If a pretty good but not pro level player played 1000 games against Flash/Jaedong he would loose all 1000 of them badly. But in an FPS for example, if that same caliber player player 1000 rounds against fatality or a decent team played against the best CS team they could still take a handful of rounds due to lucky shots. Um. No. You obviously never played either Quake or CS competitively. Noone, not evne professionals touched Fatal1ty during his "dream run" back in the day, and I know I as a fairly solid Quaker, that I could never in my wildest dreams take a game off of the current beast, rapha. I think if I played a thousand games vs him(without improving, of course) at my level, I think I would probably have something like 50 KILLS total. And would be 0-1000. I would never come even close to taking a game off him. And as an even better CS player......it's almost worse. Sure, my team might take an occasional round(out of a bo15, like usual), but would never come even close to winning a game vs a top team. For an example of perspective, a round in CS or a kill in Quake would be roughly equivalent to an engagement in SC. A top level team could probably beat my team with nothing but grenades and desert eagles.....15-0. The difference is just as HUGE. You overestimate BW. I played an "average" top team in a CEVO tournament about 5 years ago...they beat us 15-1. They rushed us with smgs and shotguns every round. I almost quit right then and there. | ||

Now imagine doing even one of those runs.(If it looks simple then i dare you to try and beat them). Then imagine doing them 10 times in a row during matches. Not easy huh? Trackmanias skill cap is in my opinion the highest due to - Hundreds of thousands of tracks - 7 different environments with different car handling - Different substyles in all environments , all of which require different skills to be had from the driver , from pinpoint precision driving to figuring out puzzles. - Properly mastering even 1 track takes weeks , let alone all of them. | ||

There is a good reason why competitive MMO is looked down upon. | ||

Why is imperfect information limiting in skill level? It adds to it adding mind games, you need to be able to take risks or come to decisions on things without perfect information - a reason why RTS AIs are notoriously difficult to make. Also denying information becomes more important as you can potentially look to force bad decisions through these methods. Actually, Grubby was ~67% on ladder. The thing is that when you got to the top (especially in the masters ladder added later) you were competing with pros most of the time and, as hard as it may seem, Grubby wasn't untouchable and even non top-tier guys from some of the top-tier teams were able to take games from him. | ||

I love rts but imperfect information games are limited in this respect by their very nature. The clear evidence of this is how dominant top players are in each genre. The best rts players hit ~70% at their peak (given a reasonable sample size). The best FPS and fighter guys hang out well over 90% (although some are notorious for messing around like Justin Wong playing the TROLLDOK team in tourney lol). What about the fact that, say, Jwong can dominate at multiple games (mvc2, super4, third strike) at the same time while I don't think there are any BW pros or war3 pros could win a tourney in both at the same time? I feel like fighting and FPS games essentially are simpler games that reward on core mechanics far more (reaction time, mouse accuracy, button timing) while requiring less game-specific knowledge. Thus, if you're good at the core mechanics, you can quickly learn a game and dominate people, whereas in RTS games, learning the game is a far bigger task between the maps, strategies, and unique situations. Also, in FPS/fighting games, unique situations are somewhat fewer and easier to "reset" back to a neutral position. | ||

When I was playing Quake back in the days having the colours set like that (gamma settings with no shadows and shining players) was forbidden. Every serious competitive game allows fullbright color models and clear map settings... | ||

Clearly u misread my post...I didn't say take a game I said take a round or have a bunch of kills which you agreed with. Obviously the pro would win but purely based on luck you can still take a round once in a while or get a kill once in a while. In BW there's no such thing as winning a game once in a while vs an S class player unless you're a pro yourself. This is what I mean by luck being a factor...of course it's not a big factor but even if its 1-5% that's greater than the luck involved in BW which is pretty much close to 0. | ||
