Dude, great to hear you're doing good. The best thing to do is to continue to go to tournies, and play as many friendlies possible. And as crazy as this sounds, go online, join a Ladder. Lag will cause things to be different, but you'll see plenty of play styles. This was my first brawl tourney, but I seemed to have a grasp on matchups for the most part, due to online ladders. It makes it competative, and you still get some sort of feel for styles. Again, glad to hear you're ok.Ok, here's my obligatory post on what happened. I love puns, so let's just say I really took getting "burned" to a whole new level. Not only did I totally stink up the tournament (though I did put up a fight for the most part), but when we went into the sauna afterward, I ended up falling straight into the hot coals. The left side of my back was significantly burned, as was my left elbow. It didn't really hurt, but since that's actually a trademark of serious burns (and it looked like hell), we sought medical attention and I spent the rest of the day in the hospital. I've been released with no problems. I'll have to change bandages, reapply a special cream for a few days, and I've got off work tomorrow because of it.
Hopefully, this will be analogous to what happens with a phoenix. It's clear that I need much more practice. I've got talent, but I was unfocused and there were simply play styles I had never seen before. Trouble is, only one of the guys there is near me, and I've pretty much adapted to his play style already. Besides him, I'm one of the best players in my area. There just aren't any good Meta-Knights, Lucas, and only somewhat good Zamus players. We'll just see what the future has for me. I knew this was going to be a losing experience for me; I just didn't realize how much. I only got 1 win to save me from preliminary elimination.
wow jeff. if you felt that way you simply should have said you didn't feel like splitting, which you certainly had the right to do. i would have been fine with that. i would have had to fight kirk and i felt that i could have won (no offense to you kirk, you have the sickest ike i've ever seen) in a set of close matches. i felt i would have not been able to take 2 sets after that, which gives me *dun dun dun* 30%, the same amount I got anyway without the split.cosmo: Desperation is a very ugly color... and you're lucky you pleaded with the right guy. 33% may not be a difference from 45%, but it's a hell of a lot bigger than 60 which I definitely could've just said **** you and done. I've only split money once, and that was with Aaron at Fuhgeddaboutit, and we still both tried our hardest to win that tournament. It was insulting how you forfeited just because you got your way. Earn your money next time. With that said, good job in teams, that I definitely couldn't have done without you which was the only reason I agreed to split in the first place. And you don't need to camp on the ledges to win.
lol, that's a load of crap, because after Chexr got knocked out, I said we'll split it 45-45, and you were still panicking to get kirk to take the deal once you saw him play me. that extra 12 % would've been an extra 50 bucks for me, but if you maybe lost, it would've meant only 40 for you total.wow jeff. if you felt that way you simply should have said you didn't feel like splitting, which you certainly had the right to do. i would have been fine with that. i would have had to fight kirk and i felt that i could have won (no offense to you kirk, you have the sickest ike i've ever seen) in a set of close matches. i felt i would have not been able to take 2 sets after that, which gives me *dun dun dun* 30%, the same amount I got anyway without the split.
this.This was fun, but not because of the game. I guess I can put away my copy of brawl until the next one : P.
on flat zoneimo if people decide to split then the match should be.......
yoshi ditto
I think spear pillar would be a better place. Its more fitting for Brawl to have the longest match possible.on flat zone
also puffinator is the best in the world at whistling
