Idiot...
If people want to get REALLY good, going to tourneys with no casuals or nothing to be prompt for a tournament will keep you at admittingly low levels of game play with hardly any noticeable progression (for it's a slower process that way), if you want to be pro you need casuals, tourney experiance, wifi, and another thing people need to start doing is searching the boards for strategies / matchup experience that can help you understand your character better..
Simple as that don't tell me otherwise, the handful I listed are the only ones who do those things, I don't care if it sounds insulting I want my scene to get better and said what needs to be done and I'll be there for my scene, like the legend they call MDK..
firstly, not everyone wants to get "REALLY good".
i will tell you otherwise, given that the things you have said above are your opinion.
another thing you might learn in university. in debate:
OPINION IS MEANINGLESS.
POSITION IS EVERYTHING.
we cannot debate opinions. they are dead ends. you have to take a position to have constructive debate.
that is important because your opinion about how much people are working to improve is meaningless. you might argue that your position is that you feel people haven't improved because they have put in no effort. but your position is ill founded for two reasons. one, it is not certain that effort = improvement. the degree to which that improvement manifests itself is less so. two, you have no idea what work they are doing.
for example. personally i like the game, want to improve at it, but am perfectly satisfied my current ratio of effort going into smash and real life. i also feel that i do the things that you have listed i should, but have simply not become as good as other players. what i dont understand, however, is how you can speak for the things i have done.
again, i will grant you that everyone has not improved as much as as quickly as you have, so maybe they aren't doing as much work as you. maybe they can't learn as quickly. maybe you're just special. who knows. the results have not been the same, but i see no reason to say that everyone is just sitting around and doing nothing. it makes people who have been putting in effort seem like they are lazy and uninterested. in essence, all i really see is you calling people out for not being as good as you.

i quote myself here, about direct action..
more power to you, do what you can to improve it.
but firstly, theres no action like direct action (look it up, and if there are any anarchists here i salute you). this scene has been the way it is for a long time, and i'm pretty sure that no one plans to do something. the only real answer is direct action. that would be to do it yourself instead of talking about it. indirect action has gone on long enough as i'm sure you know. i'm not saying its your responsibility to fix everything, but if youre going to complain about it and propose solutions, IMO you shouldn't waste any time before acting on them.
so if you want to make casuals, make them. if you want people to train with you online, ask them. if people dont want to ask you, they won't.
i dont understand man. i said it before and i'll say it again.
youre skills man no doubt. none at all. im sure anyone who objects would be laughed out of this thread.number one in our region and im willing to be pretty **** good anywhere else.
but just because people aren't as good as you doesn't mean they aren't trying to get better.
also, to close, im just saying i dont think joe's an "idiot".
