oh **** dude, really sorry to hear thattwo of my family members in mexico just got assassinated by a drug cartel. i'm pretty shaken
First off, I did not argue with anyone anything. All I said was that I am interested in really giving SF more of a solid chance and everyone decided to comment.stuff
i lol'dTL DR; garret just likes to type words....kinda like apporaching that 5th-6th hour of a smashfest where you are kinda tired and wanna stop(however you dont stop) but just wanna press buttons and see things happen on screen.
garrett its never what u say, its how u say it. if u'da just said " i wanna play ssf4 ish looks fun and a change of pace from melee" that'd be cool. but u said way more than that, hence the flame.First off, I did not argue with anyone anything. All I said was that I am interested in really giving SF more of a solid chance and everyone decided to comment.
Why are you bothering analyzing something that did not mean to be analyzed? You basically said, "Let me figure out all the problems in what garretts personal reasons are for wanting to get into SF and see if I see them as legitimate."
Wow Garrett I am now convinced that you fully understand Smash at high levels of play, I tip my hat to you.I said character and music/level diversity and the fact that I want to learn more about match ups other than "space fair and grab" "u throw to uair" "dair to shine or neu b" " d throw to fair"
Did you ignore the part where Swift said your posts are stupid and not worth responding to? Seriously, did you?Do what Swift said, Stop.
ahh, i'm very sorry to hear about that. one of the people that was supposed to ride with me to HERB 3 had to stay behind because his grandmother had escaped from a village that was under attack just in time and flew to GA. she was quite shaken.two of my family members in mexico just got assassinated by a drug cartel. i'm pretty shaken
o my b.MUST BE ' its '!!!
idk... sometimes problem solving is solved by ignoring the causesleepy I hate to see you waste quotes/energy on garrets post. Every time I make a long post addressed to him I start to think whether it was worth it or not(usually not, thats why i stopped a while back). At least use your skills where its worth it as opposed to using it against a school of thought that has clearly shown no intention of considering or evening taking anything from an opposing school of thought.
TL DR; you should let him post opinionated and/or stupid stuff. If everyone ignores it then he'll probly go do real life stuff instead of mentioning that he does in every argument he gets into on boards that ultimately reflects and/or demonstrates his lack of knowledge about the community and competitive gaming etc.
TL DR; garret just likes to type words....kinda like apporaching that 5th-6th hour of a smashfest where you are kinda tired and wanna stop(however you dont stop) but just wanna press buttons and see things happen on screen.
TL DR; garrets statements are not worth the effort and time sleepy
my condolence, you have them.
PERSONAL REAZSONSFirst off, I did not argue with anyone anything. All I said was that I am interested in really giving SF more of a solid chance and everyone decided to comment.
Why are you bothering analyzing something that did not mean to be analyzed? You basically said, "Let me figure out all the problems in what garretts personal reasons are for wanting to get into SF and see if I see them as legitimate."
I said character and music/level diversity and the fact that I want to learn more about match ups other than "space fair and grab" "u throw to uair" "dair to shine or neu b" " d throw to fair" every single match and not have to use something else in my characters moveset. SF offers this diversity and it attracts me to the game.
Do what Swift said, Stop.
thanks, trade.i lol'd
garrett its never what u say, its how u say it. if u'da just said " i wanna play ssf4 ish looks fun and a change of pace from melee" that'd be cool. but u said way more than that, hence the flame.
no flame, just makin an observation
He might be my favorite, yeah. Although if I'm honest with myself I might think Miyazaki is my favorite... he's certainly the greatest living director. There are some young directors who are incredibly exciting, though... I am really looking forward to spending my life enjoying new Edgar Wright, Paul Thomas Anderson, Chris Nolan and Darren Aronofsky films.Even Eyes Wide Shut? I hear VERY mixed things about that movie. Btw is he your favorite director lol
Sounds like you have a real problem with smash and the smash community. Maybe you should quit. Please.Yes; agreed, but part of going to tournaments is to compete, learn match ups, see what you're doing wrong, etc. If I want to play with friends I'll have my friends come over or have a smashfest. You go to a tournament to see faces yes, but mainly to compete.
I hope you're joking. You really don't like comedies, do you? Thats the whole point of a comedy....to laugh. Not to have an epic storyline or plot.
I'm sure you hate Tommy Boy, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, and Airplane! too?
You're hurting my feelings Seb.
Here we go again w SleepyK looking for things in what I say for flaws.
Smash is deeper than SF...I never said SF was deeper. What I said was is that I'm sick of the same match ups in Melee (fox, Falco, Jigs, Marth, Peach, Falcon, Sheik) because the tiers in Melee are incredibly high tier bandwagon and skewed. I don't want to go to Brawl simply because; well, Brawl gets old REALLY FAST and I don't like camping shield.
I mention different levels in SF because ALL THE LEVELS are tournament viable and I don't have to hear the Dreamland theme song all tournament long and can listen to a good 25 + stages of music as opposed to 5? That was my point.
SF allows players to learn ALL their match ups as opposed to the top five characters because it is more common to run into lower tiers in SF than any smash brothers game, period. Have you seen good Abels? Fei Longs? Cammys? Goukens? I know i've seen more lower tiers in SF than I have in smash brothers. The fact is, the tiers in SF aren't that rigged unless its like Akuma VS Gief, Vega Vs Gief, or Dan VS any high tier.
SF allows the game to be more about match ups and reacting than "well my character can chain grab you to 90% and then fair you in a ditto and you die" (Sheik Dittos)
Melee hacks? People will be over that in like.....two months? Hacks are cool for like two weeks and then you realize, "well, im sick of this song! I want something else." I modded my psp's menu music and opening boot screen and i got bored with it fast. Too much work for something so minimally satisfying. Heck, Spawn has his Wii main menu modded and is incredibly sick of it for proof. Melee hacking is cute, but it gets old. The Falco hack is legit but I'd once again get sick of it.
I don't travel to tournaments because I HAVE A JOB. I make money. I like to make money and not spend it so when I graduate college, I have a place to live and can start a life. With SF, I'll see different mains locally as well. I know two people from my own **** school who play mid to low tiers and are pretty good players. One is a Cammy main and the other is a Blanka. Both, not god or top tier.
Street Fighter is also way more popular and has a bigger fan base than smash brothers can ever dream to have and we all know this to be true.
Basically; the bottom line: I want to play SSF IV because it looks incredibly promising and it looks like all the hype is going to live up to it. I've heard incredible things and I'm really excited to see the new online modes, characters, costumes, and see what was changed and who was buffed etc. There is going to be a whole new level of depth to explore and hopefully we'll have some answers to dealing with Ryu, Sagat, and Akuma.
Do you get legit stubble after a week?Cog, I have been following your sage advise. I suck at shaving on the third day though. I usually let it grow for a week then shave. T_T
UGH that's terrible! Sorry to hear thattwo of my family members in mexico just got assassinated by a drug cartel. i'm pretty shaken

Thanks Jam. <3 I would really love to have a beard however...Marc with a beard sounds incredibly sexy.

Holy **** Alexander I'm so sorry. /goes on aim so we can talk about it and I can try my hardest to make you feel better.two of my family members in mexico just got assassinated by a drug cartel. i'm pretty shaken
unfortunately, i agree word for wordI expect better of you. That video just wasn't funny and I'd like my 5 minutes back.
Garrett even I'm responding to your posts so clearly you said something that really hit a nerve for everyone (not really hit a nerve for me, I just figured I'd address what you said). When have I ever responded to your posts negatively?First off, I did not argue with anyone anything. All I said was that I am interested in really giving SF more of a solid chance and everyone decided to comment.

see, why can't you just post something like this in the first place? do you have to be lambasted just for you to post without showcasing ignorance?Swift-If you want to play SF IV and prep before Super comes out, let me know. I play pretty much every character (aside from Viper, Fuerte, and Rose) and can help you out with things.
I'm extremely knowledgable with
Sagat
Ryu
Akuma
Balrog
Seth
Ken
Fei Long
Cammy
Gen
and Abel
Those are the characters I know the most with. I play pretty much anyone though and am fairly solid with all of them.
In response to my statements before-
Marc-No, I definitely know and acknowledge the aspects of smash that make it the best game we all have seen in years. You've taught me more about the Sheik match up and about this game than most other smashers have. Brookman, Silas, and you definitely take that award. IMO, its the best fighting game ever made (I consider it a fighter, personally) because it breaks out from the traditional fighter and allows each and every player to be incredibly unique
M2K's Sheik is **** off stage...so is yours. XYT's Sheik is amazing on stage.
IB's Marth is combo ****....Kens is pure textbook....Azens is WD fsmash trigger happy
Eggms Fox is stupid out of shield. Swifts Fox just reacts and ***** you.
Darcs spacing with his jigs makes me cry. Hbox reacts. MaNg0's is purely clutch.
Hax's Falcon is tech chase god, Scar is the best combo falcon, Dark Rain is all around
etc. etc.
What I was saying was is I guess I want to explore a new game because the smash scene is getting repetitive for me and I think it's time I switch it up. For as much time as I dedicate to Melee, I'm a fairly solid player. I play like maybe once a week and rarely go to tournaments but over my past 3-4 I've done fairly well and am proud of my performance. Last tourney I lost to Roman (I was upset with this) but beat Spife (Sheik, my least favorite match up) and did a Marth ditto with someone to place 9th. I also almost came back to take a game off Banks after being down 3 stocks to ONE on ****ing DREAMLAND VS HIS SHEIK. I was proud of this. I also got out of round 1 of pools at pound 4 and placed decently at Jams last tournament. I've won most of my money matches lately going even with Awsmsean, beating solar 3-0 our last three mm's and beating irish mafia in a mm at pound 4 as well.
I'm improving and if I'd play more frequently, I'd be better. It is my decision for not particpating more in the community, I know that. I WISH I could go to more things (I guess this is me "complaining" ? LOL) but I think working and making money and spending time with my friends who I dont see much since i've moved is more important. SF will allow me to stay more local than Smash will. I know GOOD SF players in New London (closer than the Vernon/Mass area) who go to tournaments and place well. I will learn much from them and my Ken, Akuma, and other characters have gotten so much better lately because of them.
Let it be known that I'm not saying Smash sucks or anything of the sort or am bashing the smash community. It's like the best game ever. I guess I'm just looking for a bigger, more local setting.
As for comments as to "u throw to u air" etc. That's just a quick joke I put in there. LOL. Please, don't take that seriously.
I know Marth is more than just space fair. For god sakes I've been playing him for more than two years. He's more than just spacing fair. Spacing fair does not work against Ganon and Falcon....you get *****. I was not serious about that and am even surprised Dave thought I was.
HEY I LIKE TO POST THEN AFTERWARDS ACTUALLY EXPLAIN IT BRINGING UP POINTS I NEVER MENTIONED PRIOR. THIS WAY YOU ARE IN THE WRONG RIGHT GUYSIt is my decision for not particpating more in the community, I know that. I WISH I could go to more things (I guess this is me "complaining" ? LOL) but I think working and making money and spending time with my friends who I dont see much since i've moved is more important.
On top of most of ur post being ********, this lil gem made me crack up a bit. I've never seen someone plank more in my life, and unsuccessfully might I add.XYT's Sheik is amazing on stage.
Dammn,, look at this hate. I got nothing against the kid, I guess I just don't see why someone would ever plank/platform camp nonstop in friendlies, but to each his own. I tend to just troll everyone, you shoudl realize this now wes.you played with the dude once and he rubbed you the wrong way, please just get over it Max. It's like every time you hear his name you just need to talk some **** on him even though you've spent maybe, I dunno, an hour or two total playing him ever.
XYT is legitimately good on stage, sorry if you didn't see it in your friendlies with him.
See Garrett, everyone in the CT thread (I should hope!!! I'll **** you up if you don't) respects this post. Before you were bashing Melee and about the music/the game/same stages/same characters were the reason why you were going to switch to SSFIV. That's obviously not the case and you were just trying to find johns that would help justify your cause. If it's because you legitimately just want to try out a new game then that's fine and everyone here is okay with that lol.In response to my statements before-

This is probably a troll part of your post, however I'll address it anyways. I find this kind of insulting. My edge game has been phenomenal for the past year or so and it's kind of widely known within a local area (for people that have heard of me all they know about is my edgeguarding). I have been playing this game so much and learning so much that my onstage game has been improving drastically. I think this is partly because I've been learning Falco hardcore from SleepyK. Watch my newest videos vs Yedi in our money match and tell me my onstage game sucks compares to XYT. Also, you can't say that XYT has a great onstage game when you're comparing M2k and my edgeguarding. M2k has a great everything game. For saying someone that has a great onstage game you should say Nihonjin/KirbyKaze but they also have a great everything game. KK just needs some fine tuning and he'll be a top player in no time. ;P @ KK <3M2K's Sheik is **** off stage...so is yours. XYT's Sheik is amazing on stage.
IB's Marth is combo ****....Kens is pure textbook....Azens is WD fsmash trigger happy
Eggms Fox is stupid out of shield. Swifts Fox just reacts and ***** you.
Darcs spacing with his jigs makes me cry. Hbox reacts. MaNg0's is purely clutch.

etc. etc.
I'm a fairly solid player. Not good, not great, but definite solid. I'll give it to you since you are improving and for YOU personally, you're JUST STARTING to beat people (no offense but you've been losing to a lot of people for a while and in great amounts I think because I drove to your house for a year it helped you drastically and then you started seeking people out since I wasn't catering to your Melee needs).What I was saying was is I guess I want to explore a new game because the smash scene is getting repetitive for me and I think it's time I switch it up. For as much time as I dedicate to Melee, I'm a fairly solid player.

I'm sorry to say but I don't exactly play a ****ton. I'll play probably once a week. I just started going to more tournaments recently (within last month or so) because I've been getting so much progressively better I figure if I stop now I'll stop getting so much better every time I play. I've also only been going locally however (within one hour of my house)... so it's not like I've been going really far out of my way in order to play. Don't try and give me **** that you don't have people to play locally. You have a great group in New York that you can play who are within one hour of you. Also CT is locally starting to become more active for smash in Vernon like 45 minutes to an hour from you. Heck you could learn SSFIV there because there are a lot of great players in that game too. They play ****ing weekly also so have fun. The problem for smashers is that a lot of us are older and do have jobs and do go to school so we have to coordinate it with each other whether it's going to be worth it for people to drive 30mins-an hour away to go or not.I'm improving and if I'd play more frequently, I'd be better. It is my decision for not particpating more in the community, I know that. I WISH I could go to more things (I guess this is me "complaining" ?

I will learn much from them and my Ken, Akuma, and other characters have gotten so much better lately because of them.
This is a good conclusion when you have a bunch of people bashing you for what you earlier said congrats. It's hard to tell when you're serious about your posts because a lot of the time you just act like you're trolling when you are serious or you really were just trolling which gets people not want to even bother with your opinions. I'm only doing this because I know that you will actually listen to me since I NEVER take the time to address long *** posts because I don't feel it's worth my time but I figured with your last couple of posts it was worth my time cuz you're mah boi sometimes bro haha.Let it be known that I'm not saying Smash sucks or anything of the sort or am bashing the smash community. It's like the best game ever. I guess I'm just looking for a bigger, more local setting.
