So true. Some guy destroyed me online, I money matched him in person, easy money for me =]Online proves nothing
i got knocked out of my tournament by a marth player, i think his name was ClelI'm so mad.
At a tournament's losers' bracket, my match was against a guy who simply spams forward on his C-stick. "No problem!" I owned him the first match. Second match, I killed myself and he wins. Third match he wins. I'm out of the tournament. One I could have easily placed in the top three. For some reason I can't take on the smash-spamming Marths. I could have chosen Snake, I could have Chosen Ike and won. I chose Link and got owned by a smash-spamming n00b.
blah. ok im done. i'll learn from this and do better next time. =]
omfg rofl....wait that was a serious statement?i actually haven't seen any other good Link players at all....only me.
Tournament results or it didn't happeni actually haven't seen any other good Link players at all....only me.
But you don't understand. This guy was BAD. B-A-D. I was so ashamed that I lost to him. It's strange because I took out smashy-dashy Snakes and Tornado-MKs but I can't beat a smash-spamming Marth. It was just really frustrating. lol.i got knocked out of my tournament by a marth player, i think his name was Clel
he was beastly good, pretty sure he got 4rth
This was a small local tournament at my college. There were about 20 people playing. With my loss to the Marth player I placed 6th.was it wifi?
Li actually haven't seen any other good Link players at all....only me.
Ehem, Makedo Us Proud
*sighs*I was expecting a response like that. I know that online proves nothing.
Correct, While online doesnt prove much from a technical standpoint, You can still learn alot about reading your opponent and mindgames. Ive trained at least 40+ links from smashboards/youtube/aib over wifi and they've all said it's improved their overall game.*sighs*
Yeah. D:
That makes me really sad since where I live, I don't have any good competition for offline at all. So, it's either a technical beatdown offline that my opponent sucks to hard to resist, or it's wifi. And, well not ALL wifi is as bad as it sounds but it's still not good. I think wifi gets a worse wrap than it should, I know it's not perfect by any means but still. Then again, that might be my mind wanting to think that from not having anyone good for offline.
On the bright side, you can learn a lot online. It may not reach technical satisfaction, but if you play smarter then you can always win. It really teaches you how to think during battle.
Yeah, don't get to frustrated, I play about 10 times better versus my brother's wolf (he fsmashes a lot) and if I get frustrated he ends up chaining it on me, because im not DIing out the hits you can DI out of it, etc. Don't get to pissed off at Marth, just throw bombs at him. :oOk, what actually happened was, you prolly got hit by the f-smash a few times and it started to annoy you so you couldnt think as clearly. Then when you got hit more it really discouraged you and you couldnt think of a way to punish it so you ended up losing. Long story short, you chocked. But hey, just something to work on and it'll become easier the more tournament experience you get. Once you can keep your cool, you'll realize, "hey, all he's doing is spamming smashes. He doesnt think while he plays. I can punish him every time with a Shield grab." Trust me, the more tournaments you go to, the easier it gets to keep a cool head while playing.
i'm not that new to link but do you mind giving me some pointers.idk, from my stand point it really depends on the connection. If there's even a little too much lag I can perform half the stuff I'm trying to, which just makes the gameplay awkward and hard to read your opponents in general. But that's just me and sucking online. If the connection's decent enough though it can help Link users that are relatively new to Link.
