this aint texas....
LOL.

U won respect from a campy Wario main. :)

Texas has flipped out on our PR update. I admit I think it was put out too soon, otherwise I would have contributed heavier on it other than saying stuff like "Tie me and Kosmos and Roy at 4th, oh and throw Infinity in there too" lol. But people are carrying pitchforks and torches and rioting it seems haha.

No Johns fellas. If you want to get better badly enough, you can. As Forward says 'Whoever wants to win more, will win.' This may not always mean this immediate match, but if you really want to be better than chris, im sure most of you could get a credit card and bus around the country for a couple of months, then come back and beat him. It's all about your level of persistence and drive.

Also I think the ranking should be:

Oklahoma/Brawl Peach/Melee Peach Power Rankings:


1. Chris

2. All others


If you include the times that I was there it would look like:

1. Falco's Up-Tilt (<3 Kuni)
2. Chris' Combosthatdontmakesense
3. All other moves

Silly Coty, I fixed it for ya.

Also, he's right. If someone really has A) The Drive and Will to Win, B) The Resources, and C) The Time, you can easily put yourself in a position to win a ton of tournaments against pretty much everyone.

For example, I've always had the drive to improve, its the major factor that allows me to keep up with most of you despite playing a sub-par character-- I FIND ways to win when other people would write it off as impossible or not worth the effort. I've always lacked time and sometimes the resources to really push my game to that next level.

Chris used to be simply average at best. However, his drive to want to be better than anyone else has led him all over the country; he's traveled to more tournaments than I can keep count and has played with some of the best players of all time. Those experiences have led him to the top here and abroad several times.

It goes back to something I follow as a mantra when it comes to competition:

"Hard work will always beat talent, unless the talented work hard."

I.E. I still believe to this day that Kuni is one of the most talented Smash players I've ever seen, but he just doesn't care enough about being the best to really focus that talent and take down Chris.(That's not a dig on Kuni, he just has higher priorities than being the best at a video game) Chris lacks Kuni's natural apitude, but he decided that he was going to see just how far he could go if he tried hard enough-- Add a few months practice and tournament losses, wins, and friendlies and VOILA! Chris is now in Beast Mode.

My main problem about not going to tournaments/smashfests is parents/rides...

If only I lived in Norman... or could drive :(
It's cool, Dillon. You're so young that time really isn't a factor for you, and you play on Wi-Fi a lot so it's not like you're not getting any experience under your belt. About the only thing you don't do is play in a lot of tourneys, but that will come soon enough.

I wish you lived closer to the heart of the community, but hey, at least you're not a young Po Pimpus who didn't even HAVE a community to play with even on an occasional basis.

Besides, you're pretty freakin' good for your situation... Once you can travel regularly, I expect you to become one of OK's premier players.

Don't dissapoint me, Deezy ;)

have patience, young padawan. smash will still be alive and well when you're done with it.

plus, i just thought about it, and deezy plays other good people in brawl only about as often as i do. he shouldn't be as good as he is, it's scary. once he can drive, i estimate a new king of smash.

Also, he's right. If someone really has A) The Drive and Will to Win, B) The Resources, and C) The Time, you can easily put yourself in a position to win a ton of tournaments against pretty much everyone.
gentlemen, we can rebuild him. we have the technology!

My main problem about not going to tournaments/smashfests is my huge johns
I can fix things too! :-D

<3 OK

EDIT: Brandon's quote is also the most perfect truth on the subject I have ever found. The BEST are always the talented, those that work the hardest are always easily the second best... but still only second best. In everything.

Man if Bassem flakes on our smashfests when he is at OU I will never learn anything... Bassem, when you come to OH SNAP you can crash at my place. Tell your parents it is like getting ready for living in the dorms.

One house isn't enough for Daniel and his forty virgins.

Now if only he was Islamic, then that might actually have been funny/insulting.
