Do you have any smash "curses"?

[Lotusclaw8]

Can never win as Olimar or Meta Knight

 

[Lotusclaw8]

Can never win when playing Meta Knight somehow

 

[Networker1]

Oh, I almost forgot: Cant. Beat. CPU. Wario. I don't get it. Also, I am terrible at playing as meta knight

 

[Rioni]

I always die whenever I'm facing ROB in the Mario Bros. stage in All-Star Mode.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I am terrible at playing as meta knight

What is this I don't even...

 

[GreenMunchkin]

My curse is being unable to 4-stock a level 1 CPU in Project M. Seriously. I always SD at least once. #fml

Also, the mere notion of getting a functioning Hammer (aka not Golden Sqeaky/head falls off) escapes me.

 

[Ulti-Bman]

Three of them: One, Level 9 CPU Zelda is an absolute monster. Two, I never understand the proficiency of Meta Knight. Even though he is supposedly God-Tier, I'm able to use other characters much better than him. Three, I can never seem to zap myself into the direction I actually want to be rocketed from. I always end up doing a suicide even though I can easily hit Ness with PK Thunder. There are probably more curses I have too, but I haven't played Brawl in about a week so I forget.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

I don't believe in curses. For instance, I had a long history of dying to Frigate Orpheon flipping, and I decided I'd had enough. So I went into training mode and dropped about half an hour just watching it flip and moving my character around to test how it interacted. I grew to understand how it worked, and I no longer had that problem and thus went from having a "bad stage" to another stage on which I could play with confidence.

If you can identify a specific, narrow weakness you have, you should be able to address it and improve upon it. Being able to recognize those flaws in your play is the first step to becomming a better player; taking action to correct them is number two. Just continue on the road!

 

[Stenton]

Lil' Mac is always against me. I never get his assist trophy but when someone else gets the trophy, they will receive him and he will ALWAYS find me and K.O. me.

Also, never beaten a CPU Olimar.

 

[Luco]

You wanna hear my Smash Curse!
















LUCAS..........................

You know we love you mario players...

Love beating you up and trolling with PSI magnet.

@Ampharos: I know what you mean - but I think of curses as like little habits you get into. When we say curse, although the implication of the word implies it can't be fixed, the implication of what people usually seem to mean here is that it's just a habit they always fall into that they haven't been bothered to look into enough to fix, or something they just decide to laugh at instead. I have one, for instance, that I could fix if I put enough time to it - but to be honest I can't be bothered.

And that's that if i'm ever actually playing on Spear Pillar (hey don't let that discourage you, i've played that stage in a proper tournament set! It was using the gentleman's clause though because the other team didn't care about their placing anymore BUT STILL! :D) and the stage mirrors itself, I almost always fail trying to recover using PK Thunder. Most people just have to press it in the opposite direction but us PK kid users have to ROLL it in the complete opposite direction which just feels SOOOO wrong.



EDIT: Also, my apologies for spoiling the fun - but I get the sneaky suspicion this topic isn't really meant to be in the smash 4 boards.

 

[Orngeblu]

Not wanting to main Meta Knight.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

I don't, but back in Middle School I had a friend who always seemed to make things explode(in-game) when he played.

 

[Curious Villager]

In Brawl, every single item I touch blows up on me. Every. Single. Item!

Even Mr. Saturn!

 

[mygamecube]

I cannot stand level 9 G&W on Brawl. It's basically playing against a human for me. I barely scrap out victories.

Lacking a sense of humor is a terrible curse to bear.

 

[SuperBrawler]

My curse is not having a curse.

 

[Waver]

- Always losing miserably in the Mario Bros stage because of the freakin' gimmick...
- In Melee, I can never do a Onett match without hitting at least one car.
- Always in a taunt-party group that spams Final Destination or Temple.

 

[Xman321]

In My Game, someone always wins.

 

[grizby2]

everytime someone throws an item, I have the irresistible urge to try and catch it, and im GOOD at it too, but it makes me so predictable! doesn't matter what it is: bomb-omb, turnips, starfox fox bombs, bananas.... I just HAVE to catch'em all! (pokeballs too...)

 

[Tybis]

I've never been able to DI out of Halberd's laser. Not once. Not in basic Brawl, not in Brawl-, not in PM.

 

[WoapGang]

Playing against a Capt. Falcon/ Samus team. Computer or Human. i just can't do it.

 

[Keeshu]

1. Being too good to play against anyone I know (I've even had a few 1v3 matches too, makes me feel awesome for the first few matches, but it feels one sided and boring after a while), but probably not good enough to compete in any tournament (I wouldn't know where to look for local tournaments anyways). CPUs are a bit too predictable, they get boring after a while. The best matches are when you have someone of equal skill, I've only been able to fight one person for less than an hour that was like that (marth vs mario, whoever played marth always won, just barely though)
2. Whenever I get into the mode to play Super Smash Bros. games, people always drag me to go play some other game instead.
3. Explosive crates/Barrels seem to love spawning on top of me just after I start up a smash attack with high percentage whenever I have them activated.
4. I always get bad luck when I try to use a move that is luck based (Game and watch's side b, peaches turnips for example)

 

[Toxicroaker]

I like having matches where the only item on is pokeball and it is on high... the only pokemon I EVER get is goldeen, munchlax, or gardivoar and my opponent always gets friggin' kyoger... KYOGER!!!

Mario is a low-tier in Brawl. That's why I suck at fighting Lucas or Ness or any of those little brats.. No offense

 

[SmasherMaster]

Whenever I play Captain Falcon and try to use a Falcon Punch, a bomb spawns right above me

 

[Crap-Zapper]

Against the Yoshi Team!? C'mon, man!

Only when I play on Emulator lol

 

[lint789]

I will always start losing every match when I use Sonic. Whether I win or lose at the end is irrelevant, I ALWAYS start off losing badly.

 

[Niko Mar]

Whenever I play Brawl against the CPU, everything is fine. But whenever my friend and I are playing all kinds of ridiculous **** happens and the TV starts to flicker to a black screen wtf. It feels like the game is gonna break at any moment, we are probably pushing it to its physical limits or something lol.

 

[XenothiumX]

1. I can never execute Captain Falcon's final smash properly when playing against human players ( It's hard enough getting the smash ball with Falcon)
2. I have never killed anyone with Mario's FLUDD down special (It is the most worthless move ever!)
3. A Bomb-omb will always spawn right on top of me while getting down to the last 15 enemies or so in 100 man Brawl
4. I always get hit with the Soccer ball when playing as Diddy Kong
5. The big fish in the Summit stage always gets me when I play as King Dedede
6. when playing against the CPU the dragon parts will get knocked out of me in one hit, but I have to fully KO the CPU just to collect the parts if they pick them up.
7. Each time me and my friends get together to play smash I will get hit by the home run bat at least once before the night is over.
8. Mr. Resetti is 10x more likely to appear when I play with my friends
9. I will die while carlessly using King Dedede's up special at least once per match when fighting against my friends and they always laugh
10. When ever I play against an experienced Lucas player on either of the Pokemon stadium stages they always go to the edge of the stage and use his up special to direct an electrifying Lucas across the ground of the stage. Each time they do this I always end up in his path. ( I know this one is specific, but this is why I hate Lucas)

 

[Delgado]

ssb64: ness priority
banjo kazooie: THAT jiggy from rusty bucket bay

 

[Luco]

So were Lucas and Ness, for a while.

Lucas hasn't even technically risen in terms of placement. He's just grouped with low mid now instead of low tier. ^^

 

[MarioAnIke]

Only when I play on Emulator lol

Oh. Emulators. They did release SSB64 on Virtual Console, and trust me, it is SOOOO easy.

 

[MarioAnIke]

Another smash curse of mine. Whenever I transform into Giga Bowser I just fall of the stage.

I really don't find tier lists accurate. Gannondorf is the lowest of the low, but I can never beat him on Project M.

 

[Metalbro]

I always have to get a new controller after playing these games for a bit.

 

[MarioAnIke]

I don't. Well, in some games I get so ticked off that I throw the Wiimote.

 

[peeup]

My curse is that every time I don't forward that chain mail, Consuela kills another one of my relatives.
