Advice to your younger self

[EPsilon933]

Do you really want to put in all that effort... for what? Don't be a tournament video uploader. Have fun playing a good game. Memories are what matter

 

[Moth101]

NO, I need your videos to feed my smash addiction.

I need not having anxiety and other things

**** you piece of **** *******. Stop picking on leffen. Pick on someone your own size. You're no better than Leffen and just going around harassing people doesn't help *******.

Are you for real? This has to be a troll.
This "debate" occured about 2 years ago.

i would tell my 7 year old self to not give away my gc to charity, then wait a lil and tell my 8 year old self that brawl isnt the only game in the smash franchise, gawd im such an idiot

 

[HolyHam]

Stop refusing to learn how to wavedash properly, just set down and grind it out. It will benefit you so much.

 

[Farco]

Don't stop playing Melee when Brawl came out.

 

[krazyzyko]

Always pull out.

 

[AirFair]

I would tell myself to buy a CRT as fast as possible. But this was only a year ago so whatever lol

 

[Spak]

I would tell myself in 2011 to learn more about my local Smash scene. I wouldn't go back to 2003 when I got Melee to learn about the scene because if I knew about the competitive Smash community at that point, I would've never developed hobbies that I still enjoy to this day and I feel like I would be less well-rounded of a person.

I would've told myself to stay using Fox, keep using Fox, and never consider switching outside of Fox. Fox is my playstyle and I could've been a much better Fox if I didn't switch to Falco or Marth.

Never begin rolling, it took me so long to get out of that habit (I still do sometimes).

 

[Spak]

(I still do sometimes).

Rolling isn't bad; as a matter of fact high-level players use rolls decently often. The important thing is using digression as to when to roll and when not to roll.

Agreed, I just mean there are times in which I use it as a movement tool and use it in ex-cession, not as much as I once did but still to an extant were it can be detrimental.

Younger Smash self?
Hehehe.
1) Stop beating up the characters you don't like.
2) On second thought, please do
3) Stop setting them to level 1
4) Go get friends because the AI is dumb
5) Who am I kidding, the AI is frame perfect in the new games lol
6) You suck with Bowser.
7) Being edgy and picking the villains doesn't make you cool, 7 year old me
8) ???
9) Uh...
10) Yeah, 12 year old me playing Brawl. STOP SAVING REPLAYS OF THE TIME YOU BEAT UP A LEVEL 1, 300 vs 100 STAMINA PEACH. You're never going to watch them, and it hogs space on the Wii.

 

[Serperior]

Stay with Melee and learn the technical techniques! Dont go to brawl!

 

[Serperior]

Also stick with a character. I swear I must have played every character at least 50 times.

 

[MagicScrumpy]

Also stick with a character. I swear I must have played every character at least 50 times.

Yeah, this. At least we'll know what to do in iron man matches.

 

[NintendoReaper]

8 year old me, you're by no means the best, and you won't actually be anywhere near "decent" until you're 13, unless you start practicing early.
13 year old me, you would've been better if you weren't always overestimating opponents to be like the LV.9 CPUs you beat by spamming Link's projectiles in Brawl. By the way don't get an action replay for your Gamecube, that thing was terrible to the console, and the same goes for Brawl on the Wii. Just get Brawl once the Wii U is released.

 

[Low5_]

If I could tell myself one thing, I'd probably tell him how to DI and SDI/ASDI properly.

"Get a hold of a CRT as fast as possible and seek out knowledge whenever you can"

 

[KirinKQP]

Stop playing on your LED TV, get a small CRT because of lag and you can move it around. Stop practicing Marth, Falco and Yoshi, you're just gonna stick with Jigglypuff. Go purchase a good controller already and start going to weeklies and play against people.

 

[KEYLIME SSB]

Stop wasting your time on Marth and switch to Luigi. You'll never be seriously good with any other character. Also your Puff isn't nearly as good as you think it is.

 

[Crooked Crow]

Brawl was a mistake. You should have played Smash 64 as your main game & Melee on the side. You will never be able to press buttons fast enough to be a top player, hence Melee being a side game.

You should have acted less like a pretentious and juvenile dolt.

I'm so burnt out in life and will never have that fire again. I squandered it.

 

[SmolNozomi]

remember to read the game which the disscussion is talking about
