My First Big Tournament

Kkz, Well. I went to HERB2 a couple of weeks ago and I had a great time. I got a couple of vids recorded.

I'd like to say that I really didn't do my best. I'm not much of a johner but I got eally nervous because alot of people were cheering for me in the chat and the people standing behind me. I really think I could've done better.

Also, The tourney was short of time so in pools, instead of top 4 making it out, only top 2 did. I made 3rd in my pool only losing to Bill (Top Olimar in NC and 5th n NC PR) and G-reg (G-reg)

So had top 4 made it out, I think I would've done alot better seeing as how I lost to a Olimar and a Sanke, which are two of my worst matchups.

And now withut further more talkz:

Me vs. NC-Echo

Me vs. G-Reg.

How did you put up with his shouting during your chaingrabs?
Should've DQ'd him for it?
It was a Money Match not a Tournament Match.

We need a video critique thread, just saying.

Not really sure if this deserves its own thread, or should be put in the video thread or the general thread, but I'll post it here and a mod can do whatever they want with it.

Anyways, this is my Ice Climbers. When critiquing, please do not mention "Work on your chain grabs!" or "Work on your DI!" or anything general like that. Yes, I am in fact aware that my chain grabs aren't perfect, that is why I practice, so just please don't post here saying nothing but to work on my chaingrabbing, that wont do me any good.

We aren't the greatest of smashers, and have never been to a real tournament (school tournaments don't count D: ) but I really want to start playing in real tournaments, so if you could please help me out a bit, and even tell me how well I would do at a tournament if I went to one I would really appriciate it.

Garabon:popo: Vs. Skid:pikachu2: Game 1
Garabon:popo: Vs. Skid:pikachu2: Game 2
Garabon:popo: Vs. Skid:pikachu2: Game 3
Garabon:popo: Vs. Skid:pikachu2: Game 4
Garabon:popo: Vs. Skid:pikachu2: Game 5

I don't expect you to watch all of them, but when commenting please let me know which videos you watched, so then I can watch them back and see what you are talking about.

Here is my general idea of what I need to do:

I feel that I roll too much.
I need to work on chaingrabs.
I need to work on DI.
I need to work on being less predictable.
I need to work on getting the KOs. (Sort of goes with being predictable)
I need to work on desynchs, but I generally don't desynch too much against Pikachu because he will mess it up with Thunderjolts, but maybe I need to try some other stuff with desyncs.

That is just my general opinion about my game right now, and I have honestly no idea how well I would do in a tournament, so help me out please

Thanks, JJ

Taken from my locked thread, this thread seems pretty much dead so I don't expect much =/

your ic´s look pretty solid. now i´ll tell you a few things i would do:

1. use your minijump from the iceblock in your recovery. it interrupts your momentum and you won´t get predicable so you can recover.
2. know when you have to go for the grab
3. know when you absolutly not have to go for the grab ^^
4. get your kills. 95-105% should be enough for pika to be upsmash´d out of grab
5. use less synched blizzard. it leaves you open for punishment.
6. USE PIVOT GRABS <3 pivotgrabbing an opponent when he´s chasing you with an aerial or a dash (or a whorenado ^^) is awesome.

thats just my opinion ^^ your ic´s look well so far. and you´re right with the deynching against pika.. it´s not the best idea. practice your grabs so you can cg more consistently

First video:

There were moments where you just stood there. Don't ever stay stationary with the Ice Climbers not doing anything.

0:58- Don't finish the chaingrab with Nana. She's noticeably weaker than Popo. If you passed to Nana and UpSmashed with Popo, you will have killed him.

1:25/1:42- That is a really bad position to be in. Try to stay away from Blizzarding when it's not safe.

Don't FSmash the ledge when they're invincible on the ledge. They can get up attack/roll past you and get back safely and you can't do anything about it because of the ending lag on FSmash.

2:07- Don't airdodge so much. He should have been calling you on those but he didn't.

2:23- Don't run in and grab. Especially against Pikachu. You really need something helping you get your grabs like Blizzard or Ice Block.

I'm not seeing you use Squall at any point right now. Squall to UpAir does a lot of damage and is a great trap. About the desynchs. You can actually Ice Block camp against Pikachu quite effectively and it stops his Thunder Jolts.

3:34- Don't just let people go after Nana like that. You could have hit him with something to interrupt that thunder. Especially last stock/opponent is at low percent when all you have to do is land one good grab to make a comeback.

3:52- You got really lucky. xD When you're under someone like that, the person doesn't even have to let the ledge go. Your scenarios are:
  • Solo Belay and fall right down. Not hurting anything.
  • Solo Squall and fastfall to death.
  • Just fall to your death.

This is just the first video. If you need me to critique you more, tell me.

Thanks guys, I will work on working on alot of that stuff.

I had no idea that Nana was alot weaker than Popo, I will definately end all my CGs with Popo now, thanks.

If you want to critique the other videos I would appriciate it, but you don't need to, I think I have a general idea of what I should be working on right now.

Thanks again, JJ

Long bump. I was suppose to put this in the tournament video thread back in September, but it's too late to do so now. I'll just C&P the post:

Sorry that these videos are so incredibly late and overdue, but I have some of Phantom's games with Hylian back in late September uploaded onto Youtube.

The reasons why it took so long:

-They were recorded on a music swapped Brawl, and it took me nearly a week to get in contact with the person to figure out which songs were on which level
-I had no internet between October 3rd - October 10th
-My dazzle started acting very funky and wouldn't be detected by the computer

So yeah, just a lot of crap. Also, during the music swap frustration, before I realized that it was freezing replays because of the music swapping, I had deleted 8 replays. Because of this, only five remain, and I have no idea what order they were in, and whether or not they were GF or WF.

So, sorry for all of this, but here they are:
