Built-in Parsers

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

So all that not having a built-in parser creates is a disadvantageous enviroment for ps4 players and PC players who can not run parsers since they can be kinda buggy at times(there is a friend of mine who can not get ACT to work no matter what).

Once again, I contend that in all these 4 years, I've never been at a disadvantage for not having a parser, or the ability to use one as a PS4 player. Have there been times I could do better? Definitely. But I've always been far from underperforming, simply because I made the effort to be good.

While this sounds like a brag, don't take it as such: someone recently referred to me as "legendary", which I found a bit odd. Then I remembered that they didn't see all the trial and error I put in, or the hours spent on striking dummies, practicing, refining, literally using the information given to me right before my eyes to figure out how to do it better and better all this time.

Sure, this is where one might say "But a parser can. . ." Yes, it can. But where I can't use it, I simply bricked my way up. It's not impossible. And while it's not easy, anyone who makes the effort can do it. Remaining neutral on the matter, the game can be played at a high level without one, and for that reason they aren't needed. Helpful, no disputing that, but not necessary to do well. If it were, PS4 players would already have a means to utilize one, or an official one would've been implemented by now. But I can't say it enough; I am NOT disadvantaged for being unable to parse just because I'm on PS4. Let's please stop using that as a talking point.

And that's what a disadvantage is. Can a bare handed person defeat someone with a gun? Definitely! You only need to spend 15+ years studying martial arts in order to defeat someone who picked up a gun 15 minutes ago.

Of course this is a completely hyperbolic example, but the fact remains the same, I have acess to a tool that you don't, this simple fact puts me in an advantage. Can you work around it? Sure you can, but you still worked around a disadvantage.
