Guys, guys! Hey guys!

Me thinks I've hit a wall. I'm not progressing and understanding how to handle situations correctly. I've got some mad habits going on, and it's not helping me in anyway.

How do I get better?

Recognize your habits. Then, start one at a time. Your friendlies will now be testing for you. You will work on not doing or applying what you need, one at a time. Doing multiple things at a time, for example not rolling and a certain AT, will frustrate you and you will not see progress as you want, and not as fast. Next becomes the most important thing. You now observe the whole match. What happens, what is bait, what are the feint attacks, what are the baits, when to go in and when to run away, offense, defense, defense used as an offense and offense used as defense, how matches progress, momentum gained, and more importantly, keeping a cool, mental, always adapting mindset as much as possible.
All this is the beginning to improvement. One at a time, you recognize, you apply, you improve, and you repeat. All of this will eventually fall into categories known as reactive and proactive. Reactive play is the defense and the defensive play used as offense. Good power shielding, shielding, dodges, and spacing will score you damage. Proactive is the offense and the offense used as defense. Baiting, reads, mix ups fall into this side. In the example of diddy, this is when you work for the trips, as opposed to using punishing trips for damage.
There is no one way to improve. Multiple things work for different people, as does the vice versa. But it's good that you recognize what you have, and in that, you've already progressed mentally as a player who knows his weakness.

A warrior who knows his faults knows no weakness.

Been working on my Wario/Charizard :)

Two Charizards have a chain grab between them in teams, this we've already discovered.....

No show likes to call it the "charcoal" combo, did it on Halberd.

Thanks Disqo! That helped. Except my controller broke. Again. 5th one this year! I have the WORST luck with controllers. They never do everything and eventually just stop working all together.

One day..... I WILL GET A GOOD ONE!!

Get girl's number
Finally a girl who makes an effort to see me
She enjoys my company

But she realizes she actually doesn't want a relationship because of an apparently rough recent breakup.

...
Someone teach me to be gay, please. History shows I'd have more luck that way.

I know. It's weird. It feels like the sticks have to travel much farther to hit the edge. Maybe they're longer, I don't know. And the shield buttons are ontop. So I switched them! :D

I think it may help me though. I think more about my inputs more now so I'm not just aimlessly mashing buttons. Still gotta get used to it though. :/

Also, on one of my exams today the teacher made 4 different sets of exams to discourage cheating. Instead of calling them just Test A, B, C... she gave them a letter and a number. My exam just happened to be called Test D3 and it absolutely destroyed me, no joke.

I love you guys.

I basically put it bluntly for her-- friendship was just a part of what I had in mind, and even hanging out with her as friends, I'd be hoping something would change, because that mindset is hard for a guy to lose.
She appreciates my honesty, and we're going to keep hanging out.

I wonder how long it will take....


LOL NEON I'm so sorry, bro. =\

I'm donating blood (possibly with special guest Disqo?) early afternoonish in Denton. When will your fest be?

Brett, if you know the answers to these questions about her, you can know what type of girl she is and how to woo her. Yeah, I said it; wooooooooooo!

Anyway, here are the questions:

1. What makes her happy in life and make her feel fulfilled?

2. What is the one thing she would need if trapped on a deserted island?

3. How will she feel when she achieves her greatest goal?

If you know the answers, spill it, and I'll tell you what type of girl she is, and what is the best way to approach her.

Other questions to consider:

1. What gender are most of her friends? Male? Female?

2. How does she feel about sex in general? Is she open to it? Or reserved about it?

3. How does she feel about relationships in general? Does she need to be taken care of? Or can she handle herself and be more independent?
