Sonic Tournament Results CHANGING THIS TITLE

[Camalange]

Grah, it still kills me that I made 9TH and barely missed top 8, then got 4TH and barely missed top 3 to make money.

D:

 

[infomon]

I still think there's a ton we don't know about Sonic's item usage.

Moar tech skill lullllllz.

I really think we have the advantage over Diddy, because one of his best assets is also our best asset.

Of couse it will require lots of testing and experience, probably with the help of frame/spacing data.

 

[ithrowthings]

Espy u should come with texas to cot4

Dude, you're goin to Cot4? I'm probly goin too. See you in winner's bracket.

 

[Kinzer]

Sure, Sonic's low tier in contrast to Ganon's mid tier status in Melee, but surprises do happen.

But Sonic is Top/Steak Tier in my eyes... so shouldn't that count for something?

 

[___X___]

heyy heyy heyyy! any of you wanna-be sonic mainers going to sk92's tournament in vegas on the 24th???

because i most likely am, and i would like to get some matches with you guys :D

 

[~TBS~]

welcome back, X. I hope you have been training and keeping up to date.
Anyone, if you can make this tourney, dont hesitate. Any chance to show moments worth of Steak should be first priority.

hello there sonicmaster :D

yess Ive been trying my hardest to train and keep up to date. ive been discovering NEW sonic tactics on my own, pretty useful ones at that.

but yeah im really gonna try my best to go to that tournament, if i do... i plan on squirting STEAK juice in everyone's faces.

 

[ithrowthings]

If I stumble across a round trip plane ticket to vegas for that day, I won't hesitate to use it.

 

[RenegadeRaven]

Vegas is soo far away! D=
Don't think my parents would allow me even if I could go.

 

[Kinzer]

Y'all suck, I hope somebody can manage to record the Steak dittos at SK's pad.

what would be even moar awesome, was if the MM was recorded and I won.

 

[Camalange]

lol, good luck Kinzer

I hope you know the Ness match up...

Really? I hope you can share those tactics with us...Sonic rep. I am with Cam, too ithrowthings...Ness can be tricky sometimes.

Let's hope they're new and applicable. *scoffs at the SCROD*
You'd better do something good if you go to Vegas, X.

And learning new tactics and not sharing them is downright ridiculous. All you're doing by holding them back is momentarily freezing any advances Sonic as a character could make.

 

[Camalange]

Puffy, I KNOW you didn't just mock SCROD.

Ok, it's not groundbreaking, but it's pretty steak.

 

[Espy Rose]

Puffy, I KNOW you didn't just mock SCROD.

Ok, it's not groundbreaking, but it's pretty steak.

I'm mocking it for its value on the tournament scene.
Not for its steak. It is quite amazing.

That, and I'm just angry today. I've been quite overdue anyways.

Need to go and punch something frail and weak...like a child.

brb.

 

[aeghrur]

Go punch a dead baby. Yups, yups yups.

 

[Napilopez]

I did a SCROD last week.

I soooo wanna face M2K in tourney and land a SCROD on him. I wouldn't care if I lost so long as I landed it XD.

Lol tho if I made some sort of uber comeback win through SCROD XD

 

[infomon]

Need to go and punch something frail and weak...like a child.

Lucas?

also... SCROD = lol... I listlessly think of it whenever I'm stalling on smashville... I hop on the platform and see if anyone wants to jump into position.... they never do even tho they don't know what I'm plotting, lol.

The day we discovered SCROD, though, was a happy day indeed

 

[Ken Neth]

Y'all suck, I hope somebody can manage to record the Steak dittos at SK's pad.

what would be even moar awesome, was if the MM was recorded and I won.

I have a recording setup, and I'm planning on recording most of the stuff involving the Utah players. So if you're referring to a ditto with X then there's a good chance it'll get recorded

 

[Browny]

So I got good and bad news...

I took first in the biggest tourney of the year inmy state since brawl came out (its a yearly thing, only in january) :D

Out of 28:
1st - DJBrowny (Lucario, Sonic, Snake)

But my sonic didnt fare too well Semi finals I was taken way too close to defeat by a G&W with a few spinshot->G&W usmash failures to make me emo. Grand finals i got massive stage-gayed by PS1 and almost got 3 stocked by my brothers MK (I clawed it back to a 2-stock med-high % but still, consedering i beat it yesterday it pisses me off) and got hit by 3 nairs on the final stock alone vs his snake and barely lost after leading the entire game, I relied on lucario as my main more this tourney, he won me the important games. It just wasnt sonics day

meh at least there should be some interesting videos. the first two stocks vs his snake were as good as any ive done against him and set two has my snake and MK in action

 

[~TBS~]

dude, you came in first and you used Sonic. how cab you even feel like that? I would jump for joy if I came in first, but still screwed up a little...i think. DJ, i didn't know you used Snake, and G&W is a hard match for Sonic, so dont feel TOO down. Good stuff, though.

 

[Camalange]

DJ, that's still a great accomplishment, even if it wasn't with all Sonic

DJ4AussieKing.

 

[aeghrur]

DJ, it's probably because your not used to adding in all the new stuff not to mention that your sonic had an off day.
I mean, you said you would bring out all that jazz during the tourny, but adding it all in will make your sonic worse before it improves. Don't worry about it man. =/

 

[ROOOOY!]

G&W is Sonic's hardest match-up in my eyes, so I don't think any less of you.

Good **** on first place DJ

 

[ShadowLink84]

SCROD?
Umm clarify please?

 

[Super_Sonic8677]

This.

SCROD?
Umm clarify please?

And this.

 

[~TBS~]

Spin Charge Roll Of Doom. On Smashville, charge a downB, and if your opponent jumps into the edge of the moving platform with you on it, The Spin charge will do more hits, and easily lead to a 44% spin charge. Any stage with platforms, like battlefield, norfair, and frigate, SCROD is doable. It works better on larger characters though, and it is pretty situational.

Lol nah its not that man, Im quite good at all that stuff and have been doing it for a long while. there was just a massive series of unfortunate events that led me to drop sonic in the winners semis/ finals and grand finals coz i just didnt want to take the risk of more screwing up and looking like an idiot.

Weeeelllll..... not quite.

Original video: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BghNRvRh9gI

The "any platform" version is just hitting them with SDR at the edge of a platform, and combo'ing it into a (multi-hit?) ASC afterwards; as the SDR rolls off the platform, it turns into an ASC.

But the original "SCROD" (and I'd thought the only one worthy of the title, but I guess we can call them both SCRODS), is only on Smashville or other moving platforms. As you hit with the rolling-off-the-platform ASC, the hitlag pauses you in the air while the platform catches up, so then suddenly the ASC is on the platform as an SDR again, which rolls off the edge with ASC.... and in each mode you can keep hitting them

I hope that makes sense lol

Oh, mkay. =/
Still the king of Aussie, lol.
Even if sonic is sharing that position with 2 others.

It was a silly response man, I don't really care or not if I get recorded... though my good matches are always a bonus. :D

Stuff

It's just a shame that it can only be replicated on moving platforms.

SV is Sonic's best neutral.

 

[Camalange]

I prefer Battlefield over Smashville, but kay.

Yoshi's is my least favorite neutral :/

 

[Kinzer]

Is a joke Camal, I only said that because SCROD was doable on SV. >.>

ANYWAY I want to remind you people I'm going to try to get Steak dittos with X, MM with his "rival" (seems appropriate), and if Edreese came to that tourney, moar MMs (if not, I know for sure he has to go to SiN).

I still need to get moar comfortable with the GC controller, however I just had a friend over play lots and lots of Barlw with me, so I'm closer than I was the last time.

 

[RenegadeRaven]

Lylat's the best... imo.


===============


So got back from my first tourney.
One word:
Fail. =(

Don't even know what I ranked. Somthin' low.
Won my first match against some Dk/Fox user. Reletively easy.

Then got rocked and knocked into losers by a ZSS.
HDTv was laggy as ****. Coudn't do much anything Oos cause I'd suddenly roll... =T /john
I told them not to put me on that tv >_>

Got rocked by tourney owner DDD in losers.
DeDeDe srsly has a Chain grab on Sonic? I thought he could UpB out of it. O_o
Why would the Best Olimar in Az use DDD? Made me feel like I wasn't worthy. lol
D*mn you guys for skipping DDD match up in Match up thread. lolz

Worst of all. I didn't get to get a recording of my Sonic. The only tv that was recording was always takin' and they didn't put me on it during the tourney.
The moment the finals match was played on it. They packed up cause everyone just wanted to get the **** outta there.
It doesn't matter, I guess. I know what I need to work on... sorta.
Can't spin shot worth **** anymore.
DI sucks
Horrible reaction time is horrible.
Muscle memery ruins me. Instintively dthrows whenever I grab. Even though Upthrow/Bthrow would have been better.

Want to get a wii and get this game to work on my ****.. but getting a laptop is more important right now.

 

[infomon]

Dude, it was your first tourney?? Relaaaaaaax yo, appreciate the experience you gained from it, don't feel bad about performing lousy; it sounds like you were against some pretty crazy competition.

D3's chaingrab on Sonic is legit, if it's done properly. Many ppl mess up the timing; our up-B lets us escape if they're not doing it perfect, iirc (although there might be a window of a few frames they could be off, I'm not sure on the details).

If your timing was uncharacteristically off at the tourney, it's prolly because.... it's a freaking tournament! It's normal to be a little psyched out, a little off-time with everything; sometimes I can tell I'm inputting everything way faster than normal -- too fast -- because of adrenaline or w/e from tourney matches.... lol.

Edit: Wait you don't even have a wii? lol no wonder your muscle-memory is a bit off. (Then again I was pretty good at Melee without ever owning a gamecube lawlz....)

 

[RenegadeRaven]

(Then again I was pretty good at Melee without ever owning a gamecube lawlz....)

lol, thanks?


Nah, but seriously thanks.
But fighting DeDeDe is annoying... his dtilt is too beast
lol.

Anyway. Played my first:
Dk
DeDeDe
Snake
MK
ZSS
Samus
Captian Falcon

 

[Kinzer]

At least tell us whether you showed that C.Falcon your moves or not... (in Infzy's case, C.Falcon wants people to show them their moose... sorry, I just had to get that out...)

 

[RenegadeRaven]

No, I got rocked by that Falcon. >_> (friendlies)

He made it to the finals. Took out an MK and Snake or 2 in the process.
finals was his Samus/C falcon vs this guy's MK Snake.
All the matches were extremely close.

Also, throughout the whole tourney he used both Samus and Falcon evenly. He'd use Samus one match and Falcon the next. regardless of the match up.

Jab cancels were on point.
Finished a few sets with the knee.
Punished lag with Falcon punch here and there (lol not really but still).

I only faced him on the lag tv but he (some how) didn't notice the lag.

He rep'd the low tiers better than I did lol.

 

[infomon]

lol sounds pretty epic all-around

also, LOL @ show me your moose!

 

[ithrowthings]

Just got back from Midwest regional championships... Full of fail in the brackets but MAN my MM's were on. Did a crapton of 1$ MM's, even MM'ed the guy who knocked me out of winner's and beat him on his counterpick. I think there's some vids of me MMing Overswarm like my 3rd time that tourney. Any money I won from MM's pretty much went to pay for MMing Overswarm.

Also MM'ed omniswell's IC... that crap is too good. I got him on smashville to time but my 2nd and 3rd matches got a little impatient... I don't think there's much Sonic can do against Lain's and Omni's IC... Lain literally CG'd from 30-death without looking at the screen....

Anyhoo, I'm goin to COT4 in eastern's regionals and should probably do MUCH better there.
