1x tournaments are fine. Like I said, do whatever the hell you want, but you have to realize that 1x tournaments are not average normal PA tournaments, because the point remains youre putting the best players in the country at a disadvantage.

Heres the facts.

The best players in the country use speed mods. Period.

Lith uses them
Tigger uses them.
Chronologue uses them.
JSBlade9+9x9x9 uses them.

Have you people looked at Aaron's AAA page lately? Many of the players on that page used speed mods.

I think what tuonaments should be like is

MODIFIER TOURNAMENTS!!!

The player selects a song, and each player turns around, and are given a select set of modifiers to go with it. Stealth of course, is forbidden. But it would challenge you, because you don't know if its gonna be an 8x modifier, or a .5x modifier or WHAT!

I would rather eat poop than play Legend of Max at 8x.

Speed mods, speed mods...should be allowed.

To those who say : "1x is the default speed. You should only play on that in tournys."

Beginner is the default difficulty...

With so many ppl using speed mods these days, having a tourny without them makes as much sense as a tourny where you can't use 1x.

If the player wants to use a speed mod in a PA tournament, then he should be able to at his discretion. If the tournament forces someone to play with modifiers picked by someone else, then that's pretty unfair. Especially if it's something other than a speed mod like shuffle or dark.

Strictly 1x tournaments are fine as well. If you don't want to play with 1x, then just don't enter the tournament. Pretty simple.

Wierd how you can be so funny and annoying at the same time

In a tournament where the goal is to get the most perfects, then the players should be able to play at there best. No handicaps.

If a person is better at PAing with 3x, go for it.
If a person is better at 1x, great.

Speed mods are totally subjective. They will cause some players to play better, and they will cause some players to play worse. There's a balance. Speed mods spreads the arrows out, but it makes them come up the screen faster so you have less reaction time.

Go ahead and tell me that playing Max300 on 2.0x makes it easier. Yes that's an extreme, but I'll tell ya... for people who are used to playing on 1.0x... if you give them a normal speed song and throw them on 2.0x or 3.0x, it'll kill em.

Since speed mods help some people and hurt others, and they don't affect fairness at all, there's no good argument to exclude them from a tournament from a "skill" perspective. If you want to see players play on 1.0x, great... then exclude them. But to say they make the game easier is totally subjective and I challenge anyone to disprove that in the general case. (i.e. anyone who says Bag, I will say Legend of Max)
