Q&A How to Wreck *****es with Ganon?- Linguini Q&A Thread

[G. Vice]

G. Vice: You looking for a teammate for FC?

Possibly, I'm not sure yet. I talked to one of my friends who's oldschool like me and started with me and he might team with me. I'll keep you posted.

Once Melee online is out, I'll MM you, and pay you back whenever I meet you in person.

They said there probably won't be a demo for Melee Online at FC, unfortunately.

We can MM if you want. But since I'll be meeting you for the first time, I'd hate for it to be in a competition over money instead of just having some fun friendlies.

Your call.

we should team yo

 

[RaphaelRobo]

This discussion has made me very interested in what a good Ganon/DK team would like like.

 

[Strong Badam]

If G Vice and I team, you'll see.

 

[Ripple]

I challenge that statement SB. me and Pseudo could wreck you

 

[Bl@ckChris]

i would put everything i own on G. vice and SB over ripple and psuedo.

because G. Vice.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

I want to see G. Vice and SB against Ripple and Pseudo.

I think G. Vice and SB would probably win, though.

 

[Strong Badam]

Sounds like a money match to me...

 

[G. Vice]

I want to see G. Vice and SB against Ripple and Pseudo.

I think G. Vice and SB would ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY win, though.

Agreed.

I'm down Strongbad, I'll take Ripple and Pseudo, you stand there and look intimidating.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

i honestly think that's what the set would look like.

maybe a down B on the other side of the screen to distract the opponent from the incoming **** lol.

 

[Strong Badam]

dibs on blue team

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

blue team the best

Dude. Blake. What the hell are you getting me into?

^ Watch that. Yea.

dibs on blue team

Absolutely not.

I'm blue. Always have been, always will be. Da-ba-dee da-ba-die (I apologize for that)


But out of respect for my ganon-slaying partner, I will also accept this money match! Keep in mind I've been playing for around 4, maybe 5, months. Those are my johns and I will stick to them.

 

[PseudoTurtle]

Melee online

Is this a real thing? IS THIS A REAL THING?!?!

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Agreed.

I'm down Strongbad, I'll take Ripple and Pseudo, you stand there and look intimidating.

Are you saying you aren't as good at looking Intimidating as Strong Bad is? You're playing Ganondorf, he's supposed to be the most intimidating character in any game.

Is this a real thing? IS THIS A REAL THING?!?!

There's been a topic about it in Melee Discussion for ages. I know they were hoping to have a demo at FC, but it sounds like it won't be ready. Whenever it's out, we'll finally be able to have a Ganon ditto.

 

[Ripple]

Strong bad about to be strong MAD

 

[G. Vice]

Strong bad about to be strong MAD

Lol...nice. But seriously, if I'm able to go to FC, let's do this thing for real. Sounds fun.

 

[Divinokage]

I will hype it up! =P

 

[Renth]

REMINDER:

Registration deadline is AUGUST 1st.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

So, I can come to FC if one of you is willing to pay for my plane flight, hotel, entry fee, and bribe my professors to get me out of skipping research and classes.

Any volunteers?

 

[Ripple]

Bribe? I think you mean intimidate

 

[RaphaelRobo]

That would require you coming in person. The only people who can do that easily are Chris, PP, and Kage.

 

[Renth]

Green Ranger (DK) Vs. Renth (Ganon)

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

says the guy who's ganon loses to my terrible marth

lol it doesn't get slayed, we went about 50/50. That matchup still perplexes me, tho I tihnk im a lil better at it now. I suck at edge gaurding him, I don't kill him.

 

[Divinokage]

Trail I'll show you the light, then youll be 80-20 at least.

Trail you have to mix up that light shielding hog if he decides to grab the ledge or just straight up Dair/reverse uair. Also if he HAS to grab the ledge from low (Sweetspot) You can just grab the edge or Dair him again. lol.

Or you can be fancy and do like wavelands go way out there and bair haha. I like this one personally. (Though I do it as he's using side-B so he's still in lag in the air and he cannot jump or use up-b during that time, VERY important to know.) I believe Falcons use this also.

 

[-ACE-]

edgeguarding marth is cake

 

[Divinokage]

New thing I'm going to add to my play is using Up-B in funny ways and the way it should be done too.. I have to implement it I think. It's needed at this point imo, it can give openings you wouldn't normally be able to get.

Green Ranger (DK) Vs. Renth (Ganon)

Nice matches. That last stock was sooo sick.

 

[PseudoTurtle]

Learn to ledge drop uair. Works wonders.

Also, read your fb messages when you get the chance. Its about ian/eikelmann's arrival

 

[Ripple]

that DK was sloppy. tsk tsk

don't expect such kindness from me

 

[Strong Badam]

Sloppy's a bit unnecessary. More rough around the edges. We've been using the Kong for a lot longer than Ranger has, cut him some slack Rip.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

edgeguarding marth is cake

Try me

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Is this topic turning into the DK thread, or something?

I suppose that's alright. I mean, SB and Ripple seem to be cool people.

 

[PseudoTurtle]

Hey, chris, raph, and ace (and anyone I may have forgotten):

You all live in NC, right? im actually taking a trip there starting this Saturday until like next Sunday or something.

How far do you all live from the outer banks? id be down for getting in a couple games or so if its relatively doable.

 

[Renth]

He also before we played said he didn't have the match up experience either. I think he did great for being a newer player and not knowing how to fight ganon.

that DK was sloppy. tsk tsk

don't expect such kindness from me

I play with RockCrock I'm not afraid of DK players

New thing I'm going to add to my play is using Up-B in funny ways and the way it should be done too.. I have to implement it I think. It's needed at this point imo, it can give openings you wouldn't normally be able to get.

Here's a few:

When someones above you on a platform and you short hop they will shield every time assuming you're going to up air, take the free Up b instead.

Obviously i'm sure you know, up b out of shield is great! especially when someones tapping on your shield from behind.

When you're being edge guarded and you know someone is waiting for you to try to sweet spot a lot of the time I intentionally up b directly into them hoping to grab them. (which usually works)

I'm in Raleigh. I believe Ace and Chris both live close to the outer banks.
