When it comes to "whos the best in aus" you first have to define what "the best" is. We all know that if A > B and B > C then its not true to say that A > C so saying that because Atilla beat me means Atilla is better than me is just deluding yourself. A few examples of this:
1. Scabe had beaten Atilla (pre-RC) while Scabe has never beaten me.
2. Richard7 nearly beat Atilla (friendlies) while Richard7 doesnt nearly beat me.
3. Atilla loses against Ted while Ted loses against me.

Scabe beat me in April. That's six months ago. That's longer than you've even been using my character for. It's long enough for myself to start winning tournaments and becoming part of the best team in the country. 2 years ago, i lost a set to luke, but you're not going to bring that up too, are you?
And i still lose to ted because i have no access to a mu he is well versed in, and its a mu that is bad for my playstyle. i'm overly aggressive, and love to take big risks, which is a horrible way to play against mk, wario gw and marth, which is why i have trouble, or have had trouble with those mus in the past. that being said, i'd like to think i'm getting closer to beating ted.
but in a mu that we both lack experience in, i ***** you son. and that is fact.
In the end, "the best player" comes down to who is most consistent in the most combinations of matchups and playstyles. The difference in playstyles is why Atilla lost to Ted but Ted lost to me. Another example is that my TL performed better against Hall's Snake than Atilla's Snake. Does this mean Atilla is better than Hall? No it doesnt.
it means i know how to use dash attack to punish obvious and unsafe landings. hall doesn't do anything obvious, but against your tink, it worked like a charm. should also not that i was able to take a number of friendlies off of hall, while you could not even almost keep up with what he was putting on screen (come on, you really had no idea wtf was going on). like i said to richard, its about being able to control items and deal with pressure, which imo are two pretty **** important aspects of the game.
I'm pretty confident that had I beaten Atilla in the bracket then I would have also got passed Ted as well. At the end of the day, the only Australian player I didn't beat more often than they beat me was Atilla. This is fact, whether it be because he plays Snake or otherwise. The "best player" can only be reached from results and as such I will let those results speak for themselves.
i only lost to one australian player also. and he wasn't you.
@luke
I was sandbagging in that one friendly match. Dont believe me? Ask Nova/Pwnsweet what I said about my Snake that night before we played.
Atilla: Enjoyed our friendlies, even though I couldn't win no matter how ahead I was.
i do find it funny that you can't fathom anyone but yourself sandbagging. i do it against people who can't beat me all the time; the one match i lost to your tink was similar, except i i got comboed by bair pretty hard at low percents on the third, typically when i'd start taking things seriously. this is why i'm that guy who everyone thinks they can beat, only to get ***** in bracket. such as yourself, for example.
