I start shaking...=o slightly

But inside, I full jump when I mean to short hop, and end up doing aerials off the edge most.

My hands feel like rags and my stomach isn't too well settled. When I play I seem to side step way more and also throw out aerials which are probably going to be easily shield grabbed. Bad habits, very very bad.

When I'm nervous, I get cold and clammy, then I'll start shivering and I'll try to play more defensively.

I (my character) stand(s) still, doing abolutely nothing, in a zoned out state for a second or two. I also play much more conservatively (not jumping out as far for shinespikes)

I concentrate more and I focus. Which can sometimes end up in me flying off the edge, and sometimes I can own the opponent because I trap opponents with my moves when I focus. Sometimes I button mash when I get nervous. I HATE button mash.

I don't get nervous anymore, when I'm behind by <insert amount of stocks> I get serious/try harder than I did before.
Because obviously I'm doing something wrong, otherwise I wouldn't be losing.

Yeah, that´s the attitude of a winner.

I have tended to get too safe, like shieldgrab and in general shield a lot.
I´ll change those! :cool:

I'm not quite sure because I'm normally concentrating on making a come back, but I believe I start to jerk the controller in my hand whener they get a big hit in on me.

In the shadows. Or NE Ohio. Whichever sounds bette
I go into super-duper Zen mode...

My hands speed up, the smile leaves my face, and my mind goes blank. Everything that I do from that point on is pure instinct. My attacks come out faster, and I press my opponent to defend themselves a lot more.

I don't know why, but I play my best when I'm nervous.

I don't get nervous, but I get more serious and try to minimise the damage my opponent deals by being defensive and waiting for my move. Then I strike when I see a good opening, wich often leads into an edgeguard. And then I can often use up+B (I use Link) to finish them. Or I use dtilt to make another opening when they come back.

I throw around a lot of knees.














Outside of the game.
ahahahahah, that was set up so perfect for the way i read it. i only saw the top half and kinda shrugged it off, then i hit the space bar and paged down, saw the second half and started chuckling. nice one dude, couldn't have worked out any better.

I'm usually only nervous my first go at something. My first tournament, I was nervous like crazy. I could barely wavedash, I was clammy, over-agressive or trying to shield-grab too much.

If nervous, I mainly shield WAY too much.

I get too aggressive and just start to itch for a hit. Thats what gets me, cuz I end up missing an l-cancel or something just from being so frustrated, then get smacked around again >.<

Yeah sometimes when im down by X stocks I just start to play better.(or maybe more carefully)My friends hate it as I have a habit of making good comebacks.They say "****e,Aido just turned on the button"This saying was invented at our 1st tourney when i was playing my friend Dermot's Marth on rainbow ride and he was winning 3-1 and I ended up beating him.Everyone just kept saying "Jesus Aido you really turned on the button there!"If I know im going to lose and im being beaten pretty bad I just start making excuses like "Come on I spot dodged etc.

umm, im not sue if its just me, but i can't even see what you wrote,

on the subject, i tend to laugh at everything that happens when im playing, like if we're tied at 1 stock each and everytime i get hit or i hit him i laugh...a lot.

When I get down alot of stocks I start trying to get early kills. Either get to eager with the rest and end up missing and dying, or make a very obvious Kirbicide attempt that fails, I also start trying to spike alot more. Generally, if you are losing by alot, to come back requires some low damage kills, and things like that are some of the best examples of them, but you have to have a cool enough head to pull them off, and I sadly enough, don't.

I just change my play style completely. Usually to the opposite of what I was playing before.
IE: Agressive Fox to a camping one or vice versa.

Either way, I'm horrible at come backs so I usually lose.


Then counterpick Sheik FTW!!!
