YbM, Smash 64, AlphaZealot
hey, I lost to those people!
ZSS, Ness, and Diddy respectively.
I have no idea what to do against ZSS >_> I moneymatched another ZSS player and lost, though I guess it helped me learn the matchup a little bit more. I had forgotten how ABSOLUTELY ******** her down B kick is. I forgot that it's super strong even after it's been out for a long time, and I can't beat it with Bair so I just have to wait and punish :/
And now I'm 0-3 against Smash 64. I can't beat good Ness players :/ I managed to beat a Ness in pools, barely, and he was .... a new player, or at least kind of new. I probably would have lost if he'd been playing longer. :/\/\/\/
So yeah, I beat ROB, Ness, and some Toon Link guy in pools, and lost to YbM's ZSS and Capem's MK. Capem placed like third. YbM placed high, not sure exactly where because results aren't up.
Then in brackets I lost to Smash 64's Ness, beat a G&W with relative ease, and then lost to AZ's Diddy. I did much, much better against AZ than I have before though (I'm 0-3 against him now) so at least I know I'm getting better at the Diddy matchup. I almost beat him on Frigate but he made a nice comeback. I wouldn't have won anyway if the stage didn't own him at one point.
I only got one match recorded :/ I moneymatched a Marth named Steel Samurai and, of course, lost. I only got the first match recorded, I'll try to get it uploaded sometime. I'm good at getting tipper Fsmashed and killed at like 70.
All in all it was a fun tournament, but it's clear I won't be able to compete with the people that go to tournies almost weekly because they're local if I don't have anyone to practice with >_>
I wanted to MM m2k but we left and I was having too much fun playing Melee and Brawl-, which is amazing. I'll just assume he would have trashed me like he did everyone else in the freaking tourney.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I main Roy in Melee now because Kirby is so ****ing terrible, but I did counterpick Kirby+Brinstar against some dude in the Melee $1 side tourney, and I
almost beat him. I haven't played Kirby in a long time since I've been practicing Roy, so that's part of the reason I lost. I would've lost the set anyway because I sux. Kirby's even more amazing on Brinstar in Melee. His Downthrow is guaranteed to send them through the stage if you do it on the breakable part.
