Some dudes mentioned you and were wondering where you've been lately.I have to start preparing my Ganon for all the falcos and Olimars that I'll meet during these tourneys. Hopefully I'll have a world-class Ganon (in melee AND brawl) by the time I go to Genesis.
Nowadays, given the lack of ganon mains, if you have a somewhat decent Ganon - it's world class.And I'd hope to have a world-class anybody. I just feel too lame right now to see that being in my future anytime soon.
Play melee. Get bryce to stop hating on the no chain grabs in brawl+; what a noobDARN IT, WHY CAN'T I GET BETTER!?
You lost 1st rounds in both? Lametoast... I'm just glad I didn't lose any of my first rounds...Oh, yeah. I guess I'm famous cuz I went to 2 tourneys and lost 1st rounds in both brackets :D
And I had to go and main Snake... Freakin' Metal Gear games are making me have to work harder... And getting a world-class pikachu isn't an easy task either...Nowadays, given the lack of ganon mains, if you have a somewhat decent Ganon - it's world class.
I don't get how playing Melee will make me better. Yeah, Melee is awesome and all, but with how accustomed I've gotten to Brawl, having barely any experience in competitive Melee cause I joined REALLY late, and the fact that I'm not that great at Brawl when Melee is supposed to be like 10 times more advanced makes it seem like I wouldn't get very far in Melee...Play melee.

We should. I fail at mindgames cause the only people I've fought that are serious about this game are you and Bryce and Bryce has only fought me... I'm not counting any of the wifi matches cause wifi fails... It's probably the reason I got raeped in this tourney... and the fact that I know nothing about Wolf at all... I got seriously raeped by one...Oh yeah and get together with me again sometime over spring break

And Bryce hates Brawl+ in general. I still think it's only fun for messing around. I'm not gonna get too serious with it...

Man, I know all sorts of tricks and tactics with my characters, I know what all their moves do and how to use them, but I lack the ability to use them right cause I never fight anybody. I got the knowledge but not the ability to use it...
End rant.
The only times we have ever fought was either on wifi or the one time you came over and I had been on a small hiatus to play some other games and only went back to play on wifi (against Bryce again no less...), so I was in stupid "wifi mode." I know I'm not that bad, but I'm not that good either.Well to be fair, I lost against Nite's snake and Tim's ness in losers. Don't ask me for my excuse for Ness, I just don't know. Timo Is pro. Nite was high on sleep-deprivation and we all know that makes him super-skilled at smash whenever he is.
Playing melee will not only increase your technical skill in brawl. Because of the pace, after playing an intense match in Melee with a ton of mindgames, you'll go to brawl and just ****. Not because of the experience per se, but because it's easier doing anything in slo-mo. lol
Its like playing intense cross-training. Play a game against Ronaldino to get ready for your pee-wee soccer game. Yes I went there. I've said it before, but the problem is you don't play gay. Sure you camp with snake, but that isn't even the tip of the iceburg.
I can't even watch pro brawl vids anymore. They always go to within 30- seconds of the end-timer and they're boring and gay as hell to watch. Flaco chain grabs, spams lasers. Metaknihgt spams himself. Snkae tilts.
Brawl at the highest level is mostly shielding, spotdodging, and sometimes rolling or using moves with little to no punishability. This isn't anyone's fault. The game just rewards defensive tactics way too much while focusing on giving no offensive tactics or possibilities. (Except to pick metaknight).
The fact that hitstun doesn't exist, nor shieldstun, and repetitive projectile domination makes or breaks several character match-ups in and of themselves.
Despite all this, brawl is still fun to play- as long as you pretend you can't airdodge, trash talk a TON, and pause the game to punch someone or do push ups regularly. That is all.
That said, You're definitely not that bad. I agree that you just want to play more people. Come to a smashfest/over to me house and you'll get some good practice in.
edit: NP zen, just promise me you'll rematch me with jiggs..... I can tell you're on fire nowadays
Was that directed toward me specifically? As in, I don't play gay? I know I don't. I hate Metaknight, I despise spammy Falcos and Pits, I hate camping, etc. Bryce lost his first match to a girl who went by Peachy who did nothing but camp and spam arrows. Lamest win ever... There was about an entire minute spent with him spot dodging and her spamming at him...but the problem is you don't play gay. Sure you camp with snake, but that isn't even the tip of the iceburg.
Well, for one Alex, I haven't lived in Westminster for almost 2 months nowIm down to play some melee or brawl over this break... if any one wants to get me *cough* sam *cough* so we can do anything pm for my cell oir if you have it *cough* sam *cough* text me
amen.The fact that hitstun doesn't exist, nor shieldstun, and repetitive projectile domination makes or breaks several character match-ups in and of themselves.

I wasn't at the tourney today, but just as a little advice about your anxiety: try to go into every tournament with an I'm gonna kick some *** mentality. You'd be surprised how much being in a positive mindstate can affect your gameplay. Also in every match try to set goals for yourself. For example: I main marth in melee and in tournaments a lot of the time i would set goals to space my attacks perfectly so i don't get shield grabbed and not be predictable. If your mind is focused on the goals you are trying to accomplish, its not focused on your anxiety. Just tryin to help cuz when i first started to try playing competitively i had the same problem myself, so I know what its like.Hey there! It was nice meeting some of you today, I had a lot of fun, and learned that I really need to figure out a way to calm myself down in tournaments, lol. like, I won a fair amount of friendlies, but in the tournament matches I'd just panic and make lots of mistakes, lol. during one of my matches my pulse was going so fast i could feel my heart beating in my FACE. yes, i could. It was very distracting. That being said, good matches to all of you who i played today! hopefully i can get over my competition anxiety soon .
haha, no idea. that's part of the reason i made that post, cause I want to know who is who, lol.Lulz was it Steve?
I am so pissed I couldn't go. I want to see everyone at Wasabi!!!!!
