well, he's not my favorite Marth, definitely not my favorite. But he's not bad either. I only watched the first video, but from what I've seen he really likes to stick with his fairs and fsmash. Not that fairs are a bad thing but he might want to switch it up a bit more and the fsmash was getting a little predictable.

I love it, Drephen can still use a few moves and still dominate. That fact alone makes him worth watching. Thanks for showing me this, Ankoku.

Argh, rolls too much, uses f-smash too much, needs to space a lot better, needs to learn how to space his fairs (it only got shielded once, but he kept going forwards, not a good idea), he needs to spotdodge....

Need I go on?

The reason he won was because his opponent was poor as well.

Oh hey Drephen, ya he wasn't very good (your opponent). He spammed Bair as G&W a lot. And I think everyone else pretty much summed it up, you should use more moves and spot dodge more. But you are pretty good for sure.

That G&W.... >< soooo predictable. If he was above you he always d-aired, he missed a bunch of RARs, used u-tilt, no d-tilt, etc.

The Marth at least he had the basic tactics down. He could work on spacing yada yada but it's harder at a tournament.

Is there some kind of an inside joke going on here? this guy Drephen has no sense of spacing whatsoever, or the concept of punishable attacks. who the hell dodge rolls in front of their opponent to attack them?? Do you play like this purposely Drephen? it was weird, at times you showed signs of being a knowledgeable marth and at other times you looked like a first time noob.

wow are you brawl players are arrogants *******s

i know the thread isnt "help me with my marth" or "rate my marth" but saying, "hey you suck" doesnt do anything

people said my shiek was garbage in melee cause i onyl used 3 moves? Oh yeah? Guess who i bet with those 3 moves?

m2k,azen,pc,chillin,dashizwiz,forward,dope,darkrain,tink,the king, bombsolider, etc etc etc

you dont need to be flashy to win, if you dont know that then you will never become good at this game


and all you ****ers saying "more spacing! more spacing!" you know what that really means? Camping. F-air gay *** m2k camping. And that what makes brawl so hard to play when you noobs start to camp with every god **** character

i dont play brawl much but i would be glad to money match any of you talk **** and the next big tournament we are at

Look, I don't think people were just looking to tear you apart, but somebody held you up as an example to the community, which inevitably means that your style will get critiqued.


The fact is, your style is highly dependant on mindgames as opposed to technical ability, it IS sloppy, that is a statement of truth, so holding you up as an example for the community is probably not a good idea, since videos and text cannot teach mindgames, so it only encourages technical sloppyness.


It's not your fault this came up, so I feel bad that you got those comments, still, they are the truth.


BTW for marth... spacing is not "camping", it's just the opposite, it's what makes his rushdown successful, because it allows you to attack without being punished, unlike most chars who are forced to rely on "waiting till their opponent attacks andpunishing them".

Sure, fair is part of it, but so are the titls, and bair.

lol Drew spacing is not camping. Spacing can lead to camping but I use spacing so I don't get punished on block.

You don't need to list who you've beat any decent player knows you're good. Melee players are better Brawl players than most Brawl players ><

7 WISE WORDS

1.Space your Spaceing, mainly for the it allows you to Space more.

2.Make a tent and Camp in it.(it's Quite fun)

3.Why so Serious?

4.You need to be flashy to win that's why pros like Richard simmons top 8 so much.

5.Any thing's Possible-Kevin garnett

6.???

7.Profit!!!

What flames?

There were pragmatic remarks, and plenty of them, but no flames.

When you say somebody is your favorite marth, you can expect that people will comment on their style, that is the truth.


Heck, I'd probably never want a video of myself posted, because while I do try to take advantage of spacing and I love my tilts, as far as technical specifics go, compared to most Marths on the board... lets get real, I suck at it.

However, I do feature an ability to predict my opponent's moves before they even do it with a high level of accuracy. In other words, I play like Drephen, only not as good at it.


Point being, people have to rip the lack of technical powess apart, otherwise other people start to play that way... people who aren't skilled at mindgames., and it hurts their game.
