I'm a hardcore Smash Bros. fanatic. I have 100%ed Smash 64 and Melee (outside of the notifications for beating Adventure on the hardest difficulty with one stock and for playing more than 10,000 matches), and only need two more stickers and about 20 random trophies in Brawl (excluding the 100,000+ match notifications). I have been in a lot of Brawl tournaments at my library and practice against my sister and friends regularly. Last weekend, I spent about (no exaggeration) 20 hours playing Brawl. Normally, I would play with my sister in Brawl about two times a week for about 45 minutes, but I was having fun at a party (I don't need a life, this totally is one!).
There is a teacher at my school who was once a competitive Melee player. I got to face him last May, and brought him down to his final stock (and about 90%) before losing. He was certainly not in his best shape, but I consider this an impressive feat.
I spoke to this teacher a week ago, and he is interested in a rematch. The loser must buy the winner 50 McDonalds chicken nuggets, and deliver them during their lunch period. I never back down from a competition, so I accepted.
I went most of the summer without playing Smash Bros. at all (time taken up by Skyward Sword, Sly Cooper, and Assassin's Creed), and got back into it late August. However, I've only been playing Brawl. A lot of my friends play Melee, but they are not good at all. My sister, although performing well at Brawl tournaments, also sucks at Melee (partially because she uses a GCN controller in Brawl with completely customized controls). Therefore, I have no one to practice against before this match. Not to say that I ever did, I have ALWAYS played against CPU set to level 9 in Melee, but I am sure that the teacher I am fighting has improved since I last fought him.
I need pointers, and I need tips on how to improve by playing against no one but CPU. I have one friend who can take away one of my stock in a 4 stock match, but that is the best of anyone I know in Melee. There is a gaming club at my school, but the other people there don't even kill me.
I main as Marth, and can play as Luigi, Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, and Jigglypuff, though I don't feel even slightly comfortable with anyone other than Marth. My opponent plays as Fox, though I have seen him use Ganondorf and Link.
Also, I am going to be under pressure this time. It is possible that my sister and parents will be watching, and a close friend of mine will come if she can make it. I don't handle pressure well. I can get up and start to sing and dance in front of any of my classes with ease, but ask me to give a graded speech in front of any one of them and I just completely lose my voice and forget how to read note cards.
Any help at all would be appreciated. I have until December 21 (the end of the world!), but I can call the match on at any time.
