The hardest part is controlling your fingers well enough to not start mashing B or full hopping. When you do it enough, it feels (and even looks) like a simple motion, rather than the crazy flailing of thumbs that it starts as.Yo @Zoma thanks for the SHDL tip man, I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Did you check the tip jar?Where the hell are my tips @

Any friend that would set up him up for a burn is just stealing his joy. Besides I don't think he even exists.
It sounds like his friend is a theif... A PhantomThief.

im pitting my location down as Tuscaloosa next time so I don't play anyone from there early in bracket

Do you think that N I N T H B O Y Z get seeded?

Just wait. 4.0 will come out on a Friday. I will learn ALL the Lyn match ups. You guys won't stand a chance.

I mean you need to know more than match ups to win
MasterIcarus7 (SHADE)
Smash Ace
True, but I can just play Lyn until I find a crappy matchup, and then I'll just play the advantageous character. It's something I'm still learning with Marth, so I'm open to advice if anyone has any

I just checked the brackets from Saturday and you didn't even play anyone from Tuscaloosa. Have you ever played anyone from there in bracket?

No, but I want to avoid them anyway

Good idea.
Put this dude up against Huntsville at the start of the next tournament, you guys.
I will get my revenge.

Then why on earth did you challenge me to an Ike ditto and never even follow through?

I would have, buy my ride made us choose between stay and walk 15 miles home, or leave at 5. As much as he is my homie, I wasn't walking 15 miles with PhantomTheif
Jake The Preacher
The Amateur Preacher
So you're under the impression that this "ditto" would've taken more than 5 hours, correct?
Child Star
Smash Ace
I think he had planned to do it later in the night and his ride forced him to leave.

It sort of reminds me of sliding frets on a guitar, idk once i realized the motion I've gotten some what consistent at it. Yeah I was mashing so hard before the motion clicked and it was starting to frustrate me.

I don't like the way "fixed" PM characters play. That might be the reason why I don't like PM. It feels like instead of playing the game the devs are saying use these techs on these characters instead of giving everyone equal abilities

Time to do some goal planning to help build a unified state again....among other goals

Goodluck getting HASL off their brand, if youre looking to centralize the brand having the HASL brand competing within the state isnt doing you any favors. Cutting VODS on an ASL channel kinda goes hand in hand with brand centralization. On the other hand, some streams and VODS are better than no streams and VODS.

If I'm correct, i don't think HASL has any issues with ASL. The ASL actually came first and when that started slowing down then HASL started. I don't think we'd drop our brand but working together will very much be a thing
Child Star
Smash Ace
No one is arguing that HASL wont help, historically they've helped, but if we are looking to centralize the smash scene under the ASL banner there wont be room for the HASL brand, which is conflicting because HASL is established.
Dron
Smash Apprentice
HASL has worked way too hard for them to give up their brand/stream, so I would never expect assistance from them in particular
I think the best thing for the state would've been to just hand over everything ASL-related to them before they started working on the HASL brand, but it's definitely way too late for that now
I just want the state as a whole to have a few more basic community-based resources

Well expecting the rest of us to integrate while excluding HASL comes off as cheap, most of the regions have at least some branding. Also ive always thought first and foremost we develop talent for people to watch. On another note, I jokingly (****postingly) made an AMA on the PM subreddit and i got a few replies from guys in Alabama that didn't know where any of the scene HUBs were. There is at least some potential to find new members through better marketing/outreach.
EDIT:
Sending out an ASL emblem to throw into the streams is a pretty good idea.

You could play auburn instead if you'd like
And if you put down Tuscaloosa you can even call it a rivalry

I think branding ASL without trying to shut anyone else out can be a big thing too. But we shouldn't be forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to do. At the minimum I think the ASL banner on streams is reasonable. For people who can stream but don't currently have a strong upload channel or twitch channel then uploading matches to twitch or using the ASL twitch account can be beneficial
Child Star
Smash Ace
All im saying is that doing more than very small things to enhance ASL brand awareness will be impossible to implement retroactively. If people want to give their uploads to tge ASL youtube channel (and someone from Alabama wins Tipped Off) we might be able to do that. If we could go back in time having every stream flying ASL colors and logos would be the best option. Everyone knows HASLs stream looks the best and everyone would have benefitted from similar quality under a unified logo.
Mahgnittoc
Smash Ace
The streams don't have to look the best. ASL should be more about raising the awareness that AL has a strong smash scene. That's why logos and the tshirts are a big thing
Auburn's been kind of on the fence for whether we should start a DGR or Auburn Twitch. We want to grow the DGR brand, because we want that tournament series to pull more and more from both Alabama and Georgia (that sweet, sweet border). Definetly we'll make sure to feature the ASL logo heavily, and if we don't stream on an Auburn twitch, we'll run a game through the ASL twitch. I don't mind giving the vods to the ASL youtube, either.
