higher than him, and now its his turn to step it up. Its all about the way in which u look at the PR. I had my own issues with plenty of the lists that the PR have put up yet i have chosen pretty much every time to not say anything. Why? Simply put, the PR is just a collective opinion by knowledgeable players. Its only their opinion, why fret so much. In the period i was ranked 15th in Texas, I took out DMG who was second at the time and almost took out Roy who was first. The funny part, those matches were back to back. At that point i realized that the PR is meant to inspire people to get better, to inspire for smashers to reach for those amazing individuals at the top.
After reading this thread a little more I have a lot on mind. Im starting to really think about why i play this game and what I want to accomplish from it. Though i love this game, its far from perfect. The thing that keeps me going this awesome community that I love, and the lifelong friends that I've made. I hope we as a community we can put all this behind us.
Im not really use to posting stuff like this. This isn't mean to bash anyone in anyway, I just had something I needed to get off my chest.
