I don't use ZSS anymore, honestly, but if you want me to practice and keep her polished for teams, I'll do that. I'm all Marth now, with a mix of Sonic. And if push come to shove, I can use MK, as well, but I'm sure there are ways to beat a team with an MK on it, but duo MKs is just bull**** on fire.
Even then. I would rather have played Wakka to the best of his knowledge, instead of having to play Wakka with the best of AZ's knowledge.Sovereign: sorry. Coaching wasn't banned here. So basically I told wakka to glide toss backwards. Poor marf
Hahaha, amen.
Thanks man, means a lot. I won't let you down.
Brawl is a mental game; coaching can help determine the outcome of a match, and as such is generally frowned upon. It's about on the same level as screaming "Yeah, **** you you ****ing SUCK" at his opponent nonstop the entire game, except it has a larger effect on outcome.
Awww. Are you serious? xD
So, now this about why it doesn't make people better, instead of why it shouldn't be allowed? If you could give me a legitimate topic to stay on, I might waste more of my time on answering you.No, screaming at your opponent is very unsportsmanlike, and, thus, frowned upon. Coaching should not affect anything. It's telling a friend how to overcome a problem they have against their opponent. They get better in the process. The opponent has to try to figure out how to beat his answer. They get better in the process. I have no idea what you are whining about.
Sovereign, if you could actually give me a legitimate reason why it doesn't make people better and not make a stupid response post, that'd be great. Thanks.
Fonz taught me most of what I know about Ganon. I can compete with him, but his MU experience is far better than my own.
You'll never improve that way, at least for anything long term. In fact, it's basically accepting someone to hold your hand throughout your entire developmental process as a player, which will most likely leave you vulnerable and unable to think for yourself as well when you're playing on your own.No, screaming at your opponent is very unsportsmanlike, and, thus, frowned upon.

Yup, with even more Bead art stuff. The yoshi's we have from Yoshi's Island are pretty big, so we're sellin' them for $7 each. They look kinda like this:
Standing behind a player and telling them what to do is also very unsportsmanlike. Try going into a chess tournament and telling people what to do, and they'll flip. Brawl is also a mental game; it takes a lot of time, study, and effort to get good. When someone uses the time THEY spent studying to launch someone else forward in the middle of a match, it is no longer about the two players playing against each other. Neither player actually "gets better". It's a momentary boost, otherwise people would just read to get better if it was so permanent. The advice given is always something incredibly specific to that player, something that people need to figure out on their own.No, screaming at your opponent is very unsportsmanlike, and, thus, frowned upon.

My girlfriend and I make them, so we can make multiple copies. :B
Make one with "Sov" somewhere on it, please, and I'll buy if/when I next see you guys. SiiS6 is the next tournament I'm going to, but not participating in, due to having drill that weekend.
Haha, I'll let her take that challenge.
I can blame my losses on other people all the time. If I'm owning some Snake main because he always air dodges back to the stage and I catch him, then some guy says "he's reading your air dodge every time" and then he beats me, that guy is responsible.
How unfortunate... Tell me what game you do play, and I'll pick it up, play you, and have an appropriate player coach me. If it's Street Fighter, I'll have Renegade coach me, and you'll be done for. Instead of talking, I'd rather physically prove my point to you, so that you understand why it shouldn't be allowed during a game.
Disrespect isn't tolerated my way, so I would kindly suggest you not do it. You're simply misinterpreting my chosen method to make it clear that coaching is tilted, and that it negates what tournaments, especially in Brawl's case, are about, since you've had more than one person defend the point that it shouldn't be allowed. You say it should be allowed because, somehow, both players learn. I say it shouldn't be allowed because the one on one aspect of singles tournaments are destroyed by the simple fact that two heads are greater than one.
Not to burst your bubble, but tournaments aren't smashfests. You learn at tournaments, but you don't go to tournaments with the predisposition that it was created for you to learn. It was created for a competition. We make friends at tournaments too, but splitting is discouraged despite its connection with friendship. Yes, you can learn, but you can't justify hurting someone else's set to further your own goals. Competition first.
