In the beginning you were but we didn't get too many matches in after that so you might've been more consistent after you warmed up.

Uh, yeah. I was exponentially better after I played Roman. Honestly, I was the most comfortable playing against Roman because of his aggressive play style, and I definitely feel like I played at my highest level against him in singles.

@Wretched You're definitely better than I thought you'd be. Sheik is the only character I really play. Sometimes I'll mess with Falco or Marth and think I'll secondary one of them sometime but right now I focus a lot of my extra time on Sheik. Which is why I suck so bad with anyone but Sheik.

Nah, you were good with everyone you used. Even Pichu.
Honestly, though, your Sheik was the only time I had to think about everything I did. Every other match was in robot mode, yet when I thought about what I was doing against your Sheik, you still managed to pull a 2~ stock win with Sheik most of the time.

Ziv, here is that thread about the documentary.

Oh thank you thank you for the link, I almost forgot about it.

 

[Zantetsu]

Tell me whatcha think

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Tell me whatcha think

Looks amazing. I think I'm gonna donate $50 to it sometime.

 

[>Bert<]

Yea I fully agree with Ziv. I'm gonna donate as much money towards them as possible.

Oh, guys, more about last night...
There might have been an illusion as to how good I am, but then again, skill is an illusion, and winning is all that matters.
Anyways, the only reason I could actually get stocks off of you guys is because you haven't played a Falcon and you don't change up your roll patterns.
Zilv was actually good about changing his roll patterns, which means it was hard for me to predict because it was pretty random. Terrance, being a defensive player, ALWAYS on the first Dthrow rolls backwards. After the second one, he rolls back again. Next, he rolls towards me, unless we're at the edge. Usually when I'd get to the fourth Dthrow, he would have mixed it up a little bit, but the fact that your first 3 rolls are always the same definitely worked to my advantage.
Zantetsu is aggressive to no end, so he'd get up in place if we were in the middle of the stage, and roll towards me if we were somewhat close to the edge. He would never roll away, which worked to my advantage a lot of the time.

And, I don't know how you guys will take this, but we REALLY need to step up our game. I will attend everything that I physically can, but you guys should know...
Almost EVERYONE in SoVa would stomp all of us. They all 4 stocked me every match. With that being said, we definitely need to play more so that isn't the case and so we can put ourselves on the competitive map.

 

[_Yes!_]

Anyone wanna team with me for melee? i'm okay, Michael or Terry can vouch for me

 

[Wretched]

You main Fox?
Who do they refer to you as?

 

[_Yes!_]

I main fox, can use ganon, the other top tiers (besides jiggs), and falcon if i'm having a good day lol

 

[Wretched]

I'd love to team with a fox if you want to start teaming.

 

[_Yes!_]

Sounds good! I'm not crazy technical though. Hard to describe.

 

[Wretched]

Its cool. We're prolly at the same level soooo we'll work well together.

 

[_Yes!_]

You're probably better, I hardly play lol. Who do you use?

 

[Wretched]

FAAALCON.
Yeah, I use Captain Falcon. He is the only character that I will ever play. (and sometimes peach in teams).
Also, HOW DO YOU HARDLY PLAY AND HAVE 8,000+ POSTS?

 

[_Yes!_]

been here since 2006, and i was active from 2008-2009 in brawl. (don't worry, i know how to play melee ) but i kinda stopped playing often in 2010/2011 and now it's just pathways if i go lol.

 

[Wretched]

I can teach you how to be technical, if you want. Honestly, my knowledge of tech skill surpasses my ability to use it, but I am a good teacher.

 

[_Yes!_]

eh it's a patience/discipline thing. i never cared for it even when i was an active melee player. i think my playstyle makes up for it. ask ziv he knows.

 

[Zantetsu]

Like I said, my defense needs a lot of work. I do agree that my tech chasing paterns need work, and now that you're here and you noticed the mistakes, I can work on improving that.
It's very awesome that you're so willing to improve yourself and our crew. We need people like that. Like I said in the last post, don't scrub out and not play every weekend. We really need more players.

Also, funny fact. Michael may think your looks resemble Strong Bad, even though I don't, you remind me of him with your focus on game knowledge and getting "into" the game. We need someone like that. Now.. Go learn frame data, sort through the bull****, and teach me the important stuff, lol.

 

[Terry]

I wanna be the very best

 

[Wretched]

I already know a bit about frame data.
Want me to learn some **** about Fox? I will do this.

 

[_Yes!_]

shine is frame awesome
upsmash is frame amazing

that's all we need.

 

[Wretched]

All of foxes moves are useful. The only one that might be KINDA bad is fair.

 

[Terry]

^ All you really need to know tbh ^

 

[-Sinister-]

fox's fsmash blows. useless when you have his d/u smashes.

 

[_Yes!_]

It's fun for 2006 mindgames :D

 

[Wretched]

None of you do da choo choo? Where you get across the stage by fmashing...

 

[Massive]

fox's fsmash blows. useless when you have his d/u smashes.

The fsmash hitbox goes forward and down far enough that it is useful for ledge-guarding characters that don't sweet spot the edge.

dmac uses it pretty extensively to punish slight timing mismatches on jiggs/marth/falcon recoveries.

 

[-Sinister-]

isn't that what downsmash is for?

 

[Massive]

If you like to trade hits and time a shorter hit window, sure.

 

[>Bert<]

Put up Falco's forward smash Massive for comparison.

And Fox's dsmash...

 

[_Yes!_]

I prefer to fsmash or angle ftilt with fox. dsmash is always disappointing.

in reality though, i'd rather jump out offstage and shinespike.

 

[-Sinister-]

If you like to trade hits and time a shorter hit window, sure.

i think you're missing that you can dsmash and hit sweetspots, or you can fsmash and hope they **** up. if you're telling me that fsmash is better for edgeguarding than dsmash, you know nothing.

 

[Strong Badam]

it's not better, but less difficult to time. so some people do it when they don't really care whether or not they succeed & don't feel like timing it.

Wretched: you're going to get destroyed by me, real talk.

 

[Terry]

Chugga chugga chugga chugga

I am going to sleep with a pillow taped to my butt.

 

[Terry]

What can I do to improving my game?

 

[Zantetsu]

What can I do to improving my game?

Start by learning to English better.

 

[Wretched]

Start by learning to English better.

Milk just shot out of my nose and I wasn't even drinking milk.

Seriously, guys. And just to let you know, I destroyed the writing portion of my college placement test. So fuuuuuuu
