My opinion about the perfect play is optimistic, but I see it taking a long time. What may of have been thought of has impossible back in 05' is becoming the standard from my few years of playing Melee.
Instantly, I get countered for hitting shield. Again, I was proven wrong by Frootloop by doing this to my marth when I attempt to Utilt a missed tech. Additionally, I thought it was impossible for someone to use dropping from platform while in shield consistently. Low and behold I started doing that myself what I thought was impossible. When I first started out I literally thought that covering all tech chase options by simply reacting was impossible. I am not certain if attempting to be perfect in game-play is feasible or not. With the intent being an opinion which gets you closer to being a better player overall.Ĭlick to expand. Otherwise, a person makes a statement finds out they are wrong, then can reevaluate to some other opinion. However, that only occurs when it has been proven that someone is wrong. How am I am suppose to practice? Why do I want to practice those things? What is the downsides or benefits to practicing this compared to teching?Īs you said, I think its wrong for someone to act like they know better. Well, the problem is that there is a ton of stuff about this I do not know. Suppose some tells me to get better by practicing L-canceling, wave dashing, and dash dancing.
No, instead Zuloon attempted to criticize that. The point is that someone is not seeing what Hax has said and be like, "This top player said this bit of information, so therefore it must be true". That is not what I am going to try arguing. Is the conclusion right or wrong? I am not sure. Zuloon here has attempted to analyze the game in some fashion. At the very least seek out more information on why something is "right or wrong". To me its worse for a person to simply take what others say at face value without challenging what they are saying. When other people hear what he is talking about, all they hear is "20XX spam tech skill gg", but Hax would not be placing top 8 at TBH4 or almost beating Armada if that's all he did when playing.
Essentially, Hax knows how to play melee, and to further his ability in the game, he looks into greater option coverage - even if it is from ridiculously hard tech skill. When I say "know" here, I mean you are so accustomed to it that it is second nature. I think it is the consequence of this thing where you begin to understand the game in a different way, so you start to say that that is how the game works to people while ignoring all the stuff that you just know. You have to adapt to your opponent no matter who it is, but he never talks about that. It feels like he wants to basically play TAS without the 1-frame reaction time (because that is actually impossible for humans). However, I think he has a bad mentality or at least the way it is expressed when he talks about it makes it seem bad. He has to have something good about his play style (or at least better than the hundreds of other entrants). He gets higher placings at tournaments than the other hundreds of entrants.
