Could someone please tell me the real definition from spamming???

After getting into a very heated debate w/ my cousin about spamming and which ssb game is better, I'm just ****ing done. I told him to go on youtube and to see if he could find a video of spamming in melee. Here is what he sent me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-t2dK6-dUI
he told me to watch the Falcon right before 0:44. His exact quote: "Look at the falcon, just spam spam. he spams and melee is trash. All it is is a spam game where you just knock them off and spam so they can't get back on. Brawl is 70x better."

I'm just really ****ing pissed right now. He has no idea what he's talking about. There is not one bit of spam in that ****ing video, and he's trying to convince me that melee is just a 'spam game.' What the **** are you talking about?

I'm just ****ing done. I told him that the only reason he doesn't like it is because he sucks, and to put it in his own words, he doesn't like melee also because 'I don't like the melee controls. I don't like gamecube controllers.' So he's saying that, since 'melee is a spam game' and he doesn't like the controls, that brawl is better than melee? **** no.

So to put it short, he ****ing raged on me because he knows he is wrong. So what is the real definition of spamming? I took it as the same move over and over again, at least 3, 4 times in a row, maybe 5 and above.


His exact words to me in a message.

the first god **** 44 sec just shows what you do SPAM THE SAME MOVE MORE THEN 2 TIMES THEN YOU GET OVER THEN DOWN THEN JUST ****ING CAMP ****ING EDGE WATCH THE WHOLE THINGS ITS ALL THE SAME END OF YOUR *****EN LOOKED AT FIRST SSBM VIDEO JUST TYPED IN SSBM MONTAGE FIRST ONE

You should say "****" more, it makes your points more convincing.

Stop raging and pick out the piece of **** that is your friend's argument with logic and facts. You should be able to win easily.

show him blawr videos then melee videos however some people have to spam moves like fox nair and etc. really brawl isn't any better really if it's all about spamming how isn't he able to place in huge tournments? also it's about adapting and mindgames. in truth melee has way more options than brawl so I can't see how you could spam more in melee without trying to lose in bralw and trying to be gay in melee.

he is using ****** logic so use ****** logic back at him. like say bralw is spamier cause everyone plays as metaknight.

Yeah, some people prefer brawl to melee, that's just the way it is. Maybe he doesn't like to wavedash/l-cancel. Maybe he doesn't like mistakes to be as punishable as they are in melee. Maybe he likes tripping, edge sweet spotting, and meta knight. That came out more sarcastic than it was meant to, really, there's no objective way of saying which game is "better", it's preference.

But yeah, just tell him, spamming is using attacks over and over again, knowing that most of them will miss. What's in the video is comboing, where all of the attacks actually, hit, and were meant to hit (or mindgame/shield pressure).

Also tell him that yes it is more difficult to recover in melee than in brawl, but if you do it properly you can generally get back fine.

I'll take a potato chip....and eat it!!!
Um...show him a video of a Meta that isn't M2K. Then show him a video of D3. Spamming exists in every fighting game. AKA Zoning in some cases.

Draw the argument away from Brawl vs. Melee for a minute. Then explain to him why his argument about Spamming is invalid. Apparently what's aggravating you, is the insult to your intelligence. He's trying to make a one-sided argument that is full of holes and refuses to take his rose-colored glasses off.

You want Spamming? Go play a Frame-data freak online in Soul Calibur 4. THEN come back and talk. (Would be my reaction, lol.) Or play a scrubby (90% of) Ryu online. THAT'S spamming. Or...play some netplay on Brawl....I've never seen so much needless spamming in my life. *shrugs*

The argument itself is invalid....especially if a person is going to get hit by it repeatedly, lol. It's the other person's fault, xD.

lmfao..


also.. see.. when i used to play brawl.. we would find everything to be "spammy" or "spamming" but now playing melee... when i think about it, i dont find anything as spam..

i could just say that i think spam is a falco sitting on one side of the stage shlazuring or a peach spamming dsmash.. but honestly.. its up to you to get around those things. and a lot of those "spammy" moves are not THAT hard to beat. and as soon as YOU figure out how to beat it, the person that is "spamming" should take notice on that and stop "spamming". so no more "spam"

this whole thing is a scrub topic

there's no definition of "spamming" that you and your cousin can come to agree on, because there's no real definition of "spamming" among the competitive community. what you should do if you REALLY wanna show him spam is pick falco and short hop laser him until he throws his controller.

also it sounds like your cousin is about 12 or something
give him a break
why are you getting mad over this in the first place

DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS!
melee=brawl

seandonconflan you need to calm down about "video proof" that brawl sucks
