I'm really sorry for making the finals the gayest **** that's ever existed. I felt so dirty winning like that. I would try justifying what I did, but in short, it was the wrong thing to do. There's no taking back what I did so everyone that saw what I did or hears about it, know that I feel like **** for it. Amazing what greed for winning and money will do to a person.
hey i wasnt trying to hate on you. cuz ur a kool guy to talk too.

but yea its nice to fess up to your mistakes but like no ones perfect, so its good.

congrats on winnng again.

Well, in the end, you do what it takes to win.

That being said, you won't do that in a REAL tournament anyways. :)

Congrats on winning.

MGC TVs make me furious.

TO ALL: how can i get better on my own? since i cant be constantly going to smashfest every day.
-learn the range of all your moves
-learn how much startup lag and cool down lag each move has, what is safe and what isn't, what you should use and shouldn't use, etc.
-learn how to space your moves
-visit each character forum to see what other characters can do against your character, or what you can do against them

Beyond that, everything else is just practicing on a human player to see what works and what doesn't. You'll reach a point where you'll need to refine your techniques and playstyle in order to get better. Oh, and practice wallteching if you don't know how to do it well. It'll save you from ******** deaths...

What are your dreams?
Thanks everyone for being understanding. I just don't want this to affect my relationship I have with the people of this community as a person. You can judge my playstyle as gay, just don't tie it in with my character as a person in RL. : )

Btw Gnes, you hide your anger very well. I was seriously confused why you weren't more angry after the match. I was afraid you were gonna exact revenge sometime later. You should consider acting as an occupation.

I got the lead with meta so I ran away. I stayed on the edges because I realized wolf couldn't do anything to me when I stayed there.

LOL! no, my arms are too puny to do that.

lol, i was just playing around. i realized you get more respect from actually winning tournaments then you do from having a respectable playstyle that doesnt spam/stall.

i could be the most campiest, chaingrabbiest falco ever and win tournaments and people would still respect me.

its worked for me.... so it cant be bad advice.

IC arnt for me. I actually wanna earn my wins
As opposed to failing with them and loosing? Because trust me, Ice Climbers are one of the few characters that takes 100% skill to win with. Unlike with other character like falco, dedede, pikachu, etc. you can't win by just pressing down and grab down and grab in the exact same patter on every character, which anyone can do, and you can't win by just pressing Z in the air a lot, and you can't win by spamming projectiles, everything about them has to be planned out and learned. And you have to learn the timing for everything separately against every character, and characters with projectiles destroy their desyncing.

heh, if you think they're so easy to use and take no skill to win with, then try them yourself. I may believe you if you actually back up what you say.

Oh yeah, wanna have a samus ditto anyone? I've been working on samus.

and anyone can win by using Ice Climbers is the reason they're only middle right? Samus is easy to use and that's that. Just because she's bad doesn't make her hard to use.

Ice climbers are as easy to use as the characters you listed. I learned D-synch and chain grab very quickly.. They're just bad because of how much they rely on grab and how much people already expect that. And just because they're bad doesn't make them hard to use.

To say that ICs are complicated because they have to learn how to play against other characters validate all other characters to be complicated.

Exactly. Every character can be hard to use. All I'm saying is Ice Climbers aren't like "OMG I can learn them in 1 day and win every tourny in the world with them" like xyro acts like.

I'm not following... you're saying all of the characters are hard to use yet ice climbers are somehow superior? Or...what exactly are you arguing? That statement is very unclear, I haven't seen alan act like that.

No, I'm not saying Ice Climbers are superior at all, I was commenting about what xyro said "I don't like Ice Climbers because I prefer to earn my wins". That was just a comment directed to insult me and other Ice Climber users, because if he really wanted to talk about characters that are easy to win with then he would've said something about snake or meta knight, characters that can win without a problem. There's also the fact that he always insults every character I use (except pit for some reason). He's told me things on AIM like "Ice Climbers were always destined for gayness" and "Yoshi is trash", and I get tired of hearing insults from about half the people I meet online. So I finally just made a post to prove a point. I use Ice Climbers because I like Ice, it's the same reason I use a mono-ice team in pokemon most of the time. But to say something rude like "Sorry, I don't like them because I prefer to win" isn't just saying that he doesn't like the character, it's insulting me and everyone who uses them saying that they take absolutely no skill to use.

I don't know, maybe Xyro words things wrong, but the way he acts sometimes is just uncalled for.

And it's not just Xyro, sorry if this is all being directed at you, but I recieve PMs on multiplle sites every day about people who don't like me because I use Ice Climbers, there was even someone who was internet stalking me about it. It's just dumb, I use Ice Climbers because I like them, that's it. Even if they were the worst character in the game I would still use them, I've even said if they ever get banned then I'll go solo climber, because like I say, they're my favorite character.

im not going to lie, i hate palying an IC. I play melee1 online and he wins 4/5ths of our games because of grabbing. basically i win against him if i dont get grabbed three times.

Xyro doesnt critique pit so you should main hhim like me!!!!!!!!!

Alright :D More pits ftw! lol. I wonder... I probably could do well going solo with pit in a tourny though, I can't think of any really bad matchups he has. I will still never abandon my ICs though :p I had several times when I thought about quitting them because my pit was better, but I just had to push through for several months until I could finally get to where I am right now with them.

I guess there really isn't anything bad about pit though, he's fun to use, one of my favorite characters to fight. He's also the only character I can use well against G&W. I also do well against Ice Climbers with him since he does well in the air and can kill nana easily.

Hmm... it's still annoying hearing people say Ice Climber users have to rely on infinites, because I don't infinite with them, I just get them to the edge with their chain grabs and spike, but falcos do the same thing :/

ok, knowing xyro I would think he is sarcastic or just beating your back so if I were you I wouldn't take it personally. There's haters for every character.

And when he says that he's probably referring to their possible infinite grab. He really hates it and looks down on it.
