That reminds me, and this is pointless musing on my part but I wonder if they'll bring back the Event Match things. They were fun to go through in Melee and Brawl, if utterly forgettable.

As loath as I am to dredge this up again, I feel like when making a flat, featureless version of every stage is deemed not competitively ideal for a fighting game there are different issues at play than the developer.

Personally, I prefer games that give me the opportunity to safely practice dealing with a flawed, unfair world and an even more flawed, fallible person (myself) than games that work to provide a perfect fantasy where I have total control and predictability. If that's what I was looking for, I'd just play Checkers. It's got the best balance, responsive controls, and is 100% free of unfairness.

That's exactly why it's so boring.

Wait are you implying that wanting unpredictability is inherently mockable

because i agree that its a poorly made article but uh

Endorph posted:

I don't know how to tell you this, but Checkers wouldn't be able if there was a 1/100 chance of someone randomly slapping a piece off the board.

Countblanc posted:

He's saying that human error (execution, emotion, etc.) cause unpredictability already, and that the author seems to think that without forced randomization you can simply execute your gameplan with 100% accuracy all the time and there's no surprises.

I would argue that that's ignoring his larger point though, as poorly expressed as it may be. The baseball/UFC analogy he makes is a good one, that while taking out all that stuff obviously doesn't eliminate the human error variable you're still eliminating as many as possible, and seeing that philosophy as flawed is a perfectly legitimate viewpoint.

As said though it's a dumb thing to defend so I'll stop here. BOMBERMAN

Endorph posted:

If you trip, you trip. End of discussion. There's no risk reward from that, no interesting gameplay, you just got hosed because the RNG decided you should get hosed.

As said though, that's life. Unlucky stuff like that happens all the time in sports and no one complains because it makes things interesting and the breaks even out.
