Pardon me? You think Pit is a stupid choice? Solid Snake? Metaknight?... You might wanna explain yourself. If any Nintendo character deserves the spotlight again, it's Pit. I defy you to find a Nintendo IP more popular and fitting than Kid Icarus that hasn't been revived yet.
Yes, that was me and my crappy falcon.

Kithkin's performance at the eleventh bi-weekly was enough to turn some heads and make us all question why we seemed to have such a hard time beating such a technically novice player.
You did excellent, beating everyone you played at least once and I will admit outright that I didn't count on having you in the upper ranks of a tournament for a loooong time. Thus, I was forced to actually divert my attention to your playstyle and discover that there are a lot of basic things you do a lot better than most players. Like struggling out of grabs; you're much quicker on that than most! I'll be paying closer attention next time around.OR we could fund the study on Pro Impact Fund dollars!
What with all the discussion, I did the test myself between my TV in my bedroom and the HD one upstairs with Fox drillshine combos in training mode. The difference is subtle, but it is there and I can understand how it would be more difficult to play such a responsive character with even a slight lag in the image. That said, it certainly wasn't impossibly difficult but I did have to consciously delay the L-cancel a smidge in order for the combos to register. Your notion of "guys like Randall and Mich play just as well on a conventional TV" plants an interesting seed of doubt in my game and I can't help but think that maybe, just maybe, it does cripple me a little to play on a regular TV. I've played for more Smash on normal TVs, but the only real heavy training of the metagame has happened on the HDTV, so there may be no way of knowing for sure. The best solution for me is to just not worry about it, train a little on both TVs and see if I can't subconsciously adapt when I plug in for a match. For those of you who don't have HDTVs (or time), this obviously won't work to curb the lag problem. In the end, both players are playing with the same disadvantage, just as if both players were playing while hanging upside down; the better player will still win in most cases and a few frames of lag will not make or break the outcome of the match.
Yoshi's a very challenging character and none of us play against him too often. I hope you'll come to some future tournaments regardless of which character you choose, though, you played very well! And different from the others too; adding a little variety to the competition is, as we know, the best way to continue strengthening everyone's overall skill.
This above all things is perhaps the truest statement ever uttered in our thread.
Shouldn't the numbering be:
No, I've never understood why tournament results tend to be produced that way, but I wish someone could shed the light on it and tell me if there is actually a good reason.
O rly? All my wasted years of playing in interlaced.
