MELEE-FC: Your Pool Predictions Were Wrong. See first post for R2 Pools!

[Bones0]

You can get better with any character you want to, but you can't want to get better with any character you want to. A wise man once said:

Human beings are capable of amazing things, but in the end we are all slaves to our own desires.

 

[-ACE-]

Falco combos and shield pressure are really fun... and spiking people... but I'm rough on controllers, even as someone that plays basically only Ganon/luigi/marth and occasional falcon/doc, I go through joysticks like there is no tomorrow. Practicing Falco would mean ordering joysticks like 10 at a time, c-sticks too. Kage when I saw you only went through 2 controllers in 10 years of smash I about **** myself.

 

[Varist]

it's probably because you're some roid freak ace. i've used the same controller for 4 years and my tech is boss. don't slam the analog around, this game is about finesse

 

[Bones0]

All Ganon players juice. I thought this was common knowledge. How else can you handle THA PAWNCH?!

 

[Jockmaster]

Ganon players are just the most badass mother****ers IRL who don't give two ****s about the competitive viability of the Dark Lord.

 

[DerfMidWest]

To preven yourself from destroying joysticks:
Swap it with a wiimote nunchuck stick. **** will never wear. ever.

If feels weird at first, but once I got used to it I found it to be vastly superior.

Lmao, I don't know the first thing about roids, but I did powerlift for 8 years straight from age 16 to 24, that's funny.

Also, vanir, I think that wii stick is longer than the gc stick... isn't it? I think Yeroc had one one time and I noticed the joystick was taller... other than that, that **** is perfect... just one ring around the edge so your thumb doesn't slip off

 

[Jockmaster]

Ok hold on

From what I've heard Kage does MMA or some ****
and ACE has done powerlifting
and I did as well between the ages of 15 and 18

wtf are Ganon mains really this much of badasses??

 

[DoH]

And gvice is a nurse!

 

[Jockmaster]

well goddammit nevermind

thought I had just connected some subconscious character-selecting trend or something

 

[-ACE-]

Lol Zane (g vice) is just as badass as they get. Trust me.

 

['Fro]

I gotta give a shout out to John! He was the only person who predicted I would get past my first round pool, so glad to make your prediction happen! I'll admit though, I got mad lucky with ycz6 playing sloppy towards the end of martches, and jesus freak giving me his Falco instead of his puff, which helped me out a lot.



Edit: only person aside from my own crew mates that is.

Samuses.. Why so mean to fox

yes, its slightly taller and it feels like it moves a little faster (which you gotta get used to)
I really like it now that i'm used to it. Its more comfortable and won't get worn down.
Since you're having a problem with wearing the sticks down i'd really reccommend swaping the stick out ^^

 

[(*Jman*)]

Jman camps Peach too hard, and his style wouldn't work now that armadas game against camping is A LOT better than @G1.

Just look at him vs Vanz if you doubt me being better... run away ->side b past peach LOL ***** this aint brawl

I dont play anymore so this really funny to me from my biggest fan

Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Finally someone else sees the light.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

thanks to all the people who thought i'd make it out of R1.

i guess nobody knew that silverliight was The Moon. Wonder if he was seeded as a random instead of the player he is. oh well.

 

[AXE 09]

^Same thing happened in my pool with "DJ Talent" who I had no idea was The Lake.

I was just thinking "Ha, random Zelda main about to get *****" ****** my Falco* "...oh shiiiii-"

 

[PGH Carroll]

Same thing with "kels88" in my pool
I was oh girlllll bout to get that free win with jiggs. Turns out to be some really good fox. I can't believe it.

Ahh, it angers me so much when people do that. Like seriously, is it your goal to screw up the tournament?

that really is kels' tag lol

 

[DoH]

Mojo does that every ****ing tournament.

 

[Ripple]

My pool sheet said Hungarybox, not to be confused with Hungrybox.

wtf? crazy puff also.

 

[TheLake]

Ive used Dj talent before, I think even in this thread I posted a video from where its from lol

Names shouldnt matter

just play

use mario or some ****

and tap

everyone needs to stop being so political

and losin up

haters gonna hater

skaters gonna skate

axe ***** <3

 

[Divinokage]

Wobbles is right, I've heard him on the commentary say you should the reason why the pool is called a Death Pool. Names don't ****ing matter, just own them with your skill and presence!

 

[baka4moé]

looking at the pools sheet im pretty sure both the lake and the moon were seeded (and mojo for that matter)

 

[Wobbles]

Wobbles is right, I've heard him on the commentary say you should the reason why the pool is called a Death Pool. Names don't ****ing matter, just own them with your skill and presence!

Yep. Although this advice is mostly intended for people who want to make it out of their own pool. It doesn't quite cover the fact that if you end up sticking lots of very good players in the same R1 pool because they all gave themselves random names, then you may decrease the quality of the tournament by eliminating them early. And for mid-level players who want to take pride in advancing from pools rather than get wrecked by 4 pros who named themselves after Naruto characters or something.

I agree, except you may be diminishing the experience of other players when you do this. Please be considerate when it comes to seeding.

 

[Strong Badam]

I'm pretty sure we were able to seed all the random named guys properly including Moon, Lake, and Mojo.

 

[Wobbles]

Okay. But it's the PRINCIPLE of the thing.

 

[Divinokage]

Well the seeding is beyond our control so it's pretty much on you at all times.

 

[Strong Badam]

Yeah, I definitely agree, Wobbles. Entering with a random name can be fun and all, but when it ends up screwing with seeding, it's definitely not cool. I'd DQ someone for doing that if it ended up messing with seeding.

 

[PGH Carroll]

I entered as PGH Carroll..
WHEN EVERYONE KNOWS IM ACTAULLY "CARROLL" THE MARTH MAIN

 

[PB&J]

please do a darkrain combo vid. that would be amazing

 

[Bones0]

This reminds me of when Cactuar came to like the second tournament I ever hosted (which was my 4th smash event ever). He came with UltimaScout, and registered as "UltimaScout's Friend."

"UltimaScout's Friend" won the tournament. :|

 

[S l o X]

should have just beat him. marth is free.

 

[Divinokage]

According to the current metagame and players, they think Ganon vs Marth should be impossible for Ganon lol.

 

[rjgbadger]

dude kage, the guy has a sword. all ganon has is a huge nose

 

[Cactuar]

It's not like I was leagues above the other guys in that tournament though... chinesahh wasn't playing well at that one, but greg beat me in winners, and the matches with chillin were pretty legit.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

Marth is perfectly beatable, I'm just bad.

I still think I'm a mid level player who should have made it out of r1 at least, but I underperformed when it mattered.
