Social SGD: The hedgehogs are back in town.

I got dead last tesh

I took a game off Nike but he brought it back, then I lost to Bio 2-0.

No big deal though. I need to play with the people in la who are slightly better than me ATM then I'll do better.

Dad's in the hospital, looks to me like a mild heart attack, irony hurts...

Update: Might also be diabetes

Ouch, hopes for the best for your family

ANOTHER Sonic to add to my trophy collection.

You did very well, btw. Last time I had that much trouble with Sonic (outside of Espy lol) was Kuraudo back at WHOBO.
If you lived in TX, I'd say you were second best after Espy, def above the others.

 

[Exceladon City]

-sigh- So I'm going to a tournament next week. Place your bets on where I'm going to place.

 

[Tesh]

Dang thats a raw deal. They were doing seeding based on points from the previous Lone star circuit events. It can be pretty rough for any OoC players because of that. Tournament was pretty stacked, even though so many top players cancelled on short notice. Bio is pretty impressive when he knows the matchup, so running into him your first round in loser's bracket can be pretty surprising.

Sucked how there were like 7 usable setups despite there being like 12 TVs there. After attending 2 lone star events in other cities, I'm pretty disappointed in the venue being so small (and still more expensive than the others). I only wound up doing 7 of my money matches and I didn't get a chance to play jnig and you. I feel especially bad for the people that crammed into carpools for hours to get here only to be crammed into an extremely small room unable to play and for the most part unable to even watch. I hope you guys would still be willing to come back to Houston tournaments though, I haven't seen Louisiana here since last year.

@ Nike, watching BSP play at Sync's, I had hoped he would be able to beat you, but he got closer than Zero and I have recently.

edit: i found the only set in which I used Sonic if anyone wants to see, i think this is espy in the first 20ish minutes of the video. http://www.twitch.tv/rockettrainer/b/294744404

my set is from 22:40 -48:20

I'm pretty convinced now that Delfino is an amazing timeout stage for Sonic. I don't understand what to do when I have to chase toon link though.

 

[Exceladon City]

You HAVE to play his game. No way around it.

Why am I even posting in here? I'm like the in-law Sonic main that nobody likes.

 

[Mr. Johan]

You have a Doug avatar, so you're ok with me.

May have a tournament at OU this weekend, but it would just be filled with randoms I'm betting. I hope there's cash prizes involved.

<3 Josh.

I wish I could find scrub tourneys with cash prizes. 08 Snake is like the best tool against scrubs. Ftilt and grenades.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I'd be compelled to use Scrub Snake if I didn't get sudden impulses to just get in the air and start nairing or dairing.

I really like being in the air in this game. I'll space people with DDD's Nair if I'm facing them, screw grabbing them. Hell, I space with Zelda LKs and Ganon Bair.

It makes me wonder why I haven't caved in and mained Wario.

 

[BSP]

I wonder why I haven't gone to wario yet either

He can do everything mario and luigi can, except better

That set Tesh posted looks exactly like Me vs. Hyro. What are we supposed to do? T_T

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

The title of this thread should be "They're not coins, they're rings! RINGS!!"

Every. Single. Time.

 

[FRiSKruns]

BSP what did you place?
Espy got 13th
I got 17th. :/
Zero got 25th I think

out of 48 i think

I wanted to watch Bio vs Espy and Bio vs you, but those matches happened off in that corner setup and I couldn't get to it at all.

MK vs Sonic is lulz.

to be accurate, according to the results thread you also got 25th... =/

 

[Nike.]

^^^

 

[FRiSKruns]

Nike get outta here, you don't main Sonic. =P

On another note, I wish I could give advice on the TL MU, I'd like to think I'm pretty decent at the MU, but tbh, I've only managed to beat ALSM's TL in friendlies (they're just friendlies), and I've gotten mixed results from playing WiFi TLs.

 

[Tesh]

Oh, I asked Sync at the venue and he told me I got 17th I thought. I assumed I got a bye. Either way, no points, no pride. Bracket was.....very easy and then very hard. The only tournament set where I went Sonic was the only fun one. I went MK vs these 2 falcos I'd never heard of and I remember there being salt from at least 1 of em. I was hoping I would run into someone I would want to play Sonic against.

@ toon link, matchup is so much easier when he has to chase you. Not even like how snake or falco are sort of easier when you have the lead. I have no idea how to reliably get in and get things done. If you look at my set, there were stretches of time where I couldn't touch him and he was just trolling me.

 

[Life]

Thanks for your concern. Turned out to be something relatively minor, all will be well in a matter of days provided nothing new crops up.

 

[Kinzer]

That's good.

It's still best to have everything looked at. Don't want to let any one tiny thing grow into a big problem later on.

I had a friendly MM with Zero at HOBO 33. I never really put much effort into understanding the ditto much before, but I did happen to learn a couple of things.

1- I always aim my ASCs at my opponent's head and I miss if my opponent also decides to spindash cuz of the ducking.
2-Fair is dangerously easy to SDI. How should I be properly using Fair to avoid being punished on hit? Characters like MK or Falco can do some really nasty stuff for free if they get hit by fair.

 

[MarKO X]

SDI is why I use nair a lot.

lol sike, my Sonic is all Genesis.

 

[NearZzz]

nah me vs you the night before looked like you vs hyro.

 

[kid craft 24/sonic master]

ah Nair: the move no one expects to get killed by, nor kill with. I remember winning a set a couple weeks back using Nair jumped off timed a nice Nair on them at like 146% and they were just like "wow i didn't think that move would kill"

 

[Tesh]

That might be a good mixup for people ready to SDI fair. I usually SDI down for the free Uair combos (if im MK).

 

[MarKO X]

well, it's easy and mindless to combo out of a Spin Dash/Charge with, and it's definitely scoring max damage all the time (barring it being staled).

nair would be underrated if its priority didn't completely suck.

 

[Tesh]

I should probably just....combo my spindash jumps into spring-dair. Thats a meaty combo and AC dairs are great for combos. Trouble is as percents rise, you aren't gonna be above your opponent after a spindash hits.

 

[da K.I.D.]

nair would be pretty fantastic if the hitbox was in anyway bigger than the hurtbox.

 

[Espy Rose]

I always liked shnair on a ledgehanging opponent who tries a get up attack.

 

[Tesh]

^^ i guess nair is useful in situations where you could punish with anything you want.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I find myself using FFNairs and SHNairs when I want to make some type of "pressure" with no fear of lag; Fair obviously can't get the job done, and Nair's Frame 5 hitbox is neat compared to Bair's Frame 12.

 

[MarKO X]

nair would be pretty fantastic if the hitbox was in anyway bigger than the hurtbox.

aka better priority.

 

[Exceladon City]

So I'm giving Trela 2 dollars at Siis6. Hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype.

What's everyone's stock record against Trela? Everyone except Espy.

I'm gonna see if I can beat it.

I'm so free.

 

[Tesh]

I think you would need to take a game for that to be possible...

 

[da K.I.D.]

Im even in sets with trela atm.

 

[WedginatorX]

Same

Oreo, why you mocking emoSpeed bro?

Also, thanks for covering it before I could Excel. :/

~I'm too slow~ T-T

 

[Tesh]

What other Zero is there? That MK from Mexico?

 

[BSP]

I don't know, that's why I asked
