You know you're horrible at Brawl when...

[Firus]

Basically, post things you can thing of that would prove that you're bad at Brawl. Not necessarily that, if you do it, you're bad, but that if you do it frequently, you probably are. I'll start it off.

-You die before you get to use your Pity Final Smash.
-You die during/right after your Final Smash.
-You glide off-screen.

 

[Atmapalazzo]

Most important one!

-You listen to Atmapalazzo when asking for character advice (silly Atma, asking for character advice is for .... crap, ran out of wit.

Seriously though:

-You attempt to win sudden death with Aether

 

[The Executive]

-You play as Pit against Bowser on FD and get three-stocked (I loves me some Bowser~)

Haha, yeah, that wouldn't be very smart. It wasn't very smart when someone tried to do that against me a couple of hours ago, either. Used my dair and they died.

 

[MarthTrinity]

-You die before you get to use your Pity Final Smash.

Way you know you suck at Brawl? When you GET a pity final smash.

 

[Repulse X]

You lose more 1v1s than you win

 

[Drazon]

-Taunting is your only weakness.

 

[NoVaLombardia]

-When your gunrack has a gunrack on it!

 

[Atmapalazzo]

-You play as Pit against Bowser on FD and get three-stocked (I loves me some Bowser~)

Nice, a new one just got brought to my attention

-You sit there in awe while your opponent goon farms with D3. though that is a lesser offense.

 

[rove]

-You spam arrows (pit users..) and when the other player finds their way around it you get punished..

 

[Oi Kyon]

-You die during/right after your Final Smash.

[StealthFighterX]

When you kill yourself off FD or anywhere really with Fox, Falco, and Wolf's Side-B constantly.

Epic Failure for Wolf

Yes, his failure was so great that it became purple.

 

[Firus]

I've seen that Wolf/Fox video before, that's hilarious.

Although sad, because I did the same thing in an online match once...dang Ike did Eruption on one block and I didn't notice and...yeah, death for me. Worst part of it is, I thought of that right before I did it. Isn't that sad?

 

[Drazon]

I always get a laugh out at the epic loss.

 

[Firus]

Way you know you suck at Brawl? When you GET a pity final smash.

Yeah, but you really suck if you die before you use it.

Either one works though.

 

[Xxll_The Boss_llxX]

Dying while edge-hogging >.>

 

[MarthTrinity]

Yeah, but you really suck if you die before you use it.

You suck even MORE if you're killed by your OWN pity final smash.

Spoiler

Is it even possible to knock a pity final smash out of someone? XD

 

[The Executive]

You suck if you play with Pity Final Smashes. You'll know if you're playing with them when someone inevitably gets one. Shame him, then run. Run to the hills. (not over them, as that results in death)

 

[Drazon]

Dying when going for a meteor.

 

[EternalCrusade]

You know you're horrible at Brawl when...

-all you do is spam
-all you do is camp

 

[Uncle Fitzy]

Way you know you suck at Brawl? When you GET a pity final smash.

Quoted for truth.

 

[The Executive]

You know you're horrible at designing games when...

-the tactics designed to become dominant are....camping and spamming!

Or, to use both at the same time, SPAMPING!!!

QFT, so its a good thing Brawl didnt end up this way.

Seriously, spamming and camping are just about the WORST strategies for brawl. I can understand where you're coming from though; its difficult to see why spamming and camping are not good strategies until you get good at the game.

1) They're repetitive
2) They demonstrate a lack of confidence in your own ability
3) They're just plain cheap

 

[zaf]

-you use jigglypuff haha.

 

[EternalCrusade]

1) They're repetitive

Now Im just plain confused as to what kind of smash player you are...do you think spamming and camping are good strategies or not? (perhaps its the fact that its 2:30 in the morning that is affecting my judgement)

 

[Infamous Chimera]

You know you're horrible at Brawl when...

- You call anything "cheap".
- You complain about getting owned by projectiles.
- You get a pity final smash.
- You smuggle items into a wi-fi friend match after being told/yelled not to.
- You think final smashes are perfectly balanced.
- You complain about having a no items match.
- You complain about fair/balanced tournament rules.

The sad thing about what I just said is that my friends did most and/or all of the things I listed.

 

[Ch0zen0ne]

You think M2K is good.

 

[The Executive]

I believe it's listed in them fancy books under 'homo sapien'.

...do you think spamming and camping are good strategies or not? (perhaps its the fact that its 2:30 in the morning that is affecting my judgement)

Define 'good'.

Are they useful? Yes.

Are they impenetrable? Not really.

Do they demonstrate any evidence of skill on your part? No.

Are they necessary? At this point in the metagame, they are for some characters. But then you have to define how many repeated uses of a move would constitute 'spamming', and what limits apply to what moves, and that's just another quagmire I'd rather not get into.
Do I use them? I try really hard not to.

There's always that one guy spectating who sees an Angel Ring applied once for the minimum length of time to block a bomb that was certain to KO if it hit and cries 'OMFG U SPAM!!!!11111', so I have to be a bit leery and adjust playstyle according to who I'm playing. I'll juggle with Din's Fire, but only to force a vert kill at 100% or higher and never more than 3 times in succession.

Camping on the whole I think is just a cheap way to play.

And, yes, 2:30 A.M. posting will mess with your brain.

OK then, this is just about EXACTLY how I feel on the situation, strange I was arguing with you before >_>

I wouldnt say its cheap because it ISNT impenetrable (and be careful of elitist jerks, sorry if I came off as one earlier, but there are some people who will make fun of you for just saying 'cheap', I have no problem with the word but most people say 'broken')

And, yes, 2:30 A.M. posting will mess with your brain.

And this is why Im going to bed now =_=

 

[Freezrbrn]

You always get stuck under the stages with your last jump

NOTE: I have only done 2 of these.
