The sexual intercouse we had is starting to fade from my memory.

If we meet again at GT2 you have to show what made me think you were the best for you to be back on good terms with me.

Lol great turnout.

Was still fun though. GG's Deathgazer, Bish and fandemz. Deathgazer you were much better then I remember you to be in our london monthly bracket. Craazyy technical, I feel I learnt a fair bit playing with you. Also fox is lol.

I wonder if its worth picking up a starfox character to improve my technical skills? Can't help but feel thats needed to give me the improvement i need. I guess its time to checkout the falco forums...

I've just discovered something hilarious. Go onto the videos from the last monthly and use the new transcribe audio function added on youtube. The results are pretty cool.

"he added against all the leaves will be let's say about"

"no it's not a picnic" LOL

"I want to ask you finally what you say you know the truth who yes the vote would probably be the reason our studies done on thin ice, say again"


frostbyte has gone shiek, out of his collection of characters quote or whatever lol

"frost let's don't see, out of his thoughts are of taxes vote" ahaha

Tips = tapes

frostbyte vs chrisboi 1:25 - 1:35 is pretty accurate ROFL and 2:45 onwards on that match is just too funny too

SPACING = SPACE SUIT

there are some moments of accuracy, but most of it is what you just listed above and is pretty hilarious.

KUDOS TO THE HAPPIEST SMASHER OF ALL TIME FOR I HAVE FINISHED ALL MY WORK!!

I am keeping a very minor secret that will ensure great improvement by the time of GT2. I will be ready, 100x more ready than i was last tournament and i placed reasonably well.

I want to hit every smashfest between now and then, was seriously slacking in terms of playing anybody outside my immediate friend group who are all sooo 4stockable if you put in any effort. No edgehogging or deep edgeguarding, they are all ******* =/

@Flycondor: we had some GGs, try to not follow the same patterns when you tech like If I Dthrow you near the end of the stage and wavedash back, you always seemed to roll the opposite direction into the edge of the stage so I could easily usmash you. When getting waveshined, try to DI away and add some random crouch cancels in to put them off, that way its harder to predict how far the person needs to waveshine.

At low percentages against floaties with shiek, you could Dthrow => jab and grab them again or even Dthrow=>jab=>Dtilt=>jab and try to grab them again. Also try to mix up nairs and fairs in aerials, I noticed you used fairs alot of the time, nair stays out for longer and has a larger reach. you could SH nair=>Dtilt and jab.

For edge guarding against spacies, I usually use Dtilt near the edge if theyre below/parallel to the stage or drop down=> jump nair but make sure you time it right.


@Bishkin: Same with you with reacting to techs and stuff, sometimes you can roll away and time a jab because when you rol, they are most likely to grab or do a dashing attack. your tech skill keeps improving and thats good, when you wavedash/waveshine wit hfox, try to use the tip of the index finger/nail part to press R to press the button faster, but with falco use normal timing.

With shield pressuring with falco, practice shield pressuring with aerial=>shine=>aerial instead of waveshining because falcos waveshining pressure is quite slow. I hardly use shinegrabs but they can be quite useful at times.
for fox, you can just keep waveshining back and forth if you can do it quick enough but try to predict which direction theyl go bearing in mind the position you are on the stage, the way you are facing and if there are platforms nearby.

when the opponent is above you on a platform (even when theyre shielding) try to do that jump nair so the nair comes out straight away, (Y with the tip of your thumb and A with the middle part) practice getting the timing right because you can still hit them whil theyre shielding if you attack from underneath. Otherwise you could spot waveshine onto the platform into a grab and Dthrow and wait for them to react.

With retreating lasering, try to think of it as 'dragging' the momentum so you SH and hold the direction, flick it in hte opposite direction at the last moment and press B to get long distance lasering.

Thats all I remember for now lol looking forward to playing you guys soon.

@j3ly: are you planning to have a Tescos smashfest at yours on the GT2friday?

I don't think jab > dtilt > jab works on lower percents. 99% of the time the best option for Sheik's tech chase is a regrab. When they get to a higher % they can ASDI your Jab resets or buffer rolls/a get-up attack from a jab reset. However, around this % other viable combo moves can be used without being cc'd. Dash attack, usmash and ftilt (this needs to be 100% fresh iirc) are good examples.

Yeah I've heard that also works, I think you can get another dsmash from it or a grab. Not too sure though since I don't do that much.
