It's not THAT uninviting. I'm new to these boards. I mess around on GD but just like every other board, it's mostly useless. If I went to regional threads, people are always looking for others to Smash, and there's plenty of opportunities to play Melee or Brawl or whatever at tournaments or...

Hahaha, no. For other fighting games, I've met a lot of good people who don't post on threads and may not even be aware of using the internet. They just play well, practice hard, and find local competition. They earned the respect of other good players, came onto the scene, hardly post, but...

Well, if Brawl starts trailing off and people are making money off of it now, that's how it is. They're being experimental like usual. According to jchensor's blog, they omitted 3rd strike one year from Evo because it wasn't popular enough. Now it's the most popular game. Go figure. =) If I...

The number of threads means nothing. Look at some of these threads; taunt tiering, make-your-own brawl character, how many mains do you have? This is all fun stuff to debate but it almost never affects who goes to tournaments or the quality of play. The hosts need to say something like...

All this theory fighting is making me dizzy. I popped in Melee just the other day and wow. What a fun game. I wish I was part of the Melee scene when it was strong. I'm playing against my bro and even though I was never that good and I can't combo or even begin to understand all this...

Why do we need an essay explaining why there "should" be item tournaments? Nothing "should" happen as much as things just need to be done. Anime Expo holds annual FFA Smash tournaments, I think even with items on, I don't remember. Do I care about entering? No. Do I care who wins? No. But...

If we go back to the definition of competitive, then it has nothing to do with the competition. The competition is purely dependent on the reward; money, fame, fun. At this point, Brawl is new. It has more people playing and hence more money in the tournaments, and you can be more famous for...

Regarding "depth": I'm gonna bring up that terrible game I made up with the button again. There's a button, and when it lights up, whoever presses it wins. So I can think of ways to get better at this game. I can improve my joint health, my reaction time, add muscle, maybe bend the rules a...

Okay. Let's say Brawl is slower. Does that make it any worse? Not really. That just means you don't have to think on your feet as fast. Turn based strategy games have a different feeling than real time strategy games. I agree that they've reduced the depth of the game. Does that make it any...

I disagree. If we can't differentiate between who is good and who is better, then who is supposed to win as defined by "competitiveness?" And if we can only "feel" that someone is better than someone else, how are we supposed to quantify what game is more competitive than another? Someone...

One thing that confuses me about this goes back to the definition: "Those who should win will win." Well, who should win? And how many times should they win before it matters? And does it matter how badly you beat them? Is it the guy that spends the most time playing the game? Is it...

i wanna step my game up and play casuals with people and start going to tournaments and stuff. i think online sucks. i don't use aim anymore, so PM me. i live in torrance and i don't care where i have to go. let's do this.
