Mainly GW. I can't beat him with IC's. Honestly I don't think anyone will beat him consistently with Ic's any time soon. I think my IC's would do better on the counterpick stages against him than the starters. I can beat him on most stages with GW, but he ***** me on smashville and there was a no DSR rule for starters this tournament which made me have to play him on smashville several times. We actually went dead even in terms of games and sets(5-5 and 1-1) but he only needed to win one set while I needed two.

Also, I went into the losers bracket early and had to play a million matches to get to finals lmao. My bracket was like this IIRC:

Winners:
Beat Holms(Wolf) 2-0
Lost to Legan(MK/Marth) 2-1(He won first game MK vs IC's, I won 2nd game 2stocking him MK vs Ic's and he counterpicked Delphino so I went GW confident that I could beat his MK but he went Marth and won. He was playing really well so no johns :))

Losers:
Beat Jordan(Luigi/GW) 2-1 (We played on Spear pillar lol was fun)
Beat Fino(Olimar) 2-1 (Tried IC's on RC and it didn't work out too well lol)
Beat Nicole(Peach) 2-1 (suupperrr hard matches, 30 seconds left last game and I'm behind 40% and I get a grab and kill her with it)
Beat Joker(Snake) 2-0 (yayyyy for beating a good snake)
Beat Mr. Doom(Ike) 2-1
Beat Domo(MK) 2-0 (Domo beat Havok at MLG Dallas but I played the match-up really well unlike I did at dallas when I lost to tearbear lol)
Beat Zeton(Fox) 3-1 (supppper hyped matches with tons of yelling lmao it was insane)
Beat MJG(Toon Link/Diddy) 3-2
Lost to MJG(TL) 2-3.

Everyone got drunk after the tournament because we could sleep at the venue lol.
You forgot the part where I started drinking Vodka before Winners Finals lol. I don't think you knew that though.

And no DSR possibly COULD have helped me in the set but my suicides throughout the set played a big factor in the matches. I am pretty sure that Mr. Doom, Fino, Holms and Zeton suicided vs you as well.

Wow..Just realized that we all (meaning Kansas) have suiciding issues :rotfl:

I wish I got the chance to play you at Dallas, Hylian.
I saw your games (MM or friendlies) with ESAM. Your desynching abilities looked crazy.

Yeah I got a lot better when I moved out of texas for some reason lol. Looks like you got a lot better as well though since I left :). I wanted to MM X but didn't have time.


Also, it's not my fault my opponents SD lol. I'm pretty sure I had a lead in every match they SD'd in anyways.

I don't normally but I've been meaning to as a way of blocking-****-out training.

I don't really have a problem with people yelling in my ear or whatever but I figure if I learn to block out something I -want- to hear, then I'll never, ever have a problem with even little things like hearing comments about my game (which actually makes me super nervous, although tbh I don't usually notice those either unless they're directed at me or the person is standing right behind me).

It'll also mean I can learn CG rythmns without relying on game sounds at all, and even be able to do them with -actual- false rythmns playing in the background.

yeah i mostly drop grabs because i start laughing at various things LOL
Did anyone from Kansas starting doing "Yo Nana" jokes? Like, "Yo nana so dumb, she Daired off the ledge when you were trying to dsmash." or "Yo nana so slow, that she takes too long to perfect shield." things like that

hey guys =P

We really should test this with Sopo CGs, possibly has even more applications :D

*goes back to hw* -___-
EA and I were talking about this "yesterday?" and we decided that it was his department. He said something along the lines of this possibly motivating him to finish his indefinitely suspended project on sopo cgs.

IF he doesn't get to it by the time I'm "done" with the other CG project, I'll look into it.
But that might be much longer down the road.

Hey fellow ICs mains, I'm just a lurker who never really contributes, and I'm will to change that.
I figured this would be as good a time to start as any, for today I turn 18. :D

Didn't I post a vid of something similar in the ics wiki before?
You did, but the pivot grab wasn't buffered on frame 1 after the d-throw iirc.

Your was a buffered dash dance pivot grab (how I would describe it)

Actually, your vid was the first thing I thought of when I saw the d3 one. I believe this one may be usable on more characters =P

I'd like to try it put, but I haven't had time. Sheik's DACUS is in 3 frames iirc so this is definitely possible.
