The fancy **** is overrated, learn how to use your C stick!

Have fun with your Archery Muffin!
yeah i know, my main problems atm are upthrow to upair kills, how to get back onstage from the edge and what do do when pressured in my shield. So my practising is all rudimentary skills

Good spacing wins games. If you have good spacing your recovery and general survival on stage will sky rocket.

Whens the next fest? I fancy playing! Work Wed to Sunday though but I usually start at 10pm so I can come before my shift?

We normally have the main fest on a Sunday every week but its easily moved to Saturday (like it was this week (attendance: 0) since there was a gamesoc lan today).

So yea we would love someone to turn up for once your welcome to come round next weekend just let us know when.

heres a good tip that a lot of players can forget about- Don't forget you need to keep an eye on your opponent just as much as you keep an eye on yourself. If you're always watching yourself you'll fall for so many tech chases, edgeguards you name it.

There's a fair number that play Melee and Project M in Glasgow (**** all people play Brawl). There's an event tommorow actually in 1LevelUp at 34 St Enoch Square (Buzzer 2). £3 entry and starts at 15:30 - 21:30. It's just friendlies though.

There's also a small tournament at the same place on 10 August --> https://www.facebook.com/events/316355181861530/?ref=4

Like anon said, join the Smash Scotland group for news/events. Smashboards is not used.... For whatever reason.

yup, the tournament on the 10th has a low entry fee and there should be a few people there so lots of people to play and learn from, tournaments are the best place to learn.
