There's offering opinions and then there's perpetuating the rhetoric that guys like Foxy (or whoever) aren't winning because Sonic Fox has found some magic win button. It cheapens the value of their work (even if it only ever amounts to 2nd place), and it reduces Sonic Fox's prominence to some sort of "gimmick" that he just happened to be lucky enough to find first.
This was the gist of it. Malcolm Gladwell is a relatively well known author in the concepts of social psychology. He argues that Bill Gates was born in the right area, to the right family, and was in the right place at the right time to learn how to use and market computers and software to prepare for the digital revolution. It's really an interesting book tbh. It gives you a whole new prospective on what determines success.
I'm sure a lot of people know him, but Sam Harris has this unique belief, which he makes a really compelling argument for, that we don't have free will. We are destined to make the choices that we will make in the future. He has a book on it and some speeches on youtube about it. So in a sense Bill Gates was destined to be crazy rich. Unfortunately Sam Harris has been caught up in a lot of controversy with regard to Islam, you know the whole if you criticize islam you're an islamophobe thing, so that puts a lot of people off when ever he is mentioned, which is a shame because he's so incredibly smart and just extremely interesting to listen to.
That's the best answer you can give when asked that question. It makes all the sense in the world. I don't know why anyone would think that was some sort of attack on someone's skill. Saying "you know why this guy is good? He worked his ass off" is the biggest compliment you could give someone. And I'm sure Michaelangelo practices a lot too, but michaelangelo is saying "I practice a lot, but sonic fox REALLY practices a lot." . As I said in an earlier post, because sonic fox is so good, he has obtained this legendary status of "he just can't be touched", and so people become very ignorant on the topic of "Why is sonic fox so good" because they don't see a lot of competition coming his way and so they come to false conclusions. They think he was just born that way. When in reality the answer is more simple than you want it to be, and the answer is the one Michaelangelo gave.
him just being born that way is a big part of it too
Yeah, I have been wanting to ask one of the top players this question for a long time without offending any of them. When I asked Michaelangelo that question, I wanted him to know up front that I wasn't insulting his or any other high level player's skill whatsoever.
I love lamp.
Not everyone who's athletic and tall is going to make the NBA. There's more to it than just raw physical height/speed.
It's a pretty superior variation. Can do about the same damage but now have armor breaking shots and an anti air that launches for decent damage from the stance. On top of that you can play mind games with your cancels.
Didn't they nerf outlaw variation? Or buffed gunslinger one of those two.
I was thinking that might have been the reason but I wasn't really sure.
