[T-block]

Actually, that vid is a collection of unorganized thoughts and inaccurate statements. It's been a while since I've watched it though.

 

[MeSSi]

i posted it cuz it favors me lol

gimme a break

this game sucks without mk

 

[Alphicans]

I am not down for having MK banned forever, but I think the ban will actually help all those MK mains who don't know much about the game (looking at the twins) really improve and learn. If I host something I'll likely have MK legal.

yeah. give him back MK so he can beat me in pools and I can beat him in bracket instead.

 

[MeSSi]

lol i dont care about pools.. does anybody?
i hard sandbag in pools/ harsh smacktalk

 

[Alphicans]

You guys pretty much told me at your house you don't know THAT much about the game. Obviously you guys know stuff (for reasons you just gave), but clearly there is a lot more to learn. Other characters force you to read into situations you might not have thought about by just using MK. Like my MK has been called "weird" but it gets **** done in pretty much every match-up except for MK dittos because I essentially use tricks I know from all the other characters I play.

Just my take on things. I am sure MK will be back soon though.

 

[Frio]

Lulz give me a break. The only ones who know **** about this game is probs Luke and Jack and they're the ones you can't beat. Maybe Brandon too but he plays sonic. Other than that you're out placing other people who also know nothing.


/Alberta is trash or maybe brawl is trash IDK


Luke . says
there's gonna be a lot of beef now
Mark . says
I spoke the truth
Alberta isnt some amazing pro community
Luke . says
for the record I don't think brandon knows much
except about sonic
Mark . says
I was trying to avoid
drama
>_>
Luke . says
WTF
trying to avoid drama
Mark . says
ima quote u noe
Luke . says
biggest BS i've herad
Mark . says
LOLOLOLO
Luke . says
heard
looool
I wouldn't even be mad

 

[T-block]

There's always room to improve, Alvin. You don't have to be bad to be able to benefit from learning more about the game =\

 

[MeSSi]

well like **** i dont know as much as luke/jack do but i do know some stuff.

lol luke. u know that i play basically every high tier in this game and therefore have probs explored those "situations" .

the only reason y i play other chars like snake, falco, wario, olimar (recently), diddy against u and jack is so that i might find some flaws in yur guys' game that i couldnt see before. ( it was exposed cuz of yur guys' approach to my new char)

yur basically telling me to learn the game more by playing new characters... but i have been doing that for awhile now.

and yea no beef mark lol, just discussion cuz i am really bored and cant sleep

 

[Frio]

Now that I'm thinking about it I think it's just me hating on brawl and how there isn't even that much to know in the first place.

EDIT: Lulz just saw Brandon's horribly bad mannered post. I don't nkow how he gets away with that.

 

[MeSSi]

yea i guess yur right mike, but i feel that i have hit a brick wall with my development and finding new ways to improve myself.

and it doesnt help when my main is gone, not just here but everywhere./ blahblah crymeariver

lol mark

edit: brandon's just mad that he isnt canada's aura blue lolol

 

[Alphicans]

Lol AB beef all over.

 

[T-block]

Brandon just needs to feel good about himself sometimes, kay? Lay off him gawd

If I had to sum up Brawl in one statement, I'd say it's fundamentally about knowing your options. And with that alone, there's already a lot to learn. I don't know how you perceive the game right now, but if you switch perspectives to training yourself to know by instinct what your options are in any given situation in any given matchup, you might see improvement.

I dunno... any time I noticeably improved, it was because of a perspective switch.

your guys' drama. not mine. i ain't even mad. lol

 

[Alphicans]

Just to add on: it's about knowing all of your options in any given scenario AS they come up. None of us in AB are really that great at doing that because I know I still have "set" approaches or "set" follow-ups that I use all the time, and I know Jack does the same thing too. If you can train yourself never to auto pilot, then you're a good player.

 

[Frio]

Mike is my hero LOL

But I can see where you're coming from actually. When I started Olimar I felt like I changed perspectives. I wasn't focusing on my own actions anymore, I started to focus on my opponents actions more. That was probably the last improvement I've made lulz.

EDIT: doesn't matter if you're mad or not Brandon you say a lot of bad mannered ****. Might be unintentional but w.e

Also who coined the Alberta beef phrase? Anyone remember?

 

[Kuraudo]

Bad mannered as in talking about wanting to beat Alvin in bracket?

I'm asking honestly here because if you think this is a problem, unintentional or not then I'll try to be more aware about it. (for this and anything I may say)

Forget who coined the term but it's the greatest thing ever.

Alvin if you want to improve after you've hit a brick wall, as Mike said you have to have a perspective change. I always find that change when I play Wifi, because of all the varied play-styles out there that you have to deal with. It's rare that I find it offline because our community is so small and I'm used to the way you all play, it's not good enough to improve as a player for me anymore.

The fact that you can pick up the controller any time and find an opponent is always beneficial if you're in the mood for improving, you just have to be tolerant with it(Keep in mind some of the best players are Wifi players). Also the more time you put into something the better you'll be at your trade, sort of speak. I'm sure me and Luke play a lot more than anyone here(Though I haven't been playing at all lately because of Skyrim booooyaaahhh).

Not sure if I told you guys this(@twins) but I think MK being banned is the best thing that could of happened to you guys. It makes you think in different ways, as a result you'll be a much broader and smarter player instead of a one-trick-pony sort of deal(No offense intended homies). This will help you think more "outside the box" I believe.

Just give it time, people naturally hate change but I find that once you get comfortable with it you'll find the game much better then before. If MK is ever unbanned you'll keep those necessary skills and be infinitely better MK mains.

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I know Blazblue and SSBB are different games but the reason I got good at Blazblue is because I logged in over 15000 games online. I know online might have some lag, and at times you might be screwed over by such lag, but at the end of the day its opening you up to a lot of different styles of play and ultimately getting you better overall at the game.

Also when I picked up MK, I got a lot better at the game fast. My placements in tournies also when up. You can say that I was being carried by MK or that MK isn't teaching you much, but at the end of the day your logging in those games to become a better player. As long as you have an open mind about the situation and take every situation one step at a time it really doesn't matter to much what character you use (I know there are some exceptions but you get my point)

Just my 2 cents

Kyle's MK was just completely broken

Normally I'd agree with you for online play benefiting you, but not when the delay is so high for online. High delay online play is beneficial at low or even mid level play, but when you start to get to high levels of delay of about 7 frames or higher(maybe even 5), you start to play a whole different game that doesn't really correlate with normal offline smash, essentially it turns into fake smash.

I've played in 8 frames of delay for years way back in the day, and well...I was stupid bad when it came back to trying to display my online "skills" to console. This wasn't a delay problem thing either, it's just that low delay situations occur much more often.

im going to main lucario next monthly... luke is probably laughing at me

better read up on the match guys.... aura blue is HERE!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

 

[lilseph]

were not fighting LOL

EDIT: I'm going to sig that Mike :D

 

[MeSSi]

o gawd wifi...

maybe i will give it a shot.

when is Keith/hensels coming back?

 

[Limeee]

ITT: extreme theorycraft
and keith/hensels are already back, have been since sunday

pretty sure that im the highest placing player in AB that doesn't know anything about this game and relys on tricks (shuttle loop, snake), but it doesn't matter i probably wont take this game seriously again until mk is unbanned

 

[T-block]

There was basically zero theorycraft, Jamie.

 

[ChaosDrifter]

pretty sure that im the highest placing player in AB that doesn't know anything about this game and relys on tricks (shuttle loop, snake), but it doesn't matter i probably wont take this game seriously do that well again until mk is unbanned

fixed for you jamie

 

[Limeee]

There definitely was, but I'm not saying its a bad thing. You guys are generalizing the best way to improve when in actuality its different for every individual person. Also brother Mike you dont need to poke fun at me I already poked fun at myself

 

[T-block]

I...offered a potential avenue for improvement?

 

[Frio]

it's so weird to see us actually have a legit discussion about getting better at smash.

 

[lilseph]

Yeah there was no theory crafting here. Just the facts

 

[Yoshara]

Just to let everyone know, I should be able to host this friday, and I will be adding UMvC3 to the list of other games (so far that includes BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, and Melty Blood) seeing as I just picked that up yesterday.

 

[Crusayer]

Teach me how to play marvel stephan :V. I'll be picking it up after the melee tourney this weekend.
