Possible Rumors About Me
I'm sure quite a few of you know that I use other people's openers frequently. I know that some of you greatly dislike this. You tell me not to use "so and so"s move but its not even your move to tell me not to use it. Everyone's moves that I've "stolen" I have performed in the same match as the owner and had none say "do not use that move" with the exception of Odlov. I have though told him that I use his move. If anything somebody somewhere has stolen a move, made it better, disguised it and it's evolved into something somebody uses today through "stealing" again and again. We're eventually going to run out of useful openers for every game mode. When that time comes we'll all be thieves according to logic. I end my rant with "imitation is the highest form of flattery".

Uhhh....i never EVER told anyone in the game not to use my moves.
You must be confusing me with someone, or maybe you structured your sentence wrong.

In my opinion, if the matches you're playing rely heavily on openers then you're either playing a simplistic mode or you and your opponents' skill levels aren't matching up well.

In reference to Hamster I have used the judo " hamster hug" as my opener almost every single time. Except I was using it long before I even knew who hamster was (yes this was a long LONG time ago, hence why I don't play judo anymore). Good moves succeed and are passed on while others are inevitably negate.

Great, now someone gave me -rep for something I've never done.
Hitman, please correct the sentence in your post so it doesn't seem like i accused you of stealing my move, because that's what it sounds like now. PLease, please be more clear when mentioning someone. Make sure it conveys precisely what you want to say.

If they can only copy, then they'll never ever be a better fighter.

Read the whole post before quoting. And for gods' sake can we get a mod in here to lock the thread?
