(」・ω・)」 MARS la Marf in Smash 4 (／・ω・)／

[Nike.]

Neo, check your PMs

 

[-Jumpman-]

Ramin, aggro marth is HARD.

 

[En.Ee.Oh]

Ramin, aggro marth is HARD.

Nike I'll do it.

IMO aggroing in general is harder over here. I'm not going to start any US v. EU debates, but Orion can attest to players over here being hell bent on making you travel to the end of the earth just to get a hit in, lead or no lead. It's such a ****ing headache it's no wonder why people switch to MK just to set themselves apart from such strategies.

 

[Nike.]

Sweet, Neo

So guys, vids of me from Nikefest4 are uploaded.

Round | Players/Characters | Matches

Winners Round 3|Nike :marthbrawl: vs Gnes :diddybrawl:| [M1] [M2] |

Gnes and Dojo ***** me.
Fogo and I both got 17th (really low), so we MM'd for best 17th placer lol. He's ranked above me on the TX PR.
M3K is a new player, mm'd me to get some vids up.

 

[C.J.]

Nike, I hate you. I barely started you vs Kprime and now you give me another 10 to do...

I also hate you for losing game2 vs dojo.

 

[Reizilla]

That Dojo set D:

[20:41] C.J.: What'd you PM to NEO?
[20:42] C.J.: /wants to be part of the cool kids
[20:42] ax2ronsilver: STALKER
[20:42] C.J.: You know
[20:42] C.J.: or it was in the social thread
[20:42] C.J.: <_<
[20:42] C.J.: blasphemy
[20:44] C.J.: /was hoping you convinced him to go super aggro reckless marth or something equally entertaining

[21:33] clowsui: please tell me you requested neo to play more aggro
[21:33] clowsui: PLEASE
[21:33] clowsui: i mean you pm'd him for a reason but who cares
[21:33] clowsui: I WANNA KNOW >:X
[21:34] clowsui: better have asked neo to play with more commitment

Yooooooooo
You guys are funny.

 

[clowsui]

me and CJ thinkin the same always

 

[Shaya]

I'm confused by this whole situation right now.

I missed something important?
Neo always says he wants to quit brawl

 

[Nike.]

Mr-R's "MM me at Apex" thread: http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=13198223&postcount=62

Hype.

 

[clowsui]

OHHHHH ****TTT

let's go MIKE

USA USA USA

 

[Zano]

yo, lemme know when you have these Marth aim chats already

 

[Shaya]

[13/08/2011 1:22:31 PM] Reizilla: and the updated frame data is in the last page of the old frame data thread, right?
[13/08/2011 1:22:40 PM] RoXaS: Yessir.
[13/08/2011 1:22:50 PM] RoXaS: Well, on the most recent page
[13/08/2011 1:22:54 PM] RoXaS: It's shaya's post
[13/08/2011 1:23:11 PM] RoXaS: Can't miss the wall of text
[13/08/2011 1:23:38 PM] Reizilla: frak, it's all weird though, right?
[13/08/2011 1:23:47 PM] RoXaS: I think so.
[13/08/2011 1:23:48 PM] Reizilla: like has a bunch of stuff i don't know what's going on
[13/08/2011 1:23:59 PM] RoXaS: He never put it in the correct format.
[13/08/2011 1:24:02 PM] RoXaS: =/
[13/08/2011 1:24:44 PM] Reizilla: someone commission a custom madoka pic in exchange for proper formatting xD

Sounds like an amazing idea.

 

[Lord Chair]

how are people capable of doing ~50 MMs at a tournament without having it influence their placing? :X

 

[En.Ee.Oh]

that's the thing, it probably will. but if ramin's good enough it won't even matter because he'll be going home with a ****ton of money regardless

 

[En.Ee.Oh]

I'm confused by this whole situation right now.

I missed something important?
Neo always says he wants to quit brawl

this time is diff, i never worked as hard to improve before as i have recently, only to get walled out and essentially lose to the same strategy twice

im 25 and been playing smash competitively since i was 16

if i'm no longer competing and benefiting from it, it's time to hang it up. i stress myself out enough on a daily basis to have any additional stress from not succeeding in a game so simple

 

[Player-3]

just waltzing in here to say that Bastion is one of the best games ever


p3 out

 

[ADHD]

Neo ur ugly.

 

[Anaky]

Damn Nike you get to play BARE Brawl over there, the UK is fricken Brawl dead now, i wanna play every week!!!

 

[∫unk]

i don't think neo is quitting because neo isn't a quitter

 

[En.Ee.Oh]

i don't think neo is quitting because neo isn't a quitter

apparently you don't know me very well

 

[Reizilla]

I think Neo is quitting because Neo is a quitter?

 

[Lord Chair]

europe is more fun because we dont have tournaments every weekend and therefor actually try to enjoy the ones we go to

lool

 

[KillLock]

sounds like canada

lool

 

[Nike.]

Texas is too spread out. We're the size of East Coast, but we have like 5 cities/regions compared to their 5769036546754674. So we're kinda forced to host alot.

 

[_Kadaj_]

I think a collaborative effort between Mike, You and Me could change some things. Actually a lot of things..

 

[Shaya]

I understand neo's position. I've talked to him about this so many times and he's completely justified in wanting to quit.

The question for him is whether he can break through:
if he can, is it worth trying?
if he can't, why am I trying?

So uh, I wanna pick up marth. Partially because I wanna show that it's not just MK, partially because I am just sick to death of dealing with falco as MK, and partially because I'm scared of the "ban MK" movement rising up in germany. Where should I start? How do you learn this character?

 

[∫unk]

you really don't lose a lot of skill from playing infrequently, and if you ever don't want to play... who cares? don't play. not a big deal either way.

do what makes you happy, because pretending only ****s you in the ***

Don't. Your MK relies on knowing matchups instead of actually making reads, playing Marth would completely **** up your game. Choose a character that can win matches by playing the matchup correctly.

Marth is incredibly hard to learn, the only easy matchup is Snake.

*usual disclaimers about me being bad here, but you probably knew that*

The start is tippering _everything_. Just play with him a while and watch vids, read the stickies etc. Play defensively first as it's easy to get predictable as an aggro Marth.

Define "**** up". Wouldn't improving my ability to make reads up my game? And I want to learn marth because virtually none of the other top tiers appeal to me.

 

[Reizilla]

Read the guide I haven't made yet.

I shoulda been more specific: you would place even lower.

 

[Reizilla]

Hopefully, I'll have it up by next Friday.

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

Yes, because I'll be going marth in the bracket before I'm comfortable using the character.

How about some real advice?

 

[Player-3]

space better

Comfortable =/= good.

Also guys, Ramin got good by doing mindgamezz. No spacing, just mindgames.
