Placed first at World 1-3, went undefeated (set wise) losing only 3 matches.

I counterpicked a Meta Knight to Rainbow Cruise in Grand Finals...and won WHAT NOW (too bad he is a Falco main. <3)

 

[Zajice]

Awesome SuSa!


I need to freakin' learn how to play Rainbow Cruise...

 

[SuSa]

I had more fun playing Melee for 3 hours before the tourney then I did the entire tournament...that's bad.

no it isn't, play more melee!

if I had anyone to play IRL I probably wouldn't even play brawl.

...

so I don't feel like going all snake/MK during the interim ladder, I'm also an indecisive idiot so I'm letting you guys pick my distraction(I'll go back to snake fall ladder probably, I just go through this ADD a lot where I need some change)

A) Diddy
B) Sheik
C) Marf
D) Falco

 

[Zajice]

That's not a bad thing. Melee is phun! :D

 

[nevershootme]

man i'm friggin bored... studying my *** off for a dumb final exam on a subject i'll ever never use in my god**** career... dynamics, which is basically physics but with more practical problems...

I study electronics, not ****ing bricks that move and how much! not to mention willing to electrocute people!

 

[napZzz]

That's not a bad thing. Melee is phun! :D

only when you're good at it. I get 2 and 3 stocked by every good melee player in my state. Not fun.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Lol SuSa. Gratz on getting first in your tourney. For anyone that cares, I got 5th in Singles and 2nd in Doubles.

I got bracket-****ed in Singles (had Reflex first round) and got 5th

In doubles, we had both of our loses to Reflex and his brother.

To sum it all up, Reflex is too ****ing good.

 

[nevershootme]

serin, i posted on your tourney thread on my thoughts of you running your 1st tournament. if u need further advice, feel free to consult me

 

[o-Serin-o]

Thank you. I'll let you know. =3

 

[Darkshadow7827]

Oh man, Serin is gonna upgrade to a blue name - whipee! Also, good stuff serin how you put "take a shower" under additional details, haha.

What is "pools." I know brackets and how they're setup, like any non-gaming tourney. I'm not sure what pools is. Is it like a more informal version of brackets when there are too many people?

 

[Tennet]

serin we gotta play wifi sometime. my scrub falco wants to play your DDD

 

[Ken Neth]

Pools are basically multiple small round robin tournaments to see who gets to be in the bracket. You divide all the players up into a certain amount of groups or "pools". Then you have everyone in a pool play all the other players in their pool. You keep track of match records for every set and then after everyone has fought everyone else in the pool, you take the top people in the pool and advance them into the bracket. It depends on how many pools there are, and how big the bracket is, but usually the top 2-3 in the pool make it out.

Pools also have the purpose of helping TO's be able to seed the bracket correctly. Normally you only see pools at larger tournaments.

There are various forms on how pools will be runned. as ken said, it's to ensure proper seeding for the final bracket

pools can either be double elimination brackets and cap off to a set amount and form a new double elim, or round robin.

they're pretty much an efficient method to weed out half the entrants in a few hours to ensure the time to finish is done right

 

[o-Serin-o]

Tennet, I'm not used to wifi yet, so gimme a couple more days.

 

[SuSa]

Now do you see why I always ***** at you to let me play and say I'm rusty? XD

Tourneys really, really **** up your WiFi.

And I go to tourneys almost weekly now. >.< so people are lucky I play WiFi at all anymore...

 

[Tennet]

Serin you'll win either way lol

 

[Zolios]

I used nades to cancel out Ness' pk thunder in recovery.

That's how ****ing awesome I am.

 

[SuSa]

I found out I'd rathers face a MK then a Falco.

 

[Darkshadow7827]

Oh, so that's what pools is. The more I know!

 

[Sinz]

You have trouble with the Falco MU?
Why?

 

[SuSa]

I **** Falco and G&W... what are you on?

It's just sooo boring if the Falco is patient and camps the entire match.

[So Fatal]

i love fighting mk instead of falco!!!!!!

 

[SuSa]

Falco is just a stupid and boring matchup IMO.... lol

 

[arwildcats09]

:o I've never actually looked at this thread.

ugh so true. And whenver you get close its a phantasm back to camp.

Or that spam that annoying *** jab

 

[So Fatal]

truth. also what are these techs

 

[nevershootme]

i can partially agree about it, mk is at least more managable to handle than an annoying *** falco

Oh and to join I kinda like playing Meta more than Falco, because I hate lasers.

Made a thread on the post I made. Should be easier for people to see now.

I don't like facing any of the top tiers.

Snake dittos get annoying, you are either being tilted or edgeguarded.

Falco it's the same with the phantasm/lasers.

MK is just a pain to try to recover against.

Wario is difficult to hit.

Diddy is too many mindgames with the banana.

DDD is the match-up I like.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Edit: Wrong button <_< Meant to do the one above this to edit.

 

[o-Serin-o]

You only like the D3 matchup? Lawl.

 

[GTR!]

I hate playing competative Smash brothers.

Quoted as seen through my computer

Edit: I just started playing on wifi a pretty good bit lately to learn matchup etc. and i just went to a tourney on saturday and played like total ****. Does wifi really **** with you that bad or could it be i was just haing a bad day?

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Try playing only through wifi. My opinion on top tiers will change on offline. Wario/Falco/MK/Diddy won't be a such a pain when I can react to what they do instead of trying to plan ahead. My connection I pretty much have to activate the Airdodge just before MK activates the UpB if I want to avoid getting hit by it. Powershielding lasers/phantasm is possible constantly instead of shield dropping lag all the time.

So I have reason to dislike the MUs online. But those are really the only nitpicky problems I have with it. The rest of the MU is entirely fun to play.

 

[o-Serin-o]

It ****s with you.

You play WiFi like you'd play WiFi.

Starting playing WiFi like you would offline, even if you lose (because its WiFi)

I have like 8000 online matches and 1400 offline matches (many of which aren't even matches) and I win tourneys...

 

[Darkshadow7827]

I refuse to use snake online. I'm too afraid of messing up my game. Secondaries - i don't care as much.

Edit: I don't know or notice if I do things differently online, so... I dunno

ahh i see, yeah i totally see where you are coming from now.

Edit:

@SuSa: Wow its weird that what you said makes total sense. I never though about it like that, but now that you mention it im gonna have to start playing that way.
