[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament Discussion

People who list off a bunch of characters or stages are just picky and want to play the game to their advantage.

"This one plays to people who smash up, this one plays to those who smash sideways. This one's terrain changes, that one's size is too big."

You can't say that certain maps are unfair because they cater to one chracter or another. This is why you just play them all. Pick random. If you want to be pathetic about it afterwards, tell everyone the reason that you lost the tournament is because it only gave "heavy character" stages and you were light.

The only rule adjustment that I'm okay with is "no items."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gotta love people who insist on playing with tourney rules in non-tournament environments. Again, I find it interesting that most people who hate the tournament scene aren't participants in the first place and really only came to feel that way when either one magical player in their life tried to thrust them into that playstyle like an asshole... or they were just getting sensationalized along with everyone else who just reads about it.

So basically you agree with what I said while also insulting me, implying that I don't play the game (I will assume this based on the fact that I have not added you guys to my friend list). The more restrictive rules, the less fair it is.

How ya doing, buddy?

I fail to see how picking out which maps you don't like based on a bias towards one character (or type) is fair. I bet I could find on EVERY map an advantage that certain characters have. The only rule that works in terms of being "fair" is no items.

Rotorblade, since you think you're so much god damn better than everyone else, tell us all how the "pros" do it and the "right way to do it." Seriously dude, its a discussion thread, so stop trying to assume you're some high and mighty tourney faggot who knows all about the games and "competitive play."

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
