Seibrick or however you spell his name >_>...

Has a pretty funny sheik haha. I saw him kinda **** when I went to FL.

Then saw him get ***** by Linguini lawl.
omg bro he is so good. We did really well together double sheik team combos are mad funny.
He recently played linguini and it was close. he lost 1-2. but 2 weeks before that he 3 stocked rockcrock in a mm. he is just too good!

its weird that the game differences make that much of a difference between them
In PAL for every mistake I make I get a 90% combo and I die at about 130%..
For every mistake Armada makes he gets a 30% combo and dies at about 180%..
On top of that, the higher his percentage, the harder it is to land a killing blow because he can just stay in his shield for as long as he wants to...

It's almost impossible to win..really..

The only difference in NTSC is the kill percentage instead of being able to kill him at 180% he dies at about 120% and because he's actually scared of getting grabbed, it's easier to pressure him at high percentages to force mistakes. (But it's still not in Sheiks favor if you ask me, it's still 90% vs 30% per mistake)

You'll see when the vids come out, I'd love for you guys to give me some advice because I'm absolutely clueless as to what I could've done to not get ***** like that..(Though that might change if I watch the vids as well)

ya hhe plays from time to time not to often but will every so often
You should host an NTSC tourney in Europe, just so you can beat Armada consistently again

im an amsah fanboy whats your point?:laugh:

isn't armada just retardly good vs sheik?
anyway i played xif a couple of months back and did pretty good. he agrees that while it is a close match up(in ntsc) its slightly in sheiks favor and a agree fully. between needles and sheiks aerials and her grab its not in peach's favor imo. Peach does well but i dont feel she is at an advantage(maybe because all i care do is camp and play the hit and run game) In our version I feel sheik has alot more guaranteed stuff than peach plus sheik doesnt die very easily since peach lacks a good kill move. She doesnt even gimp sheik that well.

But i feel for you in pal cause thats some bull ****!
also i find it funny how i disagree with you on alot of things lmao

Dammit, it's not a John since you admitted Peach >> Sheik..:embarrass

Yes, he's really good vs Sheik, but that's not the whole story.

At a higher level that changes completely.

Guaranteed combo's don't tip the scales in Sheiks favor. Especially when a Peach can combo you for 3 times the amount of damage with little effort.

Plus sheik doesnt die very easily since peach lacks a good kill move. She doesnt even gimp sheik that well.
This is so wrong I can't even begin to explain.

xif is a pretty high level peach but eh i dont get gimped by peach the way fox can do it. lol what kill move does peach have. Its nothing like falcons knee of fox's up smash. Falco's f smash. I live rather long vs peach.
its ok its your opinion i just dont agree with it :)

funny thing i think on the new match up chart they put it in sheiks favor

i mean, armada is ridiculously fast with punishes so maybe the matchup chart doesn't apply. but on a serious note, i don't see how sheiks win that much.

particularly when u get trapped, u have no way to escape the fc fair/nair approach cause they can jab, grab, or dsmash ur options and u can't jump over them cause sheik's horizontal movement is garbahj. and if ur on the ledge u can forget it too. from a grab, sheik *****, but idk, seems fairly even in ntsc unless ur amazing with grabs. . .

High is relative, but yeah, I meant someone like or close to Armada.

Also, you don't get gimped, but edge guarded form 30-ish% to death. And she can kill you with her nair, fair, bair, uair, dsmash, usmash (in some cases), fthrow or turnips.

I'm almost positive I'll live longer than you against any and every Peach, so I'm not sure what your point is there..

So, recently I've been involved in a Smash related event for my school =D and got 250 dollars credit for Gamestop.

So question, what should I get?

I'm spending 30 on a classic controller for my friend

So I have 220 dollars to blow absolutely recklessly.

I have a DS, Wii, PS2.

Thinkin about gettin a PSP worth it? Not worth it?

Any suggestions?

yes edge guarded is the correct term :) You will only die(ko not coming up short on the recovery) at higher % stage dependent of course. And your right armada>xif no secret excuse me for that one. My point being sheik can live long although if your getting edgeguraded it doesnt really matter lmao. Lets just leave it at that my friend

i was thinking of getting a psp myself but it was just to play old school games like ff7. um psp has an ok line up of games but as far as systems go i dont think its all that great. the ds is far superior imo

wtf johns everywhereeeeeeeeeeee

shiek beats peach always has always will

PAL is a different tale, the version sucks anyway for shiek, i would be bottom tier in europe

but still peach is a pretty terrible character, she is just too slow for the rest of the cast

armada seems pretty smart, fast and reads pretty **** well and knows how to survive

but it is still peach and she is terrible, wait for a move and grab her then its gg.

even my rusty *** could take out armada, amash no johns

his point

Actually, his Inui logic is quite infallible
I can't tell if he's serious or trying to be funny..

Either way, comparing two different people isn't the same as comparing someone's secondary to his main. Especially in this case because Armada's favorite match up is Falco IIRC and he still does better than my main (even though my Falco's a million times worse).

rolf drephen my hero :)

lol amsah has a falco right? i think i saw a match with him playing m2k's marth and he did pretty good. might have won if he decided to invest time into falco.

But falco<sheik fack that character.

also peach isnt a terrible character. I think she just not as good as fox marth or sheik

Amsah, here's a few steps to beat Armada next time you fight him in Grand Finals.

1) Go spam K-on Season 2 (Dear god Ritsu is amazing in that show)

2) Tell Armada you have dreads.

3) Put Azu/Yui tag on.

4) Profit.
