@Affe please explain why you found mirror matches boring and brainless.
e:
Yes but WHY was it boring, I wasn't around at the time and only recently started playing and haven't had the chance to play any mirror matches. Please state your reasons.
You guys remember the Movie Terminator 2 ? T-800(Schwarzenegger) vs T-1000(Patrick)? It was interesting because they were so different from each other.
If they made the movie T-800(Schwarzenegger) vs T-800(schwarzenegger) it wouldn t be near as interesting and epic like with the T-1000! Its the same reason why mirror-matches suck hard.
Games are only become interesting when 2 factions with different strenghts and weaknesses fight against each other.
In a match ger vs ger you know that no matter what happened ger will win.
Imagine a mortal kombat game with only liu kang as the only fighter.It would be liu kang vs liu kang all day all night.BORING.But when liu kang fights against sub-Zero, scorpion, raiden, Johnny Cage......it starts to become interesting because the fight will start to have variety with different abilitys, strenghts, weaknesses..........
Mirror matches have no variety because your mirrored enemy has the same strenghts and weaknesses like you.
