Who Trained You

[Lovage 805]

no one did it alone, so who helped you get there?





for me it was Kilo replicate P and mango

 

[NeighborhoodP]

well, it'd be more like who i learned from to get good, since no one formally trained me

but panda when i was a hardcore noob, then luigi. hours and hours of getting ***** by luigi

 

[The___cheese]

San pablo trained each other with our blithering madness.

 

[ProdigyKid]

People all over the San Jose/Santa Cruz area.

Very first, IceNinja. True story.

And yeah I wouldnt necessarily call it training. Just playing people, and learning how not to suck.

In early 2007 I played a lot with a few students at the Claremont Colleges. At first I just played with some decent Harvey Mudd kids; they weren't that active in tournaments and they frequently switched tags, so I doubt that anybody here remembers them. Later on in the year I played with some CMC and Pomona students (Thor, Squee, Atul, and Yomi) who got me to actually start going to tournaments. From then on I mostly just practiced with whomever I played at tournaments, although playing P every now and then definitely helped me improve, also.

 

[Noble-]

Playing Atlus and Inks for hours and hours.

No formal training

 

[ROFL]

such a long list....

Original : Jizzanator

[Grunt]

I still need someone to train me.
but no one lives in WA.

My UC Berkeley crew Gentlemen of Bowles and other rival UCB crews would hold several smash gatherings and crew battles back in late '05/early '06. Not to mention playing a **** load of other ppl from my school. I guess you could say that fellow college students were my 'training.' And of course OC2, NCT2, Ken Biweeklies, NorCal Biweeklies, Best of '06, and several several Berkeley smashfests/tournaments (strictly speaking of 2006). But mostly smashing with my Bowlesmen at their apartment/dorm room in the early days helped tons.

But if I must drop a name in terms of early training. Panda. June '06. We played a bunch of friendlies, I got *****, and he's really good at explaining stuff.

Panda is the ultimate trainer.

Snap was the first pro I played.

And HugS inspired me the most. <3

 

[mikeHAZE]

Inspired me to play: HugS i saw him at a tournament, and thought samus was so ****en broken lmao.


Trained me: Inks

Taught me how to gimp: Inks

Taught me how to play gay: Mango

 

[NeighborhoodP]

although playing P every now and then definitely helped me improve, also.

[Little England]

Same with Mike, HugS inspired me the most.

Wreckless and I trained together.

P and DSF gave me the best advice.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

let's play melee

i'm trying to get a fox again

I need to get my ICs back in shape.

 

[Little England]

P's house Fri please.

 

[Charoo]

[NeighborhoodP]

kira said you got good connor

is this true

 

[Lovage 805]

kilo introduced me to wavedashing and taught me fundamentals
replicate showed me how gay fox is
p showed me how to uair
mango tries to train me now and then. i dont listen to what he says but then like 2 weeks down the road it all makes sense

 

[ConnorTheKid]

no, did you not watch me play in crews?

 

[NeighborhoodP]

link's weird to fight. if you grabbed at times when you chose to nair, though, you would've ***** him pretty hard. grab, combo, ledge stall when link is recovering and either bair or shine and it's a four stock

 

[Tee ay eye]

A few Socal people, South Paw, maXXXpower, and KosukeKGA

 

[hugQ Cortex]

I trained Mufasa.

 

[mikeHAZE]

you lost to a link?

 

[ConnorTheKid]

I see, well my Marth got decent-er but I think my Fox isn't making any progress.

Mike, I played Jesson in crews.

 

[sherigami]

well at first my friends showed me how to wavedash, l cancel, and such. I learned everything else from P lol. Also watching videos helped too, mainly hugs and KDJ

 

[mikeHAZE]

I see, well my Marth got decent-er but I think my Fox isn't making any progress.

Mike, I played Jesson in crews.

links sucks, but i guess if you dont know the matchup it's reasonable.

 

[ConnorTheKid]

I basically just nair'd the whole match. =/

 

[JTB]

Knivez and Luigi

 

[mikeHAZE]

jtb i didn't know you got trained

 

[TheZhuKeeper]

HydroKirby / Ian / Julian (not me).

And playing SS just about every tournament.

 

[SuperRad]

and now sheridan, that guy ***** for real

Bingo.

I've had no 'formal' training, I guess.
The single most influential person for me is Sheridan. Taught me how to D.I. and some more basic things I should have already known. I still need way more practice against him if I ever want to beat Jigglypuff...
Also I got some good advice from Germ during some friendlies that helped me get better almost immediately.
As far as people that have inspired me, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have kept playing past my first tournament [MLG Anaheim] if it wasn't for SilentSpectre's complete **** that tournament.

I also have to give it up to my friend that I used to play against almost every day. He managed to keep up with me pretty well for a while. It finally got to the point where I was beating his main [and only character] with any and all characters I picked though. He's better then me at Brawl though I think, not that I play that game.

EDIT: **** I ALMOST FORGOT
Romeo619 got me into this **** and is awesome
and
Butters000 from Arizona helped me over aim a lot not that it ever made me better.

 

[sherigami]

yeah I'm pretty awesome

 

[Lovage 805]

sherigami i want to punch you in the face

 

[ConnorTheKid]

wow....

10

 

[embracethe12]

i got good at playing sheik watching dsf/kdj
i decided to keep as a sheik main thanks to jopez (LMAO)
mango told me to dash attack, P told me space tilts and fairs, but probably only played like 5 friendlies in total with each...

-edit
replicate, tipZ, riptide. fox fox doc. that's all i know.

as for my icies, i just watched chus combo videos.
me and fly said we'd play some friendlies but never happened. ( we will fly)

edit 2-

****it sherigami there is a cooler sheridan in norcal

 

[mikeHAZE]
