Geno, interested? We should all play sometime this week. I'm super rusty and won't have much schoolwork after today.

So, I'm confused. What is wrong with $1 tournaments again? haha
This

I used to try to do $1 or practice tournaments all the time. The last like 6 months, every time I try to do them, almost everyone just groans or complains and doesn't want to. :\ I would like to do more as well, but it has seemed like no one is interested and it makes people not even want to come when I try to do that.

It's really lame, actually... but since the majority always act that way, I haven't even bothered to do them recently. Honestly I feel like they help improve you A LOT and I feel like I am rustier right now because of us not doing them for the last 6 months at least :\


I will RUN to St. Louis for a $1 tourney.

Yeah, I only want to do $1 tourneys because my only motivation is to take everyone's money. I'm just a huge **** and am only interested in making the huge profit associated with $1 tournaments. I have no interest in bettering the overall skill of our community or anything like that.




Seriously though, that isn't even it anyway. I thought maybe somehow people were stingy about their $1, but even when I tried to do free practice tournaments, people didn't want to do them.




I did all of those back in the day when I first got my camera, then people just didn't ever want to do them anymore.

No it was usually because we used to have larger smash fest and no one really felt like waiting around for sets to play out.

I still dont care for 1$ tournaments or anything, It's not really going to make me play harder or anything. I just try my best in every friendly, thats just as good and effective.

Go for it if you guys want it though

I think we should do either $1 or free tonight, I don't care either way, but I think mini-tournaments will be one of the best ways to continue to improve.

I agree Corey, I try hard in all my friendlies too. Maybe I'm supporting the mini-tournies because I haven't experienced it and don't really know if it's better or not.

I just wanna try it, I guess.

the only thing good about free tourneys is you get practice counterpicking

i play a lot but rarely do i get to try out stuff on stupid stages for matchups in my advantage

aka bin bin ***** me on kongo 64 EVERY TIME GODDDD

Dude it's soooooooooo awesome that we finally made it on the MLG circuit.


Also I think it's extremely useful to play in sets because not only do you get to practice counter picking stages and characters, but you get to understand the importance of winning neutrals / playing differently because something is on the line, even if it's only $1. The stress is useful to work under and it gets you used to the environment and helps you memorize what stages / characters are best or worst in which environments and why.

Hey, I'll be there next week most likely Will, since next week is my Spring Break. Do a $1 tourney then, cuz I could use the cash I love serious practice.

it should be MELEEEEEEE THATS WHYYYY

actually i don't think either game is that good for just being a spectator, but I unsurprisingly prefer melee

SC and hopefully SC2 are freakin sick to watch though


hahahha and yeah

i just dont get that metagame ****.. espescially at an overall level. Sometimes i **** around with parts of metagame but to tackle it OVERALL = gosu

may not have told you all, but I used to be pretty legit at Soul Calibur 2 and 3.

made dozens of dollars at tourneys lol. Xianghua="JUST KIDDING" spam

of course all that skill has wasted away over the last 4 years to the point I'm back to being a scrub (dekuscrubby?)
