The temptation was simply too great...

I've begun to play MK now.

After a disappointing run with Falco last night, I've decided to pick up MK.

I've been working with Meta for 7 hours now, but I need help. I have footage, but no way to upload it.

Is anyone willing to record a few replays for me?

I'd gladly teach you if you lived closer to me.:(

Basically, approach with SHFA while fast falling and going back to approch most characters. Mix it up with glide attacks, glide cancels into attacks, tornados, RAR SHDA, and other aerials. Be really aggressive, but don't be stupid (i.e. putting yourself above Olimar or in another position where you are at a disadvantage). Watching Dojo will help you learn a lot as well, his approach is simultaneously straight-forward and excellent.

Ask specific questions if you need more help, or read the MK guide in this thread.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who fell into temptation.

Check out videos and the MK guide for help.

See, this is why MK should be banned, random people switching to the **** guy left and right, just because the aren't satisfied with their gameplay. Wow, is this what Smash has come to? **** I hate MK.

1. I'm not a random person.
2. I AM satisfied with my gameplay, so dont make false accusations.
3. I'm not asking for help people. Read the OP please.

Yeah, but you were looking for help with MK a week or two ago so I just kind of assumed... Plus, the fact that you want to upload vids led me to infer that you wanted your playstyle critiqued.

Guilty. Although it wasn't so much that I wasn't satisfied with gameplay. I felt like I had reached a level of mastery with Wolf and Fox, and just wanted a 3rd main. That's all.

Yes and Yes.
Good to see someone recognizes me.
I tend to approach with different methods.

Can anyone help upload videos?

Must every single thread devolve into this?
Pretty much. You know the pressure isn't going to let up until MK is gone. I want MK banned, but people making EVERY thread devolve into it is ********. Keep the talk in the right threads people? There is a reason they made a Should/will MK be banned thread in GBD....

You know you will never been known in your community. You'll just be known as another MK player if you resort to playing with him just because he is a great character. Stay with Falco and you'll get more props.

Good point.

But still, exceptionally good MKs are more well known than your average run of the mill MK mains. You'll still get recognition, but maybe less respect.

If you do pick up MK, don't just use him. Switch it up a little, when you fight another MK main, use one of your other mains to prove you can win. That'll show people it's more about skill then the character you use, which is what we need right now...

Also, if you want MK banned, pick him up a little, but not in tournaments, just in your free time maybe do some quick matches with friends using MK, learn his strengths, but most importantly his weaknesses. This way you'll know what to avoid and what to attack, instead of complaining about it in every single new thread.

Ummm, what?

This alone sickens me...
And no "What's wrong with wanting to switch characters" crap, look at his title. "The temptation was too great..."

You sir are correct. Mk is hardly even used here. I'm picking him up not as a main, but as a secondary. If anyone noticed, Lucario is my main, not Falco. I just happened to be using Falco at the time. I could care less if MK gets banned, although I don't want to see it happen.


Ummm, what?

For one, the title was a joke. I'm pretty sure in high school, they taught you how to grab people's attention with the title of your stories, no?
And if an internet post on a forum sickens you, you might need help.

Although I digress, and the topic is becoming OFF TOPIC.
The point is, I'd like criticism, and to do that I need someone to record a few of my replays.

Ok look. First of all, you can GTFO my thread. I asked for help. You're not going to, be gone.
I picked up MK because I want to, not because I can't win with my main. If you read posts, you'd notice Falco isn't my main. Lern2read nub.

Also, "sad"? Who are you to talk about sad? Who exactly are you?
I see no videos of you, let alone posts. Look at your post count. Who are you?

And on top of that, who is the one that MAINS MK? You. I don't main MK, and he's hardly my secondary.
Why'd you pick up MK? Talk about the easy way out.

Don't come into other peoples threads making accusations and assumptions. Especially when all someone did was ask for help.

TL;DR: GTFO.
