If it isn't fun, then why play with him? I think your energies would be better spent playing a different game with him (it it's that extreme), and/or play Brawl with someone else.Its annoying factor that makes the game less interesting esp. since it was a pit and he curved when i jumped i just dont get how you see standing in one spot pressing one button a tactic
Yes they do(I think wingdash beats pits arrows I don't actually have a pit opponent) then you should be fine.
No Rhy your not even close, i didnt complain i called it gay because thats all he did. Its more like a goaly only using his head, thats all he did.If it isn't fun, then why play with him?

It isn't fair for him, to hear from you, that he shouldn't do something allowed with in the rules of the game. It's like telling a Soccer player to not kick the ball (hyperbole).
First off ryazan dont ever disrespect my pit without playing it. I never said i couldnt get around it. I said it was irritating, spamming your talking about is okay start off 3 arrows run attack dodge grab throw 3 arrows back up 2 arrows shield grab down throw uair 2 arrows.Says the person who can't get around spammers. Seriously, it's a legitimate tactic. It's just pressuring with projectiles. There is nothing wrong with that at all. It's bad in some situations and good in others. If it works, do it and ignore your opponent's whining. If you whine about spammers, you don't deserve to say they have no skill, because if you have to whine about them, neither do you.
NC i know what you mean its something to help you but not if its only thing you do. Im not complaining and not saying he shouldnt use them its the sad truth if its the only thing you knowThere's a reason arrows can't kill well.
Palutena's Arrows are a great thing to fall back on in situations where it is unsafe to venture to where the opponent is, or you cannot get to them fast enough to perform a real attack. Pit was designed to be doing small kicks of damage until the opponent is weak enough to ring out, and the arrows are just part of this overall strategy.
However if someone's strategy revolves around only using Pit's B-moves, they will not KO anyone who knows how to play the game, and will be swiftly defeated. To complain about such tactics is naive- they're only as strong as your incompetence.
However, on the flip side, avoiding using the arrows simply to avoid being called a spammer is stupid. I've seen too many tournament levels where arrows aren't used more than one at a time, and I'm thoroughly disappointed. Like any move, it exists to be used, and is only truly effective in certain situations.
You're funny, Rhyfelwyr.If you're still able to beat him, then what's the problem? Everyone is free to play the game with their own style. If spamming is the way he enjoys playing the game, why stop him?
Lmao im not trying to impress anyone in this quote below it followed my responses as if you were addressing me, if you werent i apologize.Sir Lucario, when did I ever say I was talking about you? I was just saying that in general, people who complain about spammers complain because they don't have the skill to get around it. You seem to be trying to give me the impression that you're really good. If that's true, and if you find spammers so annoying, kick their *****, show them who's boss, and see if they ever mess with you again.

First off how is spamming a tactis? How is being as gay as possible morally okay. And dude the invention of guns? Dude guns kill people!!!!!! You cant compare u shouldnt even have said that. Also you said when a spammer approaches?!?! Dude spamming im talking about dont move just shoot arrows where is the approach? Dude i wanna play you and show you what spamming is.Is spamming a legitimate tactic? Yes.
Is it morally right? Absolutely.
That is why we humans invented guns. So we could camp and spam kills all day long.
Now as time progressed we humans got pretty annoyed by campers/spammers so we invented Mirror shields and Angel rings... Oh Wait! That is only Pit, silly me.
Yes Spamming is okay, is it fun? OVER 9000% of the time NO. But learn from a camper, I find that when they are approached up close, their first instinct is usually the same instinct that a normal person has when getting comboed. Meaning watch there rolls and dodges, cause a normal person will usually fall into the same pattern. You can just study it more with a spammer cause their are more opportunities to see it.
It is in a game, therefore it is a tactic. If it wasn't in the game then we wouldn't be having this disscusion.First off how is spamming a tactis?
Umm... is it destorying your life, or causeing you stress that affects real life performance, or worst case scenario killing someone. If you said yes to those, then I am 100% wrong. If not then it must be okay because you dont think anything bad will happen from it, besides the spammer getting killed.How is being as gay as possible morally okay.
Actually I do believe I can, and I just did. But the point of that analogy is that it is a real life tactic. Do you go and run up to someone with a gun and try to hit them with a sword in real life, ummm if you do then I would go see a therapist or something. But Since you are sensible you don't, he thinks the same way. "I have a long ranged weapon at mydisposal, I think I should use it to keep my opponent away. That way he has a much harder time hitting me." That is why the gun analogy works.And dude the invention of guns? Dude guns kill people!!!!!! You cant compare u shouldnt even have said that.
NEVER SAID ANYTHING OF THE SORT. READ MOAR. In you anger you skipped over the part where I said "I find that WHEN THEY ARE APPROACHED up close."Also you said when a spammer approaches?!?!
Definition from dictionary.comNo Rhy your not even close, i didnt complain i called it gay because thats all he did. Its more like a goaly only using his head, thats all he did.
It's true though. The very purpose of a game is to have fun. If the game allows someone to do something they think is fun, why stop them? Now if they are doing something that does affect the fun for others, it's not their fault they can do it, it's the games fault for not including better rules or boundaries. I.E. a MMORPG not including a mute option for spammers is the games fault.You're funny, Rhyfelwyr.
How is it unfair? Both players can do it, and it isn't a dominating strategy.In my opinion I dislike spamming, because I know other people hate it when there getting spammed to a critical damage and the the spammer does a smash attack on them and you die. So I try to not spam to make the game fair.
But spamming is a good tactic when it comes to winning an unfair game.
lmao i love the analogySir Lucario, if I fire a machine gun, am I gay because I'm spamming? Exactly.
And I only said "you" in that quote because I didn't want to change the "you"s to "one"s and sound like a total smart-***.
yea i feel the same wayThis thread makes me sad.
greatest point in this thread. maybe a little mean tho.Sir Lucario: Stop being a scrub. If this guy's spamming is truly as one-dimensional as you say, then it can't be that hard to beat the living crap out of him. Personally, I doubt he'd continue doing it if he didn't have some amount of success with it, so either he's got a more refined strategy than you describe, or you're just not any good at the game.
I kill with arrows all the time. ^_^There's a reason arrows can't kill well.
Not mean. Honest. I don't have anything against the guy personally. I just think that generally the only way to overcome scrubbiness is the hard way-- john until people start to hate you for it, and eventually you realize you're never going to get anywhere in the community by complaining about what everyone else does instead of working to overcome your own faults. It's how I did it, how everyone I know has done it, and honestly, I think this process is really healthy for anybody looking to become involved in competitive play.greatest point in this thread. maybe a little mean tho.
I don't have a video but I've killed MK's off the top a couple times. It always gets that same reaction, though-- "YOU KILLED ME WITH ARROWS!"

Thanks, but I don't generally have a lot to contribute since I lack videos and most of what I would describe as my Pit "style" is covered by other people already.second greatest point in this thread.
I never see you in the pit forums up until now. post more in other threads!
so? you should still post at least get to know other pit players. btw i dont have any vids and no style is technically the same. anyways you should post in my thread or anywhere else since it seems as if you could bring some useful information.Thanks, but I don't generally have a lot to contribute since I lack videos and most of what I would describe as my Pit "style" is covered by other people already.
Right. I'll see what I can do.so? you should still post at least get to know other pit players. btw i dont have any vids and no style is technically the same. anyways you should post in my thread or anywhere else since it seems as if you could bring some useful information.
