(IS) Anyone else here like me?

[itsameSMB]

I would not say that I'm a noob when it comes to smash, but to be honest, I've only competed in one tournament, and I was creamed. In retrospect, those I played against weren't that phenominal either! What do you call someone like that... scrub, right?

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else here isn't a tournament player, or haven't played in one at all. Oh, and if you aren't, don't flame anyone here who is. It doesn't make you look any better, and frankly, it isn't funny.

 

[Ørion]

I'm like you, never been in a tournament. I've been playing since the first one, but never been to a tournament. I was too young before, but would like to start to competing. I would just pick up information on forums and practice. I have a question though, how do you find out about tournaments?

 

[D13]

I'm kind of young to be going to tourneys, that's why I've never been in one. I might think about it when I have a license.

 

[Andromeda]

I haven't been to a Smash Tourney either. But I'm so isolated from everything where I live, and would have a very hard time to attend to them.

 

[itsameSMB]

I have a question though, how do you find out about tournaments?

The one I entered was stumbled upon by chance when my dad saw the ad for it in the newspaper. I suppose you could look on the tourney boards if you wanted to enter one of those.

Some countries have their own competitive smash scene, some of them have their own forums except for smashboards. Most of them are listed in the Region section of the Tournament boards, I think.

 

[Fafnir]

I'm in a similar boat, I don't really get to tournies much, but I know my stuff. And almost everyone I know sucks at smash.

So although I'm better then quite a few people, I'm not at a competative level yet. My best advice is to simply fight people who are better then you, and just keep getting better until you can finally fight on an equal level with them. For example, one guy kept beating me like nothing before, and then I fought him again yesterday, and I managed to do some real damage to him, getting him down to his last stock(3 stock matches) many times, sometimes putting him in tight positions.

...Like you as a friend? Or like like you?

 

[parkermortensen]

No, no one else here likes you.

 

[GraveNeedle]

...Like you as a friend? Or like like you?

Heh heh...to be honest, I thought of the same exact thing when I saw the title.

Anyway, I would definately not call that a scrub. My defination of scrub is somebody that brags about skill they don't have. You very plainly admitted your loss, so I'd never call you a scrub.

Back on topic, I'm not sure if it'd be so far fetched to say that half of this entire board has never been to a tournament (me being in that, by the way). Even though it doesn't look like it at first, you'd be surprised how many casual-playing people go here.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Never been to one, live in Oregon, not driving to CA just for a Smash tourney.

 

[Waggles]

Same, never been to a tourney, might go to one if i can find out where some are though

 

[MetaKnight0]

I totally love the ambigious title lol

 

[Tofu Beast]

I'm suprised there haven't been any flames.......

Maybe Smashboards does have hope.....

 

[Marie_54]

I haven't been in any tournaments but i'm not a noob so i'm somewhere in between?

People need to be more honest... *puts up a flame shield*

I'd say I'm in the same boat as you. But when I actually thought about it, I came to the conclusion that I'm nowhere near as good as I thought I was and would likely get totally pwned by tournament players...

I don't think I'm bad...but I don't think I'm amazing.

 

[Dreiko]

I started smashing with brawl so i sure haven't been at tournaments but i have no trouble pwning people online (both random with stupid items and stages and FC matches with no items on normal stages) and i've put around 170 hours on it already so i'm definitely no noob.

 

[itsameSMB]

So, then the answer is "Yes, plenty"?

 

[MarthTrinity]

Yep.

Spoiler

10ayayayayaya's!

 

[lycrof]

It seems in my part of Canada competative gaming isn't a high priority with anyone. Getting good for me is just to get some bragging rights for whenever me and my friends get together and play.

 

[TICO]

i have never been in a tournament besides school ones, but i have beaten players that have won tournaments, so that must mean something.

 

[_Slick_]

I actually played a tourney today, and didn't play that well. Sure, I played "good", but it wasn't to my full potential.

 

[etrain911]

Like you, I've only been to one at the GameStop, It was the first timne I played Brawl and it was with the wiimote and nunchuck attachment. Needless to say I accidently paused the game a few times before ending up in sudden death and accidently killing myself. From then on, I swore to GC controllers. I wouldn't say I'm a scrub though. None of us are. I mean, we're all versed in Melee.

this thread equivalent of

[Corigames]

It doesn't make you look any better, and frankly, it isn't funny.

I'll decide that thank you very much.

 

[Corigames]

I...i have no trouble pwning people online...and i've put around 170 hours on it already so i'm definitely no noob.

How can I put this?

Uh... no.

 

[Buci01]

I'm from Germany and we have a smash scene there... but my problem is: I live like in the northy-est town of germany and would drive 2-3 hours for a tourney... so no, I have never been to one. And i would look like a nerdy geek if I would drive so many kilometers just for a videogame

 

[Shadow Calibur]

I've been to one small Melee tourney. Managed to get 4th place.

I would say I'm better than some of the Smash players in my area, but I'm nowhere near as good as the tourney elite.

Heh heh, good one! (Yes, I know the joke was made at my expense)

 

[kazaken455]

I have never been in a tournement either. I'm not a noob though. I know I would get my butt kicked by smash elite though XD That is kinda why I wanted to start a smash clan for casual people who aren't proffesionals or whatever. But the guy I was gonna do it with hasn't been on for a long time T.T;

 

[rove]

I'm like you.
I haven't been to a tournament at all.
And I know I can go, I can just skate there.
But I seriously have other things better to do then just waist my time when I know im going to lose in the long run because of geeks who live only for games.
Not trying to flame, but thats a reason why I dont go.
