Hate Speech: Degeneracy (Competition)

All's fair in love and war...and fighting games. Seriously, unless it's banned, use whatever works.
 
BTW - How can anyone fault FT10s?1 If you can't last they FT10 that means you wee probably winning on gimmicks/lack of character knowledge, and the opponent adapted and beat you. It means you could NOT adapt to him adapting. FT3 FT5 still have meaning, but in a sense you get off lucky.

Also, by Vints and some people logic here, it does NOT MATTER if I lose 50 Matches, in theory if I win the LAST MATCH, I'm better than you. This is by Vints and co's logic not my own.

Discuss.
 
I see nothing wrong with any of those measurements, FT3, FT5, FT10, etc. Most people use their own judgment in the end, though, despite final outcomes. That's why omega is always regarded as one of the best despite not being top 3 in his past couple trips. That's why Woahhzz isn't regarded the ultimate number one despite winning the most majors. People see a discrepancy in the player skill and character tier, and sometimes other factors too. Things aren't simple. But yeah, it doesn't matter what measure we use...'cause you're likely to make up your own mind, anyway.

To hell with that. RO play has been a facet of the series for 15 years now. It's well past time for people to get over it and learn to actually deal with it. Position awareness and position control are relevant skills to develop and some of the characters are balanced around having stronger knock backs, and a wider variety of abilities to position an opponent more favorably (namely many of the slower characters in comparison to faster characters).

It gets on my nerves when I get called "lucky" or "cheap" because someone was too stupid/unaware to stop pressuring my Sieg to the edge of the stage and gets bounced for it. Especially when they're ahead in health and I HAVE to come back in after them before times up if they don't come out at me. Sometimes in lieu of better opportunity presenting itself I'll taking a beating to the edge like that as a strategy I'll use for a round if I believe I can get away with it and they'll take the bait and get overconfident. That's planning, awareness, risk assessment and forethought at work, not luck.

Usually if you get caught with a RO it's either your own damn fault, or your opponent has actually outplayed you (regardless of health meters) into that position.
