The Art of Brawl: Lesson four: Having the Right Mindset - Page 3 - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

It is possible to improve without tournaments but the truth is a tournament experience is incomparable at improving somebody at a video game. The only thing that compares to a tournaments learning power is playing with a group of people who are highly ranked in tournaments. There are other options to improving but they are far less effective. You can go to a tournament and get last place and still come back a much better gamer.

So what your basicaly saying is tournaments are good because you fight a wide variety of good brawlers? Why not just fight good people online?

Quality tournaments will pit you against players that are tougher than any online match you could possibly have.

Aside from the lack of lag which makes you play differently there are also many other factors involved in real life tournament play that you will not get online that can push you to improve.

The best players you can play online are good players who go to tournaments IRL and rank high. However people who excel in real life tournaments will generally be able to play better offline so you never get to play the highest class of brawl online which is what you must experience to become a pro which is what a tournament will give you.

I promise the superiority of tournament play will become very apparent once you go to one. It really is a life changing experience for a blossoming competitive gamer. If you want to discuss this further then feel free to PM me.

Ontopic response-I completely agree with the idea of a good mindset when playing. It really does make an extremely significant difference.

Ruby is super epic win, everything he said was correct, tournaments truly do make you ALOT better, offline experience with other great brawlers is something that will truly up your game.

Anyone that does have tournaments next to them, that also have the time to go there, seriously go to tournaments, it's a great help.
