no it's only gay if your friends have played the game like, twice and you're relentlessly beating the shit out of them. at least try to play at their level.
Dodging and blocking is the most vital aspect of any fighting game.
Why do people not realize this?

He's my main, I need to know!
I deal with a mild version of these people. They're not nearly stupid enough to say people should all play the same character (and we have most of them represented), and they at least extend their "random stage" selection to also include Battlefield and Smashville, but I occasionally have to fight tooth and nail for Green Hill Zone, Distant Planet, or Pirate Ship. And forget about Big Blue or Halberd...dragonsatemymarbles said:
Though I do consider myself lucky that they're actually just a small minority. I can typically wrangle adding other, relatively inoffensive stages to the mix (Shadow Moses, Castle Siege, Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon Stadium, and the like) with most of the crowd. And we tend to play without items (except Smash Balls every so often) just as a matter of course.
Speaking of...
Just last week, for literally the first time in years of playing the games, I played a few matches against actual humans with all items turned on. I was truly astounded at how fun it was.THEMILKMAN said:
I can still understand the pretension towards having items off, since the game can still be fun with just the standard characters (as long as you can have some fun stages, too), but now I recognize that that's what it is: a pretension.
No your friends just suck XD
lol i can beat most of my friends at it - they dont specifically mention me using those moves but they dont really use them at all - actually, i had to TEACH them to use them! XP but they get a lil annoyed if i choose to purposefully dodge them and ONLY dodge them - no attacking them - just dodging lol try it - it'll be funny!

No, in fact dodging is easily the most useful ability in that SSBB. Dodging also makes the matches you play that much more epic. My friends and I have a rule: you can dodge but don't overdo it.
Just keep doing what you're doing, if your friend complains again, tell him to learn to dodge and shield or you'll just keep beating his ass. SS is a game of sink or swim: use everything the game gives you to survive or you'll never be better.

Your friends suck. No, really. Go watch really high-level play. Nothing used is standard. It's doge roll, spot dodge, shield, air dodge, and Z-slide, which is technically a broken physics move that shouldn't exist. I'm fond of Links's Z-Slide and Snake's Mortar Slide.
This is comedy gold.NeutralDrow said:
OT: same as above.
I cant tell you how many times its saved my butt.
The only tatics i frown upon are Edgehogging and Self Distructing on purpos(Take it like a man and LET ME HAVE MY POINTS!)
If ypur wondering why i didnt say Item Spaming, its because i pride myself for being able to hit people with Deku nuts while they are offstage trying to recover.
Im also good at setting traps, especaly with Samus..... Ammunition Crate FTW!
My lil' brother playing as goddam MetaKnight...
"Spin,Spin fucking Spin..."
Then one day I slammed a fan in his Face.
He won't let me play anymore.

It's not cheap at all. Your just better at the game then they are. Dodging is half the fight. That would be like playing a fighting game without blocking...which it kinda is.blackshark121 said:
They definitely suck man. How can you not use dodge/shield?!
Just give 'em a slap round the head tell 'em to L2P.

My friend and I have games that go on for a long time with both of us constantly dodging and trying to get an attack in. I personally think it shows skill.
Besides, read the book "Playing to Win." If your a winner, you'll do what it takes. If your friend was a winner, he would figure out how to beat that or do it himself. He's a loser, a scrub, that's it.

I was ridiculed for always playing as Mitsurugi in Soul Calibur. The thing is, i'm not very good at fighting games but whenever i play as him i become almost demonically unbeatable. I don't know why. I get whupped with every other character. So I stick with him. One of my friends (at the time) was 'extremely' good with every single character, hated the fact that he couldn't beat me as Mitsurugi. He'd actually come close to foaming at the mouth.
It's not cheap. You mastered a technique everyone is supposed to know. Good job.
People don't play with me when i pick fox or wolf, because when they jump on top of my tank, i just go up and kill em. It's quite fun
Any glitches are also cheap...
And for CoD4, Radio Jammer or whatever is cheap as hell when you are playing a map with a radar.

I know what politician I'm voting for...HUBILUB said:
As for the dodge roll though, I do it quite often but lately I have been trying more to do the plain dodge. I think it looks better and is more embarrassing for the other player if I do it right. But no, I don't think it's cheap because everyone can do it and easily at that.
This makes me want to punch my cat. It's hardly a cheap tactic if EVERYONE starts with a few grenades/the weapon of derision. I'm guilty of "nade spamming" but it's a perfectly legit tactic since just about any military themed shooter has you begin with grenades. GAH! I just need to go frag some fools now.The Bandit said:
EDIT: I've had people get ticked at me for using counters in the DOA games and I just laugh. They're not that tough to learn, just to time in the fourth game, and everyone can do them with equal effectiveness. Quit whining.
It's in the game. Use it. Characters and items are in the games. Use them.
The only thing I ever call cheap is incessant attack spamming. Long range projectiles in fighting games (partially due to getting tired of hearing the attack name). That, or having the other team load up with grenade launchers in FPS's and blasting us at the start of the (no respawn) match. CoD4 incident forever burned into my mind.
