That's what I was worried about.

I read on wikipedia that if we wear our hats while we play our characters get a 50% power increase.

I'll work on it, it was my first tournament that I entered, so I was of course nervous.

your mental state is extremely important when it comes to accurately judging your level of skill. Cura can tell you, for example, that I've been raging quite a lot lately about technical errors during my practice with him. I know this isn't good for my progress at all, and over the next couple months I'm going to work on that.

I had some issues during the tournament as well. For example, during my match with Moss in game 3. As the time was running down, the game quickly turned into hit and run, as anyone watching the match could tell you, and it started to provoke some interesting commentary behind us. I paid a bit too much attention to the talk (at one point I think I jabbed him to get the lead and ran to the opposite ledge ASAP, someone laughed at it behind me and I even cracked a smile lol) and I feel like I lost some mental focus in the process. Definitely not johning, because this is something completely under my control and I need to get rid of it.

My second issue is mental endurance I guess. After losing that super long set to Moss I was pretty drained mentally, and discouraged. At this point TommyGreenShirt would probably beat me regardless but I feel like I could have done a lot better than I did, and threw out a lot of desperation moves that got me punished hard. Now that I think of it internal frustration is another major issue of mine.

TL;DR your mental state is just as important as any other part of your game.

Hmmm, This is the 1 problem ive really never had. I hardly ever rage, or get mad at my self mid match. I think its actually been declared that i have almost no emotion while im playing. This is the mindset i think everyone needs to have to win. I dont get over happy when i do something good or cool, i dont get mad when something gay kills me i just play my match and that is all.

I always try to stay calm in matches, even if I trip into a snake forward smash.

My problem is being too calm/lax to the point where I don't care if I get punished here and there and sometimes don't even care if I drop a match or a set.

I should care and should try to stay focused in order to be ready for everything. I get inspired by people when I play them who look like they're focusing so much that I should, too.

That's a mindset I'm going to be working very hard on to achieve.

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys, this was the ****! I had so much fun playin' all of ya'll in friendlies and in the tourney, just wish I could've got more matches in with everyone, that bein' my only regret. I learned a fair amount too about some match-ups I wasn't sure about and how to improve my game. I can't wait for the next tourney or chance to go down and hang with ya'll again.

And Mana, you gotta let me know when we can chill dude. I need to get wrecked by you in Melee so bad. XD

Great info to know...San, you should post as much as you can about your mindset. I would be extremely interested if you could possibly elaborate on it and tell us your tournament mentality, how you stay calm, etc.

I want to see! Who did what at melee at the tourny?? any upsets?

I lost to jesse first round in an admittedly close set, and then I beat what felt like every single person in the venue in losers. then barely lost to neil.

Sharky said:
silver beat general 2-0 in what general told him was supposed to be a tourney match, but it turned out they weren't supposed to play yet lol. I think it should still count for rankings though because they both played it as a tourney match, thinking it was a tourney match.

Seeding in melee was pretty dumb. I got a bye lmao.

this all seems right. I agree

Lets just say that i made money off melee :]

and I didnt, despite the fact that i tied with him.

Me all day. I am willing to trade if I have the lead instead of do more conservative things that would put me further in the lead.

Unlike me, where I have to trade hits to get the lead, since im ganon lol.

For those of you that are looking for people to play with and tourneys to go to in New York City, you have come to the wrong place.

I apologize for not realizing you meant LI when u mentioned NYC.

You know what would make a great side event...

A side event where anything goes. No lgl. No banned infinates. No scrooging rule. Almost all stages allowed. No banned inf dimension cape. Just 3 stock and an 8 min timer. Or 7 to speed things up a bit.

It just sounds so fun because planking looks really fun to do. I think I'll go do it against a cpu now.

...Yeah it actually was fun.

I almost got spiked to death by a lvl 9 diddy for getting the timing just right on my down b to grab the ledge again. Surprising how fast the time goes by when nobody's complaining about how boring the match is. Boring to watch, fun to plank. :D

Because I choked, I know I can do better. Just because I lost then doesn't mean I'm not going to improve. Duh. :laugh:

Hey, I may be traveling through New York on my way to MLG DC.
I'm hoping to be there a week before MLG DC. Looking for housing for the week where I can play lots of friendlies.
Also very much hoping there's a carpool going down there I can get in on.

I also have plenty of people who can vouch for me on housing, since I've traveled across the country over the years to play Smash X^)
