-_- I'm probably walking into a troll here but seriously? No, there's not genes for that, but there ARE for faster reactions, better abillity to repeat certain actions, and various other things that could make someone more inclined to smash.no, people dont have smash genes in their dna LOL.
That's not what talent means at all. Talent is your ability to pick up a certain skill/art faster than others.Define natural
i dont see how any video game related skill could be "natural" considering all skill in video games is developed from gaining experience and knowing the best solution to every situation. Thats not natural skill, thats just skill.
natural skill would be if a player who never played before watched a match of m2k vs mango, then picked up the controller, and beat both of them.
wont happen, "natural" skill doesnt exist in melee cuz there arent any physical or genetic advantages.
however, you could be physically strong or fast by nature
talent is just a combination of experience and practice. anyone could have talent
Not quite. Talent isn't your experience and/or practice, it's how much those two things affect your actual skill.talent is just a combination of experience and practice. anyone could have talent
even if im wrogn about what talent is specifically, i still believe it exists and pretty much everyone has it, maybe to different degrees, but the question was whether it exists and i agreed that it did.That's not what talent means at all. Talent is your ability to pick up a certain skill/art faster than others.
Video game related skills in my opinion can be natural because your ability to read other players doesn't come solely from experience. Some people no matter how hard they try are just slower at learning to pick up other's habits and playstyles. This is why some players adapt better than others.
Also, some people's fingers can naturally move faster than other's, and I'd really like to see you try to deny that.
That is 1-half of it. What about people with unusually small hands or unusually big hands. What about People with thinner faster fingers and people with Slower fatter fingers? Someone made a joke about it but thinking it over I think Genes can play a role in winning or losing. Even if it's just by a razor thin line. Still I think the Mental aspect of the game can make of for the differences most of the time. All in all people who put in more work will be better. I just think More work plus natural talent beats Hard work plus Natural disadvantage. That's just my opinion in Sports and in games.Melee has no natural skill. That's why to me it's so appealing. Everyone starts from even ground and works their way up, as opposed to things like sports where your natural size ultimately determines how good you can be.
Mango isn't some prodigy. He just worked his *** of to get where he is now. Your skill in melee is determined by how much work you put into the game.
Also very true. People who develop a kind of ataraxia or calmness during serious events tend to do much better when something is on the line.people that feel not much pressure at tournaments, thats plays a big role in gaming, i allways choke but not like i used to cause i have more experience
To the people referencing KDJ: This is exactly why he got so good.sometimes i think that "talent" in smash bros is just having the right attitude and dedication towards the game early on, it can take you a long way
Yes he is.Mango isn't some prodigy. He just worked his *** of to get where he is now. Your skill in melee is determined by how much work you put into the game.
False. He's Asian.To the people referencing KDJ: This is exactly why he got so good.
Wrong. That means he's good at math and likely uses or will use Extenze. That has nothing to do with smash bros.False. He's Asian.
and starcraftAsians would probably be great at Smash, they are probably just too busy playing Street Fighter.

The only other thing you need is people to play.
