The PAL version should have been the tourney standard a long time ago.

I shouldn't even really have to explain why.
At first it wasn't readily available over here and I understand that.
but times have changed.
Or am I missing something?

yes you are fun fact at least 90% of the tournment goes do not have Pal and really that's very unfair to them tto ask them to train on a different game. As a pichu main I would not care much for Pal even if it does help him a s*** lot.

the us destroys europe in every way, but that doesn't change the fact that the pal version is more balanced, and imo would be better for the tournament scene over here... but i can't see it happening; there are too many logistical hurdles.

As someone who makes a bold (and ********) statement and then claims they shouldn't even have to explain why they're correct, you're definitely one to throw stones

the pal version is the only way that peach players will even remotely stand a chance against sheik players. it's like, 50/50 in pal, and 65/35 in ntsc (sheik's favor).

im pretty sure amsah and armada would agree with me, here

I refuse to play a game where they hurt the good characters as a way to try and be balanced. I hate when games do that instead of making the worse characters better. It's not like it really matters anyway, Peach and Puff become better while the trash characters are still trash.

Agreed.

Although Nobody has a chance to be USA's best puffs in PAL. Imagine Kage vs Mango with PAL's ganon? Imagine any PAL fox vs Hbox.......nah it's a bunch of bull****. If PAL was the standard they can just give away the money to Jiggs players at the door on day 1.

I heard you can't SWD in the PAL version.
And that directly hinders my gameplay.

J/k, I'd be fine using pal.

Amsah already explained this: PAL is more balanced overall. But NTSC is more balanced among the top tiers, and because PAL doesn't help the lower tiers enough to make them truly viable anyway, NTSC is a better tournament standard.

So if America had PAL and Europe had NTSC, would we be unafraid to convert to NTSC where making the best better isn't a bad thing?

Switching to PAL would be a pain. Considering like... everyone BUT europe uses NTSC like... canada the us mexico ... brazil.. dominican republic has a pretty big scene that uses ntsc... isn't japan ntsc too??? it would be so hard to convert basically the entire world but europe lol. NTSC is better anyway 1.0 specifically is the best version of melee IMO.

On the grounds of Zelda and Bowser's need to be viable by the broken enhancements they get in 1.0 I nominate 1.0 as standard for all future events.
