I'm sorry. My perception of old and new may be different from yours, since in perspective of members who joined in 2011 or so, someone who joined in 2010 would seem to have been here a rather long time. xd







"A point to be proven" you say? And what would that point be? That some younger generation members can take older generation members because older generation members are all OP due to their customs. Don't fall into the illusion that Customs and abilities define the older generation. Such is only part of the equation. I say this because numerous times, the "LOLSeniormembersareonlygoodbecauseoftheirOPcustomsandstuffz" argument has come up, usually as the hidden notion to prove behind such organized events like this, and time and time again the argument has been shut down. Yet, people still tend to cling to it. It isn't to say that without customs, the newer generation still has no chance against anyone of the old generation, but I do not want a general misconception of why us members of the old generation are so revered. The reputation is a testament to our skill, not simply a plethora of devastating techniques.

It seems to be that the newer generation continually concerns itself with the issue of how it "stacks up" against the older generation, and so long as that sole mindset remains the new generation's purpose, it is not likely that the new generation will ever surpass the old. In the years past, especially during this site's first two years, a constant desire to measure the newer generation's (of that time) capacity in comparison to the older generation did not exist as it does now. Instead, each member had their personal drive to excellence, and because of this predominance of individuality, the generation unified and the somewhat newer generation somewhat "silently" surpassed the old in a sense, or for the most part, they managed to be on par with the oldest generation of that time (I am referring to people like Madara, Bisha, Zanji, and Hells). While the time period between the two was not very large (only about 6 months before the rise of the "2nd Generation" of NarutoBase), the process was clear, more so now than it was then. There is a great lack of drive for individuality now. All it seems to be is people bothering themselves with never being able to surpass the old generation and not having the opportunities we had and blah blah blah. A great sensei alone does not make you special. Your motivation, your experiences, your skill, and your mindset do.

lol
im kinda mad that you madde me read all of that

and i actually do agree with that part that some people are only good cause of their customs.

but the point i want to proove is more for myself. not anybody else. that the older gen arent as OP as they seem.. if i beat one OP person i would probally delete my NB from excitement. but im sure im not the only younger gen who wants to beat an older gen. i never knew RP mods RP except SY which i got 1move pwned by. i personally dont think ill be able to beat him till next year MAYBE

but your right. i just need to get to atleast b rank in everything then i think i can handle a op person. but ill take your words into consideration

btw. LOTS OF OP WORDS THERE. lol. made my eyes hurt for a min

I think what he means is that usually high ranking people are really good in RP. I mean I could probably beat a S-class ninja and it has nothing to do with rank o_O
well idk. its kinda weird. but im sure ppl can notify their own NB GROUP.

kinda like clicks in high school if i may say

*shakes my walking stick in the air*
tell'm billy *talks without my fake teeth*
What about me? :| I may make mistakes in battle once and a while but i'm still pretty da** good. i have an arse load of customs for everything i have all canon ninjutsu my bios allow and i am baws ( fancy way of saying boss) with my ice bio yet i'm not good enough to get put on a lsit of new rpers? sure i make spelling mistakes but im still good good enough to survive maybe even win a macth with nor guy ( don't feel like writeing his whole name)

That was just the Rper's he knows about. I dont think he know but he gone learn xd.

Although it would be different if I was jounin and you were S-Class. With the exception of Luiz who uses mostly his parrot customs to pwn.
lol

All you need to beat a "Op Person" is an active mind and the ability to scan an entire move. That is where most people mess up. There either use the same jutsu in every battle and become predictable or they do not read they entire move and end up missing the single aspect that will lead to the opponent winning.
does anyone even read my F***ing posts :|?
Yes Haku we care :rolleyes:

Ur right there but then again, I could simply only use A-ran techniques xd

Luiz is one of those few summoning enthusiast like me. I actually use buzzards in every single battle that allows customs xd

Just a suggestion?
but i was thinking for awhile

Have the older generation Vs. younger generation.
and whoever get to the final round fights (unless its its 2younger generation or 2 older generations)

by younger generation i mean the regular people on NB. the ppl who had a hard time getting training and still do. ones who barley get special treatment. and ppl barley know. or your just ...NEW

Older generation to me is OVERPOWERED RPS. Senseis/Senpais/RP Mods. Ones that can tell you about the forums like the back of their hand. who get special treatment. (not being biased. but its the truth)

to name a couple younger generation is

Me,Rodu,Sadoku,Paul Uchiha,Oaucus,Hertic,Blade,Imlazygetoverit,kitten,becca. etc (dont take this as an insult pls)

older generation

Crow,Darui,Scorps,Yard,Howard,Drizzy,Loki,PERVY SAGE xd.,Scary yamato, Toku, wesobi, jacob moore, johnity (Sorry if i misspelled it) norweigion (sorry if i mispelled it) so on so on

((I for one would love to fight scorps and the NOR guy. i have nothing agenst you scorps but its kinda been a desire for a while. but the NOR guy.... U_U)

it would be 2vs1. 2 younger Vs. 1 Older

is this a bad idea? just spit balling here.

give me some input pls
hey what about me =[ i'm a younger gen

For the sake of digesting your post, I decided to split it up, by the way.

and i actually do agree with that part that some people are only good cause of their customs.
This will always be true of each and every generation. It does not take away from the individuals in that generation worthy of veneration (rhyme lol?)

but the point i want to proove is more for myself. not anybody else. that the older gen arent as OP as they seem.. if i beat one OP person i would probally delete my NB from excitement. but im sure im not the only younger gen who wants to beat an older gen. i never knew RP mods RP except SY which i got 1move pwned by. i personally dont think ill be able to beat him till next year MAYBE
Of course you aren't the only one, but you need to change your mindset first to bettering yourself rather than dethroning someone, in a sense.

And yeah, I find that some of us RP mods do not get recognition as members when people seem to forget that we started out as members and have indeed been members long than we have been RP mods, and the time we were regular members exceeds the time a majority of the current NB individuals' population have been members. And you should know that practically all of the RP mods are not only some of the oldest members but also considered to be among the most skilled. Izuna, SY, Goro, Rag, and I were (and still are, more or less) well into NarutoBase RP for years. We know the trends in the system, we know how many members think, and we understand what it takes to make something of yourself. Being classified as a legend is more than just being capable of killing people in one move. It is, as I said, a combination of thing things you've done, your skill, your motives, your mindset, and your ability to use certain skills in the right manner. Experience plays a major role.

I also noticed your mention of certain "older generation" members thinking they are too good to train certain people. You are partially right, and unfortunately, there are people who are partial to training students based on prestige. Others have different motives or cannot simply train anyone who asks for specific reasons. For me, I tried to mostly remain impartial to who I trained (I took several people who were considered very new generation during the time or extremely hopeless and disliked for being noobs as my personal students such as Emperor and Caliburn (obviously, he falls under the category of the former)), and as of late I do not train as often because I am busy. A good bit of the time I do train people is reserved for members which I have specifically sanctioned to train of my own accord or members who I train in abilities very specific to my character. There is also the difference in the attitude which I believe may turn off some senseis. Don't think you are alone in feeling nobody wants to take you as their student. Many of us felt that way in some form or for some time in the past when we were newbies, but each has his time, and if it doesn't happen to occur for you, you can always make something of yourself on your own (some find this difficult to do, but again, I refer to individuality).

but your right. i just need to get to atleast b rank in everything then i think i can handle a op person. but ill take your words into consideration
With the level of OP abilities people have now, having only up to B-rank techniques is not going to cut it against even the most pathetic (in terms of skill) OP RPers. You'll need to achieve a higher level of skill and technique, but innovation is necessary. Not simply innovation in your customs, but innovation in forming yourself as an RP character.

btw. LOTS OF OP WORDS THERE. lol. made my eyes hurt for a min
xd
Glad I could be so helpful. ^_^
