Confessions of a lousy smash player!

[.Marik]

I'm horrible at consistent L-Cancelling.

I play super aggressive with Falcon.

My Melee Yoshi has lost all its technical ability. :\

 

[Stratford]

I screw around a lot. If I'm up a stock or so I try to kill my opponent a certain way. I think to myself "I'm going to win this with a shine-bair," and then keep missing them.

Oh absolutely same. And it defeats the purpose of trying to win in a badass way when you keep failing...

 

[S l o X]

Oh, in saying that I'm horrible I also meant to add: I can't DI because I DONT play anyone. I can last while vs CPUs but they are way too predictable. My spacing isn't very good. Umm all around, I'm a bad player. I haven't gotten the basics down but I can do some technical stuff. (kind of sad?)

 

[weon - X]

Avoid beeing tech chased, but only by fox, i just don't use my head when im against him, hes such a *****

 

[smakis]

i hope everyone realise this thread is gold for people who is going to meet you in tourneys in the future? :>

as for me i dunno, peach gives me trouble (although i main ice climbers, awesome matchup!)

 

[Teczer0]

Sometimes if I play too long I have a hard time focusing on my opponent. This one stock against swiftbass I paid attention to the tree in PS (When it transforms into the grass part) and I realized in like 10 more seconds I lost my stock.

Way to go me! Also I get super nervous , and sometimes don't trust myself as a player.

 

[TresChikon]

Tree johns are f*cking legit.

I always try to go on the windmill and charge a smash to be tricky, but I die trying.

 

[Teczer0]

LOL

Probably one of the best johns I made in my entire life .

Swiftbass is **** too, definitely the wrong opponent to zone out against

 

[Big_R]

My biggest weakness is my consistancy. Sometimes I play like I'm tink and sometimes i look like im a scrub.

whats the difference?

 

[Strong Badam]

^this .

Wow, hahahaha. I actually laughed at these. Best john and best jab at another smasher ever.

 

[Antifate]

I always wall-jump at every opportunity. Even against the tree in PS for no reason.

I can't stay away from edges as Falco, or LDL with him.

I always think I can squeeze 1 or 2 more tech tricks/multishines when my opponent is respawning.

Oh yeah and my chaingrabbing/chaingrab escape DI or mindgames or w.e. is awful.

 

[Teczer0]

Nes Noob - ROFL hey its a legit john =/

antifate - It sounds like you're well aware of your own habits. Which is a great start btw. Try to think of different options (especially at the edge) and incorporate them slowly.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

Why dont you ever help me

 

[Teczer0]

Because you're too good, Travis

 

[SleepyK]

i get nervous and i don't believe in myself

also i play smash bros and do the same thing while playing the game

 

[JFox]

when im in tournament i completely forget how to play this game. i stop thinking about the match entirely and just start thinking about what will happen if i win/lose to my opponent. I tend to end up spamming "safe" moves over and over when i freeze up like that

 

[-ACE-]

Worst thing for me is getting a tad nervous and having my tech skill go to ****. lol

 

[Samochan]

My consistency blows :<

And I can't woonwalk either. ._.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

It's k

i cant either

 

[N64]

I don't always take things seriously until i'm on my last stock.

Also, I'll get frustrated sometimes if i'm being predicted too much or screwing up too much and I'll just stop DIing and shielding and watching my opponent. I end up just focusing on being purely unpredictable (see: bad) or spamming whatever i'm screwing up on until it works (which given i'm frustrated already, doesn't work).

 

[AXE 09]

i can honestly say.... i have a problem against opponents who... ROLL a lot

for some reason, when the person i'm fighting rolls a bunch, i just can't punish them lol. like seriously

sometimes when i fight forward, he'll roll back and forth like 4 times, and i just can't hit him, and i'm like wtf?????

i guess i've been playing with people who never roll for so long, that when i play people who do roll, i can't do anything haha. kinda wierd

 

[pootTheBox]

Can't down b recovery with the Mario Bros.

People who wd back and dash dance camp

 

[victra♥]

I get really lazy during matches until my last stock or if I'm far behind in stocks.

I don't dsmash enough (lol)

I'm just lousy in general.

 

[Che_Lab]

Lack of motivation.

quoted for trooth

ima lazy *******
games still fun though

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

I sometimes pick up really bad habits when switching my person every other match. like I will be the ice climbers and down-smash like a madman(down-smash love) then I will play as pichu or fox and try to down-smash a lot and I forget how many broken down-smashes there are in the game.

 

[Pink Reaper]

I can't defeat Airman.

I've also lost the ability to play seriously with Kirby unless I have my opponents power =\

I also suck at Wavedash OoS

 

[null55]

i'm gay.

i **** up my tech skill.

i'm kind of opponent-dependent sometimes.
against certain people i can focus more due to excitement/fun/stakes/etc.

LOL I do this on purpose cause it messes with certain people. I rarely roll, then i'll suddenly roll 7 times in a row

 

[Nintendude]

I think rolling is actually one of the most underrated maneuvers at the highest levels of play as long as you aren't stupid about it.

I suck against technical Foxes and also occasionally choke or do stupid things when someone starts spamming the same move over and over (like DJN repeated f-smashes LOL).

 

[pockyD]

rolling is incredible when you use it to dodge a move

it's much less good when you just use it to try to escape bad positioning

 

[edgeluca]

I can't stop Crouch canceling everything
Even when facing Ganons... sigh

 

[Teczer0]

This.... is something bad?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

You get to CC one ganon move at 0%. after that it doesn't work.


Make it count.

 

[edgeluca]

This.... is something bad?

When facing Ganon, yes.

 

[TresChikon]

What are you talking about? You can escape into worse positioning.

 

[`Jammin' Jobus]

i switch characters too much. i just play everyone get bored after a few games with one. this leads to inconsistencies and adjustment periods.

 

[Che_Lab]

i don't know. seems like you could get away with crouch canceling his forward tilt at lower percentages
dont quote me on this though
but yea obviously like his forward air would be way too intense
because its THE PUNCH

 

[Cosmo!]

this imo

 

[S l o X]

Camping as Kirby with Fox laser is WIN.
