Now going to my sports analogy, when I talk of beating LeBron and his team, Lets take this scenario: we play 1st game and LeBron dominates. Next games in 2 weeks. I complain to the commissioner that it's unfair that my team has to contest against LeBron cause he has all the experience. Can you...

And then it raises up the question: If they make practice and years of exp. meaningless and cater to a scenario where everything's easier to do where you can pick up the game and dominate, then what's the point in training and improving?

You not getting what I'm saying at all. I didn't say I don't want new players. That's gonna happen regardless of the game/sport. What I am saying is when someone says its an "unfair" advantage that someone who plays at the highest level wins cause he/she trains and played for ____ years and...

Not play and then lose to someone who doesn’t play seriously cause the game just has to appeal to a more casual audience and it generates upset scenarios. It’s silly and it doesn’t make for a competitive environment.

Same goes for gaming. I want to compete with people who dedicate themselves to a game, regardless of what it is, and they play at the highest level where even if I lose, I can take that home and say I competed with the best in the world.

Back to my sports analogy, if I enter the NBA, should I be able to beat LeBron in shooting cause they make the hole in the hoop bigger so it allows more made shots? No. I should beat ______ cause I took the time into practicing and my practice pays off with being able to compete at a high...

Not to say that it’s impossible to beat someone with more exp. but you should work hard and practice a lot and have competitive fire instead of looking for games to be more suitable for casual play cause then it’d be pointless for it to be “competitive”.

I’m saying that in response to someone saying that in particular fighters, it rewards people who have legacy experience and it’s unfair for tournament scenario’s and learning the game, that it’s how it should be and it should reward hard work and progression instead of lowering skill gaps or...

from 9th to 5th even in a local than me not playing at all just hop on and win top 3 cause the games simple and caters to whatever and it's more generous than Oprah saying "you get a w, and you get a win, you know what: EVERYONE GETS A WIN."

Which takes away from calling it eSports or Competitive gaming since anyone can play and win and there's not much significance in winning. Not to say that winnings all that matters but there's more significance to me labbing and playing grueling games to see myself progress....

And if the game caters to a more casual audience then what's the point of practicing and labbing and IMPROVING, if I can just hop on, pick the best character and just dominate a tourney cause it's more accessible to casuals. In return it becomes more bland at that point.

It's almost like a BnB at that point. But what I'm arguing is against the notion that competitive fighters shouldn't be rewarded to the best who play for long periods of time and labs the most because it turns casuals off and there's not many upsets, which I find bogus cause it's gonna reward...

I don't think Gerald's arguing that making moves easier leads to best players losing. Looking at the EVO moment that he pulls up, he's saying that making moves easier reduces the significance and uniqueness of a player since anyone can do it.....

That someone who hasn't even touched a game can make someone struggle cause the game has to appeal to more casuals and it has good "Upsets" but then when he's getting dogged in Grand finals vs a dude that definitely knows how to play the game, that doesn't make for entertaining fights to watch...

Not to say there shouldn't be stuff to help a new player but thats why there's training or tutorials (That's the big thing I'll criticize about Tekken to this day.). I want the same feeling as if I practice my shooting and when I play I'm 60% from 3 point range in a game cause I practice and I...

Now to say this, there are rookies or 1st years that play well (Ben Simmons in NBA, Fourniette in NFL, etc). But as of now I don't expect them to take on LeBron or whoever's the best in NFL right away but I can see them putting up a good fight. It's the same way I see in Competitive gaming.

We can tell if a team slacked off or they play the same way cause even in NFL that happens. Not to say there isn't luck that happens but when I watch at the competitive level, I can say ok these are the best teams and they put in the work to have that shot.

the best teams will still play well, there are upsets. But it isn't because the team had more luck or whatever. It's because they took the time and played their hardest and to the best of their ability. It also helps that it's single game elimination.......

Let me compare this to Professional/College Sports. I feel that looking at the competitive perspective, I'm watching the best players compete. I like seeing players at their best compete to win a championship. Whether it's NBA, NFL, etc. Now given NCAA is more exciting cause even as.....
