k so this is about me about my little notebook gonna copy paste all my aim convos about helpful things and matchups ppl have told me.

GaW from A2zomg

It's a bait war, make sure he's not above you, intruppt him in start up lag and not ending lag, be patient, kill him asap, aim for his blind spots, use oos upb inv frames against turtle, or roll away, his options are up close are limited, his kill options have no real set ups, and EVERYTHING is all by reaction and his jab is frame 4. Edgecamping if ur on the edge is best way to not get ledge trap'd. Takes patience +5 mins to beat a really good GaW don't get baitted, just walk against GaW.

A2ZOMG" (5:40:43 PM): What is your definition of playing smart?
hippiedudecm (5:41:05 PM): lol dunno that's why l ask ppl their definition.
"A2ZOMG" (5:41:40 PM): Well playing smart is playing to optimize options through good decisions.
hippiedudecm (5:42:37 PM): is that it? or nothing to add details etc?
"A2ZOMG" (5:42:48 PM): Hang on a sec I'll explain.
hippiedudecm (5:42:56 PM): k
"A2ZOMG" (5:43:31 PM): Well anyhow Boss in my opinion doesn't exactly play smart in the strict sense.
"A2ZOMG" (5:43:43 PM): He plays on instinct.
"A2ZOMG" (5:44:00 PM): He does the first thing that comes in mind to him as far as I can tell.
"A2ZOMG" (5:44:06 PM): and since he thinks very fast, this works well for him.
"A2ZOMG" (5:45:18 PM): Pierce or myself on the other hand when we play, we have an idea what we want our options to do.
hippiedudecm (5:46:24 PM): well pros, boss aside, im just talking in general, just from ur personal perspective y'know.
"A2ZOMG" (5:47:39 PM): Yeah but playing smart is using options to get intended results.
"A2ZOMG" (5:48:21 PM): It's such that when you attack, you know what you want it to do and what it will do.
"A2ZOMG" (5:48:48 PM): And when your opponent attacks, you know what your opponent is trying to do when attacking.
"A2ZOMG" (5:49:15 PM): Basically it's the level of understanding you put into your playstyle.
hippiedudecm (5:51:04 PM): so basically your definition is revolving around knowing and knowing how to use your options and as well as your opponent's?
"A2ZOMG" (5:51:16 PM): Yeah.
"A2ZOMG" (5:51:38 PM): It's more of an approach to how you play.
"A2ZOMG" (5:51:57 PM): Although it will have a significant affect on your actual playstyle.
"A2ZOMG" (5:52:04 PM): *effect
hippiedudecm (5:52:44 PM): well obviously theres a good and a bad option right?
"A2ZOMG" (5:53:56 PM): Yeah.
hippiedudecm (6:00:27 PM): okay so like if ur playing a really patient marth who can space perfectly 90% of the time, and lets say as luigi, cant really do anything oos options sinces hes being outspaced
hippiedudecm (6:00:33 PM): what's his best option for this?
"A2ZOMG" (6:00:48 PM): Break his zoning with F-airs.
"A2ZOMG" (6:01:20 PM): It's very hard for Marth to actually space to the point where he can stop you from chosing a moment to run in and F-air.
hippiedudecm (6:15:50 PM): oh
hippiedudecm (6:15:54 PM): i thought u can just walk away
hippiedudecm (6:16:02 PM): since i just learned walking away is a good option apparently
"A2ZOMG" (6:16:11 PM): Well you don't want him to stage control you.
"A2ZOMG" (6:16:13 PM): That will suck.
hippiedudecm (6:16:44 PM): well until u find a opening lol


----- 2/2/10
"A2ZOMG" (7:24:16 PM): Okay here is a thing that works against peach sometimes.
"A2ZOMG" (7:24:19 PM): You run under her and U-air.
hippiedudecm (7:24:29 PM): that too sometimes
hippiedudecm (7:24:33 PM): sometimes its just really lag
hippiedudecm (7:24:46 PM): but i get caught on dair the most against a peach
hippiedudecm (7:24:46 PM): lol
"A2ZOMG" (7:24:51 PM): Yeah but see
"A2ZOMG" (7:24:56 PM): if you have good zoning skillz
"A2ZOMG" (7:25:01 PM): you can just run under her and U-air
"A2ZOMG" (7:25:10 PM): and it will often mess her up.
"A2ZOMG" (7:25:28 PM): Because she usually doesn't pull out aerials first frame possible from jumps.
hippiedudecm (7:25:43 PM): lol i dont have zoning skills, bo was telling me XD
hippiedudecm (7:25:45 PM): idk whats zoning
hippiedudecm (7:25:50 PM): or how does mario's zoning look like
"A2ZOMG" (7:26:04 PM): Well actually zoning is kinda hard to define.
"A2ZOMG" (7:26:17 PM): it's more like the way you can control space and limit options.
"A2ZOMG" (7:27:16 PM): Mario's zoning is a lot of fullhop B-airs, U-airs, D-air mixups, some F-tilt pokes here and there
"A2ZOMG" (7:27:25 PM): Cape stalling to mix up landings
hippiedudecm (7:27:32 PM): what is zoning tho
hippiedudecm (7:27:45 PM): oh
hippiedudecm (7:27:46 PM): eh
hippiedudecm (7:27:57 PM): lol i think i do it just dont know if im doing it or not
"A2ZOMG" (7:28:29 PM): Well instead of asking what zoning is, think in terms of what areas you can control and how effectively you can control them.
"A2ZOMG" (7:29:31 PM): Peach can control a lot of area with floats and she usually hovers in a zone that is not straightforward for people to punish, aka a blindspot.
"A2ZOMG" (7:30:16 PM): Most characters have trouble covering the 45 degree angle zone, which Peach likes to hover around for optimal spacing.
"A2ZOMG" (7:31:01 PM): Yeah but anyhow if you predict/observe a jump, running under her and U-airing usually beats her.
"A2ZOMG" (7:31:08 PM): Her D-air and F-air have existant startup.
hippiedudecm (7:31:38 PM): so like lets say shes on the ledge, her best option is to ledgejump
hippiedudecm (7:31:50 PM): basically shes blindspot below her, and mario's upair is his best option for it?
"A2ZOMG" (7:32:07 PM): Yeah probably.
"A2ZOMG" (7:32:37 PM): I like using N-airs to stop ledgejumps personally though.
"A2ZOMG" (7:32:45 PM): Or I mean
"A2ZOMG" (7:32:54 PM): N-airs punish most getups besides the ledgeroll.
hippiedudecm (7:33:01 PM): yeah definitely nair.
"A2ZOMG" (7:33:19 PM): Now if she's smart and knows you're trying to N-air her
hippiedudecm (7:33:20 PM): so l should be seeing the game with like color'd or hitbubbles zoness
"A2ZOMG" (7:33:26 PM): watch out because her Up-B > that.
"A2ZOMG" (7:33:47 PM): Well idk what works for you.
"A2ZOMG" (7:34:02 PM): The way I think you should percieve this game is by analyzing options.
"A2ZOMG" (7:34:24 PM): That's the way every good player does it, they ask themselves what options are available.
hippiedudecm (7:35:03 PM): yeah that too
hippiedudecm (7:35:18 PM): that's what lve been doing for a while now, i just needa know marios options more lol
"A2ZOMG" (7:35:22 PM): Anyhow Peach is momentum driven.
"A2ZOMG" (7:35:37 PM): Her stuff is counterable, but harder to stop once it gets started.
"A2ZOMG" (7:35:57 PM): Since she has some specific strategies that are really safe on defenses.
"A2ZOMG" (7:36:45 PM): Don't get me wrong using defenses correctly against her works well, like Up-Bing out of shield against her D-air for example.
hippiedudecm (7:37:14 PM): i do that.
"A2ZOMG" (7:37:20 PM): Yeah so anyhow
"A2ZOMG" (7:37:30 PM): I wonder how early a Sliding up-smash kills her.
"A2ZOMG" (7:37:39 PM): She's in the air a ton so yeah.
"A2ZOMG" (7:38:12 PM): I don't think Dark Pch has ever played a Mario that knows how to do Sliding Up-smashes.
"A2ZOMG" (7:38:49 PM): And that **** kills **** EARLY.
hippiedudecm (7:39:21 PM): i'm trying to learn the sliding upsmash lol
"A2ZOMG" (7:39:26 PM): Yeah master it
"A2ZOMG" (7:39:30 PM): it's amazing.
"A2ZOMG" (7:39:46 PM): It scares the **** out of people.
"A2ZOMG" (7:40:00 PM): Especially since almost nobody is even aware of it currently.

-------- 2/8/10 convo with Xero, about zoning

"xeroxen" (8:58:55 PM): Mario likes to be close but not too close
"xeroxen" (8:59:05 PM): Close enough to follow fireballs and get pokes in.
"xeroxen" (8:59:18 PM): Being far away isn't really a disadvantage but it's not really good either.
"xeroxen" (8:59:34 PM): If you can get really close then you're pretty good, as long as it isn't Luigi or something stupid like that.
"xeroxen" (8:59:43 PM): Mario HATES to be on the ledge.
"xeroxen" (8:59:48 PM): At least my Mario.
"xeroxen" (8:59:56 PM): If I'm on the ledge, I only have a few options
"xeroxen" (9:00:06 PM): Stall, or trick my opponent.
"xeroxen" (9:00:21 PM): Then, if I get back up, I have to deal with RCO lag.
hippiedudecm (9:00:38 PM): ooo i seeeee
hippiedudecm (9:01:12 PM): so good, bad, neutral zones and zoning (like the use of bair walls) are 2 complete different things rite?
"xeroxen" (9:01:28 PM): Well
"xeroxen" (9:01:36 PM): Zoning is staying in your comfort "Zone" I think.
"xeroxen" (9:02:00 PM): Which for Mario, would be close enough to hit with Bair, and be able to rush in at any time with jabs/ftilt/grabs.
hippiedudecm (9:02:40 PM): so its intergrated or something? O_O
"xeroxen" (9:02:45 PM): I guess.
"xeroxen" (9:02:53 PM): Basically, try to stay in your comfort zone.
"xeroxen" (9:03:04 PM): For me, it's where I can hit but can't be hit, and punish mistakes severely.
"xeroxen" (9:03:14 PM): But that zone changes on different matchups.
hippiedudecm (9:07:12 PM): oooo i seeeeeeeeee. ****.

UltimateLink20 (6:40:21 PM): My apologize for that sir
Hippiedudecm (6:40:57 PM): what went down my good man?
UltimateLink20 (6:41:39 PM): I just messed up terribly and just wasn't playing good, nothing new =P
Hippiedudecm (6:42:32 PM): it's all bueno dude. you know l'm always open if you need to blow out some of that stream/frustration
UltimateLink20 (6:44:26 PM): I just messed it up for NinjaLink, I'm not really that good
Hippiedudecm (6:47:12 PM): don't worry about that my dude, everyone makes the mistakes espically when it's for the team.
Hippiedudecm (6:47:32 PM): besides, from snooping around, l can tell you and ninjalink go way back.
UltimateLink20 (6:48:15 PM): Yea, I am a lot better in Melee then I am in brawl, Competitive brawl is just not really my thing
Hippiedudecm (6:50:02 PM): eh they're two different things ~.~, besides, it took you 2 years to get to that goal for melee iirc.
UltimateLink20 (6:50:42 PM): That is true, >.<
Hippiedudecm (6:52:10 PM): well l know, brawl is mad gay and rage always be coming out from stupidity losses, l usually rage over that too.. but according to hippy logic.. you just come back 2x stronger than you were before...
Hippiedudecm (6:52:22 PM): if it makes you any happy, l 3 stocked bum in game 1 in a tourney set lol :3
UltimateLink20 (6:52:36 PM): Lmao wow
Hippiedudecm (6:53:03 PM): yeah lol, idk why, but i just get so excited when i get to fight big names
Hippiedudecm (6:53:17 PM): even though i got 2 stocked in game 2 >_>
Hippiedudecm (6:53:46 PM): then went game 3 to last hit last stock, high % and me eating a dsmash T_T. thought it was gonna be my first time actually beating a big name dood lol
UltimateLink20 (6:54:49 PM): You're getting a lot better
Hippiedudecm (6:55:59 PM): l suppose so, l really want to prove that by tourney results, but haven't yet..
Hippiedudecm (6:56:28 PM): but its like i said before, (or wes or you, can't recall) i'm just like putting the puzzle pieces together slowly as i learn..
Hippiedudecm (6:56:35 PM): >.>
UltimateLink20 (6:57:48 PM): Yea thats what you need to do
Hippiedudecm (6:59:28 PM): but yeah, dont be running out that door next time, or i'll all for homo **** you xD
Hippiedudecm (7:00:06 PM): i gotta do hw so later, just so you know im still def wanting to take up on your offer in teamming in the future when l'm ready ;D
UltimateLink20 (7:00:30 PM): Alright

1/9/10 convo with Jash, about how i should think.

hippiedudecm (1:50:10 PM): yooooooooooooooo Jash you alive?
"Jash" (1:50:35 PM): Yea
hippiedudecm (1:50:58 PM): yaaa i was wondering if i can get advice from you ? :o
"Jash" (1:51:14 PM): Sure, wussup?
hippiedudecm (1:52:37 PM): i was wondering like... in a tourney set or any serious set, i was wondering, what should be going through my head or like what should i be thinking during a tourney set.
"Jash" (1:53:03 PM): Just follow your procedure and go along with your plan
hippiedudecm (1:54:38 PM): i don't even know what my proecedure or plan should be lol, should i be thinking every single bit of the match ?
hippiedudecm (1:55:03 PM): like " if he's going to use upair, i'll be ready to counter with bair etc"
"Jash" (1:56:43 PM): Pretty much
"Jash" (1:56:54 PM): You need to know ALL your matchups
hippiedudecm (2:01:01 PM): yeah i know, its like you said, always have a strategy for each matchup etc
hippiedudecm (2:02:38 PM): you said that, you'd observe their habits abit usually in first game, and have already a plan set up or counterattack or w/e, but idk what its called i think it's called "feeling out your opponent" and such
hippiedudecm (2:03:22 PM): what should be like, the moves u use to feel them out? or to observe their habits?
"Jash" (2:14:30 PM): Well
"Jash" (2:14:43 PM): You play slow, in the beginning, you always play slow
"Jash" (2:15:07 PM): Figure out what they are doing alot and what they aren't doing much
hippiedudecm (2:18:42 PM): oooo okies.
hippiedudecm (2:19:40 PM): so like, when do you exactly stop feeling out your opponent? or like you said, when do you stop playing slow?
"Jash" (2:20:54 PM): When you figured out the pattern
hippiedudecm (2:24:46 PM): oooo i see. it seems like game 1 is really critical in a set.
"Jash" (2:28:01 PM): Yea it can, I remember i got 3 stocked my 1st match and ended up 3 stocking the other 2 matches
hippiedudecm (2:29:34 PM): lmfaooo. , means they didn't adapt quickly enough xD? wait wasn't that bizkit's snake? i remember it being on fd iirc
"Jash" (2:30:33 PM): Yea, he ***** me 1st match and i won that set
hippiedudecm (2:36:35 PM): lmfaooo ****. when your thinking, and they're about to attack or something, do you guess out the move they're going to use?
"Jash" is available (2:45:24 PM)
Blaze = Annoying Pit lol
"Jash" (2:47:16 PM): Well yea lol
hippiedudecm (2:47:49 PM): ooo lols okies
hippiedudecm (2:48:02 PM): cuz, when l want to see how they react, i usually just poke with jab1
hippiedudecm (2:48:23 PM): and i get like 3-4 different reactions like a shield grab, or a tilt, or run away or some other ****
hippiedudecm (2:48:30 PM): then i feel dumb for guessing wrong
hippiedudecm (3:27:10 PM): so like after i observe them like, lets say i jab1 poke them just to see how they react, and if they react into like 3 different things, like a shield grab, or a smash or run away, how will l be able to guess the right move they'll do since they do 3 different things?
"Jash" (3:28:55 PM): Well someone is bound to do something more then the other or they would learn from it and try to avoid it so you would be prepared for that
"Jash" (3:29:13 PM): Infiltrate their mind and put yourself in their shoes
hippiedudecm (3:33:14 PM): ah l see.. now l know its really mentally straining lol...
"Jash" (3:44:50 PM): It is, because when they think a lot then you have to think doubly alot
hippiedudecm (3:47:00 PM): ooo okies. l think that answers about it all lol. Thanks yooooo. l was having the trouble if idk if i was thinking the right way or thee wrong way in a tourney set
"Jash" (3:48:25 PM): You just need to know what to do in every situation.

1/9/10 convo with junk bout random stuff

hippiedudecm (9:35:13 PM): i was wondering like... in a tourney set or any serious set, i was wondering, what should be going through my head or like what should i be thinking during a tourney set.

junkinthtrunk (10:03:59 PM): okay
junkinthtrunk (10:04:03 PM): what u should be thinking
junkinthtrunk (10:04:08 PM): is solely about the matchup
junkinthtrunk (10:04:55 PM): honestly its best
junkinthtrunk (10:04:58 PM): if u dont even know who youre playing
junkinthtrunk (10:05:01 PM): player
junkinthtrunk (10:05:14 PM): lol but thats like almost impossible
junkinthtrunk (10:05:26 PM): always think safe
junkinthtrunk (10:05:29 PM): and never panic
junkinthtrunk (10:05:35 PM): if u get ***** know thats not what determines a set
junkinthtrunk (10:05:49 PM): u can always bring it back
junkinthtrunk (10:05:57 PM): but above everything safe
junkinthtrunk (10:06:00 PM): ec really doesnt do this
junkinthtrunk (10:06:02 PM): lol
junkinthtrunk (10:06:10 PM): always attacking
hippiedudecm (10:06:14 PM): lol i guess so
junkinthtrunk (10:06:25 PM): watch larry
junkinthtrunk (10:06:26 PM): and havok
junkinthtrunk (10:06:30 PM): well not havok lol
junkinthtrunk (10:06:31 PM): but larry
junkinthtrunk (10:06:34 PM): is not easy to kill
hippiedudecm (10:06:37 PM): yeah i noticed
hippiedudecm (10:06:40 PM): i saw his set with tyrant
hippiedudecm (10:06:43 PM): hes really patient player
junkinthtrunk (10:07:00 PM): like
junkinthtrunk (10:07:03 PM): if youre above 100
junkinthtrunk (10:07:05 PM): HIDE in your shield
junkinthtrunk (10:07:08 PM): make them grab you
junkinthtrunk (10:07:18 PM): make it hard
junkinthtrunk (10:07:20 PM): space away
junkinthtrunk (10:07:24 PM): if they push u to the ledge
junkinthtrunk (10:07:25 PM): ledge stall
junkinthtrunk (10:07:29 PM): then ledge jump
junkinthtrunk (10:07:33 PM): and go to the platforms
junkinthtrunk (10:07:36 PM): then slowly come back down
junkinthtrunk (10:07:43 PM): just slowing everything down
junkinthtrunk (10:07:46 PM): i do better
junkinthtrunk (10:07:52 PM): depends on the cahracter though
junkinthtrunk (10:07:56 PM): if u play marth or mk
junkinthtrunk (10:07:59 PM): u want to do constnat pressure
hippiedudecm (10:08:08 PM): so i just want to be playing safe over 100%?
junkinthtrunk (10:08:26 PM): well in general too
junkinthtrunk (10:08:30 PM): the thing is
junkinthtrunk (10:08:32 PM): in general
junkinthtrunk (10:08:35 PM): neutral situation spacing
junkinthtrunk (10:08:39 PM): ur no different from m2k
junkinthtrunk (10:08:45 PM): as in no better or no worse
junkinthtrunk (10:08:52 PM): usually differences are settled in
junkinthtrunk (10:08:53 PM): follow ups
junkinthtrunk (10:09:04 PM): if u hit someone
junkinthtrunk (10:09:12 PM): they should never be able to get you with a cheap retaliation hit
junkinthtrunk (10:09:18 PM): if someone hits you
junkinthtrunk (10:09:23 PM): they shouldnt be able to follow it up the same way twice
hippiedudecm (10:09:29 PM): ooo
hippiedudecm (10:09:31 PM): mix it up?
junkinthtrunk (10:09:36 PM): kinda but be smart about it
junkinthtrunk (10:09:44 PM): u have to like consciously know what youre doing
junkinthtrunk (10:09:56 PM): like mixing it up for the sake of mixing it up wont work
hippiedudecm (10:09:58 PM): like every single bit of the match right? like why ur using that move and such?
junkinthtrunk (10:10:03 PM): well it might work a few times but thats not a consitent strategy
junkinthtrunk (10:10:16 PM): kinda but u cant think that much when youre playing thats like analysis before and after
junkinthtrunk (10:10:24 PM): when youre playing youre thinking
junkinthtrunk (10:10:25 PM): safe
junkinthtrunk (10:10:32 PM): and what did they do when i hit them with my set up move
junkinthtrunk (10:10:48 PM): another key thing is stage control
junkinthtrunk (10:10:54 PM): if ur not sure u can get the read
junkinthtrunk (10:10:57 PM): cover the inside option
junkinthtrunk (10:11:01 PM): the option closer to the middle of the stage
junkinthtrunk (10:11:08 PM): the reason is even if they roll away towards the edge
junkinthtrunk (10:11:15 PM): theyre still in a bad position
hippiedudecm (10:11:17 PM): yeaaaaaaaah.
hippiedudecm (10:11:23 PM): usually l control the middle stage
hippiedudecm (10:11:28 PM): since its like your key position and what not
hippiedudecm (10:11:41 PM): like juts pushing link to the edge and stuff like that
junkinthtrunk (10:11:43 PM): if u control the stage all the time it should be pretty easy
hippiedudecm (10:11:56 PM): yeah
hippiedudecm (10:11:59 PM): i was thinking that too
hippiedudecm (10:12:10 PM): i was thinking how a position seems to be very critical in a match kinda like ches
hippiedudecm (10:12:11 PM): chess*
junkinthtrunk (10:12:20 PM): okay like so with luigi
junkinthtrunk (10:12:26 PM): like u grab them near the ledge
junkinthtrunk (10:12:35 PM): and ur facing out
junkinthtrunk (10:12:42 PM): and their at 100+
junkinthtrunk (10:12:45 PM): which throw do u do
hippiedudecm (10:12:58 PM): either dthrow or fthrow
junkinthtrunk (10:13:08 PM): f-throw because d-throw
junkinthtrunk (10:13:12 PM): will let them have too much vertical
junkinthtrunk (10:13:16 PM): and get back to the middle
junkinthtrunk (10:13:20 PM): here ur going to play the ledge trap
hippiedudecm (10:13:21 PM): oh you said 100, didn't see that lol
junkinthtrunk (10:13:21 PM): every time
hippiedudecm (10:13:37 PM): its cuz when their on the ledge their at a disadvantage position right?
junkinthtrunk (10:13:42 PM): right
junkinthtrunk (10:13:47 PM): basically they have no shield
junkinthtrunk (10:13:52 PM): cause when u hit their shield they get knocked off
junkinthtrunk (10:14:03 PM): playing brawl with no shield is pretty hard lol
hippiedudecm (10:14:06 PM): lols
hippiedudecm (10:14:22 PM): yeah, i mean alot of the inexperienced players usually airdodge + di towards u right away
junkinthtrunk (10:14:33 PM): thats why pros number one get up is just normal get up
junkinthtrunk (10:14:37 PM): and they space you from there
junkinthtrunk (10:14:41 PM): they dont have a lot of room to work with
hippiedudecm (10:15:14 PM): from the ledge?
junkinthtrunk (10:15:16 PM): but a good player will cover the inside option (roll on), and most other options get up attack, get up buffer shield, ledge hop aerial are easily covered
junkinthtrunk (10:15:38 PM): the 2 best options are regular getup and ledge jump, ledge hop is usually bad
hippiedudecm (10:15:58 PM): cuz u use ur second jump and is risky right?
hippiedudecm (10:18:10 PM): but ye, i meant to ask like, in a tourney set, what should be my general procedure/plan like in order? like observe habits first stuff like that?
junkinthtrunk (10:21:53 PM): well youre using luigi right
hippiedudecm (10:22:13 PM): i use mario too and trying to second snake but ya
junkinthtrunk (10:23:43 PM): so theres like
junkinthtrunk (10:23:49 PM): 3 key points where u should observe habits
junkinthtrunk (10:23:56 PM): 1 when theyre on the outside
junkinthtrunk (10:23:59 PM): near the ledge
junkinthtrunk (10:24:02 PM): 2 when theyre landing
junkinthtrunk (10:24:29 PM): 3 when you do a setup move (for luigi thats jab and d-throw maybe d-air? i dunno luigi very well)
junkinthtrunk (10:24:47 PM): but you have to observe yourself in these situations too
junkinthtrunk (10:24:50 PM): never do the same thing twice
junkinthtrunk (10:25:00 PM): so really 6 "habits" to keep track of
hippiedudecm (10:25:11 PM): 6 habits? 0.0
junkinthtrunk (10:25:17 PM): 3 for you and 3 for the opponent
hippiedudecm (10:25:30 PM): i thought you should be your opponent and not your character no?
junkinthtrunk (10:25:32 PM): well really its more
junkinthtrunk (10:25:38 PM): cause
hippiedudecm (10:25:38 PM): looking at your opponent**
junkinthtrunk (10:25:43 PM): at high percents
junkinthtrunk (10:25:47 PM): most opponents change their style
junkinthtrunk (10:25:52 PM): and create a new set of habits
junkinthtrunk (10:26:06 PM): yeah u should look at your opponent but
junkinthtrunk (10:26:14 PM): when you get hit if you keep doing the same thing u get *****
junkinthtrunk (10:26:16 PM): even DIing
junkinthtrunk (10:26:31 PM): a great example is mk's d-throw
junkinthtrunk (10:26:37 PM): ill mix it up between DIing up and jumping
junkinthtrunk (10:26:51 PM): DIing down and teching it forward (since most mk's run forward after d-throw)
junkinthtrunk (10:27:02 PM): not DIing at all etc
hippiedudecm (10:27:13 PM): ooooooo okies okies i get what ya mean, i should be mixxing it up and not be predicting what not, ?
hippiedudecm (10:27:17 PM): predictable
junkinthtrunk (10:28:32 PM): right
junkinthtrunk (10:28:35 PM): u have to worry about
junkinthtrunk (10:28:37 PM): ur own habits
junkinthtrunk (10:28:40 PM): but also the opponents
hippiedudecm (10:32:01 PM): oooo okies
hippiedudecm (10:32:26 PM): when u mean like set ups moves, the ones that start your combos what not? like, u'd do a jab1 just to see how they react right?
junkinthtrunk (10:33:21 PM): yeah
hippiedudecm (10:33:32 PM): so like
hippiedudecm (10:33:49 PM): isnt it usually in game 1, is where u wanna idk they call it, "feel out your opponent" or obser his habits right?
hippiedudecm (10:33:53 PM): observe*
junkinthtrunk (10:34:12 PM): game 1
junkinthtrunk (10:34:14 PM): like stock 1
junkinthtrunk (10:34:18 PM): just play your basic game
junkinthtrunk (10:34:23 PM): while you start doing those reads
junkinthtrunk (10:34:35 PM): then from there you should start adapting
hippiedudecm (10:37:20 PM): ooo okies
hippiedudecm (10:38:13 PM): when you play, do you guess out the move they're gona use? like lets say hes going too approach me, l predict its gonna be a fair
junkinthtrunk (10:39:14 PM): yeah
junkinthtrunk (10:39:25 PM): like when i play
junkinthtrunk (10:39:29 PM): i see little bubbles around the characters
junkinthtrunk (10:39:37 PM): thats like their possible hit areas
junkinthtrunk (10:39:49 PM): so whenever u enter one of htose areas u have to shield
junkinthtrunk (10:39:56 PM): so u try to space right outside of it
junkinthtrunk (10:40:13 PM): more than the move
junkinthtrunk (10:40:16 PM): whats more important is position
junkinthtrunk (10:40:19 PM): spacing
junkinthtrunk (10:40:27 PM): attacks are limited to where you are
junkinthtrunk (10:40:40 PM): a lot of ppl
junkinthtrunk (10:40:44 PM): will kind of do a weave motion
junkinthtrunk (10:40:46 PM): with their spacing
junkinthtrunk (10:40:52 PM): move in with their longest range poke move
junkinthtrunk (10:40:54 PM): then move back out
junkinthtrunk (10:40:59 PM): example: marth f-air
junkinthtrunk (10:41:06 PM): you know this is happening
junkinthtrunk (10:41:12 PM): so you have to kinda "sync" with them
junkinthtrunk (10:41:19 PM): so ill move in, maybe forced to blog if i mistime
junkinthtrunk (10:41:28 PM): but the next time they try to do that now i can move back out and move back in with them
junkinthtrunk (10:41:32 PM): thats how i get inside
hippiedudecm (10:46:38 PM): ooo i see, well l know those kind of hitbubbles esp for marth since i used to main him, and like play every other marth lol
hippiedudecm (10:47:16 PM): but like, when lets say i wanna feel someone out or observe their reaction, like when i jab1 them, and i get like 3 different reactions like, a tilt shield grab, or just run away
hippiedudecm (10:47:30 PM): then i feel dumb cause i guess'd the wrong thing and shiznit
junkinthtrunk (10:47:54 PM): well u always cover one of them
junkinthtrunk (10:47:56 PM): while u observe
junkinthtrunk (10:48:04 PM): the most likely option
junkinthtrunk (10:48:09 PM): in case of luigis jab u grab
junkinthtrunk (10:48:15 PM): if they like spot dodge u can do something next time
junkinthtrunk (10:48:28 PM): if theyre just completely random then u cover their best option every time
junkinthtrunk (10:48:49 PM): and if ur doing that ur still at advantage even if in the short term u dont immediately hit htem
junkinthtrunk is available (10:51:39 PM)
om nom nom
hippiedudecm (10:52:37 PM): ooo cause like, when i jab1 them, and i predict the reaction they'll do but if i guessed it wrong idk i just feel kinda dumb lol
junkinthtrunk (10:53:00 PM): yeah everyone does
junkinthtrunk (10:53:05 PM): dont worry about it too much
hippiedudecm (10:56:53 PM): idks cause when i play after i get a clear observation of their habits, i just like to start to guess out some stuff then feel gay'd if its wrong
hippiedudecm (10:57:12 PM): jash (ec tl) that most ppl are bound to do something more than the other
hippiedudecm (10:57:31 PM): or try to learn from it and try to avoid it as much as possible or something
junkinthtrunk (10:57:35 PM): second line made no sense lol
hippiedudecm (10:57:39 PM): yeah lmfao
hippiedudecm (11:01:19 PM): but ye so i shouldnt be realy too worried if im guessing the wrong stuff?
junkinthtrunk (11:06:11 PM): nah
junkinthtrunk (11:06:13 PM): if youre not getting hit
junkinthtrunk (11:06:16 PM): thats why you cover the
junkinthtrunk (11:06:18 PM): inside option
junkinthtrunk (11:06:21 PM): and the get up attack
junkinthtrunk (11:06:29 PM): those are the 2 you cover first
junkinthtrunk (11:06:39 PM): and what u should cover if theyre random
junkinthtrunk (11:06:53 PM): anythign else doesnt actually hurty ou
junkinthtrunk (11:06:56 PM): so even if you dont make the read
junkinthtrunk (11:06:59 PM): youre still at advantage
junkinthtrunk (11:07:03 PM): thats how u stop urself from feelnig dumb
junkinthtrunk (11:07:06 PM): if u get hit with like
junkinthtrunk (11:07:09 PM): a get up attack
junkinthtrunk (11:07:17 PM): or u hit them with an aerial and marth like just spams f-air back at you
junkinthtrunk (11:07:20 PM): and it hits
junkinthtrunk (11:07:23 PM): thats when u feel dumb
junkinthtrunk (11:07:31 PM): cause they were just like mashing ont he c-stick after they got hit
hippiedudecm (11:09:09 PM): what do u mean inside option?
junkinthtrunk (11:09:27 PM): the roll to the inside of the stage
junkinthtrunk (11:09:37 PM): cause u were at advantage
junkinthtrunk (11:09:40 PM): if u let them roll inside
junkinthtrunk (11:09:42 PM): now theyre at advantage
junkinthtrunk (11:09:46 PM): if they get up attack and hit you
junkinthtrunk (11:09:59 PM): its a neutral situatino but they got damage on you in ur advantage situation
junkinthtrunk (11:10:04 PM): both are annoying
junkinthtrunk (11:10:12 PM): thats why theyre annoying lol youre at advantage us hould be winning
junkinthtrunk (11:10:16 PM): thats why u cover those
junkinthtrunk (11:10:25 PM): the other optinos, regular get up, roll away, youre still at advantage
hippiedudecm (11:14:25 PM): okies dokiesssss.
hippiedudecm (11:15:12 PM): i think that's it, lol , sorrys since i use mario bros and u dont know them fully >.<
hippiedudecm (11:15:33 PM): and their horrible chars compared to ppl like snake and marth lol
junkinthtrunk (11:25:28 PM): they just require
junkinthtrunk (11:25:31 PM): more patience
junkinthtrunk (11:26:03 PM): less offensive opportunities
junkinthtrunk (11:26:15 PM): like to the point where i dont think 8 minutes is long enough if u played them perfectly
hippiedudecm (11:27:54 PM): lolsss yaaa
hippiedudecm (11:28:17 PM): im going to a mini local tourney tmr im hoping rukki can come so we can actually try out
hippiedudecm (11:28:20 PM): d3/luigi offline
