Hidden talents with top smashers

[Jackie]

Azen is a legend at Mario Kart and Puzzle League, Forward is awesome at UMVC3 and picking up women, Axe loves Stepmania, Kage is good at taking massive dumps.

How about the other good smashers? I'm curious if there are any trends, like chess or musical instruments.

 

[DoH]

Hbox and I are singers

 

[Biglard]

Tang dances.

Taj boxes even if I can't find the video.

Darkrain can kill a man with a single stare.

 

[Bones0]

Hbox and I are lovers

Should've known.

 

[MaskedMarth]

Bones that's not a hidden talent

 

[Bones0]

Yes it is. You just can't see it because it's hidden.

 

[TheZhuKeeper]

Toph is / was one of the best Beatmania players in the US (?). This was the only vid I found, but I think he's better now (?). (???).

[t3h Icy]

T-Block is superb at Tetris, but I have no idea how he stands to others since it's one of the most popular games ever.

 

[Bones0]

I was a top (like legitimately top 1) Metroid: Prime Hunters player.

 

[Dr Peepee]

this is going to be funny eventually

 

[Strong Badam]

I speedrun Sonic games :]

 

[Ryobeat]

I'm a great beatboxer

 

[Bones0]

this is going to be funny eventually

I'm sorry that there's nothing in life that you are particularly good at, Mr. Nanney.

 

[TaFoKiNtS]

Cosmo is a Zelda Speedrunner

 

[Deleted member]

m2k is a blackbelt

ultimascout is a god at jank pokemon sets.

 

[Bones0]

I thought that game title was a troll until I googled it.

 

[Battlecow]

I know ripple used to be one of the best players in some console shooting game

but not like a super popular one

lol I'll let him tell you

I guess m2k's "I'm a small weak man I don't wanna fight unknown" was some kung fu zen shining-path white-flag warrior ****

wanna see m2k fight taj now

 

[Biglard]

I was #1 in Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo for Xbox Live

Cosmo is a Zelda Speedrunner

Seriously? Cosmo the Zelda main is Cosmo the Zelda speedrunner? I would never had guessed that haha.

 

[KrIsP!]

...prog is good at RPS.

 

[KanyeRest]

i was pretty decent at guitar hero and rock band
my friend who's also a casual smasher is pretty much one of the best brutal legend players ever

 

[t3h Icy]

I love how this sounds like a troll post.

 

[VietGeek]

[Landry]

Yeah, he's pretty sick

 

[Ripple]

this man knows me too well.


I was #1 in mech assault for CTF and last man standing.

I would have been #1 in destruction but it was only ranked based on kills. and I didn't have as many kills as him but had far fewer deaths.

my Kill to death ratio was 30:1


the mad cat was mad broke

 

[KnitePhox]

seems like an awesome thread

cool, other rhythm games people (guitar hero doesn't count lol)

i love sm and lol 145bpm beatmania is a joke, i hope he's better now or was better than that vid

 

[Anand]

I like how the OP was about top players but then the standards for which smash players we were talking about went down sharply.

For what it's worth, in high school I was on the U.S. national team for something (it wasn't SSBM).

I'm also probably setting a new record for how low our standards are in this thread.

 

[Tee ay eye]

im decent at pump it up

 

[PGH Carroll]

I'm a district champion and state runner up as a high school diving coach at the age of 19

Flips and **** yo

 

[oukd]

rhythm games are fun but im not amazing at any in particular -_-

uhh i used to make stick animations a lot, became pretty well-known in the community after a few years...not so much now though lol but the skills i learned from it are really handy (flash animation/other digital art stuff)

im not a top smasher lmao

edit: late ****ing edit but on the subject of stepmania, theres a bunch of smashers both good and bad who play other than axe

 

[Hax]

in 2006 i got 2nd at the pokemon videogame (ruby/sapphire) national championships in 12 and under, only losing because my opponent stalled me out

in 2008 i got 5th at the pokemon tcg world championships in 11-14

in 2010 i got 18th at tcg worlds in 15+, losing by being stalled out

[Jonas]

Cosmo is a Zelda Speedrunner

He's also completely badass at Super Monkey Ball.

 

[Strong Badam]

and Banjo-Kazooie
and Castlevania 64
and like 3 Commander Keen games

 

[PGH Carroll]

I set the unofficial world record for spinning a barmaid tray on one finger. (im fairly certain there is no WR)

14 minutes and some seconds till I tried to tweet "setting a world record LOL" with my other hand

It was streamed but not saved. Hbox knows

 

[weon - X]

carroll i challenge you to a "spin something on your finger" MM at apex.

has to be the same thing tho

 

[Dr Peepee]

^makes great pasta

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Everyone should play the cactuar stamina pancakes and we will see everyone's hidden talent at secondary characters.

 

[Shadow Huan]

this is funny, it was supposed to be about "top players" but it sorta veered off

i'm not nearly a top player, but i'm pretty good at Soul Calibur 2, probably better @ it than i am at melee lol...

in the real world, i am a long distance cycler in the summer, and an avid hiker. a pretty good cook too.

do Mango or Armada have any hidden talents?

 

[ShrieK1295]

Mango ***** at Tony Hawk

 

[Divinokage]

Wow nice super power I have. >_<

Outside of smash I'd say i can be very good at anything i want as long as I put a ****ton of time into it. I can memorize everything, that is my potential. Though I took the time to be good at video games mostly and I have great endurance (I ran a marathon before).

So the games I was good/great at:

- DDR
- Drummania (Definitely up there somewhere)
- Initial D V.3 (2nd best in Montreal)
- House of the Dead 3 (Finished the game with 1 quarter and S rank)
- Diablo 2 (Completed hardcore with sick gear and level 90)
- Diablo 3 (Currently top 10 Barbarian on Hardcore)
- Natural Selection (Used to be 3rd in a competitive team)
- Killer Instinct

I guess that's pretty much it. Now I want to become great at Boxing and I will do this successfully no questions!
