Alright!

I'm TommyGreenShirt representing Binghamton.
Sonic is my main and my first tournament ever was MLG Columbus (where I had the pleasure of facing San first round.)

I'm just startin' to get into the Smash tourney scene but I love the competitive play. MLG was the most fun I'd had in a while. I'm sure I'll be seein' you guys here and there at tournaments throughout the year, starting for me with Syracuse.

Thanks a bunch, and thanks to KID Goggles for showin' me this page.

Sounds good, and Binghamton is pretty close to where I'm at iirc.

Its earlier august orientations shouldnt be that early.

Edit: When you get there perhaps you can convince the buffalo kids to do another Taste of buffalo tournament. Last 1 was extremely fun and id love to go up there more. Only been there once.
That's what I thought too. Some of my friends going to other schools had them already. I'm pretty sure mine is right around the time of Apex though.

I would be down for that. UB has a Smash club, allegedly, so I'll probably get involved in that for sure. And once I get a license & a car up there I can travel wherever in the region.

I understand why this is being said mainly cause you dont understand how fran work in terms of playing. theres a pretty obvious gap, its more noticeable for me cause ive played with both sharky and frannie a lot.
The amount frannie plays in about a month is about the same amount of time sharky plays in a week. Because of this she really doesnt understand how to get pass gay gimmick (Not referring to planking with mk or stupid sonic ****) im more refferring to egg tossing or lazers to illusion stuff like that. Sharky wins against frannie mostly by time outs. And i believe last tournament they played Sharky won game 1 due to timing her out. And game 2 frannie won (almost a time out again). And game 3 sharky won cause he cp'd to rc. A Stage frannie rarely plays on and even then it just result in sharky egg camping. Im not saying sharky isnt good cause i dont believe that. But his play style isnt very good. May work against people who dont know how to handle it (Ak, frannie, beta etc) But the people who have figured it out he'd probably never be able to surpass. Even actons figured out how to get passed sharkys gay, and now sharky has to go marth vs acton (He lost a money match yoshi vs falco a week ago).

Plain and simple. against top players. Frannie will do alot better than sharky. Cause top players can get around sharkys gay. And once you've gotten passed that theres really nothing left (being a yoshi that is)
Everyones adapted to his playstyle and frannie is coming around and learning to avoid the gay. She did beat actons lazer and illusion gay last tournament. Even though she almost got timed out with game 3 going down to the last 4 seconds. But shes learning. (Also note she beat acton wit Ics in which she picked up like a week ago).

I guess its hard to put in words. Shes probably 4th best in syracuse behind myself james and leet-0. She can probably go even with leet-0 and james when shes trying and playing well. And she can beat me on occasions as well.
That's the match-up in a nutshell. If I approach peach she destroys me in close range, end of story. Just because I play the match-up like I'm supposed to doesn't mean I'm playing a bad style. Hell, I played a few peaches at MLG and they all agreed with me on this point. She needs to learn to accept the match-up for what it is. I've got nothing but love for Frannie, but she needs to accept this mu for what it is.


edit: I just skimmed over this before and didn't notice the playtime comment. I believe I mentioned this at the fest, but I've been very busy these past few weeks and have gotten on brawl outside of the fests maybe 3 or so times. I've mostly been hanging out with other friends coming back from college/playing diablo ii lol. Hammerdins are so broken =P

Lol the match up isnt hard or that your playing it wrong im just saying she doesnt know how to get pass the gay. I can beat you with my peach vs yoshi (frannies peach is alot better than mine) cause i know how to get pass the gay. All im saying is when she does figure out how she wont lose to it again.

Btw I feel like I should sit Indian-style more when I play brawl because that's the only way I play, except at smashfests/tourneys and I feel like I focus better.

Yeah that is the way I play too San when I'm at home. Like that I usually have the controller tilted forward so its like parallel to the floor, and it seems to help my tech skill a lot. When I'm at smashfest I sit in a chair usually and my controller is tilted up kind of like at a 45 degree angle. I think my tech skill somewhat suffers from it, like I can't spike as well for some reason.

If we had buffalo attendance that would be dope as ****.

I sense sarcasm lol Don't hype me up too much, please, I don't want to disappoint you guys :colorful:

Im not hyping you for your skill (no offence) as much as Im hyping the fact that there will actually be someone in buffalo that has a car and the desire to go to tourneys. a lot of them would go to tourneys more often but they dont have rides and the ones that do are ***** and dont want to go to anything cus they know theyll get stomped out.

Alright I give up, I've been lookin for hours and asked people on AiB but nobody helps. I want to get a infinite replay code with the name tags that will work on and offline. The one I have right now I got from SHETH and it won't work if I play people online in the ladder. Can someone please direct me to where I have to go?

I mean I'd also be interested in custom textures and start up settings but for right now the very basics is what I'm looking for.

I have an extra controller I could let you borrow. If my current one breaks, I'll need it back, though.

And yeah, I didn't feel like spending more than 5 minutes on the picture.. Lawl.

Lol and you shouldn't be. I just like playing Smash, I've never played any of you guys, so I have no idea how good I am, I'm just assuming on the lower end of the spectrum. I can't blame them, traveling to go somewhere to play knowing you're probably going to do poorly could seem like a waste if you're not super dedicated.

I'm gonna be going home on Friday to get something done on my car. I'm thinking about stopping by the fest Saturday, on my way back. If I do, I'll bring back the controller you lent Nightro.

Nice Amber. I can tell that took a while of practicing. Remember though that's just a small part in being able to fully control and master your character's movements. Keep it up :)

Genericness and grindan to level 2000+. Disgaea is probably pretty alright though, lol.

Anyone get Sin & Punishment 2? It looks pretty awesome..
