^ This needs to be a theme with Ryu on the team too. So something like Battle of the Headgear: Team Headband vs Tiara (Peach, Zelda, and Marth
).
But yeah, get on that Conquest everyone!
Welcome and enjoy your stay! Feel free to grab a plate of curry or two while you're at it! Speaking of which...
mfw I make curry and it actually tastes GOOD
I'm usually a horrible cook
We need a third character to make it fair with one side having falcon and another side having fox with so many reckless foxes who fish for kills that have been popping up on fg.
Falcon alone makes it seem unwinnable if Conquest is a popularity deal. Since I've fought 50000000000000000000000000000 Falcons, I just need to use that exp to hopefully lower their points earned.
I hate soupy things since I'm picky but I've never tried curry, might as well if you ever replicate that success.
There's like no smash scene in Nebraska so I have nowhere to practice unfortunately
Anther's Ladder is amazing. If you ever want to level up, spend a weekend on there.
WiFi matches or sets with players in your regional group who play online is also good.
FG is terrible, but I need a mode for when I'm on the toilet, when I have a few minutes before bed, or when I want to mess around or lab with characters.
It gives me practice for excessive defensive movement options, fishing, fully charged smashes, players who only throw out moves with no purpose besides always throwing a hitbox out, players who mash out of everything, and tryhard over-aggression, so it's not entirely bad. I know great players who can get away with some of these habits on other one because stupid play can throw off smart play if the smart play continues to expect more smart play without changing gears. If adaption happens, it becomes the microcosm that is counterplay and higher levels of yomi.

^The one and only time I'll ever give reddit credit for anything good. You'd be surprised at what you'll find.
You'll need a car and the drive to... drive to do literally anything in the Smash scene overall.
So there were like 64 players at my college Smash tourney today (Holy crap the room was so hot) and I made the top 16. I lost to a Japanese student who lives on campus since he's studying abroad that used Sheik. Aside from him, only 2 other players stood out as really good. My nerves got to me a bit and I made some mistakes with the guy. After I lost my first stock I went for some smash attacks like a noob because I wanted to close out the stock since he was around 90%. I should have just racked up damage with jabs and tilts since my tilts could kill him anyway. I eventually did kill with a forward tilt but I was at 86%. If I didn't do those 2 smash attacks I probably would have only been at 40-60% and the game would have been different. This is because I managed to live til about 150% and he was about 80%. The rest is history.
Overall, I was happy to know I was better than majority of the players there and that I was on par with the better players. Still disappointed I only made top 16 in my first tourney. Was just unfortunate all the good players were in the same part of the bracket as me.
Btw I was the only Roy player
Fishing is bad. It's the For Glory Special. Some players will fish really hard and get better at devoting their play to fishing the more stubborn they are, but patience beats them. Going from hot or warm to cold always beats fishing. Don't fish unless you genuinely read them to perform a habit where your whiff won't mean anything too bad, like during a landing trap or to beat an obvious approach. If you can play it safe and get a kill at 160 via rage uthrow versus getting a kill at 70 from mindless fishing, always pick 160. Sethlon in PM 3.0 would often get an opponent to 212 and up throw them, that's better than if he were to throw out fishy fsmashes from 30-40 to any higher percent.
Don't be disappointed in top 16 at your first tournament, anyone at their first tournament doesn't simply deserve more than last. People have to be last, and naturally, people who have gone to more tournaments will have more in mind to be above last. People with no experience making top 16 in a bracket of 64 isn't just how it should go. Anything more is a bonus. If you set expectations too high for your own placings, you're going to get stuck or regress. Rykoshet, my inspiration for playing competitively, had a lack of improvement and quit because of his mindset, and I'm disappointed and left a bit sour because of it.
Important version, def watch this, it's short and sweet:
NAKAT's starting out story, if you have half an hour to listen in the background:
Just do your best and improve. Being disappointed in yourself won't hand you tools needed to prove it wasn't a fluke and place better next time.
