They HAVE to be long to tell someone what to do for them to work. They aren't names so much as instructions. It's cool though, no more instracronyms. Just arbitrary names.

I'm lame. I just play Ice Climbers, but I don't do the whole de-syncing thing, or infinite grabbing... I'm trying to, but I guess I'm not good enough? o.o I'm a big fan of the pair though, they're adorable and sweet. ^_^

To be fair, Cheese got powerranked under the motto "don't desync ever". All of why I won't name a desync after him ever :)


Keep practicing. You'll get there.

Future actually got 4th:

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=292410

I split with MJG because they kicked us out of the venue :/.


The ROB is Future lol. He has a really good rob and he understands ICs from maining them. We had to play in bracket and had a super close set that I only won because I grabbed him at 0% on his last stock 3rd game and didn't drop the grab.


Edit: I'm also starting to think IC's vs MJG is hopeless. Future does the best out of me him and lain against mjg but it's still not very close lol. He has the match-up down perfectly :/.

Or you know, we could try to find new things to use vs tlink.

Jordan wants to win. So I'd call it a realistic attitude...why fight an uphill battle when he can beat him (or at least have an easier time) with Gdubs or Falco? No need.

Pretty much this. I have a lot of money on the line when I play him usually. I don't get to play many friendlies with him he doesn't like playing IC's. I've lost a lot of money just trying to figure out how to beat him with IC's. I've studied his videos, etc it just isn't worth it for me. I have a much easier time with other characters. I don't have a problem with any other Tlink player, just him.

Obviously it's not impossible, just not worth figuring out for me.

I sympathize with Hylian. I'm one of the few Sonics that hate the Falco matchup more than any matchup in the game. I've played it numerous times and figured out the nuances and it's still a pain. So now I just go MK against him.

This really. Don't give up until you found the solution.

You always come through here and start saying "I'll never beat x... I've tried everything."

..No I don't? Lol. When have I ever done that? I'll beat MJG just no point in losing money learning it with IC's when I can use other characters and win.

I never said not to switch to a different character if it's easier. He wrote that beating MJG with Icies was hopeless and I told him it'd be better to not have a defeatist attitude. That is all

And anyone with just a bit of foresight should be able to see how helping others will help you if everybody does it.


Egoism actually is really rarely accurate, its not because you are doing the best thing for yourself that you really get the best for yourself.

True, but if the group effort is just a single person making an effort, how effective would it be?

Seriously, we just talk out everything in the Skype Chat, we don't really catalog everything down.

That's not what egoism states though. It's do the thing that helps you out the best, not only help yourself and never help others. You are allowed to help others, but only so far as it will benefit you. A true egoist would want to help the community because he knows that doing so will benefit himself more than not doing so.

That being said you Ice Climber mains are all ******s.

This social needs a new title lol

It screams "my character is dead and people are voting them down because players were disgusted by how little the hype train helped them along".

Hylian's job is to change the thread title, I would have pretty much every week, but I have no power here.

Expect me to change the skype chat's title more too guys.

alright... i'm back for real now. got a mini tourney today to ease myself back into the feel of things. i think this time i'm actually going to practice (as opposed to before where i just played and kind of made it all up as i went along). i actually have my teching down now, worked on my timing/spaceing, etc. so so my only real limitation right now is remembering all the CGs. that said, today's tourney is small enough and has enough bad people that i shouldn't get punished for messing them up repeatedly.

anyway, point being, i'm back, baby.
