Connecticut Player Finder: We're better than you <3

[Cort]

I bet it's gone forever already and in the form of powder in Jim's nose. Too bad he doesn't know it's just baking soda.

I think I'm going to a NY tourny this Saturday with ZoSo.

 

[SPAWN]

I wanna play people this weekend and try out V's advice since it's not possible to try it against comps. I'll see you this weekend, hopefully, Aiser.

 

[Aesir]

Probably spawn, I was gonna start attending oos tournys, but I have no moniez atm

*applys at subway this week*

 

[shminkledorf]

Aiser should apply at subway as a professional eater. Instant money and infinite food?

 

[NusCirtap]

So anyone else wanna come for the anime fun on Sunday. ^_^ We could just have a mini smash fest there... Blue said he's going and I have a 50+% chance of going.

GL Cort/Zoso!

lol at the amount of people saying they'll kick my *** now on aim. Nobody believes in my asian training methods.

 

[Aesir]

I really wanna spam this topic.

anyway LAWL WHO IZ NUZ?! MM NUB FALCO FALCO SUX MY LINK IZ 2 GUD MM MY CREW

 

[_milktea]

Blah most of the anime folks are really irritating.

 

[Brookman]

way to stay on topic.

I played smash with jorge today, we are both from CT.

 

[Cort]

I don't have work this Thursday if anyone wants to play.

I think Lil was referring to the anime people Nus is referring to. Spammers.

Hahaha I think they don't realize that you probably weren't in beast mode last time they played you.

Now me on the other hand...I can actually kick your ***, but that's just because my Falco > Nus' >.> obviously.

God, I wish I could actually play this game well.

 

[Brookman]

God, I wish I could actually play this game well.

Agreed. I need to figure out/remember how to play smart.

 

[Tope]

Move to VA/MD?

 

[Cort]

Why move to MD/VA when you live an hour away from PC or another hour away from KDJ?

MD/VA is mediocre central.

So I was just reading this article for a class, it happened to be written by an autistic person and it was very interesting, but anyway, back to the point...so at one point he was talking about musicians and how there have been studies and visualizing yourself practicing and doing techniques improves your motor skills just as much as practicing (and more so than just hitting random notes).

Being a musician, I found this extremely interesting, but yeah relative to smash, I figured it could be used the same way. Thinking about smash a lot can make you better and is probably better than mindlessly practicing tech skill. Just thought I'd throw it out there. I actually do this a lot; I think it works for me. I use to use it for hockey and every other sports I played as well.

Now if only I could stop using it for smash and use it for music or something more practical.

This has been V's (not so) Helpful Hint of the Day!

*croud cheering* Gotta love autistic and dyslexic people, they're the smartest people in the world.

 

[NusCirtap]

I've been doing mind training like this forever and have talked about it with people. >_>

 

[Solid Jake]

I found i play best with doughnuts stuffed in my mouth.

Nus. so you may be going on the 11th? it looks like i shall indeed be there.

 

[_milktea]

How interesting, mindlessly practicing tech is basically the one thing I don't do.

And yay for being in Connecticut, we have FRIENDLY, and not too *exclusive*, nice Smashers. And yay for living 2 hours away from PC! *Going to leech Smash training out of him during February hopefully ^_~.*

 

[Solid Jake]

no smashboards at school milk, you get an F for the day.

But agreed. CT wins.

 

[Cort]

That article is pretty interesting. After thinking about it for a little, I do actually think about myself playing but I'm not sure if it actually makes me better, or if it's better than mindlessly practicing. But it does sort of mentally prepare me for when I actually play.

Thinking during a match too much is pretty detrimental. You'll end up messing up and not reacting quickly enough to actually do anything good. I think in the end, it's just your experience that pulls you through matches without thinking too much.

lol @ croud

edit// 2222 post!

 

[_V_]

Woo I am glad people though it was interesting.

KishPrime posted in the FC thread and mentioned something about Melee being officially off the MLG circuit...is that true?

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=95892&page=2

 

[squaminator]

its partially true v.

MLG has big plans for Smash in 2007. Over the last three years, Major League Gaming has helped the Smash community develop high standards of quality for major tournaments and pushed the game to new levels of competitive play. MLG will continue that tradition in 2007 with a new approach to competitive Smash that will take place outside of the Pro Circuit. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for details.

 

[Cort]

There's still going to be Melee tournaments sponsored by MLG, just not at the same time/place as their "pro circuit" with Halo 2.

I know more details but I don't think I'm supposed to say >_>

AKA they don't care about smash and lame.

 

[Cort]

I think it's kind of nice to get seperated from Halo, and what they're doing now is good too. They could have dropped smash altogether.

 

[Brookman]

they just decided that smash was a waste of big checks, so they dropped it from the pro circuit.

 

[Cort]

Those gigantic checks are magnificent. *got to touch PC's giant throbbing one*

 

[Tope]

Why move to MD/VA when you live an hour away from PC or another hour away from KDJ?

MD/VA is mediocre central.

I can accept that.

PC and KDJ are too funny.

 

[Cort]

I'm glad you took that in a way unlike uh.. you know. Chillin.

He has to be joking though.

He's so witty!

 

[Nite]

*got to touch PC's giant throbbing one*

Never before have I been so jealous.

 

[squaminator]

Oh wells!

 

[_milktea]

<3 Cort for nomination .

hehe pc's throbbing one..what? check? yeah of course

and dont worry guys mlg will make it up to us =]

 

[shminkledorf]

No they won't, be realistic. >_>. I want to play with someone?

 

[Cort]

Stop by on Thursday, I don't have work.

Also, bring your braces.

 

[shminkledorf]

YOu may not have work, but I still have school.

 

[NusCirtap]

I might stop by at like a little after 6pm but most likely not... but be prepared.

 

[Cort]

No ****ing johns.

Sounds good. If you can bring an extra controller you won't mind not having for a few days.

 

[_milktea]

Oh they will Dorf. Besides, who gives a flying ****? MLG's are so strict and ****, they're fun to go to, but with them gone we can save our money for better OOS tournaments.
