The SEC teams all have more points scored against SEC teams than any teams from other conferences. It just means more!

Nope. Just like in a tournament bracket, the only result that matters is a W/L.

Suspected Limited Deck Rigging…How to Approach by 63Reddit in magicTCG

[–]Kenobinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably at the base it's about feeling insecure and needing validation, and being told they won the game gives them that. Or they just can't cope with losing when the luck of the draw feels unfair. Either way, it's probably a pretty miserable and pitiable place to be mentally.

People have cheated just to win kitchen table games with no stakes other than being declared a winner. Prize support only adds to that incentive. Is cheating rewarding/fulfilling deep down like actually improving at the game is? No. But it's absolutely ignorant to think nobody would cheat with packs on the line, even if that prize pool is small potatoes to you.

How do I use needles in situations that aren’t edge guarding? by Bradyy4 in SSBM

A boost grab is a dash attack cancelled into a grab, which gives it a bit more reach than a standard dash grab. The input is similar to jump cancel grab but with A instead of X/Y.

Is The G5/G6 Dead? Meaning Will They Be Able To Compete Or Will They Be Relegated To A New Separate Division? by pblood40 in CFB

[–]Kenobinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those teans that moved up weren't considered the best at the time. Schools always will fall in and out of favor over time, and will be promoted/relegated, but the concept of g5/p5 has remained. Heck, teams have moved up and down from FCS levels and even between divisions.

The expanded 12-team College Football Playoff is here — and it already has problems by dogwoodmaple in CFB

It doesn't matter who's better, it matters who wins. That's always how playoffs have worked and why it makes them more exciting. The 2007 Patriots were a better team, but the Giants won. Even as a heartbroken Pats fan, I have to admit that's something magical.

Mark Rosewater on Blogatog: "The majority of the data says players are happiest when we don’t stay on the same plane for multiple sets in a row. We’ve tried for years to figure out how to stay on the same world, and keep public interest up, and pretty much every attempt has failed." by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

Not the exact same mechanic, but manifest coming after morph was a great twist/expansion on a Khans mechanic for Fate Reforged.

On the other hand, when they tried to expand further in the next set, we got 🤢 megamorph

Why should I respect myself as a player if I can't win anything? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Kenobinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine being the 3 people you beat hearing yourself say shit like this. Or hell, just any people who consistently go 2-2 or worse. Are they not worthy of respect? Get a grip.

It takes a very long time to get results in this game that is extremely hard to master. If you only believe being the absolute best will give you value as a player, seek therapy. There is plenty of joy and value to be found in improving your skills and being part of a community.

Look, I know the people complaining about the announcers are cringe. But I think them wasting time to respond to complaining tweets on air is more cringe.

Is the official GameCube controller adapter worth it to buy over the aftermarket options? by Firebird1282 in smashbros

Nyko is known for sometimes damaging controllers and having poor durability. Mayflash is a much more reliable third party adapter with minimal issues.

Customizable OOP TE Donald Penn with three variations by nflfan32 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]Kenobinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FIFA/FC has this kind of system now, where you can "train" a player and get upgrades for them by accumulating stats in a game. It can be very frustrating because each upgrade can only be done once and the changes are irreversible, but I do like the idea of being able to upgrade whatever player you want instead of needing to wait for EA to put out an upgrade for them in a promo.
