X is the Sonic that 2-0'd Tyrant and DSF and almost defeated Mew2King in the first set of Grand Finals.

Get at him.

HYPE.
Because Mk's are the same as Ice climbers?

You just made yourself sound really really stupid....

How? It's ****ing Mew2King. One of the most powerful players in the world of Smash. And X took the fight to him.

Don't underestimate him. That's a mistake anyone can make before they get rocked. Also, mind yourself and don't be a ****. Now piss off.

If X's spin oriented style is as it was vs. M2K, he's honestly going to run into a whole slew of problems if Cheese is able to adapt and abuse it.

Let's hope the spin-game he uses has evolved since then, or else this could turn out incredibly bad.
Just 3 grabs.

X told me he's handled Ice Climbers before, so one of two things. He's either adapted to change it up appropriately against Ice Climbers (no man can make it just on spinning alone), or the ICs he's played haven't been up to snuff. Time will tell. This should be fun though. Someone better record this!

He needs to destroy that Nana though. Sonic can 0-death her from a single split.

X just told me what he does. He doesn't run head-long into them. He'll use ASC to fish for a hit. If he lands one as he eats the shield or so, aggro from there to follow up with moves. If it fails? Be safe and roll away, try again.

X's got a good idea.

Holy crap espy wtd man. I dont like her like that. And im not a furry! D:<

Cheese? He has Sonic exp. Enough to slaughter if you just spindash into him. If he's ic's pls dont ASC like crazy. He'll pivot it everytime. Trust me on this, i've seen him play Shado man. All he did was pivot ASC.

His MK will be as gay as possible, especially since its for 50$. I'll assume he'll play like this MK i played at apex. He used nado perfectly, and abused it, and i took over 200+ damage from it cause im bad. Note that i still won somehow, but holy crap, that was alot of nado. :/ But im sure X should do good, but its EC Sonic practice we're talking here. Raises hands i guess...

btw, watching San play is so motivating...like wow. Honestly, thats a player i can respect.

oreo, you should know that you shouldnt get grabbed.

also when I played cheese, there was no mikehaze rule in effect, so I randomly screamed at the top of my lungs and he refused to drop the grab... I pretty much did every random thing possible to get out of the grab and nothing worked. I even mashed as loudly as possible and put my controller right next to his ear so he could hear the mashing, and dude was completely unfased.

In that case, he should do fine.

Hey Espy, I'm gonna be at a tournament with H-ylian, anything I need to know about his Climbers if I play them?
Condition him to use blizzard.

Personally, I find Blizzard to be one of the most punishable moves an Ice Climbers can do against a Sonic. It's too easy to separate them during it.

Popo is helpless if you keep Nana in the air. Bair her a few times off of the level, and keep her away from him.

Basically, focus on separating them, then go in for the Popo kill. Popo has an incredibly difficult time against Sonic.

@da kid: You Hazed? That's incredibly lame.

If he's ic's pls dont ASC like crazy. He'll pivot it everytime. Trust me on this, i've seen him play Shado man. All he did was pivot ASC.
Sounds easy enough to abuse. Charge an ASC, then watch him pivot grab nothing, because you'll be charging. It's a great way to get in someone's head.

PS: Speed's furry for Sally. Can't quite blame him though.

....i dont get what that's supposed to do. O_o

oh god, now espy's gonna act like kupo fffffffffffff. im taking this to the sgd. Im. Not. A. Furry.

Tourney-wise i dont know what to do. Like...i got ***** game one vs atomsk. Game two, i played so well, but im sure it was the stage, PS1 does get pretty dumb at times. Then he took me to battlefield, and i just straight up hate that stage, especially vs D3. ugh...i think im getting stagnant. I went into Apex feeling well...kinda confident i guess. But im not improving, im just doing the same thing over and over. Iono know what to do :L

And why the heck do i always, always, always have to play Malcolm or someone i always play in tourney? ;-;

Seagull, it's just me (and Kupo, lol).

Calm down.
Lol. I'll calm down for you Espy.

I was just stating facts to Karaudo and trolling when I called Sonic's furrys. That avi mad cute by the way. :laugh:

Plenty of Wolf's are furrys and I love all the Wolfies:bee:

I obviously don't underestimate M2k, but I also don't consider using him as an example when the character X is Money matching isn't nearly the same. If he compared using Lain, Swordgard, or Meep then I wouldn't of said anything, yet all he listed was Metaknights.

Hope that makes sense.

I'm just calling it how I see it. Not once did I naysay Cheese. You're the one that called me stupid because I mentioned X's accomplishments meanwhile, which was uncalled for.

I'm just rooting for a fellow Sonic main.
I didn't call you stupid. I called what you said stupid.

I'm not one to make drama, but I am one to argue semantics.

In all fairness speed you have gotten better.

letts look at the last 250+ man tourneys youve attended.

At MLG Columbus, you got 49th. And at Apex, you got 33rd. Therefore there is enough evidence to state that you are improving.

Also, you have to play people you dont want to play every tourney because you arent seen by TOs as good enough to be seeded high enough to play the not as good people in brackets. Thats really all there is to it. So all you really have to do is keep moving forward, and all of your problems will pretty much solve themselves.

Just because you 'feel' like you arent improving doesnt mean your feeling is true.

Dude has a point Speed. If I were in that position, I would've barely made it out of pools and wouldn't come close to making it out of Round 2. So, you should pat yourself on the back for making it as far as you did. Plus you're taking ATOMSK to GAME 3. I mean seriously kid, you're much better than you give yourself credit for.

Playing a lower-tier character isn't the be-all to end-all of not placing well.

Skill and the passion for your character, and the hard work put into it therefore, is what will talk in the end.

What happens when X fights people that know the matchup?

The weekend after he took 2nd to m2k, didn't he take 2nd at a local to some random MK?
Woah, woah, let's not be hasty here.
I mean, we've gone through this a billion times on the Sonic boards already. The argument's outdated.
