I don't want to be a downer, but I won't be getting any better and haven't gotten any better in the past three years.

On a lighter note, I'll teach anyone anything. If you come to me with a specific scenario that keeps beating you I'll know how to get around it!

You not having gotten better in the last three years is total horse **** and you know that.

Now you sound like me with frame options and mechanics lol.

Also, we need a money match to determine which of us is better.

Comparitavely I've gotten much worse. I used to beat you and everyone else easily, including Jesse. And I even took games off of Neil. You guys have gotten way better Nd I'm forced to take shortcuts to beat any of you in tournament now

in other news I finally figured minh out. I noticed it from watching him play SF.

he plays the same way in ever game. and I think I got him now.

Id be willing to do one last money match with him.

Pokemon stadium. jesse is marth/fox. Im ganon.

he hits me slightly off stage on the right side.

I use my double jump to get back over the stage, so Im at like battle field middle platform height and im going to land onstage, near the ledge.

jesse is at the inside edge of the right side pokestadium platform, dash dancing.

Hes out side of my range. If i try to do a falling up down or forward air, hes just gonna DD out side my range and grab my lag and do the same thing all over again.

If I land without doing anything, hell grab me before any of my ground moves come out to stop it.

Possibly the most aggrivating position in the game for me.

Well, you can choose not to land in that position, and either go for the ledge or go for midstage. But if you do make that choice and you notice jesse is DD'ing for a grab, waveland back instead of just landing and jab him. Now he's going to find a solution to this, or predict it once he gets hit by it, and he's going to act accordingly and beat you next time. You just have to mix it up! go for midstage more often because jesse loves ****** people at the ledge

I think a lot of that is bull****. We are all getting better, you just don't realize it, because it's all internal community comparison. Rankings haven't changed much, but we are all at a level that we couldn't hit even a few months ago.

I use the same tools to win as I always have. And they're not very good. None of you have played me enough over the years to make a good judgment on it.

I feel like that statement is degrading to our ability to read and learn from our opponents.

Nitro- Definitely getting better man. However, you get dash dance grabbed too easily. Also, try playing around with different characters dude. Most of the time I can tell if a character fits a certain person, but in your case, I never feel like you should be playing Ganon. Falco seems like you dude believe it or not. For some reason I see you as a Falco player. Just my 2 cents really, I haven't played you enough to like, analyze your gameplay. Come over more pl0x.

An epic poast

I do everything I can to get up there to Rochester, but I live 45 minutes away.

Although Spamus turned to me on the drive back home and said, "We should do this every weekend over the summer."

I'll work on my Falco, but it's AWFUL.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hyuSJcA05k

The matched I played Falco pretty much all I did was spam shine and dair and f up spacing. I managed to win at the end because Falco's so broken and good at punishing.

I need to get MUCH better with Falco in other words

I love Cura/Goggles trashtalk, you can never tell when it's 100% serious or 100% joking


Not as good as Foy vs The World though

So u figured it out eh? My link plays a lot like my guile in SF. It also shows in my playstyle wit my marth and shiek. Well if ur up for it I'd be down for another mm. Maybe this weekend at Jesse or at smash club.

Pyro, I think you have 3 basic problems

1. you dont take enough of the openings you are given.

2. You dont take the most advantage the times where you do get an opening.

3. Unlike minh, you dont always choose the most effective option when youre comboing or edgeguarding.

Also, you commit from a nuetral position wayyy tooo much.

Absolutely itching to brandish that massive PR E-peen, eh MOSS?

Them numbers.
Sorry, bro, but you've gotta wear aviators and grotesquely slaughter up the ranks with a lightsaber.
