Sonic Tournament Results CHANGING THIS TITLE

[thecatinthehat]

Well I played D1.

Boxob played half a friendly with M2K, and went even with PC Chris.

 

[memphischains]

OBM (G&W) and Fatal (Snake) are both better than me.

There's a bunch of others around my level, too. Nuro (Snake), Green Ace (Yoshi), Darc (counterpicking jerkface). We'll do our best to give Sir PikaPika a run for his money

Well that's some steak stuff right there.

So yeah, I wouldn't hang over a low placing. I didn't even make it out of pools for CoT4, but it was a blast playing all the different people.

CiTH, did you tell Malcolm to "Spinshot moar" irl?!

 

[thecatinthehat]

Well, 49th out of 97 is decent enough. At least I'm improving.

You meant to use the word "ceases", not "seizes"

Ah well I'm still learning how to grammar, thx Fizzy.

Also that picture is "TOO GOOD!"

4th of 36 in an all falcon tournament (LOL?)

I hate Diddy, that is all.

Also, I think they recorded tons of videos at this tournament, snakes were destroyed.

I just thought I'd say something about this since everybody has been ignoring you for whatever reason.

YEZS!

Needz moar naner control, hehe. You did your best though, and I'm sure that's just as good.

Go show those scrubs Tenki, and take your 3rd victory in a row.

You say you suck, but we all know how modest of a God you are. Or at least the informative God of Steak, KASR14 was just your supervisor or something like that.

But who cares, just go for the experience, there might actually be good people there. XD

I hate Diddy, that is all.

Oh I missed this. I rly think Sonic should have the advantage over Diddy, but you must spend a loooong time learning the matchup!! You have to learn how to be: ithrownanners

And I wants vids! Have they posted any yet? Where'll they go?

SL: I still have trouble spinshotting as well..... like I think I can do it consistently, then I try it when it matters and my timing's all a mess lolfail

 

[Nixernator]

Well went to my first brawl tourney on Sunday and came equal 25th out of about 45 people or so. Got beaten in winners by the guy who came 4th using Marf (crapped my pants I hate Marth) and then had a really close match against a lucario (I died off the top after we traded hits of my Uair and his Dair with both of us on about 110% on the last stock). Tho most of the people I played there were amazed how good I was with Sonic (lots of LOL PLAY METAKNIGHT) and many were shocked when they found out I'd been playing for like 2 months.

 

[Napilopez]

Good Job Nix! Especially if you've only been playing for such a short time period.

 

[da K.I.D.]

moral of the story?

dont go against lucarios down air

 

[infomon]

dont go against lucarios down air

Oh awesome, I'm not the only one who thinks this.

I mean, you can beat his Dair if you're going fast enough with good timing/spacing, but then the Lucarios just don't Dair in those situations since you can kinda see them coming.

but mebbe I'm just predictable. cuz I am

 

[da K.I.D.]

why go through it when you can go around it?

Lol, yeps, agreed. To beat Lucario's Dair, you need to have your own Uair perfectly spaced, and hit with the second hit of Uair, which just doesn't come out quick enough. Like KID said, better to go around it

 

[ShadowLink84]

SL: I still have trouble spinshotting as well..... like I think I can do it consistently, then I try it when it matters and my timing's all a mess lolfail

Five minutes of practicing and I spinshot like a pro.
*nod nod*
You lose what you do not use.

 

[Camalange]

Lucario's Dair is only a problem when he uses it to punish a spotdodge or something...

In the air...

Uair >>>>>>> Dair

Well, that is, if he get's predictable with it. If you notice a Lucario pulling out Dairs as he's falling a lot, or as his main defense in the air, you should easily be able to beat it out with Uair.

That's my experience anyway.

EDIT: Oh, and congrats Nix :D

1. cutter (GW)

3. messiahfreak (Sonic/MK)
4. Sabre (Fox/Kirby)

This was some of the most fun I've ever had. cutter's GW is a toughie, went the full five sets for winners finals. So awesome.

On a side, I am a bit ashamed I went MK in my match against my bro (llow) but I wanted to win bad (but ended up losing ). Darn you brother... On another side note, placed 2nd in doubles. Sonic is too awesome in doubles.

 

[Nixernator]

Lol I thought I had spaced my Uair but brawl was like "nah you deserve to die for using Sonic", the guy I was playing couldn't figure out how I got hit . Pity I live in Ausfailia tho no wifi and the next tourny is more than a month away.

Thanks all :D

[Kinzer]

Ah, I've been so GD lazy, I can't believe I didn't make up my little tale of how I did at the tourney Monday when right now it is THURSDAY!

Uhm, regardless, if some of you were paying attention (don't worry if you don't apply to this), I went to another one of the Monday weeklies here in Vegas, of course I did the usual friendly matches, got to meet some more people again, participate in the tourney and blah blah blah.

But this one's different in a way, let me tell you. Man I wish you guys could've seen me when I was kicking arse, my first round was against some Bowser player who got destroyed. I don't remember how it went down but the first match on Final D I won. He CP Weegee's, and God knows why he did that when he was Bowser and I was Sonic. Either I was missing something/he liked the stage/Bowser has a territory advantage on Sonic, but it didn't matter really, the only thing thar happened here was that it prolonged his loss. I was freaking jab-locking him every other attack, and I could not for whatever reason finish him off as quickly as I wanted, but I still won. I felt so sorry for the guy because I had to play Gay even though it was not my main intention, but it did work afterall, and I had to do what I had to do to win. Spectators acknowledged that, and the TO was even clowning around, saying out loud "Kinzer! Wow man, you're a jerk! XD"

And then I hate to admit it, but there was this guy who approached me, and it seemed like I met him before but I didn't know who teh heck he was. I am not good at remembering people but anyway, he and I were talking a lot about me, like how and why I did what I did in that match, how I have the potential to take Sonic very far, and some other related stuff.

We get interrupted, and I get called for my next match. It was teh dasterly Martha. So here I am standing and thinking "hmm, the very character who a lot of my brethren give ngihtmares to, huh? Alright, let's just see if it might be matchup specific or what else I could do to see that nothing can stand in Sonic's ways, especially not a sexually confused man/woman!" At least that's what I thought after, while I was waiting for the guy to come to the T.V., so here I am inputting my tag and the specific controls for it (if you're curious, I have Y set to shield so I can Shieldgrab easier). Once that's taken care of, I just go to the character selection screen and spam "Meta Knight!", and the guy finally shows up and says "oh you got to be kidding me!" I was like "Lol. XD" at his reaction and how he must really hate even seeing the character. I tell him I was just joking and later proceeded to go over to Sonic, and then he said "oh good, I thought you played Sonic with the Wiimote anyway, but what ahppened to that?" I tell him how even though I probably still could use the Wiimote, it just isn't comfortable anymore. With that out of the way, we go to our first match on Final D, he just barely won that shizz and I'm like "aww, I got to step it up!" so then I pick Corneria. Soemhow I knew the Marth would try to play gay, so I worked around it and had to make him play legit, which didn't help him either way, I still won the match. Finally we're on the third and last match of the set, I'm sitting here thinknig what stage he'll take me to and how hard of a time I mgiht have if I don't adapt and read him right, but to my surprise he CPs Wario and goes to Weegee's mansion. I'm sitting here and thinking "wait, he's going Wario? That's one of my counters ****it! And now that he wants to go to Weegee's I'm going to get ***** :/" Reghardless, I stay true to the Blue and just go along with his CPs... and to my surprise, I was doing better than I would've expected myself to. Sure I couldn't be Gay like I did that Bowser in my first round and Jab-Lock him because apparently you don't need Tech skill in Brawl and just crazy Australian DI to land far enoguh away from my jab, but it wasn't as bad as I was presuming it to be, really. In the end, it was a very close match, but I still won. Yay! Now that that is taken care of, I fear no character selectinos on the roster, and i am confident I can do fine in all of my matches if I work hard at it. I still need to fight some other characters more, but at least I don't have to worry about anybody winning a set against me because of character selection.

Anyway that's gone and taken care of, I report the win to my TO, and move on in the bracket... or rather from that poibt on start losing my sets because of stupid miSteaks that I promise to myself and all of you I will never make again to hinder my placing in a tourney. When I go to this tourney Saturday there is nothing stopping me from placing, and seriously this time... well except maybe Sakurai but whatever I still got it!

Back to the tourney, the tourney was dobule elimination, and sadly I lost the next two matches in a row, but I forgot how one of the sets ended. It must've not really been important, but I do remember my set with Technomonster. Perhaps some of you might've seen/heard of him around on SWF/AiB, and maybe not, but anyway Techno lives in Vegas, and he's a pretty good player. I can't say for sure what characters he likes to play, but in our sets he went Wario/Kirby. The set with his Wario was on Yoshi's isle. Long sotry short I could only avoid him for so long before I must've slipped up somewhere or he read me right and landed a kill move to win the set. It was still very close, so I am still speaking the truth when I say Wario no logner gives me too much trouble. So after that I CP Corneria again, I figure I could play gayer than him and use the blast zones to my advantage, and the next thing I know is that he picks Kirby. I thought he was suppose to do awful on that stage! Why would he want to do something like that? I know not why the decision was made, but IDC, it's a tournament, and you do what you got to do... it's just too bad I still didn't beat him. I @#$%ing SDR suicided when I was a stock ahead GD it! Now I know never to use ASC when I can't see the stage and my 2nd jump is gone, it's going to be Side-B from now on in that case. At last the hop will save me for sacrificing the damage and losing the risk of making such a stupid miSteak again! I was angry at the time so I didn't really feel like doing anything with Techno since I probably could've won otherwise, but oh well. I really try to be a good person but it's so depressing when you know... but meh no johns, I just have to get a rematch with Techno, with both his Wario and his kirby, so that next time I can put him in his rightful place! ^_^

So what I am trying to tell you guys is that if you're in doubt, never lose faith, or that's the first step to losing. No matter how stacked the odds might be against you, if I can overcome such obstacles by being a better player and not messing up in key ponits in matches, anything is possible. I've defeated Lucario, Marth, and Wario, all of which is suppose to be bad matchups for Sonic! There is nothing that can hold you back when you strive to be the better player! It's all about being patient when you need to! I never want to read on this forum that you can't, because if I could do it, I know you people can to!

West Coast/Sonic represent!

Oh BTW I remembered the other set, it was a Snake player, I 2-stocked him on the second match where I CPed final D and analyzed his habits/playstyles, all I'm gonna say is I hate that broken Utilt, and I still have a little ways to go before I can become my own Snake counter.

[JayBee]

I just got 17th at the Gamepad tourney today. there were over 40 people there. though i didn't do like i thought i should have, I confirmed a disgusting tactic I've theorized and its going to change the way we counter pick stages with sonic. Ill post the info in my lab tonight. trust me, you need to read it.

 

[Orange_Soda_Man]

I quit sonic boards. I failed hardcore at MM.

I know I never really posted much here, but I'm simply just not good enough. I do plenty fine locally. I'm getting better. But playing at a huge event, like one with over 100 people?

I did everything I could. I brought a set-up. I practiced many hours to get fox trotting down [all I can do at this point is nail it 1/2 the time and hope I'm facing the right way for a dash attack].

I practiced Counter Picks, read matchups, joined in discussion [although I'm clearly not knowledgeable to add anything of ... any significance / anything that you guys can't say much better]

In short, I'm not leaving Sonic. Odds are, I'm not leaving the state I'm in to play smash for a few years. When, hopefully, I'm much better. I'll still play, and maybe if something is bogging me down I'll ask a question here [very sparsely though].

Now the actual tournament report: I played a snake R1 and took him to Frigate [because I lolfail for forgetting about rainbow cruise] and match two with that memory in place, and with no rainbow cruise exp except against G&W I ended up SD-ing the 3rd stock while leading against a TL because of trying to spring through the checkered slope where the boat docks.

I'll never be as steak as you. I'm just soda.

 

[Player-3]

Tenki completely butt****ed me at the tourny today.

that is all.

[Tenki]

lol I got ***** by BigLou's Luigi. 2222 good :d

I might have prolonged that match until the end if I didn't scrub out against a ROB the second round and get sent to losers (Lou was sent to losers by Desu and counterraped when they met up in the semifinals o__O; ). The funny part is that on my 2nd or 3rd round in Losers Bracket, I fought his ROB again and steak'd it.

Then I fought his Ness on FD and chaingrabbed him across the stage who knows how many times (yarr it's legit) and failed who knows how many edgeguard attempts (and got nesstackled out of my spring, LOL).

as for tags, my official tag was Steak, though I never used it.

Tenki's Match Summaries:
Match 1, I used SX580. I played slow at first to test to see if I could actually pull a SX580 IRL and decided that it would probably be the stupidest idea ever.
Match 2, I used Espy (lol sorry) and lost against ROB.
Match 3, I used Boxob and boxobair'd Lucario.
Match 4, I used CITH against Omis (lol sorry) and knocked him out.
Match 5, I used Umby's tag (lolol turned tap jump off) and revenge'd vs ROB/ness.
Match 6, I felt like I was going to lose because I'd played against BigLou online before, so I finally went as Tenki and died.

:3

i'm not sure if results are up yet.

ggs ggs, wish I coulda played against Desu and P1 though.

I did learn some things though:

1) I suck at Brawl:YI. I tried doing some iSDR shenanigans, but it was usually met with shield > projectile.
2) I need a better dashing game. =/ Like, running behind people actually works with Sonic, since IRL, people don't just throw out moves when you're approaching because of the risk of shield+OoS counters. Umby has quite a nice dash game. He got a few openings using it, though he didn't always catch them.
3) I need to deal with getting pressured better. Against BigLou, I kept innerfacepalming at how much I spring D-aired x.x;

 

[Napilopez]

I quit sonic boards. I failed hardcore at MM.

You're just failing at confidence!

Don't give up. You're not going to get better until you start playing better people. I've just realized I've gotten wayyyy better by player a single good player in person. I haven't been to a tourney recently, but just from paying others its clear how much of an improvement I've made, maybe someone whos played my Sonic in the past week or two can attest to that.

Don't give up dude. I know you said you're just gonna stop going to large tourneys, but part of that is for the expereince too. Have fun. Sometimes, all the training and practice doesn;t come to show as immediately as you'd like. But it'll come. Its just a matter of time.

Also, GJ at your tourneys guys.

I killed the thread with it though. XD Oh well, SK's birthday Brawl Bash out to be cool. If Ken's comnig I could give him that MM he wanted, I'll bring a little bit more money with me and my Sonic has made phenominal improvement since.
