[Sim]

That's when an unknown player comes in and wins.

And becomes ranked 2nd. xD

 

[Mew2King]

Zhu > Lucky. I'm shocked at how many lists have Lucky and not Zhu.

ummm...you do know that lucky 3-0'd zhu at DGDTJ

 

[Nø Ca$h]

i thought zhu forfieted vs lucky at dgdtj

 

[#HBC | Mac]

yur not amsah

 

[strawhats]

yur not amsah

lol...i forgot that he's known for doing that.


brother amsah sama aka nihonjin (most bad *** name in the world)

 

[Merkuri]

ummm...you do know that lucky 3-0'd zhu at DGDTJ

Lucky may win the head to head, but Zhu outplaces or pulls even with him at every national tournament. The best examples are probably Genesis and Apex, with Zhu at 4 and 7th and Lucky 17th and 17th respectively. Zhu > Lucky. Lucky only out places Zhu at some California tournaments.

 

[choknater]

"some" california tournaments

some major recent regional/national tournament where he 3-0'd zhu

get at the kid.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

They're essentially tied on the SoCal PR.

 

[Nihonjin]

pp i dont know if im entering pound5 cuz it makes me suck at brawl but its annoying to hear when i lose to someone once they are suddenly better. They did it with KDJ immediately, PC (sometimes), Chu occasionally, Amsah, you, Armada, Hbox, Mango, like anyone that beats me or outranks me at a big tourney even if i have a great tourney record before then is now better but I have to outplace them many times to ever be considered better and i think that's unfair

Sorry..? I have out placed you at the only tournament we've been together, beat the person that kicked you out of the tournament and I have a better tourney record..

I'm not saying anything, just saying..

 

[choknater]

hahahahaha

 

[GREENTHUMB]

zhu has been losing it recently, he ain't as raw as he used to be. maybe he is just rusty or it's a mindset problem.

 

[strawhats]

head to head....i wonder who'd win you or m2k.


time will tell.

 

[silentSWAG]

somebody needs to make a list that everyone agrees on.....

m2k where do you think you rank on the list?

 

[Nihonjin]

head to head....i wonder who'd win you or m2k.

Another reason I'm going to Pound..=]

 

[lwouis]

I read Wobbles post, and felt sad that he didn't get recognized enough. So I went to Youtube to find this amazing match I remembered of him playing so beautifully.

But I found this instead lol. Don't take it bad though, I just found the end dead funny. I love you Wobbles if you read me. Keep up the unique and intellectual playstyle.

When I want to watch complex matches, I always turn to Wobbles, the amazing Hugs, or even HMW—this guy is not praised enough too. He's really a thoughtful player. A little defensive sometimes, but very clever playstyle. Oh and the three of them play lower-tiers characters, so thanks for entertaining the rest of us with interesting matchups

Oh God I almost forgot to thank HMW for his Youtube channel and commentary. He's helping Melee live outside of the US a great deal.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

yo amsah comin up in the thread with his swag on full blast.

i thoroughly approve.

 

[Amide]

Lol I think the PP>M2k argument is kinda different from the Amsah>M2k one. M2k beat the guy who sent PP to losers at rom 3, and lost the tournament by like one match, and this is like the only time he's been beaten by him. Not enough to change ranks yet I think, even if PP's control in the matches makes it look like he'll be placed above m2k soon.

 

[strawhats]

Plank is thinking about making Losers Semis a Round Robin affair so say its down to Armada, Amsah, PP/M2K, Hbox, and mango is in GFs they'll play whoever gets taken out in WFs.

 

[hungrybox]

That's when an unknown player comes in and wins.

And becomes ranked 2nd. xD

I think I actually outplace him in socal tournies but he sandbags wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hard at locals. imo he has a lot more potential than I do and you see it come out at bigger tournies like gsg2 where he loses to Fly, then beats a him back / other people including Taj / Hbox / etc that I'm not too confident against.

But yeah Lucky > me because honestly he has a better chance of beating the other top 10. He's beaten Amsah / Hbox / PP and... I don't think I can =(

That said, I think I've finally overcome my fear of ICs (at least a little bit) and I'm gonna relearn spacy / sheik / whatever other problem matchups I have. I decided on not going to Pound but maybe I'll randomly change my mind or something loool.

 

[Plairnkk]

LoL zhu, no one sand bags at locals except for mango.

They just play bad or show up under-prepared. No one wants to lose on purpose, except mango. Lucky isn't an exception. If he does insanely well at a national, it's because he went in prepared. When he does well at a local, it's because he was prepared.

When he does poorly at a national, no one just says "well he sandbagged". So why do we do make that an excuse at locals?

I don't like this distinction you continue to make between locals and nationals. Our locals are nearly national caliber competitions. So if you, or anyone, loses there, it's because you went in unprepared or you were playing awful. There isn't some magic force behind locals that causes you and lucky to do poorly. Lucky loses to fly and macD at locals the same way he can lose to them at a national. You think he really wanted to lose to fly, macD, me?

If it takes a larger stage for one to be motivated enough to prepare, then OK. Locals don't motivate some players enough to prepare, so as a result, they don't do that well at locals. But it's a lack of preparation that causes a ****ty performance, not the fact that it's a local. So when a big name player loses to a lesser known at a local, it's the player's fault for not preparing or playing awful, not the fact that it's a local, that would be silly. If someone got ***** at a local, I promise you they would have gotten ***** at a national if it took place on the same day.

Everyone cares to win even if they don't care to prepare.

 

[Plairnkk]

good post hugo, i totally agree

between practicing, sleep, good nutrition, how warmed up you are, and your ability to handle the stress of the tournament it is INSANE how much things can change. its not necessarely always sandbagging



edit::: well this IS the smash community, so i guess what drug you are on and/or suffering from the next day makes a big difference too

mmm ok, I'll think in terms of your last paragraph before johning for myself / others in socal.

"I decided on not going to Pound but maybe I'll randomly change my mind or something loool"

Really bad descission man =(.
I wanna see you there.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Why must people even debate this topic.
It is too opinion based, and some people are just stupid fanboys....
My favorite smasher is ORLY's #1 fan though...

 

[Renth]

Hello, you have never heard of me. This is my opinion I base nothing off of facts, it's completely biased and if you argue with me I will tell you that you're dumb.

I just summed up this entire thread you're welcome.
