I'd rather...win. What Rigel does makes him win. That's what counts. It would take me a very long time to come up with stuff to add to his Cassandra strategies, so it's better for me to copy at first since what he does wins.
Damn, way to prove me right again and mention a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. |

Inui...wow. Askio says he is at MLG status for Halo and CoD. Yet, you still don't give any respect for his opinion, when he clearly has an understanding on how competitive gaming works. As for the "copy image" thing, I can see both sides of the argument. I wouldn't really mind if I played similar to somebody else, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to be seen as a clone. Neither is really a big deal though. |

Notice how when Lucas starts posting, things aren't fun anymore, but as soon as he stops? ![]() Li Long and Hwang aren't in the game anymore, but Amy is an actual main character now, not just a Raphael clone. |

Hey, those are shooters, so it's not that relevant. What shocked me is him saying it's nubbish to learn from friends if they're professionals or a lot better, when in fact it's very smart to do so. Being a clone of the BEST is always a good thing. When you reach the same level as the current best, THEN you try to surpass it. Askio, what is the name of your Halo team? I've never seen you at an MLG and I used to go to them. |

Thats debatable. But what isn't debatable is RTS is harder than both Shooters and Fighters

It's arguable which is more difficult to be successful at: fighters or shooters. Fighters require you to be very intimately familiar with all the characters in the game, to know their strengths and weaknesses, and to be able to adapt your style of play to suit the strengths and weaknesses you might encounter. Shooters require you to be more coordinated as an individual and as a team. You have to be intimately familiar with weapons, maps, and the spawn points of said weapons on those maps. You must have good communication skills, a good mind for strategy, and excellent reflexes and aim. Both require different sets of skills. So you can't really say which is > than the other. |

Not all shooters are team based, though. I think Unreal Tournament is supposed to be played 1v1 at high levels, though I might be talking out of my ass. |

A lot of shooters are 1v1 in tournaments, though there are many exceptions as well. I prefer two on two for Halo myself, less clutter. And why are we talking about this stuff here. Make a "which type of game is harder" topic before this one is killed. |

I don't think it's arguable. Fighters have more depth to them (except Brawl) because of the physics and characters. Fighters also require more technical skill, knowledge of stuff like frames, combos, etc. Shooters are just plain more simple. Everything beyond weapon and map knowledge is just reaction time and reflexes. Teams play adds communication and teamwork in general, which a game like Melee also have due to teams. Fighters: Depth, combos, knowledge of technical stuff Shooters: Knowledge of maps and weapons, reflexes Hmm. |

Games like CS are also bigger than 2v2. Getting a group of 5 (?) people to work together in harmony is harder than 2 people. Plus you really aren't considering aimming and dealing with recoil in FPS. I think Fighters probably are harder, but I wouldn't say its a set in stone fact. |
