I never really see anyone using CC'ing. Apparently Peek uses it.

Sometimes against DK's I'll bait their <100 ledge get-up attacks with CC's. Never works quite as well as it should.

 

[ballin4life]

Haha, not likely.

This might surprise some people, but I'm actually a pretty bad student, even if I'm smarter than like 99% of people my age.

why are you a bad student in that case?

 

[Battlecow]

He just doesn't want to end up as a TOOL of the MAN like you, ballin', with your StanOxfordian education and your internships.

He's his own person.

 

[ciaza]

cos academic intelligence =! real intelligence.

I wasn't a great student in high school because I was too busy playing SSB to study. As long as you pick up your game during uni you should be right, bridging courses are everywhere. I'm planning to go to the ANU next year for example because I'm actually studying what interests me, which helps a lot.

I CC heaps, just cos. Probably not the smartest thing to do a lot of the time but it's fun.

I'm one of the laziest people you will ever meet. I lack willpower, and I can't stomach things I don't enjoy.

Compared to myself, I've never met a more extreme underachiever. That's definitely the thing I dislike about myself the most.

CC'ing is not as useful as in Melee because Melee has less hitstun, so you can act way more quickly after being hit.

 

[ciaza]

Here I was thinking you were the American equivalent of aa who got 100% in everything and attained the highest possible score at the end of Year 12.

 

[The Star King]

I definitely have the potential to.

And all my close middle school friends went to TJHSST without me *sigh*

 

[ballin4life]

just stop being lazy. it's only as difficult as you make it.


Not trying to hate or anything, but LOTS of people say that they are smart and lazy. I think most of them probably are just making excuses and trying to diminish the accomplishments of others (e.g. "I could have done that, but I'm just lazy"). But it's even more sad if there is someone that actually is really smart but is wasting his potential.

I used to be kinda lazy, but I've been making a big effort to change that. My biggest weakness was (and probably still is) procrastination, and that really just comes down to having some ****ing willpower.

 

[ciaza]

You're right. I too know a lot of people who self-handicap themselves. Subconsciously or consciously they choose not to study for a test, but to protect their own ego. That way after the test they can go: "I could have nailed that test if I studied and wanted to, but oh well".

Not saying SK is like that, it could just be laziness.

Best advice I can give is that the difference between a dream and reality is a plan. Set small goals for yourself each day, and get a study plan. Study things you hate for 5 minutes straight, take a break, study again for 5 minutes, repeat. It takes a while but you can get a solid hour of study like that.

Not that I can talk. I did too little too late, but better late than never.

 

[Battlecow]

I never worked hard in school, but I never had to. I'm just that smart

get at me

 

[ciaza]

I'm sure you were pretty good at creative writing in English.

 

[Battlecow]

I won the Rosemary M Laughlin creative writing award

$500 *****es get at me

 

[clubbadubba]

I definitely have the potential to.

That's was my high school bro. If any of your friends play bball I prolly coached them lol.

Serious post:

No one cares. Really.

There's just no sense in being proud of accomplishments that were easy. Congratulations on getting lucky and being smart, but that does not deserve respect by itself.

Also if you have this attitude you'll just make things harder on yourself later.

 

[Battlecow]

My goal is to breeze through everything by dint of just being that ****ing smart

wut

 

[asianaussie]

i sacrificed most of my social life to juggle asian-level academics and smash 64

crouch cancelling is pretty good

 

[cheeseball341]

I sacrificed most of my smash64 life to juggle moderately-smart white person academics and a social life.

Regrets.

 

[Battlecow]

I sacrificed O WAIT NO I DIDN'T

 

[cheeseball341]

Looks like you sacrificed all yo muscle mass cuzzzz.

p.s. I don't actually know if this is you, but ciaza said so.

 

[Battlecow]

**** no

I should not have posted that

LONG TIME AGO GUYZ

 

[cheeseball341]

Sorry brah.

No h8 intended.

 

[Battlecow]

haha

No seriously though I was joking about everything I said in like the last 2 hours

I totally sacrificed my social life to be mediocre at smash and I'm really not smart

 

[Glöwworm]

Looks like Battlecow is 4 stocking some guy on Kaillera

Well, I figured somebody would say this. You think I haven't heard this before? You think I haven't tried?

 

[ciaza]

OK, here's what you do:

Watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

After you cry tears of manliness you'll realise that you can do the impossible, see the invisible and even, break the unbreakable. You'll summon willpower from nothing defying the all-powerful ex nihilo nihil fit rule, and be able to acheive anything.

 

[asianaussie]

i was going to discourage them from starting a petty, ego-centric argument over the internet

but TTGL works too

 

[Battlecow]

l0lz

how 'bout people stop trying to give each other legit life advice in the smash 64 social thread

'Cause you pretty much have to choose between Weeaboos and Libertarians

I'd sooner not see that go down

 

[TANK64]

Well, I figured somebody would say this. You think I haven't heard this before? You think I haven't tried?

I feel your pain. You repeat over to yourself that you're going to get serious and achieve said goal, but before you know it you've failed to convince yourself to act once again. I'm probably going to get medication, but don't want to (Just 'till I graduate).

Ballin is right- It is a shame. I get great grades, but now can't bring myself to show up to class senior year.

In all seriousness, I was given another opportunity today to get my life back together. I may not get another, so I have to take extreme measures. No more sandbagging. Whatever it takes to win.

Well, sounds like you're at least on the right track mentally ...


Really though, if you want to continue making excuses and TALKING about how you're really smart, go ahead. I'll be over here playing the world's smallest violin.

 

[The Star King]

You're dumb.

And I pretty much have the same mindset as TANK.

 

[ballin4life]

Maybe you missed the words "Ballin is right" in his post?

 

[Dingus]

I apologize for the potentially stupid question. How do you drop through a platform and perform a uair without jumping? Usually I would buffer the up input to do an uair without jumping, but I need to press down to drop through the platform.

Thanks

 

[Battlecow]

If you're on controller- press up lightly, like you're performing a tilt attack. It's somewhat difficult and will take a little practice to do consistently.

 

[flamindemon]

Do people use r for air attacks and c to jump?

 

[Glöwworm]

Do people use r for air attacks and c to jump?

People use the c button to short hop usually. I guess some people use R to do air attacks.

 

[ciaza]

I use the c buttons for all ranges of my jumps, and the analog only if I want to full hop.

I use A button for aerials personally, but I know of people who use R.

 

[The Star King]

Maybe you missed the words "Ballin is right" in his post?

I don't think your advice is wrong, I think your assumptions about what I've already tried are.

 

[Battlecow]

KB players may not realize how much controller players use their C buttons

I almost never used C-hopping (i.e. holding down C) until like six months ago. But on console I have to use it for almost everything.

 

[Surri-Sama]

Do people use r for air attacks and c to jump?

I do...I also use R to cancel attacks lol.

Q: Why, when Link throws two bombs vertically one after another and they collide, do they always fall to the left?
