"Eh, my own success makes me believe it can be reproduced on a higher level by someone of higher skill than me"
well first of all, that doesn't make sense. if you're successful against noobs/average players, it doesn't mean your strategy will work vs more experienced players. second, you keep adding in hints that say "i'm a good player":
"I play Ike like Azen does, and I play MK like Forte does "
"I do believe that brawl is a new game and I've played enough to compete"
"I could come up with a great strategy, and it could work really well"
i know you don't believe you're top, but from what you've posted, it seems that you think you're pretty **** good
and no, my other post was not opinion. smash videos are bad at showing actual skill in the game
It's so easy to take peoples words out of context and string them together to make them mean whatever you want, isn't it? Okay, here goes, I'm going to re-contextualize and support everything I said in as clear a format as I can just for you, okay?
Quote one:You say it doesn't mean the hypothetical strategy I, or anyone, could come up with, would no neccecarily be effective at pro level. That does *not* mean that it can't be effective, and the only reason I wouldn't say I could try this out myself is because I haven't spent the time to get quite that good yet.
#2: I said I play "like" them, I use the same strategies/attempted combos and such. I did *not* say I was as good as them, they have better spacing than me, and they use a few things that I don't and should.
#3: While I don't think I'm as good as people like azen or forte, I think I'm good enough to put up a challenge to most people, thus, compete. You don't have to be very good to be worthy to at least compete and get out there.
#4: you took this TOTALLY out of context, this was a hypothetical saying that less skilled players can still come up with effective strategies, i.e. ME being the less skilled player compared to the top players.
I do think I'm good, that's not arrogance, I'm not saying "Lawla im awesum nd i can beat n e 1 here", I played melee for a good while in the competitive scene, and I did well, likewise, I'm going to do the same with brawl. I think with enough time and practice, about anyone with a passion can become pro at any game.
There, I spoon fed you the exact reason for everything I said, in context, with extra information, now can you please get off my case and focus on the actual convorsation going on here instead of attacking people personally?
