come back in 4 years super yung'un

I'm 16 and I don't have a beard yet

I'm 16 and I don't have a beard yet

Me neither. We should wait on the beard power though. Let's join hands and chant Come Holy Beard

 

[BSL]

come back in 4 years super yung'un

Zack will never be able to grow a beard.

 

[artofskjet]

Zack will never be able to grow a beard.

Lol. We should offer sacrifice to the beard god in hope that Zack will finally begin growing his beard.

Sneakh, something I've noticed is you can be predictable in your approaches. You are very good at reading/reacting to other people, but your approach game needs some work. I think your combo game is better than you give yourself credit for.

In all seriousness this is true and your combo game is really good.

Cauthon I know you only played me once but where did I seem to struggle? In your opinion. Anyone can answer though

I appreciate the positive comments; I guess I always feel like I'm playing suboptimal so I down the things I do well lol.

As for the approaching, I think you're right. Part of the problem is that I don't know what I'm supposed to do, so I just keep doing what comes intuitively. Which, admittedly, isn't that great.

I think the first step is sort of understanding the factors of approaching and what makes a "good" approach.
Is there a baseline "best" approach for each char vs. a certain character? Is that true for some characters and not others?

Or are approaches very read based and have to do with mixing up how you condition your opponent?

Some combination of the above?

Then of course there is the "forced approach" approach. e.g., throwing fireballs as mario or needles as sheik until the opponent attacks you.

I think I might make an effort post later which will help me organize my thoughts and *maybe* help someone else.

In all seriousness this is true and your combo game is really good.

I'll give my 2 cents on this as well, but I have to go back to work

 

[Magi_]

you seem to be suffering from what I suffer

the solution is to always press buttons, and if that doesn't work

PRESS THEM FASTER

 

[Bomber7]

If you scrubs are looking to grow a beard, I would suggest councel from Cyphus' beard. It's the only beard that actually matters in the Smash community.

All hail the bearded king.

Since i'm dropping my Melee characters you should help me pick up Link. the yung'uns gotta stick together

 

[Captain Zack]

hello my mains aren't all peach now. happy? ; (

 

[Magi_]

how to play link:

did you throw boomerang:
if yes you should be winning
if no then throw the boomerang
if yes and you are not winning, then just throw it again once it comes back, it will work eventually

but more realistically learn how to aerial glide toss the bombs and how to bomb jump, after that you just kinda feel him out and play how you wanna play him.

 

[Deleted member]

I beat cyphus in a beard match when i was like 17. Voted by a council of our peers. Just sayin'

Lol I can do all of that including the Bomb Punt.

 

[Magi_]

bomb punt isn't even that useful imo, like you can have more use learning this random thing I found where you pull a bomb, z-drop it at the start of short hop, and then you can double jump fade away and pull another bomb before you hit the ground, now you have access to 2 bombs that you can throw basically simultaneously if you short hop throw the first bomb and then glide toss the other bomb in any direction while coming down from the short hop. this sounds a lot more complicated in text but it's pretty easy after like 10 attempts.

 

[Captain Zack]

less link and beards in this thread. more zelda and peach pls

 

[artofskjet]

less link and beards in this thread. more zelda and peach pls

But Zelda is Fair and Peach is down smash. lol. I love those characters though

that sounds like a plan

actually zelda is bair. fair sucks

 

[Cauthon Luck]

I mean I think the point is you combo into Fair. Perfect sweetspot kills at like 50 or something stupid on that move. Bair is by far the better move in Neutral though. Also nair is Peach's best move, not downsmash, except in teams.

SKJET, i don't think I've played you enough to have much insight. I think if you asked me right after our match I could have said more. We need to play some friendlies at next godlike or something.

Sneakh, I think it needs to be a combination of all of the above.
I feel like when you are behind you start playing super defensive, trying to get your opponent to approach you with needles, which is fine, but there are characters who can just outcamp you. I know Sheik as a character doesn't have the best approach options, but you should probably dash dance more. Dash dance grab works on everyone. Also, the best approach option is whatever works, but if you can condition your opponent to expect something and then mix it up, that works best in my experience.

Granted I'm awful at this game, so idk how useful my advice is.

Bro, from one Link player to another... Needs more bombs.

I should've asked you right after. I have fun playing close matches ( but at that point in the bracket I was nervous ) so I might've played a little worse than I usually play.

My contribution to the Zelda discussion since I've been doing nothing but playing as her in Hyrule Warriors!! MY WAIFUUU!!! <3 <3

Got nothing for Peach, though. I suck with Peach. lol

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Smash 4 hype! It's finally here!


Meanwhile at Nintendo, the party's like

 

['V']

GimR's playing it on a Gamecube controller right now. I'm jealous...

 

[Blaise]

Feels weird saying this about a smash game but smash 4 3ds has some of the best 1v1 netplay ive experienced on any fighting game ever. Who woulda thunk

 

[Captain Zack]

my 3ds broke. owell

 

[Magi_]

won a PM gamestop tourney last night for a smash 4 release party, expected to get the game for winning

got a 20 inch mario statue, a ribbon, a smash coin, a mario kart notepad, and a 10$ gamestop gift card.

can't tell if I should be mad or not

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

If you sold all that you could probably get the game with the money you got from it.

Also, does anyone who has Smash 4 now also go to/live near BRCC? If so would they be willing to meet up on a Tuesday at 4:15 for an hour of Smash? Sudai will also come if so, so it'd be awesome, and yeah.

 

[Logz]

I like the game. Obviously it isn't melee/PM, but at least it isn't Brawl. It honestly feels like I'm playing SSB64 right now. At least the sound track is on point.

 

[Blaise]

Seriously loving this online. It's like I wanna fight a n!gga, so I go to the fight a n!gga mode, I choose fight a n!gga, and I fight a n!gga. Why wasn't this on brawl. Its like games back in the day went out of their way to be unplayed

Where was this and nice

gamestop on blue bonnet (BR)

nobody good except hunter and peter showed up, I didn't drop a game, almost got my first JV5 stock

'twas a good night

 

[artofskjet]

Why isn't there a tourney on my birthday ?

 

[Nikz0r]

Don't worry, friends. Your beard will come! (Most of the time... >.>) If you want my advice, start shaving. Even if there's nothing there, by shaving, you're already encouraging it to grow back faster and thicker. I used to think I'd never have a beard and then I shaved and poof. Now I have a sexy cover of hair upon my face.

Also the game is pretty fun right now. It'll have it's place, so let's just enjoy it until we decide it ain't worth it anymore lol.

 

[Sudai]

False. http://www.snopes.com/oldwives/hairgrow.asp

You'll just prematurely age your skin.

All the Zelda players are kicking... LOL

Also added my 3DS friend code for those peeps that wanna play.

Happy coincidence then. Lol. I shaved cuz it looked a little odd and then it grew back thick and multi-colored. Ah well.

 

[Captain Zack]

All the Zelda players are kicking... LOL

it's just our nature vaughn

 

[Big-Cat]

I'm loving this game so far. Took me a while to figure things out, but I've got the concept of mixing up movement and everything down and keeping to the center.

Loving Bowser and Wii Fit Trainer. Have a soft spot for Paletuna and Doge.

I'm 16 and I don't have a beard yet

I'm going to be 24 next week. I still can't grow a full beard.
