It's a bit disheartening that this is the one piece of dialogue in this whole thread where people show sympathy with the designated n00b.
There's nothing inherently wrong with liking games because they have blood, but there's something not quite right about hating a game because it doesn't.
The same same way that some people don't like video games without killing something? I don't see why it's "not quite right" to dislike something, but I'm assuming you're insinuating that those who dislike the absence of violence have mental problems IRL. Observational studies haven't been able to suggest a concrete link, and most people who only enjoy those types of games don't carry their in-game actions over to real life.

Yes I assumed, because you didn't tell me why you think it's not quite right.

Oh, I'm not insinuating anything of that sort. Liking games with violence and stuff appears to be rather normal. I was thinking in more general terms about hate and reasons for it and the mindset it implies, but that's not something to discuss in a topic like this one.

Basically, hating something for the reason that it fails to possess a quality you like, is stupid.

The link wasn't working for a bit, but now it is. I would like to blame you for taking away my WoW time, because now I'll be browsing Penny Arcade comics for a few hours lol.

On another note, if something doesn't hold a quality that you don't like, then I don't see why you wouldn't like it.

If my memory doesn't fail me, the person in question said "hate with a passion".

Little difference there. *indicates an inch with his fingers*

Trying to recall the exact words...
"I only use B moves because B is for basic and basic is the best!"
or...
"how do you do that thing in the air where you stop and get out of the way of attacks?"

The noobs say the silliest things

I was typing that in a hurry, but fine. Either way, by disliking or hating a video game, it generally implies that you don't enjoy it for whatever reason. Yes, I would hate playing a video game that I don't enjoy. When somebody hates a video game, they usually mean they hate playing it, because playing is the only thing that most people can do to a video game. "Hate" describes a degree of dislike, that's how much more they dislike it: intense dislike. I'm sorry for not clarifying earlier; that person doesn't only dislikes SSBM, but he or she intensely dislikes it.

The fact remains that such an opinion doesn't contradict fact. What's wrong with somebody's "mindset" when they hate games that don't contain blood? They don't enjoy games without blood. It is fact that SSBM doesn't have blood. Some people play video games to simulate what can't be done in real life. I can understand if they favor the gory action of being able to shoot the living hell out of everything that they can't do in real life.

It's a natural thing to love or hate something. How do you stop yourself from hating something that you honestly hate? Lie to yourself? There are some things that one can grow to tolerate, but there are just some things that a person cannot.

It's also not a dumb statement either because it's true. Is it a dumb statement because...the person stated an honest opinion based on a fact?

A "wrong" opinion would be stating that he or she hates SSBM because he or she can't shoot others. By "wrong" I meant an opinion that contradicts fact.

It is on topic thank you very much. "What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard someone say about Smash?" There's nothing about, "let's not discuss why." Forum threads are open to discussion unless said otherwise.

You fail at trolling.

nice try, but plz, STOP
Thanks for proving my point on what the topic is about. Like I said, I was discussing one of those "noob" quotes, not the differences between Marth and Roy or something else totally unrelated.

Why don't you stfu and crawl back into your little hole?

why do u have to insult me? prolly cuz u know that u're wrong?
u should post noob quotes, that all
over and out
What was I wrong about? What was I wrong about, an opinion that was based on fact? Was I wrong about this thread being about its title?

I'm not insulting you, I just don't like how you're telling me to stop posting when I'm perfectly within my privileges to post. When somebody steps in who actually has authority and tells me to stop, then I will gladly stop. Who the hell are you to tell me to stop, some tourney organizer?

I don't like trolls, since I run into them constantly every day. I guess I should stop feeding you then; good day.

So i was watching x-play today...

"Super smash bros brawl won't have that much depth or strategy. It will just be a party game like its predecessor."

Or at least it was something like that...

Haha, that's probably how every non-Smash fan will see it as. It took Melee a while to be recognized by other fighting game communities. It does make for a good party game though, much better than the however many iteractions of Mario Party do.

lol yeah thats true. It's way better than all the mario parties.
I laughed when Adam Sessler said that he didnt understand that brawl's hype was actually comparable to halo 3's. Of course Morgan then "reminded" everyone of melee's "lack of depth", and that brawl wont have much more XD

As for the topic, all my friends say Roy's cheap lolz

Impact, by your logic, he would also have to tell us in the first post not to post images or links to scat porn websites. You lost, now be mature about it.

And to contribute to this thread

(Did you Nana just meteor smash then edge guard me!?) Not very noob, but funny.

You people are acting ridiculous. I know that this thread is just supposed to be fun and all, but seriously, there's nothing wrong about taking some time discussing WHY something was "dumb"...
Be glad that I'm not starting a discussion here about how a lot of people posting in this thread seem to be haughty elitists of some sort. :p

Anyway, I carried the discussion over into a PM. Not sure whether Impact noticed.

I was getting mad at my friend in a 4 player melee cause he was spammin missiles, and running away from the fight. I called him a wimp or something like that, and this noob behind me says "its an effective strategy" Strategy my ***. this same kid thinks falcos dtilt is his best move.
This is ironic.

One of my friends thinks that Falco goes just as far as Fox with Dash and Firefox moves, and always complains when his Falco never goes far enough haha.

Now you're just being a moron. Threads are meant to discuss. It's against the rules to link to scat porn web sites, and posting images would have nothing to do with the topic because they would have nothing to do with said topic. I was discussing something that was completely relevant to the thread's subject.

Yes I am being mature about discussing something that somebody posted, until ******* like you post completely irrelevant crap that has nothing to do with the topic.

I should've agreed with Fawriel earlier and not take this discussion so far or so strongly, because now I'm attracting trolls like you. No I'm not implying that's Fawriel's reason, I'm saying that's mine.

If you didn't already saw, I said I'd stop feeding the other troll and took my posts away from that direction. Here comes another one to pull me back in. Trolls are delicious bait for me sadly.

This was my point for a while. For some reason, stupid people can't seem to follow if the situation isn't black and white.

Anyway, I carried the discussion over into a PM. Not sure whether Impact noticed.
Since you seem to be the only one able to point out my flaws logically, I'll go check the PM that I didn't notice was there earlier. A better place for it, since we can't seem to discuss something without unproductive posts flying in.

not every thread is meant to be discussed, for example this one, here u should just post quotes

how boring would this thread be if everyone would comment and discuss every quote?

Please read my posts before you reply to me. You wouldn't even be getting a response from me if you didn't direct a post at me. Trolls like you however, seem to pop up everywhere and come up with new crap even if you don't respond to them. Yeah I told you I'd stop feeding you, but like I already said, trolls seem to bait me really well.

You do realize that I already took my original discussion out of this thread. I had already stopped a while back on my own accord, then I got pulled back in twice. I really don't care if I stop posting in this thread or not, but if you really did, then you wouldn't try to fork a response from me again after I said I was going to move it over to a PM.

Oh, and if this thread's not meant for discussion, then why hasn't it been closed before the first few pages? Why didn't you troll the others before me who discussed their quotes and others'?

Not everybody's like you. Most people find discussion interesting. If my previous discussion I had with Fawriel bored you, then you should've ignored it.

I don't see you posting quotes. Don't go point to one that you posted fifty pages ago either, because I am counting five of your posts that don't even follow your own personal guidelines for this thread.

heh, scrubs make the funniest comments. this one guy came in claiming to be a master of Link...
"yeah, i could whoop our ***. i'll just bomb you and hit you from a distance and kill you with spin attack. you won't touch me"
a minute in, he's down 2 stocks, i have 4 stocks negligible damage(mostly self-inflicted due to pichuness), he PAUSES and asks, "you're so cheap! how am i supposed to recover if you just keep throwing me off?"
...
yeah, and he kept pausing randomly and asking basic stuff like how to throw, smash, etc... we gave him the insructions which he refused to read... silly noobs

Three things:

*Shine Spiked Kirby while Kirby was in Up - B.* "What? You can shine spike that?"

"The Reflector is a bad move, it only reflects guns."

Same person who said above comment, after I Perfect 4 stock him with Falco: You never gave me a chance! Your not my friend anymore! *Runs off crying*

He never was my friend :)
