Everyone keeps talking about velocity's sexiness... But I haven't seen a video of his G&W in ages. Are there any recent vids of him?

1.Hylian
2.Myself (xYz)
3.NoJ
4.Cosmo
5.???
those are the only G/W I know of that are winning tournies or placing top 5 consistently.

Myself and Hylian go to more larger scale tournies,(60-128ppl) but whose to say that the smaller ones that cosmo/NoJ are going to have more skilled players.
Fast 1 and other large national tournies will reveal the best G/W.

please update me on velocity as I have not heard of him consistenly placing in tournies.

me and velocity do pretty well on the upper east coast.

at xesticle me and velocity tied for 5th (good considering m2k, pc, and cort placed ahead of us)

i do well at any NE tournaments (top 10 at least), and velocity just got 5th at C3 where azen and m2k attended.

Aha, rabbt, but that is a contradiction. You cannot say that you have placed in every tournament you've been to if you have been to none. You must have been to at least one for that statement to be correct.

So...

Cosmo/Hylian/NoJ/xYz seem to have the most consistant tournament placings.

What do they do differently then other GW players? Do they all play similar to each other? Who is the most unique?

Thanks!!!

Cosmo and NoJ seem to play mostly similar (You can youtube videos of them playing each other for an easy reference). Hylian has a more unique style that uses much less bair. As far as xYz's play.. There are only a couple of 1v1 vids with him in it on youtube that I could find, and they all were recoded incorrectly (and it results in the video skipping frames and the match appears to move very quickly) so it's difficult to say.

Is there any better videos of xYz playing? I'd be very interested.

all my vids are really old right now lol... too bad the finals of "the cave iii" or the winners finals of "This Game Sucks", or even the finals of "DUMB" (sorta older now) weren't recorded.

i've never placed below 3rd in a tournament with G&W, but as xYz said the tourneys up here don't tend to draw more than ~65 people.

so top would be cosmo, NoJ, hylian, and xyz? who is aerosmith and other ppl that boss listed
Aero shadow and I are from MD/VA.

We're two of the best G&W players in this area.

Aero is too good.

The best thing I've done is 3-stock Azen's Lucario in a crew battle and in total take 7 stock off of H2YL at Critical hit 2.

I've been to 3 tournies and have placed:

7th-critical hit 1, lost to Chillin then Chu

17th- UMCP the Drunken Brawl- played Boss 3rd round lost 3rd match, played G-reg first losers bracket round = semi bracket screwed

13th-critical hit 2, played Boss first round = semi bracket screwed


PS: sorry for the Jons lol

which got locked. there have been too many of these "whoz teh best" threads,
