Hippie. Talk to me on AIM when I get home.
I got you. I've been playing the game competitively for almost three years now.
A2 also knows his stuff so you can talk to him too.

I use Mario, G&W, Luigi, ROB, Ganondorf, Bowser, Marth, Metaknight, Ike, Captain Falcon, and Lucas. (only the first three for tournament)

I try to be versatile. My next goal is to learn to use Link.

Mario, Link, Pit, Snake.

I play a lot of Ike in friendlies and am working on my Snake to be used in tournament.
Right now Mario and Link are my two best with Pit catching up. I'm probably gonna work on Meta Knight too. As gay as he is, he's kinda fun.

I only use Mario. I should probably pick up another char. Another 10char, even.
I C WAT U DID THAR! Ur so clever!

I can only play Mario well. I've tried other characters, but I suck with them all in comparison...and lol @ the notion that I have the patience to learn TWO characters... I'm trying to learn every match-up really well though so it's not so bad sometimes.

Flameleon is THEE ****...everyone go watch his vids now.

Right now.

Like...don't reply. Just go.

Been there done that.

Flameleon plays in a way that I believe really represents what most Mario mains should aim to do, although I would simply orgasm if I saw he implemented the Sliding Up-smash in one of his matches.

You don't even need to sliding Up Smash to chase down airdodges or rolls... you can do that with a normal Hyphen Smash.
You don't get to slide as far and thus you don't get to have as much surprise factor for charging Up-smash.

There's a number of people who will spotdodge when you rush them down, which is punishable with charged Up-smash, and pulling off a sliding Up-smash there also lets you get more power off of Up-smash.

He used it in one vid...but I'm not sure if it was the sliding Usmash you discovered A2Z.

He slid pretty far though and was charging it along the way

I used to think Lucas was even, until I realized just how little range he actually has.

And do come to Cali. Cali >>>> all.

I feel bad, because, my goal was to get videos of ALL matchups and i couldn't accomplish that, mainly because the lack of some Hlvl players of one specific char...

Been there done that.

Flameleon plays in a way that I believe really represents what most Mario mains should aim to do, although I would simply orgasm if I saw he implemented the Sliding Up-smash in one of his matches.
Ohh, i'm honored...and, i think that i've used it once or twice...against a g&w and...i can't remember the other one x9, but yeah, i'm trying to find a better way to use it, because, it's not really reliable like Falco's DACUS or smthing like that, mainly because our hitbox comes first from the back...

flame save up money, get a pass port, and come to a big socal tournament!
I would do that if i could but i think that if i go to U.S, the only place where i'll go is to TX, where Xyro and all those brawlers are +.+

My craptastic internet won't allow me to see Flameon's videos :(.
That's bad :<

Flame is too good.
:D

He has really unique ways of implementing FLUDD for mindgames, he needs to start playing offline...now! :p.
Actually, what you guys might don't know is that i actually play offline...and i play A LOT, mainly because all my crew members comes every weekend to my house to play and stuff like that. I can do a lot of things a Mario can imagine on Wifi, that's the reason i play on it and it helps me to get some things out to work on offline...also, my offline lvl is like x3 times greater than my Wifi lvl ;)

He used it in one vid...but I'm not sure if it was the sliding Usmash you discovered A2Z.

He slid pretty far though and was charging it along the way
True, i was trying to figure how to use it in a good way...

-Sigh...and when i thought that general thread wasn't very interesting x9...-

P.D: the Mario forum looks nice :D...

This is the usual.
It really bothers me when I see comments like "I'm so much better offline than I am online." It REALLY bothers me.

I've got some vidzzzzzz, hold on, imma link them. Somebody critique me!

Matador (Mario) vs PinkFresh (Lucas)


Matador (Mario) vs PinkFresh (Wario)

I love seeing my Mario on youtube again ^_^
Matador, your Mario is sooo sexy. It's just fantastic, all the feigns you did were genius. You used empty short-hops amazingly, you rapidly could change directions like a shrew, and you could adapt to new situations really fast. If a fireball was near them, you could work off of it extremely well and use jab cancels straight from situations that there was barely any time to react to. Plus, the Wario cape **** was sexy.

The only problems I noticed were that you used the cape stall in some sketchy situations where he could have punished you severely if he caught on to it, then one time where you cape stalled right above a platform, where I don't think could bring you any sort of an opening in any situation, but I could be wrong. You could have used some more devastating punishers on the more laggy of his moves (up smash), but you chose to dthrow. One time I saw you nair a Wario too close and he grabbed you out of it. Other than that, I thought it was spectacular.

Much obliged Veggi ^_^

And yeah, I was getting punished all night for misplaced cape stalls...gotta get better at predicting with my mix-ups.

And I'm trying to implement a little more Dthrow, charged smashes and upB into my game. Ordinarily my go-to punisher is Dsmash, but I'm trying to move from that. I agree though, my choices are a bit odd sometimes XD

And my spacing needs work, lol.

Nah, not so much anymore. I still play at fests and sometimes at school just to stay frosty. I'm not gonna lie and say the lack of playing hasn't set me back a ways though...

Pink's Lucas is amaaaaaazing. Fun playing him, definitely.
