I don't know, it doesn't feel like I've progressed at all. And I don't want to resort to using Marth against campers, because Linguini gets around camping like a pro. So if he can do it then I should be able to as well, I know I definitely have the tech skill, I just don't know where my mentality should be and I feel ALOT of overwhelming pressure, which cause me to choke. But yeah Dale what I mean is when I get comments from Warren when he says "Oh I can beat Jason" then when I finally called him out on it. I wasn't used to it at all. Same thing with Sighrax. Like if you can beat me, then go and do it. You know how I feel about sandbagging, so does Crispy. People learn differently.
I learn by trying out various things and playing someone way above my level, so that I could easily catch up. Ask Crispy; before he used to **** my **** in so much when he was actually trying, then I kept playing him over and over, trying new stuff and eventually I started to adapt and going even with his fox. (Not saying I can beat him in tourney, but I know I can take a match off of him and it ending close) Lol you guys say it's ****ed up when I wreck Beanman and Justin up really bad in friendlies, but that's because I don't want to sandbag them, because I want them to be good at this game have them take less time then it did for me. Before Andres, Kevin, You (Dale) Warren, Eli, Justin, Beanman. I only had Chops. Elliot, and Guini to work with and they only main 3 people. And don't get me wrong; that was probably the BEST training I ever got from them. But I know what I'm lacking is variety, because before I was used to fighting spacies and the occasional Peach. Now I got a good Falcon, Marth, Shiek, Luigi, and upcoming Jigglypuff. So now I gotta adjust my entire game play to suit those characters.
@ Justin & Beanman - You guys are very new to the game, so it's no surprise you guys place low. It's only expected, NOBODY places high during their first few tournaments. I've been at the game for at least 2 years, maining the same character and you have people that just got into the game for at least a couple of months going even with or beating me. Now that's BS. I just perceive everything by experience. The player who put in more time should obviously show better results. Not the other way around. Regardless of matchups and whatnot. Also not to mention you guys are mad **** with high tier characters, so it'll take you guys no time at all, so much better than I was when I started. lol and no Dale I won't drop Ganon, because contrary to what you think he's a pretty ok/good character capable of winning tournaments, local and nationals. It'll just be pretty hard tis all.
I know it's got something to do with me. It's more of a mental and awareness thing. Plus I don't want to disappoint SFL cause I know all of you look up to me as a really good player here. So it also kinda sucks when I lose to scrubs, cause it also feels like I'm letting you dudes down, especially when I know I can **** them up worse than what chris did to rihanna.
