Official Washington Melee thread

[omgwtfToph]

you use the dolphin emulator and play it on the PC. i guess there's like, a netplay client or something, and you just need a melee ISO on your computer to do it

 

[Paff]

Guys, I've got some serious business here:

1. "Popo" is Swahili for "bat" (the animal).
2. If Peach whiffs a downsmash, is there enough time for a guaranteed Falcon Punch punish?

 

[KAOSTAR]

definitely not for the down smash punish. In fact there is a good chance u will just get sidestepped downsmashed.

 

[PandaMageMaltDrinka]

don't listen to kline he's crazy, do your stuff paff

 

[Smile]

I actually prefer fighting Falco to Fox as Falcon.

Fox is irritating as ****.

[omgwtfToph]

yooo

question to you guys (especially otto and ciz), just curious. how many times a week do you usually smash? and do you think there is like, a minimum (or maximum) amount that you "have" to play in order to get better?

or conversely, do you think taking long breaks is beneficial

etc etc

 

[C!Z]

Otto and I play probably play 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes more(depending on ride situations). I personally think playin often keeps you on point, especially with tech skill. I also feel breaks are beneficial, idk what you mean by "long" though. Time to reflect never hurts if you feel like you're not goin anywhere. I really think people need to watch themselves more if they're striving to improve.

 

[KAOSTAR]

the long breaks are for your hands. those are like a week or two. if u play hells or put in alot of tech work u heat/ice your hands if they are sore.

imo short breaks help rid u of bad habits

 

[MasterC]

yea i don't think "long" breaks would ever b good for your play lol then again i'm not that good and i don't take long breaks nor do i know what you mean by "long" but that's just my advice

i'd play/record/watch everyday if i could, melee's mad tight lol

 

[omgwtfToph]

ah by long breaks I meant like, 2-3 weeks to a month i guess lol

and yeah i'd play all the time if i could LOL but sometimes i have to go way out of my way to play melee or i don't get to play at all, and sometimes i don't feel like it haha. then i worry about like, hmm maybe i'm not playing enough

 

[PandaMageMaltDrinka]

i'd say 2 to 3 times a week is fine / funny how like i'd say the mid tier players like skillwise ranging from below UW and above i'd say ( no offense ) southerners worse than me, it seems freakin hard to rise up out of that skill range and into i'd say the top 5 at least, because anyone at my skill level of play if there on point, its sad to say but your really only breaking like from 10th on PR to like 8th on a good day, just seems like a lot of work to get into the top 6-4 then u got the top 3 who've never really been beaten since the falling out of skypal or sastopher days / screw u BW screw u eggz screw u SW for ****** for so many years haha good stuff

 

[numberonenacho]

Since I took a 3 week - 1 month break, I'll throw in my input.
I felt like when I came back I definitely was more conscious of my gameplay, if I've been playing a lot I tend to autopilot so some time away from the game gave me some perspective.

Not to mention I did watch a fair amount of videos while not playing and felt like that sunk in more when I didn't play. I feel like when you watch vids while not playing you tend to forgot your playstyle and play more like the people you're watching when you do play again. (alteast a little bit). You forget a bit of your muscle memory and more open to new stuff.

I think a 3 weeks to a month is a good break because you don't really forget much about the game and the only thing you may have to regain is a bit of tech skill if that.

 

[MasterC]

lol straight up i see vish/ciz/syler play those top 3 and i just dunno if they'll ever be beaten by a native washingtonian LOL never seen you get at em anthony but (no offense) idk dawg haha

i'll take a break after genesis xD you guys already cop tickets?

yo, you HAVE to stop jumping into **** vish, i think its really bringing you down. you do it literally every time you hit. it goes like this. i knock you away, i run towards u, you jump and i hit. or teddy uthrows and waits for it and u get hit. teddy said u do it every time to. its so bad to be off stage without a jump with falcon. if your playing vs anyone good theyll kill you 90% of the time

 

[omgwtfToph]

lol oh **** this ***** jumpin

 

[PandaMageMaltDrinka]

@master c - i hear ya

and also that i play with syler pretty frequently, kinda my mentor, when it comes to like playing vish / c!z, i'm pretty sure i'd get wrecked, and sylers tryin to get back to where he was, actually get back into his prime

 

[Sk8nMasta]

yo im fron kennewick wa (tri cities wa 250 miles from seattle)
i wanna play somone!! iv never met somone better than me so comon guys beat me already!! will do money matches and drive to you thats how much i want somone to whomp me

 

[KAOSTAR]

Vish, You should have a smash session with Teddy. He will break you of that habit pretty quickly. Pretty much becuase everytime you do it he will laugh at you and tell you not to jump.

Jumping out of **** works sometimes but not when it becomes a habit.

Lets play soon the ^_^


Otto/vish/c!Z Ill have recording equipment at Pound 5 so if u do any mms or something and want them recorded or whatever Ill have my lap top and **** with me.
