The Kame House : South Florida Melee Discussion

[spider_sense]

Double also friendlies don't mean ****! There is a different sense of pressure in a tournament(of about 5 dollars or more) and friendlies. The only other thing is money matches which is just as valid as tourneys. Crispyone your good and all but lets be honest you don't allow your self to be played under the pressure alot of us put our self into. Who knows maybe jason can beat you with money on the line right now. But seeing as you were amazing when you were playing competitively and its generaly accepted about how good you are now. you are still one of our best players.

Lol but Dale, let's say we were having some really serious friendlies and we're both playing at our utmost best. Yet I'm not taking a single match from you. Or if you look at the star count I have 45 kills and you have like 77. That lets you know alot about where we stand as players. Feel me? True you don't feel as much pressure because there isn't nothing to lose nor to gain. However friendlies provide a great deal of experience, especially for the player who needs it the most. That player needs to learn what his main can do against the rest of the cast. Chops and Guini will be the first to back me. They'll tell you to have as many friendlies as possible and play a variety of people. Because overall it'll help your adaptability and mentality.

I'm not trying to take any personal stabs at Crispy, but I want him to realize that we are getting better and we're catching up. Andres is a good example of that. He was doing extremely well against you in Grand finals, and I don't know what your mentality was before you started playing him, but I'm pretty sure you thought you could take him out with little to no problem. But I still agree wholeheartedly with Dale when we say you're one of our best. We call you Goku for a reason. lmao

Jason don't forget just because you beat someone doesn't make you the better player. Maybe in that particular match up but when you say your better than someone you gotta look at it all round(all match ups and how each player does against other players as well) just saying. and ya thats dumb. I know if i feel im just so much better than someone and they offer me a mm imma take it.

 

[nicaboy]

And no jason. The only way to emulate the same sense of pressure as a tournament is a mm of at least 5 dollars. Not saying friendlies don't help they do! But in the long run of things people myself included are gonna look at tournament results and mm. Not how well(even if both players are playing at their best) you do in friendlies.

 

[spider_sense]

And no jason. The only way to emulate the same sense of pressure as a tournament is a mm of at least 5 dollars.

Ah but that's just the way you like to learn. You're one of the type of people that learn by feeling overwhelming pressure. I'm the type that learns by playing someone exponentially greater than me. Some people preform much better under stressful environment, while some people tend be more laid back and observe things. I'll say it again. Friendlies with various people tend to boost up adaptability which enables you to perform better during a serious match or MM.

It's like studying for math. lol

Scenario 1 : Student comes home every day and does 10 problems and come test time, he gets a 90 or some high grade.

Scenario 2 : Student goes to class, jots down notes, doesn't really study. THINKS he knows how to do the problems. Then comes the test. He looks at his paper and goes "OH **** WE NEVER WENT OVER THIS ****!!!" and flunks that **** hard as ****.

Pretty silly analogy I know, but student 1 came home and practiced by doing various problems (friendlies) and became accustomed to doing multiple problems and whatnot.

Student 2: Got cocky and felt he knew his **** and came test time, he went OH ****!!! Like the old saying goes "Practice makes perfect" and according to your logic Dale you'd be going "OH **** I'VE NEVER KNEW SO-SO COULD DO THAT!" and getting murked in tournament. It wouldn't know how to cope with that person's playstyle because you're so used to playing one way or you felt you knew enough about that matchup to do well in.

 

[precision]

thanks for the help guys. pp had the same prob i had. thats great advice raphael. good ****. ty.

@ jason- waiting does help. personally i play smarter and better when i wait instead of approach. derek knows his ****. play a match with derek standing behind you and giving you instructions. its ****.

 

[Sensei Seibrik]

Jason: wed. ZP


We shall own the night.

 

[Blea Gelo]

**** man, i watched snith the movie yesterday, it's so ****ing good god dammit.. have any1 of u watched it before?

 

[Ballistics]

Snith?? Que es eso?

LOL at the DBZ analogies im currently watching DragonBall Kai which takes out all the fillers and **** talking, 260 DBZ episodes condensed into 60. ITs really great you guys need to check it out.

I have to disagree with Dale being vegeta tho, I think hes more like krillin lolzzz

 

[nicaboy]

I would much rather be goten. He is my favorite dbz character along with yamcha. But yamcha sucks. He is just cool. Derek change this to the south florida thread home of the super sayins or z fighters. Your choice i guess or we vote.

He was doing extremely well against you in Grand finals, and I don't know what your mentality was before you started playing him, but I'm pretty sure you thought you could take him out with little to no problem. But I still agree wholeheartedly with Dale when we say you're one of our best. We call you Goku for a reason. lmao

I see that everyone is getting better already in the friendlies we have. I would expect everyone to catch up because I don't play consistently as one character or play the game consistently in general.

Andres did well in Winner's Finals. He forced me to win the 4th and 5th matches of the set. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Grand Finals.

Nicaboy is right though. I don't take this game serious anymore. I don't resort to putting myself in stressful situations because I rarely feel the need to prove myself nowadays. Also, I rather play as less monotonous characters.

 

[CrypTik]

I really wanna get better. In my opinion I've improved a lot since I first started playing with you guys. =)

 

[nicaboy]

Oh ya danny when you upload videos of smash please use the proper format. Tag the players. In the title of the video the players name followed by the character they are playing. In the more info section the name of the tournament date held location of the tournament and were in bracket they are. Note everyone starts in winners pound one. Also grand finals an loser finals are the labels for the last match on each respective side. And grand finals is the last match of the bracket. Look at phanna videos for a good example. Here i will do one. The title of the video nicaboy(sheik) vs cryptik(falco). The more info section will be as follows zp melee mayhem miami florida 1/1/10 winners round two. The tag section nicaboy, cryptik, ssbm. Of course in the tag section each one word is a different tag.

 

[CrypTik]

I think I did that.... Didn't I?

Edit- Oh, I forgot to put peoples players. It's because youtube automatically puts the title as what I saved the video and I didn't put the characters in there. I'll go edit them.
