@ Fire Pheonix - No one listens to you because you're on fire! Go put it out or something, it makes everyone weirded out.
@ all you people saying good players can dodge beams - Yes, yes they can, however, you can only dodge a beam so well, especially when someone else is trying to melee you, or maybe you weren't being paranoid about beam spammers. Suddenly, you're stuck in a head-on or swooping away from someone else not paying attention to mr. spammypants. Huzzah, you see a glowing sphere in the distance! Someone's charging another kamehmeha! Oops, the guy you were fighting taps you on the shoulder and introduces your nose to his five digits. Finally, you stop flying back, perhaps teleporting away to avoid a gen beam and when you whip around to take out Mr. beamspammer, hey look, a nice blue beam of splortch. The spammer explodes the beam close to you, or close to anywhere if he's Goku and takes out half the map. If you're lucky enough to get off 2 teles, you only lose 50 hp. WOOT!
@ all the stamina talk - Hopefully this will clear everything up, as FP and I have been saying for a while now.
@ people who complain about 'melee' spammers - Uhm... I don't know what to say other than: What? You want me to just.. float... here?
@ people who will say I dislike beams - They're part of the game. But so is Buu. Buu ain't allowed in tourneys for a reason, beams shouldn't be spammed. Simple.
To re-iterate for Mr. FP:
Stamina should clear this up.
