Please. I get the Smug hype train and all, but no one is serious about Dudley being broken.

IDK, I've got nothing. "Reading on a High School Level" would work.
I have no context to this post and I'm almost too scared to check the last two pages to get the context.
Incidentally, this would make a good tag.

I dunno man, that seems pretty optimal for a thread title.
I remember going to a LAN center back in the height of CS 2.1 days. We had organized a group of so called veteran players to play each other. After we got done we decided to play a free for all type fun game and opened game to everyone at the center. A few people joined in and the fun started.
One dude was beasting on everyone hard body. Head shots all day, people were having a hard time touching him. It got to a point where some people in our group teamed up to take him down. Some people even accused him of using an auto aim hack. One guy started cursing a storm over this and was like "I am going to find this fucktard and beat his ass up!". So then a group of 4 people start searching by going at everyone's computer.
They found out that the player was a 10 year old boy beasting everyone. No hacks, all skills. Dude who was talking trash stopped talking and just walked away. The whole situation was just surreal.

People underestimate children in competition because they don't factor in one of the most important elements of developing a skill - having adequate time. That's all most kids have.
When Bombsoldier vs Ken videos dropped way back when, they were nothing impressive... because I, and a handful of others in SFL, knew of a little 12 year old boy, too young to travel, named Lambchops that did nothing but play against the CPU alone his room for hours at a time, everyday. Lambchops was impressed with Bomb, because he was a humble student of the game, and enjoyed high level play, but most of the things Bomb was doing in the videos that helped push Falco forward as a character (DBL Laser from ledge, Firebird stall, Double Shine, Dair > Shine Loops, Waveshine pressure and much much more), Lambchops was doing long before then and then some. Despite Bombsoldier's Falco being more competitively viable, Lambchop's Falco was probably years ahead in terms of pure technical skills.
He was literally the only player that I thought had tech skill that matched or surpassed mine when I was in my Melee prime - I took solace in the fact that he was a character specialist
Look at streetball culture. Who always has the sickest handles and crazy shit no one's seen before? The shorties. Stay home dribbling a freaking ball in the driveway all day. That's what I did.
I'm pretty sure royalties go to vocab for that thread title.

Wait.. WTF?!not FG related but I'm actually kinda sad about ADS in halo. does it even make sense to emulate CoD in 2015? let halo be halo.we are all master chiefs now
*looks at Gaming*
how could they even make this mistake, for fucks sake I had hope in 343 as well, in what goddamn scenario did they think this would go over well, especially after chasing CoD mechanics ended up being so tragic last time
Canada Cup broke even this year. Awesome. source: https://twitter.com/lapchiduong/status/531525211511091200
I sense a pattern but I can't really tell bc I don't read on a high school level
Same way XB1's massive amount of issues happened- the leadership is terrible and out of touch at MS. Still hoping for a KI PC port so I can give Keits some more money.

The Halo 5 news is hardly shocking after Halo 4.
On young kids and video games... there are many reasons why they can excel at games beyond many adults.
*As mentioned before they have the time. This is especially true for teenagers who basically just play games all day after getting home from school.
*Limited budget means more concentrated effort on a singular game. When I was a kid I had a NES with just SMB and Contra because that was all I was allowed to have. I played those games so much that I could speed run them and most adults who saw this were astonished.
*Less critical judgment of games. Most adults when they play a game in a series they go "man this game is alright but X game was SSSOO much better" after which they stop taking it seriously. A kid has no point of reference, for most the latest Smash game might be the best game ever for them which means they have more enthusiasm and motivation to play it.
*Kids don't have their muscle memories wired yet so its easier for them to pick up new things. This is also well documented... its easier to teach a kid how to do a fireball as compared to trying to teach your grandpa how to do it.
*Kids have reflexes that are generally better than most adults. Our reflexes start to go down, I already know mine are much lower than when I was 10. Whenever I play kids these days in FPS I will always lose in a situation where both players see each other at the same time due to difference in reflexes. I can only win due to mind games, prediction and experience... not on raw skills anymore.
That said nothing can take away from a kid excelling at a game especially at stuff like fighting games and MOBAs which require more than just raw skills.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt since they were in a situation few developers have ever been in. Their "pillars" of what they believed Halo should be were always problematic, but they made distinct mistakes they said they'd learn from (and had to, because of the outcome of those decisions).

Some people just like to believe that you can learn from your mistakes.

So Marvel and UNIEL had the same amount of entrants?
When Fchamp was wearing all those medals last night, he was inadvertently shitting on his own game.

Let's be real, it was probably a netcode issue.
FPS's and any game that require reactions require shaking the rust off after not playing it so long. The more you play it the more snappier your reactions get. It's like doing a combo in a fighting game. When you stop using it or stop practicing it, you forget the timing or forget the inputs. It's been like this for me since I was 12. Hell I had a hard to playing multiple games because of the little things you have to pick up that were only gained by playing x amount of hours. I think thats one thing that people don't talk about in competitive games is putting your self into every possible situation, and recognize weird things that happen. Conversions off an air hit in fighting games for example. Not something you can pick up playing casually. I know people shit on Marvel because it's the ultimate one player game, but it has so many things to keep track of that it makes it quite overwhelming for new players/seasoned players to progress to the upper levels of play in that game.
I don't know. Maybe my brain functioning has gotten worse due to psychological problems. If I don't use something, I truly forget it easy. If i'm not interested, I can't be asked to learn it. It's why I have problems with a game like Skull girls where the combos are as long as an college paper. You are right about no point of reference. You may play SFIV and think it's the best game ever, and put forth all your efforts and time into that one game. Not many people could feel what you feel when it comes to that game because they played other fighters.
Yoooo damn
Alternatively, they just ran a video in the back while she fumbled all over the controller.
I wanted to think this, but it greatly diminishes the performance if her reads are off a cue card and not the people.
Damn, is D1 part of the cast?
I don't want it to be true...
She's got skill.
