how much is "winning" important? - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

Lets face it, getting the win isn't always clean. We sometimes have to resort to "cheap tactics" aka CGing, spaming, camping, edge hogging and such. How much does winning mean to you, is it worth using "cheap tactics"?

I personally prefer to fight clean in friendlies, but in a serious brawl I will camp, spam, edge hog or whatever I must to get the win. But even so there's a limit I always set on myself; serious or not there's some things you just can't do.

I only use cheap tactics on friendly matches. On more serious matches I tend to stay away from the cheap tactics, unless they are spamming or doing anything else cheap then I won't either. But in fun matches, I do it alot

Did you make this because of me? lol.

In friendlies you shouldnt do whatever it takes to win, unless both people want to fight like that. I have friends like that. But in a tourny match... do whatever it takes, except stalling, unless its the last few seconds of the match.

everybody likes to show there skills and win. but is it important? nah. i can gladly walk away from a match happy as ever that i lost. idc who wins as long as my oppenet can give me a good match. as long as im going head to head with someone that is as good or better then me, i am then happy. plus like what i go by about this site, idc if the sages are the best or someone else that is well known. you can be the best brawler but if you make it a cheap match then your not worth it. so its not about winning to me but enjoying a close match to the finish. so all i ask is give me a good match and i will be happy, win or lose. ^-^

Agreed with Folm. Friendlies you should take it easy and not edge-hog etc.

Now in a REAL tourney match you should be able to do WHATEVER you need to do in order to win.

Sleddog · 09-19-2009, 05:33 PM

unless its a tournament match winning is not that important its all fun

I prefer fighting as serious as I can in friendlies. However, I'll play with items, banned stages, and computers, if the other person wants. But that's as far as I'll go. It's just how I like to play the game...

I actaully like losing more than winning if the person I'm playing is really good. Either that or someone I'm really even matched with. Winning is meh.

metalhead84 · 09-19-2009, 06:50 PM

Switch the first two bold words + switch the last bold word to "losing" and that = me.
