  • Its been a long time mystic. Remember me? We played on smash ladder a few months back when Smash 4 just came out.

    Interesting question. I personally don't think it's a bad thing though. It basically means that set-ups into kill confirms are much more important, and for the most part every character has something like that, but it's percent dependent. I somewhat like how it works out because the player who takes the stock lead can snowball it with rage on their side.

    If you're looking into something more consistent, then Melee and Project M have it down almost correctly. However, they're much more momentum-based, and you trade off making reads and set-ups into a heavy emphasis on tech-chasing and exploiting characters in a disadvantaged state. The percent (and stock) leads become much more volatile in a way because all it takes is a few mistakes to throw a game.

    I suppose it goes both ways. The reason this game is so strange is because movement wise it is relatively fast, but the pace of the match itself can stretch it seems. It's almost like you got Melee, and just increased the blastzones without messing with the other physics at all. Of course you can't compare it to melee, but you know what I'm getting around to.
    Just played the best Samus I've seen via for glory... Still 80:20. He did some interesting things to make space and got some charge shots in... But pellets man...

    Yeah, I'd love to. Umm... I want to say Wednesday or Thursday night are the only times that I'll be free this week, if that would work for you. I don't think I'll be home for the majority of this weekend. Otherwise we can figure out another day/time.

    This is fine actually. I'm available both nights, so just give a shout-out whenever you're available. Hopefully I can prove myself wrong and make this not 80:20. Haha.

    No! I was going to make a surprise post with our matches on Monday after people decided it was closer to even. You ruuuinnned it.

    Haha it's fine.
    Go back to Marina avatars imo. 10x better.

    She'll come back when I find a decent batch of them. They're extremely rare and I prefer to cycle through avis.
    I can't say this in front of A2Z but I think that Mario is top 5.

    ahaha

    Oh, nor do I, but I believe his reasons for ranking Normal (no customs) Mario so low I find to be...rather unwieldly and untrue. A variance of opinion is bound to be present in a game like this though.

    My opinion on Mario still stands, customs on solid Top 15-10 range. Results may sway me either way. Dunno!
    HeroMystic
    HeroMystic
    I respect A2Z's opinion, I just find his argumentative attitude tiring, to the point where I have yet to have a meaningful discussion behind Mario's real viability even though I do want to get that conversation done at some point.

    My updated opinion after using customs Mario in several tournaments: he still loses to Diddy. The up-throw stuff is too potent. imo, doesn't lose to anyone else in the game, except maybe DK (Kong Cyclone) and Shulk (Power Vision).
    Good news! This Friday night might be a good time for the WiFi Friendlies (hope my internet is good LOL)! Keep in mind they're friendlies by every stretch (customs on, I play serious but not like, SUPER DUPER serious) and I'll probably experiment with my secondaries a lot, but it's looking workable atm.
    HeroMystic
    HeroMystic
    Oh customs? Sure, I'm game for that.
    TTTTTsd
    TTTTTsd
    Yeah I practice with and without customs because my senses tell me eventually the game is going to accept customs meta at some point in its lifespan, not due to balance issues but at some point it will be logistically reasonable and I can see people wanting to experiment. Plus it makes Doc as good as Mario IMO with Fast Pills.
    It's really kind of funny to see "Character Competitive Impressions" turn into "Mario Competitive Impressions: One guy saying he's bad" lol. Also I'll add your NNID when I'm more free, I'm just relaxing and doing University junk that I actually have to do (responsibilities suck)

    Unfortunately he hasn't PM'd me yet. Not sure if he will.

    You can add me whenever. There's no rush.
    Ey we've blabbed back and forth a good deal, we should play a set online (praying my internet holds up) Can I add your NNID and we can organize it sometime? I'm pretty free (this university semester is p. easy)

    Oh I can't tonight, sorry! But I mean, I'll add you and we'll plan this out later cause right now Uni is a LITTLE busy (just gotta write a quick letter and stuff nothing major!) but it should be fun! Doc vs. Mario is a super cool MU
    HeroMystic
    HeroMystic
    No problem then. Just let me know when you're available. My best times are during mornings and evenings.
    Hey-ho! Grats on becoming a mod (I assume it's for the Mario boards but it could be general I still have no idea how this site works and I've been here for a year, bodied) If it is, Imma keep at it cause the Doc boards need a super active SAVIOR (or something)
    It's amusing to read back on profile posts and notice so many people posted during my year away from Smashboards.

    No its just that when i have it on or on sleep for too long, it starts to get SUPER laggy, and odd. If i restarted /reboot it just ...updates??? I guess? Either way takes a long ass time start up and get LOUDXD I have to wait til tomarrow i suppose lmao

    My computer is a monster of a mess at times but i love it^^

    That's strange. If you PM me your computer specs I can probably figure out why it gets laggy.

    Which characters are you having trouble with? I've been playing him since 3DS (Day One) and I could probably give you some level of input as a basis.

    I made a post on the Doc social thread. Namely, Megaman and Rosalina. Ike hurts a slight bit but I can handle him with Doc decently.

    I responded in social thread with my honest thoughts. Megaman is just you making him commit by annoying him, and Rosalina is, well, special.
    Getting a lot better at this game.

    No, I often practice with subbers in NAKAT's stream, or friends I meet in tours. I never heard of that cite, I will go check it out!
    I don't have the heart to tell A2Z he's stuck in Brawl land with this game....I just don't. I don't think he's not smart but this game's meta is so god damned different I just....

    Eugh, I said all I had to say in the thread.

    The thing about A2Z is he's very theorycraft heavy. It's hard for many people to take him seriously, but the ones who do are the ones who are ill-informed in the first place

    Regardless of how good or bad Mario is, I'm still going to play him in tourney, and I won't be satisfied until I can tap his potential to the very limit, so A2Z's words doesn't affect me because I know his knowledge is minimal at best.

    The more I play Mario the more I enjoy him, and even though he can be difficult to master, I feel I will get much reward out of it, both on an external level and personal level. It's what I did in Brawl and that's what I plan to do here.
    Eyyyy I did a vid on Dair -> Fair and dumped some more info out about it! Never saw stuff like this documented in the Mario boards so I took some initiative! Low quality tho (I'll fix that with later stuff)

    Figured you'd be interested since you main/sub Mario and you're fairly active on the boards.

    "If you're fighting a heavy character, Down Throw is a bad idea" is perhaps the most important thing to note of for all high level Mario players thus far.

    The video is wonderful and I would suggest putting it on the Metagame Thread as a point for discussion. @6:30 is something everyone should take note of, especially incoming new players that want to look into Mario.

    Added it to the meta thread + additional thoughts and more info dump. Basically I think Mario's mid % is super super flexible but his low % is a rough start in comparison. He lacks flexible KO options but rage and good reads can omit that to some extent, I think FLUDD is really big, crucial to his kit in this game.
    You going to Tofer's PikNik2? It's this Saturday. Details are in the SA Thread.
    Nike's also hosting a tournament the Saturday after Tofer's event.

    Try going to one or the other. :)
    My "Let's Play" Channel (click)

    Just wanted to let you know about my Let's Play series I've got going on. Basically, I play blind playthroughs of video games you guys request and that's it. :bee:

    I'm currently playing Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) and Yoshi's Island (SNES) and I've already finished a Mega Man 10 (Wii) LP as well.

    Just want to invite you in on the fun if you haven't heard about it. If you like the videos definitely SUBSCRIBE to my channel and post on my wall so we can discuss what other kinds of games you'd like to watch me play!

    Thanks for the support. Spread the word! :cool:
    I forgot to wish you Happy Birthday :(.

    Happy belated birthday though, hope you had a good one :).
    I'm on every day, lurking the boards. Tony takes a jab at me any chance he can get, so I'd rather avoid the conflict. How have you been lately?
    Alright, sweet.

    Well you could look at all the stages or just Castle Siege, you don't have to do all stages in one sitting though :), up to you.
    Hey if you get the time, can you look over my stage thread, and help with me fixes and such?

    :).
    Yeah, I was admitted a few days ago.

    Well, whenever you ARE able to finally get into the community, you can contact me here: 210-454-5316
    Hey, mind PMing me your number?
    If you wanted to get involved with the SA scene sometime soon, I could notify you whenever the group decides to host a Smashfest or whatnot, at the very least.
