Shadowball. Just pull a Spife. Start maining Sheik and call him Mewtwo. Best solution ever!
i lost to Desil's Ganon with Sheik. (Tech chases were *******ted up on my part, and i got punished very very hard for it.) i did better in the Ganon ditto next match, and he pulled a win on the last stock @ high (?) percents. it was actually a very enjoyable match even though I lost.

besides I don't main Mewtwo I main Marth, I've only said so like a jillion times. :laugh::chuckle::lick:

i got lucky in this tournament placing 7th. after reviewing the play. it is concluded that half the people that placed below me are way better than i :O makes me want to train harder now..
who were you? did we play?

EDIT: I didn't say so in my shouties, but Prawn did a very good job running this. very pro.

Also I played Phish-it at some point... I have no idea who he was though. >_< lots of people beat the crud outta me here lmao.

If i make it to the next one i'll have practiced so long as I remedy my Z button breakage. (I use it to grab so it's kinda important.)

I know :rotfl: but its less stressful that way. i can play seriously without playing for money. in fact i prefer it that way. i don't understand the mindset behind the "I have to be playing for money to play for reals" thing.

Buuuuutttttt that's just me.

Assuming you want to get better, the idea is you eventually get good enough where money is on the line in tournament matches. You need to be able to play your best no matter what, when it's required. This is why we MM, to condition our selves to succeed when playing a set that money is to be had for the winner.
Or to get serious matches out of peeps.

moonspeak to me. :laugh:

naw I gotcha, it's still dumb to me. if they're your peeps why can't they play seriously when its not for money??? but like I said, that's me. :dizzy:

Don't bother trying to explian it any further. I'm a lost cause. *shakes fist @ Maf.* sandbagger <3 Maf. :bee: ;) (LMAO @ dragging Maf's name into it for no reason. GOD I'm tired)

also new avatar; you think ppl will stop telling me to stop maining Mewtwo when I don't? i like it too. (Took a long time to find that pic.)

Lol hayato, you sandbagged vs me in tourney a while back.


Shadowball, level up big time between tourneys, so you surprise people when you play them, and then they'll play seriously. True story.

cping you to Mute at a MDZ tourney
I don't intentionally sandbag friendlys, but i think most smashers know that going all out in every match can be quite taxing mentally. Plus i think chaingrabbing/waveshining/shinespikes/other unbreakable combos are boring and bad sportsmanship. I see no reason to make a friendly boring. If pride/money/tournament placing is on the line, then I will stop at nothing.

It's true, you took a Kirby to Rainbow Cruise and switched to Fox.

You also stopped :laugh:

this is like a pof post...

also unbreakable combos is like saying moist water
agreed on the first part. If you're not good at chaingrabbing, practicing on people who will DI differently is a good way to learn.

Unbreakable combos =/= moist water, water can't be moist :embarrass
also this isn't a normal 2d fighter, you can get out of a lot more combos. Unbeatable bnb's on the other hand...

I consider it a challenge, and a favor when people go all out against me in friendlies. What's the point of playing friendlies to improve if you only get better against people who don't try their hardest to win?
You're just going to get ended up getting destroyed in tournament when it matters, and people camp hard.

Roman I'm referring to unbearably gay combos.

Also camping. I don't like camping in friendlys and I hate being camped. if all you're going to do is run away and shoot lazers then I might as well not play.
So you'd rather no one improve while you play? By not playing "gay" you're not giving people the experience they need to learn how to beat the strategy's. You're also not practicing them yourself and thus stunting your own growth as you can learn new ways to do things and different strings. Essentially you're wasting everyone's time.

It's like playing Isai in first round pools except in your case you wouldn't advance. >.>

You can also practice doing things that aren't necessarily safe, which would be not-camping. Playing differently in friendlies to practice things you won't get a chance to practice in a tournament setting without getting your butt handed to you is important also.

And no one likes to play against camping. Why ruin it for the other person when nothing is on the line? I've had a lot of experience with this lately, and seriously, people who camp hard in friendlies just make you want to quit.

True story: My roommate plays the campiest peach I've ever seen. Matches take upwards of 5 minutes for a single 4-stock match. He'll punish almost every approach, and never approach himself. I'll play 3 matches before getting so bored I ragequit and go do something else. Friendlies should never be like this. EVER.

My god questor.... people JUST answered this question already! When people play to improve, it's beneficial if your opponent goes all out.

Even if you're just ******* around, and have no intention of learning new things when you play, as long as your opponent is playing to win, it's respectful to go all out against them as well, instead of getting upset about it.

lol sai, chill out.

I play to win and try to learn as I play. I can beat my roommate 9 times out of 10 if I outcamp him. However, I'm trying to learn to play aggressively for those matchups where I need to force an opening, namely getting a fair -> grab to set up for combos, and that's near impossible when the other person camps so **** much. He also doesn't know how to do anything BUT camp, so I get no variety in my play, and improving is so slow it's not worth it. All I've learned from playing him is that to beat someone who's camping, camp harder. And I knew that already.

I play friendlies to get some variety in a game I've been playing for 3+ years now on top of the other mentioned reasons. If I played tournaments more, where people camp a lot, I'd want my friendlies to be relatively camp-free so I could actually have some fun messing around. In my current situation, I play mostly campers, so I'd like my friendlies to be camp-free.


tl;dr: Sai, you're a silly guy <3

@questor - you don't have to approach to make the peach stop camping, that's actually one of the worst things to do against a campy peach imo

now i'm not saying start running away as well but pretty much just getting in their zone will do the trick... marth is faster and has a great dashdance to control the area around peach

also it sounds like you get upset because you get romped by a campy peach... maybe instead of taking it out on camping in general you need to be blaming yourself for not figuring out ways around this

also i'm sorry but marth pretty much relies on camping to be successful, he shouldn't be making the first move like ever unless your spacing it

Heh, I don't like to camp. I've been working on ways to play an aggressive marth to throw people off and getting a "unique" style. I've played textbook marth poorly for way too long, so I gotta experiment with other stuff.

And I know how to beat peach, it's just not "fun." I like to have "fun" when I play friendlies, not camp my *** off just to win. I'll leave the camping for tournaments.
