The North Carolina Melee Power Rankings! Updated 8/14/14!

[Dr Peepee]

Yeah the adjustment to serious games is much easier, I agree.

The only time you wanna play less serious while still training to win is when you're playing to learn, so you can kinda do that with people that play for fun if you know how to do it. You're right that it can still form bad habits after a while though.

 

[-ACE-]

being serious in NC has been frowned upon slightly less of a priority in NC (in comparison to very competitive scenes) since I moved out here day one

More accurate.

 

[lord karn]

The problem with Johns is that people throw it out whenever anyone even begins to talk about what they did wrong. Sometimes I'll be like "Oh, I'm losing because I'm doing blah blah blah" and someone will say no Johns. No, I'm trying to figure out why I'm losing so I can fix it, and verbalizing it helps me make sense of it. Throwing out no Johns too much makes people stop talking about what they can do to improve and just focus on 'trying harder' which is really vague and not as pinpointed as you need to be for improvement sometimes.

The real problem, though, comes when people recognize the above, John, and then claim that what's going on, all unconsciously. I think this is actually a problem we have.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Letting go of my ego really helped me focus on learning better or letting go of johns, maybe it'd help others with this too.

 

[0Room]

Yeah I think the difference is the definition of johns
Saying "I'm losing because of this" isn't johns
Saying "I should have won because of this" is

Johns to me [like Kevin said] are saying that you should have performed better but had excuses for doing so, rather than saying "well that happened" and trying to get better for next time

yyyyyyyeah, pretty much this.


really not even that hard, it's just a matter of accepting reality.

 

[Dark Hart]

Holy **** reality

HOLY **** REALITY

 

[Lightsyde]

Damn, keep getting scraped up by a state full of not serious players then. ;]

Did you guys know we don't ever play serious and frown on those who do?

Like REALLY

WERE YOU AWARE

I wasn't. :[

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

'Man... your falco... my falco...

they just don't go together. its like kicking a small child'

 

[DJRome]

not so much frowned upon as undervalued

 

[Mahone]

I agree with crystalnite, nc johns way harder than va, especially sova...

Speaking of sova... Ether is a ****ing beast, his games vs tope are some of the best marth vs sheik games ive ever seen (his combo game at least), he also completely destroyed greg and doh, it was ****... Hope they upload the matches soon

Lightsyde.... You hate when people play serious, cuz to you serious = gay bull**** thats the cheapest way to kill spacies!!!!

Also cam, its not really your place to say god doesnt exist... And i know you mean well but you probably shouldnt say stuff like on off switch when talking about peoples lives

 

[Dark Hart]

Hey Mahone

No johns

God is a fallacy

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

Hey God

No Mahone

Fallacy is a john

 

[Dr Peepee]

Yo I love ether's Marth. Can't wait to see the videos. =)

 

[Lightsyde]

Hey Kumar,

**** you.

No that's not how I feel about serious at all. I obviously spent a lot lot lot of time playing serious to get to where I am. I was clearly joking on Earl since he complains about people not playing serious but then retires from singles and johns about not having practiced.

Also, your tone of superiority mixed with the fact that you play a lame character makes liking you online very difficult sometimes....and I like you as a person which is a frustrating situation.

PS: If God = Everything that there is = yes
If God = A conscious mind outside of the universe = no, and you have no way of knowing otherwise so claims to have extra dimensional knowledge are lol.

Ether's Marth has been gorgeous for as long as I've known him. That guy is so sick. He's the Adam of VA in my opinion.

 

[Mahone]

Im not trying to argue whether god exists, i just said it wasnt cams place to tell him he doesnt, since its an opinion not a fact

Eh... Youve been playing for like 3 times as long as me probably and im like significantly better than you so ive probably been more serious about the game, thats my guess... So i think its fair to act somewhat superior

 

[Lightsyde]

Eh... Youve been playing for like 3 times as long as me probably and im like significantly better than you

Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That is exactly why I can't stand you online.

No you aren't signifcantly better than me, nor are you better than me at all, and I prove it to you every time we play. I **** you in all friendlies where you don't rest me 2+ times and I never lose to your secondaries. You can play 1 character on a competitive level, and it's Jigglypuff, who requires practically no technical talent and is universally hated specifically because of the style that you play. You crutch on your character and talk big all you want, but you are not better than me. There are plenty of people that are, you are not one of them. I have no interest in getting further into a pissing contest because it's my opinion vs yours, so just drop it. I'm likely just going to block you after this because I like you as person and I like seeing you at tournaments, but your misplaced online arrogance makes me struggle with that.

Also, for 1/3 of my playing time I was in a location where I couldn't play anyone regularly at all. Your time is concentrated and you live in a location with tons of good players, which I didn't and never have. NC has always been kinda behind that curve.

 

[Mahone]

You can only beat my main with 0 characters lol, of course i have to rest thats what my character does...

Play puff against me next tourney if its so easy... Oh wait, too much honor i forgot, and when i rest and you say you have to sandbag cuz resting takes no skill, i have to stop resting and play awkward melee where you keep fsmashing my shield and i cant do anything... OOPS, i meant we play SERIOUS MELEE, my bad

Also everyone is always like, oh u got good cuz u play h2yl and va is so ****...

Actually i got good only by playing kp and foxlisk, all good players in nova dont play friendlies so i never got to play them, plus im in blacksburg most of the year so i rarely got to play boss who was the only good player that would play with me...

Dont john about where you live... Pp is like 10x better than anyone in nc and he mainly practices with twitch, who even you beat

 

[Juno McGrath]

This is one of the most pathetic things ive seen lately.

And Ive seen kyle dean osborne shirtless.

Lightsyde.... You hate when people play serious, cuz to you serious = gay bull**** thats the cheapest way to kill spacies!!!!

Also, your tone of superiority mixed with the fact that you play a lame character

Coincidence?
But in all reality this:

It's my opinion vs yours, so just drop it.

And that goes for both of you

Also cam, its not really your place to say god doesnt exist... And i know you mean well but you probably shouldnt say stuff like on off switch when talking about peoples lives

Wait when did this happen

 

[Dark Hart]

This is one of the most pathetic things ive seen lately.

Oh god



Also Josh, Mahone, either just **** or make your own thread because you two are putting on way to much PDA right now and twitch is lurking

 

[Frown]

You guys are making it difficult for me to Namesearch myself.

 

[~Twitch~]

Oh god

wtf i wazn't even lurking.

 

[bossa nova ♪]

incidental..

i'm a rather faithful person actually, i have high expectations for the potential of the contents of this universe. with a particular interest in the tiny things.

"God" is just an annoying word. tainted like a dumpster breeze. so is the word "energy," just not in the same ways. let's not talk about it, though. and i don't even think slasher was using it in the way that i assumed, so that's where i'm sure i was in the wrong.

 

[Divinokage]

I do get excited when you mention something like energy and God though. I like to talk about these things, it's awesome and infinite potential!

 

[bossa nova ♪]

yes, but for those of us that have been around english for our whole damned lives, the vocabulary is pretty eye-roll worthy at this point.... which asks for creativity i suppose.

 

[Mahone]

God damn it kage, i dont have the energy to argue with you right now

 

[Divinokage]

yes, but for those of us that have been around english for our whole damned lives, the vocabulary is pretty eye-roll worthy at this point.... which asks for creativity i suppose.

Which is pretty funny because you guys just finished talking about how "johns" is an over-used word. I guess every important word is over-used these days? lol.

God damn it kage, i dont have the energy to argue with you right now

Very funny.

 

[Dark Hart]

Kage thats not how it works, most important words are actually ones that aren't said a lot, like 'Love'. the point is the overuse of the word is majorly taking away from it's importance, words such as 'god' or 'johns'.

Imo

 

[Dr Peepee]

it's all in the mindset.

that goes for both discussions.

boo impartiality.

 

[bossa nova ♪]

God damn it kage, i dont have the energy to argue with you right now

lol i hope that kind of usage is not what you think i'm referring to

I dunno why I think that's so funny but I do

Kevin you're going to TGM4 right?

So cam, its ok for you to like macs now...
