First off Ken, I will **** you in a Melee Marth ditto, and with Sheik, and with Fox, if you’re talking about at the moment, and if you don’t think so I’ll gladly money match you for that/those titles, otherwise I don’t want to hear it. I have gotten a lot better in the past year and past few months just from playing on weekends, which is all I really do anymore besides when I play with friends (which is mostly just on the weekends), which is where most of my play time comes. Only in 05/06 did I practice alone, but I had no experience at all so I was stupid and got ***** by simple things all the time. I have plenty of room for improvement and I do constantly improve just from attending tourneys, and I have no doubt that at Melee I am a lot better at the game than you are right now, you who just claims all the time to not even care about the game but do fine, that’s not hard when you already developed tons of skill from playing over the past several years. I could immediately stop caring about Melee right now if I wanted, that wouldn’t erase all the ability I’ve gained for the game though.
I have no doubt that you are better than me at Brawl with Marth, my favorite Brawl character is DDD, I use him the most, have the most fun with him, and will probably be the best with him. I never claimed to be so great at all, and I also don’t enjoy the game, I don’t play it much cept mainly on weekends, I will probably do stat tests because I want to contribute things to the community. Despite me not liking the game, I still am willing to do things for people even for tedious, boring tasks just because it’s something useful, productive, and can provide interesting info to people and if that helps them in any way or satisfies their curiosity or anything good at all then I’m happy. Sorry for not liking Brawl, and I’m sorry for speaking my mind about it, even though originally it was requested by some people on gamefaqs which is where this all started in the first place (the bad review of the game I mean).
I have fine “mindgames” which are basically things that you can gain over experience, which is what I can still get over time, you are saying it like all I have is tech skill, which is completely wrong, it’s just something I could develop alone in my spare time, I haven’t practiced tech skill things in like a year though. I’m not a stupid kid I just don’t have nearly as much experience as you do, most of the hours I’ve played this game were pre-tourney just messing around with things on my own to entertain myself before I knew there was a community, I spent maybe a few hundred hours of the game after I learned there was tourneys for practice, but the rate of improvement I made was still very similar to what it’s been in the past year to what it was previous, so it didn’t make much of a difference at all, and I don’t have any motivation to do it with Brawls arrival now.
Basically I’m saying I don’t care about Melee anymore very much because nobody is going to play it anymore, if ppl were going to play it more I would care about it, so I don’t want to hear that either. And since I don’t enjoy Brawl, I don’t “care” about that either. There, I’m now doing the same thing you did tons of times before about how you “don’t care” about melee, being just as legit.
But come on Ken, seriously, wtf, why are you so condescending towards me, I don’t recall going into your threads to say bad stuff about you. You have 3 years of tourney experience over me, that is an extremely big important thing. You can learn SO much stuff playing people, I’m still in a learning process, just experimenting with things, I have so much room to grow, as does everyone. Melee is really that great a game that you can just learn stuff all the time and get better/smarter from it. I had to play catch up for a really long time; I was horrible most of the time, I’ve only been good recently, and even though I have inconsistencies here and there, I generally improve by a good margin every few months or so. I’m sorry I don’t have any good youtube vids or pre-05/06 accomplishments, that doesn’t make the current me or my current skill level bad though, cuz again, I have plenty of room for improvement, as does any and everyone, there is no disputing this at all cuz it’s the truth.
I don’t know why you always seem to hate me so much, you posted in the Evo World thread how you have the best marth and you said bad things in the Evo World interview. I don’t recall saying bad things about you anywhere, if so please find them and point them out to me. You can think what you want but don’t be so publicly condescending. Back when I mained Fox you never seemed to have a problem with me, then suddenly you did after that.
edit - the reason I jumped in is because I saw it, and I didn't see it before now. I really don't like it when other people get disrespected for no good reason, unless they deserve it, but I haven't said anything bad about him but he decides to come in and say stuff about me like seriously wtf. Reputation is something I care about, as is respect, I don't really ask for much, I generally know what I'm talking about but I try not to give off too much of an elitist vibe but I'm pretty blunt about what I have to say; basically I just go on the boards to help people. I respect ken's skill and the way he acts in person, but the way he talks online and puts down others is being really immature.
edit 2 - my motivation to be the best is mostly gone due to not liking the game and melee being over, but I would still like to be good at it. Thought I would also add that in.
edit 3 -
i wish m2k didnt have such a self-defeatist attitude..
if it wasnt for his nervousness/panicing, i think m2k would destroy everyone, including ken. after all, in the fading days of melee, m2k's marth was leagues above ken's, and i am not exaggerating. but from speaking with him, m2k seems really down about brawl, so i dont expect too much.
to clarify things, that post is accurate, I might as well say everything in one gigantic post to get it all out of the way as I read all the pages of this thread. I don't care how I sound right now I'm being as honest as possible with everything cuz I'm mad.
edit 4 - why does it matter who's better, we're both good players, it doesn't even matter and won't affect your lives, and if people want to know in Melee as long as I'm playing good then yes I am a better because I know a lot more tahn he does and I use a lot more characters and he quit for too long.
edit 5 - i don't CARE About being the best in brawl I'll play it because everybody else is, but if something isn't fun then it doesn't matter, at least that's how I see things. I don't care about being the best at a game I don't like, I just like to help people on the boards, get decent at the game, win some tourneys and have fun on weekends with smash, but I always prefer melee over this, and me and Scar/Eggm do too. It's much less fun playing a game that might die though. I hope Azen becomes the best.
edit 6 - memphischains you don't know the people in the community at all, I actually have a good idea of how people are, if you base off rumors you're mistaken. It makes me sad when people just listen to the bad rumors about people, I try to make my own opinions based off what I see for myself, too bad most people won't do that. Even though ken's been a **** in this thread I will personally say that I've heard a lot of rumors about him and very few to none of them are true, same goes for myself. Don't think I don't visit many boards I go to smashboards gamefaqs 4chan luelinks random other stuff too and I use AIM all the time and read youtube comments and things I know how the masses think and what they say.
there I said everything I wanted to, that feels better.
lol
...i did notice. And despite Ken starting to get bashed in this thread now...he hasn't jumped in either, which is also impressive. To m2K and Ken: Glad to see you guys realize that what anyone on these forums says means absolutely nothing. Why has this thread turned so violent? And why are (a few) people purposely mis-interpreting Ken's post? I had no idea Ken had so many haters...jeez....
