I know what you mean monty friendlies are not serious (thats why they're called friendlies). But tbh, it's not that mentally or physically demanding to play your best in them. the reason I play players a lot better than me is to get some experience but if they just sandbag and not even bother to play well then theres no point. I'm not gonna blame anyone for not playing their best in friendlies but sandbagging is lame.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
Zeppo knows what I mean. now that I'm home I don't really have any smashers to practice against apart from lvl 1 cpu. So when I go to tourneys I need all the practice I can get and It's just annoying if the one chance you get to play against a good (character) player or just a really good player, they can't be bothered to even try.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
you can't compare running a marathon to playing lots of smash. You just can't. It really it isn't that demanding physically or mentally. If a really good player will only give me a proper match if theres money at stake (which theyw will win cos they're good and I'm not) then thats kind of sad because the only way to get a decent match out of them is to pay them. Zeppo and Jam are sound guys as most of you know and they've always given me a good match even when it's not for cash. So I get owned but with every defeat I can learn from it.its not that they cant be bothered too, its that they CANT, its not a concious decision, its like running a marathon playing smash for hours on end. at the beginning your mind is fresh and your body is ready to go. after a while you become a lil docile and just force yourself to keep moving. in smash the only way to get people back to there best is to re-awaken there minds. normally done by wafting the smell of money at them or when they start losing they start to perk up a bit (nobody likes to lose)
i dont mean this as a jab at you and you definitly improved between the 2 tournaments i saw you at but in this case you just wrongyou can't compare running a marathon to playing lots of smash.

I think you're onto something here. people can play without thinking, because they're playing on instinct. People with more experience will have been through the situation so many times, that they know samus can CC this and that, and it just requires no thought, thus expending very little energy.i dont mean this as a jab at you and you definitly improved between the 2 tournaments i saw you at but in this case you just wrong
Motivation is a very difficult thing to keep up, its the same for any activity, you try doing the same thing over and over and over and keep the level of motivation and enthusiasm for what your doing, even if you love doing it eventually your mind will begin to wander, its the same for smash. Although every player plays a little differently there are certain strategies etc that are commonly used by all players of a particular skill level (for example all samus players at some level learn to crouch cancel and it becomes part of their game) a player who has been around for a while learns to see these and react unconsciously to them letting their focus dull slightly and thereby their game.
The reason people are able to play better and more consistanly against better players is simply that they bring things to the game which are more difficult to pull off or use strategies which are different. Because the player is pushing them their full attention is needed and as such they pay full attention.
Also how to you know when someone is sandbagging against you or not if they never play you properly
haha i was going to use your match with me as an example, you didnt have much experience fox vs samus and as such didnt know to avoid getting CC'd therefore once i worked this out i didnt have to worry about spacing as much as i would against an opponent who knew about it.I think you're onto something here. people can play without thinking, because they're playing on instinct.
