I have important things? Blasphemy! And on the topic of Derek...

I think my Marth CPU took some notes off of him ;-; Or the other way around.

In any event, I'm trying to figure out how to punish any of Marth's moves, and very few seem punishable.

I need to figure out how to defeat this beast!

 

[infomon]

Yeah, I also can't figure out Marth. Retreating Fairs make me cry

...and dancing blade >.<

 

[joblin]

I just wish I had more time or any time at that matter to practice.

 

[CHAOSvsORDER]

Retreating fairs are beaten easily! Just back off.




But then the forward fairs become a problem.

 

[flash7]

just shield grab forward fairs.

I believe you can shield grab db if you block it. If you are hit by db then DI the hits, if the last db is the multi hit green one then DI up and into Marth youll be behind him which will give you time to punish while hes slashing.

 

[Linkshot]

I was just checking my Brawl records.

Lucario has KO'd Sonic the most. Awesome :D Infzy, you have to come and avenge him sometime! (Although around half it is from you ) 34 KOs (534 Grand Total)

Sonic has 14 on Lucario, but has KO'd Ganondorf the most with 18. (213 Grand Total)

G&W leads because of FFAs I did with him, luls. Marth is second D: I'm scared. (642 and 626)

Hmmmm, I'ma have to sit down and study how DB works, I guess. I hadn't really thought to, Iunno why lol. I always tried to SDI away, which means I get owned since Marth's walking forward with it. Getting behind him (for green at least) sounds like a plan. I always just instinctively mash shield-grab when I get stuck in DB in case he stops, lol.

me = n00b

My analysis on the Martha's of Ottawa:

Derek's Martha is weird, it rushes down people with a barrage of attacks

Orlando's Martha is more passive aggresive

Moses Martha is pure mindgames.

Ken's Martha relies on Items too much

M2K's Martha got dumped for Meta Knight, and now she is eating chocloates somewhere in her bedroom.

 

[buenob]

someone tell me where to be tomorrow, I'm there

 

[IvanEva]

Ken's Martha relies on Items too much

Ken? He didn't know how to use items. Throw items into the mix and he's nothing.

Case in point: there was a party ball full of food in Survivor but Ken was too scared to open it. Little did he know that he could have just picked it up and thrown it without fear of it exploding on him. The result: http://wwwimage.cbs.com/cms/files/gallerix/albums/26/22185/full/97232_D18760.jpg Yeah! Go ribcage!

 

[flash7]

Ken might end up making it pretty far. But id still like to see Sugar take it for the epic lulz.

 

[joblin]

What I find hilarious is if you guys spent half as much time as you do figuring out Marth, DIs, DBs, etc. and put it towards something else you could probably bank a hefty amount of productive time getting money instead of trying to win it in tourneys. That or cure some kind of disease with your mind.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, if Sugar wins, that'll be hilarious, especially since Ken mind-gamed the hell out of her and a certain Ace-hole last week.


But yeah, I keep forgetting there's a good deal of Martha's around.

Well, the difference is that games are a sort of transaction. The more the learn about things, the more we enjoy it. Real life productive things are harder in that the reward usually only comes in at the end, making it very difficult to keep it up.

 

[arsenic41]

OR we can screw this serious convo and start practicing some smash! I'm up for something today, anyone else?

 

[flash7]

Ill probably be down, how many people can you fit in your dorm room? .

There isnt much to figure out, just read up on your char, watch some vids and apply what you think works, and then read your opponent.

 

[arsenic41]

I was thnking someone else hosts something, my dorm room is smal enough to barely fit 3 people (including me) plus, I has no wii or TV

 

[flash7]

I know, was just joking.

 

[Linkshot]

I would love to host something, but I have Loud Wii johns that will become yours.

I think 4 or 5 people can fit (3 on the bed, 1 behind, 1 on the floor). People would have to leave by 10 PM though...this is all hypothetical.

I can't have people over today. My mom is self-conscious about the abilities of the apartment, and how it looks.

 

[joblin]

I would host but I have work to do, stupid work!

 

[infomon]

I can host stuff later in November, like after the 11th my mom is away. Lots of space, multiple TVs. But this doesn't help ppl get practice for Nigagara

 

[Suo]

Can't host this Thursday/week guys. I've been really busy with work, 7-11 is actually really great btw, and some girl troubles. I'm sure I'll miss you guys by next week tho

 

[arsenic41]

Speaking of 7-11, when do you get off work?

and girl troubles=ghey

 

[flash7]

Ill be attending tomorrow's smashfest Ill try to be there for 5/6. Looks like this tourney is gonna have lots of good competition. Also any word on the van/car yet?

 

[IvanEva]

Ben, Andrew and the PND crew: Any chance of you guys coming over tomorrow? If we're all here it would be easier to organize things (as well as practice it up). Call if you can make it (613-829-6076).

 

[PND]

I in all likelihood can't. I've got to attend an ADD seminar / group meeting thing.

It sucks, I can't actually get any human practice before the tourney. I'm going in hella rusty. Actually, ever since the semester started I haven't really had enough human practice and I think I'm getting worse. (

BUT
OBAMA WINS!

 

[arsenic41]

Obama just 3 stocked McCain in a presidential money match.

 

[Retlaf]

I accidentally the smashfest tomorrow.

 

[infomon]

Obama just 3 stocked McCain in a presidential money match.

LOL too true

I accidentally the smashfest tomorrow.

Where is this meme from? I've only seen it on reddit :o

 

[LivewiresXe]

Ouch, that sucks Mike. The thought of our usual thing possibly being your only human practice before the tourney would blow really, but sometimes things can't be helped, y'know?

 

[arsenic41]

I think Rick Astley is a pretty cool guy, eh never gonna give you up and he doesn't affraid of anything.

speaking of which:

I accidentally all over my laptop

 

[buenob]

harold I'm in, i suck with remembering to phone people but i'll call before i leave... any suggestions on time?

 

[buenob]

ps.

I accidentally for Obama

http://i33.tinypic.com/zx6yi8.jpg

 

[Linkshot]

Yeah, I saw that XD Epic

50000

I need practice x.x I think my Lucario is getting rusty.

Harold, is there still room for me to come over? I'm sick and tired of Level 3 CPUs since there is no progress nor joy in it.

 

[flash7]

You know its possible to over practice right? If you are going to practice by yourself you should focus on 3 things although its best not to do them all at once. Get one down and then try the next one. First is DI since its probably the easiest. Let the cpu hit you and just practice getting into the habit of DIing properly. Second one is focusing on your opponent, you shouldnt be watching/looking at your character during a match since you should pretty much know where your character is at all times. Obviously at times you need to look at where you such as when you are recovering and you wanna make sure you hit the ledge. Third is spacing. Practice one till you can confidently do it not only against a comp but also against a realy player specifically in a tourney match. Theres a few threads out there that describe these principles in more detail but thats the jist of it.

That combo breaker pic is epic, I so wanna make that a t-shirt .

I might show up a bit later to the HaroldFest, might be 7ish. There are extra controllers there right? I forgot my controller at home.

 

[Linkshot]

****! My finger just slipped, hit previous thread, and I lost my whole post v.v

Anyway, DI is bull****. You can shield in the time it takes to DI. DI'ing is just taking the hit like an idiot and making sure you survive instead of blocking the hit. Besides, there's no time to DI. You get hit, and it's already too late. It's just...*Marth fSmash* Next .1 second: you're hit, DI has already been calculated. Not enough time to react.

My nerves are shot, and I can't take this anymore. I'm just not good enough for competitive play. Marth is broken and I can't do anything about it. I found one way to approach, but it's stupid and won't work consistently.

Right now I'm deciding on whether spending $5 every other week is worth playing once a week, especially if I just get knocked out after 4 matches because I can't practice or think properly.

 

[flash7]

You are obviously not supposed to get hit but in the event that you do, DI is there to help you. You cant always block the hit anyways so you cant expect to shield everything, dismissing DI is a bad idea. Yes there is time to DI much more so than in Melee where I find it much harder to DI properly. DI also takes affect when you are getting hit, so tipper by Marth which causes you to freeze for a bit gives you ample time to DI(move the control stick).

 

[infomon]

Linkshot, take a break, yo.

I used to think that wavedashing was stupidly impossible, like what you're saying about DI..... Marth's Fsmash has hitlag that gives you time to input DI, like just smash-DI and hold it as you start hit-stun..... I'm still getting used to DI'ing properly tho, it's friggin hard but you'll get it eventually.

Maybe you should take up MK? lol :3

 

[Linkshot]

Eh...I just had a breakdown, that's all x.x Anyway, I'll apply a trick I thought of next time I fight Marth.

And I was talking about untippered. NO lag at all.

Marth is definitely NOT op. He's just fast. I find the most important thing is to space properly. Go to training mode and see how close you need to be in order to hit him with w/e attacks.

Also, give the game a short break.
