*Pound* 4:: VGBootCamp Debut! Two days. Plank's sanity remaining: 50%

[lord karn]

this reminds me Ajax and Dookdigity FREAKING out when they saw Fireflies for the first time when they came to MD for Critical Hit 3.
"WHAT THE **** THOSE THINGS ARE REAL? I thought they were only in Harry Potter or some ****!"

No lie.

I hope it snows at some point for you =D

Oh snap, I remember that. Hilarious.

 

[toasty]

yeah dude...

epic weekend was epic.

thanks JCaesar for living on a farm and housing us then =D

 

[Isatis]

Sadly we haven't had much snow in MD for the past few years.....but if we do its usually in Jan-Feb

Most of it is in February luckily. Last few years it's just been rain in January.

 

[tw1n]

I'm surprised you took my obvious sarcasm seriously and I know what POUND is about LOL I was at Genesis, I know what's more epic.

Hahahaha. Nice song selection! MC Hammer had to be the best one on there tho =] Combo vid for M2K!!! WOOOHHH!!!

As for the Ballon incident....tell me I'm not the only one that pounded his fist while on the ground laughing at his name being Falcon. I'll be saying "Show me your Balloons!" for the next few years now.

It is a prophecy! There can be only one HIGHLANDER!!! Or else the kid will play Halo and never know what he has missed out on...

hey, i need some advice, if i'm interested in the competitive scene of smash but have never attended a tournament before, would this be a good place to start? or would i be waaaay over my head? i go to school in va so its right around my area

It would probably be best if you started before this, but if this were your first tourney I suggest getting a spectator pass and just doing a ****load of friendlies/make friends with smashers and get advice.

I second this. Don't focus on winning but on learning and growth.

 

[Dobs1007]

I so looking forward to magic at this and Just the pure awesomeness this tourney will be.

check your PM, I sent you something


I can't wait to see a sea of True Gamer shirts all over this place...

I would never suggest skipping a tourney in lieu of playing friendlies. You don't get nearly the practice or experience, because 1.) friendlies mean nothing and 2.) you dont get to feel the real pressure and thrill of playing a tournament set.

You never really know where you stack up til tourney and when the time comes around if you dont enter I guarantee everyone who thinks "oh ill just buy a spectator pass" is going to be extremely disappointed

Don't you he needs at least a little ground work first?

The tourney experience is great though.

 

[pockyD]

as long as you don't have any major expectations going in (such that you'll be severely disappointed with getting last place) and have a positive attitude towards the game as a whole, entering the tournament is infinitely better than not doing so

This.

Wow. I agreed with pockyD!

<3

 

[SwiftBass]

yeah if you fear wasting money or feel like the friendlies will be an equivalent then you really do not want to "play" this game.


*dead horse begs for mercy*

 

[The Irish Mafia]

Enter

Just do it

 

[g-regulate]

if you enter, you have a much better chance at playing the great and legendary g-regulate

 

[noodles]

I usually would rather play friendlies.

 

[toasty]

And that's why you're only better than P.O.F.

>_>

I like fighting G-reg in tourney. He lets you do awesome stuff like land yoyo glitches on him and then he plays it off like he didn't see it coming.......................or does he??? o_O

Actually what he really does to us lesser players is let you have a faint feeling of hope and then he knees it to oblivion ;__;

 

[pockyD]

i got falcon punched by g-reg in tournament

 

[hungrybox]

SO












I want to hear predictions for this.


we made an official thread about it in ATL South. +hype.

 

[DJ Nintendo]

Me & Lambchops: Team Tomahawk coming to a tournament near you lol.

 

[noodles]

I really dont see what playing in tournament gives you that friendlies do aside from pressure
>_>

 

[4% APR]

your opponent is trying harder usually, it might just be me, but i cant try my hardest in friendlies for very long

 

[stingers]

people dont try in friendlies...

 

[pockyD]

competition is why we travel hours to get to tournaments to begin with

 

[noodles]

Well unless your ****** people since they arent trying it shouldnt be much of a problem.

 

[PB&J]

playing friendlies to me is practicing certain things, if u were to play me i would try to do alot of things that i never tried doing since they are friendlies and sometimes i dont even try as hard,

in tourny- u want to win to advance further in bracket and some players do what ever it takes to win like counterpick dumb stages and camp u till they win

freindlies- unless your playing soft people wont camp u or do gay counterpicks just to win.

its like why waste all your energy on just a freindly, even though there are exceptions but tourny brings the best and worse out of u and u can go forward from there

 

[KageMurphy]

PB&J made a post without posting a youtube vid? DAWG IS U IGHT!?

[Vegard]

rofl, its like some of you morons almost want armada to do really bad to make up for your silly predictions before pound.

 

[The Cunning Weasel]

people are just feeling patriotic. They when Ally wins major tournaments since he is Canadian

 

[Zephynazo]

Hope Armada wins Melee, and Ally win's brawl, so that no american wins either of the tournaments.

If Ken where to go tho, id root for him (and Isai ofc )

 

[The Cunning Weasel]

I think Plank has a personal vendetta with Ken. Not sure. and Isai is Isai. lol 64 all day everday

^Seconded,

Basically lets relate this to Football sense this is Football season.

So ya...your post would then read. "I really dont see what playing in the Playoffs gives you that football practice doesn't aside from pressure.

Or if your a fight fan you can say. "I really dont see what The actual fight gives you that sparing doesn't aside from pressure

you see what I'm getting at?

Friendlies anyone can play amazing. Nothing is at stake but pride maybe. This only goes for certain people.

Tourney matches on the other hand are based on who can clutch out all the tech skill without choking. Along with this it takes a proper, calm mindset to win. Making the right decision when all the pressure is and succeeding really proves who the best player is. You can't get frustrated because your losing. In fact, I get excited when I play players I don't know when i'm behind. I play much better.

I would say a good example of this is shiz vs Lambchops. Sure they are just vids but Shiz doesn't **** up. Dudes spot on everything. Lambchops will **** souls but he will/or did **** up, get pissed, and make HORRIBLE decisions. saw it several times when i watched the dude play at FC-D.
