He doesn't change his opinion to mine I dislike him.
I normally don't shorten things like that but that is essentially the core of your reason for disliking me.
It's childish, grow up.
I would far more prefer if you disliked me simply because I am such a prickly *******, and less so than for simply having a different opinion.
idk, Jebus is respectful guy as far as I can see, and is nice in person, and is actually good at the game. shadowlink is just some ******* on the forums who doesn't seem to add anything good to discussions either.

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe...just maybe it is because you joined in late that you did not see any of the contributions I have made?
I don't particularly care if you call me out for my trolling, but I do get a wee bit annoyed if one is to say I never add anything good to discussions.
Which we've had already a year ago, two years ago, and sometimes three.
Considering you have not been around long, nor were you frequenting the boards that I do at the time of those arguments.
Like, okay feel free to dislike Jebus, or whatever you'd like, but Shadowlink84 is due just as much negative feedback as is given to Jebus, if not more.
Anyways to get back on topic, since just railing on players we don't like is hardly tasteful.
Which is why you spent a lengthy part of your post saying of how much you essentially dislike me. Right?
Perhaps the reason I do not wish to contribute is because it the arguments are cyclical and are ultimately subjective.
Funny enough, unlike yourself and Grim, I don't take the time to dedicate posts railing on other posters, not unless they choose to do so themselves like you.
The primary reason for all the negativity towards myself isn't due to the actual content, but the fact it is an
opposing argument.
If you want, I can list off two other users who got themselves into a bit of a grudge with me simply on the matter of banning DDD's infinite.
You're essentially the same. At least have the maturity to keep your negativity to yourself and not fan it like K.I.D. and Browny do simply cause it makes them feel oh so good to mock someone.
Or you can also have selective memory like them so you can continue the railing, whatever gets your jollies off. Do know I'll point it out each time when necessary.
This is where our opinions differ. I think that in such a case, it would be perfectly reasonable to ban or limit the tactic/move in question, rather than accept that the game is broken and play something else, especially when it's the only truly glaring issue left in the game (yeah, yeah, MK, I
know 
). Especially with such a unique and fun game as Smash. And I think that planking is similar enough to this example to be used.
No.
Ten no's.
This is the EXACT.SAME.MENTALITY that AN follows.
Or at least way more intelligible reason than "oh god its say gay ban it."
Essentially, you're pretty much sacrificing the competitiveness of the game simply so that enjoyment can be had.
That idea in itself isn't wrong, because after all, a competitive game needs to have some sense of enjoyment otherwise, no one would really want to watch it or play it.
The problem is such limitations and bans set the bar as to what the competitive community will allow, and the reasoning behind it will also open up other possibilities.
IF we are willing to go so far as to place a ledge grab limit, so far as to limit a part of the core gameplay is a bad idea.
We should not be altering such things unless it ensures that the competitiveness of the game is maintained, which it does not.
All that happens is people get the nice, lovely feeling of knowing that SOMETHING is being done.
It does not matter if it is effective or not, does not matter if it actually addresses the core problem so much as it is SOMETHING.
Like recycling cans in the name of stopping global warming.
I won't entertain the latter part since you already know what my reply would be, but hey I'll take the Einstein part for sure. I have the hair for it.
Part of the reason why the smash community is mocked so very greatly by other fighting game communities i for two big reasons.
1. We are trying to make a game that is geared towards casuals, into a competitive game. That in itself gives off the idea of the community being childish, stubborn, and incapable of seeing the game in its appearance.
I do not necessarily agree with it, but when you take into account my second point..
2. We have discussions like the LGL and alot of the time, whenever something is banned, it isn't banned for being harmful competitively but for being banned because it is gay.
We immediately freak out whenever something troublesome comes our way and rather than analyze it, take it apart, we create very stupid rules like the LGL.
The saddest part?
The Brawl Community actually collects their data! We collect a massive amount and make it relatively easy to find, and yet, we still make silly and scrubby acts such as LGL, such as constantly limiting the bat just so that it can remain legal.
