Get some better hacks, but what Kuro said shouldn't apply to your hacks since youll be using someone else's wii to save the replay on your sd card.

or you could just get a 2gig sd and be totally fine with the hacks AND replays on one sd. and since wiis don't recognize sd cards bigger than 2 gigs there is no reason to go bigger and they are like $14

most of my vids are 2011. the ones against pulse's snake, d12's snake, and the first two weegee, fox, and diddy mus are november and december 2010 as that is when we got the wii these were recorded on.

im not saying im the greatest in the world but damn it i earned the title of best pit in norcal for a reason and i compete at an equall level with rich brown (the best olimar), zex (best in norcal, second best marth), tc1, and other ranked peeps. problem is a lot those weren't posted cause blaze won't send me my ****ing replays from cali cause hes too busy ****ing his girlfriend and playing brawl with other people

Maharba your texture is pretty tight too :) Whoever made the rainbow arrows/slash marks, they did a good job on them too.

those were entertaining. but ima critique u with just this one piece of advice....


LEARN HOW TO USE AND SNAG BANANAS WITH PIT!!! as i watched i kept thinking to myself, "kuro why didn't u just glide toss into pivot smash," or "kuro don't u know pit's glide toss alwasy places him close enough to the nana to pick it back up (a natural dribble)," or the biggest one was "AAHHHHH! KURO IF WHY DIDN"T U JUST WING DASH TO PICK UP THAT NANA!?!?! U WOULDN"T HAVE DIED"

i mean u comboed well with them and all but you just need to practice more gt stuffz

haha ya ik glide toss with pit is epic. I still am one of the ones advocating it as a benefit of the mu. Just didnt see many "safe" opportunities. That and i like controlling them in a way like marth instead. Ya wing dash to pick up usually isnt the first option to come into my mind cuz of the ridiculous range of pit's grounded full hop aerials to pick up nanerz. It's like he has an invisible god hand that says GIMME UR NANERZ U DEMON :laugh: thx though.

btw do you know of any good vids to watch for pit vs olimar? i really need to watch stuff to learn. I got that sharingan eye ;)

oh i wasn't payin attention to the dates. i was just having problems even finding vids.

and sure kuro ill post my vids where i make the most use out of loops that i have posted already. my friend blaze is sending me my replays and im getting a wii on my next pay check (i just got hired at target today!) but some of my best examples are not posted yet so i will be sure to do get them up when i get my replays

okay kuro i went through and found these vids. however before you watch em you will notice that i don't loop often throughout any of them. this is because (and i will never be able to stress this enough) looping imo is ONLY useful if you can predict where your opponent is going to be and/or what your opponent will do next, and when you want to stall ur opponent's actions for a second by creating a hitbox to stop them from going to that spot (in this case ur aren't even really trying to hit with the arrow). honestly i would say i use loops like nanas or c4 more than i actually use them to combo with. but don't worry ill point out what i was thinking at the time too (that being said not all of these are successful, they are just the only examples i have uploaded)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bcpV-j-riw

at 1:50 you will see me use delayed vertical looping in order to try and set up a kill.
at 4:20 i knew he would grab me so i was hoping he would pummel me until the arrow set up the fsmash kill.
at 5:26 i was going for the baloon. this is by far the most important thing anyone ever can do (i mean who can resist gettin the baloon?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zqtj33SxL0
4:55 i knew he would sh dair off that platform so i killed him. but notice i never really had any other need to loop throughout that whole match because until the end none of the above loop criteria came into effect. but when it did, i won.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5sdduupwnk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck6ThVm0DkE

here i really was just spacing and trying to create openings with loops. unfortunately you'll notice my arrow game was a lil off as i forgot to adjust arrow height for some of his move animations.

btw ive gotten better at looping since these were posted and at recognizing the proper time too so when i get new wii stuff i will post better vids for ya

I dont quite understand your logic in using AR so much(while facing the wrong direction half a stage away from your foe). I found your arrow game to be exemplary especialy your final kill in the second video(Arrow Loop>sweet spot Bair was win). Blaze started getting obvious with the Dairs and you did a good job punishing that. If i had to say one negative thing it would be that you arrow looped a little too predictably sometimes and you got punished for it.

When I AR facing the other way it's usually a failed pivot arrow. This is probably the case since obviously it makes no sense to AR like that.

OFFICIAL Pit video critique thread



http://www.youtube.com/user/AlwaysthePitmains?feature=mhum

This is the Pit youtube channel. In this thread you will request and post mediafire links that you would like recorded. This makes ease of access for all recorders. If no one responds in this thread(which shouldnt happen) Pm someone from the list of recorders which will be posted shortly. EVERYONE WHO CAN RECORD POST IN HERE FIRST SO I CAN MAKE THE LIST.
RECORDERS:

Xcallion
Krystedez:low priority recorder
Luckay4lyphe
TKBro
Notes:
1) this is the whole purpose. If you yourself cnt record the many who can and have volunteerd will take of it for you. This way its not that much work for ONE person and we all have a much more organized and useful way of utilizing videos. (Will create playlists based on mu and separating tourney matches/MM etc. etc.)

2) The whole point is a reference to mu's so preferably (unless its a tourney/MM)only upload mu's u are familiar with or have a concept of how to approach the mu. No need for us to put videos of pit's getin ***** in a mu they dont know. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT!!!! You just must know how to approach it and a general knowledge. This way we learn from ur mistakes and successes. We'll save that for the critique thread ;). The goal is with the entirety of the pit board participating every mu will have been covered by som1 to some extent. You just have to find those ppl and challenge em. I highly suggest an extra 160-320 mb sd card to make getting/sending replays much easier. Its only about $5.

3) i will make a thread where you can post the mediafire links or already recorded matches to be transferred to our YT page.

Any1 who can record THEMSELVES( meaning u record not a friend Unless the friend just gives u the MP4 files) say so directly. In the thread i make i will have a list of recorders. Again please state directly "i can record" so i know who else to give the info to. Thx guys. Let's make this an awesome fun thing we have that NO OTHER CHARACTER BOARD will have :colorful:

IF YOU ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY DONT HAVE AN OUTSIDE RECORDER NOT FROM THE PIT BOARDS TO RECORD MATCHES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE CRITIQUED THEN THE RECORDERS SHOULD WILL DO IT. HOWEVER IT WILL COME AFTER THE VIDS DIRECTLY FOR THIS YT PAGE. <3 you guys.
Let's have this project Flourish.:)

Not gonna critique those vids in detail since they're wifi, but since this guy put in the effort to commentate I'll give some tips.

Stop being so aggressive at 0 percent. Falco has a better grab than we do so if you're close then he WILL grab you or jab to grab or some crap. Plank on the ledge for a little bit if you have to. At least stay near the edge so if you do get chaingrabbed, he has to end it sooner.

If you're forced to up b, fly to the other side of the stage because Pit can do that. Falco gimped you and you shouldn't let that happen.

Stop spamming smashes when you want the kill because he is just going to shield all day.
