Idiots ruining my favorite video game

Not even, I’m just pissed that the majority of the german community is in favor of it. That we have that many morons. And yeah, Zeriel got it right for the most part.

Why do you keep saying “kill”? Is it not a bit stupid to pretend you are “killing” a bunch of pixels that will then come back to life in round two?

The health bar I can understand, but pretending you are killing anything is a little silly, you just slapped them about a bit.

I wasn’t aware. Thank you.

Why do you assume people who think Metaknight is overpowered and deserves a ban are morons? You sound really immature. They aren’t neccessarily “morons” or “scrubs”, they just disagree with you about what makes Brawl the best game.

Look, I told you I don’t do anal.

Well, far be it from me to deny a community its specialized nomenclature. But the description “fighting game” is so apparently general — and so unrelated to the specific properties that, in your view, qualify something thereof — that taking umbrage when someone does not share your definition is perhaps misguided.

FWIW, at one point I did play such games rather often, although not since the earlier Street Fighter II days. “Fighting game” means to me much what it means to you (although frankly the exact requirements of a life bar and the loser’s death still seem ad hoc). Nevertheless it’s very difficult for me not to conclude that you’re taking this issue a bit seriously.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is way more fun when you add your own custom characters and stages in anyway. Are there any tournaments where custom characters ever get played? That would be FUN.

And like I said before, I’ll say it again. SMASH BROTHERS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED AS A COMPETETIVE FIGHTER. It is a party brawler, like power stone was. If you choose to take it seriously, be prepared for tons of silly rules and regulations that have to be put in place to make it more “fair.” People are going to disagree with what “fair” is, and you’ll have to live with it.

My aren’t we a judgmental little shit.

We banned Bo Jackson from the video game Tecmo Super Bowl. It made gaming much less frustrating for everyone who didn’t have Jackson on their team.

Lighten up, Francis. You need to develop a sense of humor, or you’ll never get a date.

I hope I never get this old.

Utter bollocks.

For a start, ‘Way of the Exploding Fist’ (1985), which borrows heavily from ‘Karate Champ’ (1984), disagrees with you.

This is basically a variant of “no true Scotsman”. It is clearly a fighting game, so you’ve gone with “well it isn’t a true fighting games” because it doesn’t fulfill a set a criteria that the genus “fighting game” doesn’t depend on.

I think you’re being a judgmental little shit here, too, if it helps.

Are you sure about that? You’ve been such an ass in this thread …

It does help. At the very least you and ExVoxMachina can date each other.

Why is this thread in the Pit and not the Game Room, anyway?

This reminds me of something I read on some other board…
