Sup guyz. Just got back from Kumite. I'm on a friend's computer just so I could tell you all about it and how I did because you know I heart you all so much. <3
First. It was AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME I got to meet lots of cool people and hang out and made friends and I even have a couple places I can go to play for competitive smashers for better practice than what I have around here. =D
About placing, lemme john real quick. Sweaty hands john. All the matches I lost I should NOT have lost. I should have made it to at least semifinals. But eh, what can you do. First big tournament and I choked a bit. BUT ARRRRGH it makes me so frustrated I should've done a lot better.
Scenario1: You press C-stick for fsmash that would kill a Dedede. Sweatypalmjohns make you upsmash instead and it whiffs and Lucario dances for an hour and gets crunched by a mallet. =\
Scenario 2: You can't kill this Wario because your faster moves are too stale and you're both at very high percentage with him being higher than you. Crowd's cheering for you and you notice the clock has ten seconds left. You decide to run out the clock. At four seconds you fat finger and whiff an Aura Sphere and Wario back airs you and you die. =\
Scenario 3: You're recovering against Luigi's Mansion and you just flatout mess up and hit the ceiling under the lip cause you did it too late. =\
Unhappiness aside, I got lots of compliments and did destroy tons of face. For the compliments, see my new sig.
Anyway. None of my matches were recorded so that's a downer, but i'll see about heading over to a new friend's place and recording some matches with him.
The results for my first actual big tournament?
14th out of 47 people. Rawk. It's because I didn't have my Lucario shirt, that's why. XD I'll have it for next time and then get stomp on everyone's face. Smashers in Tennessee (and in general) are awesome people.
Did you guys find out anything in the past three days?
I got the chance to test some stuff in friendlies. I tried reverse Pseudo-sticking an aura sphere from the ledge and got Knee of Justice'd so.. uh... >,> Only do it if you have a sphere already half charged. I did get him with the sphere but it wasn't large enough so it didn't stick him before the knee came out.
ExtremeStop2 confuses people and works if you have exhausted all your options. Doesn't work on Yoshi's Island (Brawl).
Keeping a sphere almost fully charged is the best mind game ever. Can fire it with pretty much full power and you can still use it to charge on people. Gawd I love Aura Sphere.
I'll try to keep in touch. Connection from my LCD to my computer (Motherboard) is down for the count so I have to get it repaired.
