Smash Journeyman
So this question has been in my head for a while, but I never bothered posting it. It has recently come to my mind again and I finally feel like typing it out. What exactly makes someone "good"? What makes someone a "n00b"? What exactly makes someone a "Pro"?
All these questions came to my mind the other day when I was smashing with some kids I knew. This kid claims he is so amazing when all he did was pick Ike and spammed his smash attacks. Sure he won, but does the fact of winning some matches mean your good? Does having technical skill mean you are good either? I mean I can tell a difference between a new player vs a veteran player.
Back when I played Melee hardcore I mained Captain Falcon and had technical skill with him and could do everything from dash dancing to multi-moonwalking. This still didn't mean I was good since all I did was beat my friends. Well aside the fact from being sponsored by MLG what exactly makes some one good?
I personally believer there are different classifications of skill and those are:
Tournament Players , Competitive players (people that play competitively), and People that play for fun, each having there own ranking system of Pros, Good people, new players, n00bs, and those that just suck.
Forgive me if this seems jumbled as I just sorta went with my thoughts and put them together in this topic, but please tell me what you think of my logic and tell me what you think on what being "good" means.
