Intelligent Post: Tripping was probably implemented to discourage dash-dancing.

Random Post: Dance puppets dance!
Dash canceling frames were shortened to completely render dash dancing useless for any approach/mindgames.

i never saw any use in dash dancing except it was fun...
Which can be explained by your 08 join date and your location of 'Earth'.

What are you, some witty ignorant twelve year old?

Dash Dancing was used for mind games. A fundamental technique/process/play style/whatever you'd like to define it as which was often the separating factor between good and great players.

Mainly mindgames. It wasn't that good to begin with, but the sudden 'wtf?' factor made it work.

Just having some fun, I love how people still get mad at people for flaming about the join dates. ;D

Way to ignore the actual response, though.

Elitist? Maybe.

Ironic? What?

As for know it all; I try to be as knowledgeable about smash as possible, because I love how intricate Melee is.

Lol what?

You're not making any sense at all. When did I or anyone here state that their opinions were facts?

I thought that by quoting me, you were talking to me. See, mind games work!

im no elitist,ironic prick,alot of people go on join date because it shows how much knowledge they have to this game,thats why when someone come to troll a board,ask stupid questions,dont read,and and are newbie to the game(i highly doubt someone who joined in 03 or so wouldnt know anything about this)

but then,this izreali came,made this thread and discraced every veteran with his join date and lack of knowledge

Join date is in no way a reliable indication of a persons knowledge about anything.

I was just poking fun at it. Nothing serious. ._.

Epic failure right there. cmon dude i understand your trying to be funny but that just says am under 14.

Also this is the worst topic ever! Tripping doesnt add depth it only shortens it. why on earth would i walk? Brawl has barely any combos as is, so walking would make combos impossible.

I love how intricate Alpha 3 might not be. All you need is V-ism.

But yeah, back on topic... the best thing about dash dancing wasn't the mindgames, it wasn't the spacing, it wasn't even the WTF factor to throw people off... it was the smoke.

Yup, I'm a make a CFalcon SSB64 DashDance gif with a little "unregistered hypercam" thingy in the corner because I ain't too advanced with it yet... any particular stage from SSB64 anyone wanna see it on? I promise I won't trip, and you'll get in the afternoon.

Just to clarify what I'm talking bout, I added numberz.



1) You act as though running was the ultimate **** move in Melee. Obviously, it wasn't. It was already balanced out by the fact that you can spotdodge a grab attempt and shield (or spot dodge) a dash attack. Nerfing running with tripping was completely unnecessary.

2) nerfing samus, mario, and ganon has not added depth, but instead removed it. If you take a fighting game with, say, 10 characters, and 9 characters are good, right? Then, you make a subsequent fighting game (new version, sequel, whatever) with the same 10 characters, and you nerf 3 of them, you're left with 6 good characters. There's no way there's more depth in 6 good characters than 9 good characters, it just doesn't add up.

3) really? I mean, seriously, it's only the Internet.
1) i understand maybe brawl didnt need this extra balancing between running and walking, but thats what happened because of the addition of tripping. those are the consequences whether they were needed or not. they are actually a good balance any how because running is still better than walking

2) irrelevant. this example takes what i said out of context. if you had a fighting game with 3 uber chars and 7 **** chars, you nerf the three uber chars and the seven toher chars become viable.

3) in this case, **** you ;)

it just happened you joined with a swarm of new smash players, now you go to an intelligent thread and what was it, nominate the op to the idiot of the year, when you were on the board for a bit more than just one month. now what kind of a behavior is that? ironic, know-it-all prick or what?

your right...i cant stamp you 'idiot of the year' unless i met you outside the web, as far as your actions go on this thread perticular, your an 'idiot'...
i just cant fathom how tripping (a negative effect in the game, mind you) can be useful or "add depth"...
IMO tripping is a nuscence but it happens so scarcly that its hardly relevant or even a thought in my mind, im never thinking,
"Oh am i going to trip?" ect.

Besides, really the only time tripping is a negative factor is when you trip into a charging move or when you face LvL 9 CPUs, because humans cant react that fast to punish (except for M2K or Gimpy)...

I hope that shows you that my join date doesnt negatate my ability to make intelegent posts, just sometimes its more fun to be idiotic... ;)

i've never heard anyone rejoice over the fact that they tripped while in the middle of a heated battle. i've never heard anyone appreciate tripping either lol
can u imagine being in a big tournament and then u get lose because u tripped? that'd be devastating!
