[Morin0]

[Seartu]

Someday I will run into you, maybe this summer. I will get destroyed but then we can s2j and I'll feel fine.

 

[DanteFox]

Now that's what I'm talking about.

 

[WestBallz]

Same goes for me....If anyone needs tips/advice or just want to play me dont be afraid. I want socal to get better and i want you to challenge us great players. Need Di specifics? need advice on how to use ur character? ive played almost every character for a good amount of time so don't be afraid to ask for tips even if i don't play your main.

 

[shadrach kabango]

awwww it warms my heart to see westBALLZ in a giving mood

 

[CableCho57]

i'm gonna ask you both you guys hella questions (assuming you're there this saturday)

esp you westballz since youre a falco main

 

[blindhobo]

what if i've invested too much time into a ****ty character? >_>

but honestly i feel terrible when i'm playing people and doing nothing but getting constantly *****. feels like i'm wasting their time and it's not a mutually beneficial experience...

 

[shadrach kabango]

never too late to switch mains. i did it after 6 years

 

[pandacheck]

I got ***** by westballz n tafokintz at northwest manifest in teams, first round of teams, best advice i got was getting ***** in first round of teams, was tight

i love when people ask me technical questions because they're always easy to answer. i don't love when people drably ask "wut am i dong wrngggg" and i give them a MEDIOCRE answer they could find anywhere. if you want real advice ask real questions.

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

johnny i promise next time i see you we are gonna have hella SERIOUSLIES

you've given me really good advice before and I really appreciate that

man socals so cool. <<33

Just like with everything else, getting better requires one's own effort, so I generally tell people to solve their own problems, unless it's something that they can't find out on their own for one reason or another (lots of inexperience, the problem actually being difficult, etc.).

 

[Lovage]

that too

when it comes to technical things or questions about the game itself you should never be shy to ask. those questions are easily answered by anyone thats good at this game and doesn't take us any effort at all. it's great to ask those kinds of questions imo.

 

[ChinesePanda777]

****! Shoulda had more courage & thoughtful questions at NWM.

 

[shadrach kabango]

y'all don't even know oscar is ****** lives in the practice thread

 

[NintendoKing]

The best way to get better is to go to tournaments & smashfests to gain experience and amass as many tactics, strategies, and techniques as you can so that you have a vast repertoire to call upon in any instant where you need to change-up your style because someone has started to figure the prior one out.

Experiences and the ability to learn from those experiences are what make great players great.

I completely agree with lovage and westballz 100% on specific techniques, only as long as all options are covered for those techniques. Lovage using the analog stick for everything would make it hard for somebody to learn how to do say a drop waveland from ledge because **** using the analog stick for that haha.

If anything I'd talk about the psychological aspects of offense, defense, spacial awareness, and momentum. That's just me though.

EDIT: Yeah, what Fly said hahahaha.

 

[Inu_Yasha]

Bump~

I'm in the bay area for the next 6 weeks for an internship. Belmont, specifically. I don't know where to begin looking for people to play smash with so I figured this might be a good place to advertise. If anyone is somewhat near me and down for some playtime let me know!

 

[commonyoshi]

The Norcal facebook group is a pretty great place.
