Rolla tournaments are great. You always end up feeling like a badass even though you're usually the big fish in a small pond.

how much? if it's like a dollar or two then ofc i won't back down but if it's some obscene amount then i'd have to have enough in case i lose them all
nothing's worse than when someone MM's you, loses, and then says "well i didn't expect to lose so i didn't have the $ on me... i owe you then" or something.

idk i'd rather be falcon in the mu to be honest. and if the falcon is playing properly it's not that easy.
Well, the best person I've ever played in melee was darkrain and it was difficult. But people around my skill level seem to be pretty easy for me.

Any tips for the matchup?

entry fee would be tight

might come anyway though. 2 hr drive for me = in my operational range
bring St. Louis

since Springfield & Columbia are coming to this, there will be an entry fee.

Shiek vs. Falcon is usually *not* in falcon's favor.
Shiek can DI down and away then airdodge to get out of dthrow>knee.

While they both have highly vulnerable recoveries, falcon's is slightly moreso since he can't sweetspot the ledge.

It's a free
lol.

Dthrow actually works pretty great at higher %s for knee setups.
You can also use it to chase stomps.

Uthrow works but the DI options for the opponent are more numerous.
It is still a great setup for knee (in hindsight i suppose it is also what I meant, since dthrow>knee is the default setup in my brain).

Watch how often Darkrain uses uthrow vs shieks.

Alright, so if I am feeling generous enough. I will buy every entrant in Melee singles 2 pizza slices.

Like? Dislike?

Saffy you are too kind. However, I can't accept anything else from you so I'm going to have to pass on the pizza. If you bring some I'll happily purchase a couple or three slices.

Next time, it would be cool to have more notice before the tournament. As long as I'm able to ask off, I should be able to show up.
