i would not have bought smash if i knew they'd have DLC characters i really didn't check itout before i got it cause its nintendo and i thought they were above that
Above what exactly?
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
I said I wouldn't have bought it if I'd have done my research and saw that they were going to add DLC characters. I never said i thought my game wasn't going to work because i didn't buy more shit... I just don't want to support nintendo, wouldn't have bought SF4 on console if I'd known they'd do that as well. Same with Borderlands 2, I let every company bite me once before i start really researching beforehand. DLC characters and weapons are unacceptable in online games for me. Maps are fine, that doesn't change the balance of a game, aesthetics are fine for the same reason unless its game breaking camo or something. I haven't been burned by good faith in a company for a long time, i made an exception for nintendo and got fucked. caveat emptor.

What the hell?
-- Speaking from experience, the DLC characters didn't actually have a massive effect on the meta. Ryu players are shining, but he's only high tier at best, and the entire Smash community doubts he'll be winning tournaments anytime soon; as for Roy and Lucas, they're pretty mid tier, and Mewtwo is universally accepted to be garbage. The game's 'balance' didn't change at all. :\
-- Speaking from my knowledge of basic business, DLC is going to be necessary to keep Smash 4 alive. The longer DLC is being produced for Smash 4, the longer people will be playing it overall: the longer people are playing it, the more patches are going to be necessary for it, which is because the game's balance is, in fact, broken as shit by default (not even relatively a fault of the DLC).
If you don't want to support gaming companies, I beg you do yourself a favor and stop buying their games - and I mean all their games; if you pick games based on something this arbitrary rather than how good the game is, you shouldn't be playing any tbh - so that there's more for the people who actually care to support the companies, developers, artists, et cetera behind the high-quality stuff they put out, ESPECIALLY in the case of Nintendo where they went out of their way solely to please the fans with what they chose as DLC and to make it as affordable as possible (4$ characters is definitely a bargain when it comes to DLC - and don't even start on the 'the game comes with 51 characters for 60$' nonsense, because it's not funny).
..'burned by good faith'. Pathetic.
man this went horribly off topic
ANYWAY
Do you have any idea how I might be able to use the equipment I create online yet? The 'range' value still confuses me: I'm going to need to mess around with it a lot if I want to get anything done. Oddly, I've never gotten a range above 21..
