MLG Chicago

[adreniline]

Is anyone going? It's in St. Charles, like 9 miles from my house, and If I'm not mistaken, thats also not far from WanderingRonins house as well.

I'm going to go because it's mad fun, you don't have to be good, just watch the pro's play and hang out, play games at booths, and such.

i dont really like mlg.

Why? (Don't say because of jerkwads on Xbox Live, no excuse there).

 

[abandonship]

starting with a br everytime just doesnt really appeal to me. plus im against any button glitches of any kind.

Button Glitches are only used 11% of the time during a game. I hope you know that.

 

[abandonship]

but they are still used. either way, its just a preference, and there is no use in trying to persuade me to think otherwise.

I'm not, but you stated that as if the only thing MLG does is use Button Glitches.

How do you know its 11% ? and its still cheating..

You say it's cheating because you can't do it. Think of it as a fighting game, you need to press lighting fast combos, it takes skill to use.


And I went through all of MLG Dallas, and tallied how many seconds the button glitches were in use during the matches. Then averaged it to be 11% per match from all players.

It's not exactly cheating, but it is an exploit. It's like Cheesing in ClayFighters, if you ever played it, where you repeatedly use a short delay slash quickly executable combination attack to block your opponent from responding and back them up to a wall.


One of the reasons I don't enjoy BR-based game play. Even if I could reliably reproduce it, I wouldn't use it. The same with double throwing grenades in Halo:CE.

I could go out on a limb and liken the abuse of the exploit to that of the standby abuse from game launch to 1.4, but I won't.

on bungie.net i have jeremiah (ninjaonfire) quoted saying that button combos are cheating. and i never said that thats all they used. if you cant win without using a glitch to help you out, then thats pathetic. but anyway this has turned into an offtopic sort of thing, so i guess ill let this thread get back on track.

How do YOU know i cant do it...?:roll: :lindsey: No its not a skill every retard on this planet can do it...

And its still cheating read the rules:

I sort of would like to go, but can't fit it in....

Only time I ever go to Chicago (the land of insane interstates convergences) is for ACEN.
