Um, no it's not a contradiction. And human beings can do some sick stuff if they try. You aren't accepting limits, because you don't know where they lie.
Not knowing limits, is just not accepting the truth. Humans have limits. Tell me dear child, Can you fly? Are humans capable of flight? Well if you try hard enough, you might be able to accomplish this seemingly impossible feat. Oh wait, It's just that.
Impossible. It's impossible because there are limits to things in the
real world. And the reason I call you an Anime Kid? Is because in cartoons, the main character is able to overcome those
Impossible odds with hard work and dedication. (Naruto, Rasengan. Think about it.) While there are some things in real life that pay off after hard work and dedication, (Weight loss, School, whatever,) there are just some things that are indiscriminate of how hard you've worked. This is one of them.
You know about Bolt right? How fast he ran? Well guess what, he has scientists refiguring how fast a human can really run. You see, spectacular things happen every day, even things believed to be beyond human limits.
Tell me, how many other humans can run close to the speed of Bolt? Go ahead and count, I'll wait. Give up? The reason there are so few, is because few people are given that edge that puts them a step above the rest of the human race. There are people with the gift of physical strength, knowledge, and other such talents. They are at a level that hard work and dedication
can't reach.
So you know what? You're wrong, I am not an Anime kid, I'm merely someone who believes that the human race can do well in a video game if they can in real life. It has nothing to do with anime. It's something called "willpower" look it up, it helps athletes to get better, whether or not someone believes in their so called "limits".
There's a disconnect from Willpower and ignorance. Willpower, is having the strength and the perseverance to win a tournament. Ignorance is believing that a character with so many disadvantages can win a tournament. Do you really think that Link will win a major tournament? Really? I bet you one million dollars that he won't. For five years. Go ahead,
keep me to it. Or become an Anime kid and, "Prove me wrong, Oniii-channnn."
Another thing, scientists are developing such crazy things these days, like their trying to make humans live up till 200 by killing aging cells. People thought things were crazy and impossible in the past; you're merely one of our time. It has nothing to do with anime, nothing at all.
You need to honestly stop listening to the media, and believing everything you read on the internet. The media is over exaggerating things like that,
to captivate people like you, who'd break a five for the latest magazine that has this story in it. And in that case, scientists are genetically altering humans. Maybe if scientists did that to a gamer, he could- Oh wait. What you fail to realize is Real life =/= Video Games. So there's a portion of you that go into the character you play, but you've also got to realize the character's limits. As in, It's you and your character. If one of you lack the potential to win, you will both fail. Doesn't matter how much of a genius you are, If you play a non viable tournament character in tournament alone,
you're destined to fail.
Well, whatever. That's why the people who focus on their character, low tier or no are the ones who win Brawls, and find the AT's everyone else who act like you^ leeches off of later, especially when that character jumps up. They don't need counterpick characters at all, but hey. Your opinion is what would keep things from changing.
Really? Lets reference Gimpy. Usually Gimpy is used to argue for you, but I'm going to use him to argue against you. Gimpy is very very good, we know this. But... did he ever win major tournaments? Oh! I think not. Why? Because Bowser is
Bad. And Bad characters don't win tournament. Not now, not ever. Especially if the game is unbalanced, much like Melee/Brawl are. Find me somebody, who's won a major tournament, with a character D tier or below,
by themselves, no counterpicks/subs, and I'll not speak of this again. Tangible proof, or don't bring this point into question.
It's Black History Month, no? It was the people who kept saying it was gonna change that were right. As Dark.Pch said, one word: Obama.
This is not only irrelevant, but Insulting. I'm black, does this mean I'm predisposed to liking Obama? Or are you just linking the two by, "accident." Surprise, Dark.Pch isn't black. Fun fact.
Even better for low tiers is that in Brawl there are plenty of defensive options. So, yeah, when there are crazy Peach players out there, you are going to realize the truth, one way or another.
I happen to be one of those crazy Peach players. I've beaten the three best ROBs in the United States, N4N3RZ, all in tournament. Fiction and I have recently won a regional in Teams, beating teams like MogX and TKD, DEHF and Champ, And I intend to place well this weekend at a regoinal. I've got extensive knowledge of my character, And I've attended at least one tournament, every weekend of every month, since brawl came out. This game is what I really like doing. As a peach player, I'm here to tell you, that Peach winning alone is impossible. But if you want to be splitting hairs, let me put it this way. It is
improbable to the highest Degree for her to win a regional without a sub. The DK vs DDD matchup isn't 0-100. It's maybe 10-90 in DDD's favor. do you really think that with Hard work and dedication, a DK could beat a Pro DDD? Didn't think so. My Point? There comes a point, where the
improbability rounds off to an
impossibility.
Peach suffers from too many disadvantages on too many different levels for her to be completely viable. While she's underrated now, she's totally not B tier or anything of the sort.
After all, twas only after these changes happen that the people started to see. Dark.Pch. Do me a favor, and prove all of these pessimists wrong. Change is coming. The low tiers will slap you around. They don't have to get "*****" in matchups. After all, there is always one thing or another you can do about another character's advantages. If there weren't, then matchups would be impossible.
"Gee whizz Onii-channnn! I'll prove everybody wrong, despite my characters bad matchups!!! You'll see!"Anime Effect. I invented it, I should know it when I see it.
Except, of course, the opponent might trip, or accidentally press the wrong buttons. It's like if characters couldn't do anything about Mach Tornado. Spamming it would be useful. But they can do something about it. Some of them just haven't figured out what these things are yet. And people like you are lowering spirits.
Lowering spirits? Or just Bringing truth here? Ehehe, not sure.
The tier list, in itself is causing more people to flock to the higher tiers, whether or not the could have potential with a lower tier and have talents in discovering that character's true potential. Instead, they flock to the high-tiers and therefore, the lower tiers are understaffed, and therefore worse off.
I'm not flocking to any high tier. I still main Peach. But unlike many of the other players that play this game, I've accepted that Peach can't do it alone. I still didn't flock to high tiers, I picked up a sub that would cover the majority of Peaches bad matchups. That sub is Kirby, and that team is very Viable in tournament.
Tl;dr? And if this came off mean, then I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated with people that have your mindset. The fact of the matter is, you preach about you not being an anime kid, but you are. you are the very essence of that name. You refuse to accept limits, and you are beset on the idea that if you work hard enough, anybody can do anything. While I will say that the tier list isn't set in stone, (Though it's very very firm,) I will also say that characters like C-Falcon, Link, Ganon, will never see the finals in a regional if they go it alone. There are plenty more characters that won't either. But that's what makes us different. I'm a competitive player, you play casual.
You play for fun?
Well, I play to win. And that to me is the most fun I can have.
