I remember that time Teczero won our crew battle for us.

Man, what a time.
I remember the time where I didn't friendly Cort at pound.

I was sad :(.

Man if only I know that another pound 3 would come up where I could break my glasses have them attached to my head by tape so I could play the rest of my matches.

I wish I played you more Cort I only played you that one time at NYC now when I go there I'll probably play brawl at NYC and I am beyond terrible in brawl :(.

Brawl is easy though, just spam a projectile and use your shield, then when someone is dumb enough to attack it drop your shield and **** them.

LMFAOOO

Yea but... its so boring....... ..... .... :(

And by **** I'm assuming a 2 hit combo that moves them far enough where you can spam your projectile some more and use your shield some more.

Well in actuality I usually take like 1-3 minutes a stock.

I have no idea who I wanna play though >_> I just cycle between bad characters like Lucas, Lucario , and occasionally jigglypuff LOL.

Then I play marth sometimes.... I think he is good..

O_O Did you really ever take 4 minutes a stock? When I take over 2 minutes to take a stock I feel like the game is gonna go to the time limit.

I think, in my entire Smash career, I've only gone to the 8 minute limit... twice.

It hasn't happened in Brawl yet, surprisingly.

Indeed very surprising >_>.

I don't ever recall hitting even a 7 minute time limit.

I played pretty aggressive so I guess those type of things shouldn't happen often anyway.

In brawl I hit the 6 minute time limit a couple times because I had no idea how to KO with lucario.

I think Brawl should be 3 stock/7 mins because 3 stock/6 implies it's just as fast as Melee.

Which is definitely not true LOL x_x

Missiles shouldn't be too much of a problem cuz you can float over them right??? >_>

Why not just space float cancel f-airs?

Anyway I dunno that much peach stuff >_<.

Cort is awesome :)

He plays peach and is an amazing player LOL.

lol@ "that dress swirly thing" xDD
oh you mean that low%-atack ?! XD

I got a question about Peach vs. Falco on Random Stages to get the first Match of a Torunament Set
(random Stages on german Torunaments - YS, DL64, Final, Stadium, FoD)

So on Final Destination, I float above SHL tange and try to attack with some L-canceled or Float Canceled stuff, like NAir/FAir -> TapA -> Grab -> UpThrow -> Chaingrabmissing (^^ I'm not proud of that ^^) and then Techchasing.

But on other Stages I don't know what to do, like on Stadium he can SHL on ground AND on the Platforms and he can change that very fast, so how to approach on platform Stages ?
(especially the Random Stages) .

Thank u, whoever answers ^^

learn to powersheild and get in his face

YS and FoD should be a lot easier
YS is easily the WORST stage to play against a good falco. 3/4 of your deaths will be shine to shine combo, and than your dead off the top. Cheapest kill ever...

Edit: Check out my 1st and 2nd deaths. Pay attention to my percent, and where I am when the first shine hits. Also you will notice that he almost kills me a third time on my last stock with the shine to shine combo, but he messes up and misses it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-rwq70N47qg


FoD is a great stage on the other hand.


oh, I have a question: With no DI, what % can fox/falco escape your chaingrab? I've always stopped around like 110%, but I never really knew.

I started maining peach now. I still play fox, but only as a counter pick, and only in tourney.

Eggm is one of the few Falcos that actually do it, because most falcos just aren't very good, especially at that matchup. It happens to me at least once a match on YS. Hes pretty nuts.

And its not just the shine to shine combo. Shine to upair is a pretty common way to kill peach, and it kills easiest on this stage. And peach simply doesn't live very long on YS which is another reason I dislike it. I really don't see any reason to like the stage really...

Milkieee, its fine if you think you have a better peach. I only started playing peach recently. I think its hard to base my peach off that one match though, considering how good an opponent I am playing. Anyway, I'm still learning a lot about peach, but I plan to get very good with her.

Thanks for the info magus. We should play again soon...

I'll take a potato chip....and eat it!!!
JFox....I know where you're coming from...the first TRUE Falco I played was Reik....I compared ALL Falcos to him. Eggm and Reik are just amazing at comboing the heck out of Peach because Peach is their weakness, and with VaNz helping....yeah....it only gets worse for Peach. Falcos like that...need to be Dsmashed, lol. Also....the DI is SUPER weird for getting out of it. That killing blow CAN be avoided...I've done it countless times.


As far as YS....it's an awesome stage for Peach....with her crappy KO range, the KO's come a bit easier, and if you can DI like crazy with her, you can avoid quick deaths. The closest I've ever come to beating Reik was on YS. I just have to watch out for SD's. The best match I had against Copycat? YS....I killed myself twice....Copycat's Shiek was going down. Best (not that I played him more than one set) match against Cactuar? YS. Now my best against Eggm was Poke'floats, lol. That's a WHOLE other story. It's awesome for Peach, though.

Oh and JFox? Your Peach will be too good in no time, bro. Probably MUCH quicker than mine, because you can play people. Watch out for Tec0 though.....he's Gimpy and he KO'ed me at 16%!!!! No Johns, though, Tec is just too good.

There's a big difference between occasionally having an easy time vs Falco/Marth/Sheik on YS and consistently doing well vs them.

other than upsmashing through the lower platforms... i agree that YS is bad for peach... really bad...
but every time i play there, it's against marth so... it might not be as bad as i think... no it is...

hum .. against marth I nearly only spotdoge his FAir/BAir .. ahm .. any aerial atack of him^^ and his Fsmash -> Downsmash, or grab, or dash to NAir .. but Marth is a very hard matchup though ^^
on YS u have a chance against marth with an easier edgeguard with WD to the ledge and while getting little off stage, but befor grabing the ledge droping a turnip and than grab the ledge, so that egdeguard is on ys most useful, because of that straight ledge I think

I like to run near them and use the yellow nubbin thingy. Or float at them with my butt. Both are fun and leave me feeling satisfied.

The secret to beating Marth with Peach is to play bad Marths.

no matter what kinda marth u play against, I think spotdodging->lag-punishing is the key for winning against that ****-counter, correct me if I'm wrong

Against mediocre marth players yes, rolling and spot dodging works often. But high level marth players predict these easily and counter, thus you also have to be intelligent in using these as well.
