Super Street Fighter IV Tournament (Round 5)

[RoXer]

You can't be considered the best in Call of Duty by only playing cage matches with RPGs. You can't be considered the best Rock Bander by only mastering one song. You can't be considered the best racer by only racing with PT Cruisers.

You can't be considered the best Street Fighter by only mastering 1 character. There are 35. I'm only asking you to master 5.

- Switching up classes in CoD is akin to switching characters, yes, but if someone uses a single class the entire game I don't see how that's a strike against his skill. In fact if he can make one class work in multiple situations his adaptability should be celebrated.

- The Rock Band analogy might work if it's a competition that forces people to play Face-Offs with each instrument. But I doubt people would accept such terms.

- The best racers only ever choose a single car to use, particularly in games where a player would have no real reason to use a lesser vehicle. He might need something that handles different, but then I might need another character to handle an opponent in Street Fighter.

Bear in mind this is an argument for people who don't play 5 characters competitively. I got my four, and then I could use Ibuki and Juri adequately if push comes to shove. Alva has who, Abel and Sagat? That's a series right there if they lose all their credits.

My point is, someone who is a jack of all trades will be considered better than someone who is proficient in only one area.

I'm asking for proficiency in 14% of the characters. Fourteen percent. That's all. What would happen if you turned in a project and it was graded 14%?

Alvavrado's been practicing, don't worry. Everyone will do fine.
