I can work as hard as I want to get good at basketball, but Kobe is always gonna school me.

He's a natural and he's built for it. So, I feel that natural talent has something to do with some things. However, I also think that Jack has the natural talent, and that's what's got him as far as he is with a bad character. The rest is just perseverance and learning difficult matchups.
That's true but smash's limit is far less greater imo. All you need is press buttons correctly and know the game. No one is bound by physical limits. After that, I guess the only natural talent I can see is the way you think.

In smash, the only limit is if you are able to improve faster than the guys at the top. If they improve faster than you, there is no way you can catch up.

Samus is def. an underused character, not many people have utilized her at her peak just yet; and plup is the closest to it thus far. Hugs is mad smart but plup is just so effective..lulz at this thread

shame on you juan

Brienne the Bold (aka Brienne the Beauty, Brienne the Maiden) invented Samus back in the middle ages, as a future version of herself living in an era lacking the oppressive gender roles of her own time. She made her future self beautiful because everyone is secretly vain/insecure as all ****.

Lol this thread is full of Wes reruns. I made a promise to myself that if wes ever starts playing again I would go back to samus, but this is like the 4th time he is "coming back". I'm waiting for results this time.

As for best samus, I honestly want to say it's still probably hugs. I don't see any other samus players placing at big tournaments.

anyone have any idea if wes is trying to play?
yeah he played at PC's house a few times...Bolt played with him a few weeks ago.

He was supposed to go to D1's last Sudden Death tournament, and No Johns but I don't know what happened.

Guess he's still in the lab training up dat samus. Wait for RoM/Apex

Sure is Florida bias in here.
this

using in-state tournaments as your reference,(or non national/regionals) is kinda silly..i know you guys thought the same of colbol just from him playing in FL. Then he went OOS and didn't do so hot. People are easily so biased from playing people alot

Don't think i don't think colbol (or plup) *****. hes a ****ing boss, but i just think FL over rated him pretty hard awhile back.

^col bol makes bracket OoS, and that's with fox.
you know how everyone likes to john about samus gimmicks and lack of matchup knowledge
i don't doubt plup would make bracket, and depending on the bracket, could place quite well.
as could colin.
