I've added all the videos up through 5 June 2015 so far. Almost caught up. :D

I see I made a couple mistakes with some of the URL's and such but if you guys find any mistakes please don't hesitate to let me know.

Edit: Now I'm up to 21 July. Now I'll start putting the newer videos in the highlight section (considering all older videos are essentially moot now). So close to catching up. Almost there. :)

I looked all over youtube for any signs of Evo Pac-Man love. This is all I've found. Abadango switched to Wario for most of the tournament so there isn't much even from him this time. I still think he should have stuck with Pac-Man. I don't think he would have been destroyed like that if he went with his main. Anyways...

You know, I thought I watched that one already and that he didn't go Pac-Man, so I kept skipping that matchup. Thanks for catching that for me.

Edit: I just made a big oopsie. I deleted almost all of the new "Additional Resources" links I created before putting them in the section they belong in. I'll have to go back and find them again so I can put them in the Additional Resources section. At least all of the matches have been added so far.

From the Smash at the Break weely.

Winners Quarters : Me vs OCS Vex
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ8ipVYvO8A

^_^ (I definately think Pacman wins this matchup with customs off)

Winners Semis: Me vs LoF Nakat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtQzJ5dsEjI

Before the match Nakat mentions to me how he played a lot with Abadango at Evo and they were going even with each other, jerk :glare:

Losers Quarters: Me vs Apple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INPNovr0u6s

This guy upsetted a great Shiek player in the previous round :D

Losers Semis: Me vs OCS James
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo01-h2NJAk

Played really well the first round but I don't think I can do this matchup without customs. Like against Nakat you can see me making wrong inputs.

So everyone there thinks of me as one of the best players who regularly attends. Like some people get nervous when playing me or some get hyped for a chance to take out a great player. It's odd but nice lol.

Criticizim is always welcome.

So now we have 2 people that believe Pac-Man beats sonic.
You and @ PEPESPAIN PEPESPAIN

Unfortunately, Abadango won't even use Pac-Man against sonic :/

Edit: wait, were you talking about the sonic or the pit? Lol
Either way, he played that matchup incredibly wrong. I laughed when the commentators said that Vex believed that Pit's reflector would be able counter all of Pac-Man's fruit.

Talking about Sonic lol. OCS Vex is really good though, that was the first time I've beaten him. I was confident going in but I was expecting a closer set. He told me the next time we play he is going Rosalina. So that'll be interesting.

I haven't rewatched my losses yet, are they as painful as I remember?

Vs NAKAT, you need to camp the ledge with trampoline. You were trying to go toe to toe with Fox's neutral, but it's not going to work. Take your time and think out your setups more. You have no reason to go over there to him without some setup planned / going. I couldn't tell what you were going for half of the time.

If he's letting you charge, get Keys or galaxian in your hand. A galaxian OOS at 0% can lead to 42%. At mid %'s, it leads to 30% combos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_1NnfFjajE&index=33&list=PLc2mEAQQLG6gYX1BfkA_cc9hgLuKZg_Vv - me vs Fox from last Sunday. This is the second time I've played Jsalt in tournament. Looking back, IDK wtf I was doing. I'm ashamed to say that was me. I can say for sure that I wasn't focusing on him enough. Pac-Man has an entire moveset besides his fruits, and I wasn't using it enough.

Vs OCS James, use trampoline instead of hydrant for control. Hydrant isn't bad, but against a character as slow as Luigi, you can get away scott free every time unless he gets a lucky misfire. Stand behind trampoline and pellet shield the fireballs (let the pellet sit on the ground). Charge to a Key or galaxian and go from there. Pester his jump in with Fair, Bair, Utilt, and pester his landings with Dtilt or Fsmash.

I don't Vex had a firm grasp on Sonic. I think the MU calls for camping the ledge, but maybe that's just me.

I'll watch the other one + go into detail later.

Edit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F5tskxuprM&index=32&list=PLc2mEAQQLG6gYX1BfkA_cc9hgLuKZg_Vv

I have no idea what to do in this MU. I may try to fight Peach like how I fight Luigi, AKA camp the ledge because her combos and crap do so much %.

@Zage says that matchup is free. And I agree. You can challenge her in the air really well with Bair and she struggles when she has to deal with strong zoning

Edit: I have minimal experience in this matchup, but I'm starting to learn it more by fighting a peach main that I know through one of my crew members. So far, it doesn't seem that hard if you challenge her float and wall her out with fruit/hydrants on the ground

Peach has issues dealing with effective zoning/camping. Just play the keep away game and punish the moment Peach decides to throw out something laggy.

I would like critique on my Pac-Man here. Someone told me I am in the air too often and used my apple more than I should. Agree with that guy?

It helps for drake and I being former peach mains in brawl. there is one common angle most peaches come in on, and they are all about baiting.

use bair to challenge her float and don't be afraid to run in and up smash her. use keys and oranges to snipe her out of the sky. don't run in when she is neutral airing and try NOT to trade, because peaches love trading. even fair her out of the sky

Let the pellet sit on the ground? What exactly is the purpose of that?

Pellet sitting on the ground blocks grounded fireballs from Luigi, letting you charge to whatever unhindered.

:O I had absolutely no idea. Does block other projectiles as well, Fox's or Falco's laser for example?

Why do you use fair to bell? I use fair to key and it is a kill setup at 100% ~ 110% better than fair to bell because you can use it in the air.

Yeah the bell is good because you stun your enemy but I prefer killing him directly

(2nd match is my video) Ok, so my opponent wasn't very good, but I still felt real satisfied with this match when I got hit only 1 time and took only 1% in total, and I got some really funny shenanigans with the melon in this particular game.

Yo what's up guys? Haven't been here that much in awhile and I haven't playe Pac-Man all that much recently, so I feel a bit rusty with him and I wanted to know what you guys think I could improve on. These are all friendlies I've done with the exception of the Zelda video, taken from For Glory instead.

Could really use all the help I can get, would really appreciate it. Sorry for poor qualit, but I lack a capture card and youtube replay sharing doesn't come til' next month, I think

Also, could I please still get critique on these? Been over a week and still got nothing. Sorry if I'm coming off as annoying, I just dislike being ignored.

That Mario sucks. You played well, but that Mario never had a chance. Send us a Replay where you lose and We'll help you!

Hey everyone, with the newest update allowing to upload replays to Youtube, I've begun uploading some. I would upload matches, but most serious ones are more than 3 minutes long.

I have however been uploading various tech and combos for recording to see how they're done. check them out if you'd like. I'll be sure to upload more videos as best as i can.
