FoulPlay Presents: S.O.T.S - Read First Post.

Z- i dont mean to say that using the nair as an approach is bad, lets face it, its ****ing amazing.
im talking about fox's nair combos he can get on semi/floaties

 

[Mr P]

indeed stocks are a decent way of seeing how well you measure up though, and since most ppl don't get past pools, stocks are all they have.

NO, stocks are no indication of skill. I sandbag in friendlies vs lesser players all the time because i dont need to try my best to win, im sure a lot of others do this too [Z]

Z- i mean if ppl dont DI away you can hammer them with 3 nairs in a row where as spacies will hit the floor before the second hitbox comes out

Read my above post + fair enough,though trust me there are lots of nair combos on spacies.

Aiko:I suppose that depends on how many games and how deserved you got the stock.If Charles jumps off the stage when he could have edgehogged you and you shine him when he misses,thats hardly a noteable way of how you measure up to him.

While Im at it I might as well mention some things people can do differently so that I dont exploit them cause they are too easy to see:
-stop jumping at predictable times,think about what you're doing
-learn your characters out of shield game
-dont constantly attack and stop coming from the air,particularly if you're a Marth
-careful around the opponents shield
-learn your characters grab game inside-out,you do not want to miss a grab opportunity!

euan: wii rocks

aiko: some times ill win other times ill get 3 stocked, who is better?

 

[J03]

Z: two of those youve said to me face to face and two more are problems ive noticed vs you. sigh mad need to work on ****

i have to agree with this, i dont intentionally sandbag but i usually play much better in tournaments or a set with some sort of pressure, though some people are the opposite, of course you cant take tournament results as the be all and end all as people sometime just have bad days for whatever reason. But no johns.

 

[Penetrago]

If the tournie ends up in glasgow or somewhere near by i can PiPe along some tv's if they are needed, they'll be ****e, though ones a good size its does the job but i have two smaller, craP tv's that can be used if we are desPeradoes.

 

[J03]

i also plan to become god of you all

i also plan to become president of the USA

I suppose when someone is of considerably greater skill, then stocks aren't much of an indicator, but what about players of similar level? I think this ones gone on a bit too long. Final say is, Zeppo is right, only tourney counts, or maybe high stake MM.

JO3: at the moment, its a bit blurry to say who's better, but I'd say you are, overall. On a technical level, i'd say I'm be slightly better, but in terms of mindgames and experience, you're miles ahead. Its not just about how well we play against each other, but how well we do against other people, and I reckon you'd be the one people put their money on over me.

*snore*

I'm the best Sambucamus in town. Suck it.

The earlier this tournament is, the less likely I am to come. I have 60p atm, so until I have work, I have no money.

I hate people that sandbag.

 

[Bullet Bill]

Sambuca is definately the worst tasting substance I've ever drunk.

 

[VA]

Then you've never had vodka. and sandbagging is so necessary it hurts.

 

[grayfox]

Bill, it is very straining to play your very best all the time. Takes a lot of concentration, too much so infact that i can't even be arsed doing so in tourneys anymore nevermind friendlies lol. Don't take it personally that someone doesn't want to play their best against you, it is just too much effort for something that isn't really needed.

In other words, friendlies don't mean **** lol. What i used to do was money match people so then they couldn't make sandbag johns.

lol@jam taking already made rap lyrics and adding nair in the middle to make it relevant

I prefer vodka

Woot relevant post lol

 

[J03]

vodka is pretty foul, sambuca is pretty nice, vodka red bull is gorgeous, sambuca with coke is apparently an outrage ^_^

just ask golfie about that one.

in fact ryan your bottle or vodka & coke is a result of his revenge from it lol

 

[VA]

Vodka is horrible neat. Tasty mixed.

Sambuca is tasty neat. Horrible mixed.

 

[monty06]

i will make and bring a vodka melon does anyone wanna try it. has anyone had it before?

bill: ryans right most people do sandbag in friendlys but not so much they dont need to beat newbs etc or to much effort to try there best its cos friendlys dont mean **** all.

i do it sumtimes but i just use other chars or just try new combo **** n see what works i neva taken a friendly seriously in my life.

also bacardi n coke ftw

 

[J03]

monty is the best sand bagger in the world

 

[J03]

foulplay: do not book september i think is the general reply. with uni starting and the fact that alot of people will be without money to early-late october i think november is the best bet

 

[DevMBC]

an yus sandbagging's where it's at - mad used to hate the idea but then I got good lol

 

[J03]

jammy dodger: how was reading festival?

Happy birthday Jam - Hope its a messy one!

September is loan time! That's when a student is rich. Plus no uni work would equal optimum time - just after freshers week.

Anyhows beer shot smash challenge - 99 stock each, every time you lose a stock you do a shot of beer. No pausing!

 

[J03]

Mad rumblish also happy birthday again mangz >_O

 

[J03]

ryan: you think youd be able to make it down to mine in september?

 

[grayfox]

Man to be honest i doubt i'll be able to get to and from Perth and Dundee in Sept = S but i'll try. No chance at all unless its late Sept though

 

[Mr P]

Aye Jam is right.... when i first started and i was near the bottom of the pile i used to hate sandbagging, i just wanted to play good players and try to improve every match i played, but then when you've been playing this game for a certain amount of time and you get to a certain skill level it's very hard to get motivated to try your hardest against lesser players, espescially in friendlies.

At ROS4 i won a game from Aldwyn ( lost the set 2-1) he got second place in the tournie, but that doesn't mean that i am anywhere near as good as him even though i took him pretty close. There's way too many other factors and besides he ended up second IN THE TOURNIE where as i placed ???? Lets not even go there. So basically NJ bullet bill.

Also who the hell drinks alcohol for the taste, jesus christ !!!! You guys need to get some balls.

oh yeh happy birthday jam, same as the birds >_>

No one, but taste is an added bonus. It's the difference between drinking urine and slightly watered down urine.

 

[Cpt.Zeppo]

I always try my best not to sandbag in friendlies.When I was an inexperienced player I wanted to play the best players and if they sandbagged me then I was hardly playing them.Its a reason in itself to go to a tournament and if you sandbag them then they arent gaining anything from it.

I think you have to appreciate how much someone wants to gain from playing you even if it doesnt mean **** to you.The only time I sandbag in friendlies is if its a cocky **** Im playing or a Peach.

Sandbagging is different from playing bad or playing for fun.

Happy Bday Jam

 

[VA]

Does that make me a cocky ****? Because you were totally sandbagging against me in the two games you played against me on that first night!

 

[Cpt.Zeppo]

Rofl I dont know you as a person,I think I just couldnt be arsed playing Samus.Sorry son,pick up a new character

Seriously that night I just wanted to combo people to **** and I ended up playing a Peach/Jiggs,a Doc and then a Samus.I was having the time of my life tbh.

 

[Mr P]

You do the math

jk

 

[VA]

Meh I'm not fussed. YOU pick up a new character. I don't mind you sandbagging, still got a game against you in Brackets Z

 

[Mr P]

Yeh and i won a game from Aldwyn oh yeh and ive beaten Nihonjin

 

[VA]

Good for you. Was this in the tournament?

 

[Cpt.Zeppo]

What were the other two games like again?

 

[Mr P]

At ROS4 i won a game from Aldwyn ( lost the set 2-1) he got second place in the tournie, but that doesn't mean that i am anywhere near as good as him even though i took him pretty close.

Just thought i'd quote this for no relevant reason.
