that messed you up, even though he GAVE you opportunities to beat him? Also, maybe you were a little mislead with the given opportunities... it's like this, I always punched. Then I played a peach that always got punched by me, even from the ledge. OMG that was the best peach fight ever for me. xD (in florida) but that should NOT have happened. even though he gave you big openings, he did something to you that messed you up.
Also, what do you REALLY want out of a tournament placing? to WIN and get the prize, or for people knowing that you are good and liking you?
I want to be GOOD, and i'm sure people wouldn't like me much as being a doc player (people think doc is annoying, heh). You just have to work THAT much harder (I know you worked a ton just by knowing EVERYTHING about ice climbers, and I'd like to learn some about them myself, they are so fun to play, and thank you for telling me about the shortwd to longwd thing.. I now will intergrate that into my game, thanks to you. : D
