You're absolutely right.
If you're not playing someone in a money match, tournament game, or a set with any kind of reward except for seeing your character on the win screen, you are not playing that person at their best.
Fact is when there's something on the line (Money, Tournament Win, Random Prize) you generate pressure. There is pressure on both players to win and if they can cope with that pressure than their game will improve. They will focus more and thus react faster and generally play better. If said person cannot handle the pressure however, or is put under additional pressure in the game itself, then their game is likely to fall apart. (See: Mindgames)
It's not something you control, it's subconcious.

ugh. thought about argueing there but vs bb I'm never gonna win. basically I just think you shouldn't have to pay people for them to play well.

maybe it's just me but I don't really like money matches. I just play them and lose to whoever it might be against 
BloodBowler

You don't have to pay people to get them to play well, you have to pay people to get them to play their best. There's a very big difference.

I play to my own level when I play. I just like gambling. I don't like losing. Ask Joe after our 8 hour marathon of smash where I think lost once.

I spoke to Phil (Reacher) yesterday and he might be coming to this! He's not 100% confirmed yet, but hopefully he should make it.
Charlie: Anytime after 12 is ok but after 3 would probably be best.
Also guys check this out, it's a link to the forum for ESA2 (Epita Smash Arena 2) in France. I'm going to try and make it and i suggest you all think about going too. For starters food and housing are included in the entry fee, plus flights to Paris aren't that much either. Also if you are ever going to go to France you might as well go to Paris. Finally out of all the smashers i met in Sweden i have to say that the French were my favourites!

BB we can discuss more about ESA2 when everyone is over this weekend. I just wanted everyone to see the thread and think about it.
I'd also like to remind everyone to bring something to sleep in and/or on, the floors here aren't particularly comfy and there isn't much spare bedding/sleeping bags to go around.
Edit: Ant put the vids thread link on the first page!!! Oh and upload more vids
