Ok, read up on this guys, i see what points you made now, lol
No, not sandbagging, our Sonic ditto was indeed a friendly, not a tournement match make-or-break. So yes, i was goofing around and trying random approaches, feints, baits to see what his Sonic would do in multiple situations. As such, its was friendly (at one point to any who remember, we were actually teaching techs to eachother, I.E: the spinshot, saves Sonic's *** against spammers, and closes the gap/gets you in good postion to pull a kill move) and he in turn showed me the ASC landing cancel that works everytime. He won, he did really well, but it was a fun ditto, not a serious match or money match.
And you claiming anything about bias? Well, obviously the SC regulars say i have the best Sonic, you at UNCC seem to think he's the better Sonic... pff... bias abound. Also, the real reason i got aggitated is cause when you showed up the first time, i was playing Joe's DK first round, and you all were watching and saying "Oh, i have a better Sonic... Your Sonic pwns his, ect" and i really don't care much for that. Thats is kind of how it all got started. Upon playing the following week, i wanted to see what he could do to gauge it myself, i hoped he gauged me as well, we both picked up a few things.
and @Gil: when you did knock me out, i was already late... as in when you camped and i couldn't kill you and vice versa, it went to Sudden death. So naturally, you have a large advantage (range, lingering hitboxes, priority, attack speed, a counter, ect) and it was quite even and i commend it. I lost. Second round, it was playing out the same way and as such, i went aggressive (win or loose, faster round). No johns there, but i was already due to go (and to Rot: that is why i had no idea how i placed, i had looked at the bracket b4 that match, and i did think i took for and left well before the tourney ended, so my mistake, third time saying that one... >_>)
Edit: The whole point of Sonic dittoes being a bit wonky is yea, i obviosly have a lot more knowlege on Sonic than you. Wonder why... anyway: Switching characters we can see how we'd react/also guage our own skill levels besides just Sonic. Im sure he has just as little experience Sonic ditto-wise as i do. So... when we dash and miss eachother by a few stride lenghts, it become a bit of "cat/mouse" and trying to land that one blow and combo... at which it becomes increasingly harder to land a "kill" blow. Which is why yes, more options such as AT and mindgaming all add up to your metagame, and help get past certain situations/unfavorable matchups. My TL is honestly laughibly bad (ask Crio... lol, he almost 3stocked me with his D3 on FD) but by trying that, he can land his set ups as well as i can counter his set ups. Switch, im Sonic and he's whoever, tables are turned. So a 3 match minimum would more thouroughly "gauge" or Sonic prowess and help eliminate all bias there. You follow what i meant now? Sonic friendly, two others, and maybe a 4th "Sonic" serious. Plus, only one match... lol c'mon step it up.
Im more than willing to TL ditto, should be interesting with the pwpwpwpw dmg racking up, but more than likely as im Sonic 99% and TL 1% for the lulz, you'd hand my arse to me. But that matchup (imo) would be a friendly, and gauging skill, not necissarily to win.
Super Edit:
Next time we fight, 2 rules. No bull**** excuses or reasons how you won or lost, I'll get Tamis to handle that department (the sun was in my eyes, my controller malfunctioned, i had to blink). 2, no crying when you lose.

Now i get you a bit more. As to your point of the last kill (you offstage at higher pecent, me spinshotting towards you to attempt a HA kill) it was honestly a hit-or-miss attack, we both know that. It i was a way to see if you'd be able to counter it. In all seriousness, another gimp would have been much better.
And no Johns, we'll serious Sonic ditto and see what's what. And we'll also see who places higher, fair enough. And i guess your a bit of a jokster and make light fun via sarcasm, really sorry for jumping down your throat
