Hey now, that's not nice. All I'm saying is that stock is better for measuring amount of effort a player puts in. It's too easy to manipulate timed matches. In stock matches, if there are different skill levels of players, and one person is many lives ahead, temporary alliances often form among the less skilled, balancing things out. In time matches, you can't keep track of who's doing better, so that doesn't happen. Whether you're playing seriously or not, timed matches don't help anyone. |
Well I don't really find dealing with gang ups and cowards very fun, and having to keep track of the score is another thing I like about timed matches. And it's not about helping anyone, it's about having fun, which Time matches are better for since everyone get's to play the duration of the battle regardless of how good or bad they do. But again, VGC has already decided that Stock battles will be the primary format of it's tournaments, so there's no need to continue on about this! Doing so at this point is just rubbing it into my face!
