I do watch vids on a regular basis, but I get obsessed with lots of video games not just smash, and watch speedruns of other games I've beat or have played a little, and even some games I've never played

like
fear , ninja gaiden, system shock 2, resident evil 4... i have so many on that list lol

as for smash I always watch vids, usually tourney matches though.

Why not click on the thread name to read the question first before reading the replies..? Or just read the replies on the last page, then go to the first, read the question and then reply on the same page lol.

It's better than having to weed out posts on the latest pages to find the new question IMO.

As for the question: Yes, I do on my spare time. Sometimes more than once depending on the match. If I'm watching it for the second (or even third) time, I try to pick up on as much new things as possible.

NEW QUESTION ON FIRST PAGE!

My response:

GO READ THE QUESTION ON THE FIRST PAGE!!!!

I dont think controller johns are legit, but cold hand johns are. When my hands are cold, I have to play Peach, and I have to sit there spamming downsmash until my hands warm up.

controller johns are NOT legit unless it falls apart during a match. I think cold hand johns, sick johns, and emo johns are legit.

controller johns are ok if you mean like your hands are cold and need to warm up then i guess

controller johns are not legit unless the controller actually doesn't work

in which case get a new controller ******, still not legit

cold hand johns -- legit

no other johns are legit except crowd johns, but that's more a matter of home field advantage than anything, and even then, those aren't legit

so in the end only cold hand johns are legit lololol

throwing your controller down and being pissed at it is not legit.

cold hand johns are legit, i agree with P lol

I'm curious how you guys think that you "normally" play

lots of johns can be legit; the main thing is that nobody else cares about hearing about them

Once again, ran outta question, so these are Ps. (Giving credit, where credit is due.)

Do you believe in controller johns? Are there any other johns you think are legitimate excuses?

_______-

I think this should be on every last page.

No legit on the controller johnz.

glare johns are legit tho

cold hands johns are legit.

"I lost cuz I have to switch between Brawl and Melee" johns are illegit. They're different games with (imo) vastly different physics and mechanics. If you want to be considered the best you can't just rest on your laurels and just use brawl as the scapegoat. (Hi Mew2king!)

"I'm rusty" johns.... I don't know what to think. I mean on one hand, if I were to play some amazing player who was rusty and I won, would that make me the better player at the time? Even though I know they can play better than that, is it my fault they lost? I'm kinda torn on this one.

Sick johns are legit I suppose.

"I need to warm up johns" are kinda legit, but not in tournament.

Glare johns are pretty legit... never thought about that.

Cold hand johns are also legit.

Controller johns are not legit... unless the controller is actually screwed up.

Edit: Switching from Brawl to Melee johns are LEGIT. Sup Fly <3

exactly. Even if brawl does make your melee game worse, the fact that you're johning about it means you knew that beforehand, so you could've just not played brawl. Simple.

brand new controller johns are ok. to play falco or fox you need a broken in controller.

if you play peach or marth i dont think it matters too much.

"ive been playing brawl" johns would just be an embarrassing event.
