@Mus1cLov3r sigh. As I just showed, you're the one twisting words around here. I said what I meant and I meant what I said. This is a matter of opinion, so nobody is right or wrong here, but please have your opinions be educated. Back up what you're saying, and don't be spiteful. And, most importantly, when you're having trouble admitting that you're losing/don't really have any good arguments left (we in the smash scene call this "salty"), don't hide behind a wall of " dur, I don't agree with this guy, therefore he needs to learn how to read". Don't be that guy. Get with the program and learn about what you're saying, or leave. This goes for you too, @XCWarrior . Know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.
@Mus1cLov3r 1. I don't have to just respond to everything you say, with none of my own insight. All I did was note some of the positives of gaming. Learn to read. Also, many pro gamers, including ZeRo, have expressed the importance of mixing exercise with gaming practice. 2. Read my comment again, if you please. You'll see that it's comprised of 2 main parts: the first, simply answering your question about team based smash, and the second, which explains how smash builds teamwork. Once again, learn to read: it'll help you look at least slightly more competent. 3. In that case, you have no right to talk about whether or not spammers do better than people who use "skill", as you put it. If you can't deal with them, get better at the game. 4. To say that reading " generally doesn't work " is grossly misinformed. Reading opponents is one of the most important skills to master in competitive smash, and even though there is variety, there are strategies that work, and every player uses their own set of these strategies. You just have to see which ones they're using. 5. Yes, and I explained why it does require skill to play at any competitive level. You should follow your own advice, and take that reading class. Please, I'd love to hear more of your under prepared attempts at comebacks. Bring it. @Fee Ha ha, got me there! I said years because most smash 4 players started in brawl, as the two games do have similar mechanics. The level these guys are at would be much lower if they hadn't played competitive brawl, but you're right that they haven't had much practice with smash 4.
@Mus1cLov3r Literally everything you just said can be corrected. First, while sports do promote physical exercise, gaming, especially professional gaming, has been proven to raise reaction time, intelligence, and dexterity. Second, not only are there team based tourneys, but there are multiple different kinds of team based brackets - crew battles, where a team has a limited amount of stocks, as well as doubles team battles and, in the case of smash 4, triples team battles, Both players have to coordinate and work as a team to win. Third, have you ever watched a pro player play on for glory? There are many ways of dealing with spammers, and spamming is almost useless now thanks to multiple approach options. As long as you actually think about what you're doing, and, you know, use that nifty brain thing we all have, spammers are actually very easily defeated. Fourth, there's a little thing called reading your opponent, not sure if you've heard of it. It actually utilizes cerebral function, so it may take some practice for you. By seeing the opponent's patterns, you can predict their next moves, and counter them. Finally, please watch the video in the article. No skill? Are you kidding me? Their reactions, their precision, their knowledge of the game - this takes years to master. At the level these guys play at, I would argue that this takes much more skill than traditional sports. Learn the facts, then come back.

@LinkSword You're very welcome. It needed to be said.
