To quote from the good book (i.r. Sirlin's Playing to Win).My point is more this.
If someone wins with a low tier character, the win is mostly credited to the player.
But if someone wins with a high tier.character, the win is mostly credited to the character, not the player.
Like in mvc. Someone wins with stormsentwhatever, people its just chalked up to "well they picked those characrers, what do yku expect".
Generally speaking, of course.
The game only knows winning and losing.
Many scrubs have strong ties to “innovation.” They say, “That guy didn’t do anything new, so he is no good.” Or “person X invented that technique and person Y just stole it.” Well, person Y might be one hundred times better than person X, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the scrub. When person Y wins the tournament and person X is a forgotten footnote, what will the scrub say? That person Y has “no skill” of course.
Basically. It's more complex than that, but it's how deep they are in the stun threshold, which affects launch height. You can gauge critical levels with the move details in training.WTF is critical level? Is it just how close you have them to being able to be bursted?...
Certain normals/strings will put your opponent in "critical state" or "critical stun". The deeper they are into this (the more times you get hits in), the higher you can launch them. As for Critical Burst, you can only do this when they're at max threshold - when the "Critical Stun" indicator is glowing red.WTF is critical level? Is it just how close you have them to being able to be bursted?...

At the end of the day it's the winners who are remembered. Look at MvC2, Justin Wong is often called "God" in that game because he was hands down, the best player in the world. He also used arguably the best team in the game (Storm-A/Sentinel-Y/Cyclops-B), yet no one blamed him of using tiers to win. Same with just about the rest of the top MvC2 players (Sanford, Yipes, Clockw0rk, NEO, Duc, etc.)
It's the same for other games. Look at SSFIV, nobody dismissed Fuudo for winning EVO 2k11 because he used the best character in the game (Fei Long).
Heck, there are times when people actually use sub-optimal teams and characters that they do get called out. Look at what happens whenever Chris G brings out his Phoenix Wright team. He actually gets called out for either collusion or disrespecting the tournament organizers/spectators for not playing optimally at the tournament. Heck, the EVO Championship Series even has rules against that.
If you aren't able to deal with people picking top tier at low levels, then you will never even begin to be able to deal with them as you move up to higher levels of play.You are forgetting something.
Those guys are the best. It honestly doesn't matter who they pick.
I'm talking about the fgc as a whole. Online, offline, tourney, casual. Just citing the winners of the top tournament in the world doesn't mean much since that level of play is not relevant to most people. It doesn't factor in or apply, because people dont play at that level.
That's mostly because of the influx of new people who seem to have this "pro" vs. "casual" mentality. That's something that comes from other eSports communities and certainly not how things were back in the day.Could've fooled me. It doesn't seem that way most of the time.
