Here's how we settle this, I'M the only person that matters in the entire scene, so this is pointless anyway.

J/k


But seriously, when I read this, I immediately saw "parody", I dunno how anyone could take it seriously.

It could set off a nationalistic flamewar, but so could any legitimate comparison of our metagames.

Teneban, stop trolling people who read articles and intelligently respond to them :)
This was written solely for entertainment purposes, if any intelligent discussion is to sprout from it then it's certainly a bonus.
It looks like I misjudged your goals indeed.
I'm more used to the 'USA = United Suckers of America' kind of trolls these days, I admit I didn't expect you to hide intelligent stuff behind your intelligent stuff because that's soooo... Yeah, three centuries late.

Scrubs take it seriously, and this is meant to be a friendly message board.

I completely understand that there are 10-15 ******** americans that went and tried to troll the EU boards, but that doesn't mean it's necessary to stoop to their (********) level.



Whatever, everyone posting in here is bad. I guess I'll just leave it at that.

No offense, but most of the stuff Mr. R does really shouldn't work, and only does because his opponents always do the obvious air dodge... that stuff stopped working for me like a year ago lol

Well... Are you suggesting Leon, Kaos, Glutonny and Istudying are predictable and bad at Brawl?

And what do you mean by "stopped working for me like a year ago"? You've been doing platform cancels a year ago?

No, but the OBVIOUS air dodges kaos does (havent watched leon / gluttony) are always taken advantage of.

The metaknights here don't air dodge, they just gliude or nado away, nulling all follow ups / juggles.

Mr. r's stuff is really bad... his spacing isn't that good, and he always full hops when there are alot better options... I'm sure I'd WRECK any and all euro players

This thread is just reflecting everything that makes me want to punt a kitten over a fence, just to release the fiery volcano that is my raeg.

Obvious troll is obvious. I sincerely hope so anyway, seeing as if you were serious then I can only assume you suffered from lack of oxygen to the brain at birth :laugh:.

I'm Minty, one of the better marth's in America
I'm sorry, but this is false.

I'd love to see you go to Europe and lose to all of their top players.

Being ignorant achieves nothing. How about you stop being stupid and realize that, first of all, you're not one of the best Marths in America, and second, that Europe is actually pretty good. Different=/=bad, I don't know who put that into your head.

I'm def top 5 marths lol...

Only people I know for sure that are def better than me: Neo and Mikehaze.

Here's a way to compare me vs Mr.R. My last tourney, I did good vs Ally and got him to last hit in two games... (im not trying to brag, don't think this as me being a ****)
Now, next month, when Ally comes to Europe, unless anybody accomplishes that, me > him

my logic is ****ing amazing, guess all there is to do is wait and see

Minty's correct about his personal skill level, he is quite good.


That said... he's wrong about Europe, the reason the stuff works is because their metagame developed in a different direction, however they compensate with being advanced in other things.


This is natural, metagame's aren't uniform. However, the fact that the metagame is developed in a different direction means that it's also far more difficult to compare skill between the metagames.


That said, I'd put Europe's top under America's top, larger playerbase does that, but nowhere near as far as the trolls would have you believe.


If people want I'd be willing to do an in-depth analysis at some point explaining precisely what and why.

The fact that any kind of actual logical debate is being attempted here is just ****ing beyond me.

God I hope you're laughing Teran, I look like my avatar right now.

Is this topic about the Brawl scene only? IDK much about that, but America wrecks Europe in just about everything else. It was a good effort though, writing that lengthy diatribe and inviting your European friends to come agree with you on the first page.
