k, I might show up. I have to wake up early tomorrow to leave for Vegas though so I probably won't stay long.

Hey, everybody. Just wanted to introduce myself and maybe meet some people for fests and whatnot. I'm located near Provo. I play mainly Melee and some PM. I've been playing for about a year now, but I'm still definitely a scrub. A couple of friends and I would love to start attending tourneys and smashing with more people. I'd love some info on nearby smashers, regular smashfests, etc. I'd be down to host some fests, too. Oh, yeah. I work in Sandy, so it'd be pretty easy to meet up with SLC people, too.

What are you doing today/right now? I'm in Provo. You could come over and play for a bit.

LOL First two posts after signing up on the boards is a double-posted post.
Anyway, welcome! There's a Smashfest planned this evening in SLC (right by the University of Utah).
I might come. Depends on who else comes, I guess. (Sinz, if you could come, that'd be amazing, since I want to play you some more in P:M!)

Yeah, sorry about that double-post. Haha. I was trying edit my poor grammar... damn it. Tuesday, I'll send you some contact info. What's the info on the fest by the U of U?
No worries. I live at 20 S 1300 E in SLC. It's a block away from the U. Fest goes from now until whenever.

Probably won't make it. The flu is getting worse, and it's best I don't get everyone sick, anyway.

That's just cuz her teleport is way too op in P:M. It has like zero lag and you can combo out of it. Something doesn't seem right with that.
But regardless, I'll MM you if you want

The better you get, the harder it is to get better. That's something troll Suarez tells me. Its true though. So if your improving fast, it just means you have a lot of basic stuff to learn still. I don't play melee anyway so I'm not one to talk.

in cedar city we had had an elder's quorum activity smash tourney with all titles except PM. i won brawl but i lost melee and 64 because "everyone wanted items" and "all stages random" pfff casuals
pokefloats, rumble falls, and ice climbers moving mountain stage can all die
i was kinda pissed because the only 1v1 were finals' games the rest were 4 man 4 stock FFA's because there was too many people

Is it possible if i can get some reviews on a couple matches from the Ogden tourney?
I was playing really scrubby and bad that day and I was pretty frustrated with myself. So excuse the occasional expression of anger from me.
Me (Doc) Vs Colus (Marth)
I believe this is Colus. I'll correct it if i need to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_KQPIOegB0
Me (Doc) Vs MeleeRuler (Falco)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9Az7CjjbfM
I would list off what I noticed from watching these but I'm too tired right now and I might do it later tonight.
Conclusion from watching these:
I was playing really scrubby and my tech skill needs some serious fine tuning. That and I also need to work on fundamentals and match up knowledge (I really didn't know the falco match up but kind of learned it as I played). This includes knowing the strengths and weaknesses of my opponent as well as my self.
Result:
Since that tournament I've been practicing every day both on my own and against other people. Practiced a lot of tech skill and tried to find ways to apply it and worked on my fundamentals as I played with other people. Currently studying frame data and seeing what I can get out of that. Mostly Doc's right now but I'll eventually move on to the other characters. Also studying different common match ups.
Goal #1:
Do not repeat the scrubby performance at that tourney
Goal #2:
Try to practice and study as much as I can and learn from other people
Goal #3:
Kick ass
Edit:
Goal #2.5:
Git gud
Double edit:
Goal #4:
Don't get frustrated and stay calm and chill when I play

Dude items are the best. And FFAs are even better. You can just turtle all game and abuse broken as **** items to 3-5 stock everyone (depending on the game). Games with Items on, all you have to dois not commit to anything too crazy and just control as much of the stage as possible, let your pokemon from the pokeballs be the aggresors! And in FFA, try and only target the people who are away from the crowd and try to stay out of center stage. Dont run in and try and beat up a big group of people, let them all wittle each other down and you just poke at them, beating up anyone who tries to come at you.
BTW, since those replays reminded me, if there are going to be any smashfest during weekdays (not weekends!!) I can go and bring my recording stuff, im willing to record & upload anything. I work weekends so thats why i cant (and dont) go to anything then. Im getting my laptop fixed today cuz that piece of **** is starting to piss me off, so once thats fixed it should be able to actually run the recording software again lol.

INB4 FFAs suck...... really hard.... coming from the guy who has to play FFA every day if he wants to play Smash at all.
Begin angry rant:
I'm so sick of FFAs... We have this room called the bunker at our school and it's supposed to be a sound proof room where students can be loud without disturbing the near by classes. Anyway.... all we ever did was play brawl. So I bought a melee set up so me and the 3 others that play melee can play melee on our own. This set up was also set up in the bunker since there is no where else to put it. A couple weeks later the wii's disc reader stopped working.... so what happens? Everyone uses my gamecube to play melee. For 2 months there were melee FFAs and my setup was turned into a ps2 and older generation set up. We were just playing a bunch of FFAs (thankfully no items since people are somewhat smart here when it comes to smash). At first I was fine with this but then I realized I wasn't getting any practice from this and I as a player I was getting worse. SO I just stopped playing the FFAs and I would play on my own with my emulator thanks to a GC controller adapter that I have. It was pretty much like this until 2 weeks ago when I got fed up with this. Being part of the club that is responsible for the bunker and being the owner of my set up I said screw it. I'm putting my set up back together and no one can move it except for the controllers but there must always be at least 2 controllers in the GC except for the end of the day when I bring my controller with me. So now instead of people playing on this other T.V. they're playing on my set up. But this made an affect. Less people are playing cause they want to wait for the wii to come back (which it finally is now) which means I get more time for myself. That and I found out people don't play in the morning from 8-9:30ish and later in the day from 4-5:30ish so I'm still finding time to play!
Result:
Much practice was had this last week and my melee has gotten a lot better.
Moral of the story:
Don't play FFAs
End rant
OH AND IF I CAN GET SOME ADVICE ON MY MATCHES THAT WOULD BE GREAT JUT GO UP 2 POSTS

Well, I'm pretty not that great at giving specific advice, and I only play so much Doc in Melee, but I guess there are a few things I could say. One is that I felt you didn't make enough use of the cape as an edgeguard, and that when you went for back air edgeguards you stayed near the stage as opposed to going out towards the person recovering. Another thing is when you were playing me, you got caught in your shield a lot, and I ended up getting a bunch of grabs off of it.
Also, were those the only two matches recorded?
