WRONG! Sorry, but I had to get this out here. If Sakurai intended the game to be played with items and only items, he wouldn't have given us an option to turn them off, now would he? It's our decision whether we WANT to or NOT, and it has been therefore the DECISION of the COMPETITIVE, let me say it once more for emphasis, COMPETITIVE scene to play without them. Why? Who gives a ****! I'm not gonna explain it because it is irrelevant. It was their choice as a community and it isn't stopping you from playing with them.
I'll still MM you, just not for 100$. ;>_>LOL sliq, you know that huge amonts of money put down like that would attract players from the the tournament threads like me
but you are right, I havent met a causual that gave me any challenge in this game since I myself was one before I crossed the line to competitive.
casuals should also cross that line instead of yelling and trying to be heard from the other side.
Even in the quote box you quoted me on, it proves something. I never did say " Sakurai intended the game to be played with only items." did I. Read a little more carefully next time please. Though I will admit on my part I probably should have added made it be "Sakurai originally intended the game to be played with OR without items and not just no items solely.", my bad, but still; you have a bad, too.
Beats me dude, I said the same thing lonnng way ago.
MikeG noticed that this thread was crouch canceling, and came in to deliver a dress that shattered the world.

Only way you could discredit that is to say everyone beneath him (who were probably likely using AT's), simply just sucked at Melee. In which case, if you do, it can be then said that even with AT's, if someone else sucks less than you even if they're casual, they can still beat you. If you disagree with the previous sentence however, it can be easily said that AT's then do not entirely decide wether someone is "sucky" or not. Slivik had crossed the line being casual, if not at the very least treaded past it even slightly.
If you knew how awesome Mike G was you would have put more than a mere elipsis :-P. I'm not just saying that because he was one of the most influential Peach players worldwide, he also happens to be one of the nicest most laid back human being on the planet.
How important shffling is depends on the character you play. You can excel with certain characters without it
It still stands that if you can't shffl then you aren't very good. I say that because shffl'ing is rather simple, and if you are going that far out of your way to avoid learning how to learn that I can't imagine someone getting that great. It also goes without saying that it limits your character choices.
Actually, he can be discredited if the tournament was a bracket, and if the bracket was seeded retardedly. If the all of the best teams were on one side of the bracket, and he was on the other, that could account for their placement, because all of the better veterans would be busy knocking each other out while him and his partner played weaker opponents.
Fair enough, you're not slacking in that area too much either.
Fair enough too, neither of us can really know, regardless I stand by my last statement in by doing so I mean that I think that at the least it was an okay argument.
I can attest to this happening quite often actually. I don't know how many times I run into the top players of tournaments early on and get tossed into loser's bracket, just to slaughter some random dude 3 rounds in. I have no idea how that dude managed to get that far AT ALL. It actually happened at the most recent tournament I attended.
I haven't really ever had a murder bracket or a bracket that was overly easy, but I know people have.
Well, you're right about that. In singles I took out FOB, a decent doc main(i think he has some vids on youtube if you doubt his skill level). It was definitely an upset. I really wish the guy posted brackets because I cant even remember all the teams we played. It was such an epic tournament looking at who showed up. I probably had an easier bracket than most though looking at the results. For what its worth, TA seeded the bracket(pretty sure it was g-reg or plank). I doubt they would seed terribly.
There is a HUGE variety in skill with competitive people. My guess is that he wasn't that great by competitive standards. Do you remember what he went by?
It depends on if they seeded it, or like had RR first, because someone good can just play like an idiot and take like 3rd seed when they could easily get 1st seed, messing up the brackets.
You were not pleased... but...
Silarobe God I think...
lol, chillin always messes around in pools
I know, he did it at FC too...I really hate that kind of thing because it can basically **** up an entire bracket.
Cute fluffy animals are ridiculously unfair weapons (especially puppies).
