Nah man that ain't me

I used to be bald

Sure mac

Can you run it on your computer? if so yes

Clearwater...they got pretty cool beaches...plus I live there...seems good am I right? Tampa has Bush Gardens which is a Zoo and a Rollercoaster Fun Time Park all in one

Finally someone asked this question. Monk= My wisdom, Honkey="Honky, Honkey or Honkie is a predominantly American derogatory racial slur for white people.", and Banana is just a cool word

Vato Break

Q. how did you get into competitive smash?
A. my friend got me to go to a melee tourney once.long story short got ***** =[.... i quit competitive melee because i was really big headed and thought i was the **** lol few months later i got brawl on release and played casually for a bit then i kinda got **** with mario and i wanted to prove to myself that i could get far with him agianst top players... so i went to quizno tournaments and didn't do too well till like the 4th one i went to...the last quiznos i got 7th/64 in low tiers though and i got like 40/100 in regualr singles =)

Q. Why main Mario?
A. What's your favorite matchup with Mario?

Q. What Mario texture is the most overpowered?
A. i saw eegz upair blind video and i always thought upairs looked sexy as ****.My favorite matchup has to be diddy kong or snake since those characters are like combo food and pretty beatable! I like the famous/shadow mario texture...i feel like im so fast with that texture! haha

Q. vato : why did you make yourself a aggro mario ?
A. i wasn't always agressive. i started playing defensively but around late 08 i went to a tourney in san deigo and i met tc1...my mario was pretty good(imo) at that point i had beaten dory and fiction in mario dittos. So i play tc1, the dude destroys me 3 stockes me like a milllion times i was mad! i asked him what i was doing wrong he said your too slow but, your the best mario i have played so far. So i decided to train to get my mario fast ...at that time though my wii broke and i had no way to train my mario so i waited about a month. once i got my wii back i practiced everything i could especially fastfalling my aerials and reaction time also.. i practiced situations(for example ledge options and mixups).

So my mario just started to naturally get faster and be more agressive....when im mad opr angry i seem to play better for some reason...late 09 i ***** tc1 we played about 15 games and i won like 11 of them ^_- haha but agressive mario doesn't always work so i also have a defensive mario in my back pocket. i think an agressive mario is the most fun way to play mario you whip out crazy combos and hes pretty fun to watch too and its just cool defensive mario is alright too but eh..

Q. Your first pro you beat in tourney legitly?

Monk

Q. Where have you been all this time!?
A. I've been around...mainly playing TF2 and GunZ...No one visits me any more so I just haven't played Brawl in like 100 years...

Q. Lol Who's Monk? (serious question)
You know all the cute ledge tricks Mario has? Yeah I came up with most of those....

Q. Why Mario?
A. I played Falco in Melee and I picked up Mario as a secondary but then I turned out to be really good with Mario so it just stuck. So naturally I just figured why not play him in Brawl

Q. How did you get into competitive Smash?
A. Well one day at school my friend asked me if I played Melee and I said yeah...and he challenged me to a MM he did all these pro techs like wavedashing...but I just outplayed him and shot a bunch of lasers with Falco...and then I started going to tournaments...that's about it

Q. why u not go to more tourneys? i miss u monk, i miss calling u about my tourney performances in my early days, how's life been treating u?
A. as previously stated no one visits me any more...so I just don't go to tournaments...Probably gunna go to MLG Orlando though...Also Hippie you still got my number right? give me a call some time...I'm behind on the metagame but I still know how the human brain works...

Q. Monk, when are you gonna teach me stuff, Master?
A. Hero, talk to me on AIM get my number from either Ed, Lade, Mike or just ask me...come visit me if you want...

Q. MONK!!! Monk is the coolest guy ever, he taught me when I was a tiny little Mario main (I was way shorter than I am now.)
A. I'm not even sure I have any questions, but this guy still rocks.

Q: How do you feel about Mario's position on the new tier list?
A. Is he still at the bottom? I mean I haven't seen it in a while but if he's still at the bottom...Seems about right.

Q. I still have your number Monk, and your aim, hopefully you still have mine (hippiedudeCM or xxpinoyboy1992xx) monk, still gonna play wifi?
A. Man you know wifi is trash why even play it if I have to predict my own moves more than the other guy's...

Q. Monk, we're below Yoshi now.
A.....seems about right

Q. Whats your favorite move of Mario's in each catagory?
A. Ground: Dsmash
Aerial: Bair
Special: Fireball
Grab: Back Throw
Smash:....Dsmash
Taunt: The cool one where he takes of his hat and just sits there saying "GET AT ME!!!!"
Sound FX: WAH-HA! HO! or WAAHAHHAHHAHAAAAA
Victory Pose: The one where he shoots fire all over the place like a boss

Q. What do you think your best 'attribute' or 'skill' with Mario is (Camping, Aggresive, Good DI, Spacing, Zoning, etc)?
A. Mario's speed is very underrated it helps him be both aggressive and campy...I mean I usually exploit the camping aspect...like if you watch Polmex and I in teams I'm usually the stock tank

Q. What are your thoughts on the Metaknight ban?
A. That guy is entirely too good........that needs to not exist

Q. How about this, do you think that despite all the depressing things that make life **** and hell to put up with that your life is worth living? And what makes life worth living for that matter?
A. Man...getting into some deep philosophical ****...Do I think life is worth living? For the time being yes

Q. Will you start going back to tournaments and win them so I can quit Mario?
A. I guess...I mean if you wanna quit Mario don't let me not winning tournaments stop you

Q. Out of the corner of my eye, your avatar always looks like some guy in a hat making one of those gangster type hand gestures. Do you notice anything similar?
A. Nope...can't say I do...

Q. Has muched changed since you came back to the Mario boards?
A. Well the first that changed is I don't have any rage right now...I stopped coming here mainly because how upset I would get.

Q. Favourite genre of music?
A. I love all music equally

Flameleon I just think that was a typo xD and By offline I think he means when do you plan to go to tournaments.

Anyway, Can you give everyone a brief synopsis of how to fight metaknight? You seem to be very proficient in the match up.

How'd you get into competitive smash?

what race are you? hispanic, asian, Jewish, black, white, etc.

Who do you think are the top marios in your opinion?

Who's your favorite Mario main?

what do you like more? AIB or SWF?

That's quite a regimen O_O

Nop, i only use Mario, so i can be ready for any kind of MU or situation...

Being an animal born to roam free is kinda cool and all, but i think that being surrounded by more lions would be the one that i choose, because, it's better to have someone who can give you support, instead of being alone...

I have been in several tourneys in my brawl career, and i've won like 2-3, winning cash and a xbox360...back to answering:

1.-Mk MU: it's a match where we have to keep distance from him and to space right in order to win, staying grounded, trying to get rid of his jumps and then, when he lands, we can punish him, we have the tools to control him, like using Fludd to move him towards the edge, fireballz to force his approach, cape to take a stock from him...we can actually edgeguard Mk if we're clever, most Mk's use gayloop to recover, if that happen, we can use cape jump to turn him back to his doom, if he uses tornado, what i use is, if it's a grounded one, i shoot a fireball and it will cancel it, causing mk to use drill rush and there's the chance to punish, if it's an aerial one, i can cape it or use Dair over him, there are chances to use Fsmash and punish severely, to kill him, is better to use Usmash for a safe kill, Fsmash to outrange his Dsmash, racking damage is done via Dair>Dsmash, Fireballz, Bair'ing his Dair camp, SHAD>jab combos, Dash attack to punish some mistakes...also, his shield is kinda bad, when recovering, we have to avoid his Dair, it will kill us, this is done either using Fludd to move him towards the stage or using reversal fireball to use a Bair on him...and, that's all, it's either a win for us or a 3 stock against us.

2.-Since i've played melee, i was competitive, and i was one of the best Marios too, if not the best x9, but then, in brawl, the change was somewhat hard for me but i adapted eventually, after that, i started to get used to Mario in brawl, actually, i preffer Brawl Mario, and since i reached a decent lvl after brawl came out, i thought that i should traing to be one of the best Marios again, and that's what i'm doing...at least in my country, i'm like the best one, haha.

3.-I'm hispanic, just like Vato...

4.-The top Marios are...umm, i think that there're a lot out there, actually, each one doing a good job in his area and because i don't usually read your tourney placing, i'm kinda not aware of whos placing better...but, i can tell u guyz something...the first step to take is to beat pros with Mario, so we can have recognition, that will boost confidence and eventually, placing high at tourneys will be easier to do...

5.-I think my favorite Mario was ??????(remember him.?), he was like me, a very wise one, so i kinda liked him x9, and for now, well, i don't have a favorite one, so, i'm open to anyone who wants to be my pal xD

6.-I like more AIB just because it's where i'm usually around, playing wifi and reading random things, but Sboards is actually very good to read a lot of brawl things, like MU, AT's, etc : )
