I don't think a modded version of Street Fighter would be respected by the community like Project M was. A big part of fighting game culture is the arcade and you're not really going to see modded arcade cabinets anytime soon.

honestly, smash is gonna be irrelevant in your lives in five or so years most likely, and I'm pretty sure that 90% of the people in this thread aren't going anywhere with smash but "lol i got 7th at my PM weekly XDDDD ima be the best bowsa playa in da american!"

the future of this video game, project m and melee, are sadly not going to be huge parts of my life in the next five, even three years, so I honestly don't give an asteriskasteriskasteriskasterisk about it

I, thankfully, am capable of having fun in a context that does not necessarily involve proving to other people that I am superior to them, and as such I will probably continue to enjoy Smash and other video games indefinitely

 

[Smooth Criminal]

also after watching this I
a. want to play third strike
b. want to play oro even tho he seems like garbage lmao

he seems honestly kinda like luigi, relatively poke heavy and then running away otherwise

Oro's actually pretty damn hilarious if you know Tengu Stone setups/resets

Pretty much this for me. I like winning (obviously), but I relish playing with/against people and having fun while doing so.

Participating in a hobby for it's own sake is a bad thing?

just gonna say that smash has been a pretty relevant part of my life since melee came out, especially since most of my best friends are a direct result of the game. like bleck said, you don't need to be winning nationals (or anything, for that matter) for the game to matter or be important to your life.

try to keep in mind, also, that every single Smash game is designed first and foremost as a single-player experience - 95% of the content in every Smash game has nothing at all to do with multiplayer

[Vashimus]

I'm in agreement with the other guys. The "play to win" mentality is a bit short sighted. I mean... we're playing to have fun. Unless games hit the point where they are legitimate monetary sources (as of now they are an incredibly inefficient source), we are all at heart trying to enjoy ourselves. Winning is great and all, but that's just a piece of the puzzle. Why are you playing Project M and not Street Fighter? If you only care about winning and status, why did you choose this game?

You're right, many of us will never end up beating top level players or winning big name tournaments. That's okay, because the absolute value of winning in a game like this is pretty low - it's not like I can put it on a resume. If you're really after recognition, at the very least play SF instead of Project M. If you're really worried about how all your peers view your video game abilities, then I promise you there are other life skills and values you could work on that would make you infinitely more happy than grinding out your tech skill with Fox.

Excuse me, I got third! At a scene that wasn't very impressive to begin with but like yeah still
poor alabama

 

[Jolteon]

I've been through two periods where smash was going to 'die', when the scene was wayyyyy smaller than it currently is, and as a result am highly skeptical that it will die anytime soon.

Pretty much agree with everyone else, most people play smash because it's fun, not because they want to win.

 

[Deotay]

I want my TV back

When you send me the money to send the TV back sure. Which is an awful lot of money for a thing no one ever used.

But that's a lot of work fam, and I don't wanna do that. Can you send yourself money for me?

 

[Leafeon]

Sigh, I honestly have a lot of fun playing melee until ntsc sheik and ice climbers remind me what makes me not play this competitively

[Saxophoneoftime]

Just play on PAL !!

shiek mains are autistic

o-oh

 

[trash?]

Why are you playing Project M and not Street Fighter? If you only care about winning and status, why did you choose this game?

because winning hard at a fun thing is fun. like... that's one of the core basics of any competitive thing. by this standard, nobody should be speedrunning any game other than super mario 64 and OoT

good morning, I had the worst nap of my life and you're all being doofuses

 

[Jolteon]

o-oh

Good thing Sheik mains aren't.

 

[PlateProp]

Loooooooooooool

Ayy lmao

I was saying if winning and recognition was what you really cared about, then why not move on to a series with a higher pedigree and more pot bonuses than Project M ever will? Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't just be content with being just king of the anthill and would want to move on to bigger things.

Point was solving problems, coming up with strategies and adapting on the fly is why we play fighting games, you dummkopf

 

[trash?]

but such an argument still downplays how the "winning" part remains heavily important for that competition to be fun to begin with, as that remains the core of which all competitive concepts are built around

I will throw like, one snowball at you. it'll take me all day to get all the snow currently in vancouver but I'll do it I swear

 

[Professor Gravy]

Solving problems coming up with strategies and adapting on the fly are still winning. You don't need to beat your opponent to to feel the satisfaction of victory; personal victories are just as much a part of winning as actually beating your opponent.

 

[standardtoaster]

oh yea, trash? how is your chest doing? i remember you said you were having coughing pain from your ribs

 

[trash?]

oh yea, trash? how is your chest doing? i remember you said you were having coughing pain from your ribs

it lasted a lot longer than I expected, but it's healed up well now

I still have a cough that's lasted forever but this is likely because I never bother to layer up outside since my brain still takes vancouver winter as "well, it's not ontario winter, you can prolly just go out with a tshirt and coat right"

 

[MechWarriorNY]

Solving problems coming up with strategies and adapting on the fly are still winning. You don't need to beat your opponent to to feel the satisfaction of victory; personal victories are just as much a part of winning as actually beating your opponent.

This is a super, SUPER important concept that cannot be overemphasized. Actually winning at things is nice, but doing stuff genuinely worth being a little smug about is a huge deal.

Problem is there are a lot of fun games. So really will you be playing smash?

try to keep in mind, also, that every single Smash game is designed first and foremost as a single-player experience - 95% of the content in every Smash game has nothing at all to do with multiplayer

Melee, Smash 3ds, and probably Smash 4 have awful single player experiences.

Multiplayer is the draw.
