[Pandaxen]

I guess switching up sounds better than my initial idea.

 

[Tee ay eye]

yeah, it's fine

too bad no one in phoenix hosts anything anymore

even though phoenix is much better than tucson as a place, tucson has a bigger (and better below the top handful) community

 

[Pandaxen]

My only problem with Tucson is that distance, son.

 

[Tee ay eye]

either way, someone has to drive the distance lol

 

[Pandaxen]

Yeah, true. =/
But I've never been to a tourney, so my mother doesn't approve.
Plus, I can never find a ride.

 

[Tee ay eye]

yeah sux

ease your way into it

go to a smashfest and tell her to come in and meet the people

then ask to go to a tournament (maybe she can go in to check it out)

then if there's a relatively nearby smashfest/tournament you can't get a ride to with your mom, get a ride with a smasher. repeat until she gets used to it.

next step: going long-distance; figure it out yourself.

pretty much what i did

 

[Jane]

even though phoenix is much better than tucson as a place

 

[Pandaxen]

Well, thanks Tai.
Sounds like a legit formula.
She don't drive though, son. >.<

 

[AXE 09]

hey guys, uhhh....

i love melee

 

[Pandaxen]

Omg No Way :o

 

[Pandaxen]

Melee gets boring pretty fast when you're alone.

 

[Tee ay eye]

dont mindlessly play melee vs CPUs when you're alone for more than like, ten minutes. you'll get used to them and it'll result in bad habits

however, if you're alone and wanna practice something, just do it without really playing AGAINST a computer. for example, put a lvl 1 Bowser with 0.5 damage ratio and max handicaps if you wanna practice timing shield pressure (or any sort of timing that involves HITTING someone).

if you wanna practice spacing your dashdance, go to Pokemon Stadium in training mode and use the markings on the ground (patented by forward)

 

[Pandaxen]

No, I don't have any, but I know what kind of habits you're talking about.
I normally just train in a real game instead of practice mode.
I'm just more comfortable with it.
Plus, I get to use the C-Stick.

 

[Tee ay eye]

C-stick *****

note that i said use training mode for spacing your dashdance (i.e. running around with the control stick)

p.s. chances are you have bad habits you're not aware of unless your name is mango. hell, even if you are.

 

[Pandaxen]

I know what dashdance is.
I do it all the time whenever someone fails a tech.
I also mix it in with wavedashing to seem a lot more slippery.

 

[DualCats]

I remember back in the day

Spoiler

two months ago

when I never used c-stick. Now I'm terrible at melee, but slightly less terrible.

 

[Duff0]

He'll learn...

 

[Pandaxen]

Melee is cool.

 

[Tee ay eye]

*shrug*
just play with people and learn i guess

 

[Pandaxen]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
I am not a scrub/ noob/ or whatever.
I'm actually pretty adept/ advanced at this game.

 

[Tee ay eye]

mm me

my 2 stocks to your 4

(p.s. i heard you played with dualcats, so i have a very very very rough standpoint of how good you are)

 

[Pandaxen]

Do you think I don't have tech skill?
But okay, your 2 to my 4.

 

[Tee ay eye]

10 bucks?

when's your spring break? we may be able to make the trip down there sometime i guess

 

[Pandaxen]

I'm on spring break right now. >.<
10 bucks....? 5? I need teh lunch money.

Yeah, Karl and I played Melee.
So what's your standpoint on my skill level?

So what's your standpoint on my skill level?

that you know advanced techniques and can pull them off with acceptable proficiency, but you're very inexperienced, so you're still somewhere under Karl (DualCats), but you're not atrocious (i.e. clueless), but you just have a lot to learn.

 

[Pandaxen]

Nah nah.
I'm down.
It's just 5 bucks.
I prefer experience over monetary items anyway.

 

[Tee ay eye]

that's a good attitude

im not trying to be a jerk (generally), it's just that nobody starts at the top, or even at the middle.

 

[Duff0]

And the mindset adjustments often come with experience

 

[Pandaxen]

Yep.
Everybody starts somewhere right?

 

[Tee ay eye]

i was probably in arizona's bottom three for about nine months

 

[Pandaxen]

Meh, time goes by FAST when you get into melee.
I mean, it's kinda hard to believe that I started just 3 months ago.

 

[Pandaxen]

For the record, I can get kinda combo happy.

 

[Jane]

Pandaxen, mm me! Im the worst (i prefer the term "least pro") melee player in tucson. That way we'll have a rough idea of how good you are. 5 bucks mm me instead of tai? That way you actually have a chance to win! :D?

 

[Pandaxen]

I'll mm you Jane.
I'm home all day, everyday.

 

[jetfour]

Goop if you read this let's MM again with the same rules. This time won't use the characters from last time :D

 

[Pandaxen]

so many mm's. :O

 

[Jane]

Alright, next phoenix tourney, its going down~

 

[Pandaxen]

No, YOU'RE going down!
Sorry. :/

 

[TommyDerMeister]

I play Peach.. in Melee. >.<

...christ.... I might have to retract that statement I made two weeks ago about liking you for playing melee.

They're all to easy to be good with. Peach takes some SKILL.

Peach takes no skill. All she does is "herpaderp float cancel aerial", dsmash, and throw some turnips. All of which can be done by miles.

She's the most fun a guy/girl can have without being illegal! Every other character is pewpy compared to her

peach is not fun.

60% of your posts are worshipping Peach and 20% are for Armada.

True Story.

 

[Taj278]

Did someone say, money match?

Pandaxen, you wanna money match me too? ;D
