Im getting banned for no particular reason now. I dont understand it. I PM'd a Sandwich about it. Hopefully that *** gets back to me. Seriously, they seem to be abusing their powers as all little people with a mediocre amount of power have done. If I keep getting banned, these boards are going to face the wrath of 50 accounts spamming the boards for quite a while. I have more than enough time on my hands. Ship it!

teams = throws moves

come on we all know this LOL.

Someone who excels in teams usually isn't as good in singles.. idk why this is but it just happens to be that way.

Look at isai that dude is the realist in teams but he is ughz in singles lately or when he last was playing. DO NOT PLACE JOHNS FOR HIM if he sandbags in tourney well thats his own fault and playing bad in tourney is a good thing to judge skill based on that.

Right, Doubles is all about throwing moves, because it's been proven that performing combos and KO'ing your teammates is how you succeed. SINGLES, is throwing moves, you don't have to worry about hitting a partner. It's just the air, and your opponent.

Isai was the best in doubles because he was the smartest player, it's simple. He got beat in singles because people became more technical than him, and threw moves.

oh and yeah people that are really good in doubles arent good in singles, ummm Mango? M2K? DARKRAIN?! you're just throwing words

:chuckle:Your too serious in the mornings dude lol. i was joking about throwing moves.

Isai might have been the smartest in teams but no way in singles. the dude was good in singles no doubt and had some pretty disgusting **** but lets face it there are people now that play falcon and place better than he did (darkrain, THE APPRENTICE SILENTSPECTRE?!).

mango and m2k are THE top players so thats expected of them.

M2k and isai at fcd got beat by Xelic and caveman... yeah they are good i know but come on, not m2k/isai good. they dont perform well at all in singles anymore or really even then to compare with isai. what about KeepSpeedn and viperboy?! viperboy is a midwest player..nuff said. ksn is good but he always fell short in singles.

There are some teams out there that simply have better teamwork than others, even better than the top players who have the best spacing/tech skill who have the experience.

thats what i have to support some of my points. don't get mad echo:chuckle:

Who's mad? Trust me, if I were upset I would have wrote a book. I'm simply debating the topic. I don't understand why any 2 people in this thread can't disagree on anything?? besides I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying. You started a post saying you were joking, but then ended it by saying you're trying to support your points. Where do you stand on the doubles thing again?

its not that 2 people can't disagree on a topic, its the way you put it in words when read through the net. Its just my interpretation.

I told you i was joking about throwing moves, not anything else.

My points i supported were that even amoung the top players THERE are players who team together who don't place as high as the top for example ksn and viperboy were an amazing team, they beat pc chris and m2k i believe at pound 2 and won the tourney. they beat the top two players at that time. Xelic and caveman also beat m2k and isai even on their cp pokefloats which isai is a god at that stage. Once again, one of the best teams with two players who are not top 16 material against 2 players who were. **** even qdvs and rockcrock aren't amazing in singles at all, and they beat darkrain and wife who were an excellent team.

That supports my point in saying some people simply do better at the teamwork thing than singles.

One thing i will say though is that mindgames are much deeper and more important in singles than doubles. too much is going on in teams for mindgames to really influence the match significantly.

Yeah that makes sense, sarcasms hard to catch. Can you believe we're trying to make an actual smash related discussion in the Nebraska thread this is crazy...

anyway I don't remember what happened in Pound 2, but are you sure you aren't thinking of INNV? KSN and Viperboy beat Dark and Forward... unless they won both of those tourneys. For INNV, Dark and Forward just plain didn't team as well as they probably hoped, and I'll admit KSN and Viperboy was pretty random. But if you think about it, the character match is perfect for them, KSN to Shiz, and Viperboy to Tink, and they're both players that have performed better in doubles than they have in singles. You also have to consider that Fox/Falco is probably the best possible team for doubles, its hard to beat. Fox/Fox could be better tho :/

About Darkrain in doubles, I would think that he can't always do the best in doubles because he's always with a different person. I mean he's always done well with Dmac, but then he'll go off and team with Wife or Dope or someone else, and he still does very well simply on the skill of the 2 players. But as a Falcon player that dude is soooo good about not nailing his partner with moves, and he hits solid knees out of his partners moves. Though he doesn't get the chance to win the doubles tournies, he obviously knows the tactics required of playing in doubles, which means it is tactical.

I wouldn't necessarily say that mindgames are less important in doubles, though. I read people all the time in doubles, sitting behind my partner waiting for someone to try to roll past, or run like I'm going to help my partner out to get the dude chasing me to be where I want him. I think it's all still as important, you just can't have only 1 person doing it, you have to do it as a team. Problem is nobody here wants to play doubles, and nobody has a steady partner anymore. Which makes for fun games here, but makes us weak when we go to a tournament.

Alright now that I just killed some boredom time I gotta run to Lincoln. If I can get back in time I'll try to get over to the tourney and just play games or whatever.

One quick point I will agree with though, on the KSN/Viperboy thing. I think that its very possible for a team to win by simply throwing moves out, as a tactic. It's just like how a Falco can win in singles, they can do it in doubles, too. That's just smash I guess =/ lol

******* *** ****** *** *** ********** ********!!! !! !!!!! BRAWL!

the absolute most overrated thing on the face on this god forsaken earth
and the worst part is you can't start a thread on this place for brawl vs melee because " it makes the mods work too hard" :'(
obviously if people are passionate enough about it there is a reason
it's like watching people line up to become Nazi's and having someone tell you not to tell them anything because your "just questioning their beliefs"
it's a problem they just allowed to happen ............... i hates brawls
