Okay, I know that my first Smashfest did not go so well thanks in large part to no one showing up, but I'm willing to give it another shot so clear your calenders.

My next smashfest will be on May 14th at 6 PM.

The Particulars

Address:

114 Brookshire Ave.
Azle, TX 76020

Special Directions?

YES! Due to the construction in my area, here are directions to actually get to my place:

From 820: Get off at TX-199 Jacksbroro Hwy. West (if you see a Shell station on the right, you are going the wrong way) and follow it out of Lake Worth. After that you will hit the construction area at Nine Mile Bridge Rd(there will be a gas station on the left). Keep going on 199 past the next red light at Tenderfoot Trail. After that on 199, you will come upon a bridge overhead. Take the very next right. Take the next right pulling on the road, you will essencially make a U-turn onto the bridge that you passed. At the light, go straight until the road that you are on(Normady Rd.) dead ends. Turn right. Take the next street on the right. There will be a church on the left. That is 114 Brookshire. Pull into the church and head for the rear. You will see a house on the rear. My apartment is to the rear of that, but you can knock on the front door of the first house to get my attention.

Rules:
1. No Beer. You may smoke, but do it outside.

Okay guys, here's the deal.

As most of you know, I've been maining Snake since April of '08-ish.

Since then, I've shown only little improvement, which makes me very disappointed in myself. Hell I never considered myself part of the Smash community until Phase 2. I usually get dead last at tournemnts, with the exception of Phase 5 were I managed to advance one set in the Losers' Bracket.

I don't feel as if I'm smart enough, nor fast enough with Snake. I know alot of tips and tricks, but for some reason it's hard for me to actually incorporate them into my gameplay. I'm predictable, I suck at reading my opponent, I suck at mindgames. Hell, I have to admit, I think I suck at Smash altogether.

On occasion, I play ALSM's Snake. He's incredible with him, I'm not gonna lie. Thinks fast, clever, etc. I always ask myself, "Why the **** can't I be like that? Snake isn't even his main for God's sake." Admittedly, sometimes I try to mimmick what he does but fail at it horribly.

My camp game is terrible, my up close game is terrible, my Snake is terrible.

So I've been thinking, if I go to both Phase 8 and Hobo 24 and don't place any higher than last place, I might drop Snake as my main.

Or quit Smash (competitively) altogether.
Do you play a secondary? If not, you should seriously consider doing so.

okay awesome link i'll come to those. :D just let me know. i could prolly bring a setup also. <3 text me when that **** happens, 405-923-7133

@ kovu. what you could do to help you learn how to camp and space better would be to fight any level 9 CPU with infinite time and having a handicap on of 300%. play with the mindset of never ever putting yourself in situations where you can get hit but also train to be able to still deal out damage and kill. m2k lee martin and many other top players use this, it builds the ultimate patience while teaching you spacing. since you already know the techniques you should do well.

lets go go go fortworth!

This is a short notice, but smashfest at my place from now until waaaay past midnight. Seriously, I have all night and morning. So far I know that O.T.L. (remember him?) and his cousin will be showing up. Also, Kovu might be attending as well. Address and rules can be found on the OP under the name ALSM.

I would say don't give up, but if this is how you feel, experiment with different chars. Regardless, I feel Snake is your true main. I'm curious as to what other character you would choose (Diddy I'm assuming). As for Snake, I just find him fun to use, and he is sorta similar to Link, and I'm always trying to learn something new, and I esp. learned a few things just by playing one set with Ultimate Razer. Meta Knight is another fun char, Idc how broken he can be, he's still fun to play, and it's nice to have a plethora of safe options for once....and a recovery.... lol

My advice to you would be to use different chars not for tournament, but to learn from them and incorporate that to your main. Like for spacing, I use Jigglypuff or Wario, and for baiting I'll use someone like Ike or Ganondorf. Start using other chars more to learn from them. Also using other characters can help with matchups with your main; try to get in the "mindset" of that character, so you know what works well or horrible against that character. It's why I'll use Meta knight and snake sometimes in friendlies as well as other characters.

Yeah, ALSM has a point, maybe if you played as everyone, you might get to know their ins and outs a little better so you could not only understand your character better but you could understand how to face those characters. I use just about every character except Olimar. It's prolly why he wrecks me. Him and Luigi.

Smashfest was great. Guest appearances by Denti, Batou, O.T.L., Jesus (O.T.L.'s cousin), and Kovu. I'm going to be hosting more of these. Overnight smashfest ftw. Overall, we played from like 9PM last night to 9AM this past morning (Well we did take an overnight snack break at Jack in the Box and McDonald's) I'll have some vids uploaded including doubles and singles. Some of these matches were too crazy. I think we can learn a lot from each other and we're going to get better. =) Kovu did super well in doubles, though he did show up way later (work johns).

understandable johns
lol.

Also, I will start adding selected videos from each Smashfest and post them under the respective names in the OP. They'll change weekly/bi-weekly.

Just for fun.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!

SrsC@'s SrsSmashfest!

What time!? After 12:00 Noon!!
When does it end!? 12:00 Midnight!!!
Where in the hell is it!? 2524 Ridgmar Blvd, Apt. 4 on the west side of Fort Worth
From I-30 go north on Ridgmar Blvd. and turn left into the Ridgmar Square Apts. All the way in the back and on the left in the Colonial Building.
Why show up? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over how awesome I am...
Who should I call if I'm confused? SrsC@: 682-557-8740

Rules:
Wobbles Rule: In the event that a TV has four or more players, when a player defeats all players on said TV, they give up their controller to the most recent loser.

BYOF: Drinks and food are entirely dependent on the guests, I'm a stingy jerk!! Local Restaurants include: Arby's, Wendy's, Whataburger, stuff in Ridgmar Mall, and Taco Bueno.

BYOC: Everyone is required to bring their own controllers since most other players aren't keen on loaning theirs out. This also prevents controller johns.

"I liked SrsC@'s SrsSmashfests so much, I joined a moose lodge and groped an old lady." - Veri Srs Person.

BE THERE!!!

SrsSmashfest subject to cancellation at any time within the next week for any reason. Please RSVP with SrsC@ so he can gauge how much of a mess he'll be cleaning up. No lag johns on the big screen; life's too short for johns. No purchase necessary; void where prohibited. Srsly.

Ok I have a ride. Is anybody else going or is it just going to be me?

EDIT: Ugh. Scratch that. My ride has no money for gas and I'm broke. I will be at Phase 8 though so I'll see you guys there.

EDIT2: Wont be at phase 8 either since my ride refuses to stay until midnight while I play.

I'm going to start keeping tabs on this thread. I really need to start playing more often, which will be easier once school is out.

Besides, Ft. Worth peoples are cool. :)
