Why are we making such a big fuss over this? The tournaments are currently run under the rules and guidelines of other tournaments ran for the game. SSBM, Halo, etc are played at a level that certain people call techniques, tactics, etc an exploit. There are PLENTY of exploits in BOTH games that are classified as cheating and NOT allowed. I realize that we aren’t MLG, we aren’t a HUGE player base tournament, and that we don’t need to follow guidelines and rules from other tournaments and leagues to a T, but they are the bar and they are the ones that typically set the rules for tournaments.
All of this discussion is because two people who don’t exactly play the game competitively are complaining because people who do play the game competitively are better than them and use techniques and tactics that other people view as “cheap” and then subsequently point as “exploits”.
Wavedashing is quite possibly the ONLY technique that can be viewed as an exploit, it wasn’t meant to be part of the game but it also isn’t a huge gameplay change.
