Really really easy. Don't hurt your brain.

Now. There's a very good chance this has been asked before. If it hasn't, then I don't know what you people talk about endlessly on this forum. So I'm going to ask it here. You're going to respond with an intelligent statement either agreeing or disagreeing with the mock statement.

Here's the mock statement.

"In a strictly Perfect Attack tournament, speed modifiers should be allowed, at the players discretion,"

So there you have it. This is a thread about whether or not speed mods should be allowed in PA tournaments. Its a very simple topic. Please stay on it. I want to see what the general feeling is, and I also want to see the supporting statements for both sides.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing your opinion.

P.S.

Once more, if theres been a topic on this already, that's great. We're going to re-inact it. So enjoy.

Speed modifiers do not change the rhythm of a song, thus not affecting the timing of the steps. Even if the arrows are easier to read doesn't mean that it will improve your perfect count that much.

speed modifiers should not be allowed as it changes the viewing of the arrows between players. all players should play on the default settings. it evens the playing ground and prevents people who rely on speed mods to have an advantage over people who play it normally. a tournament should test someones skill, not how well they can uses speed mods. it levels the field making all the steps defaultly the same. then again, im against mods anyway because it makes it easier to read, and takes away the challenge. now mods that make it harder; thats what i like

If you take away speed mods, then you have to take away the bars.

Speed mods should be allowed because it makes me PA much better and I am the center of the universe.

yeah, that makes sense. basically my point (poorly made) was that im disgusted with people who rape speed mods and the bar to get their high scores and cant do it under their own power/ballance on the default settings.

The only time I am against bar at all is when someone is trying to learn the game but I could care less if they use it or not, I am in no way against speed mods, that silly.

I don't care about whether you use speed mods, bar, etc. or not. I'll just whoop you mod-whores across town and back on Road of Slow. (bag 1x is fun! XD) And then you'll kick my buttocks at The legend of MAX Extra Stage. (500 BPM is hard! DX) But oh well. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, eh?

I think tourneys should have some rounds played "oni conditions," i.e. no mods whatsoever, and other rounds played "normal conditions," i.e. whatever modifiers you want except solo (unless both players agree). That way, it would test both those skills, i.e. how you play under your "best conditions" and how you play under oni conditions.
