NEW QUESTION!

Who is your smash rival? Who are your rivals of the past? Did you pass them, they pass you, or did they quit?

SORRY FOR BEING LAZY!

well my rivals of the past were probably miz+park+chok of modesto, but i've passed them except for choknater... idk if i consider him a rival atm though, considering we are supposed to team at genisis (insert plug of how we're gonna **** because chok would want me to say so)

oh and SDR was when he beat me at SCSA 2 cause i was like wtf!?!?!?! but then i beat him at boss' so i got my revenge and he's not a rival of mine anymore

i wish i had a rival currently down here in so cal... oh well, maybe i'll piss someone off and we can become rivals

btw good question alan, better then what color do you like

Haha, I totally knew it was Pocky's question

Good **** Kevin


My smash rivals:
When I first started: Ian. He beat me at my first biweekly, was always better than me but not by that much.

Now:
I guess Luis, although if he beats me in our next MM/tourney set it will be too one sided to call a rivalry.
Obviously NICK from Fremont.
I guess me and stupid Hydro Kage are rivals at this point because I've played against him in tournament more than anyone else.
Oh, and any of Sheridan's characters worse than his Ganon, in particular his Roy.
If aznforce actually went to tournaments, he might be my rival. I wanted to rematch him at SCSA/Mango Juice but he was a no show.

Chok was my rival in posting for a while, but dat ***** disappeared. Now I rule the NCB thread's post count with an iron fist.

wow i thought you might at least put a little effort into rephrasing it so it didn't sound ******** :laugh:

for the first 1.5 years of my smashery, my rival was 'mogwai' in pittsburgh; we were very even, teammates, and pretty good friends outside of smash so it was cool

after moving here, i haven't really found anyone to fill that role; i mentioned a while ago that zoap was "officially" my rival, but our matchup is like 4-0 in his favor (i beat him in a mm once though!), so it's pretty one-sided

the closest thing i have to a rival now is probably hydro kirby, but he'd probably beat me far more often than not in tournament (though i did jv 3stock him on rainbow cruise in tournament with IC the last time we played :laugh:). maybe the round kid too, though we've only played in tournament once. in reality, my inability to progress skill-wise just leads to anyone i considered a rival for any brief moment in time flying right by me

ender is my rival in life though ;)

I say you got lucky.... we need a concluding set to finish this once an for all. My rivals are the people I need to beat:
MacD
Atlus (cuz I want you spot on the PR)
Kira (cant see beatng you anytime soon, but its definitely a goal of mine)

When I first started out it was my brother, we were about even and enjoyed multiple character matchups to test the rivalry(Peach vs Fox, Mario vs Luigi, Falcon vs Ganon, Link vs Samus, Falco vs Peach), after I started to get into the competitive scene and he started highschool I got better and eventually he got bored so we played less and less, although he is still very good we very rarely play and I sometimes wish he would just learn some things as he seems to be such a waste of natural talent.

After that it became my crew mate Kawn, who since I started playing had always been way better than me. That fact aside I was the 2nd best in the crew and most of the others wanted to see me dethrone him eventually. It only took 3 years lol. He eventually stopped caring about being competitive as well and now plays 2d fighters.

After that Snap, my training partner for most of the summer of 06 and 07 became my rival. Up till summer 06 I never considered him a rival simply because I was better than him, but by then end of 06 we were going even. In 07 he surpassed me by miles and even though he is semi-retired right now he is still better than I am.

Right now Phil is probably the closest thing I have to a rival, when were both on and playing seriously the games are very intense. He is better than me but it still is good to have someone to train with and help gauge your level. SO PHIL AS OF RIGHT NOW.

I'd probably say....

Brian, for the same reason's he's mentioned.
Pavo, but I've started beating him a lot more consistently now w/ fox/cf
My endgame rival is probably Justin cuz he REALLY got me into competitive smash like... last year. Plus I hate falcos and whats a better way to dealing w/ a hatred of falcos then beating a player called FALCOMIST.

my only rival is myself because i know when i'm playing my best the only people who can beat me are mango, zhu and lucky

the problem is just harnessing my best
You sound soooooooooooooooooo arrogant. Im glad I know you, and this isnt like the WCSL days.

My first rival was Sean. Yeah, Brawl Sean. He used to beat the **** outta me. Now, you could prolly say its a bit lopsided. He was going even with me at the last CGC in a friendly, but I remember 3 stocking him with Peach.

Then it was little ol' Shroomed. Trained that ***** for days, and now hes better than me.

Now its not really anyone. Im not competitive enough, I just like making friends.

Oh, and Im getting pretty dam good at the marth peach match up, so you better watchout.
lol, that's fine, it's the match up i feel the best about ;)... although that could be because there are no zhu/lucky player marth's in cali

first rival park

then choknater

then KFCrack

now....

i dunno lol
i'd so be you're rival if you still lived in modesto... wait i'd have to live there too

Shroomed better then me blah blah blah
i think we talked about this at mango juice, he plays well, yes... but there are other aspects you should teach him "Are you sure this is the right TV??? How do you know???"
Now its not really anyone. Im not competitive enough, I just like making friends.
yea friends, they are always good
