The OFFICIAL FL Brawl 2011 Power Rankings (Updated 8/26/11)

[VSC.D-Torr]

LOL I was waiting for the MM to pop into mind.

I will not MM you because you use Falco. While I feel I MIGHT lose to you in a MM, I still know that I am better than you. You just use a R.O.B Counter, so therefore in a Set against me, you would do better, but even then, you aren't to bright at the R.O.B MU, so I feel I might win.

If you use Snake, the exact same logic applies.

If you go to this, I WILL LOVE TO $5 MM you!!! =DDD

 

[8Bitman]

LOL I just meant that I would not $100 MM. But I will $5 MM.

Sorry I kinda thought that this was Justin's ZP Monthly thread.

Are you going Saturday?


Edit: D-Torr just made my night... XDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!

 

[DJ Arcatek]

Lol, you don't say that you're better than him when saying that you might lose to his falco.

That defeats the purpose.

True words.


Brett I should be, but I'm still iffy on money. I'll try though.

 

[SN Viper]

You can lose to players head to head and still be a better player overall then they are.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

......like me.

 

[8Bitman]

Well if you can't MM don't worry about it. I don't care, I just like it cuz it's legit practice rather than just Friendlies.


I just haven't seen you at a tourney in forever and I wanted to play you.

 

[Kuro~]

If you can't switch on tourney mode w/o some money on the line i feel sorry for you.

 

[Xaltis]

If you can't switch on tourney mode w/o some money on the line i feel sorry for you.

I don't understand this. Shouldn't you only activate tourney mode with money on the line? Or some kind of challenge? Of course people wouldn't take a normal match as serious as a MM or a tourney match.

 

[DJ Arcatek]

I sand bag in friendlies all the time because I'm a jack***

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

This is a fallacy. Not all players are motivated by money. There are many players who play as hard as they can all the time because that's what they believe in. Ryo is a prime example of that.

(I could have said myself but Ryo is a better example)

I would only go tourney mode if it was for money, tourney matches, or serious training.

 

[8Bitman]

Kuro that is not the point.

You have a different mindset in Friendlies than you do in an actual Tourney/MM. You cannot practice that mindset if you don't have the requirements for said pressure, which is money. Friendlies are free, therefore leaving no possible way.

Yes I play my best in Friendlies, but that is different from the exact way I play in Tourney/MM... Hopefully it is the same for you.....

 

[P.I.E.]

If you can't switch on tourney mode w/o some money on the line i feel sorry for you.

I ove trying my best in a friendly, because that gives me a chance to improve. That's what my friendlies are all about xP i totLLY AGREE with this :D

 

[8Bitman]

Oh dear god...

 

[P.I.E.]

Maybe it's just me, but I use friendlies to use a tourney mindset, because im at a tourney when i do it, and i want that person to remember that friendly.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

What are friendlies?

/FGC




Anyway, I'm one to play my hardest at all times. I truly believe that players that don't play their hardest at all times not only hamper their community by not allowing them to learn, grow, and adjust to you, but also hampering your own development. A great player would want his opponent to get better because then they too can adjust and both players can keep growing.

 

[8Bitman]

What D-Torr said...

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

This is how communities die... Everybody wants the quick buck so they're only motive is to play hard when money is on the line. Then they wonder why nobody wants to play.

 

[NickRiddle]

It's too hard for me to go 100% all the time. Plus, mindset changes without me wanting it to. ****sux.

This is a fallacy. You could be extremely tired/exhausted playing at 4:00 am and you wouldn't be playing your best. It wouldn't be, because you don't want to it's because your unable to. Players not 100% always playing their best isn't "hampering" the community.

 

[Vinylic.]

Mampam was tired at the tourney on saturday and he still won.

At least, that's what I think he says.

 

[Two-Ell]

Hmmm, this old topic again

 

[DJ Arcatek]

I like how this **** gets lively again when I start posting.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

You know Taylor, it's great you say that because you do bring up a great point. It's incredibly difficult to play 100% of the time. However, the intention to give your best regardless is what counts. I'm not immune to that either but I can attest and everyone that has played me can attest to me giving it my all at the point in time when I play(ed) them. Will I play sloppy? Of course. No one plays perfect. However, I'm not "griefing" anyone. You said you play your hardest in tourney matches, money matches, and serious training. I'm going to emphasize serious training because that's what this is about. I'm not talking about clearly fooling around for ****s and giggles. I understand the need for that too as a release but I'm clearly not talking about that and you should know I'm not.


Edit: and LOL at Garret

Edit 2: Vinyl, he was probably playing the hardest he's ever played. He was sweating buckets.

 

[Xaltis]

Well when Mampam says something like that you can only say "JOOOOHHHHNS" to him.

 

[Vinylic.]

No freaking kidding. He was so nervous when fighting ryo.
And when it's a last stock, it's like biting nails, lol.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

Also, Taylor, before the possibility that it gets out of hand, I'm just having discussion with you. Debates are good.

 

[Mampam]

Well when Mampam says something like that you can only say "JOOOOHHHHNS" to him.

LOOOOOOOOL, i had to work from 9pm - 4:15am THEN get up at 7am to take the bus to Eds appt, THEN do a few friendlies

i was only able to close my eyes on the road to NLL LOOOOOL

and LOL Vinyl, im always like that when playing my closest friends, its just a mental block i have

i was dying of nervousness before the tourney even started, hence, if you saw me lying on the couch before

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

You play ZSS. You're excused.

Like I said.

"JOOOOOHHHHHHNNNNNNSSSSSS"

 

[Vinylic.]

Yeah, I get nervous too, to point where my hands start shaking out of the frustration of playing someone that is taking advantage of me.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

 

[Mampam]

Yeah, I get nervous too, to point where my hands start shaking out of the frustration of playing someone that is taking advantage of me.

yeah, for me to the point where i almost drop my controller scramble for it and pause

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

 

[Vinylic.]

Forget johns and Leggo.

I'm gonna wait for that PR to come up sooner or later.

 

[Mampam]

LOL, Dtorr, too good

You should play to the best of your ability at all times. Clearly being in tournament gives you more pressure so you are going to play a little different; sometimes better sometimes worse. I know that I played better in friendlies with Seibrik tonight than I did at WHOBO3 in tournament. Does that mean I was sandbagging at WHOBO? No, something just wasn't right. I was playing to the best of my ability, but at that moment it wasn't too high.

You should never intentionally try less hard, it defeats the purpose of training and getting better. YOu shouldn't have to take it seriously only when you are "training" because every match with a character you are going to use in tournament is already training. I mean sure, you may be testing a certain playstyle so you might be playing worse since it is different, but you are still playing to the best of your ability with that style.

 

[ProtomanVX]

I am officially now in Pensacola. Hello, Florida.

 

[Wumbo105]

I must meet this johnathan fellow, you all seem so fond of him and his pictures.
