User:Omega Tyrant/Competitive Q&A
Being SmashWiki's resident competitive smasher, I figure I'll create a page where people can ask me any questions they may have about competitive play, gameplay, information about characters and stages, what they can improve on, etc. Note though, I'm not equally knowledgeable on all areas, so don't expect an answer as equally informative as someone else may have received. For example, asking a question about Zero Suit Samus will likely result in a less informative answer than a question about King Dedede will.
Post your questions in a new section on this page, in the format below.

Age of players
Q: What would you say is about the average age of players in the typical tournament, and what is the range of ages? --- ReiDemon, Author Extraordinaire, 12:37, 27 December 2011 (EST)
A: I don't know the age of everyone, so I can't answer that accurately. Though in the two tournaments I went to, I would guess the average age was between 18 and 20. For the age range in the Smash scene as a whole, from what I observed, is from as low as 13, up to the high 20s (which could increase farther in the future). Omega Tyrant

Q: Why do you dislike Meta Knight even though you are a Competitive smasher like I am? ..... Happy New Year 
16:36, 27 December 2011 (EST)
A: 1.) Smashers from all levels dislike Meta Knight, from the top professionals to the scrubbiest of casuals. Being competitive is irrelevant. 2.) What do you mean by dislike? If by disliking playing the character, I simply do not enjoy playing him more than I enjoy playing many other characters. If you mean disliking the character himself, I do not dislike him, as being proban does not mean I dislike the character. Omega Tyrant 16:45, 27 December 2011 (EST)
Distribution of information
Q: What would you say is the correct and/or prevailing ratio of technical knowledge vs. non-technical knowledge vs. instinct needed to succeed at a high level? Toomai Glittershine 
The Non-Toxic 17:22, 27 December 2011 (EST)
A: I think this would vary from person to person. For myself, I find "practical knowledge" (such as knowing when a move will KO, its reach, its relative speed, etc.) more useful than exact technical knowledge, with instinct being capable to trumping both when it comes through.

Q: How long has it been since you got your first Smash Bros. game? Avengingbandit 
23:26, 13 January 2012 (EST)
A: See Mega's answer, though I got Melee back in the Christmas of 2003. Also, keep the name of the section relevant. Omega Tyrant 06:11, 14 January 2012 (EST)
- Sorry, I just couldn't come up with a name for this question. Avengingbandit 11:48, 14 January 2012 (EST)
Rumble:On or Off?
By default, Rumble is on for Melee and Brawl. Some smashers prefer to turn it off, but others keep it on, claiming that it provides additional stimuli to SDI as soon as they are hit. Do you play with rumble on, or do you turn it off? Why? Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 16:12, 12 February 2012 (EST)
A: I just keep it on, as I simply never been bothered by it. Omega Tyrant 17:12, 12 February 2012 (EST)
Copies
Q: Are people supposed or recommended to bring their own Smash Copy? King KirbyD 
18:49, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
A: Each person is not expected to bring a copy of whatever Smash game they're playing. However, tournaments are very rarely able to provide an adequate amount of setups (a full setup being a tv with a game console and game), and as such, recommend people to bring setups to the tournament, often giving those who bring setups an incentive (usually giving them a discount on their venue fee or removing the fee altogether).
