apex was saddening anyways, though i did like watching azen.

Pfft ice will take every tourney this year, he was just jks during apex, you'll see.
wtf @ javi anyway? i was expecting jman or even hax/azen to get what he placed.

also i think hax is about 8.4x better than s2j.

imo CPUs better than wifi when you know what to practice, because you learn timing and such and develop good control over your character. IMO when you are just starting, that is what can take the longest time, getting perfect control of where your character is, when during your jump you throw at the aerial and so on. If you are practicing spacing and techs, CPUs are better.

But if you really have no idea what you should be working on, then Wifi is acceptable. Plus it's more fun then CPUs. Take the time to play some friendlies with someone who knows your character at a tournament, so then you can make CPU practice worth while because you will have ideas in your head.

@Cao: yes Tidusani = RedX

IF we have crew battles, can people not bail and hold the tournament brackets?

Its really hard to get things run on time if everyones taking off lol. Might have to pull a Redact like a boss and DQ people if they dont turn up for their matches, yeaaaah.

-sun glasses-

Then again, I'm not running this tournament. I'll at leaat force jei to do it anyway lawl

The only thing that could come up is if I manage to get a job (which in a way would be a good thing since I would be able to save up for things like extra TVs for the tournament). Anyway I'm pretty much confirmed.

Oh, forgot to get a team partner.

Hey Dean, wanna team?

EDIT: Just watched the video. That Mario DI was actually pretty nice, especially the second stock.

Toshi I would like to win a tournament this year. But maybe not this one, maybe I should team with whoever I'm likely to team with at SummerSmash? I don't know.

nice video Jezza, not too bad at all.
I'd say you need to mix up your fireballs a bit; you always do a full hop fireball.
You zone nicely with it, but if you vs character with better aerial mobility they are going to work around it if you always do it.

Don't forget the power of empty jumps; you dont always have to do a move, and when they go up to punish the move they expect, because you have no lag you can do any move you want. That is just one mixup you can use to avoid people figuring out your fireball habits in the first stock. Don't get me wrong, you use fireball quite well, it's just you have some habits with it that people may catch onto.

I only watched two minutes of the video coz im capped
Will be good to see you at the tournament, you are a decent player. I think you may have some habits that you will let go of after coming to 2 or 3 tournaments, and then I think you could do very well.

What characters do you use other than Mario?

You guys are at the stage of continuous spotdodge downsmash; now because of this no one wants to grab because they will just spotdodge it. so you need to use a move that will punish the spotdodge or the harder alternative of waiting for the spotdodge to finish while holding shield and punish the lag afterwards. if they start shielding then start grabbing, if they start attacking then either spotdodge, roll away or shield -> punish.
You guys are also throwing out a ton of attacks which can normally be countered by simply shield grabbing, which is holding shield, wait for the attack to hit it then press 'A' while shielding to grab them. Shields are really good in this game to counter attack if used right.

Hope this helps and I'm not just talking gibberish, lol.

spotdodge downsmash?

Bad Habbit, less bad on diddy cos both his spoddodge and Dsmash are ****. I would just nado or shorthop -> Nair tibs whenever he did that and so he adapted to stay away from the situation completely with nanas and Fair. Guess he keeps using it for as long as people can't punish it. Also he mixes it up with no-spotdodge -> grab a lot when people start catching onto what he's doing. Am I wrong?

spotdodge downsmash is so popular it's actually a category of skill level in brawl
Everyone goes through this phase.

Unless they use snake, gl hitting people with that.

okay guys thanks for the tips. me and my brother have always played like this and i know if i go to these tourneys i will learn more things. I remember having a series of friendly matches with earl and he always beat me because he told me i overused the spotdodge and he could easily find a way to counter it. that was a LONG time ago, probably a full year. I have not been to one of these tourneys since january last year. (except for the manifest one, i entered and cosplayed as ike)

I've only just recently started playing mario, i go through different main characters all the time. I like to use Mario, R.O.B, Ike, King dedede and sometimes marth. I don't focus on playing one character because whenever i play brawl i always go random because we always play for fun and random matches. If i took the time to focus on one or two characters. It may be a bit easier.

I don't live in melbourne so I can't come to every tourney but I will come to the ones I can.

I can also bring a tv + brawl setup + hacked brawl for some lols :)

have you ever considered extending your stay for tournies and crashing a smasher's place? from my own experiences, i learn more outside a tourney than inside it.

I have.. but i work 30 hours a week and my days vary, sometimes i have weekends off sometimes i dont. Plus i dont live in melbourne. Im not sure when i would be able to stay at a smashers place. im busy on the 29th of jan and im working late the 27th of jan, then i got a mates 18th the weekend after. so its really hard to work around all that.
