wtf? that's lame :/ now I'll never know if I can get good enough to beat his Lucario before I inevitably quit.
Reminds me of how Metal Sonic and Dr. R trolled the **** out of me on Sonic CD. I COULD NOT FOR THE 5 LIVES OF ME BEAT THAT DAMN LEVEL. I left, hung out with some friends, got a little lit and wrecked that **** first try.
That means you have a shielding habit. Aerials OoS should be used to punish poorly spaced moves and unsafe moves on your shield. Not just because "Surprise! I do aerials out of my shield!" When you feel like you need to aerial out of shield, you should just space. Your overall position should be adjusted so that you feel safe enough to not have to shield until you're certain someone is about to commit. Try playing in training mode against an aggro CPU and don't shield, just outspace them.I wonder how long I'll have to wait before I break my Aerial OoS habit, normally Aerials are great OoS when done correctly, but I've got a habit of doing it so much that you can just about bait it on any character with a decent fast fair that has range like marths, MKs, or Ness' and punish me for trying to uair or bair OoS :/
Edit: we got me you and tesh though!We got this! and by that I mean we have Razer, Trela, and you.
Because people actually play that game. A local in UMVC3 is like 40 people deep. In a place like TX, Gnes would make BANK if he got sick at UMVC3.
Pretty much all the smash players that leave the community go to marvel.
Whatever happened to playing good games regardless of popularity lol.
congratulations, now youll be able to get DAT FIGHT MONEY and keep your lights on at home.Trela quit too?
I OUTLIVED THE BEAST!
I would go as far as to say about 50% of tourney going brawl players play MvC3. The game is fun as hell, theres a TON of room for interpretation. And it HEAVILY rewards the most important aspect of smash, mindgames. smash players easily transition to it.
Im going to a local marvel tourney in nov that has 30 people consistently, we might break 40 this time around.
pretty much all of florida smash plays marvel.Kinda like how FL lost Afro, HrNut and RedHal
but why would Trela quit when he is so gud and has the results to back it up?
Wait... Trela is going to WABA where he will probably win teams -_____-
1. Marvel is a good game, thats why people play it. Not only is it fun to play, but possibly more importantly, its fun to WATCH even if you dont play the game.Whatever happened to playing good games regardless of popularity lol.
I hate that its a determining factor now a days.
for the record, I dont really understand why people would QUIT brawl to play marvel, when they can easily play and be good at both.Can't blame them tho... in all honesty it just takes more WORK to have a scene in BRAWL
I just LOVE this game and SONIC enough to keep playing.
It's work to have a scene in any game, especially if no one is taking the lead. But being successful with it is the most rewarding thing and allows you to play a game you love with people as opposed to settling for something else.Can't blame them tho... in all honesty it just takes more WORK to have a scene in BRAWL
I just LOVE this game and SONIC enough to keep playing.
Some ppl just love the game, and getting better. Success isn't their drive. I got competitive with Melee YEARS behind the metagame curve, and im realisitic about my odds. I just love seeing my quick and steady progression.
Because fun and winning stop coexisting after a certain point. Unless making money is what tickles your fancy, then you're in good graces. There's not alot of money in Smash...especially in regions that don't have a ridiculous population density. Taking first in those regions you'd make enough to cover the expenses you paid to get whatever tournament it is.Whatever happened to playing good games regardless of popularity lol.

True. However, not all players adapt that quickly that early in their game. To touch base on what KID said, if someone isn't playing high level players, they aren't going to develop the ability to adapt as quickly. Playing against higher level players exposes you to more developed and honed playstyles and allows you to learn and identify them as you grow as a player.It is very close to impossible to become top level at a game without being a part of a top level community
Alternatively, as I put it, losing is boring. (Then again, I didn't win a single game at Duq melee last Friday but I got visibly better nearly every game I played so that kept me going.)
I quit to play p4u and marvel and because brawl's metagame is beginning to bore me. Im getting better at a faster rate in p4u, but I'm also improving pretty fast at marvel. Brawl just isn't fun at the moment. I won't say that I'm quitting forever, but I'm having so much fun learning new games right now.
Just for the record, I think Brawl and UMVC3 are very fun games and good games from a non-competitive perspective.
I meant the success of building a scene for a game that you love is what's rewarding. Having 1-2 people who play P:M with me on a semi-regular basis to a handful of people who play on a regular and frequent basis has been extremely rewarding in the sense I'm able to play this game with more friends, learn more about Melee and P:M, and simply enjoy a hobby that much more frequently.
You deff need to be apart of a "high level/top level community" in order to place well against players around your state/region/country/world simply because it's the meta at high level that you need to learn, adapt, and counter. Learning how to counter low level to mid level players will not win against high level players. While it does boil down to who is the smartest and most technical as well as consistent, you need to be able to readily analyze and predict what they're going to do, when they're going to do something, how they'll set it up, etc etc. And the only way to learn this at a high level is to either play said high/top level players.
Stick to P4U. The game is far more legit than UMVC3, because I can assure you that as time goes on, people WILL start abusing the TAC Infinites more and more frequently because it's a stupid good stalling/time running tactic and also a huge meter builder. And while it's generally harder than standard ToD combos, it's still another ToD mechanic at everyone's disposal and is just a poor oversight which holds more cons than pros for the health of the game.
Well sure, it's definitely easier to see your mistakes when you're playing someone at the top level...but it's always possible to self-critique even against mid-level players (like if you SD or get gimped once but still end up winning with two stocks, you could make a personal goal to be more careful offstage next match and pull off a threestock). This is why going to nationals at least occasionally is so beneficial to a player's growth - at a national, a person who might normally only be able to play mid or low level players has the opportunity to fight top level players and be forced to address his or her own bad habits, to a greater extent than usual.
that's even worse than here lolol.
