Many years ago, yeah. I got better by getting involved and traveling a lot. Not whinning for nerfs or complaining about characters being too dominant in tournaments on TYM.
so what?
there's 2 separate moments as player:
1 - playing
2 - being involved in the community
you don't know how many hours people puts into playing rather than posting here
for what you could possibly know I am typing this while taking a dump
still your point doesn't stand because all you do is shutting opinions based on the fact that you don't see all tym members on tournament stream
A) You would be right, except most of the character forums are dead and most online people contributions are shit threads and whinning about anything. The new trend is revisionist history by people who didn't even play the games competitively.
sub-forums are dead because no matter the tech there's characters that can shut down completely some others without even trying
also, the game is fairly simple, combo system is simple, inputs are simple too
after more than a year its highly unlikely groundbreaking stuff will be found
unless, you know, a patch drops which is what people is trying to ask
other than that I believe everyone's dream is to be able to pick any character against everyone because patching exists
whining tho is symptomatic of an unhappy playerbase
given the possibility of current year I'd rather not deal with crap that takes few megs of download to be fixed and quality of life improved
B) Good tech is good tech no matter who posts it. People like SimSim are fondly remembered because their stuff was legit, despite living in Norway and not traveling. Same for every tech monster that actually understood the games.
and why can't this apply to tier or matchup discussion?
beside shitposters that exists and not me or you can do something about it
there's walls of text in threads with legit stuff that, according to your opening statement, are worth shit because coming from no names
does shitposting exist on tym?yes
does fantastic contribution from no-names exist on tym?yes
faces and medals, simple as that
C) If you can't travel or play against decent players, then I'm gonna take your opinion with a grain of salt. If people have played you online and you clearly don't know what you're doing, I'm gonna consider you even less. If you duck, I literally stop even seeing what you write as language. There's plenty of legit online people that are busy becoming good instead of being here arguing about top 8s.
told you above, one can play the game 8 hours and spend same amount posting opinions here
or before the next post you want a ft10 to see whose opinion is better?
D) I've been here for many years. I've seen people come and go. There's a right way of becoming a respected community member. Whinning on TYM is not one of them.
again,
split community into separate sets
it's the internet, beside moderation everyone is entitled to an opinion
read the post without looking at the name, you'd be surprised by how many contributions you're missing on
but at last if you want a clear perspective on the situation just look at the numbers
and I'd like to see how the competition will go once and if NRS stops pushing this ridiculous kind of money into online tournaments
