How does the Kommunity feel about coaching?

[Treadmill]

I don't like it personally. It would annoy me as the other player to sit there and wait while my opponent talks to someone and stalls the match. I don't really know if it should be banned, but I like leaving things up to the player to make their own adjustments.

Plus if both players are listening to 1 person coaching, it can create new problems within the meta game since you won't 100% know if the person being coached is going to adjust do the advice they were given.

Also, LBSH it just looks shady or something when it is caught on stream for whatever reason.

I agree. It is really annoying and insulting to me to set there as someone tells my opponent something they may not have noticed themselves. I'm playing you, not him.

I'm going to coach every opponent you ever have from now on.

I remember you screaming tips to Moe while I played him at seasons beatings, while you were commentating. I think that is ridiculous.

Hey random side question here...

Why'd you spell "community" with a K but not "coaching"?

 

[FrothyOmen]

Coaching is great. Perhaps to appease both sides of the argument, a time-limit could be implemented? It'd be quite hard to enforce, but it's wishful thinking.

DAMN! thread fail lol

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

Not gonna lie..... if someone hopped up to tell my opponent something they aren't seeing..... i'm going to simply and not nicely yell "GO BACK TO CANADA!!!" until they leave.

If MK is going to be a team sport can we make subs mid match hockey style?

 

[Flagg]

Streamers should not be shouting at players, in fact SHOUTING at people in the middle of a match is really bad sportsmanship.

However, I think having mini time outs and people getting a 30 second word in the ear is fine.

I love coaching. Reminds me of boxing man, Where you go a few rounds with you're opponent and you have someone in you're corner pointing stuff out, telling you what to change, adjust, work on etc. I think it adds a whole new layer to competitive fighting games. I'm sure there will be people who take it to a level of obnoxiousness and disruption though... And then we'll spend hours arguing about it here.

 

[THTB]

It's fine. We did it all at MLG Columbus and the only thing we were asked to do was not be on the stage.

Boxing and MMA do it...it's not a much different premise, tbh.

 

[ViciousShogun]

People who get anus hurt about it are the ones who don't have coaches.

I like how the MK community try to act like elitists. Its cute.

Sorry. I agree, there should be a line drawn. I don't remember doing it, but if you said I did it then I probably did. Won't happen again from me.

 

[RiBBz22]

What do people think about the new tech I have come up with to combat coaching by yelling DIVE KICK over and over again while the other player is trying to coach someone lol

I approve. Will you be my coach, as I can't yell all that loud.

Nah, man, when I'm wrong I'm wrong. I think coaching should be something like 30-45 seconds of private conversation between matches. MLG rules are 2 minutes away from the tournament area at the discretion of the referee. Basically that means with MLGs 3/5 rule you can't be asking to speak w/ your coach between every match, which actually makes deciding when to take your advice part of your strategy. I think it adds to the professionalism of the game.

That actually sounds like a pretty neat idea to me, set some sort of standard rules for coaching for when or if it's allowed. In the end it's up to the tournament organizers as to rather or not allow it.

 

[Zoidberg747]

I voted for the first one, but im not going to call anyone out on it.

A 30 sec. time limit would be cool.

 

[McNasty]

coaching is fine I mean making adjustments is what its all about in the end anyway. I could see no coaching being a rule in a high money match though.

Wish I had a brother as a top player like the dominicans and terry's haha

 

[Cat]

I think the ban should of been enforced. But I'm just saying that cus I got tired of cdjr running up and coaching Maxter while I was sitting at home watching the stream trying to send Showtime text to give him advice. But he didn't see in time :/. Lol

You have to say it like the Dive Kick announcer.

 

[Dizzy]

Its fine as long as its not banned in the rules. MLG thinks its okay enough to allow it in the rules so why not?

Personally though, I don't want to be coached.

 

[haketh]

Only should be allowed during MMs
