I'll bring the tritium laser cutters if you bring the beer!

Funny story.

I can't believe that people think Halo is competitive. I mean come on people.

LoL? Competitive gaming? HA!

League of Legends is in the competitive scene only because Riot Games is throwing all of their money into to the scene. The game itself isn't nearly as competitive as DotA or DOTA 2, which are both in the competitive scene as well, because they deserve to be.

I've played many hours of both LoL and DOTA 2. One of them is a casual game and the other is a competitive game, yet they're fighting for the same spot in competitive gaming. It just won't werk.

I guess fighting games don't exist anymore. I love watching EVO and SBO every year.


There is a high amount of luck that beginners can get in fighting games, IMO.

Maybe in low level matches. Yeah someone famous will lose to a no-name every now and then, but it's usually because they were outplayed and outsmarted.

I thought I was the only one who played fighters on this site.

There's a few of us here. I know BLZL plays them a lot, and Thunderbolt plays Arcsys games. I haven't played much besides Tekken (and a little Guilty) lately, but I play pretty much all of them. When Persona just came out I beat Honzogonzo two of our three matches, so I was pretty happy about that. Used to be good at MvC3 but I took a break, I retired from BlazBlue after CS2 came out.

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

Not as competitive as Quake, but a good player will almost always kill a less skilled player.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

Guilty Gear is awesome! It's what got me into Fighters. I still play it on GBA. Though, now I mostly play SF.

Yeah, I heard arksys got GG back so I'm expecting a new title soon.

You're stupid.

Where's CS, Dota, or even Call of Duty? Like it or not Call of Duty has become big on the competitive scene and many people like to watch professional Call of Duty tournaments. And contrary to popular belief Call of Duty DOES take skill and teamwork.[/quote]

These games aren't competitive. They do not promote fast thinking and actions. [/quote]CoD is one of the fastest pace shooters on the market. What are you talking about?


I'm talking about it's lack of strafe and health. You succeed by predicting ( camping ).

Quake live on the other hand...

Halo 4 has strafe and health but you don't consider those competitive, why?


Because players that are professional in it. ( Carbine/thruster pack ) still end up getting killed by a lucky AR/Promethean vision charge, to say it lightly. You fight the game, not the player.


And folks in Quake get killed by lucky shots by "inferior" players all the time so what's your point? You can't compensate for any ammount of lucky hits in a game, they just happen. Say a Quake pro going at a noob with the plasma gun and the noob gets a lucky shot with the rail gun, gibbing him instantly.

Facts are a professional carbine player should already have known that the assault weapons in the game kill faster than any of the precision weapons at close range. If there is any fairness in the logic of "professional" gamers, than the guy with the AR outplayed the carbine player if he killed him in that given situation. Carbine player could easily have hid away and attempted to outmaneuver him, but he didn't, he died, and Mr. AR is up one kill.

Respect skill, Not rank.

MLG uses halo as well as lol and starcraft, among other games. They're plenty competitive.
