I didn't ask which techs you know how to do. I asked which ones you use. If the answer is "none of them," you aren't as good at them as you think, or else you'd recognize their uses.
Talent can't be observed via the Internet. Any novice can come on here and claim to be good based on the results of inconsequential local tournaments. In fact, most of them do.
As I said, the definition of a "pro" put forth by this thread is admittedly vague. Here's what I think Lunin was getting at:
A pro is a player who:
-is a reputable and respected member of the Smash community at large (outside their own town, county, state, et cetera).
-has attended major, national tournaments and placed respectably.
The world consists of more than Texas. Nobody is "tossing johns." They're right to question you.
Nobody is saying that posting on Smashboards makes you good, either.
If such is the case, I would venture to guess that none of your opponents were any good.
You might think I'm just making blind assumptions, but I've heard the same story a hundred times or more.

ok since im answering more people at once, ill do it all in one post.
1. Walling jumping, wall tech, air dodgeing , dodgeing, L-c, C-C, hotspoting, b-jumping,cliff gaurding, all the basic "how to play melee" just about all of them, cept wave dashing, ( kinda pointless scooting back and forth, why scoot, when you cloud walk ? )
2. Agreed talent can obesevered trough the internet, that why i say most people here have little to no talent. reason for that: 90 percent of the post i read here, are people asking for help on the basic of gameplay.
3. That sounds more like a celebrity, but i respect your defitnition of it. A extremely good player, who doesnt call himself a pro but have been called a pro by others, thats my def for it.
4. Yea i know the world is bigger than texas, ok let me get this straight, do you honestly believe, that all 15 tournaments i went too, the smallest i believe had 30 people, were all not very good ? ill end it here, all noobs at every tournament ? * shakes heads * theres alot of naive people here, i didnt think you would be one of them.
Dude, Sora, I'm not after you or anything, but I don't agree with what you're saying. I am quite decent in NorCal. I DO place top 5 in a LOT of the tournaments I have been to, (and those who know me know the tournies I haven't placed top 5 in). And these aren't local tournies man, Isai goes to them, SilentSpectre, Zelgadis, Bob$, Germ, King. You just...don't seem to know much about this stuff so I don't blame you, I was like that too.
Open your mind Sora. Use your keyblade.

lol... ok lunin listen dude, I can see your trying to make a legitiment argument, so ill meet you halfway, you and Zoso, I actually listen to what you guys are saying. So what is it that im saying you dont agree with ?
What i dont i get is,.... Infact, i thought this was 7 habbits of a pro,.... Why did everyone turn their attention to me ? Anyway back to what i was saying, Ok now this is what i dont understand, people say Smash tournys are better than local, but out of all the tournys i went to more/better people are at the local tournaments. Then people say that local or less meaningfull than the ones that or held in someones basement ? Hmmm.... okay?
Ok the last 2 tournaments i went to held, between anywhere from 50 to 60 people, and some employees from a local Fx store rented out the building and it was a local tournament, 5 dollar entry fee, first prize $150 dollars, 2nd a gamecube , 3rd a copy of the game. OK i won that tournament, over about 50 people ? Can you tell me something ? if you knew you were a noob at a game, or not verygood ? would enter a tournament and pay 5 dollars ? if you did this obviously you thought you had some skills, no ? And tell me, besides the name, whats differs between this tournament and the ones you attend ? I guess you fight people with contracts, difrent prizes, is their anything else ? I mean, i win tournaments like this. then people say i should goto a smashboards held tourny, in some guys basement, with only about 10 people ?
Sora I am going to strongly advise you to just shut up. You keep saying "that dallas tournament" but fail to menton what it was as if you forgot (I have a weird feeling it wasn't MLG Dallas). ZoSo owns you to hell. All you are doing is arguing a point to people who KNOW you are wrong.
Here's the deal. The reason ZoSo is even bothering to argue with your scrub A** is that you are just SOOOO pretencious it hurts to let you keep posting without repercussion (also why I'm posting).
YOU ARE WRONG. You don't know NEARLY as much about the game as anybody you are arguing with. You are making yourself look like a clown. I know that to you it may seem "I can jsut argue these points because I believe they are the truth and everyone is just gonna have to deal with it." But ANYBODY who is playing at even HIGH level of play, much less pro, can tell you are a **** FOOL.
I also agree that professional smasher is a stupid term. Elite is more like it. BUT if you want to define pro, I'll just say it's someone who has signed an MLG contract. How bout that? Seems reasonable. Hence, I'm a pro and I say you should be quiet. now.
Any response other than "I'm sorry Sock I didn't know that's how it was, I'll be good" will be disregarded and automatically render you a mongoloid.
dude i only quoted this to show you, that i read your post, what was your goal in this? aside from the mindless bashing, and heavey *** kissing, I mean was this intent on lowering my selfesteem or something ? or were you trying to highten yours ? or were you trying to gain the respect of other members ? Due to your level of idoitism i was just going to ignore you, i but it seemed like you put alot of hard work into it, so i figured i should atleast respond to it.
