Uploaded a few more videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/meleemasters#grid/user/2D0FF1CAADBF8F8F
Winner's and Loser's Quarters, Semis finals and GFs will be on that playlist soon. Have had 3 exams and 2 assignments this week which is why I've been a bit slow, sorry
Also, on the topic of terrible DI, I think this wins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GmD1-CUj_8&feature=player_detailpage#t=74s
Does anybody good have any advice for how I can do better next time? (not just DI - wise)

didn't see any camping with laser... just to mix it up and put that possibility in cao's mind.
seemed to eager for that kill in the first match, lots of upsmash... predictable desperate kill moves got you punished for 2 stocks
many times you drill shine -> upsmash but the shine doesn't hit, leaving you whiffing an up-smash and being vulnerable
many players do these predetermined set of attacks/inputs (redact comes to mind), whereas what you need to do is REACT
pleasantly surprised by your skill otherwise...
thanks for uploading, almost there!

The very first time I played Cao, he beat my Falco with Zelda and then Boozer.
At least he respected you enough to play Peach.
Cao stop disrespecting me!

Hey cphanso is good, he does use logic, he just lacks experience against good people. I do see him change his playstyle when he starts getting owned (atleast against me), so it's good to see that he has the ability to always reconsider his options.
I just think you're too used to practicing things on CPUs or someone that doesn't know as much about smash so there's still things you need to learn won't always work in every circumstance.
Keep it up though, you have potential for sure.

He forced me to play Peach -- I think my intention was Pichu, barely got through pools Pichu only
advice: far too much reliance on run-in to upsmash kill, so easy to block and punish that out of my sheild. work in more shield pressure kills using nair bair and grabs to KO.

yeah ijust watched the set and that's the most painfully obvious thing, you try to bait with wavedash backwards and run in usmash way too much. fox has a bajillion options for KO's and approaching in general, you need to utilize them all.

Fox vs Peach - don't even approach. Laser until they come to you, avoid peach's slow **** jump over her and bair if you get a chance. Repeat. Infinite wins.

More like campy fox doesn't work if you can't handle fighting up close in the first place
Just watch m2k's fox, he does it just fine

campy m2k fox > lose to armada
xtreme tech mango fox > beat armada 6-0

Well I notice mango's fox is extremely pressuring but he also throws in lasers whenever the peach tries to get away from the pressure. That seems like a good way to go about it, idk though, I'm bayudd
EDIT: CAO went peach because I asked him to. I was going to lose either way, so I wanted the most amount of knowledge I could possibly get from the match.

Bryte, if you were white and gay, I would so be hitting on you right now. <3
Also... Mmm I guess that 1-5 you made, Zac, before, is pretty good, except make it 1-6 and put Zxv as 6th. :D
I don't think me or Zac will really be much of a competition anymore, tho, considering we sort of only play when we verse each other, and not really anyone else. xD
Sorry for not trying harder, tho, for all those that... wanted me to, I don't know why you would, haha.
For the 100th time I've lost my passion for da game and the only one that brought it out was Cao but we didn't even get to play so I was all sad face.
Anywho.
I think I already did shout outs, but fully sik time.
Might watch the matches and cringe at all the mistakes I made.
Especially with the match with Dekar's Marth, urgh, I feel like I need to redeem myself with that.

Actually, I retract that.

Thats because mango is just purely better lol, theres a reason hes regarded as the best over there by a decent bit (despite him losing every tourney as link/falcon/marth rofl)
Campy fox can be done, it's just not a solution when youre already losing as turbo fox

I wrote up a post-tournament analysis, feel free to agree/disagree.
It is often that one can enter a tournament with the full knowledge to predict who will champion the event of the day. Yes, majors are capable of usurping surprise results, but these are usually answers to an unconfirmed pretext: the famous example being Corpsecreate in 2009.
Brisbane’s Power of One’s Melee events were unlikely to inspire any ballsy and defiant second-guessing of winners, as all of the dependable variables were present to pave way for yet another predictable and ‘boring’ result. Consensus amongst the community elite would have suggested a sustained CAOTIC vs. Kas rivalry that has dominated national tournament finals for the previous two years (excluding American interventions). Other Smash pundits would have also backed community favourite S.D to have clinched the title. However, The Power of One was rocked by a series of developments that nobody would have predicted.
No clear favourite had stepped up to claim the title, which may be a first in Australian tournament history. Traditional rivalries which had set the scene in Rocky and Robocop were irrelevant. The top two players were relegated to 4th and 5th place. The winner: a notoriously poor performer in the national circuit, Dekar.
The difficulty in the art of prediction is further exasperated by the psychology behind the unreliable game play choices made by some competitors. The victories made by this tournament’s top three: Dekar, S.D and ZXV, owed much to the weaknesses of their opposition. Some of these performances speak for themselves on video: S.D’s winners-semis performance over CAOTIC was a convincing W:3 - L:0 assassination.
On the other hand, Kas’ performances were elusive, yet typical of basket-case scenarios where players can decisively react to certain predicaments. Rebellious to the logic of Sirlin, some players will purposely decide to relax their competitive drive if they a) economise their efforts to win, in line with their self-assessed value of the social, financial, and entertainment stakes, or b) have assessed their match to be unwinnable. a) and b) may also co-exist.
Despite these observations… there are amazing competitors, like ZXV, who always try.
The ambiguous mixture of competitive and uncompetitive drivers has always and will continue to influence our future results. With all due respect to the winners and the ‘new-era’ talent showcased in ANZ Stadium, these rationalisations are penultimate to underlying power of talent.

Hey, I asked other people to commentate, many of which the people you suggested, and hardly anybody wanted to. Even bad commentary is better than none. You'll notice in the grand finals I get some more people. Don't hate me for trying to make the commentary decent, I'm sorry if it isn't satisfactory but I'm still a new player.

I would normally have helped out with commentary dude but I was content to just relax and watch the matches for a change - sorry.
I think you're pretty well spot on there Cao - I think the most driven competitors are the ones who will continue to achieve the best results.
