I would have to see what the output looks like with this tech, but thus far I haven't seen any kind of real-world scanning software that generates usable 3d topology or texture mapping. The resulting texture files and models are so screwed up, you really have no other choice but to recreate them in their entirety.

It's possible that players may, for some reason, decide to just ruin some player's day by relentlessly pursuing them. If a high-level player gets into a match with a low-level player involved and they just constantly beat the crap out of the newbie, that starts to turn really sour really fast. I think that's where the

At what point are you picking on a weak player by relentlessly pursuing them kill after kill?

Seriously, though? Looks too good to be true? To me it looks pixelated, flat and awkward, based on this gif. Look at the left of the image. Clearly a flat plane with a photo attached. This is only going to look realistic until you turn your camera the wrong way or walk too close to something.

So do I, but I don't focus solely on one guy or try too hard to win. Getting too serious about winning in something as crazy as a free-for-all just seems silly to me.

Players naturally gravitate in and out of 1v1 fights in free-for-alls, but focusing solely on one player, especially if you're joining others in targeting them, can make things extremely un-fun. Besides, I think this rule is more meant to keep players from abusing their ability to pick on a single person and make

Just have fun and play the game. Win or lose doesn't matter if you're just playing with friends.

I'm a fairly competitive player in that I can hold my own in tournaments and at least put a dent in pro-level players' stock count, but to me free-for-alls are strictly 'fun' territory. You do play to win but you don't go to such a length that you ruin it for someone else by making it 'personal' like that.

That's what I'm thinking. People are kind of attacking me over saying they really shouldn't be ruining the fun. Winning isn't what this game is about, and if it is, you're probably a competitive Smash player, in which case you're doing 1v1 matches, because that's what you do. Competitive free-for-alls are basically

The way I see it there are two "modes" in Smash. Casual play, which is 4 person free-for-alls, usually with items and on silly stages. Winning isn't important at all there. Just have a good time. The other mode is competitive, and I've never seen competitive players do 4-person fights. It's always 1v1, no items on

Um ok so I take it you're competitive.

The spirit of the game is having a good time playing a fun game.

Competitive Smash is 1v1, is it not?

Sounds about right. It seems more about abusing a person than anything else, though. If you're in a 4 player match and you just single out and constantly harass one opponent while ignoring the others, that seems really counter to the spirit of Smash.

I have never once in any Smash match had to focus solely on one person in a 3-4 player match. The game is far too hectic to do something like that, and it's really not necessary to put every ounce of your strength into giving one person a hard time.

Not only that, it's a strange mix of 8-bit and 16-bit aesthetics, in places.

Yup. This game was so ahead of its time we STILL haven't really caught up. The music was highly dynamic, and the gameplay could be massively overhauled via the difficulty settings. I've still never seen another game that lets you change the difficulty of multiple facets of the game, to the point where you can turn off

This should have been her thumbs-down thing.

What I mean about Sarkeesian representing feminism is, for a lot of people, she IS the face of feminism of gaming. She's one of the first to really start to shine a spotlight on feminist issues in game media, and she's one of the few that gets such wide recognition. For a lot of gamers, she's the only feminist, or one

Watch her newest one and see how she transitions from talking about how the Hitman games had an ad campaign featuring murdered women in highly provocative positions (might as well have been lingerie ads, except the women were dead... no big deal of course because all that matters is they're still sexy, right?)
