**EDIT** After reading this...dont miss my post on the second page...it kinda explains alot :D

So...I go on Smash Boards, I go on youtube, and I see **** Metaknights everywhere... I see inefficient moves, a lack of edgeguarding, a lack of gimping, a lack of comboing... everywhere. No Metaknight that I watch am I completly blown away by, the 'Combo' videos out there are sad efforts...

The only Metaknight I see who actually plays pretty decently is M2k and even then his matches last forever, he spams moves like crazy not hitting half the time..and I still think is overall boring to watch... Just look at his matches vs Azen...

Now see this is very disappointing for me...I want to get better, but have no one to watch and emulate and learn from, you can see my problem yes?

http://uk.youtube.com/user/KullaKure

This is a link to my Youtube...I have heap of friendlies up there (due to alot of time on my hands and alot of boredom)...however these are the only games that I have recorded of me playing and as I'm sure you can see they are all vsing only two different people. Being the case, you can still view my style and I can assure you that my ease of victory isnt an uncommon thing...I'm very much so undefeated in all of Sydney, and also am current 'National Champion' of Australia, so please... no comments of just..."Your opponents suck!"

But yeah the whole point of this post is for you guys to help me...provide me with links to matches where the Metaknight playing is better then mine and also some pointers would be nice... I also wonder how many rabid fanboys I'm gonna get... I should get a nice variety of responses...

Many thanks,
Kulla

they whiff alot of moves because they both space really well... that's normal when you play high level matches. Anyways your meta seems pretty good, but I don't know if you can beat the best out there lol

I hope you know, the guy you are playing against isn't that great. Which is probably boosting your ego. This thread sucks.

PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG.

God I hate arrogant people like you.

Edit - Good job, you can beat Ike and Pit. Give us more than just you pounding a couple of easy matchups before you say you're the greatest of all time. Also: for the love of God, hit the A button a couple times when you grab someone.

Read the opening post, he already though you would be saying this, obviously.

Go play against others and we'll judge again.

Well yeah, you guys are right, Turt does suck. :)

But uhh, I think some people are getting the wrong idea.
Kulla doesn't know how to get better; he's near undefeated on a land mass that covers most of the United States. His idea is to probably not fall behind but keep up, but there's nothing to be seen. I guess.

Yada yada, MK is a horrid character. Play a real character, like Link.

id like to think i've gotten alot better since these videos (i came off like a 2-3 month break the day these vids were made) no need to be jerks... its also hard to look like you're playing well as a pit player when you're playing against a really good metaknight and as far as shaya goes, he is terrible at this game and needs to stick to myspace or something.

for someone who mains a character you make a lot poor percent based movement choices

rapid a at low % then getting punished, non spaced f-smashes


and wtf @ that little dash dance **** you do randomly, unecessary and increases chances of tripping








chok one up to another arrogant metaknight player who thinks he's good when he isn't

dude maybe give some examples of times when these things happened? cause generally throughout most of the videos his fsmash is spaced very well and if whiffed is done quickly into a dsmash and rapid a even at low % can lead into a quick smash or many other things as it generally throws your opponent off when they get hit by it, to be honest like dont take this the wrong way, but i think you have no ****ing idea what you're talking about and to say that this guy is a bad player is a bit naive hes obviously a very good player regardless of 1 or 2 minor things u could find wrong with his game, that you're yet to give examples of... just ****ing relax the main reason behind this thread was to incite some kind of response in the MK community and get some examples of good players to show him how he can take his game to a new level. There is no need to be a ****ing *******.

Turtle you don't know what YOU are talking about. rapid at low percent = getting owned. Your opponents get thrown off by being hit? Ouch.
I don't really need to expand anymore

NEO > you.

So since this is brawl, reacting fast is such a new concept right?

Melee....WAY more reaction based than brawl will ever be.

IE: You go to attempt a drill shine against your opponent, and they SHIELD. This situation relies solely on your reaction time because

1: There is now shieldstun, timing for SHFFLING is COMPLETELY different.
2. If you don't see that he has shielded within at 1/3 a second, you won't l cancel and will be punished.


In order to punish MK's rapid A, you simply DI away and attack :O

You clearly can't judge on what hes done right or wrong in the 40 or so videos, because after watching his video, he has displayed hes just your average MK, spammy and thoughtless.

Though my opinion doesnt matter because
p.s you're **** too
Ya im utter crap...*goes and places second with a top 8 full of mks and snakes, peach exclusively*

Though this is all just opinion, Im wrong.

He places first in a national tournament?
You place... second? in a small jurisdiction's tournament?

Lalalalalala.
and by small jurisdiction tournament you mean, every player who is on the Ontario PR. and then more? I think that qualifies for a skilled tournament.

Not to mention the players I eliminated, were

Delorted(Snake) (1 rank higher on pr)
Ambrose(MK) (4 ranks higher on pr)
JL(Mk/snake) (1st on PR)
Minus(MK) (3 ranks higher on pr)

But once again, you're argument kills me. You guys have a way more skillful census of players and have had brawl way longer than us.

Jesus I suck.

Why so serious?
"your" arguments. I'm not arguing, I was just throwing out a fact of sorts.

Most people playing Brawl in Australia (at least those who actively participate in tournaments), obtained brawl *** release or US release. Now; that's a counter-argument. Let's hope it doesn't kill you.

Our census of players is relatively small to your own, most definately, Australia still wants to make a mark of sorts though. We'd love to see America shine in the brawl department. A plethora of knowledge and skill should be developed world-wide; if one jurisdiction is ahead of us we'd like to catch up. We subjectively view there being little difference between 'us' and are slightly disappointed. Maybe we shouldn't be?

Also turtle has gotten better since those videos (perhaps a month ago). As have I, as have many people. Our opinion still remains unchanged.

Perhaps you could say the same? "Our" videos are a month+ old as well. That's also disappointing. How does the 'plethora' develop if topics like this aren't brought up?

First of all most brawl videos are boring to watch. Second, when pros fight they space themselves properly. Third the guy your fighting sucks ***. He doesnt dodge anything, he cant space at all.

Shaya, don't John about the videos when we were told to watch them in the first place. That metaknight plays a lot of like the average MK around here :/. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't place higher than 25th at a national tournament like CH3 or FAST1 here. On the last page, Neo owned you guys.

Either way, brawl sucks. :/

1. ike sucks
2. pit isnt that good
3. metaknight houses both of them

seeing that you should easily beat these people by playing a higher tier character, you also have an advantage over both of them because of the character you play. in addition, your opponents (the ones in the vids) suck. theyre absolutely terrible whether they took 2-3 months off from playing, they shouldnt be that bad. now your metaknight, i dont see anything impressive. your style is adequate, your skill is adequate, your KOs are adequate, you are adequate. until i see some vids of you winning the australian national tournament and playing against good players (that doesnt mean the best in australia) you are an adequate MK.

Why would you ask to be disrespected this way.

You have some skill on you. Besides the fact that you're playing ike and pit that dont look all too great, you did make good decisions with nice spacing and timing. You did make alot of mistakes too though. You have alot to improve on, as do all of us. I'd really love to see you play m2k to back up those heavy words your throwing down.

Highly skilled or not, acting as arrogant as you are here isn't doing anything, but showing that you're not a very respectable player. Your just asking for conflict, and you need to think a little bit before criticizing others.

Nice mk, but don't act hard on smashboards. Don't ask us to prove you wrong. With a statement like that, YOU prove US wrong, and beat the best. Then you can make that claim. >.>

Dojo out...

Well…This has all certainly been very interesting, but I think its time to come clean about something…Turtle mentioned this but it passed over many of your heads in your attempts to flame him: I created this post to get certain reactions out of people and I succeeded in my aims. I’d also like to apologise for manipulating you Smash Boardians, but I was curious and very bored…

Basically what I wanted from this post was to:
1. See if I could get more replies out of being an arrogant egomaniac then a regular “Hey guys here is some vids, any pointers?” guy who wants help.
2. See what reactions people would have to someone who they love to hate.
3. Actually get some advice on my Metaknight (even though I knew most of it would be flaming, which as you can see…it was.)
4. Get someone to show me some awesome Metaknight vids, which I have not seen many of before…
5. And finally get the pure selfish ego bolstering effect of more youtube views

Here are my observations:
First of all, I hate people with big egos, I’d like to say that they are the opposite of everything I try do with my life, humility builds much character and spirit… but I’ve seen enough of them in my brief life to emulate one with ease. First I just had to pick a title that would be sure to piss people off…Claim I’m better then a pro, I even went further and claimed that I was better then the proest of the pros M2k, I was expecting a fanboy response of “M2k is god lol…you don’t stand a chance” and I wasn’t really that disappointed. I felt kinda guilty about dissing every other Metaknight, but it was part of getting a rise out of peoples own egos about their own playing abilities, that was the only thing I lied about…how there were no good Metaknights apart from M2k, I know there are…However I still think M2k is boring to watch…but that’s because I find every match of Brawl boring to watch (I’ll always love you Melee)…Anyway…Pretty much the results of this egotistical jerk making his post was better then I hoped… I got 350ish reads of my thread and almost 30 replies in well under 24 hours, whereas we compare too a post I made a few weeks back: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=178385 In the week or so that I kept it bumped up on the first page it got ten replies (most of which are me bumping) and only 240 views…
I spose the conclusion to this is that people would rather hate on a person then help them out…if you want attention its far better to be a jerk then to ask kindly… Comment on human nature? I dunno…way too much to go into in this post…but yeah it was interesting.

For the second point…yeah people love to hate…Now I’m not going to attack people for attacking me…I mean that was the whole point, but constructive criticism woulda been nice… which brings me to my next point… Actually no wait… I do have one person to pick apart: Nico, your almost as arrogant as my fake post, you take other peoples supposed victories as your own, i.e. Neo, when you get a tiny flame from someone who obviously doesn’t know anything about how you play you start spouting off how high you have ranked and all the people you have beaten…You make the major assumptions that people in Australia have no idea what importing is (many of us had the game within weeks of its release in Japan…I still use my *** wii to play brawl on), and that we have no ranking system at all for any of our smashing communities…Melbourne has tournaments constantly and has a consistent ranking system… Go troll somewhere where your opinion might mean something to other trolls…(well aware of the hypocrisy, but mine at least was intentional.) In contrast, I’d just like to point out that Dojo had probably the best response out of everyone, granted there were no specific playing tips, he offered some criticism, and lamented at my arrogance instead of attacking it…You’re a champ Dojo, keep it up, we need more people like you in these forums.

Neo, I’m going to explain to you why I do those things… First of all…the rapid a at low percentages, when used correctly can still be useful, while this is theorycraft other people indulged so shall I (there is also personal experience behind this reasoning)…You catch someone with either their feet off the ground and close enough inside of you or even shielding, if you end it fast enough, chances are your not going to get hit…if their feet are off the ground…they will take a second or so to DI away from you then a bit more to be able to react as they have to put their feet back on the ground to attack (though some characters obviously have some quick aerials that can be used if the person DI’s up high enough)…If they shield, sure there is no shield lag, but do you think they can time dropping their shield at a point where they are not going to be hit by a random swing of MKs sword? Comes down to luck imo, or controller ports if they are trying to grab… and like is said…if you end it fast enough…you usually have a split second where there are attempting DI or shield where you can punish them for that…Works better at higher percentages, but it still works… My forward smashes are generally either done in anticipation with the knowledge that there is almost no lag after it…resulting in a down smash to anyone who tries to rush me…or they are spaced correctly, people make mistakes, don’t judge my entire playing style from one grabbed fsmash… Now as for Dash dancing…you say its useless, I say your very, very wrong, first the tripping factor is negligible, I trip on average once, max twice a game, even with all the dash dancing I do…So that’s an invalid point, secondly, its unpredictable and its very useful for spacing…I generally use it to try and psych out a dodge from an anticipated up-b, or into a grab…or into a dash attack or into a shff empty jump for a mind game… It was way more potential then you think…

Oh and for that guy who said attack when I grab, I prefer to keep the match fluid then waste time with Metaknight slow grab attack, which I found was getting wiggled out of the second I went for more then one…plus a quick grab into a fthrow could mean no DI, which could mean a nice shuttleloop kill…but yeah…I do think stuff through…

No one gave me any Metaknight vids…fair enough, considering it was kinda a favour…but I thought there would be some at least with “See look he is better then you, look what he does,” too much to ask I suppose…

Finally my youtube page got quite a few views in such a short period of time its kinda funny…So I suppose mission accomplished there…Couple of funny mentions though; people one starred my videos (well I would like to think so anyway) in a way to spite me and make me angry that people didn’t like my vids…even though I know they are semi-decent…kinda immature. Also I got more subscribers and a few more comments…which I love…it’s a nice little ego boost…

Anyway I think that’s enough Wall’O’Text for now…sorry once again to anyone I really pissed off, I was really bored and wanted to see some results…

Also thanks to Turtle and Shaya for having my back…even though it made you the bad guys, much respect.

Peace

you spelled grammar wrong.

anyways i am not sure many people are going to read that big wall of text but being arrogant just to attract views is not good since you end up looking like that because some people just skip the big wall of text where you explain yourself.anyways i still think your meta knight is just average.

Well I actually decided to read your monster of a post reaction, and I have to call mindgames... even on me. Nice post and point proven, although I highly doubt people are gonna read it.

The fact of the matter is all people are just trying to get their game better, and become more known. Very few people are interested in helping the community as a whole. Just becoming the best possible. Which most people will never accomplish.

I'm not sure what else to add really... I don't tend to read video threads often mostly in part because i find most brawl matches boring to watch. This was interesting and opened my eyes a little.

As I said your MK does have some skill to it... but it does need work. Just like the rest of us. This thread should probably be shut and a more decent post can be made than this. I suppose I can help out with the little knowledge I have.

fair enough, considering it was kinda a favor

(I really cant be bothered to check for spelling or grammar mistakes so just ignore it if you see it ^^)
go to school, this is pathetic

Well…This has all certainly been very interesting, but I think its time to come clean about something…Turtle mentioned this but it passed over many of your heads in your attempts to flame him: I created this post to get certain reactions out of people and I succeeded in my aims. I’d also like to apologise for manipulating you Smash Boardians, but I was curious and very bored…

Basically what I wanted from this post was to:
1. See if I could get more replies out of being an arrogant egomaniac then a regular “Hey guys here is some vids, any pointers?” guy who wants help.
2. See what reactions people would have to someone who they love to hate.
3. Actually get some advice on my Metaknight (even though I knew most of it would be flaming, which as you can see…it was.)
4. Get someone to show me some awesome Metaknight vids, which I have not seen many of before…
5. And finally get the pure selfish ego bolstering effect of more youtube views

Here are my observations:
First of all, I hate people with big egos, I’d like to say that they are the opposite of everything I try do with my life, humility builds much character and spirit… but I’ve seen enough of them in my brief life to emulate one with ease. First I just had to pick a title that would be sure to piss people off…Claim I’m better then a pro, I even went further and claimed that I was better then the proest of the pros M2k, I was expecting a fanboy response of “M2k is god lol…you don’t stand a chance” and I wasn’t really that disappointed. I felt kinda guilty about dissing every other Metaknight, but it was part of getting a rise out of peoples own egos about their own playing abilities, that was the only thing I lied about…how there were no good Metaknights apart from M2k, I know there are…However I still think M2k is boring to watch…but that’s because I find every match of Brawl boring to watch (I’ll always love you Melee)…Anyway…Pretty much the results of this egotistical jerk making his post was better then I hoped… I got 350ish reads of my thread and almost 30 replies in well under 24 hours, whereas we compare too a post I made a few weeks back: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=178385 In the week or so that I kept it bumped up on the first page it got ten replies (most of which are me bumping) and only 240 views…
I spose the conclusion to this is that people would rather hate on a person then help them out…if you want attention its far better to be a jerk then to ask kindly… Comment on human nature? I dunno…way too much to go into in this post…but yeah it was interesting.

For the second point…yeah people love to hate…Now I’m not going to attack people for attacking me…I mean that was the whole point, but constructive criticism woulda been nice… which brings me to my next point… Actually no wait… I do have one person to pick apart: Nico, your almost as arrogant as my fake post, you take other peoples supposed victories as your own, i.e. Neo, when you get a tiny flame from someone who obviously doesn’t know anything about how you play you start spouting off how high you have ranked and all the people you have beaten…You make the major assumptions that people in Australia have no idea what importing is (many of us had the game within weeks of its release in Japan…I still use my *** wii to play brawl on), and that we have no ranking system at all for any of our smashing communities…Melbourne has tournaments constantly and has a consistent ranking system… Go troll somewhere where your opinion might mean something to other trolls…(well aware of the hypocrisy, but mine at least was intentional.) In contrast, I’d just like to point out that Dojo had probably the best response out of everyone, granted there were no specific playing tips, he offered some criticism, and lamented at my arrogance instead of attacking it…You’re a champ Dojo, keep it up, we need more people like you in these forums.

Neo, I’m going to explain to you why I do those things… First of all…the rapid a at low percentages, when used correctly can still be useful, while this is theorycraft other people indulged so shall I (there is also personal experience behind this reasoning)…You catch someone with either their feet off the ground and close enough inside of you or even shielding, if you end it fast enough, chances are your not going to get hit…if their feet are off the ground…they will take a second or so to DI away from you then a bit more to be able to react as they have to put their feet back on the ground to attack (though some characters obviously have some quick aerials that can be used if the person DI’s up high enough)…If they shield, sure there is no shield lag, but do you think they can time dropping their shield at a point where they are not going to be hit by a random swing of MKs sword? Comes down to luck imo, or controller ports if they are trying to grab… and like is said…if you end it fast enough…you usually have a split second where there are attempting DI or shield where you can punish them for that…Works better at higher percentages, but it still works… My forward smashes are generally either done in anticipation with the knowledge that there is almost no lag after it…resulting in a down smash to anyone who tries to rush me…or they are spaced correctly, people make mistakes, don’t judge my entire playing style from one grabbed fsmash… Now as for Dash dancing…you say its useless, I say your very, very wrong, first the tripping factor is negligible, I trip on average once, max twice a game, even with all the dash dancing I do…So that’s an invalid point, secondly, its unpredictable and its very useful for spacing…I generally use it to try and psych out a dodge from an anticipated up-b, or into a grab…or into a dash attack or into a shff empty jump for a mind game… It was way more potential then you think…

Oh and for that guy who said attack when I grab, I prefer to keep the match fluid then waste time with Metaknight slow grab attack, which I found was getting wiggled out of the second I went for more then one…plus a quick grab into a fthrow could mean no DI, which could mean a nice shuttleloop kill…but yeah…I do think stuff through…

No one gave me any Metaknight vids…fair enough, considering it was kinda a favour…but I thought there would be some at least with “See look he is better then you, look what he does,” too much to ask I suppose…

Finally my youtube page got quite a few views in such a short period of time its kinda funny…So I suppose mission accomplished there…Couple of funny mentions though; people one starred my videos (well I would like to think so anyway) in a way to spite me and make me angry that people didn’t like my vids…even though I know they are semi-decent…kinda immature. Also I got more subscribers and a few more comments…which I love…it’s a nice little ego boost…

Anyway I think that’s enough Wall’O’Text for now…sorry once again to anyone I really pissed off, I was really bored and wanted to see some results…

Also thanks to Turtle and Shaya for having my back…even though it made you the bad guys, much respect.

Peace

Could it be that you fail at being a spelling troll?

A lot of people only like to post if by posting, they'll put someone else down and in turn make themselves feel better. And if you make yourself seem arrogant, the likelihood you'll see a few of those posts is much higher. I've made posts asking for critiques which got nothing but flames in response, and I never claimed to be the best or anything. So why are you surprised that people are flaming you?

"theory-craft". Oh no, WORKS NOW.
Spose? I suppose the use of colloquial VERBAL words is horrendous.
Also, you seem to lack the general knowledge (i.e. something you learn in primary school) that English has variations between the United States and the Commonwealth. This is seen by your stupidity in criticising "apologise" and "favour".
I can't forgive the use of then over than though. Shame on you Kulla.

Finally.

"How do I fail?
And (improper use at the beginning of a sentence) don't say troll. It sounds gay (this is wrong, you used a full stop but continued to rely on a previously set context), like 'you play world of warcraft' gay."

If I were to restructure this statement this is how it would go:

"I find it preposterous that you think I fail, it is purely conjecture, can you prove otherwise?
Please refrain from throwing out the word "troll"; it's use is inadequate. The type of inadequacy involved is aligned with those who play 'World of Warcraft'."
