Smash Lord
OMFG GO**** anywaysI actually counted down the days until you decided to think you have some kind of validity in your thoughts, so here we go.
I literally picked up Sheik days, literally days before I decided to use her at the biweekly, and was able to do a considerable amount of damage to a handful of players there, took out Tag..took Alukard down to 1 stock twice and such. You have to understand the timescale and learning curve of any character in any fighter...obviously in this case i'll use smash. Sheik OBVIOUSLY has her own level of mastery, her peak point, but the curve doesn't start too low, the character's abilities starts you off at a certain point where me picking up sheik for maybe 4 days allows me to deal the damage I was able to, while any one of you using GaW/Samus/other lesser characters would simply get utterly ***** in only 4 days of training. So therefore, granted it would still take me about a few months to master such an ''easy'' character like sheik, but it would take most of you chumps YEARS to master the guys we use. THAT is the stretch, it's all in comparison.
You seem to not understand the qualm that players such as I, have... It does not matter if SHEIK is still good, or if LINK is now really good...as long as (mostly) EVERYONE is also good! And don't you dare say that it's impossible to make a game that's balanced because there's a game like Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, in that game literally 95% of characters win in TOP level play. It is not impossible to say that it's a good chance Brawl's characters will all have thier own tools of destruction.
My theory which is based on a simple system of extrapolation, rather the reverse method of it. (let's just use you and me for this example, both at maxed out training so I don't lose you here) If your character is at ..let's say 90% overall ability ...and my character is only at about 50%...and i'm STILL handing your butt to you...oh to make you feel better let's say you're barely beating me, what plausible evidence could you seriously provide to prove that you would still be beating me if both our characters are now at 90%? your likely answer would be ''oh i'd just improve and adapt! simple..'' well if it was that simple then you would have been done that already right now and would be consistently 2 or 3 stocking me as we speak...but no, nothings happening ...you're improving but i'm still creamin' you (when i'm in training) My character has a shield that has a 50% chance of not blocking anything...I am FORCED to use my attacks to protect myself...I can no longer rely on something 95% of the rest of the characters have as a standard means of defense. Even such a SIMPLE improvement of making my shield block 100% of the time instead of only 50%.... now 50% of the time when an offensive strat is launched at me, i'll still be alive instead of on my next stock. It's applying simple probability.
Once again i'll use Tekken.. First version of Tekken (5.0) Nina was top, literally....she was above top tier, she was god tier....she was nerfed in Dark Resurrection....now Nina does NOT win tourneys anymore...PERIOD. Not even the smartest of smartest Tekken gods can win with Nina anymore. Smash would not be immune to it. You now say ''well the next top tier will just be winning''...too bad for that since any character can win now...you'll see Lei Wulong and Kuma (the fcking bear character) in finals of a major....
It's not finding something to ***** about...it's understanding how actually frail the pride of a top tier ***** is, because in the select universe of top/high tier vs top/high tier, then alot of you are very amazing....but in terms of the game itself....you guys have very little raw talent. That's just something that you guys will rather not accept or admit to. It's a fact...when a human being hears the truth that is negative to them, they respond in a negative fashion in turn, regardless of the fact that it is true.
Granted, it comes out very vile and lacking suave because of the sarcastic tone i always apply to it, but it's simple...there are just certain people with more actual talent in this game that are magnetized to use characters that might be not as good, so once the characters are balanced..the true evidentuality of what matches should be.
It's nothing personal to you...it's just what it is.
