The Best Players.....again

[Vegard]

I had an introspective moment thinking this a while back.

Tryhard Cactuar doesn't exist at the moment.

I used to be more motivated to improve, but at some point I lost a lot of confidence in my play and since then I haven't wanted to put in that kind of effort and possibly lose. I also didn't really get to practice against anyone who was relevant to the metagame other than M2K outside of tournaments. So instead I **** around a lot and continue to use my 3 year old style, and refuse to improve/eliminate the weak areas in my gameplay.

Basically, I succumbed to the idea of just playing for fun. I'm just not the player I was 2-3 years ago unfortunately. I probably still have the underlying composition as a player to be a potential top level threat, but it is unlikely that I'll put in the required effort to get there.

Spoiler

Or maybe I'll switch to Jigglypuff and be a tremendous d-bag to everyone.

same old story over and over.

what a horrible attitude. Let all the people you played lately in tournament know of this. Why are you even telling us this? Can't you guys simply attend tournaments and say you play your best instead of making everyone else feel bad cause you're claming you're not trying or not motivated to play.

I'm so tired of this.

lol at least he's being honest instead of showing up to events and pretending like he's still giving it his all. that's way more disrespectful imo.



and @ cacutuars post - DUH LOL

 

[Sinji]

I agree with Lovage. At least he's honest. that was kinda cruel.

Back to Dashizwiz. What about him?

If you think tournaments is only about winning then omg.. you are missing out on so much.

your playstyle looks virtually airtight sometimes cactuar. I know i really want to see you play well. You probably don't remember me, but i was at pound. I came over while you were playing against thumbs. after my ganon got bodied by him for a few rounds, you left.

in any case, have fun with the game on your own terms, but know also that you have at least one fan of your playstyle. watching your set vs hax (especially matches 3 and 4) was awesome.

as for shiz, does that guy even play smash anymore?

 

[Cactuar]

stuff

You statement was really already responded to by the others. There are more reasons to go to tournaments than "omfg i gotta play my hardest and beat everybody and win this ****". I was giving a legit response to someone mentioning me in this thread, detailing why I am no longer a top level player. I don't claim any excuses/johns, but I do give reasons to try and explain why I have fallen behind. It's not a sob story. I like where I am as a player.

I still try in tournament... I am just not as consistently good as I used to be.

@Bl@ckChris:

Thanks dude, I really appreciate it! Sometimes I get into a really nice flow and I start playing on point (to my standard anyway), but I can't keep it up like a lot of the current players who really put the time into the game and practice can. Purely a stamina issue in those cases. Damn youngsters having all that youth n ****. Lotta respect for them either way.

But yeah, people can still catch moments of me playing like I'm hopped up on all kinds of... inspiration... here and there.

Yea he still plays smash. I was watching a florida tourney back in March with him and Colbol.

[Everlasting Laughter]

To be fair to everyone else they likly aren't use to that high level of play for that many years I could see them getting burnt out a little no matter what and besides we all know Catuar loves him them ladies.

Maybe low tiers would give you that try hard veiw like mango did (did he place top 5 at a large tournment with mario anyways?) or he just got bored of teh falco/puff.

Well he's having fun and not starting fires so all is well.

Top 4 ideas

Armada isn't the best hasn't beaten newer pp and maybe mango is better so from 2-4.

H-box again loses to mango pp so 3-4 maybe 4 if aramada just wins more as young link.

PP beats them both more resently but mango is so debatable it is possible pp is 2nd but is more likly 1st


Mango all up in the air

 

[Cactuar]

Haha. I do love me some low tiers...

Mebbe I should be bringin out dat Roy PHIER

 

[Everlasting Laughter]

Cactuar you need someone hard to play as because they are so unbelievely terrible like ness or master hand or just play those worse match ups in the game like dk vs falco.

I mean roy has that ph3ire it's not even fair.

 

[Vegard]

i didn't say anything like that at all. Obviously everyone can't go around thinking they're capable of winning all the time lol

 

[Sinji]

What about Silent Spectre? Looking forward in seeing him in action at Genesis 2.

 

[crush]

[KILLA.FOR.CASH.]

it's easy to underestimate him because people talk crap on him all day and he uses doc

cactuar, you probably don't remember me. but youre mad tight. **** the haters lol.

 

[Everlasting Laughter]

Cactuar is like goku in the sense he wants Earth to defend itself against aliens(canadains, armada, and the like). He is only going super sayain to show the lower fighters whats up even if he's not human himself he believe in us *tear of inspirment*

 

[Divinokage]

[Strong Badam]

Cactuar: Are you going to Genesis 2?

 

[Sinji]

[Armada]

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=304755

To be honest he stoped playing when he´s control stoped working =/.

I actually played against Calle W yesterday and I know he´s much better than he´s placement there (And against Nedech he played Ganon or something I think).

But it´s close between number 2-4 in Sweden but I hope Calle W start playing more again.

 

[Divinokage]

Calle W has a Ganon? lol.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

it's PAL.

nobody has a ganon.

 

[crush]

Its like fighting a marth!

 

[Bl@ckChris]

that can't combo or tip fsmash...

so glad for NTSC ganon...

Hah, yeah I wasn't trying to say he actually was as bad as his placing. It was just to show that he doesn't dominate to the same extent you do

 

[crush]

Is calle w or leffen going to genesis 2?

 

[Armada]

Stelzig: I see just wanted to mention to the others cause they maybe only saw the results and didn´t know the fact.

Crush: Leffen is going =)

 

[Beat!]

Leffen gonna rep dat Swedish pride.













When Armada isn't busy doing so, I mean.

 

[hungrybox]

[Dr Peepee]

Hbox has touched up his stuff. I dunno if any low tiers will be able to handle it this time. =)

I'm still comin for everyone at Genesis though. WANT THAT BELT

We really don't need to know what HBox may or may not be touching in his spare time. Especially not if it pertains to small boys like Young Link.

Seriously man kids visit this board wtf is wrong with you.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Well, what do you expect from a professional urologist?
