Gimpyfish's impression thread is cool and all, but how much credit does it really command? I say not much.
Brawl was the main draw of the show, which required time to wait in line. So let's be realistic and say that Gimpy played around ten 2 minutes matches. So that's 20 minutes of pure game play time, times = 80 mins or 1 hour 20, heck let's just say that 1 and half hour of pure playing time. Oh mind you that during this 1 and half hour game play time, there were crazy booth teens screaming at his ear with down times (wait in line) after every 2 minutes. So he had to accurate remember and report all the show characters, trophies, modes, pokeballs, and stages? And how many matches did he just playing with Bowser? Doesn't sound too legit of a impression to me.
As you may already know, the demo displayed during E for all had 2 different control schemes; the classic or wiimote. It's safe to say that we who read the smashboards are going to use either the GC or Classic controller scheme, right? But that doesn't even matter, b/c who knows how many Gimp's "impression" are derived from the wiimote scheme alone? Once again, doesn't sound too legit to me.
Finally, Gimp's impression is full of bias and personal opinions. Forget about his blatant hype over his favorite character Bowser, who has a weak recovery and huge frame that is screaming garbage tier. Who knows he could be good with FS.....NOT. Forget about his rant over Iks, b/c you can't blame people spamming his Fsmash during their demo time, it's a satisfying move, which gave a impression of slow animations, yes I am aware of his supposed "slowness", but if I remembered it right, Marth wasn't that welcome of a character in Melee as well, until Ken came along of course. I can't believe his rants over Iks' recovery, which is a much better one than Bowser's, plus super armor, what's not to like? You can always use Air Dodges in Brawl to hug the edge.
But the most disgusting feature of Gimpy's post, is that the ridiculous coinings of the supposed and unconformed "advanced techs." How disgusting this is in his post you ask? Well, you named it he wrote it. OMG, a simple explained air dodge to the edge was coined as "wallhug" after the smash player Hugs. A well known Melee tech, the wavelanding, were called, yes, hear this: the moneySlide, or $Slide. But it doesn't end here, no it's not. The most ridiculous and embarrassing feature of Gimp's post is the tech which is now supposely called: Ink Drop, yes I repeat: Ink Drop, from this nobody Inkslide or slingshot or whatever.
It's was pretty much an simple animation after dash that at this point according to Gimp that may or may not be canceled. So Gimp was basically trying to coin a tech that may not even exist or applicable in the first place. Yea it was that disgusting. Forget about his ego, and arrogance, let's just say that his impression is getting out of hand and lost credibility pretty much when it was first started.
My final thought is that being able to attend E 4 all and representing the smashboards should have been regarded a great privilege for Gimp, not an easy opportunity to be taken advantage in the expense of smash community. I am for one is completely disgusted by his post.
