so everyone feel free to flip off kotaku until they get the message that - I think it's called "nerd shaming" - is barbaric and makes them look more shallow than jock stereotype cardboard villains from teen comedies

@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline What even is a Kotaku?
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:19:32 UTC from web-
@scribus it's a website. They'll post things about stuff and expect people to care. Then people give them more attention than they deserve. Their journalistic integrity is disputable at best.... nevermind it's just easier to say is EQD but for all video gaming and nerdy things

@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Hey, I'm in the FGC. You don't have to tell me to hate Kotaku, because I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of you.

@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Fighting Game Community.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:23:02 UTC from web-
@rarity which game
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:25:35 UTC from web-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Fighting Games in general. All the games are kind of one community. Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, Tekken, Atlus games, etc.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:30:09 UTC from web-
@rarity I see. Well I'm in the fgc minus ssbm because melee's competitiveness is determined by who can abuse unintended design flaws/glitches the best
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:32:40 UTC from web-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline SSBM is a party game
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:34:32 UTC from web-
@rarity It's still a fighter game though. Fighters are fighting.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:36:20 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg the creator of Smash says that it's not a fighting game. I'm not saying it's a bad game though.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:39:15 UTC from web-
@rarity I never said you did. Just that people take it casually compared to the others because of the nature of it when deep in it's roots it's still a fighting game. There's a meta-game and tiers and everything.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:41:02 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg I'm not saying there isn't strategy. But it's just too different from other fighting games, it's not really accurate to call it one. for starters, the K.O system. Knocking people off the stage? No life bars? In the case of competitive Brawl, random items that can drastically change the flow of a match? It's good, and it CAN BE competitive, but it is not a fighting game.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:44:15 UTC from web-
@rarity Items aren't ever used in competitive Brawl, at least none that I've ever seen. They take all of the randomness out as far as they can, minus the tripping which they can't really do anything about. That's the only reason why I don't call Brawl competitive at all, because one trip can completely turn the game around and it's bullmangoes that it happens at any given time.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:46:53 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Smash Balls
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:47:32 UTC from web-
@rarity .. which are disabled in competitive tournaments because they also can completely reverse a game by luck.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:49:07 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg last tourney I saw they were on. But whatever because Brawl is boring with or without them
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:50:06 UTC from web-
@rarity Your opinion, I suppose.

@flamingpandaomg >playing Brawl competitively >not just 4 players, 99 stock, all items on high
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:50:18 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I don't play Brawl competitively, I was just saying that's what usually happens at tournaments.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:52:27 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Yeah. There was a Brawl tournament at the last convention I went to and I didn't even care about it because they turn off everything fun about the game just to make it "fair"
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:53:27 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Well.. it's kinda needed. If you're going to be competitive to see who's best in the group, throwing items and smash balls in kinda lights the idea on fire and chucks it into a pool of gasoline. You have to make the odds as fair as possible.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:56:01 UTC from web-
@flamingpandaomg Didn't I just say the idea of "competitive" Smash is hilarious
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:57:22 UTC from web-
@redenchilada You did, but you were also saying it was boring because competitive was disabling everything. I provided the reason why they disable it.

@rarity True, but hell if it wasn't hype at Evo.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:45:11 UTC from web-
@fortecadenza I didn't watch it at EVO, I was too busy seeing A GEN WIN SSF4AE WOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:46:25 UTC from web-
@rarity Wait, that happened? I went to bed after Marvel.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:47:16 UTC from web-
@fortecadenza Yeah, Xian beat Tokido 3-0 in grand finals. I'm glad that SF was hype, because Marvel was disappointing. A Zero winning, that's fun, right
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:49:05 UTC from web-
@rarity Marvel would have been hype if Justin Wong won.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:49:50 UTC from web-
@fortecadenza I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THAT
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:49:59 UTC from web -
@fortecadenza Getting as far as he did with two low tier characters was pretty good. I wish FChamp or PRog had won, though.
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:51:19 UTC from web -
@fortecadenza It was still hype the entire time. I don't even particularly care about competitive fighting games but I was yelling and kiwi the entire time

@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline Does anybody even care about Kotaku anymore?

@bowandlyre you'd be surprisec
Wednesday, 17-Jul-13 20:27:17 UTC from web-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline I rarely pay attention to it.
