WHOA. IT'S ZEKCINA. View attachment 68160

I think Reshicina would be more fitting.

Since some people see Reshiram as a girl, after all, and we know what Lucina's game plan was.

So, let's say you're in a competitive match, and you lose the first stock, would you think it was cheap and rude if you're opponent were to not approach to play it safe? Like, they're not running from side to side avoiding you completely, They're literally just on the other side of the stage and staying there waiting for you.

I've recently tried to get into smash competitively and this is something recently happened. Only I was the one who took the first stock. I was C.Falcon and he was Sheik, I took the first stock and he jumped the other side of the stage and just kept throwing needles and when he DID approach I just walled him out with N-airs and didn't chase him with follow ups. After about a minute he started complaining how I wasn't coming after him :L We wanted it to be a competitive match, so I felt I didn't NEED to approach him since I had the stock lead. SO what would you have done? Would you not approach at all either? Do you think it's cheap or rude to do that?

When it comes to competitive play, all niceties are thrown out the window. You play to win, and that's that, damn the consequences and damn the feelings of others.


That sounded particularly blood knightish, lol

No, it's a perfectly legitimate strategy. It's a **** move, sure, but if it helps you win, it's fair go.

This is, incidentally, why stages with the potential for circle-camp abuse (Pilotwings, Windy Hill, etc) are tourney-banned.

EDIT: I'm reminded of the tutorial tip for Peacock in Skullgirls wherein it encourages you to time-out your opponent with her projectile wall. "Your opponent may not care for this tactic," it tells you with coy mirth, "But it's a perfectly legitimate strategy."

Well obviously this type of strategy can be not fun for either party involved but a win's a win as long as it follows the rules. When money's on the line then it is reasonable to use a strategy that has a higher chance of success.

No Not at all actually. In a serious tournament settings you do what it takes to win within the confides of the game. I tell local players to play like scumbags all the time and they are not afraid to do so. If you or your opponent has a stock lead why would you give it up and BTW Sonic play is sometimes notorious for this. Also have a local Little Mac player who gonna be getting on our PR soon but he's very emotional at times and every time I play him I play super scumbag and platform camp cause it's Little Mac, you choose that life when you play Mac.

EDIT: Also people have been started to do double blind pick against me recently cause I play soo many characters at a ok to decent LVL not Rosalina cause I counterpick people alot and I'm not ashamed of it.

Thank you for the replies! I can see that this is semi frowned upon, or at least less so frowned upon than completely avoiding. I remember at EVO a sonic completely avoiding someone because he took the stock.I Believe it was against Ally's Mario? Not sure, not really that relevant either I guess. But as I said, I'm very new to the competitive scene, I've only recently decided to enter it about a week and a half ago (I was actually going to try to enter smashcon since I'm only a three hour drive away from it, but didn't have the money for the entry fee :$) Again though, than you, and I'll keep these things in mind for the times I do get the stock lead.

In addition to what everyone said, which I agree with, your opponent was playing Sheik. He forfeited the right to complain at the CSS, haha.

If you're ahead there's no reason for you to approach so there's nothing wrong with what you did.

A while back I did the same thing to a Ness, I was playing as Ryu and I took the first stock so when he came back I just stayed to one side of the stage, instead of approaching he ran to the other side and tried to camp with PK Thunder and eventually SD forfeited after I refused to approach since his camping was failing.

If you're a stock down it falls on you to do the work to even the stocks and come back. You can't just expect an opponent in the lead to approach and risk losing their lead just because that's what you want them to do, and you especially can't consider your opponent unfair for not approaching. Anyone who does that quite frankly doesn't understand the concept of playing safe.

I would not have approached in this situation (if I would be thinking enough to understand not to do that at this point, usually I go in anyway if I have the stock lead because I like hitting things and trust my aggressive play).

And no I don't think it's cheap or rude, I think it's smart.

I mean, I already have the GameCube version, but that's the PS3 version, and i'd buy that just use mystic artes (i'm strangely addicted to mystic artes. I just love the idea of them, plus they're always so visually appealing and the cutouts are really well done)

And it's based on the Japanese only PS2 version with more sidequests and bosses. Too bad my PS3 broke before I had a chance to play the HD remaster of my favorite game.

If enough people Pre-Order Zestiria they'll give Symphonia for free. That's a pretty damn good deal. Go ham, JRPG fans.

OH, are there? All I knew about the japanese version is that Abyission is a lot harder, and that his color scheme is changed too. I don't know much else about it. That, and I think there's another a 3rd segment added to the final boss.

Available to everyone who pre-order Zestiria for free, or it'll just be on steam to the public for free?

AYYYYY, not bad. I was going to wait for a steam sale to buy it, but seeing as there's a chance to get ANOTHER Tales Of game I wouldn't be able to play since I don' t have a PS3 looks like I'ma be pre-ordering after all.

Yeah, there are few other tweaks as well. Different artes, bosses have more mystic artes, more costumes, unison gauge requires only 150 hits instead of 200, etc. And they're all in Chronicles. I don't think there's a 3rd segment added to the final boss BUT

Spoiler

the last boss in the book dungeon sidequest is replaced with a fight against past Yuan, Kratos, and Mithos at the same time

Afraid I won't be helping with the sick Zestiria steam pre-order bonus since I'm getting the ps4 version. That version better at least have a better frame rate than the ps3 version, which I hear is pretty bad.

YO OKAY, can we talk about that LAME ASS FINAL BOSS IN THAT BOOK THOUGH?? Like okay, for me personally it was a huge let down. I had a lot of trouble going through the last five floors of the dungeon. I always would get to a floor where I was forced to use a random character alone. forget to put on some accessory and die from that stupid petrifaction, or I would gt stuck with Raine or Genius and just die normally because lol Raine and Genius. SO, when I finally got to that final floor i was SO hyped because I thought this was going to be SO HARD. And then he turns out to be easier than the boss on floor 10. Like okay, he auto cast gravity well and ground dasher sometimes BIG WOOP. IT WAS SO EASY I HATED IT. LIKE, AT LEAST THE BOSS ON FLOOR 10 YOU COULDN'T ALWAYS HIT HIM BECAUSE OF HOW HE WAS DESIGNED. This though. Yuan, Kratos and Mithos. God, that sounds like a cluster **** of things and I LOVE IT. I always just looked up and and saw you can only bring three party members with you. NOW THAT, sounds hard. That's how you do an extra, optional boss fight

LOL, everyone has some sort of compliant on Zestiria. Although I haven't heard of any frame rate problems on the PS3. Maybe I haven't looked into it enough.

Meeting you're favorite VAs must be very cool. My brother got to go to a Q&A for his favorite VA, Vic Mignongna (is that spelt right?) at Denver Comic Con a couple months ago and he enjoyed that. I take a look at all of this and I WOULD say I'd be jealous, but then I remembered that my family has ties to famous people. My grandfather is friends with Mr. Harrison Ford so I had the honor of meeting him...
