Dreamland Only Apex Discussion

[Fireblaster]

the reason is...

Melee

falcon=yesz

how do you quote random stuff?
(i.e. randomguy said: yesz)

 

[Shears]

I would 0-death myself if I ever played melee

 

[FalconOwnage]

my main is Samus and this is illegal

aha

 

[Shears]

I would blow @ Shears because his main is Samus

@ FalconOwnage should be banned for derailing this entire section of SB by talking about Melee.

 

[FalconOwnage]

this is starting to get awkward

this is weird tho

What the hell is that thing? I don't recognize it from 64. Stop spamming our threads with your nonsense and derailing thread topics into melee discussions and asking people to go check out your own threads. Please, somebody, for the love of god, permaban this guy.

 

[FalconOwnage]

What the hell is that thing? I've never heard of Smash4.

Back on topic then.
Dreamland should not be the only competitive stage. The other stages have stage hazards, but they are predictable and avoidable.

(sorry for the off topic stuff, @ Shears , I thought we were joking around at first)

 

[Shears]

The current ruleset used at large tournaments includes other stages as counter picks. For the most part, the hazards are predictable but ideally we want to minimize them and thats the point of moving to DL only. In addition, these additional hazards make some characters worse and others better and are unnecessarily forcing a game 3.

When it comes to melee, that is never a joke around here. We are here because we don't like melee, if we did we would be in the melee boards.

Is there a main reason why 64 players don't like melee, besides the reduced hitstun?

Also, Dreamland only could be possible, but that would be like saying in Melee you can only have Battlefield only. FD is unbalanced and favors chaingrabs, Fountain has moving platforms, Stadium has wall infinites, Dreamland has wind, and Yoshi's has Randall. This post is not off topic. I'm not salty, just wondering about why you guys disregard Melee. I like Melee, but I also like Smash64. They are both great games.

 

[Shaya]

Maybe ask for some opinions privately rather then derailing this. Responses you get here will likely be unforgiving.

 

[SheerMadness]

There are plenty of 64 players that like melee too.

Psychological nerfing is a real thing. Its like superstition, it doesn't actually possess anything that makes it better but it gives the person reassurance and helps them feel comfortable. I would lose my focus if I wasn't blue hat pika because I would have to continually remind myself that I was ugly green hat instead of focusing on the match at hand. Same can happen for people that prefer dark samus or black falcon.

Man you need to read this book http://www.amazon.ca/The-Inner-Game-Tennis-Performance/dp/0679778314
I feel like if you practiced with all pika hats or focused on other things during practice, this example of psychological nerfing wouldnt exist for you anymore
cheers

edit: you all should read this book. it's about overcoming mental lapses during high pressure situations in any competitive setting

doctor pp also recommended that book

doctor pp also had to stop going to tournies for a while cause of psychological issues
and also stated that he himself was the biggest challenge when playing

better not read anything and drink beer like mango

 

[Sedda]

idk i think you just shouldnt read that book because ping pong is better.

ty.

 

[Shears]

I had a beer with mango at Apex, he seemed fine. The real danger was the marth waveshine combo that turned him into a father.

I'm not surprised that he recommended that book, it's pretty popular actually. An old foosball pro from Vancouver lent me his copy with the idea that I need to practice with the intention of putting myself in pressured situations to replicate in game situations. For example to hit 20 long pull shots in a row and not stopping until I do 20 consecutively. You'd be amazed how high pressure this can be when you're sitting at 18 in a row and you don't wanna **** up the last two.
This totally applies to smash and tennis and every thing really. Go read it!

 

[Shears]

Probably a great book to read, and you have me considering to read it. But, why should everyone go buy and read a book when we can just get rid of congo?

But yeah **** Congo tbh

digital books have hotlinks. how great is that

and yeah I read a bit of the tennis book, but I stopped playing so I stopped reading it

A positive attitude and strong mentality go a long way when playing Smash, especially if you have goals you want to accomplish through competitive play.

Is there a compelling reason not to have modded/hazardless stages (GS or modded ROM) for tourneys?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm relatively new to the SB64 online community.

I don't want to have them because not everyone who enters tournaments knows its possible to play on them or has the desire to buy a gameshark to play on them. I don't think its fair to force people to buy a GS or play online to be able to practice on these stages.

 

[Olikus]

I don't think its fair

Life aint fair bro
