Saw is monotonous now. Before it was like "ZOMG HE IS SO CRAZY SMART" and now it's like "...ok we get it now..."

It was done after 3.

yeah, saw 1 through 3 were good, personally, i wasn't a fan of the series, i just found it all the same, just these guys that're screwed and get tortured, the plot is really thin.

I think you can develop reading.

I think reading in general is underrated as a skill in smash because of how powerful simple spacing strategies, difficult-to-punish approaches, and covering multiple options (or yourself) can be. Consequently, people don't train themselves to be able to perform the "mind-reading" type of gameplay, partly because it's harder to do because it's a sort of abstract and varies for every opponent, and it's not needed for a lot of them (I don't think anyone in top tier actually needs reading skills in the vast majority of their common matchups although if you disagree that's fine I will probably ignore you though).

I think for reading the caps and plateaus are probably more prominent as well. How do you "read" someone harder? How do you decide when to "read" or when not to? How do you differentiate when you're "reading" and not making an educated guess? Is there even a difference? Since it's mostly an independent, personal skill that you're mastering there's no way of really getting assistance. You can't learn how to "read" from someone and similarly you can't teach someone else how to "read". You can, of course, explain common patterns (most people DI <x> this way, most <character>s tech this way, etc) but those are superficial habits that change a lot when people reach that higher level.

TL;DR reading is really hard and you can't really be taught it. People with reading talent (that visual/spacial problem solving skills and good intuitive abilities) probably have a huge advantage in that area of smash because it's sort of hard to learn.

Marth requires reading. Reading/Manipulation of DI, vs. Sheik, vs. camping. X.X You pretty much have to be able to read to compete at the top level. Unless you can kill from a single hit either because that's how well you combo or that's how bad the other char is.

I know you guys are mostly Melee, but I'm sure some of you play Brawl on the side.

I have 2 spots in my car if someone wants to go to the Niagara tourny.
$10 for gas.

play jigglypuff, build confidence. jigglypuff has to outplay marth to beat him, generally =P or the person has to hate fighting jigglypuffs, that comes up too.

Sorry guys.

My dad and I decided that it would be best to not take 2 more people so that we can take the Vibe instead considering it's MASSIVELY better on Gas.
