Rango the Mercenary
The Mercenary
Since I don't live in a center which is yet very big for tournaments and competition, the last time I had a competition of that nature was CEO, and before that, MomoCon. Besides those, we host bi-weekly tournaments at our local venue. Otherwise, I practice the way I've been practicing since Brawl - online.
Between the advice I get on the matchup threads and how well I do my best to space attacks properly and still get punished for even the simplest of jabs, I'm starting to believe online screws Ike over more than I've been giving it credit for. I've been told Wi-Fi Sonic players can abuse it incredibly well, and I've had problems spacing out characters like King Dedede and Lucario, the latter of which can abuse UTilts with huge range and juggle potential.
Since I don't want to go dull, I practice online and deal with it on Smashladder. But honestly, I'm wondering just how detrimental online play is to the Ike user who dares to bring him online. Do you feel a complete and utter difference, knowing deep down you could 2-stock the player who is giving you trouble just because of the latency?
