Hate Speech: Algol Nudes Surface, Scandal Ensues

Not to sidetrack, but I think it's very difficult to engender that point of view in a community who's designer ardently opposes the very idea of competitive play and designs against it on purpose*. I'd say it'd be almost impossible, sadly. Now that right there is an interesting topic (to me anyways).

*(For clarification, I have nothing against Smash personally, I just question Sakurai's boneheaded spurning of the hardcore/competitive and dedicated community that has sprung up under his game).

I came from the smash community and I agree with you said. It's probably Sakurai's idiotic view on it along with stubbornness as well to top it off.
 
I'm no expert on anything smash, but that attitude may extend from the fact that high-end play, by its very nature, operates at the ragged edge of design intentions. In other words, we're given a game with hard-coded rules and the implicit expectation that we will play said game in a very particular, anticipated manner. In order to develop an edge, then, players must look for as many ways as possible to subvert design intent to their advantage. For most of us here, that emergent complexity is an interesting, beautiful thing, but I can see how a designer might come to view it as a perversion of his original intent.

Oh I'm not taking this bullshit..

Tira whopped ass in SCIII I have no clue what your talking about. SCV's is yet to be seen.

No one plays her cause they don't realize the potential about her. Tira had a small fanbase to begin with.

Smh lets see in about 7 months when people get rooted into the game I want to see you play the best Tira.

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU to that

You just have this habit of getting in way over your head, don't you.

Edit: My post just got liked by the last guy who was "that guy". An interesting microcosm of progress and growth. Also Synraii, don't get all anime-hero "it's all about pride" on me now. Put down some money like a man!
