[AllyKnight]

lol at Amsah, whenever Brawl sucks or not, it'S different, bet you'd suck at it even if it's an easier game, haters gonna hate. **** Brawl haters, they're worst than Brawl community by a lot. Disgusting trash.

I was only half serious Ally, no need to get so defensive.

When I said it sucks, I meant that I find it boring, slow, campy and too different from its predecessor. It simply did not live up to my expectations.

How you interpreted that as "Ally was only able to do that because Brawl is easy, I'd own everyone if I wanted to!" is unclear to me. Especially since my second point actually explains why I think what you did is impossible in current day Melee.

Anyway, I'm off to bed.

Amsah back with the assertiveness LOL.

 

[AllyKnight]

Yeah sure Amsah, you got this. Not going to argue, especially with my broke *** english.

Ken was the first and last person to surprise **** in Melee and that was a long time ago when the scene was taking its first baby steps.

loool have you heard of this new guy called scorpion master?

 

[JesiahTEG]

Amsah's playstyle would probably translate into nearly unbeatable in Brawl due to his awesome reading abilities

Also he wasn't dissing Brawl, he's saying Brawl was extremely new at the time, making it easier to make an explosion in the scene, whereas Melee is so far along that the same scenario would be nearly impossible at this point

Isn't there like a neighborhood in NY with Jman, Alucard, and LambChops?

Best in your neighborhood is such a vague thing...

Man, I'd hate to be in that neighborhood... I'd never be tournament ready.

jman and alu live on the same block i hear, and djnintendo lives with lambchops. all of them live in the bronx.

 

[OkamiBW]

Or UCI having Zhu, MacD, Psychomidget, Kira, (Connor), and the dreadly Jkun.

some people aren't informed on that issue son/

No way scorp is mango.

Mango was probably just trying to take scorps credit for beating everyone with mario. Mango said he doesn't even play the game that much anymore. Don't believe everything you hear.

I hope you are trolling.

I hope you are trolling.

He clearly is haha

I think the first hurdle to playing in tournaments is always nerves it took me quite a few tournament sets to finally stop getting nervous to the point that I felt it was really detrimental to my gameplay

I think the 2nd big hurdle is hitting edgeguards haha ... sometimes I'm up an entire stock on someone but I'll miss the edgeguard that kills them ... and then I get ***** >_<

If I were to take in the steps I took to get better, I think it would look like this.

1. Learn basic technical skills, such as fast falling, L-cancel.
2. Stop killing myself for no reason
3. Learn how to combo with a character
4. Wavedashing

That was I think the first steps. And then the more advanced stuff came in.

5. And then I learned bad habits/patterns I had existed.. and then I always tried to fix it.. get owned a million times by top players... until I stopped making noob mistakes. I literally drilled it until I became frustrated with it.. but it's a good frustration. You discard what you don't need pretty much. (Of course they always exist and you must mix it up.)

6. And then I learned spacing. Like.. you don't simply throw out a fair in the opponent's face.. that's just asking for a shield grab. Learning through my mistakes has directly helped my spacing. You keep a comfortable/uncomfortable space between you and your opponent.. and then you can try to throw out moves accordingly. Pick your moves! It's important!

7. And then applying wavedashing during the right moments. (There are no advanced techniques, only skillful movements!)

8. And then I learned techskill.. well with Ganon but.. it's still important. Jumping from the ledge and wavelanding.. platform games.. etc. Learning how to mix it up to the character's maximum potential.

9. Through it all I learned mindgames too, however as I gained more experience... you can read your opponent and then **** him up. That's something you can't really teach. Basically the better you are, the less you have to worry about yourself. If you focus only on your opponent and what he does strictly then you just might be able to see 3 steps ahead of him.

I think that's pretty much it.
