heh, i havent been just lying around Shado. That whole playstyle you saw last time? It isnt a style anymore, nor do i play like that. Its a constant flux of ****, and that's all i'll say.

I just hope it'll actually amount to something...
:(

Sorry Shugo, i didnt know there were two of you...o_O
Well, Shugo (The one who is in our little thread here) is by far the most legit Shugo ever. No johns.

Scourge vs Sonic rematch Speed?
as long as you promise not to sangbag me. and only if you are up to it man. I know you'll prolly outdo me again, but gah, i want you to WANT to play. :(

speed and shado can have thier little match. doesn't matter.
SEGA still owns the both of you.

I've won a doubles tournament I suppose. (a small one at that, but the competition was still tough though)

Oh, and I'm the reason you people don't use D-Throw as much anymore. :(

Let's see, what else have I done besides redeem myself for the tech (sort of)?

No nothing really. Playing Sonic should be its own accomplishment though.

I won a tournament long long ago, and I beat the supposed best ZSS in a match (even tho he beat me later on that tournament) if accomplishment means beating some really good/known player in a match (chudat, overswarm, snakeee, affinity, inui, sethlon, boss, sean) or having someone refer to you in a "whos the best sonic" discussion, I think everyone has done that except kinzer, kojin, tenki, and a couple of the other regulars.

look at teh region im in Kid. Its gonna take me longer automattically to reach noteriaty like that, and Im known anyway as a good sonic player. Plus I concentrate on college. I'm gonna get mine, wait and see.

its not who you beat, its how you play. beating certain players only helps to reinforce the evidence of how you play, but the flaw is that since this game is heavily matchup knowledge dependant, the phrase "i didn't know the matchup" can get easily lodged in a conversation.

predictablility?
tenancies?
playing smart?
offstage game?
matchup knowledge?
What other high level smashers think of your game? (they would be objective hopefully) and how much that opinion is shared, even with people who dont know you as a person that well.

this to me is more important than beating the best of anything, but to go with what i said before having those things will show up as you compete well against and beat top players.

The phrase "its not whether you win or lose, but its how you play the game" sumerizes this perfectly.

Holty's New Year Fest
December 27th
No thread - for a few reasons
England
Out of 16
Placed 1st - Sonic

Was intended to be on 1st Janurary, hence the name "New Year Fest", but most of the others wouldn't have made it as they're doing family stuff etc. Placing 1st is no big deal. The others were mostly casual/monthly attending friends and scrubby MK's and Snakes from college.

Id rather have beaten chudat/sean/!nu! in a set than all that bull crap that kojin said.
lol this

you mentioned his name along with two other regulars here to have not have been including in 'the best Sonics' thread and he overreacts with a bunch of crap. i would've rather have beaten m2k and ally than that bullcrap too. the other two mentioned would just be like 'yep, i agree' or something.

jaybee, keep using your excuses, but k.i.d, espy, rats, __x__, Malcolm, e.t.c are better than you. get over it and be like the other two k.i.d mentioned: 'yeah, i'll improve and put my best effort in at tournys'. not overreact with a bunch of crap at an attempt to cover up your average skill with Sonic...

edit; you're not gonna get much. i'm sorry to say, but you're just an average Sonic, especially when you create a huge bunch of crap than expressing your bad opinions on winning rather than practicing. "it's not who you beat. it's how you play" yeah, it's how you play = play at a pro standard and you might beat other pros like inui, chu, mikehaze etc. i seriously lol'ed at your post. byebye for now, Sonic boards! good luck practicing your average Sonic also jaybee! :D

i guess it is a pretty crappy generic name lol
Aww well now don't put it like that, it's just like how many people in real life have the same first name. There's another person named Jose here who goes to the weekly Vegassmash tourneys, and everytime somebody calls him out, I have to learn to not react because I go by a different alias in these kinds of things.

dang, I thought I was a cold hearted *****, but this wanna be chis ***** just took it to a whole nother level.

and for the record I think not spelling my name right is like a tell tale sign of people that you should probably not pay too much attention to around here, ive noticed that in the last couple of months.

also, lol at his 08 metagame, malcolm isnt a better sonic than anybody, and RATS? lol RATS.

but at least part of what he said has merit. its more important what youve done than what people say about you. people can be mad at overswarm all day and talk mad shiz about him for camping *****s out but hes still payin the bills with those tournament double-yous.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of smashers in my region that would admit to me being a good player, but that doesnt stop me from pulling top 5 in every brawl event and top 8 in every melee event we hold.

speed was always a crazy wild, random, massively offensive sonic, but nobody (not even us) knew/thought he was at that level until he beat chudat in a match

look at espy, he has next to no hard knowledge of the game, he has no idea how to define matchups, and nobody in his own state thought he was worth crap, until he beat the player (mr. 3000) that everybody did think was hott shiz.

sigh... someone misunderstands a post yet again...

in short, i said that if you are a talented person in this game, you will have certain traits, and that then they show themselves in high level competition. in THAT ORDER. Nowhere did i say i was the best anything , or i should be discussed as such you idiot, i said that i was getting better and you'll have to "wait and see". I had to put competative brawl on hold for college, but that wasn't just make an excuse to "protect" myself or something. i probably wouldn't have even brought that up had it not been for kid in the first place. How many tourneys did I go to this year? not many at all. Kid, im not downing you, you know that right?

Again, I dont say Im the best Sonic, not even in my own state, where, I'm like the ONLY SONIC. just ask speed or shado (MD sonics who've seen me play and talked with me extensively) . I let other people's experience seeing me play or playing me IRL determine my standing as a player. So whatever. i practice what I say. and you? you're just a random that doesn't fully read a post before you badmouth someone you know little about. whatever. lol internet. Paix, please go away.

I think Speed and Espy are the best sonic's so far. Not just because of who they beat, but ALSO because of how they play the character. If you still wanna put me down after this go ahead I dont give a crap. you're useless to me anyways.

why pick one when you can play flat agression and beat a meta and than time out a wario the next round?

why choose one style when you can choose to play all of them in the correct circumstances. theres no point to playing aggro against a zelda or a DDD, and theres no point to trying to camp a falco or a toon link (tried it yesterday, dont work...)

do what works and play what wins.

Well, running is Sonic's strongest attribute, you're supposed to use it. run around and look for openings/make openings. And if you're in trouble, just run away, almost always works :chuckle:

I know where you are coming from. you got me pegged. I kinda switch in between matches. It's not as flashy though. the only thing that stays constant is when I get you off the stage I go crazy lol.

back when i didn't know better, i once tried to camp out TKO's falco by dodging all the lasers. that didn't go well. :(

btw, who started that lame spelling for sonic lol?

I feel that there's only so far that speed and mindgames will get you. I just want to see a really gay playstyle that wins.

I think we can all take claim to having beaten top profile players here and there, be they friendlies, MM, or tourney sets. Myself? I've taken matches from people who are respectfully in the Brawl Back Room before, or otherwise well known players; and close matches albeit losing. Here at home, and in other parts of the world. Doesn't make me noteworthy, just one with potential.

It shows we're all competent players, but there will be others who stand out amongst the rest due to trying harder. As simple and stupid as it sounds? Just try harder.

That's all there is to it.

[EDIT]

In the end, all of that skill matters not unless you are consistent.

You guys post alot. This is what i get for being so slow. ;-;

edit; you're not gonna get much. i'm sorry to say, but you're just an average Sonic, especially when you create a huge bunch of crap than expressing your bad opinions on winning rather than practicing. "it's not who you beat. it's how you play" yeah, it's how you play = play at a pro standard and you might beat other pros like inui, chu, mikehaze etc. i seriously lol'ed at your post. byebye for now, Sonic boards! good luck practicing your average Sonic also jaybee! :D
...Kojin is a very good Sonic. :s
What do you mean he creates a huge bunch of crap? Kojin does ALOT of experimenting, man. This guy doesnt afraid of anything and is pulling off amazing stuff with Sonic. Sure, it can get frustrating that some of the things you work so hard on doesnt amount to much, but Kojin gets right back up and steps his game up. I just hope im not misunderstanding your post. :dizzy:

dang, I thought I was a cold hearted *****, but this wanna be chis ***** just took it to a whole nother level.

True man. Beating pros are no small feature, and even if you have to camp hardcore/time them out, its still beating them, and no one can take that away from you. IMO, I really think you guys are really good players. KID, i see you gettin busy with Lucario, and that Sonic is looking good. Yeah, im wild and crazy, imo im working on being more random and not overly offensive. I didnt know I could really beat him either, but I still need to do better. I sometimes put myself down just to force myself to do better. :dizzy: Espy is ****, that is all.

I still know nothing about MUs. :D

Doesn't stop me from winning sets against tops in my state.
I just try really, really hard.
You're Espy, you just **** in general. :p

Its obvious that Speed is dabes Sawnik evarz. FIRST HES GOING TO NEW JERSEY TO BEAT ATOMSK THEN OHIO TO TAKE DOWN M2K. AND THEN THE WHITEHOUSE! YADAAA

lolol. I wish i was teh goodz at tis gaem. I beated Azen's Lucario. Then got called a scrub sawnik frm Kitamerby D:
Im not the best Shado XD But man, i gotta start beating top players.
also, you know kita was just playing right? You are good dude, and we all know you are.

lmao@whitehouse

that made me lol xD

i've beaten several well known players, i'm just inconsistent and then lose to a better well known player lol. i'll get better though.

:093:
Same situation Camalange. Im really inconsistent, and rarely go to tourneys anymore, but after Pound, thats gonna change. Lets gogogogog Cam, and make sure to bring your hat. :x

Ive beaten well known players but no one cares about Scourges D;
Even though I dont like Scourge, i dont doubt your skill at this game. You, Kinzer, and Wedge too goodz!

sigh... someone misunderstands a post yet again...

o_o uh...
I know whats up Kojin. You told me before, its your mindset that keeps throwing you off, like how frustrating it can get to play in this gheyness. You said you'd get past it and have a clear mindset, and when someone tries to start playing ghey, you'll adapt and do the same thing to them. So just keep it up man, you got dis. I think Paix just misunderstood, im not mad at him :( Honestly, there is no way I can be the best Sonic. I have waaay too many faults such as getting predictable, getting on patterns, running into things Kirby bair's lol KID too good and some player skill faults. Espy, i think he's the top hedgehog. Dude is freakin crazy o_o and the way he can just adapt (unknowingly, mind you) is amazing. Im gonna keep working until I can get up there and still push myself further.

Speed For Best Sawnik!
lol nah dude. I got too many faults.

nah.

he's still too aggressive like me :p lol

:093:
Yeah...we need to figure out some kind of defensive game to balance our aggroness.

Aggression is a no-no in brawl :/ But, some people can make it work.
In a way, but as Sonic, it could come down to the opponent not knowing the MU. In those matches, you can (i still wouldnt recommend it unless you KNOW its gonna work) go aggro and get them caught up in some pretty crazy things. Or, you're just a better player overall and can predict and punish the other player's habits. Its up to you, since Sonic is so flexible.

lol MB.
i tried to play super aggro all match like speed. it didn't work. I'm somewhere in the middle now. i run around and do nothing a lot too lol. just run around....
Mindgames. Get in their head, make em scared. And i dont know Kojin, the random things i just do sometimes get into a pattern, and i dont ever use spring dair.

why pick one when you can play flat agression and beat a meta and than time out a wario the next round?

why choose one style when you can choose to play all of them in the correct circumstances. theres no point to playing aggro against a zelda or a DDD, and theres no point to trying to camp a falco or a toon link (tried it yesterday, dont work...)

do what works and play what wins.
Adaptation. You can still do the same thing and adapt, and still get the win. Is that what you're saying?

Well, running is Sonic's strongest attribute, you're supposed to use it. run around and look for openings/make openings. And if you're in trouble, just run away, almost always works :chuckle:
Pretty much. :)
Just be sure to know what to do next. :o

I know where you are coming from. you got me pegged. I kinda switch in between matches. It's not as flashy though. the only thing that stays constant is when I get you off the stage I go crazy lol.

back when i didn't know better, i once tried to camp out TKO's falco by dodging all the lasers. that didn't go well. :(

btw, who started that lame spelling for sonic lol?
Sawnik too goodz. TKO knows Sonic well, (he plays all of us :o) and dodging Falco's lasers...you mean AD/spotdodge, or trying to avoid them by moving away? Also, i find it kinda weird to switch (my disability of adapting :( )

I feel that there's only so far that speed and mindgames will get you. I just want to see a really gay playstyle that wins.
Time em out. Hit and run, irritate them so you can catch them on their faults. That is the best way to play Sonic.
