Been gone for a while.

someone said final destination is a bad stage for meta knight. that's absolutely not true I actually think it's one of the better nights better stages. this is because it's easier to set up combos on FD than any other stage, especially jab lock combos. in fact none of the stages are particularly bad for us except when were going against ZSS, in which case never go battlefield or dreamland.
well truu but like others said it depends on the MUs and is a bit sad to not be able to platform camp but still i always bann FD isnt a HORRIBLE stage for us but not best

Get your Uair combos down, this is key in the matchup because you don't want him to have rage on you cause MK is light and he will punch you to heaven at 60%. Good luck

If he is like low level ryu he will get very gimmicky with focus attack. Know his patterns and straight up **** him.

On a side note: TECH THAT! #2 will be streamed!!!! All MK players in Saudi are going to come. 2 are from the capital and are supposedly really good and then there is.. Me.

I shall update you guys with the stream link when if comes.

It's going to take place in Friday after two days. 5 PM (+3 GMT)


SOOOO HYPPPPPEED.

Vinnie was robbed of everything.. Everything he got was stolen. Please donate to him on PayPal. His twitter is @Vinnie516 and all the info is there.

13 out of 66, solo pink Meta Knight.
Sent to losers by our country's monstrous, undefeated, first ranker (Rosalina) and out of the tournament by a very skilled Pac-Man from the capital. http://techthat2d.challonge.com/TECHTHAT2D here is the bracket. I am STR.
I didnt get to face any of the other MK's fortunately but we played some friendlies afterwards. I discovered some nice techniques with them and they gave me some advice on how to beat some capita;
I faced a skilled Peach whom I always feared but I just 2-0 him and clutched it against a ZSS 2-1.
Okay, so that was about it form me as a player.

As a TO, this tournament was good. Press covered it. Did interviews with me and the players. I did interviews with the winners. Sponsor and candies. Potentials for bigger things. Hope.
Some pictures: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_2FHJNhKsWISWZ5a2hGV0FYUE0 (its uploading as I am writing this)

To avoid issues with Pro Controllers I just took them all and no one was allowed to have them till they were either leaving or playing. Of course I had labels and wrote names on each. 6 setups meant everything was smooth. NO STREAM BECAUSE THE GAME NET DECIDED TO HATE US (not really, but yeah..) that made lots of people sad. me included. but meh. everyone worked hard and all the little issues we face we figured out how to deal with next time. Also, I believe we have enough money left to order us an Evo monitor. I am really happy about that. Thats one less monitor we will have to borrow when we do tournaments.

9th out of 128 in singles. 5th out of 46 teams. Sheik/MK is a baller team. I put in some work.

Need to learn the Rosa MU though. Our good Rosa won't friendly anyone with his main if he thinks you're a threat.

This weekend marks the end of the season. I wonder if I'll be ranked.

Yet another top Sheik who defeated by Leo, this kid is crazy!! D:

He said that Vinnie was harder than Mr. R, so he will keep going with the hard training

I know what I did wrong but its just annoying. The thing is in my state we have three 3 different levels of Rosalina users:

1. Rayquaza07 - National level Rosa.

2. The 2 or 3 mid level Rosa players that I just bop because they have no idea how to play the MU.

3. The trash players with Rosa secondaries.

So yeah I literally never get to practice that MU at a high level and I NEED to. It sucks.

Nerf MK confirmed?
Yes please.

ZTD | TECHnology ZTD | TECHnology Just come down to a big Ohio tourney. We have at least 3 PR-worthy Rosa mains; Fizzle, Fumbles, & CrazyColorz and a few others that aren't quite there yet. One of our mid-level Rosas was actually telling me a couple days ago about how they don't lose to other MKs in tourney because of how often they play me.
In fact, OH's probably one of the more dangerous states for other MK mains since everyone but NEOH knows how to fight him. I never make it up to NEOH for anything since it's like the same distance as MI from me sooo might as well go to MI lol.

Was just thinking, would it be worth it to put up a FAQ in the OP of the questions and answers thread with stuff that gets asked all the time?

At my local tournament, people can strike and ban.
Starters are all of common stages at bigger tourneys like VGB. Counters are the same.
Stage help please. I get the most out of Dream Land and FD (Some how) and I need to know MK best stages with these rules.
I often ban FD and Delfino, but I don't think this is correct. So, I know that FD should be banned, but what else? And I need help with counter picks.
I also need help for Falcon, Shulk, JR. and Villager.
There was this dude today who got first using Falcon, Robin and Villager. I dont think he mains Falcon, but wow. Villager and Robin were scary. His aliases was SilverFox.

It is character dependent. You should not be picking and banning the same every game.
