I'm just saying they're not going to jump into the game, immediately start trying to wave dash and when it doesn't work go "What the fuck! It's not working!" They're going to understand it's a game with different physics. They've gotten where they are by being able to break down a game to it's fundamentals and, while this isn't Melee (or whatever game they play professionally), they're definitely doing to pick up on things a lot quicker than someone who plays the game with friends who are "pretty good" (meaning, players like me). They're not going to be firing on all cylinders, but they're going to be damn good.
I mean yeah, it's a factor. It takes time to unlearn old habits and exploit new things about the game. But someone with an already higher basic understanding of Smash Bros. has a much better shot at that than a random person who's only ever been able to get decent at any of the 3-4 previous games. I think the idea you're talking about though holds some merit, and it's why we won't necessarily see the current best Melee or Brawl players beat everyone. Among experienced veterans, it's kinda up in the air for this first event. But adjusting is what fighting game players do. It's a common characteristic of higher level play.
Is there footage of that? That sounds awesome.
Alright, so I've decided tomorrow will be a new stage shown off. A Starfox stage for the WiiU.
Also, hello SmashGAF. I'm new, please don't hurt me.
Quick recap of myself for you to form opinions on.
I would love to see Wonder Red playable. I expect 48-49 characters. I primarily played as Kirby, Luigi, and Dedede in each smash game.
This was a hopeful (and totally improbable) roster of mine I made a few weeks back.
Yes, I actually believe that Sega and Nintendo are buddies enough to let another Sonic character in.
It's hard to say exactly. I know our locals usually give about 100-300 bucks for singles, and usually about 2/3 for teams. Sometimes those happen every other weekend, other times we can go about a month without having any. A top player can (and around here, does) always win those.
He's the reason they all need 9-5 jobs.
I think it's more about the prestige than anything. I wouldn't be surprised if I went to a Chile's and saw Mango at his day job.

Mango got ~2500? for Evo, and PP got 5200 for Apex. Big tournaments have pretty varying pot sizes/bonuses. Of course, even for the elite they can find themselves placing down to 7th or 9th sometimes. There are usually a few big tournaments a year. You also have to take out travel costs, since there's a plane ticket involved in many cases. It's hard to gauge with any sort of certainty. If I had to guess I'd say the top 5 probably make enough to call it a living, but not enough that it would be a salary to get excited about.
That doesn't even consider sponsorship. I have no idea how that all works.
Regardless of how much they make, it must be nice to get payed to travel and compete. There are plenty of scrubs like me that go out to these things and only ever lose money.

Thanks I'll give that a read.
I have a little knowledge of pro Street Fighter gameplay, so I've heard of that (I use Juri in SSF4, and she sort of has an offshoot of that). That's crazy cool! Thanks for the share.
Hey now, the games that used that were vital like Rayman 2Or Superman 64
I made a thread about it but no one cared so here:
I posted it a few pages back and no one cared about it, so there
