LOL Lanstar definitely has an ego as much as he wants to pretend that his post was just him trying to troll.

He played me in tournament where all he did was try to prove that he can powershield my missiles, I mean, he really didn't try to approach, and his body language was that of a guy with an ego. It was pretty cocky IMO, and since I have a big ego too, I started casually trying to prove that the powershielding didn't phase me and I was still going to shoot missiles.

He seemed to try much harder when he realized we were pretty close during the 2nd match.

The most egotistical part was that after beating him 2-0, where the 2nd game was kinda close, he seemed pretty upset, as if he was robbed, and asked me for what seemed like a post-set rage friendly. He can act like it wasn't, but I know a raging friendly request when I hear one.

The next P?

This post summarized the essence of the Lanstar

I wasn't sandbagging Baka. I hadn't eaten anything all day, except for a banana when I woke up, and I hadn't gotten a lot of sleep. Baka was kind of freaking out before the match and I told him he shouldn't worry because it was the best possible time for him to play me that day.

Beyond all that, I've never really had to worry about letting anyone down but myself. That's something I'd prefer not to experience again. I don't plan on doing anymore money matchs with side bets involved again.

TL;DR Johns

The post from before was obviously for lols, the idea just came to me in the library and I wanted to see what people would say. I basically know where I really stand as a player. I think I'm generally at least somewhat underestimated, but I'm not amazing.

I do honestly believe I'm better than Daniel, and possibly PR worthy. However, I don't expect any of you to believe this, and I know the only way to truly establish this is to demonstrate it, so that's what I'm working towards.

I've noticed the better smash players don't usually whine about those rituals. A lot of smashers/other gamers go to a tournament off 2 hours sleep, possibly hungover, and don't eat until after they win the tournament at 9 PM. The 8 hours of sleep 3 meals babies never do good

dude

baka

that wasnt me on a bad day lol that was me playing absolutely horrible*with fox at least* my arms felt like they were going to fall off every time l-canceled. I had a sick headache. About a hour and a half of sleep ate about 6 french fries all day. Looool i was freakin dying. Mad props to mccain for carrying me the way he did. Even i could tell he wasgetting a lil mad at me for playing so bad.i had to adjust the way i played in teams soooo much for us to have had one that. I did absolutely nothing

but back to my point

anybody else i played that day that i beat was just reeeeeeeally unlucky to have played me that early on. The later the day got the worse i started to play. N besides about like 5 minutes before you beat me in tournament, didnt you lose to jun in a mm? Seriously dude you dont know what a bad lucky is yet lol i hope to enlighten you sometime soon though.

Just hope you dont get a good lucky :]

n my falco ***** too psh . . .he was tired as well

n loool for me being 8th ....damit. Guess ill have to win genesis 2 now :]

??????

<3

 

[baka4moé]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

i was thinking that but didn't want to say anything. i think sleep johns are hella legit.

holy crap maybe lanstar's been sandbagging this whole time. =o i've gotta watch my back yo.

 

[Rosedemon]

If you are johning about something you could've prevented, then you need to reassess your pre-tournament priorities.

 

[pockyD]

preach it!

 

[Rosedemon]

As I was typing that, I was like "Kevin is gonna respond to this"

But I didnt think you'd say that.

hmm...

I always got the same kind of vibe from you / Lanstar, and I think I understand why now LOOOOL

interesting, what did you expect

 

[Rosedemon]

interesting, what did you expect

Some pretentious discourse about how stupid I am.

And now im like

 

[baka4moé]

where do you get all your gifs/jpegs alan? theyre so awesome.

 

[Rosedemon]

Tumblr.

I have a bookmark folder dedicated to them.

I've been trying to find a good situation to use this one, but nothing has arisen...

 

[joeplicate]

dude i know exactly what kind of situation i would use that image for

 

[DanteFox]

dude i know exactly what kind of situation i would use that image for

 

[J.Shadows]

lol at no sleep John I notice that most good smashers go to tourney with little to no sleep. I was about to start giving too much sleep johns

 

[Brian]

i looooove animated gifs

 

[joeplicate]

dude, sleep johns are sooo dumb


and it's mainly just because smashers are dumb.
mango's power doesn't come from his lack of sleep, or his hung over-ness, during tournaments. good smashers get away with doing stupid **** like staying up all night because they have the skills to cover up the gaps in their gameplay. being tired during tournaments is just a coincidence based on a ****ty smasher lifestyle LOL

nutrition, sleep, whatever, these things all make a difference. take care of yourself, *******es. you'll play better and be a happier person for it!

 

[bbb]

 

[Kouryuu]

The last few pages were a real good laugh! LOL at gifs!!

Whether it's getting good at Smash or anything really, you have to drop that ego. It's only a barricade to self improvement.

 

[Rosedemon]

I love you.

yes homo

 

[HugS™]

Sleep/Eating johns only count when you're the only victim of such circumstances.

Like Joe said, a lack of sleep/eating is an inherent part of the smasher lifestyle. Who gives a **** if you didn't sleep, NO ONE good managed to sleep either.

Controller johns or lack of playing johns would have been better IMO.

 

[Metameme]

i looooove animated gifs

base god swag swag

 

[Jun.]

If you didn't get enough sleep, its your fault
If you didn't eat before, its your fault
If you didn't get enough warm up, its the community's fault
If you got camped, its fox's fault.

 

[ChivalRuse]

Those are some amazing GIFs. Haha!

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

Oh my god I ****ing love this.

Will Smith - "Talent you have naturally, skill is only developed by hours and hours of beating on your craft. I've never viewed myself as talented, where I excel is sickening work ethic. No matter how talented you are, your talent is going to fail you if you aren't skilled. The only way I picture myself differently is that if we get on the treadmill, two things are gonna happen. You're going to get off first, or I'm going to die."

Why is Will Smith one of the most awesome people ever

 

[Rosedemon]

That wasnt a very good quote.

And practice johns are STILL your fault, unless there was no way possible for you to practice at/before the tournament.

 

[Jun.]

in which case maybe one just shouldn't enter the tournament.

 

[Rosedemon]

Eh, thats assuming you're gonna lose your first match.

If you're ****ty and cant win against a scrub with no practice, then dont enter the tournament. I however will tough it out, and spam downsmash until im up and running.

 

[Jun.]

well I mean every scenario is fine if no one is gonna john of course.

I'm just mentioning if one was to john then the option of not playing is always present.
