>>33872412To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand VGC doubles. The strategy is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the metagame most of the plays will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rizzo's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his strategy- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these plays, to realise that they're not just skillfull- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike VGC doubles truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the skill in Rizzo's existential catchphrase "Double protect," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as TPCI's genius wit unfolds itself on their 3DS screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
