You don't know what went through my head after Coney scraped me. Aside from "Damn, he's good." All that went through my head was "Trent took him to game 3, I got 3 stocked and then 2 stocked. How?" Then I lost to Cook, an Olimar that Trent has beaten before. I was beside myself. I know how to fight Olimar, I know what I need to do and I blew it and I'm done with it. There is nothing I can do about it other than to keep coming up short. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Let's face it, I'm bad.
Hey. Let's both be bad together, eh?
But on a much more serious note:
I've made up my mind. I'm sticking it out with 
/. I've tried and tried and I've gotten next to nowhere. I don't even feel like my Sonic has improved any. I ask for critiques but I hardly get any. I'm just falling apart with Sonic. SiiS4 was like the one last opportunity to make a name or something for myself by getting into brackets and showing people what I had going with Sonic. Clearly, I had nothing to show outside of mediocrity.
W-wait a minute now!
I wasn't told this before! ;~;
Excel, why not talk to me whenever you get new videos online?
On AIM.
I try to be active on the boards, but with all due honesty that's easier said than done. I could help you if you ask me "take a look at these vids plz now/whenever you get a chance." or whatever over the Instant Messager. I am on AIM all the time, to stay in touch with people. I also tend to leave my computer on throughout the day if I go do something around the house so unless I'm like really into D2 ATM (since I can't have the window minimized and play it at the same time unfortunately), I will eventually notice the IM and take a look at whatever it is you said.
... In the rare case I don't respond other than the previous condition, I probably left my computer on to listen to music while I sleep. This is usually only past 2 A.M. PST though, and I think I will be idle. Unless somebody comes in, since this desk isn't really resistant to movement...
I really do my best to not ignore people. Jerry and Michael are the two exceptions since I talk to them everyday and really I think the three of us can agree that every other day is just meh.
... This is all assuming it isn't too late. If you've already made your decision, good luck in your future endeavors. I have a feeling I have some idea of what it's like to lose to players you
could beat if you didn't limit yourself...
Goggles, help me out here. I am
terrible at traditional fighters, which is why I've been playing MMOs and Brawl/Soku. Soku can only be related for having similar concepts, like reversals, supers, etc., but I'm not aware of any other game that allows you to practically dash through projectiles like Soku does.
I've tried Melty Blood, and that's probably much closer, if not an actual traditional fighter. I really cannot stand how "stiff" the characters feel. Teching is virtually non existent, and pressure stops when the opponent messes up.
Then again, maybe not even MB, since it puts a heavy emphasis on corner pressure... like to an (un?)healthy point. Unless there are some reversals in that game I'm not aware of, there really is no way to deal with blockstrings except wait for a reset.
That's really my only experience post learning about competitive gaming. If you'd allow me, I have played Melee, Smash64, Tekken, Marvel, Street Fighter, but I was young and hadn't known about this type of scene extensively; which is why I don't count them.
And lastly:
@Speed - You know where to find me bro.
