X or Y? - PT Social

[@TKbreezy]

Yea Dude I Pretty much been going all kirby in all of recent tourney's

I still PT any DK Though...love that matchup...lol

 

[lucas_irineu]

I don't know, people can do whatever they want, their choice, but I don't really think trading fun for wins is worth it in the end. But if you have fun with a high tier: Go ahead. Fun is what matters after all.

 

[Bomber7]

besides, it's kind of an identity issue. "Bomber" playing a non-bombing character. It's unheard of.

I vote we give bombs to Squirtle!

 

[Zigsta]

What Zigsta said, yes.


Also. Bowser CPUs suck.

They're so embarassingly awful!!

 

[~Radiance~]

lol well im really using PT for a bit to help me with 2 things

1) transition into playing wifi. The players at my school are terribad, and i need someone to play to keep me up to speed. im losing it here with pika and i wanted to use PT for a while to help me get used to wifi before switching back to pika

2) give my pika a break and time to learn new things. I really just want my pika to learn off of what i can learn with my PT.

i honestly prob wont be going PT for a long time, im just tryna use him for a bit to help my pika. im def gonna try and get him to my pikas lvl and take him to some tournies and see how i do. Just need a bit of a break and alting PT seems like itd be alot of fun since my pt plays alot like my pika, cept from what ive read im gona have to change that lol

sorry if my reasoning for using him isnt very good, i just want a fresh start on my playing right now. i got wrecked on wifi last night and it was great, i hadnt had competition like that in a long time. but im def going to do my best with pt and overcome what i can.

also zig, id love to play during summer. ive only ever played one bowser and it was KingKong at apex.........and i had no clue how to treat that mu as pika lol.

 

[lucas_irineu]

Very. Must suck maining a guy whose CPUs fight like that.

But hey, look at the bright side, he isn't ZSS. Those CPUs love to suicide for no friggin reason.

 

[Zigsta]

also zig, id love to play during summer. ive only ever played one bowser and it was KingKong at apex.........and i had no clue how to treat that mu as pika lol.

KK's legit--that's a great way to start!

I haven't played many Pikachus since I switched over to Bowser a few months ago, but K Prime and I are gonna get some games in this weekend.

 

[~Radiance~]

good luck! primes really good. and yeah pika v bowser, im assumin we just suppossed to camp jolts, but v kk it didnt work lol, my pool at apex was alot of me having no clue how to play my mu's, but i won my harder mus that i DID know so i was happy about that lol. Where in norcal will u b living?

also, im using wifi atm as i have no good players here, im still learning it but if ud like we cld wifi sometime maybay??? :O

 

[Bomber7]

also, im using wifi atm as i have no good players here

good luck. online is not much better.

 

[hurricanehans]

good luck. online is not much better.

So true.
Since i'm relatively new to brawl, i'm lacking wifi friends which means the only human competition available is in the "play with anyone" section. I could probably beat 90% of the people there with their own character that i've never played before. Not trying to brag my "uber skilz" but **** are they horribad.

Also, is posting friend codes against the rules in this section? If so, would someone kindly point me in the right direction?

 

[SuSa]

All is Brawl --> Chatrooms --> Match Rooms/Ladder

Enjoy playing against wifi players. WiFi is actually an amazing chance to get better and improve on your ability to read opponent players and practice certain techniques.

I started off as a WiFi Player for a loooooooooooonnnnnng time...

:leek:

 

[TheReflexWonder]

It's not against the rules, but you're not really going to get any response from it here.

I think this is what you're looking for--

http://www.smashboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=182

That being said, if you're looking for online play, you're really better off checking out AllisBrawl. It has a much larger following there.

EDIT: SuSa has the right idea.

 

[T-block]

Yeah, WiFi has its place - some of today's best players started off online. As long as you use it to improve the right things, and don't rely on lag to win, you can definitely improve from it.

You're allowed to post friend codes here, but I'll warn you now that most people who visit this board don't play online. You'll probably have better luck in the Brawl Online section, or on AiB.

EDIT: or I can get ninja'd be Reflex being ninja's by SuSa

if you would like to ever play u can find me here alot -> http://xat.com/HighVoltageClan

thats the pika xat, im there alot since im usually working on updating pika guides and such, but feel free to come here and find me if ud like to play

Prime's legit for sure. We haven't played any Bowser-Pikachu matches yet, so I'm really looking forward to it, especially since some of the Pikas on the boards think it's a 70-30 MU, which is COMPLETELY ridiculous. A lot of people just assume if they have a projectile, it's an automatic 70-30, haha.

T-Jolt's annoying for Bowser to deal with, for sure; but it's relatively easy to powershield. If Pika spams it too much, it gives Bowser an easy way to get in and get a grab off. That said, Pikachu has CG Bowser around 0-70, I think. But then Pikachu has trouble killing Bowser, and Bowser's gonna be lasting for a while longer.

I'll be living in Redwood City this summer. I'll either be working at DreamWorks Animation or Pixar.

I'm just THAT good.

PS:
Ally was huge on WiFi....if he's not the prime example of a great player who played a looooot of WiFi... then I must be going crazy.

[Ingoro]

After this weekend of offline hot Pt action, squirtle ****** the dutch community, I decided to drop my high tier character, Let pokemon trainer & zelda rest for a while for online play and spend all my time on wi-fi to pick up a decent Diddy kong to broaden my bad match-ups.

For my paintings, I like anything better that's on my website
Although, I haven't drawn in like months and I'm sorta missing it i will get back to it once I finish my internship in january.

[~Radiance~]

yeah zigsta the mu is 60-40 imo. i cldnt camp bowser when i played kk, but i was gettng impatient lol. upb oos was a ***** to deal with and teh CG goes to about 80 plus regrab, but only fthrow, u can up b out of a dthrow cg, i think u can footstool it too. but yeah, killing can be hard, specialy since we have to use the jolt since ur tilt beat out our ground approach, gettin under bowser is the only option i usually take.

as for summer, ill find u and will play lol

 

[T-block]

I cannot powershield T-jolt worth ****. Seriously, I have to just jump over them or I take like 80% in T-jolt spam.

PT/Diddy is a hot combination <3

 

[lucas_irineu]

Ingoro, thats some cool art.

Zigsta, Pixel/Dreamworks? Thats pretty sweet. What kindo of job will you get there?

I draw quite a lot, and upload some of my stuff here.



By the way, guys, in your opinions, which is the worst MU for PT?

 

[@TKbreezy]

MK

GaW

A super spammy Toon link

 

[Bomber7]

A super spammy Toon link

That would be me

 

[T-block]

Hell no

Marth/MK/Snake in that order imo

 

[@TKbreezy]

I don't have a problem with snakes

marth is def one of them tho...**** marth

 

[Bomber7]

I don't have a problem with snakes

marth is def one of them tho...**** marth

The only Marth I have ever had problems with was Lee Martin's but hey, look at the massive skill difference.

Other than that the Marth players in Louisiana that are considered ok-good (for our standards lol) I've never had a problem with. Even if I lose, it's always by a close margin. I managed to space marths pretty well with Squirtle and Ivy. Watergun spams all day and razorleaf+followups all day. Can't say the same for Zard. Avoid MU as much as possible.

Seems like I'm the only PT who really has mentioned he has no problem with Marths

 

[@TKbreezy]

I love Char vs Marth...its the fact that squirtle gets ****** ovver thats messes me up becuase squirtle is clearly my best

 

[~Radiance~]

hm. yeah i noticed that the MU thread isnt very complete lol, i was tryna look at MU's and didnt find anything cept an ancient thread. No surprise here that Marth is bad, he ***** pika just as hard LOL.

i was wondering tho, if i cld get some input, how do you play the olimar/zss/pikachu mu? i mean, i know pika, hes my main lol, but AS PT i dont really know the best way to go about it. i know what pika has on PT, but what can pt do v pika?

also im more concerned about oli mu rather than pika since i only fight my pikas on the ec, fight more olis here lol, plus the oli mu is terribad for pika, but idk about for pt.

 

[T-block]

My Ivysaur and Charizard have a horrendous time with Pikachu... I find I can never catch him, but as I said, I'm also terrible at powershielding t-jolts, so that might have something to do with it.

Squirtle just tosses Olimar around like it's nothing. It's pretty fun actually.

Yeah the matchup thread is...a work in progress... I will kickstart it as soon as I get done with this wave of midterms.

i know im really new but i helped with alot of threads in the pika boards, including creating the character specific stage discussion thread, so if theres any way i can help let me know. ill put my 2 cents on mu's, just cant gurantee i know pt well enough to offer anything TOO insightful lol.

thanks for advice v olimar btw. as for his camping, how do u approach that? if found that squirtle, like u said, is the easiest to combo with, but as for approaching, how do u do it?

 

[SuSa]

Snake in that order imo

Least you know what you're talking about.

Snake vs PT is so close to being a freebie for Snake...

:leek:

 

[Bomber7]

My squirlte eats Marths for breakfast.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

Marth, then Meta Knight, then Falco.

 

[Ingoro]

Haha, squirtle vs marth is hell, I've fought ranked marth players here with squirtle ( Mr.r, RoNic) and they just outspace you, outrange you and you'll get a grabreleasse buffered tipper Fsmash which kills you at 60%. So that match-up is actually kinda bad since you lose your massive powerhouse. The worst match-up is GaW though, fight a skilled ranked one and you're toast. Snake is do-able as in squirtle can get even with him, Ivysaur can do some gimmicky **** on him ( bullet seed coz he's heavy, razor leaf on him while he's holding a nade will result in it exploding) and charizard has several options to work around snake if he manages to get close.

 

[Zigsta]

Bomber, you don't have Marths where you live. You don't count.

And GW is an EASY MU for PT, unless he decides to plank you all day.

 

[@TKbreezy]

^inform me how..

 

[T-block]

Mmm...what's giving you trouble in the GW matchup?

 

[Zigsta]

^inform me how..

GW has limited ways of approaching and is in general a predictable character. If he planks you, though, there's only 1 frame of vulnerability you can take advantage of. If GW decides to play THAT gay, he can easily make your Pokemon fatigued.

If you think of GW as a circle, I find it really helps to properly plan out your own attacks.

 

[Bomber7]

Bomber, you don't have Marths where you live. You don't count.

I'm talking from past experience. And for the record, I have NO ONE where I live.

 

[The Nameless Wanderer]

Most of PT's hard MUS involves some stupid grab antics lol.

 

[Steeler]

without LGL, meta knight by far

with LGL, probably meta knight
