No worries bro, I'll play u again eventually, but the stuff I need to learn is more fundamental than the samus matchup (maybe I worded my first post poorly - I am really, really new to melee), so if I'm gonna play, it's better to do it at tim's when I can hog a tv.

Oh yeah? I can always help you out if you need it. I'm not the best here but I'm pretty good. If I seemed to be bragging, I apologise. I'd like to play you though, I like playing lots of different people.

Just so everyone knows... if any of this information becomes obsolete due to metagame changes during my absence, PM me explaining after discussing it here or something.

Thanks.

I tend to look at all of these "help guides" like the Bible.

It is really old texts written by some knowledgeable people. If you take them literally, then you might end up ****ing yourself. If you get the gist and overall idea of it, you can't go wrong.

Or, at least, that's just the way I see it. Or something like that.

Knowing you only play Samus, if we end up playing in tournament I will be sure to go my old main on you, my last one before Samus. I will give you a hint, the Character has the WORST Down-B in the game, unless you're DarkMusician.:laugh:

But for friendlies practicing Samus ditto's sounds okay. =P

Yeah thanks man, you too. I should practice my floaty game before the next tournament so we can have better ditto's. same thing with Chocolatethunda, he knows I am better then him but our matches are noob cause my floaty game is poor.

How ever I do perform well on fast fallers, but I should rely less on my secondarys for double blind situations, and also for Samus bragging rights. Against Wilfred i beat him 7:2 but those matches, i was not Samus, I went fox. ;)
Lol keep it up though, we will have better matches next time! Coming for Feb 27th?

I love Metroid Metal as well. : D Stemage is sooooo good.

Also, I like Samus, but it seems I'm not.. Patient enough for her. I like to jump around and get to my opponents quickly, not be floaty. Haha. Although the case would be the same with Luigi, but I just wavedash with him because its fun to wavedash with him.

Wait I just noticed something. Maybe I SHOULDN'T jump as Samus. xDD [Well, often I guess]

Yeah I'm sure the cop will buy that excuse. "Dude she was asking for it! I mean, she ****ing jumped, that's like an open invitation right there!"
Exactly! Very true in the court of law. Can't **** the willing now can you?:laugh:

Pikachu has lcancels and a Quick Attack =D
Quick attack Cancle? OMG SOUNDS LIKE ITS LEADING TO BRAWL....end that before it gets to far.

Actually you asking that sort of landed it close to leading to brawl, because now I am pondering "Theres a quick attack cancel in brawl? lol wut?"

Haha. Good one tho, Bun bun. But nah, I'm satisfied enough with my lcancels in melee. :3

AIDS... I hope you decide to team with me afterall.
I'm looking forward to double Samus
Very Likely, you better bring your game son! I am back up to par as I was before so I expect a fun, well performed Samus ***** team. But you must pass the test to join me in doubles son!
....Think of a cool team name for this Double Samus team. (others, feel free to suggest) :laugh:

If this was like facebook, I would like this post.
do you or aids have any tournament videos?
i'm curious
I have a phew matches posted but they are SO OLD!! I tied with noobking in 7th place at the last tournament I went to. I will try to get some good stuff recorded at this tournament though on April 3rd, I am just coming out of a 6 month + retirement and I am almost back up to my level before I quit, so I expect to do better this tournament and also there is a huge one on May 15th/16th with a ton of "Maybes" from some high level players like m2k, dashizwiz, etc. Look it up. in BC, Canada at SFU(Burnaby) on May 15th and 16th. Had a cool name like "Canada plays melee, not Brawl" or something like that! :laugh:

AIDS bro we gotta get our team matches recorded! I got a splitter, but I don't have a recording device, so hopefully someone else does if you don't.


EVERYONE THINK OF A NAME :chuckle:

I use Y too.
Just fire the first missile as soon as you can. Focus less on the timing of the second one, because it's just a normal MC. Just get the first one out there.
When I first started to try Double Missiling it was really tricky, but as soon as I got the pattern it's cake. I don't think I've messed up a double missile in like 3 years.
