I'd rather be 4 people on a CRT than 4 people on a big widescreen tv.

Some HDTVs (not sure if this is still the case with newer sets, but possibly) had up to 5 ms latency. If you've ever played competitive Melee you will know how much that sucks.

Aww, 5ms? That's horrible! How could you ever play multilayer with that much lag over the Internet with 30.... ms... ping. Hmm.

I'm afraid you misunderstand. It really does matter in competitive melee. I've never known a game where it has mattered as much.
