Hidden talents with top smashers

[Ballin]

I play violin.
I know Kels is godlike at DBZ budokai 3.

 

[prog]

I've never been defeated in real life combat.

Or rock paper scissors.

One of those two changes when I see you.

 

[Battlecow]

The real life combat one

prog's not that good at RPS

 

[KrazyKnux]

I could def take prog in RPS.

Let's just be honest here.

 

[Coffeeblack]

I dont know man, it could go either way (literally)

 

[DippnDots]

HEY AXE, have you tried the bearpocalypse step pack yet?

 

[Melomaniacal]

Fun RPS fact: Ask your opponent what color their shirt is. They will now (likely) pick scissors. Worked 16/20 times for me.

Tested and confirmed, this worked for me

 

[odinNJ]

alukard is mad good at mvc3

 

[Lovage]

i have 3 buddies that all play modified RPS

it's basically RPS
except the rule is you have to announce a throw before the round starts

aka look the other person in their eyeballs, and tell them you are going rock

ppl that are skilled at fighting games have a higher chance at ****** in mRPS than regular common humans

 

[Dr Peepee]

That is pretty cool Lovage. What kind of strategy goes into that past saying something and switching it up vs doing what you're saying?

 

[Lovage]

the majority of the game is in the "TELL"

whoever is more convincing at announcing their throw will have better odds at tricking the opponent

 

[Dr Peepee]

Ahhh so I imagine people practice inflections in their voices and poker facing(or faking) pretty well.

Very cool, thanks for the info.

 

[-ACE-]

I can drink more than mango.

 

[Bones0]

Was wondering if you happened to know my friend, haha. He used to be a pretty high level player in that game, name was F5 Sin.

I've heard of him, but never played him myself. F5 was pretty notorious for acting like they were the best even though they weren't. lol

 

[Lovage]

yea it's like they'd post about it in threads talking about themselves or something

so self absorbed F5

 

[hungrybox]

Haha, I did play chess a bit in elementary school, but no. It's my real-life first name. I do enjoy headlines like "Anand remains king of world chess" though.



Yeah, it's definitely really really good! I just wanted to clarify that 2k isn't enough to make you famous, even among chess players.

Wait, I thought Magnus Carlsen was #1?

 

[Anand]

Wait, I thought Magnus Carlsen was #1?

Right, so Carlsen has the highest rating, but Anand is the defending champion. I don't actually follow chess, but I think it'd be like if Armada weren't first on SSBPD.

Dr Peepee once had sex with 19 women in one night.

 

[DippnDots]

I bet they all had orgasms too...

 

[Rostigalen]

Calle W, a top player from Sweden, is pretty good at speedrunning Mario Kart 64. I can't find his youtube channel, but he has videos up of him play. Also not sure if he has any videos up. Any Swedes that can confirm?

I thought it was Diddy Kong Racing that he did?

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

Lolex is/was amazing at BLC. Akke is a sponsored pro in DOTA (most people who know who he is here will prolly know him from DOTA lol) and generally amazing at videogames, having won Nintendo Swedish Championship a few times. GsE/Humpe has the speedrunning world record in one of the stages in Mega Man 9. Ek is great at LoL. Armada and Dev are amazing at Mario Party. I am amazing at being amazing and putting flopmericans and other various easy targets in their place.

You forgot you are very modest too.

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

Yhea that is very true, I tend to tone down how amazing I am to not give people overwhelming minority complexes and commit suicide. If you had met me you would know.
Jesus christ I'm so ****ing awesome, I can barely live with myself since I feel bad noone else is even half as amazing I am. I'm gonna go jerk off to myself in the mirror, I'll be back in 6 hours.

 

[Slhoka]

Armada and Aniolas are able to perform team combos in Mario Party. Qlex and I tried to pay against them, and we've been obliterated.
At some point, if it wasn't for me getting a lucky double 10, I think they would have managed to take 4 stars in on turn or something like that.

Also, I think that Over speedruns mario games and is really good in general (I was told he completed one of those insane Super Mario World mods).

That sounds pretty intense. I have funny mental images when thinking about this lol.

It's kinda long but worth the watch.

 

[EbAgItachi]

I'm (arguably) the most technical Halo 2 player ever.

One of the fun-tages I made for out of boredom/abundance of clips.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_hdJEC88Rg


My last video released and the one with the most technical stuff overall.
https://vimeo.com/3426933

The only reason I say arguably is because there were only about 15 players tops who could do some of the techniques in those videos, not to mention pulling them off in competitive matches.

 

[Little England]

If anyone has seen the movie "Stomp the Yard" that's my talent. I step.

what was your tag in halo?

 

[The Star King]

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

If you actually good at the game you would know that game just does not work at a high level. It's nearly impossible to kill anyone who knows what he's doing on most levels. Even if you ban all the bugs.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Other than escaping into the walls and death-alt/that weapon on the last level, what was stupid about competitive MPH? Shadow freeze?

 

[The Star King]

You pretty much covered the dumb bugs (mostly going through walls). I might be forgetting something though because I haven't played it since like 2008/2009 (man time flies).

The problem with the game is if you stay in your alt form (not ****ty ones like Kanden or whatever, but ones with good mobility like Samus/Trace/Sylux) and go for energy whenever you are remotely in danger it's really hard to kill anyone on most maps. Unless something extreme happens like everyone teaming you at once in a FFA (lol). Or there's Sylux's bomb triangles but good luck getting someone actually good with that. They should have had you take headshot damage while in alt form, or maybe 99 max energy IDK.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Yeah that's why Samus was so good, right? Fast standard shots, strong homing missiles and fast alt.

I dunno, I wasn't super competitive just played with my cousins, it was damn fun at that level haha
I used Kanden (his alt was pretty good, I thought?)

 

[The Star King]

Maybe I'm wrong but Kanden's alt is really bad IMO.

Moves slow, the attack takes a long time to recharge, and it only does like 20 damage or something IIRC.

Samus was pretty good. Samus/Sylux/Nox/Trace were all pretty good I think. Shooters aren't very difficult to balance I guess (poor fighting games).

 

[chenjesu]

I'm pretty good at drawing with and without a reference.
Additionally, I have been told numerous times that I am a freakish human encyclopedia.

I'm also not a top smasher, so DISREGARD.

I can draw really well with a reference, but drawing without a reference is MAD HARD and takes insane spatial memory skills. Props to you Massive.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I liked the mobility it offered + homing alt attack, but again, I imagine if I was playing with less aggressive players it would've changed things

The main reason I used him was because I thought his fully charge shot was creative (distorts their vision)

 

[toiletduck]

My best mile time is 4:36 posted two weeks ago... Sort of impressive for a non-track athlete?

 

[Nicco]

Isai is pretty good at SSB64.

I know OP said top smashers, but since everyone stated their talents, I'm gonna go ahead:

My burb record is 12 seconds.

I once ate 11 and a 1/2 McD cheeseburgers.

I was pr0 at Jedi Academy back in the day.

My phone number contains the digit combination "1337".

I was also a professional ballet dancer for a few years.

 

[TheLake]

i play violin.
I know kels is godlike at dbz budokai 3.

omg yes finally somone to play with
