Why you like TF2 and not Halo for example doesn't have much to do with what I'm saying, being that it's wrong to imply that the aforementioned games you listed don't require lot's of input to be played at a high level, hence there was no need for me to comment on it. Yes that would of been much better, as whether a game is played casual or hardcore is purely up to the player afterall! Like I said, get the Roller which is big pay off for minimal input, and stay out of fire fights. That is a perfectly viable strategy. |
I think my explanations were decent and worth responding to, such as the fact that Turf War requires an awareness of the entire map while a racing game only requires an awareness of your immediate surroundings. I don't see how making more inputs helps you in Mario Kart, unless you're fire hopping or using other exploits (snaking, wave dashing in Melee) to gain an advantage. Those "high-level techniques" never interested me, and from what I hear they aren't very helpful in MK8 anyway.
I don't think having a more methodical and patient play style preference is "casual" as opposed to "hardcore." In Pikmin you can try to get every single item indiscriminately of its value or you can specifically target one or two that will help you get bingo or block your opponent from getting it. But sure, I guess I'm a casual player. I not trying to get into MLG or anything. This even carries to non-action games like Pokemon. I lost interest in competitive Pokemon because double battles are too complex. It's enough trouble to put together a cohesive team that's fun to use for single battles. Doubles have completely different strategies involved, it's a lot to think about so at that point I'd rather just look up recommended team builds online, which to me defeats practically the entire purpose of Pokemon battles.
The roller does seem like a better option for me than the Splattershot in Turf Wars. Chargers don't seem very strong in that mode. I guess I'll just spend most of my time in ranked modes.
