Ok Guys For Those Who Don't Know, It's Vermy's B-day! If You Are In America, Then Post Now Because It Is Actually His B-day In Australia Right Now!!!!! Spam His Profile!

 

[Vermy]

Bomber, you're a f*cking sweetheart. <3333 Wubs, ultimate wubs.

Feeling old since a friend told me in 10 years I may experience grey hairs and that I'm halfway to 44. ;__;

That being said I'll still rep PT when I'm a grampaw. I will then go by Professor Vermy Oak, Ph.D.

Having a Smash/SF4/Alco-fest for a party. Calling it "Weekend At Vermy's". Ha. I'm so funny.

 

[Bomber7]

here's my lawls for the night.

 

[Phiddlesticks]

man that motivator is so necessary to the picture

 

[Dre89]

I know that some Pokémon are better against certain characters and not very effective against others, but it seems that, overall, they're pretty balanced.

Na they're not, most people think Squirtle is alot better than Charizard, and they're both waaaaay better than Ivysaur.

The theory that they're balanced is contradicted by the reality of matchups. Squirtle does the best against about 30 chars, and normaly Ivysaur does the worse, there are execptions of course, but that's the general trend.

Squirtle can pretty much do everything Ivy can but better, he even beats Ivy at his own game by spacing better than him from what I understand.

 

[Steeler]

[Shaya]

zomg happy birthday vermy!

I havent stumbled upon you on msn for tooo long.

 

[Magik0722]

Actually Magik,

I'm all about gimping Ivy at low percents.
That's the entire point of ****** Ivy early.

Marth: HI IVY!
IVy: NOOOOOOOO

Fthrow -> Fsmash
OMG YOU CAN'T EVEN GET TO THE GROUND BEFORE MY LAG IS UP AND I CAN JUMP TOWARDS YOU AND FAIR.
FAIR!
YOU HAVE NO OPTIONS EVEN IF YOU AIR DODGE
FAIR!
OFF STAGE
FAIR AGAIN
EDGE HOG.
Ultimate victory.

MK's dthrow has a similar effect from low to mid percents =).

There are obvious exceptions in some matchups

 

[MissionxStar]

Hey there. I'm new to PT, so I just thought I'd introduce myself here. Lol? Even though PT is my seconday, I love playing as PT...yah...so hi?

 

[Bomber7]

HOLA YO NO HABLO ESPANOLA! SPEAKADA DOICH?

lol kidding. Yo what's up. everything is in the Pokemon Center.

anyways, off to more things. YA~HA!

 

[Chuckles_KSU]

Is it just me, or do Toon Link and PT always seem to go together. I know like four cases where someone mains one and seconds the other. XD

 

[T-block]

I've actually been thinking about picking up TL lol

 

[Bomber7]

I don't really second TL, I main him just not as much as PT, I just let TL be a bench warmer however I'm starting to pick him back up again for friendlies and stuff, not so much for tournament play.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I think I might be picking up Diddy Kong as another character.

That's a big "might", though.

 

[Zigsta]

Dang, I think I'm the only PT who doesn't really have a secondary. XD

 

[TheReflexWonder]

Dang, I think I'm the only PT who doesn't really have a secondary. XD

You should look into it. They're nice to have, heh.

 

[Zigsta]

I can use a good bit of characters, but none of them are really that fun for me. I guess if I had to pick one to focus on it'd be Lucario or DK. I would say Bowser, but having two low tier characters isn't a very good idea. XD

 

[Chuckles_KSU]

You should look into it. They're nice to have, heh.

Unless you second Adult Link, like I do. XD

Use him mostly for matchups I'm personally ill suited for, such as Ike...

By the way, question. I seem to be having a bit of trouble punishing rolls lately, so... Since pretty much all three of PT's D-Smashes leave much to be desired, what's the best way to nail someone rolling behind you? Ness's roll --> B-Throw owns me... :/

 

[Dre89]

Is it just me, or do Toon Link and PT always seem to go together. I know like four cases where someone mains one and seconds the other. XD

Yeah I'm one of those too, although I don't main one and seocnd the other, I just can't chose which one to main at the moment, so I use both of them, although my PT is waaaaay better.

I never really saw the point of getting a secondary for a low tier char, unless it's for something like Bowser/DK against DDD or Gdorf against Sheik, the idea of a secondary to me always seemed to defeat the purpose of maining a low tier.

 

[Chuckles_KSU]

Yeah, that's actually a big part as to why my secondary is lower on the list than PT. Because I know that if I seconded, say, Falco or Marth or some other high tier, PT wouldn't see much action at all. :/

I don't think dsmash is always necessarily the best way to punish rolls. I think the idea is to learn the habit of when they roll, so you can dash grab them, get a free aerials on them, stutter-step fsmash etc. You could probably punish rolls with Ivy's usmash, but you'd have to be absolutely sure they're gonna roll.

Punishing rolls is kinda like how Dorf's will charge an fsmash in the opposite direction, expecting the opponent to roll with that after a flame choke, you don't always just press dmash, hoping to get them whether they roll or not.

 

[T-block]

Reflex doooo it. Diddy can be pretty fun. I'll have a vids of my Diddy up soon if anyone's curious >_>

 

[Chuckles_KSU]

I'm interested. XD

Actually, I don't know what it is, but Diddy matches are just fun to watch in general.

 

[Vermy]

I think I might be picking up Diddy Kong as another character.

That's a big "might", though.

I've been playing around with Diddy a lot, at first just to familiarise myself with bananas and get a foot up on the matchup. Now I'm enjoying him a lot, and have had good results. Squirtle, Ivy, Zard, a Swellow (Falco) and a new Chimchar (Diddy) XD. Pretty much dropped Snake, except for Teams when a Marth is involved.

i'm definitely more of a trap-type diddy, so it might not be as fun to watch as some others. it also means when my opponent is better than me and doesn't fall into my traps it looks like i'm playing horribly lol

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

im figuring out who to seconadry too

 

[Dre89]

Why do people bother secondary low tiers? Isn't the whole point of a low tier that you like using them regardless of their many bad match ups?

If you care so much about countering bad matchups shouldn't you just main a high tier instead?

 

[T-block]

There's nothing wrong with picking up a secondary for your worst matchups... I think I've decided I'll really only use Diddy for Snake, GW and D3.

Having a secondary is always a good idea no matter who you main

Marth ***** Snake vermy.

And okay Magik <3.
