What Ryan is saying is actually hard to argue with. Results are much the same. There is an established top 4- and it should be said everyone in that top 4 is actually very capable and skilled. Isn't a great difference in European results either between now and then. However it does seem like the UK is generally improving.

The game has fundamental principles that will never change. Doug would still be good now as he had acute reactions and played very adaptively. People misinterpret these principles and oversimplify the complexity of improvement and skill at the game.

Thing with giving out advice is those who are on their way already know what to do intuitively.

I agree with the first and last things.

The second things made me think :/

Reactions aren't that important, it's a process of postioning and option covering then reaction. It means that you already know most things they can possibly do and have to react less. Adapting is far more important than anything though.

The last thing is so true. Whats the point in me telling anyone how to get better, you have to do traverse the skill gap on you own. What I can explain is how to practice efficiently. Good practice is actually not easy.

I would need housing in London on august 5th (arriving very late at Stansted) and also on the 15th (leaving on the 16th quite early).
I would leave for birmingham on the 6th of august somewhere in the afternoon, haven't booked the coach yet.

MK, since May ´08. I've been playing a whole lot of random secondaries lately, though, ever since I stopped traveling out-of-state for Brawl.

Affiinity try get in contact with some of Londons best brawlers like Kasper, Jmiller, Siri etc as I'm sure they'd arrange a fest or something.

guys its really time to start booking for our big international tourney as you dont want to be unable to attend a massive tourney just coz you didnt book haha. For the record this is probably the biggest and best tourney most of you will ever go to.

If you think Fuzzy and Pro are **** just wait till you see Armada, Amsah, Faab, Pasi, Mindtrick, Zgetto and LOADS more people... no joke

I'll book at GT3 (if you can still pay Fuzzy to do that).

yes you can thanks again to Fuzzy for that =D. anyone have any idea how many people are wanting to book with Fuzzy at gt3?

remember the prices folks, its £23 all inclusive and £13 for tourney, floor space and food. you save £ 1 by not having food so imo its very worth the extra £1 for 2 meals a day haha

You don't have to arrange anything just because I'll be there. If there's something going on during that time, just message me if you can.

I'd love to play some new players. :)

Well we just had a Brawl tourney on the 28th, so I doubt anything tourney-wise for Brawl will be happening soon. <_<

I suggest that you post in that thread as I'm sure you'll get a better response than in here because no brawlers really use this thread much. =P
