And proper brawling is a skill that needs to be learned.

No it isn't lol.
Look up the definition of brawling. Brawling means no skills involved, anyone can do it. You can be better at it than others but you don't learn brawling. If you learn to fight, any style, it is no longer brawling.

I'm not saying that fighting at close range in mechs does not involve skill. I'm saying it shouldn't be called brawling.

I think there is a lingual disconnect. What you might consider brawling in the UK is different here in the states. It is also a pointless argument. There are far more important topics to discuss about the game.

It's funny how many people seem to have replied after only reading the title though. It's almost like i could make a post about...oh i don't know...3pv? and people would vote without actually reading the post... :)

Oh I read the first post. I don't like change. At all. I cling to my nomenclature!
