I had an argument with a guy at work who said Sm4sh was a better competitive game than Melee because it required less technical skill.

Do i need to go and call someone an idiot? Because I'll take that mod action for the cause.

Your coworker is an idiot. How does having less technical skill mean it's better competitively?

I'm pretty sure I've heard that same argument, except with BW and SC2 instead of Melee and Sm4sh.

Melee is ridiculously complex.

My friend's notebook has lots of stuff in it ranging from advice to match strats to frame counts and timings. It's so deep.

I think people generally put to much focus on the very advanced techniques rather than focus on more important part of trap/baits and option coverage.

Well, I'm pretty sure he's ranked #4 in CT atm. Not that that's spectacular cuz New England, but he practices a lot and puts a lot of work into improving and analyzing his play.

It's Fate/Extra. You can choose one of the three Servants at the "beginning of the game" - Saber, Archer, and Caster in this order. Here's a picture of Caster:

I honestly don't think this game is good at all, but it's probably a mind-numbingly easy game so it'll probably serve its purpose of killing time.
EDIT:
As you may be aware from the Fate franchise, most Servants have some of wish they want to fulfill, which is why they get reincarnated as Servants in the first place. As far as Caster (Tamamo-no-Mae) is concerned, her wish is apparently:

looking for someone who would watch Code Geass with me, I'm at ep9, anyone willing to catch up and watch it with me semi-regularly?

I hate to tell you this, but that show is really not that great. It was hyped up a lot in the first season but it went downhill really quickly. You will be disappointed.

Sufficiency, the last show Scip recruited people to watch with him was Infinite Stratos.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't care whether the show is great or not.

I have never watched Infinite Stratos. How does it compare with Nanoha StrikerS and Strike Witches? It feels similar.
Also, I think the problem with Code Geass is that it had the expectation of being GREAT, but the fact that they had to put in 25 episodes of junk in the second season ruined it. Basically, the show isn't too awful, but it's disappointing. It's a little different from a low budget show which you go in without any expectations of it being good, but occasionally walks out of it OK.
