I'm going to rip this up real quick
i'm not good at video games, i never have and i doubt i ever will be.
These are the words that will make you a bad player forever.
my fingers are ********. i'm bad at pressing buttanz correctly. Also I choke under pressure.
For one, you don't have to be quick fingered in order to learn situations, granted it will take you a much longer time than some others to get to that point, however it can be achieved, you will just have to beat it into yourself. Choking under pressure is something you have to beat into yourself to NOT do. This is probably because you don't play many tournaments outside of AL.
that's just how i am i guess
.
correction, that's how you are nOW.
i doesn't have any bearing on my understanding of the game or my ability to tell when someone else sucks at the game.
Yes, it does. Does being a bad player get shut off when you're on the power rankings of a state? Does being a bad player get stopped when you get 5th in a tournament? Being a bad player is admitting that you can't go any further with your skill. Being a good player is learning from your mistakes, and constantly working towards another goal. At least in a sportsmanship sort of way. If you understood the game through and through, you could make your own strategies, it is obvious that you don't put enough thought into the game on your own, or discuss with others how to improve.
I dont know how to advance a metagame, that's not my place.
I don't understand why you're making so many excuses for yourself..
no i am not on the same level as big lou or reflex obviously.
By the way, what i was going to say to this answer was, since you aren't like biglou, reflex, or lee martin, you are still a scrub in your own right. Therefore you shouldn't be allowed to bash other scrubs.
I am not good at Brawl, and I acknowledge that. There's no way for me to get good. because I dont play any legitimately good people.
This starts with yourself, make some money, get a job, do your schoolwork, and train on the rest of the time you have available, even if it cuts into your hours. Use that money to go to tournaments out of state, reflex goes EVERYWHERE for experience, so does Biglou, so does lee martin. Why haven't you? Because you don't have enough drive, not because of all of these bull**** excuses.
Except George. and I can probably beat most Kirbys as a result. bc i got actually good practice.
All i see from this is you see the result of practice, however you still say you won't get good.
This should teach you to find more ways of practice.
usually when i play someone its some dude using some ******** strat that doesn't really help me learn anything about the game. and that dude will probably get 5th in the tournament andd think he's "good" at the game.
wait, he's using a strategy? He's using something he learned? Why don't you use something you learned? That person is skilled relatively considering the fact he was able to use his strategy to get to fifth place. It doesn't matter how ******** you think it is, his strategy is sound enough for top 5.
Brawl is easier to play than other games. its no secret. the game makes you think you're good because you found some repetitive strat that seems to work against other scrubs.
Then you find strategies to beat it, and you use those strategies, find out why that strategy is good, and where it can have weakpoints.
and I would think thats all the game was if it weren't for people like biglou and reflex and leemartin and george and will etc. they take everything you think you know about the game and flip it upside down
because they PRACTICE
Snake is a good characters but he's not nearly as good as he's made out to be. playing him requires more skill t han some other characters. snake requires a whole lot of prediction and pre-empting people. even against some scrubs, you still have to use your brain to defeat them. unlike some other characters where you can just throw stuff the whole match or press c stick the whole match.
you don't play those other characters, so is that really true information you're giving us? No, it's not, if that was the case, the best way to beat that is
lol
R button. Then punish.
but if i can 2-0 my entire pool using snakedash back and forth, why would I do anything else?
It's not just to win, it's to learn through other experiences.
anyway, i play snake because i win more with snake. "play to win" is a mindset of a competitive community. Its a mindset brawl scrubs lack
.
not true, they have the play to win strategy if they're winning high placings in tournaments like you just said.. You're contradicting.
they mainly complain about good characters rather than picking them up or learning how to beat them.
like you do when it comes to strategies?
anyone who has been active in both the melee and brawl communities can tell the difference between the communities.
the only real difference is their game. That's it.
brawl players wan to ban everything they cant beat, they show up late to tournaments, they want special treatment in tournaments, they complain and argue about everything, and they, for the most part, don't really want to get good at the game, so much as do well in tournaments or get on a PR list (which are two different things). These are facts. well this is what i've seen.. and if you were in the Melee scene, you know that this kind of thing rarely occurred.
Honestly, i don't even know why I'm still ripping apart these posts. Brawl players ask for things they want? Where is that a problem? From what I've seen from some melee players, they steal, lie, and take money from their other players. Should I say the whole community is like that? No, it's not. Don't base the community based on a few people that you see. Also, take a look at some of the things you said and see if they really are as bad as you say they are. I understand banning things all the time is too much, but we barely even do that except for MK. I mean what the **** dude, are you going to say that just because one thing was blown up large, that that's all the brawl community does?
I might host another brawl tournament in ttown, with melee as the side tournament.
and you know what, if time/date isn't an issue, i bet melee players from across the region will come to play melee.
BRAWL PLAYERS WOULD NEVER DO THAT. if i held a melee tournament with a brawl side tournament, brawl players would never travel hours for that.
not even going to comment.
brawl players are the opposite. they don't care about getting better,t hey just want some kind of accolades for flicking the C stick alot. you know how many brawl players have "quit" because they're not "as good as they want to be"?
just like you're quitting?
if you've seen my sig, you'll know that i've given up on brawl becoming a respectable competitive community for a long time now.
want to know why? Because we ca'nt respect people like YOU who give up!
. During the early stages of the game, i was posting in every thread on this god ****ed website trying to figure out new strategies and discuss where the game was going.
Not anymore, so obviously you are no help.
brawl scrubs, in the meantime, were practicing their infinites and trying to get metaknight banned.
didn't metaknight ban have 40% who didn't want?
and didn't BBR still force the MK ban not to happen?
Dude you're just making a bunch of excuses for yourself, and then bashing brawl 'scrubs' who are the exact same as you. How about you step it up man.
