No i'm not saying timing just helps i'm saying it's a massive part of the compeditive aspect of the game. Which is, as i'm sure you know this is what i'm getting at, a large part of what makes you really great at the game. If you play against the best, if you can hang with the best, then you're one of the best. Anything less is far... very far from great. So far you're just deluding yourself into thinking you're much better than you are. You're average and show potential at best.
It's about how you view it man, If you played one of the Ogres during the match he'd beat you down so hard in such a humiliating way you'd either quit playing halo, start making excuses, end up breaking something, or do what most normal people who have a clue do... accept that you're not even as close to as good as you thought you were, and try to get better. Which is really what i'm trying to get you to understand. It's more or less what i've been trying to get you to understand for the majority of my last few posts. What defines you as a halo player isn't beating down people who suck at the game, it's playing with the best of them.
In soul calibur we call people like you scrubs. People who don't have a clue the extent of knowledge their compedition has about the game, it's an edge that knowing it and practicing it regularly with other like minded people, will make you better at the game exponetially. It's an entirely different level of playing the game. So much that it's almost impossible to get someone to understand who hasn't witnessed it first hand. You say you're great or good, and you wonder how someone can never see you play and still come to the conlusion that you're not good at a game. When you've lived in the tournament scene for 6 years like i have, you realize you can know that much based simply on how some one talks about a game.
Ok so you're saying you are not good unless you play a large amont of people. Some people don't have the time/money/etc.. to join a torunament. So if you do win a torunament you can't say you're the best, you can only say that you're better then people you played. I bet there are people that did't join the torunament that can beat the person who won.Great people can be the ones under the scene.
People don't have to play people that are just as good or better then them to get better.
We called people like you -blam!-s that waste thier life trying to be the best in a video game.
