Not really though...we may all have a lot to learn but that doesn't mean PL doesn't have more to bring to the table than most. (Especially having tested the game) I'm actually considering drafting up a quick e-mail for him to touch up my game some.
You don't have to start winning tournaments to have a basic understanding of this game at a high level. Some people have that "it" factor that others don't. Adapt on the spot, can see weaknesses in your game, can generally understand a game much faster than others. JOP is a old school TTT player (most old school gamers will know him) and is one of the best in the country at adapting on the spot and seeing how games work. I disagree somebody needs to show tournament credentials to properly help the community
Three times. Don't forget, he won DOA4 in 2006.
I'm assuming in order to make this statement, you have never bought a strategy guide in your life right? Cause this is no different
You paid $25 for information you could have found elsewhere. Each match is not $15 so I don't understand the "everytime I open it to read it" reference. It's an hour and it's for people who need help w/the game. Strategy guide, especially w/the mass information of the internet, is no different. I suppose you laugh at people who get personal trainers as well?
Yeah but noone's gonna pay me no $15 for lessons. It's just like in the real world: if you want that job, you need the resume and the certifications to back it up.
Its deffenatly a hell of a lot cheaper then lessons from top poker players who charge 1500$/hour
I understand that people in the FGC want the competitive/tournament scene to be big and profitable.. The truth is its not that big of a scene.. PL only got over 1k viewers on twitch recently and thats only because injustice just came out.. I for one have not bought a strategy guide since before the current gen of consoles. back when they were like $15 and it wasnt for a fighting game.. The last time I did that it was Tekken 2..
I have issue with that first statement
It was probably just Black Adam beating Ares though i guess...
Again people trying to compare something where pros in poker make millions while pros in fighting games make nothing close to that...Its deffenatly a hell of a lot cheaper then lessons from top poker players who charge 1500$/hour
I happen to agree of course health is more important, but to some people who enter tournaments all the time or are super competitive in general, $15 is not a bad deal to (potentially) get really good at a game very fast. Again, I personally would not do it but I clearly see the reasons why people would. Whats not important to you might be important to others
I wasn't really comparing but whats your point?
When did I say I was the one to decide anything? I am just laughing at the people trying to justify paying for video game lessons with things that are either more important in life or more profitable in life..
