everyone keeps playing high tier and falcon has a skill level wall that i feel i've hit. So if people play high-top tier I'll go snake.
If they play medium or below I'll go falcon.
What about me? I play a high tier character but you seem to always do well against me with Falcon.

I'd say that's more of a matchup thing. I don't personally know the matchup Falcon:DK but I would think Falcon would do better against him than other high tiers

You guys should come to TO4.
Quest-ce que c'est?

I am surprised I don't know what a nearby Tourney is.

Edit: Oh... Tipped Off 4 at WABA? Sorry, I don't travel exclusively for Melee. That and I am jobless.

Believe it or not, but my theory on improving ones game lies not in practicing your main over and over, but getting a fresh outlook on the game from another character perspective. When you do indeed return to your main, you will have fresh thoughts on nearly every facet of your game.

Case in point, every time I switch characters, my game improves just a little bit. It's clear to see.

Which is why he's no fun.....

SRLY, a bad MK can win against someone better consistently. MK is more broke than the windows at Best Buy right after Katrina....

My bro and I decided to screw around with meta for the first time ever thurs before the tourney. Having fun with Up B, glide attack, downsmash, repeat. Then we decided to see how our 5 mins of meta experiance would do against our mains.

Falcon(me) and Samus(him)
I beat his samus even suiciding twice.
I barely beat his MK him also suiciding twice.


We concluded the only weakness metaknight has is noobs.

Why is everyone all of a sudden *****ing about their characters?

That's a ***** move.

It's really simple, if you want to win, play top tier--not high tier, not med. tier--top tier.

Stop thinking there's pride in playing low tier characters! Nobody cares! If you want to win and feel like your pick is holding you back, step it up or stop complaining.

@Bradon -- Plays half the cast, never complains, knows when to break out the MK.
@Adam -- Falcon main, BY CHOICE, and beats over half of you with him--still, breaks out Snake when manliness won't win the match-up.
@Sushi -- wouldn't have half the success without MK, but he's not *****in', he's winning.
@Justin -- Sonic can KO, others just do it better--if that's really your problem, switch it up and see if you win.
@Ali -- see "@Sushi," replace MK with Snake.
@Peter -- Generally places top three with med-high tier characters, what else to say?
@JoeC --Top 3, DK, same situation as Peter.
@Me -- Marth main since Melee, wouldn't matter if he sucked in Brawl, luckily he doesn't--however, I am trying to learn Dedede, so be ready for that.

Most of the successful players that attend the GE tournaments play top of the top tier characters, or if that isn't the case--have a back up that is... top of the top tier.

Bottom line? Tier whores win tournaments. Doesn't always mean they're a better player than you, but they do win. Yes, there are occasional "abnormals" where a Ness might win a tournament somewhere in Europe, but that's exactly what it is: unusual--and the player was probably smart as **** and if he mained someone higher, would **** EVERYONE up. Two equally skilled players, playing differently tiered characters ALWAYS leads to the higher one winning, that's just fact, and we all know it, so stop complaining about it!

It really comes down to who the smarter player is--THAT is what can allow low tiers to conquer those above them. What does that mean for GE? Adam can beat half the regulars with Falcon alone--top tier, high tier, med. tier--that by itself should tell a lot of you that you have a ton of room to improve when it comes to analyzing, mindgames and pretty much everything in the head. So don't blame it all on your character, you wield them, they don't have minds of their own to play with.

Im not so much complaing either. Im aware he can ko, and yes, others do DECENTLY, but thats a part of self improvement. I do in fact take a prid in maining Sonic actually. Seeing as my job isn't smash.... i can afford to do that.
I chose Tink on Bo due to really sub-par ko drawback vs lucario. I nearly won afrer being nearly 3 stocked. Yea... ****y play (compared to my polished main) but higher tier and strength/knockback and decent metagame shows a character flaw that i do feel hinders, just like Adam has had his probldms too and we both do consistently well.

Tiers shouldn't matter but they do. I come to improve i'd say moreso than anything.

Edit: I kno some of my glaring issues. However, reading or not, a character shortcoming is a character shortcoming. Avoiding or bypassing these to win is indeed what allows me to earn Steak, but slow attacks and no real aeiral game (reliable/safe-no Marth Fair, xD) forces more groundbased, feint heavy, grab oriented play. Needed, but i would like to grow in the air as iyt were....

I watched it LOL. That was too hard. And, for your enjoyment....

The notes with the song are C natural, D # to E Natural. The Mud is roughly an Octave jump from D to a D under, and Kip is an A.

Go go musical ear.

Ah well I'll sneak a copy of Brawl or something to Scha's tournament, hoping he doesn't kill me xD. If not though, dude I bet we could set something up the day before where you come down and play me before the tournament or something, hit me up on my profile about that.

Oh and to every SOUTH CAROLINIAN in this thread-

If you've noticed I've made (again lol sorry guys) A SC Player Locator thread. Please post there, SC is too good. :D. Link is in my Sig.

Well, there's a few people in G-boro or Greenville or something who are good. I played a couple of them at a PnT tourney once.

and Kidd (who I think is amongst them) is a beast.

Edit:

To those of you wanting a GE tourney this week. It will either be on Tuesday or Friday. Which would you prefer?

I personally would either say Tuesday, or not at all.

Tuesday is my vote.

Or we could just do a smash fest as was mentioned earlier.

and yo Ali, I'm finding snake more fun to play again. Which sucks since it means snake ditto's against you in the future.

LOLOLOL I've never complained about DK but I am trying to play something other than just one character. I gave Wolf a shot but he's basically unplayable in tournaments because of the gimp situation.

I've been thinking about picking up Falco.

At my computer, making you lose The Game
Now do this one, it'll be much tougher:

I couldn't stand the first one and I stopped before the timer hit 1 minute. I did manage to watch through the whole Mudkip one, though. I'm not sure how it happened...

As for the tourney, I won't be able to make it on either day unless I can convince my mom to give me and my brother $40 for Tuesday. I don't see that happening, though... :/

Tuesday? I'll be thar. Smeashfest? Depends on what day, but most likely I'll be there. Anywhere there is smash...I'll be there. But yeah, either type of smash playing works for me, I really don't care. I might be going to Georgia sometime after Christmas, But that's just a maybe. But I'd like to get as much brawling in as possible before I have to go back to school
