Chicago-Land Power Rankings (Updated 12/30/2011)

[Tink]

you play marth, so your view on the subject is skewed.

tech skill is very much NOT overrated....u think if mango played slow he would be as good? no....half the reason(other half is knowledge of the game) he is so good is he can produce a high level of tech skill over a long period of time, without messing up almost ever. which most players cant(ask kelly)....mango doesnt miss l cancels, he doesnt miss fast falling, and almost every player in the world, does.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Ok dart, no more pivot grabs then bro. Gotta slow it down and work on them fundamentals, like walking around and utilting

 

[Dart!]

Having superb tech skill is pretty overrated.
The [overly technical never win. You're better off slowing down your tech a little bit to have better fundamentals and matchup knowledge.

Plus all that mashing ruins your hands

I did say that ok good, yes. But you guys blew what I said way out of proportion.
Mango doesn't do overly technical things. Double shining/knowing how to space on shield/shine grabbing aren't super technical things.

There's a difference between silent wolf and lovage's technicality than mangos.
Mango also wins tournaments. Think about it.

Or continue to troll me. That's about all you do anyway tink.

He's not smart enough to troll you purposely

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Its all relative bro. Especially now, the technical fox players are the most successful. Kels and I were chatting about how funny it is that people used to say doubleshining is useless and only noobs learn it, now its a necessary mixup for spacies. The fringes of today's limits are always the beginnings of tomorrows standards.

 

[Devil Ray]

tech skill is pretty important. i lost a lot of it in korea.

where's kelly at yo? is he licking his wounds from apex or something?

 

[ORLY]

fast falling and l cancels aren't overly technical things, those are fundamental things.

 

[Tink]

doing them through shields and they become a lil technical 0_o.

 

[Meneks]

Mango's ingame tech skill is far more superiour than silent wolf's.

He doesn't appear to be overly technical because 95% of what he does is practical, due to his thinking he puts himself in situations where its required to be fast/technical which is why it doesn't look like durpwestballzderp

 

[Meneks]

Double post: is anyone from the city driving to smym?

I would most definitely be able to pay my share in and gas fees and probably smoke you out if interested?

 

[darkatma]

Time for a new PR:

1. Kels
2. everyone else is inactive.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Nah i'm active. I just dont have money to entry fee

 

[Scythe]

I'm active too, but i suck : /

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I SUCK MORE! MONEY MATCH!?

 

[ORLY]

inactive? LOL

i go to every tournament

 

[Scythe]

let's do this joe!!! come to my tourney on the 2nd!!

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Ok we will settle who sucks more. First to lose 3 matches wins.

 

[FrootLoop]

you fools pros have nothing on my "never been ranked" level of bad.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Yeah frank, you're so awful that I always let you win to make you feel better

I need a new avatar, anyone have a suggestion?

 

[Oro?!]

Lina blazing up.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I might be able to make that work, but lina is all about sex appeal. Hard to fit both into the same avatar


also, you coming to smash today zudo?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Yo can anyone update their avatar? I reported the bug in the dev section, but i want to make sure its not just me

 

[Scythe]

reminder that there's a tourney a week from now at CoD.

 

[sanchaz]

Yeah frank, you're so awful that I always let you win to make you feel better

Something smash related. Seriously.

Here's a place to come prove it. Plus it's Madison, so you know it'll be fun.

 

[bearsfan092]

Any bums in the Chicagoland area wanna get together for a little Melee this week? Given about a day's notice, I'm available Sunday through Friday this week. I can host at my place. I've got one full setup but two TV's. Evenings probably preferred.

 

[Meneks]

Are you in the city?

 

[bearsfan092]

Ah yeah, key detail. I'm located in Woodridge, which is a suburb not too far from Naperville.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I think were planning to do a smashfest or two at CoD this week. Are you in the facebook group?

 

[bearsfan092]

Nah, because I'm usually in Pittsburgh. I'll request to join.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

alright you're in.

 

[Scythe]

ok what are the cars for smym?

 

[Meneks]

I'm ready for smym

 

[mar.rio]

What's smym?

I'm in the Chicagoland : 3
...

 

[ORLY]

SMYM babyyyy

 

[DwightDL]

Sup Chicagoians
I play Melee over in Wa (Bellingham to be exact) and I'm visiting a friend of mine until Tuesday. If anybody has some free time or there is a smashfest or something I'd love to meet some new players and play some friendlies. I'm not extremely active in the Wa scene (my work usually conflicts with our monthly), but i've been playing consistently for a couple years despite only going to a couple tournaments.
but yeah my number is 206-334-0436 hit me up if you're interested

 

[Oro?!]

I'm on spring break so I would get some games in. : )

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Been playing some PM, really liking the new version. I have a few pocket chars, but I still need to do some training mode before i bust them out for realz
