So I just watched some of the matches EA. Thanks for doing that btw, I don't feel too bad about it now. Like I could tell just by watching that I was super nervous about being recorded in the first game on BF, just all the little mistakes, actually getting grabbed multiple times, not mixing things up, being too defensive or too aggressive for too long and getting punished for it. Just stuff. I visibly loosened up after I 'won' that match somehow (it could have been bad luck or just Nana, but you should have won that first game, we both know that). In the second game, even accidently sd'ing when I was about to kill you didn't put me off because I had a win under my belt already so nothing really mattered to me anymore, I was just able to play without the added worry. So hopefully now that I've got it out there, those nerves in the first match are behind me for good. Either way, I think it was a good experience for me and has helped me improve. I only hope that you get something out if it as well.

Dude I told you it'd be good for you.

Don't worry, I am being emotionally crushed as we speak, the critique is staggering...

What critique? I looked in the video thread you posted everything in and no one has said anything yet. Are people PMing you critique?
In any case, what are they saying? I'm actualy curious. (specifically about our matches, but anything is good atm)

it's on the skype chat, i'll pm you a summary after if you want. or even just the log if you have a spare hour to read it all.

I think luxie is going to get mjg to crit the TL games so watch out for that.

!!FUUU
(or should I say FAAA XD)
I don't want critique man! I know where I went wrong. The difference is I actualy know which things where accidents and which were just bad ideas. And there are many accidents. Accidents don't need critique, they need practise. Like Up-Bing when I mean to Side-B or jump cancel'd F-smashing when I meant to do instant aerials, I don't neeeed anyone to tell me not to do that. I know already.
Oh man.
I knew this was a bad idea.

(and I don't mind reading for an hour)

Hi Wvz. Good to see another three letter username in the vicinity :)

I live in Rouse Hill, which is pretty close to Windsor. Do you drive? If not, are you okay with catching trains?

e_alert often hosts meets (most likely next weekend on Saturday) and Tedeth hosts meets at his house in the Blue Mountains every Friday. It'd be great to have you attend something sometime ^^

I just read his critique. It's quite harsh. I have to say though, when he wasn't bashing everyone else or organising his trip over here, he did make some really good points. It was just hard get anything out of all that negativity.

Now I'm thinking of how much less I want myself critiqued by one of my favourite Toons. Poor mjg. Why would you want to put him through that? This is the guy who can critique the pro TL's cause he's a pro himself. I'm just not worth his time tbh.

Guys... I have an announcement.

A new series of meets is in the works...

TEDETH'S "WING-SMASH!!!"

That's right. An overnight meet dedicated to not only smash, but also BUFFALO WINGS as well as potentially other amazing foods.

Thoughts?

I don't play melee.

I play Ice Climbers and MK Competitively

I am developing a Wario (so I don't have t play MK), Toon Link (so I don't have to ditto), Olimar (so I don't have to research ICs stuff anymore), and Yoshi (so I don't have to think and can just throw things).

I play Lucas (learning the mekos style because he's the best) and Zelda in low tier, but will probably switch that for Yoshi once I get that up to speed.

I want to learn Pit and Sonic at some point.

I think it's too late notice for this week, but we should do Mondays in future.

Wednesday is probably the best bet for this week though.

@Wvz
Welcome mate. Good to see someone new. Your probably in the best scene in NSW to learn how to get better. We are the most active and has some of australia's best and most commited players.
I also apologies in advance.

@ EA.
If any of my matches were critiqued can I get them Nathaniel. I'm interested in what people had to say.
Also, are you hosting a meet this saturday and if so is alright if I stay till about 1:30-2 am so I can go straight to work from your place?

@Ted
In regards to the OP. It looks heaps good
For me I can be This colour
And you can add my email: gordo1229@gmail.com as my contact. Thanks

In regards to wing-smash. Awesome idea. I would attend as many of these as possible.

In regards to rock climbing. This semester at uni I am only really available to do stuff on Fridays and weekends. Therefore I won't be able to attend rockclimbing this week and most weeks I would rather devote the Friday to smash



In other news. In was able to play some Starcraft today. Played my first online ladder match and Won. Yay! Was a TvT
But then played my second and got 4 gated.

Wing Attack sounds awesome. (What spelling mistake?) I'll try to make it to any within the next few weeks.
Colour? Better go with the dark 'fox like' orange cause the nice green is taken. (just incase anyone is still under the illusion that I play fox in anything other than 64. Keep the illusion alive. Don't cancel the illusion.)

FIOD, I have a gift for you :) :) :)

I got MJG "Ensis" the IC-Slayer Hero of Time to critique a few of your sets against EA from the TL perspective:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3iW8C3QCdg YI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywFpcJjAbIs BF
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrdrc1_jgJk Frigate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4NPWMZE8gI PS1

I would like to start off and say that you have REALLY good spacing

Smashville:


0:48: Retreat with your zair 90% of the time vs ICs. If you are going to approach ICs with zair, make sure you have a bomb in your hand.

1:07: Never try to Grab ICs. If you do end up grabbing them, use up throw because the disjointed hit box will hit the other ICs.

1:23 and 1:32: Don't use arrows unless the ICs are relatively far away

2:21: If nana goes off stage, stand near the and and either throw projectiles off stage or go chase down nana (make sure sure you can still recover though).

2:52: When the bomb hit the ICs shield, I would have used a full hop nair. Its safe in the MU and you would have hit the ICs.

3:22: Lol footstool

3:39: I know you lucked out in not being hit by that F smash, but try nt to stay in your shield at all against ICs. That could have been a free grab for the ICs

3:49: If you see the ICs pursuing you, I bomb and zair away. The bomb and the spaced zair will keep you safe.

5:33: Try to limit your dair usage in this MU. Its good in certain situation but it is too laggy and it will be a free grab for the ICs.

6:00: Smart recovery

6:14: No F smash unless you predict their Squall recovery. That cost you the match.

Yoshi's Island:

There were a lot of opportunities where you could have racked on the some easiy damage (other than the classic bair strings in the beginning). When the ICs are in the air, you can pursue them with bair and nair and be safe from harm 9/10 times.

Overall, I would say you did a good job playing on this map. Playing agaisnt ICs is a little bit tricker than on the other neutrals.

1:57: Damn. I am stealing that :)

2:53: You became a little too aggressive haha but you racked on a good amount of damage before you died

3:50 (After nana died): You can choose to either run the clock or kill Popo at this point. The only issue with running the clock is that Popo will begin to try and look for patterns (I guess they were already doing this lol) and they will poke at you before they die..either that or they will just kill themselves because they realize that you are going to just continue running from them.






Battlefield

0:23: Cuttin it close with the zair and nair

0:38: Space/retreat zair. You got lucky that he didn't grab you.

:40-1:10: You are were being way too aggressive lol. Only pursue the ICs if they are in the air and if you can safely use a full hop nair.

Useful tip: Land with ibomb on the platforms, put your shield up. Once your bomb explodes, gtfo. Its 99% safe (can't say 100 because idk if thats true but I don't think ive ever been punished for it).

Frigate:

1:02:Don't use f smash so much. Its too laggy to be using in this MU.

1:47: When you are losing to ICs, you don't have to approach them. You have all the time in the world to bring it back

4:59:Watch your bomb pull. The moving platform might have thrown off your timing though.

Unfortunate ending lol

Pokemon Stadium 1: I am not surprised that the match took this long tbh. This is a time out stage imo lol.

0:24: Be careful with your CQC.

2:05: I would have did "Bomb throw to nair" at this point.

2:28: You flew so fast loooooooooool.


Overall: nice spacing, use your boomerang more when you are in the air and at a safe distance from the ICs on the ground, Zair>bomb>Full hop Nair or Bomb>Full hop Nair works wonders in this MU. Try doing that more.

Wednesday is confirmed for rock climbing.

Gords -- I will ask later tonight when mum gets home about having a meet here on Saturday. And yes, in future I will be wanting to record more for a progress update. I have already started to reconstruct my playstyle.
