Petition to recognize esports as legitimate sports in the U.S. to solve denial of entry

This is one of those instances where deadpan cannot be effectively delivered.

Definitely meant to post this in the lounge.

Sorry to derail, OP

You see?

This is effective deadpan, precisely because it tackles the subject tangentially, sniping Opie’s invested sincerity, instead.

I won’t even front, if items were on and it can be 4 at a time I would love watching Smash. One v one on stages flatter than your mom’s chest with ZERO items on is boring to watch. I’d rather watch flies fuck.

Isnt that technically sf

:v

SFV has started to bore me to tears and the reasons are similar to why I hate watching Melee competitively. SFV, like competitive Melee, tried to put everyone on an even playing field by removing a lot of what makes the title fun. Ultra for all of its flaws was great to watch because anything could happen and characters had way more tools at their disposal. SFV fixed the major problems with Ultra (FADC, Ultras, vortexes) but in the process didn’t do anything to make it as exciting. I’d honestly rather have 3S or ST back as the main event.

Melee without items and random stages, falls into the same category: boring.

Smash doesn’t have ryu so no

Some may beg to differ

Well played.

16ers putting in work in subtle ways.

Yeah that is how we all play at home. Fuck this one on one bullshit. Four way, fuck 8 man rampage. Let the fuckery begin as everybody eliminates the favorite in a concerted effort. Only for people to backstab.

Oh no a ba-bomb eliminated? Oh shit the stage changed now i die.

That shit would be awesome to watch.

It would effectively make the game watchable and fun for all. Not this “omg got to fight this way and only this way”

That is like when kids said throwing in sf2 was cheap. Gtfo.

We dealt with the bullshit back in the day. We dealt with a-groove bullshit

Play the new smash, all items on, random stage, 4 player madness. Watch the fun people have. It’s weird how smash people regulate the shit out of a party game.

I have a few friends who refuse to play Smash with me unless it’s by tournament rules. Even when we play with 4 players they want the items off.

I just go home. It’s more fun.

Fuck that. Like literally it was made for kids with the intent Of fun and turning your brain off

Mostly because items are bullshit and a lot of people dont like the bullshit they bring. I’ve played with casuals who don’t like items. They can be fun in small doses but god damn sometimes they’re complete bullshit

Gust bellows is the devil

Meh, I’m fine with all items but I will hear cases on Bomb-ombs, Stars, and Mallets.

Everything else is cool. Just set it to low so every 3 seconds a new item doesn’t appear.

We’ve actually tried it. I’m not going to go into much detail but you basically start removing items until it’s down to fire flower and mr. Saturn and then you ask, why bother with these at all. It’s too subjective to determine what items can stay on and what you turn off so we just keep them off

And some characters are straight borked with items

Also, exploding because a bomb appeared in your face while attacking isnt fun

Come on now. It should be pretty simple to see why items are shit for competitive play in Smash.

I don’t see dudes asking for Omega mode in SFIV to be the default mode of play at EVO.

Omega sfiv is hype as fuck

Omega SFIV for evo!

#FuckEverything

I get why, I still hate it. And I’d be down for Omega Mode in Ultra. That mode was REALLY fun.

Cmon brah now u gotta hit the mandatories
