haha the problem is that my own metagame is far above theirs, but still far below what a lot of you guys are capable of, so my link (which is my 2nd) is about as good as my pika. Simply because he is played far more often than pikachu, however I can just pick up pika and win pretty much any match without having played with him in weeks. I am a Kirby main, and usually can barely get touched in matches against them. I think they do get the idea though. When they ask me who to main, I said well, look at the tier list, accept it as the truth, and then choose a character wisely. If you disregard the tier list and pick samus as your main, then more power to you! However, don't expect to win much especially while just learning the metagame and getting everything under your fingers. Especially not against me
I'd really like to start playing online.... It isn't an option for me yet. Maybe I'll eventually get my recording software up and running and be able to get some feedback on my play.
