Evo finals: 999 timer, all items high, poke floats
Comment on Not even FS Meter is safe
RivenRise@lemmy.world 10 months agoMy unpopular opinion is that the pros aren’t actually that good if they have to gut a game to play it. I wanna see the do all the crazy shit they do but with items on and on annoying stages like the moving Pokémon one. Either get good or fuck off. I can’t think of another game where they do this stuff to this extent.

I get that you have no experience trying to play this game skillfully and don’t really care about the concept of fair competition but I can promise you, the competitive players would still dunk on you with every mechanic turned on. Because without the gimmicks you actually have to learn the base mechanics to win which Carrie’s to any game mode.
They know more about the game then you so they know how a usable the item system can be and how obstructive stage hazards can get. They’re looking to compete, not just dick around with friends so of course they’d look for the most equal ground to see who’s better.

They do this in every game that has a competitive scene. It’s done as a means of eliminating random chance being the factor for a victory or defeat. Does that make it less fun? Depends on who you ask.
If you ask me, yes. But then I don’t play competitively.

What other competitive scene eliminates all the content from the besides 1 level

Rocket League They removed non-standard areas first from competitive queue and then from Standard as well. And then they stopped offering the rocketlabs Gamemode for non-standard Maps.

It took me all of 10 seconds to find the rocket league list of competitive maps, and it’s about 16x the field of “competitive smash”
