Hope these videos can give insight on my strategies against Snake and MK. I'll get some up later with Marth.

sigh

thats why those levels should be banned, scrubs can beat people on them

 

[Van Jones]

This may be true, but UTD Zac is no scrub!

<3 Zac

 

[A2ZOMG]

The matches vs Dojo...hilarious.

I really liked the matches vs Ice. You have really good patience and spacing. Nice seeing someone have that. That's something you don't see often on youtube. Seriously.

 

[Neb]

Really nice, its great seeing other G&W players finally sneaking in some chef in their gameplay!
Its a handy projectile.

Good **** Zac; that golf player playstyle just works wonders

 

[UTDZac]

Wow you still remember about the "Golf Player" style analogy? Haha. I agree, I really like it. Unfortunately it has gotten me the reputation of "playing gay" in Dallas. Before this people just thought Dallas was gay because everyone plays MK.

 

[TheStig]

yoshi's island looks good too bad its banned in most tournaments

 

[Hylian]

<3 Zac. Can't wait to watch these.


And doesn't the thing on lylat work sooo well? I've been using it on every snake I've been playing and it's worked wonders. I almost beat Razers snake in tournament on battlefield at hobo 14 doing the same thing haha.

Against Razer... good to know. I've got a MM with him at the college station tournament.

 

[Pikabunz]

Really nice matches.

 

[Anauel]

Great matches. Some of these were hilarious, like the counterpick matches haha.

 

[Ruuku]

Nice golf player gameplay! Too bad Corneria, Green Greens, and Pipes are banned in Florida.

What about my three other favorite counterpicks? =P
*wants list of tourney legal stages in Florida*

 

[Noa.]

In Florida, our neutrals are Lylat Cruise, Final Destination, Battlefield, Smashville and Yoshi's Island.

Our counterpicks are:
Brinstar
Luigi's Mansion
Delfino Plaza
Pokemon Stadium 1
Pokemon Stadium 2
Norfair
Halberd
Pirate Ship
Frigate Orpheon
Castle Siege

Pretty depressing, isn't it? We have a total of 15 stages to play on.

 

[UTDZac]

Wow that's sad. And wtf is Luigi's Mansion doing on there...
Norfair doesn't seem like it fits, nor does PS2. I think Pictochat should be on there if PS2 is.

I'm a big fan of melee stages, probably because I played melee competitively.

 

[Needle of Juntah]

green greens is terrible. anyone who thinks otherwise is probably terrible at smash

 

[cutter]

Here in Oregon we've had our fair share at loathing many counterpick stages. Some of the names we have devised:

Jungle Japes: Jungle Planks
Norfair: No Fair
Pictochat: Pictocheat
Pirate Ship: Pirate Gimp
Rainbow Cruise: Rainbow Lose

 

[Noa.]

Yeah. Lugi's Mansion does suck. Heck, with Brinstar on you'd expect Green Greens on as well. They both have ridiculously close stage boundaries, and have stage elements that are dangerous.

And Pictochat does belong with our stages in comparison to PS2. Florida's stages suck.

 

[Ruuku]

For Florida tournaments, I usually go for Norfair, Pokemon Stadium 2, or Brinstar.

 

[cemo]

Rainbow Cruise is banned in Florida?
That's disgusting.

At least you guys have Norfair.

Montreal's Counterpicks (at a recent tournie)

Neutral stages (will be on random select):
Battlefield
Final Destination
Yoshi's Island
Smashville
Lylat Cruise

Counterpicks (are not on random select, but are legal stages to be selected):
Pokemon Stadium - Melee
Rainbow Cruise - Melee
Delfino Plaza
Frigate Orpheon
Halberd
Castle Siege
Jungle Japes - Melee
Brinstar - Melee

It's not so bad, except for RC gets banned almost every time. In that case usually I'll take like... Japes/Frigate/Delfino. ;.;

 

[Noa.]

I tend to counterpick Norfair, Halberd and Delfino Plaza when I feel like it. I tend to ban my oponnents best stage, or Yoshi's Island. I hate that stupid island.

I lol'd.

Also, **** Green Greens.

 

[furiousduffmanx]

You played vs snake very carefully and thats how it should be. One thing that i can suggest is to try using fast falled up-airs right after n-airs, they get damaged and/or pushed up.
on MK matches I liked your fallen n-airs to counter his up-bs. seems that you got it timed really well

 

[UTDZac]

Falling NAIR against MK when you know he is going to use UpB is AMAZING. It usually just overpowers MK's attack, sometimes you both get hit, but it's rare if you time it right. Obviously it doesn't work against a grounded Shuttle Loop because that has invincibility frames.

It only has one actually on frame 5. Still works once the hitbox starts.

 

[The Reverend 814]

I like the snake matches. Lord knows I've dealt with my share of campy snakes and this here just looks fun to do to them. Nothing like tormenting a tormentor XD

 

[Noa.]

Now that I've watched most of the matches, I took a lot of things from them. Thanks for posting them up. But they also make me envy of having Green greens as a counterpick.

does it have to be falling? or fast falling? what happens if you don't fast fall it? or do it rising? do you get knocked out? (i usually dair mk's SL, but if nair is better, i'll switch)

too lulzy..

 

[pheX]

I'll watch them in a minute but i am SOOOOO interested in your marth videos! Thats the only match up in which I see myself forced to change my character.

 

[Corimon]

Wow, really nice. I <3 the matches against Ice.

 

[POKE40]

**** I live in FL...
RC is banned...
that is as gay as the stupid poll in year 2000 election...

@Topic: GJ on the vids anyways.
I feel like I suck at G&W these days ):
