@JFox: Gears are in motion, but I have no one good to practice against. My progress is stagnant.



This has been discussed heavily. I don't sandbag. I often just don't care about placing in tournament, so I play very aggressive and choose to ignore better options. People who beat me playing like that still get a lot of respect from me. I don't make excuses about losing unless I'm sick or something.

Friendlies is a different story. I scale how hard I'm playing so that my opponent actually learns from playing me. People don't learn as well when it's completely one sided.

uhh, right now, yeah. Not only would he be rusty as hell, but I know the marth matchup well enough that I think I could take him in his current state.

Come to pound 4, ken. We'll see what's up. PROVE ME WRONG

Because I like putting myself out there as a challenge to other people. I hated it when other top players stopped playing because it meant that challenge wasn't there for me anymore. I want to give players the chance to beat me, even if its not me playing super serious.

Too good!


So, i have to talk to new england figure out exactly how were getting here, etc. But super pumped for this. Going to try to get my hands on a good camera to record some footage for a promotional video i want to get made (if thats cool plank)

I can also provide live stream / recording equipment / take care of a live stream if you allow it, unsure whether i will actually enter events or not.

I'm going to try to make it out of the first round of pools at this tournament. I've learned how to actually combo now OMG.

Edit: Can the brawl+ info be added into the first post?

For anyone who hasn't played Cactuar and has preconceived notions of any supposed douchebaggery on his part, this is mad accurate. What a swell guy :)

For the sake of Smash doing well, I hope there's good international rep for Brawl [though there really aren't as many people at the "pro" level given it's such a new game still so I don't imagine there would be too many people interested in the trip...relative to Melee I mean]

Also @ Plank - bout to send you a PM...serious talk here :)

it's deff not sped up, but every now and then it gets jumpy and speeds up for a moment (it's obvious)

i can do the same fox stuff, that's definitely how fast it is.

btw awesome entertaining players, i love flashy foxes. =D

Great technical fox. I have to agree and say it looks sped up. The first 30 seconds of the first video...just a tiny bit faster than what seems normal.

Where are these players from?

Just another day.
I want to go to this, but I don't know if I'll be able to make reservations until possibly mid November (at the latest). I don't want to get shut out from pre-registration :(

That fox is absurdly technical And in a good way not useless stuff like silent wolf does(wall kick laser regrabs off the wall and stuff...). ;p I"m jealous.

If anything he does more useless stuff. Uthrow shine (whiff) uair? He's mad technical, but I don't think its going to translate into being legit in tourny. Still cool to watch though.
