I agree, it's definitely time for an update now since we didn't get it done before TGM4.

Karn and Sneak, I'm free to work with you guys on this Tuesday through Friday and probably sometime Sunday. Lemme know what's good for you.

So things I noticed watching the Mango/M2K GFs [thanks Raphael for posting that]

1) Mango was in shield a lot
And sometimes you have to be against Sheik but as we all know that's not really a great place to be, especially for Falcon.

2) Mango tried to jump OoS a lot
Maybe I'm the only one who has noticed this but jumping OoS vs Sheik is bad, at least in my experience. It just gets you tilted, which leads to other things. Which is what happened here. Someone else might have something different to say about it, but that's just my personal experience.

3) The way he pressured with those nairs was cool
His spacing on M2k's Shield with that nair was so good, but he didn't really get much out of it. I'm not really sure what he should have done, per se, but just an observation

4) I felt like his tech skill was a little off
Just a few times there were some times when he visibly stopped moving or pivoted and that is kind of a "well I'm ****ed" moment at least imo

Just some random thoughts since Sneak asked.

i'm just waiting to see mango's tryhard douglas vs m2k's serious sheik (m. go would tap). this set was kinda lol in my opinion. it seemed like neither of them really cared.

however, i enjoyed watching it, and there was one moment on fountain when m. go's pressuring was flawless.

Yeah that's what I was saying earlier. He couldn't really do anything so he didn't, but I don't really feel like Mango effectively followed up on any of that.

The question then is A) Could he have even done so? and B) What should he have done if he could have followed up?

flawless pressure, but its hard to say it was effective when m2k just stayed patient eg after those nairs
lol, he didn't really change his strategy much. i only watched the video twice, but i remember that m2k stopped jumping oos as much and mango just got ***** by tilt priority more.

:sheikmelee:

what does this mean?
LOL I'll tell you on fb chat ;)


Also, Mango is a giant troll butthole and makes me mad. Talking about the videos.

Mango's pressure was not flawless, at least not on FD. He kept FH'ing too many times in a row and M2K might not always get the punish but he sure started dodging the attacks and then Mango would wind up with less stage.

On platform stages sure Mango's pressure was pretty solid though. Very entertaining stuff.

i dont call it genius, but i dont see a problem with it

i mean, he got second in tournament and was likely satisfied with that.

i wouldnt travel across the US to sandbag in grand finals (and i dont think u would), but doesnt that mean we just have different motivations for doing so?

or maybe ur 'mad' cuz the same guy is on ur level despite ur more obvious drive to improve

or maybe idk wtf im talking about

Yeah, that M two Kay m4ng0 match was bull**** lol. Fruit boy was ****ing around again while the constant head bobber was trying his best to ****, although I doubt either of them thought much of the outcome. When I saw sneak say M5K beat m4ng0's falcon, discuss? I thought there was nothing to discuss haha. Fruit boy is a BUTT (as kevin would say) and doesn't ever show anyone his true potential aka his die hard try hard self for whatever reason. He also cp'd random every time LOL

I mean I agree which is why I decided to talk about strict match up things rather than how the players were doing lol
People do what people do

Even with Mango sandbagging there's some things you could take away from that match

Just `memeber Kev
You do what you do
And you ain't got no control over nobody else

Dude, you don't know what you're talking about. You used to be super nice to me and kiss my *** and I would put up with your homo *** tight hugs and **** you would give to me at every tourney just bc I'm a nice guy and thought you were too (it's literally that easy to get along with me). Now you're different, and some hardly frequent, meaningless e-beef with my brother over the past few months has apparently caused you not to like me. **** you you ****ing ******. Until I see a reason to think otherwise, **** you kid. LOL
you think I don't like you because I criticized something you said on the internet? that's silly. I still like you. you're a cool person. dorsey's cool too, he just says things piss me off frequently.

stingers, you do this everytime and its getting old


if the tournament results say that you're top 10, then you are. you either care too much or you want attention. either way you're a f*****, good ****.
