Exactly. That's why I always train against lvl 3 cpus. Lvl 9 ones are just too hard to beat =/

Gravy just a warning, regardless how good you think you are, 95% of people get wrecked at their first tourney so dont be discouraged if it happens. Look at your first few as learning experiences.
Good advice. Human intuition is limited by hindsight bias and overconfidence, so I'm trying to be more objective. Besides, for the first few tournaments I would want to be there for the experience.

Also, CPUs are just so weird. Excessive powershielding and instant reaction time kinda makes them difficult. I kinda wish there was a hack or mod that made CPUs more human-like. Or at least have them not die every single time delfino changes.

I actually 3 stock any lvl9 almost everytime i play them, sometimes 2 stock. After you learn how to mess with the cpu's mind its easy hahaha.

Even though they'll PS stuff and punish you hard, lvl 9's are still going to airdodge after every hit/throw/anything. It's pretty easy to start and keep a chain on them.

if you only abuse the obvious flaws of the computer than you dont really learn anything from fighting them.

its better for you to avoid using things like that to beat them (if you are going to actually use cpus to train) and fight them in other ways.

that way it helps you to learn more and better faster.

you only need to practice punishing airdodges so much...

Rampardos is a glass cannon. He can hit hard, but he cannot take hits. I bet anyone who withstood parmpardos's attacks killed him next turn with a STAB move. Or anyone faster, even with choice scarf, there are others faster than him. Still, good stuff.

For any falcos going to tournaments today, good luck to you.

I plan to take first in teams playing with the best Ike in the world (san).

And I think I will be placing in the money in singles too.

I will see what I can do about getting some of my Falco-on-Brinstar goodness recorded for you guys to see what Im talking about.

Rampardos sucks even though he has one of the best attack stats in the game

His defenses and speed are just too bad
the moment a rock type priority move comes along tho....


anyways, I love how everone missed the point of my earlier post and jumped on my Avvy XD

unfortunately due to a black out, I was not able to team with san for our tourney, because we had to cancel that one event.

However, I did make sure to get 2 videos of me whomping on one of the ranked mks in my region on brinstar.

if you search san3711 on YT, thats sans account and hopefully he'll have the videos up in a couple days.


EDIT: I dont know whats better right now, hippiedudes post, or his avatar.

:) you may know the ditto specific tactics better but I know how to use stages and be hella gay better than you ;)

Next time we play, you can teach me a few ditto specific tactics and ill teach you how to be gayer / smarter :)

Good games, don't be too salty, falco dittos are ********.

I actually know how to be really gay w/ Falco I just don't do it for some reason LOL

I used to be too gay with Falco, so people would just exploit the predictability and I had no real answer. Now I'm trying to phase that stuff back into my game, with not very much success because I don't get to play very often (don't own a Wii + play twice to three times a month outside of tournies tops).

Yeah I would always go Snake vs. a Falco, unless said Falco is a better player then I try to get the falco ditto and pray for the CG.
