Reasons Why You Should Use Skills

I know this is an old topic, debating whether to use skills or not to in a game. However, despite all the arguments flying around in the forum, I am stepping forward to explain why skills should be used in a game.

1) Part of the game.

It is part of the game. If Viwawa doesn't want the players to use skill, they won't create these skills for us to use / buy.

If you want to play Sushido without skills, why not you go MSN Games or Yahoo! Games to play ********* instead? ********* is exactly like Sushido, but not in Sushi form and 100% no skill is allowed.

Here's the link, just in case you are all too lazy to search.

2) I play to win.

I play to win and the objective of the game is to win, regardless of how. Hence, skills are there to make my winning more secured (have higher chances of winning). If I want to play to lose, I won't play any games.

Do you want to lose? Do you like to lose? Nobody likes to lose, but someone has to lose. Since you are not willing to buy / use a skill, prepare to lose, badly, if I might add.

3) I bought the skill.

If I don't want to use, I won't buy. Since I bought it, why can't I use it?

If you are not willing to sacrifice a dollar or two for Viwawa cash, then don't complain when people who sacrificed their pocket money to buy skills. It's give and take, you can't expect to take everything and not give something in return.

No money? Don't bull **** me. You are sitting in front of some high end computer / notebook, using broadband or at cybercafe, you have no money to buy Viwawa cash? Probably eat less one round of KFC / McD , you have enough cash to buy a skill and some recipes.

4) Without skill, its more challenging.

This is a classic case of sour grape. You can't use skill, so you say its more challenging. I want my win to be an easy win, not after some serious sweating or throwing my mouse against the wall or hitting the keyboard after I lose. If you want challenges, why not get your butt off from the computer chair and play some real games? Clicking your mouse isn't challenging, at all.

With skills, its more challenging. Because, when both players have skills, it takes even more skill to know when to use skill to achieve maximum effect / profit. Besides, you won't know who will win until the game ends. I once was leading $150 all the way until the last move, my opponent used skill and won me by $1. Now, that's more challenging than you think.

5) Total ingredients increased.

Just in case you don't know, the amount of ingredients increases as your sushi recipes go higher up. For level 20 onwards, you are going to need 15 ingredients, which needs at least 6 to 8 moves when you are in the worst case scenario. For your information, customers run away on the 9th move and I certainly don't want my customer to run away because I want to win. (See Reason #2.)

Level 40 Sushido Ichiban requires 30 ingredients. I would pay for your skill if you can complete the sushi without using any skills. Even if you manage to do it, that particular day must be your luckiest day in your whole life and probably you should go buy number, who knows, you might win the grand prize.

Well, if you are slightly hardworking and is willing to analyze the sushi recipes, you will know the difficulties of completing your sushis without skills. It is even clearer when you are level 28 and above.

Oh wait, those who complain not to use skills are mostly below level 20. No wonder you all don't understand our difficulties. Why not you level up until level 28 (without skills) and then only decide whether to use or not to use skill?

6) Time to level up

Just in case you don't know, you are going to need probably 6000 exp just to up one level (Level 30). If I am to play without skill and my total profit in a game is somewhat between 100 to 200, I would be earning only roughly 60 exp. Good Lord, I have to play 100 games just to level up, that also if I am lucky to win all 100 games.

With skills, you can increase your profit up to 300 or 400, which can earn up to 100 to 150 exp or more. Now, isn't that a faster way to level up? Ask Cui_Er, top player for April, probably she's going to need 10,000 exp to level up and if she is to play without skill, she would be very old by then.

Play with more people? Didn't you know that the more people you play with, the chances of losing also increase? With 4 people, you have 25% chance of winning. Besides, 4 players, everybody wants the same ingredient, do you think you can complete your sushi so easily without skill?

6) Only the low levels player complain.

Funny how I don't see the high level players complaining about to use or not to use skill. Only the low level ones. Hmm, isn't that weird or is it that all the high level players decided to agree not to complain or because the high level players know how to play the game by its book? Go figure.

Now, people, don't be a spoil sport or sour grape. Sacrifice a little bit of your pocket money, buy those skills. When you have skills, Sushido is more fun and your leveling up journey will be easy. When you buy skills, you are indirectly giving Viwawa more profit. With the higher profit, Viwawa can pay its employees and upgrade to a better server, which will give you a better gaming experience.

Don't just take, learn how to give.

P/S : This post is for those who has the money but not willing to spend, sore losers who can't seem to take losing like a gentleman/woman and grumbling about people using skills all day long. For those little kids and primary school students, I understand your plight. ****rs.

[gEr]

[xiao_wet]

[life4rent]

neat job done. maybe after this some of the players might change their mind about skills.

[jasonlioh]

Thanks people for supporting.

Now, I wonder where are those people who complain us using skills. Why they aren't here to defend themselves, like reasons not to use skills or something like that.

Hehe.

[vstarling]

u see the point? Only the high level ones dun complain...

Cos it benefits them.


Not all players play to level up.

Nobody is asking admin to BAN THE USE OF SKILLS.

But just to intro "no skills" channel.

Will that affect your life any bit?

I dun think so..


Try asking higher-level players not to use 2 tables or use skills. Do they listen? No... They will go "Siao...I buy liao of cos must use".

But truth is not everybody wants to play "skills" game all the time...

And when u want to play "no skills" and u put ur room as "no skills", some ***** will purposely come ur room, know that you did not LOAD any skills and so purposely play all their skills.

SO......Why go through so much conflicting issues?

JUST introduce A "No Skills" channel...

[huige]

Hmm... Totally agree with the views of using skills as well as what we can, unfortunately, onli do to (try to) prevent the use of skills by ppl. In a nutshell, i think it is just the PeRcEpTiOn of how ppl view the usage of skills.. I myself personally, not say support or comfortable with using skills; rather it probably is sees the usefullness of using skills.. not becos of the aspect that i m a high level player so i won't complain; but becos of the point that skills will really help a lot - if you want to progress in the game. Hence, skills are here to just one word - HELP. I can understand why ppl still won't feel right with skills as they may foresee skills as doing a great disadvantage towards them. To players feeling unright about skills - skills, in my view, are simply to help ourselves.. The underlying matter it can help - progression.. NOT IN ANY WAY, wanting to put at a disadvantage to ppl.. in another words, 对事不对人。

In conclusion, in my view it probably is a matter of how ppl FEEL of the SPIRIT of skill usage - whether it deals with the matter (what matter - to simply progress), or whether it is still meant to some players as being selfish as to give them great disadvantage - so the occurance of having the view of skills usage as "cheating".

In another words - the aspect of 对事 VS the aspect of 对人.

i agree with vstarling, the low level people might not have enough gold to buy skill, or some people don't like to use skill to play, i agree with it

[jasonlioh]

Vstarling

You are playing NOT to level up? Why not you play with me then? I promise I shall use only 1 table and no skills, as long as you lose to me by default every round. Since you aren't playing to level up, win or lose doesn't matter to you, right?

And this post is not about introducing a no skills room or not. It's more like discussing why one should or shouldn't use skill. I am cool with that idea of a separate channel, but as players' level up, its just a matter of time before they realize they need skills to play the game.

Skill is a double edged sword. It can help you and also help your opponent. It doesn't guarantee you will have super combos.

Well said.

UtahJazz

Probably you didn't read my post word by word. Why not you read it again before blurting out that one doesn't have enough gold or don't like to use skill?

[da1on]

I support use of skills but i also respect other's choice to create no skill rooms.

But what i dislike is ppl coming into my room and tell me not to use skill like it's their god given right. I'm guessing it's this attitude that is irritating and not the creating a "no skill room".

I once had a player comment to me after i used magic fish "Please be reminded that skills is not allowed". I'm like.... erm... hello?

My room title is "5s all skills allowed"

So as long as u don't impose your view on others this conflict will end. Players who play skill go one corner and those who don't, go another corner.

don't impose on us who want to enjoy a skills game your dumb rule of no skills especially when they are build in the game.

****rs,
dalon

[da1on]

Oh and i forgot to add i do hope the admins create a No Skills channel. This is a game afterall. We are meant to enjoy not quarrel.

Let's just respect each other's preference of playing style. There will always be *****s around live with it.
