seriously though
westballz got like 4th at wa
but you know what? shephard lima is just as good as him
shephard lima is one of the best players in the world. real talk. friggin absurd he's not ranked.
he's better than silent wolf
and connor
By implication, he’s as good as lovage then according to you.
fiction is = or > than sfat most certainly. i was actually really disappointed w/ zac's skill level when i played him. im sure he wasnt playing his best but still. fiction is a whole lot cleaner. obv that's in a low pressure environment but even accounting for that i have no trouble saying fiction is one of the best foxes in the country. i'd still bet my life savings on him tapping you.
As of now, the onus of proof is on Fiction to show up and do well at tournaments. He’ll always be remembered as the guy that does well at friendlies and can’t hold leads/choke in melee singles. This is the default position that many players will hold, until he shows up to a tournament. Until then, your perception of Fiction has almost as little credibility to a person who claims he has a really good friend that he plays with in neighborhood ___________.
and the fact that u say u "don't doubt he's good" but then go on to doubt he's good shows me ur a noob. you have a weak definition of good. i don't.
I guess I should be clearer on how I define “good”, since there are degrees. When I say Shepherd is good, I mean that he’s probably a solid player. When I think of “great”, I think of players of Zhu’s, Fly’s, and Lovage’s caliber. Shepherd =/= great (yet). He has yet to prove himself, so why put him up there?
very few people are good at this game. fiction is like the bare minimum of good. he's not "very good," he's just good. lovage is "very good." from there you have top 3 in the world. that's it. people are way too generous about their/other people's skill level. that's why you'll never see me saying i'm good. when you're good, it's obvious; other people champion your cause.
People have been championing my cause and giving me credit (lovage, westballz, s2j) and frankly, I think that is making you jealous. Ever since the Occidental tournament, it’s as if you have a personal mission to bring me down. You many not say that, but it’s definitely showing in your actions. The proof is in the pudding (/adamisms)
This does remind me though of the many times you have been wrong
1. You vs. Shroomed
2. You vs. Scar (at genesis)
3. You vs. Scar (again, but you flaked)
4. You vs. Sethlon
Shoot, I wish I had a name that started with an ‘S’. Needless to say, I’m pretty sure that you were thinking that you were absolutely certain that you were going to win all 4 of these matches, but you lost all 3 of these larger matches and flaked on one.
I would like to repeatedly remind you.
I never stated I would beat Fiction. In my posts, I wrote my opinions in response to you thinking that he would “repeatedly” 3 stock me. If he beats me, then great! It’s annoying that you are constantly not comprehending what I wrote and assuming other things. Obviously there’s a gap between our perceptions of him. I still think he’s solid, and I would like to believe that he’s as good as you say he is, but he hasn’t shown up to anything, so I will remain a skeptic until he does
