The Battle for Power! (Matchmaking & Video Thread)

[Koskinator]

@A2ZOMG and myself had a little session of Ganon vs Link, went pretty even. A small excerpt

 

[Slack is Love]

Umebura Genesis Cup
Loser's Round 2
Salena (MK) vs Pon (Ganon)

Game 2 is every Ganon's nightmare.

I like the way that Ganon uses empty jumps in neutral. It reminds me to do them more as well, it's one of those things I'll remember only occasionally is useful to bait people. That second game though, oh man that's painful to watch. I wonder if good DI would even help get out of that or we're just screwed. Nair probably isn't fast enough :/

 

[| Kailex |]

I always ban duck hunt and FD as ganon, ive suffered against a campy custom rosa on duck hunt, never again.

 

[Z1GMA]

I tried out the Youtube Uploader for the first time.
Here's a 2on2 where I team up with Tonsana's Mac.

Karoegu (Pikachu) vs Ken (Ganon)

I feel this match was way too good to be round 1. This is that same Pikachu from that crazy awesome Japanese Pikachu (and Megaman) vs Ganon match last year. This is the first time I've seen him since then, it seems he still has a Ganon problem.

Ken (Ganon) vs Shi-ma (T. Link)

FD versus Toon Link seems like a complete nightmare. I can't believe he took him back there for game 3.

 

[Gold_TSG]

Anyone wanna play? I'm off of work and I got time.

 

[HeavyLobster]

Got a brand new montage to post here. Hope you enjoy it.

I used the aerudo dsmash tech a lot this tourney, it's awesome.

 

[Nintenbro_Zeke]

moofpi Wow, he camped that spot and knew. Weather some want to call it using your environment or stages to an advantage, thats a super cheap tactic.

 

[Koskinator]

Im sure you guys are getting sick of seeing jmanup85 perform horribly..

Ah **** what am I sayin it'll never get old! Feast your eyes friends!

 

[Gold_TSG]

"Destroyed" isn't even good enough for what that was.

 

[jmanup85]

Koskinator is a huge fan of the shadow realm. Deotay can appreciate this

 

[Koskinator]

Nice ganoncides jman you are really improving

 

[Deotay]

Lol, not the kind of Ganoncides I usually go for but entertaining none-the-less.

 

[Gold_TSG]

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me thrice, WELLP.

 

[Garioshi]

now do you love me daddy

 

[Gold_TSG]

I'd like to challenge jmanup85 or Koskinator if they are available at some point in the future.

In about an hour is a crew battle, I'm the last one up. After that is singles where I intend to take 1st.

 

[Koskinator]

jmanup85 you wanna take the first crack at Gold_TSG ?

 

[jmanup85]

jmanup85 you wanna take the first crack at Gold_TSG ?

I don't mind. After I'm done destroying him you can pick up the lifeless husk of his corpse and have your fun Koskinator . Gold_TSG my nnid is jmanup85

 

[Gold_TSG]

Just got home from work. Gonna shower real quick and hop on.

EDIT: request sent jmanup85

 

[jmanup85]

I can only play for about 20 minutes but ok.

 

[Gold_TSG]

Any amount of time is fine with me.

 

[Gold_TSG]

That was a ton of fun jman. My Dorf needs work with spacing, I think.

You knew the ditto well enough but I can't comment on your other match ups. I did better vs ROB than I thought I would but I still hate that guy. Your spacing could use some work and there were times when you got a bit predictable in your approach. You definitely know what you're doing though which was nice lol.

 

[Gold_TSG]

Improvement is the fun of the game to me. I've always been kinda bad with Flame Choke follow ups, which disappoints me, but that just shows I need more work. You're definitely the better Dorf, but I don't think I'm too far off.

 

[Z1GMA]

Might as well post it here too:

Happy murdering, everyone !

 

[Koskinator]

Gold_TSG you available?

 

[Deotay]

Fought Marss, got bodied, help.

I know some of the more obvious things I did wrong but still, I'm pretty bad against any ZSS.

He did try to Ganon ditto me game 2. I was doing alright but then he Rock Crock'ed me and I was pretty shaken during my second stock.

Anyways, what should have I been trying to do during neutral?

Also me vs. a Fox in the same tournament if anyone's interested.

Spoiler: Fox Game

 

[jmanup85]

Deotay I watched your matches and I'll comment. First of all, stop wearing lame sweaters. That sweater is bottom tier trash and it should be discarded asap. But more importantly I'll comment on the Fox match. Honestly the only thing I didn't like was that when you used Bair a lot of the time you'd FF it and you'd get landing lag. Against Fox he can wreck you if you do that too much so try to SHFF AC Bair more, you'd still hit Fox and it's safer.

 

[Koskinator]

Yeah holy **** deo that sweater is atrocious, leave this place until that sweater is disposed of

 

[Gold_TSG]

Koskinator I am available right now if you're still interested.

 

[jmanup85]

Koskinator I am available right now if you're still interested.

He said to add the nnid David33. He'll play you

**** you guys, it's a hoodie and it's comfortable as ****.

Also for the B-Airs, those were supposed to be baits to get an F-Tilt after or a Flame Choke if he ran up and shielded it. But yeah, I do need to get more comfortable with SHFF AC'ing.

It's because of that loser sweater mentality that you aren't winning tourneys. As a friend I'm telling you that that sweater/hoodie/abomination to all life, is worse than the bottom of bottom tier. Also we discussed it in the chat and we figured out you're a closet Yankees fan. You scrub.

 

[Koskinator]

Ggs Gold, server maintnence ftw lol

 

[Gold_TSG]

That maintenance timing is amazing...

My Dorf needs a lot of work. Half the time I don't know how to deal with his spacing tools in the ditto because of my lack of experience against more skilled Dorf players. I have my moments, but that seems to be pretty uncommon.

You're still a good player though, just work on your bad approaches and your spacing. Also start to ledge trump more. Kosk never really does it but it's something that will help you in quite a number of match ups.

 

[Gold_TSG]

I wish I had more people to actively practice this stuff with, cause FG sure ain't the place to go.

EDIT: Oh hey the servers are back up.
