Things will probably stay 2 stock no matter what this random online poll suggests.
alright thanks I just wanted to know what i should play when practicing with friends
What others do shouldn't matter so much to you man!
yes I realize I should play as I want, and technically I still qualify as a "filthy casual". I just want to be prepared for tournament when I feel I'm ready to go to one (and I have the money) anyway I'm just a random who dosnt even have a Wii u yet and wants to play the game in the way most do so I can appeal to most of the community. and my rule of thumb with any videogame is that you adjust to the game, it dosnt adjust to you.
I get that. But playing with 2 stock, or 3 stocks is such a small difference on a casual level that you shouldn't care what the pros are doing...
Um... the poll is about Smash FOUR. I don't think people have to have done other Smash games competitively to have a valid opinion on THIS game.
You can have an opinion. But considering you just picked up smash, when it's been around for almost 20 years, your opinion does not hold as much weight / wisdom as someone who played smash 64, melee, and brawl. You lack experience.
um... wat??
I did not "just pick up smash" I've been playing it since I was 7 years old, a year before Brawl came out. I didn't "just pick up smash" I just picked up COMPETITIVE Smash. And I've played every Smash game, plus PM. Don't say I don't have experience with them.
i wasn't doubting your skill i was just confused on why you feel like you needed to announce it.
Listen man you are being a major prick about this I used to watch and study melee and can tell you anything about the competitive scene but i chose pm and 4 to be competitive in does my opinion not matter...
Note I was adding to your reply not insulting you
My appologies for the misunderstanding.
maybe you should have elaborated that but that's just my 2 cents.
I'm gonna have to show this to a friend who says only melee can be played competitively and that sm4sh is trash and is going to die.
????
You never know though, smash 4 could develop a great long lasting community.
yes i realize that i should play how i want becuse im "casual" but the only reason i really care is because i dont want to be. yes i also realize that theres nothing wrong with being a casual, i just like how everyone els is playing. and like in sports, some "casual'' sports players like playing with big league rules because they feel they can get to their level, but if they just play the way they want they will have a large cross over gap trying to adjust to their rules. all i want is to beat ZeRo (lol im a fanboy) in a tournament set, and i cant train for that with the wrong rules.(or i dont want to)
Well you can still train for that outside of competitive rules. Set the timer to infinite and combo a low lvl CPU all day. Set your handicap to 300% and try to win that way (sounds weird, but it teaches you to play differently at higher percentages). You don't have to limit yourself to tourney rules to practice these things, and if anything it's actually better because it allows you to focus on key areas of your gameplay, so once tournament time comes you can actually meld them together and play better.
is there a place to read more about ways to practice like this? like a forum or something?
You mean... like the one you're on right now?
It can be done, but I'd argue it'd be boring. Aside from layout, most custom stages feel too samey to me. In my opinion one of the most important part to a stage is its presentation, which is why Fighting games come with more than one stage despite only ever having one layout. It's why I choose Omega Pilotwings over Final Destination.
i just thought theres be a specific forum on this but whatever
Well you could go to:
oh i watch plenty of high level play
Allow me to elaborate. Watch high level play, but don't just watch it, learn from it. Understand why certain things were done and why certain things happened. Compare your gameplay to their's. What do they do that you do, what do they do that you don't?
yes I'm not stupid, I'm not just watching it to say is did, I make sure to block out distractions and actually watch. can you not assume I'm a complete jackass please?
I never said you were...
well clearly I need to be told how to watch a video
Well advising you would be the more appropriate term. One thing about learning is that unless you tell people, they don't know what you know, so they'll advise you things that you may already know.
or you could assoume I'm not a jackass.
yeah and i get it but he just needs to be shown how people can fell about smash and how it can be played.????
You're going to show him an example of one person on smashboards who played melee casually and got into competitive smash 4 later on?
No offense, but I don't think this is a great argument for your side of things.
Sm4sh isn't trash, your friend is an elitist moron.
However, Melee is still, by far, the superior competitive game.
Smash 4 has a long future as a casual game, compeitive... well, give it a chance. But I don't see it lasting any longer than Brawl did, where as melee and smash 64 will live forever!
