MDVA, I'm not hosting the PR tournament. With school starting and a bunch of other life **** going on, it's just too stressful. I'm probably not going to be restarting PR tournament stuff any time soon. The lack of support and motivation from the community is really killing my ability to host ****. I can't run a 30/40-man tournament right now.
For what it's worth, I'll continue to keep track of tournament results and maybe I'll release an objective PR someday.
We need to start helping each other get better. Players need to start asking for help and start giving advice. Better players should offer help to lesser players, and vice versa. People are good at different things and we need to talk about gameplay. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this community who recognizes the mistakes and predictability and wrong choices that players better than me often make. I want people to not be afraid of criticizing people better than them and to not keep things to yourself when you're ****** someone. If you're reading all their techs, you need to tell them that. If they're spotdodging, you need to tell them when they're doing it. You need to tell them that they always double jump to fake out and that they don't mix up their dashdances enough, or that they fall through platforms predictably. Tell others that they're using the wrong moves to approach or doing things that don't work in the situation.
Ask people what you should do in 'that' situation. Ask players how you can get around what they're doing and how you can follow up your combo better. Ask what the best options are for punishing that mistake and what is absolutely counterable.
Stop hiding your strategy from others and start getting better at this game. If you notice something, stop abusing it for twenty matches and start telling them what the **** they're doing wrong.
That is all.

I always feel awkward giving advice when it isn't asked for.
I feel like most of the players in this region aren't really receptive to it, either because they don't want to hear it or (more common) because they don't absorb it very well while playing.
I also don't want to seem out of line in critiquing the better players since I can't beat anyone in tournament...
The last issue is that sometimes I feel like the only (other?) analytical smasher in our entire community is Mahone

I feel the same way, Winston. I'm very analytical but I tend to keep it to myself. Most of my studying and practicing is done in private these days. /shrug

I was planning on going to Bones0 last Friday, sadly I couldn't get off work. I just recently started looking into the smash community, but I have yet to attend any smashfests or tournaments. I live in a Annapolis so I feel like I'm in pretty good region, and I really want to start playing more often and get better. Whens your next smash fest Sypher? could probably read a few pages back to find out, but its late and I'm tired.
Winston

^ You should hit up Vist, he lives in Pasadena, which isn't too far from Annapolis according to google maps
If you want to come to College Park to play me you can do that too >__>

Or who ever is hosting anything anytime soon...

^ If we had fests at College Park would you come?
I'll extend that question to everyone from VA as well, I guess. Sypher's has definitely been overbooked for some time now.
I know Wenbo tried to get something going two weeks ago and nobody ended up coming. Is there any interest? I think Bones and Vist appreciate that CP is ~40 minutes closer to them than Syphers is.

This sounds GREAT. I will DEF come to CP Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays. If you can give me the date a week or so in advanced, I can get off work and come anytime.

I would go, I keep wanting to go to stuff, but I keep forgetting to check this site to see when stuff is coming up. I didn't even know bones was hosting anything until a day after it ended.

I think I'm free to smash all week again because I'm not going to the beach anymore.
Ryan & Max: if you guys decide to go to something I would appreciate a ride because although I'm not going to the beach my sister and mom are.
*that means one less car which basically means no car
Actually My sister and mom will be taking my grandmas car so I think I'll still have one to drive

Tuesdays?! Not exactly the best day for everyone. We usually smash on Fridays, although there are minor smashfests on other days when people don't have work to do. Chances are, every Friday there's smash going on. How many people go is dependent on luck.
