First, I'm not a pro. I just like the game a lot. I never went to any tournament.

Second, you said you could destroy Brawl pros, I was merely asking you to back up your claim.

Third, if you want to play me I'd be happy to.

Lol, I wasn;t being too serious about the "Afraid" part, but I have played pros before and they're not that much better than me since they play the game 24/7, and I barely play at all.  If I sat down and played comeptively, which I will never do becuase of the lack of skill in the game is, I'd easily win tournaments.

Wait...did you just mean to tell me that you used Brawl as an example of why non-traditional fighters are supposedly better than Traditional fighters?.....WOW....brawl cannot even begin to step in the boots of Tekken and Street Fighter. If Street Fighter and Tekken wore boots, Brawl would wear ballet slippers or tap dance shoes.

Good example. Boots are simple, sturdy, and for slow working men. Ballet and Tap require speed and skill.

i enjoy less traditional fighters more, and fast paced fighters (which seems only 2-d fighters)

Traditional. Tekken>>>>Soul Calibur>>>>SF >>>> All

No....thats not what I meant. Tekken requires more skill than SSMB. Thats a childs game, just like Naruto and DBZ. I like playing it at times, but it's no Tekken. To even put it in Tekkens league is an insult. DBZ and Naruto are beat 'em ups, which allow for finishers and evasions based on timed-commands (A very controlled level of gameplay). SSMB is a fun game which can have strategy, but is very simple; just keep raising your opponents hit percentage and they'll fly off in the stratusphere. Tekken has too many levels of players and isn't linear in its point. Tekken is a tournament style fighter, which the best play.....likewise for Street Fighter.

Kinda weird, but I still recall you being the Ike user who talks about mind games.
I say play with truck(peach user) and see how well you measure up.
I can vouch for truck, he's a non competitive SSBB player who merely plays for the fun of it.
And as an Ike mainer a tekken player and a fellow Suiko fan, my vouches should mean a lot. =P
Hell, with how much we have in common I'm qualified to hold your children. ^_^

Well I've never played SSMB and I have no idea what it is or what it plays like, but SSBB is very fast and requires a lot of skill and strategy. The use of the environment and complex physics is something you don't have in technical fighters.

I'm not saying being able to mash buttons and direcitons in rapid succession in order to use your moves isn't something that requires skill. I'm saying it's a silly skill that makes the games that use it silly. A game like Smash requirse skill in timing, strategy, use of the environment, and reaction time. The ability to move your character perfectly and speedily is just as important as the attacks you use. Something not at all true of the slow-moving linear traditional fighters.

To quote myself on the previous page, I want complete control over my character. I want every button (in combination with a direction is fine) to make a specific move, and the depth to come from my adeptness at using those moves quickly and well together. I do not want my moves to be dependent on a silly set of hitting buttons rapidly that have nothing to do with the special attack I'm trying to execute.

Iclim is right I have been playing smash for a year and I am sure that any pro will destroy me.They just have much more experience it will take me years to equal their skill.
