Sorry to hear that, Esca.

Make sure to call first, pretty much all of the Best Buys seem to not actually have them on demo yet.
Amaterasu and Felicia have pretty icky health numbers. So does Arthur. The only character I'm thinking about that has a ton is Haggar.
So I gotta do good with characters that, aside from Haggar, have hilariously mediocre health bars.
The challenge is accepted.

Alright I'm probably opening up another Pandora's Box here - but honestly I don't care. I'm not dealing with this in Private Messages either P4 - because the second half of what I want to say relates to me as a player in this community and any misconceptions or truths (directed towards me) that I feel as though I need to get out of the way.
I KNOW you aren't happy about Esca getting stabbed, and I honestly do believe you when you say that you dropped everything you were doing to figure out where he was staying, I really do.
But why wouldn't Esca feel good about going on Smashboards to read "Get well soon" or know we have him in our prayers? Honestly - please give me a solid reason. It's much better than "Oh, he probably got stabbed hanging out with some drug buddies - he deserves it".
I honestly regret ever sharing the information with you - I know for a fact that if ANYONE in this community EVER gets hurt like Esca is currently I would try to support them one hundred percent and I would definitely go visit them (which I'm probably going to - regardless if I get a ride with P4 or not). I just really don't understand how you can be so cold, especially towards one of your friends.
Regardless, I still respect you as a person Xyro - and I totally forgive you (whether you are willing to even accept that you are wrong or not).
Esca, please don't apologize - you did absolutely NOTHING wrong.
In fact - I'll say it again. "Get well soon Esca - we have to **** in doubles again."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now to cover the whole: me as a "cocky or arrogant" player situation.
I don't even know where to start, honestly. My reasons and views for playing this game may be different than others - so I will say this: I am a perfectionist in any activity I enjoy and I will try my absolute hardest in those activities to result in the best situation possible.
Coming into this community maining Peach - I honestly didn't know where she stood on the tier list. I knew she was decent, but I definitely did not think she was anywhere near the top of the list. Honestly, I didn't care at all when I started, but after losing a couple of times it started to kick in. I have never considered switching characters because I believe spending all the time improving and learning new things with a character - fully understanding their range of attacks, kill power, etc etc - would be wasted with any other character, regardless if I got better as a overall player - and I specifically remember talking to Gnes about this early on when I started. He used to be in the same situation; Kirby or Diddy - he chose Diddy and we all know how it has turned out for him. I'm never picking up another character because I've already set a goal for myself as a player in general - become the best player possible as Peach, and I told Jerm this like the first time I met him at P4's.
Honestly, what is the point of playing this game (competitively) - if you aren't trying your absolute hardest and constantly looking for ways to improve? Xyro has done it with his character, Trela, Jerm, Espy, Zac and Gnes have all done it with their character (in my opinion) and Razer is pretty damn close too.
So why can't I?
Posting wins in money matches or tournaments are basically achievements to me and they mean alot because they are signs that I am improving.
I won't allow any Peach to take the title of the universally accepted "best", unless it is me. Personally, I don't think I fully deserve the title yet but marking my wins and losses and comparing it to other players makes me think I'm inching closer and closer to the goal. And whenever I see someone post (especially a Peach) that I'm the best Peach or someone that isn't THEM is the best Peach I just laugh. In my opinion when YOU as a person admit you are worse than someone else and you can never achieve what they have - you've already lost, and it's EXTREMELY hard to gain the mental confidence back. If I ever am defined as clear, cut, "best Peach" I'll keep on improving to secure the spot and never let anyone take it from me (while I'm still playing) or even improve the Peach metagame as a whole - because it is my goal. If someone takes it from me you better believe I'll be fighting for it back. Look at ADHD, he lost to Gnes and now he's happy because he has another goal to pursue. That's what this game is about - getting better, getting better, and getting better. I'm so happy I picked up this character because it is one that I believe who's potential hasn't fully developed yet - mainly because of her float. But I don't want to get into that.
The whole "Illmatic - why do you money match??? asdklfjaksljdfaklsfd" crap - I'm really getting tired of it.
Want to really know why I do it? Well yeah, the money of course - but there is another significant reason that plays a big role.
Jerm used to ****ing **** the **** out of my Peach when I first started. I honestly was hitting a brick wall - over and over again, - questioning what I was doing wrong, why isn't this working? Blah blah blah. I kept at it, and kept at it, until one day I beat him in a friendly at a HOBO. Then I get, "this game just isn't as exciting unless there is alot of money on the line". Great - this win isn't legit, jeez I gotta find a way to get better so I can go into the toon link matchup confidently. My first money match was against Jerm and I won. I honestly don't know if he was playing his hardest or best or putting everything he could into the match, but I felt as though at the time he was. I want to play my opponent at their absolute best whenever I have the chance to do so - so I can improve; as well as them. Since then, I've basically been addicted to it - I know that my opponent is trying their hardest because money is on the line and I'm learning and can see what actually would "could happen" in a tournament match - what would work and what wouldn't. Now every other Toon Link besides Jerm is easy. It finally "clicked".
Honestly I feel as though what Ozz said a couple pages back was 90% true. I want EVERYONE in this community to get better and become the best with the character regardless of who currently holds the title and what current position the player trying to pursue that goal is currently at. Everyone starts from somewhere, and everyone is a nobody at one point. And honestly, if you lose to someone - PLEASE be happy for your opponent, and REALLY don't get mad or angry or "politely" ask them to take down their accomplishments from any other board. Jerm I understand your reasons because I posted false information but Trela - calm down dude. I understand you've beaten me countless amounts of times and I even stated that in the thread. Ignoring me is totally childish - and I know you were because you signed out randomly thirty minutes later. I forgive you.
I know that if I lost to anyone that is currently below me on the PR that is in Houston I would be super happy for them - because I know they are improving. Why can't we support each other and build each other up? Rather then knock each other down all the time? I've sat and tried to help P4 and Leaf countless amounts of times on the Peach matchup and I have seen significant improvement recently. Noone besides Jerm and Smoom has ever tried to help me in any matchups. I try to push both everyone who currently isn't beating me so hard because I know one day they can be really good, I even once bet my whole "smash career" on a single set as a little test, I wanted to see p4 getting better and his playstyle drastically changed (positively)
Why can't we try we all just try our hardest all the time? That's when we will REALLY see improvement and results. I'm pretty sure that's what Gnes, Dojo, and Razer did. Hell, Gnes probably contributed to changing his character's tier list position drastically.
Anyways, I like all of the Houston scene alot - and I really really don't want to start anything with anyone at all, I just have to throw some things out there that I feel as though have to be said.
That's me in a nutshell I guess. If I'm "cocky" to any of you after reading this - then so be it.
.......................................
Alright, this probably isn't any of my business - but I don't care. Both of you two I consider to be good friends and I really really dislike reading this stupid ****. Xyro - I really can't believe you of ALL people would say something terrible like that. And no, I'm not being a baby - you do realize Esca is laying on a hospital bed right now with three holes in his chest? I'm also not reading your posts the wrong way, and I am dealing with it. I'm not trying to control what you do on the internet - but really? "Oh it's cool if I'm wrong! It was just a guess or an opinion!" that's ****ing stupid. You do realize Esca (after you posted) read what you said right? How do you think that would feel? Getting stabbed, then waking up the next day to find that one of your OTHER friends has basically stabbed you in the back? Honestly, I feel extremely sorry for your stepbrother and I understand why you are so quick to jump the gun on drugs and alcohol and I totally agree with you, but we are talking about ESCA here. If anything you should probably be trying to boost his spirits even IF he was turned on by his "drug buddies" or whatever because you probably understand what it is like to go through that because of your brother and his experience. Oh, and guess what? You were wrong - everyone isn't going around trying to do drug deals all the time, what a surprise. He was actually picking up a Nintendo64 that he lent to his friend.
I KNOW you aren't happy about Esca getting stabbed, and I honestly do believe you when you say that you dropped everything you were doing to figure out where he was staying, I really do.
But why wouldn't Esca feel good about going on Smashboards to read "Get well soon" or know we have him in our prayers? Honestly - please give me a solid reason. It's much better than "Oh, he probably got stabbed hanging out with some drug buddies - he deserves it".
I honestly regret ever sharing the information with you - I know for a fact that if ANYONE in this community EVER gets hurt like Esca is currently I would try to support them one hundred percent and I would definitely go visit them (which I'm probably going to - regardless if I get a ride with P4 or not).

I'd love to follow up on that. Truly I would. That one HOBO during the summer (July?) and I actually placed higher than past first round, and you were complimenting my Sheik. That was the one in a blue moon time frame where I was actually able to practice before a tournament and it wasn't Wi-Fi. I just can't find a good way to train on Wi-Fi and I can't make it to smashfests before tournaments.

Okay so, it seems the weather is supposed to get bad again Wednesday night. So I wanna go see Esca tomorrow at whatever time is best for most people. I can fit 4 people (excluding myself), Jerm, Gnes, and Illmatic get priority since I've already talked to them and they're black, Trela too if he can get his *** over to my house.
So talk to me and lets plan something for tomorrow.

leaf/zori could pick me and others up to visit?
its a question not volunteering anyone for anything.
edit: actually since this isn't a tourney if you can drive alot of people have them pay you gas money or w/e (not an outragoues amount). That way there wont be 5 without a ride who wanna visit but cant because the people who can drive all decided to carpool together.
just an idea <_<;
