Aside from the obvious whammies- Nintendog, (even if Frenchies are cute) Tingle and Starfy- All the Assists are a welcome sight.

I sure said that!

Skull Kid too. I had a match one day where every Assist I got was him (and every other Pokeball mon was Palkia or Electrode; it was a weird day).

That's a dangerous proposal- Even though most of them can be stunned now, they mostly have such high damage and launch output that the risk of mistiming the counter attack outweighs the reward of knocking them away, and it's compounded a bit by how readily some of the can just teleport or shoot at you from the other side of the stage.

I sure said that!

I can usually defeat them rather quickly, since I play characters with generally high damage output.

I like the Sable Prince just for how dangerous he is, doing 25% in just one phase and trapping people so you can get another attack in.

Shouldn't any reflector do that? Maybe not.

Skype has a text chat, so it's not imperative to have a headset for voicechat.

I opened a Casual-Competitive Conflict poll over on the McLeodGaming forums to see how strongly people generally lean for curiosity's sakes, so I thought I may as well ask here.

On a sliding scale of;

[Casual - 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 - Competitive]

How would you rate yourself?

Please note that higher or lower numbers do not denote skill level; an international tournament winner can still be a 1 and a small child can still be a 4, for example.

KEY:

  • 0 - NEUTRAL: No preference at all.
  • 1 - FLEXIBLE: Plays at the given setting in general, but can and often does deviate when playing with others.
  • 2 - DECIDED: Has formed a general opinion on both playstyles. Still very capable of deviation, but has an outwardly clear preference or focus, even if slight.
  • 3 - ROOTED: Is deeply ingrained in the given setting and does not feel comfortable leaving it. It's fine if you're like this, that's just what you enjoy.
  • 4 - EXCLUSIVE: Honestly believes that a given playstyle is inherently superior to another for any given reason; that there's a "right" and "wrong" way to play the game; this includes a belief that a focus in development towards one playstyle is damaging to the other (like, for example, if you believe that time spent programming items and hazards would be better spent on balancing, or time spent on adjusting technical details would be better spent on adding more content, for example). While a somewhat volatile path, still an acceptable one if general respect is given to other players.

(For the record, I consider myself Competitive 2.)

I'm not sure if I'm 1 or 2 on both.

So I'll say 1.5!

Maybe competitive 1?

Competitive seems like it gives more opportunities to do so with the added incentive of getting better so I can play more frequently. But mostly I just want people to play with tongue

I'm in kind of a weird spot. On one hand, I generally prefer playing For Fun over For Glory (though that's probably because the former isn't ranked) and don't really have a stage preference so long as I'm not spending as much time fighting the stage as I am the other player. On the other hand, I really despise playing with items on most of the time when I'm up against another human, and generally my focus in such scenarios is trying to get better.

So...I'd probably say Competitive 1.5 - 2.5.

Competitive 1 is probably my case just because I don't have many opportunities to play casual very often with other people.

You mean offline or online? Sure, testing how well I can do in a serious match is fun and all, but I would sure be down for some silly casual play at some point.

I'm fine with having all the cheapest items on from time to time. But I also want to get better so that's where the competitive part comes in.

... And I apparently behave competitively according to someone.
