Why was Lightning unplayable? It was the standard here, and we got away with playing the same as regular...

I asked, around and random tourney players just wouldn't give a straight answer. I remember one person gave the reason that the physics were actually different, that's when I stopped asking...
My question was, why don't you play on lightning mode, I mean, MVC2 is played on turbo...
Generic answers like: "this is mlg" or "lightning mode is for noobs" were given to me...
Anyways, would you play fast brawl in tourney's?

You know me? Who are you?
Because it makes everything faster. Startup frames, lag, everything. Suddenly, you have everyone having 1-frame attacks and overpowered smashes that come out in 2-3 frames (Marth's tipper after only 3 frames? Yes, please!).
The window for punishing is much smaller since everything is faster. You can just spam out another attack to make your first one safe. That or spotdodge, I guess. Shielding would also be much harder since everything has less startup now so you'll find yourself shieldcamping a lot anytime the opponent is around. Fast throws and moves will be overpowered since they won't be DI-able on pure reaction anymore.
A lot of things get screwed up by Lightning Mode.

no way. setting a "special brawl" standard like lightning speed or heavy gravity for tournament matches would bring about the demise of the competitive scene, as it would alienate newcomers who want to step up from casual play
doubles tournaments, however are hot like fire

good idea... but , this is not about being fast... theres more mindgames being involved...

Im willing to play online tourney's, but I think I'm the only one.
God I loved Brawl fast mode. At Cal we had a group of about 12 of us that would only play fast-mode only. Very satisfying; you start thinking quicker because you have to react in half the time. Then when you play a slow-brawl round every once in a while you feel like a god just waiting for things to happen. Nostalgic as hell right now.
