ok.
1st: all of you stfu.. as was already stated "Americans have their rules, and Europeans have their rules."
2ndly: @ Des, FU BISH I SO DONT BEAM!!! *cough*
3rdly: i dont use beams in pro fights, for one reason, and one reason only,
a noob, who uses beams... could easily beat a pro if he just run & beamspam.
with basic melee only, there is no room for "luck", same with adv melee & randoms, for example, 1 well placed beam can change entire match outcome, which i personally find pretty f***ing lame.
With basic melee only, there is no dispute with "i would pwn you if you didnt beam me" and all that crap, there is no room for whining, its a perfectly fair fight, which the outcome is is determined by the strongest style, and the strongest skill.
the Raikou rests his case.
