i'd rather see wavedashing and l-cancelling and everything in that line of thing removed.
i am able to do all that stuff yeah but to me id rather play a game where everybody is on the same lvl in that sense without worrying about the physics of the game. i mean i know people who havent heard of WD at all. if sakurai aims to please the whole community, wouldnt removing that make it simpler. then you rely on playing skill to win without being at an advantage tbecause you know how to do techniques others may not be able to do or even know about. thats just my opinon.
Huh? What freakin' planet are you from, pal? No offense, but...there's always gonna be some Joe out there who is going to crack games like this wide open (not through l337 hax, people---but through plain old ingenuity and skill). Hell, it's commonplace. Or there is some elements in a game that don't make it even for most people. This "utopian" game you speak of, where everybody is on the same level, is non-existent and will forever be that way. If anybody can find a game that's totally balanced and has the potential to bring things on an equal level automatically, let me know. Please.
I'll be the first guy to play it and find it boring.
Part of the "skill" that you throw out there, boss, lies within the application of the advanced techniques. By neglecting them, it doesn't make you that much more skilled. I mean, yeah, Aniki does not wavedash (as far as I know) and he's an incredible player (he has insane response time)---but does that make him a "balanced equation in the chaos theory of Smash Bros.?" Hell no! I bet if your average Joe Blow went up against Aniki, he'd rip them apart. I mean, he crossed swords with Ken's Marth---evenly, I might add (in some matches).
There is an advantage to knowing about advanced techs, sure---but you act like it's the "invincibility cheat." It's not, because anybody can learn it---it just takes time and patience. It's readily accessible---mediums like the internet (hint, hint: This website) provide tons of information. Even your local pros (or players that play competively)---not everybody's an *******, man. They'll teach you as long as you approach them as human beings.
Anyway. Dylan---do you have any Smash-related videos with you in them? Some time ago, you had mentioned that Sheik's yer main. I'm gettin' back into the tourney scene, and I wanna cross-reference as many people as possible.
Sorry about the tirade, folks. Felt like writing.
