stop it GnW, stop sucking and shut up.
This.

If you're bad, just no life the chain grabs in your room to get better.
Complaining about how bad you are at the CG's gets you nowhere.

CG's are a MAIN part of the metagame for this character. If you don't feel like spending the time to learn something as simple as chaingrabbing, why play this character competitvely? No offense.

It's annoying to see people sit and complain about something they have full control over.

Does anyone else find B-Throw to B-Throw CGing really funny?

I just practiced it for the lulz and got it down in about 10 minutes or so. I totally wanna use this in tournament this weekend lol

I actually am convinced that I have the yips.

Which is essentially losing motor control in my hands due to performance anxiety. Super common in golf. Kind of why I drop CGs the most in tourney, slightly less in MM, and slightly less in friendlies.

From what I read, practicing a lot can make it worse lol

Excerpts from the Smash Lab:

[3:36:09 AM] Yikarur: :0
[3:37:35 AM] DeLux: :)
[3:37:42 AM] Yikarur: hi Luxi
[3:38:13 AM] DeLux: so I've been chasing around a level 9 MK on run
[3:38:16 AM] DeLux: in training mode
[3:38:21 AM] DeLux: and catching it with grab setups
[3:38:24 AM] DeLux: but the kicker is
[3:38:33 AM] DeLux: if I whiff a grab
[3:38:37 AM] DeLux: I have to do situps
[3:38:42 AM] DeLux: and pushups
[3:41:22 AM] DeLux: dropping a chain grab
[3:41:26 AM] DeLux: obviously counts as whiffing a grab
[3:41:33 AM] DeLux: that being said
[3:41:36 AM] DeLux: my arms are tired
[3:41:49 AM] Yikarur: xDDDD
[3:41:53 AM] Yikarur: haha nice
[3:43:30 AM] DeLux: it's like
[3:43:32 AM] DeLux: Brawl Agoge
[3:47:30 AM] DeLux: If anyone can think of a better way to practice without people, let me know
[12:58:12 PM] A2ZOMG: Best way to practice without people...be like me and actually have dreams where you play video games in your sleep with startling accuracy.
[12:59:11 PM] A2ZOMG: It's a proven fact that training in a dream is the EXACT same as doing it IRL in terms of parts of the brain used.
[12:59:37 PM] A2ZOMG: Only downside...training yourself to have these dreams consistently
[1:00:55 PM] A2ZOMG: But seriously, it's really effing good when it happens. At least for me, where my dreams are extremely good at replicating game mechanics with total accuracy.
[1:02:44 PM] A2ZOMG: what's even more awesome about these kinds of dreams is creating your own AI.
[1:03:27 PM] A2ZOMG: where you can basically play an opponent with specifications related to what you can recall.
[1:12:13 PM] DeLux: It's probably bad I have nightmares of dropping CGs lol
[1:12:27 PM] A2ZOMG: hahaha
[1:12:57 PM] A2ZOMG: Yeah it can be a little discouraging when those dreams don't turn out well

This gives the saying "I can beat you in my sleep" a whole new meaning.

this <3

i have brawl dreams. but i usually main Bieber and fight Smoom.
Smoom has his own character.
its a 34-65 MU in Biebers favor.
he can CG, but he has bad grab range after the hair cut.
Smoom has a waft like wario, but the rims of the gas is the hitbox.
theyre both top tier.
Biebers final smash is he pulls out a mic and sings jolly lulabies, its more effective than peachs, because the opponent dosent wake up. ever.
and yes, smash balls are legal in tourney in these dreams.
im the 3rd best bieber, and ironicly, smooms the worst smoom.....

I suckkk with Ic's now lol this is what I get for not playing. I won pretty much all my sets with falco >_>, got 4th, only won against one person with IC's. Lost to fino and fae, beat fino game 1 with falco, lost game 2 with mk, lost game 3 with ics. Lost to fae 2-0 using ics. Should have stayed falco :(.

My tournament experience was the opposite of Hylian's.

I was struggling as DDD all day so I use almost all ICs in tournament and got 5th. It took me 3 tournament sets to drop a grab. My CGs were on fire.

My desynch game ..ugh. It takes such a when I'm nervous. I need to get over this. But hey guys I MAINED ICs this tournament lol

Hylian is on that ballin' status. You got this next time, you just gotta practice more. ICs have such a retardly large upkeep to them.

I'm beginning to think that I HAVE to main them if I want to keep doing well with them.It just doesnt work if you dont practice their techs on a regular basis...lol

Fino is REALLY good at the IC matchup imo
Yeah he is, I was also really rusty though lol I should have just stayed falco, fino might have still beaten me but I would have done better. I think I would have beaten fae with falco as well, dunno though I regret not trying.
