how do you guys train to become a pro??

[dragonairex]

haven't play the game for a while,
i was completely amazed of the techniques and speed of the attacks!

how on earth DO you guys train youself to something like that?

 

[tennisthehilife]

In Brawl? I think you should go to the Melee boards and ask. Well if you just want to get good then you should read the guides. If you want to become pro and make money, iono.

 

[Hejiru]

Hours and hours and hours and hours of practice.

(Ok, I dont really know, I cant wavedash or anything either I knida suck at Smash ;p)

 

[Jigglymaster]

Talent, Age, reaction skills, the character you play best with, knowledge of the game, Close access to players with your amount of skill level, ability to go to many tournaments, ect.

 

[Darkurai]

Just by playing really.
I never really thought about training myself to become awesome though. As long as I'm having a good time, I can't care less about whether I'm winning or losing.

The fact that I wavedash occasionally to taunt my friends (I never use it in actual combat), can easily hit someone with all the strikes in Marth's Dancing Blade, and have perfect timing with Marth's Counter means nothing.

to train and become like that you have to choose. to have an actual life and have fun with smash or to have a virtual life and be a smash "pro"? nuff said...

I got a life, and can still beat the local "pros" at my university, I don't even own melee and it came to a point where they didn't let me play, practice is good, but not all, what good is practice if you don't know how to think? My cousin practices all day every day, and has never been able to beat my sheik and like i said, i don't even own melee (alexis you suck, y te voy a partir en brawl tambien), oh and he WD/l-cancels a lot, still can't beat me (again, you suck alexis)

disregard this post...

Most games, and i doubt smash bross is any different, require only so much skill.. plenty time to have a life next to it. It kind of depends on the lvl of play. you have those guys in korea playing certain games like starcraft for 12 hours every day just for practice... But thats the upmost top of one of the most known and competative games that i know of

Still few hours a day of pure practice wouldnt hurt, and the only way to really get good is indeed play against humans, as a computer lacks any form of creativity and strategy

Age has NOTHING to do with video game skill (well you can be too old I guess.

you can still have a life and be a pro player. I don't see why people never realize this.

Joke post?

 

[Doggalina]

I'm not a pro or anything, but I improved my Falcon by watching videos of G-reg, Isai, Tapion, etc. Watching videos in general helps you understand the game more, and in Smash, knowledge is power. Oh, and I practiced SHFFLing until it was a muscle memory thing. I don't have to think about it anymore.

Oh, and read some guides. Angelo Bangelo's Falcon guide helped me a ridiculous amount.

 

[Linkster47]

This thread should belong in the Melee section, or not belong at all, I think there was a joke thread like this somewhere.

 

[dragonairex]

well, i was just asking for some general advice.
thanks anyway~
and thanks to everybody

 

[Smo]

Well, to increase the speed of their movement, advanced players use wavedashing. Look this one up. And to improve the speed of attacks, advanced players use L-cancelling.

Look around the boards you'll find loads of advice on how to play. Check character specific to learn to play as your fave chars...

Good luck

This thread needs to be locked.

Look for the advanced how to play videos on youtube. Thats basically the beginners guide into a higher level of play. Thats what I watched 2 years ago (give or take a couple months). I was amazed when I learned of the advanced play too lol.

My 2 year old sister doesn't seem to be very skilled either..

At least not as good as an 18 year old might be after picking up a controller for the first time.
