Indeed. No, this is not— no. Well yeah, some people act like this (annoyingly stringent rules on friendlies), but no to this in general.

lol, tripping doesn't even make sense by non-competitive play standards. Party games don't have to be moronic (Mario Party 8 is a disaster!). Tripping is the freak accident of gaming in general, not just competitive games. Anyways: standing by the developers intent not mattering. Melee was...

Well, there is indeed more to it than than being jealous for sure, but I think that most of the reasons for hating Smash are shallow (including the reasons that you listed KumoOso). I mean, whatever the developers intent was for this game, was not how it turned out, and shouldn't even be...

Yeah, Olimar is the size of a nickle.

You gotta live with it like you gotta live with tripping. It's the new standard.

When Smash came out and I realized I was having as much (if not more fun) with a 2D game as I did with 3D games, and that the multiplayer action never became stale, I knew I was playing a winner.

Hexagon reflecty thingy.

Mmm, there are only 3 of the 10 parts of the tutorial and it's possible that terminology will still be covered in a separate section. Again, the terminology is a lot clearer at this point, which makes me happy. It's a training guide on how to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl and how to use attacks...

Wow you guys. There's many of you who follow his "play to win" attitude like religiously, but there has been this weird assumption that he's never played or had any interest in Smash. It's kind of the backbone of any argument for when someone brings up Sirlin's thoughts on fighting games, then...

Pretty informative "basics" so far, since it's only at part 3, I can imagine there's going to be a lot more to this guide, but he seems to be laying everything out pretty good.

Yes it does, if more people are "angry at Meta-Knight" then there are people who are "angry at people who are angry at Meta-Knight", the game will shift accordingly. I think the ban of a character or game play element(items) is enough to show what anger and frustration causes. Edit: I think...

If you're slouching back and playing half asleep, you're probably not going to do very well. Inversely, if you play frustrated and enraged, punching the couch when you get gimped, you're not going to do very well either. Sit up, pay attention, and feel like you wanna win, and I'm sure you'll do...

It'll be a shame if we lose Meta-Knight as I am pro-keep Meta-Knight. However, if it's really making the experience of Brawl less enjoyable for the majority of players, then that settles it. There will be a lot of disappointed Meta-Knight players though, and disappointed people who worked their...

You're banned for riding Boshi.

I can't think of anybody more underrated then the well rounded Yoshi.
