So, who's tired of being whupped by OOS? Do any of you guys like going to tournaments where OOS attend and then enjoy feeling like you're terrible(which you're NOT) when you get knocked out early? Since I'm sure that is the case with pretty much all of us(myself included) don't enjoy that at all, then this is be relevant to you:
I realize that we are mad chill and like to have fun, and I respect that, but the other side of the game is the competitive, proving one's abilities side. I feel like this more-serious element of the game is thrown to the wayside by several smashers here...or they just give up on being competitive time and time again when things don't have to be that way. I feel like most, if not all of NC's smashers can attain a level that is at least one step higher than what they are on now(including LoZR and I) with the proper mindset/guidance. There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve one's abilities, and if you have the motivation, then you can be good(even without loads of free time). Disclaimer: I think some/most of you are motivated well enough, but need to be exposed to more thought-provoking material(such as intricacies of stage positioning) to be shaped into better/great players.
To get towards my point: I believe this is not so much an attitude problem(we one of the most active states around without a doubt, so enthusiasm is not an issue), but a problem that is due to not being shown/taught properly. I am willing to take the blame for a larger portion of difficulties players have been experiencing, as I have not been overly helpful towards everyone who has asked me questions or I have not done my best to explain something to its deepest extent. I feel like NC has always been about doing things their own way and not teaching each other a great deal(at least from what I have observed for the most part), and if anyone could offer valuable knowledge to a bro that could use his help that would be too good.
So, here's the point of this thread: besides emphasizing our need to not waste all of these tournaments we keep having(competitively speaking of course), I am now going to do my absolute best to answer questions and give advice to you guys when you need it. I plan on helping everyone in NC out by making more in-depth, general posts in some of our threads(anyone have a better suggestion for the presentation of this?), but beyond that I believe it is up to you to come to me with your problems or questions so that I can help you out.
A few things:
-if I can't help you out immediately, you'd better believe I'll try to find the answer to a question or a concern ASAP
-this is a more serious discussion so I'd really like to not spam this up and give me honest feedback
-this is probably going to be Melee-based for now since I understand that game wayyyyy better than Brawl(I'm sure some/most general things will apply to Brawl too)
-be critical of my methods, both in this thread and anywhere else. I want to be as profitable of a resource as I can be.
-I cannot do everything character specific, but I do know at least the basics about every character, so don't count me out on obscure knowledge until you ask(I probably know weird things lol).
Well, who's ready to put NC on the map? LoZR and I can't do this alone, bros.
