[Dark Hart]

Kyle, can you upload my sets vs Smithy and Karn?

 

[bassdeluxe27]

Hey everyone. Thanks for a good tournament. For my first NC tourney, I had a great time. I'm sure I'll see most of you in Greensboro next weekend. Thanks to Ocean too for recording our match.

Also, thanks to all of the guys who showed up at 10:30 (like me) and helped me get back into it after not having played competitively for 2 years. I'm looking forward to attending more NC events.

 

[Dr Peepee]

kevin you never help me wtf

all I ask you for is a little marth advice, you say nothing, and just neutral b around the stage. wtf. is this what you want me to become?!

Stupid things happen every tournament that somehow prevents this and I just now realize how bad it is.

You're first priority next tourney. =)

Edit:

plur- yeah it is =p

bassdeluxe- Glad you could make it out dude. =) See you next weekend!

Edit again: Thanks for housing me Smith. <3

I'm dumb. I 2-0'd Alex in Winner's, totally forgot that I might have to play him again and pretty much told him how to beat me while we were at Chic-Fil-A. He played much better in LF's and I played much worse. Oh well.

I'm still loving everybody coming in here talking like they couldve got second when none of the people who posted it has ever beaten Alex or I in tourney before. Silly.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

but but but

i've beaten you both in friendlies.

Don't worry about it too much. It's the right thing to do. Even mid-match I rarely withhold things like that... if I can only beat them if they are missing a lot of information/strategy, eventually they WILL know those things, and I'll just lose then. So I figure, best for all our NC smashers' improvement as a whole to just try to get the best challenge out of each player that you can.

Like, in any set, if I keep doing something that is countering one of their options, instead of trying to sneakily do it as much as possible and get a leading edge, I tell them about it and give them more matchup knowledge, and although I can't get that free % anymore, we're both one step closer to playing the matchup at the highest level, removing some player-specific mistakes.

 

[bossa nova ♪]

i see what you're saying..


i've considered the same thing, as i'm sure others have.


but basically (beyond the most fundamental smash info) if someone can't find out why they're losing to begin with i don't think they're gonna be that good in the end.... which depresses me..... so then i go back to not caring.


well, idk i guess people could change their mentalities if that's what's keeping them from understanding why they lose and improving. that brings me happiness

 

[Dark Hart]

I think everyone should to that after a set, especially HBox and Mango

 

[lord karn]

Well, I've always known I have to stay on platforms vs. falco. The main thing is it requires reacting to what falco does and where he is, and if you mess up he gets a free hit. And Josh is really good at comboing, so I was afraid to do this. Because I suck at reacting, I just tried to space full hopped nairs. When I played josh in winners I didn't platform camp enough and josh got lots of hits from cc shine, which is what beats spacing full hopped nairs with fox. So then I decided I would have to stack it up and platform camp without messing up. That and Josh I think was kind of shocked because I was playing so much better helped me win.

Also, I don't tell people mid match, but I always try to tell people what they did wrong after a set if I remember. Adapting mid-match is a skill that extends beyond just matchup knowledge, and I don't want to help my opponent in that regard. But afterwards I try to teach people matchups and general strategies a lot. SOMETHING PP DOESN"T DO! jk jk but seriously

 

[Dr Peepee]

I still <3 you karn even if I am a jerk.

 

[DtJ SmithZzz]

Dang I should of come to this. I think I could of gotten 2nd. I went to a street fighter thing at gamefrog for lulz with my friend. I got stomped on by old people. (yeah man I was young at this shiz SF players are old).

Post bracket?

lLMFAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Lightsyde]

I pretty agree with Alex's synopsis of our matches. It was a good learning experience for me and Alex beat me flat out so great **** to him.

[SK919]

I like your avatar smith <3

 

[DtJ SmithZzz]

Yeah I do too bby.
Thanks. ;D

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

Watching Smith's matches.

Wow, you camp REALLY well.

I love it.

You're so much better than me with Ylink.

Still, i feel like arrows are useless

You're better then meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I did really dumb things that match, I didn't follow up anything in fear of getting Marth'd.

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

LOL if anything, I'm better at the Ylink ditto but i think you're better overall with the little guy

 

[Dark Hart]

Smith camps soooooo well, and that bomb -> dair combo ***** me.

 

[Ocean]

[deleted.]

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

You should Boomerang -> Nair and Hard Rang -> UAir MArth too.

 

[Juno McGrath]

**** marth dude.

 

[DtJ SmithZzz]

I like to nair Hard Rang to Fire spike, or just Dair more.

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

On a slightly related note, who is ZOTR? Some weird hybrid combination of LoZR and TLOZ?

 

[Juno McGrath]

Zotr is a man. A man among men.

Who gives almost as good hugs as you Chris

:D

I loveeee zotr.

 

[DtJ SmithZzz]

So we should make a results thread imo.

 

[Ocean]

this wasn't big enough to warrant a results thread really.

also, uploading is almost done.

1:20-1:30
I screamed in ecstacy. Link is too good.


1:48
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA WHO THE **** GETS A READ LIKE THAT.
what the ****. OH MY GOD. OH **** ME. I'm crying.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Where dem giga vids?

 

[Ocean]

there was atleast an hour of giga bowser footage. I am not going to separate, render, and upload each match separately. I'm going to compile a sort-of combo video from it, but that takes time since I have to sort through the footage.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Noooooo =(

Is there any way you can separate my Falco vs Giga and put it on megaupload or rapidshare or something for me?

If not I guess it's okay.....
