My PT is sub-average :( . How should I take him to the next level?

@ Project M demo: Good thing Bowser got the counseling he needed before SDing.

I'm starting to find out that using the right moves at the right time and range help me out a lot. Also keep mobility at max as much as possible.

Sup PT fellas.

So if MK becomes banned, how much does PT become viable? Always wanted to know what you guys thought of that.

Whattup rapture!! I have thought about this quite a bit and I am excited because if it does happen it give PT a big chance to really show how viable the character is especially since we will get a chance to see more matchups with Diddy/Falco/Snake all of which I wanna see more of.

So I like the idea of MK being banned not because he crushes my character but because it will really bring light to the eyes of a lot of people who undercut PT without knowing much at all about him.

I figured you'd reply, in fact I was prepared for it. xD

To be honest, I don't know if I'd pick PT back up (I'm feeling some sort of combo of Snake/Ice Climbers), but without MK something does show promise, especially since, as you said, we'll see more of the match-ups with other top tiers, which is certainly interesting.

EDIT: The ****, it censored C o o n lmao

Every character has a better chance without MK around:glare:.


I won my first PT ditto:bee:, thanks to people's advice about using grabs more and other things. That is a fun ditto and I usually hate dittos.

Thanks everyone.

PT dittos are the besttttt

Yes, I will say that every time someone mentions the matchup.

It's tough to say how PT will be affected by a MK ban. If you take the line of thinking that MK is not our hardest MU (something of which I am no longer convinced...), then it's not obvious. I think we would see more Marth and Dedede, and less Snake. I still think PT would do better in that metagame than if he had to deal with MK.

Sounds like fun ^^

Man, Corneria came up in the stage discussion threads, and it made me think about how that was one of our best stages. I used to CP Corneria all the time in early '09 =(

Dude, I took a whole year from playing the game. I got bored and I'm back in it for kicks.

DON'T MAKE ME THE ONLY PT MAIN ON SMASHBOARDS! I CAN'T HOLD A MU DISCUSSION TO SAVE MY LIFE!

you should still play because everyone here I'm pretty sure uses PT as a secondary. Except me, I suck so bad, I can't afford to split my skill between multiple characters. Or at least to do it competitively. >_>

I'm disappointed that I haven't gotten to meet you all yet. I've only gotten to meet Reflex and Zigsta, which I have no problem with, but it would still be nice to shake the hand of a fellow PT main (or ex).

Ok, so out of the 40+ people that we expected, only 28 came. We still had pools only because for a $20 tournament, the TO wanted us to play our money's worth. I didn't make it out of pools because I only got 2 wins, but the majority of my losses were really close. I definitely made some progress during the tournament and felt I had played smarter and my mistakes were minimal. I also found out, I need to seriously step up my Squirtle game or else I might as well just throw the match. Other than that, Ivysaur was doing good for me and Charizard was just kicking *** all over the place (mainly because I played a few metaknights). I beat one of our PR players once in pools, I could have beaten him a second time and I landed a triple Fair on his MK to win the first of our three games we had to play. It was probably the most pro thing I've done with Charizard in a tournament. Other than that, it was fun. I'll try and keep on improving.

That's my story. The End.

Came in second at a small tournament in Georgia. Used mostly PT. I beat most people with PT; switched to Wario on a couple counterpick stages, and used Fox in Grand Finals to combat Meta Knight.

Also, dominated Doubles.

Regardless, PT is pretty cool.
