My dilemma

[Odigo]

*sigh*

I've mained marth since back in melee but now I don't know if I should continue with him. I don't feel like I've got much better or evolved as a marth player despite making conscious efforts. If you talked to the people I brawl with they'll more than likely disagree with me saying that, but I consciously watch my own game as I play and I scold myself for dumb mistakes and punishments.

I used to constantly lurk these boards looking for and reading more tips, at's, guides, and anything else I can incorporate into my marth game. I was always on the lookout for a new post by EL 'cause I always found his information incredibly useful. And the thing is, I actually do incorporate everything I've read on these boards.

It's odd because although my marth game has CHANGED, I don't feel as if it's EVOLVED. I'm typically the best smasher amongst all my friends (but that's just them). I don't really like playing on WiFi because I hate the lag and I have yet to go to a brawl tournament 'cause I haven't known of any in my area.

I used to main maybe 2 characters in brawl with around 3 submains. That was way too many for me and it was throwing off my game. So I pretty much gave up (competitively) most of them. So now, I'm stuck on MK and Olly.

I feel weird though 'cause I've stuck with marth for as long as I can remember. And now I don't know if I should keep at it or not. Aaarrrgggghhhh. I feel like it's hopeless and I'm not that good with him despite being practically unbeatable amongst the people I play with.

I'm confused

That's my rant.

On other news, I saw Dethklok last week. They were amazing =D Brandom Small is too sic

If you had already had a fine grip on the basics of this game, it will become difficult for you to noticeably become better. I'm not going to try to explain, and instead direct you to someone who has already done so:

You should play every character...and learn how they fight...by doing so you learn all there weakness and strenghts or moves with priority...about 3 weeks ago i was so emo about playing marth cuz i couldn't land my tippers like i usually did...so i started playing around with other characters...and i noticed how much better marth was...i figured it out, i knew that i had to get better and that there was potential that i was missing...last tourney i went to i got 7th out of 76 people the one before that it was 3rd single and doubles before that it was second in singles and double...and i've been acknowledged as the best marth in florida by many people...and never turn down tips from anyone even if they don't play marth

If you think Guilty Gear is so much better than Brawl, why don't you go play that instead? (Referring to Odigo's reply on page 8 of the thread *Sigh, posted by Emblem Lord in the Marth forum)

Practically every competitively accepted fighting game currently being played is better than Brawl. But that's neither here nor there.

haha . 2 epic ankoku

wow, sure told him.

Then why do you, Ankoku, play Brawl when you have all those better games to play? And why do you have 3,588 posts here? Don't you have anything better to do? Ima get dissed for this, but just pointing out an obvious fact.

Just because one chooses to play Brawl does not mean he or she must be completely ignorant of its obvious flaws and preach its "greatness" like a GameFAQs troll.

I play Brawl, and I agree it is inferior to other competitive fighting games for the sake of...I don't know, competition?

There's no point in "beating the dead horse;" Brawl is a bad competitive game in general. It, as many other things, can still be played competitively, but that in no way means it's a good competitive game.

I play Brawl because I suck at Melee and traditional fighters (Melee because I never got into it; trad. fighters because I can't remember combos).

Also, I get to start from scratch like many other players. I can learn new aspects of the metagame as they are unveiled, so that I do not become overwhelmed. So that's my reason of playing it, but it's not a good game for competition. Also, this is the only game I have for the Wii, besides my GCN games.

Err, let's not take this "Brawl is bad" conversation to the Character Boards. Let's leave it in the General Brawl section. =P

I play Melee, Brawl, IaMP, and MBAC. Why do I have to stick to one game just because it's better than the rest of them?

I've been here since 2006, and at least 2000 of those 3500 posts come from when I was here playing and talking about Melee. What, I'm not allowed to talk a lot about a game I really like playing? Or chat around with friends in the Regional Zones boards? :V
