Hi Ez i've seen you around in a lot of threads. I've played Smash Bros since I was 2 and have been competitive in Brawl for quite sometime. However Project M has interested me in my old favorites mehanics which when I was younger were too complex. There is a local tournament, entry is $40 but you get to play Melee Pm and Brawl each with $600 prizes. If I'm going to pay full price I might as well get full value. I'm very interested in exploring the new movesets for the characters but for the time being I need a really good character that won't take over a month to be good at. (Like the ICs in Brawl) I know Fox has a high learning curve I'm just wondering if I could be adept at him in a month and if not who among PM (and melees) cast could I pick up?
Before I say try fox, answer the following questions:
•How good are you at adapting in Melee and Brawl?
•How much time could you put into practice(if you have a crew or something like that, that would help)
•How good do you think you are at learning and what not?
•What would you say is the level of the players attending this event?
•Do you think you have at least average tech skill? You will need a considerable amount for fox. The good thing is, his meta game is for ahead, all you have to do is search it up.
I could probably think of better questions, but yea. The best thing to do, might be to learn a character who is a little bit more on the simpler side, who doesn't have such a high risk and reward factor to them.
I think sheik would be good to try for melee and mario would be great for PM. Both of those characters are great, their learning curve isn't as steep as fox and they have the tools to fight any character, while both being in the top 5/10 characters in their respected game. Mario does struggle against characters that out range him and people who negate his fireballs though.
Do you have a preferred play style?
