I wanna try everything to see what works/what doesnt vs characters of all speeds and sizes. How else will I ever know unless you want me to sit down and theorycraft instead?
I'm embarrassing her....I'm giving her a bad name. This is so cringe. Of course I had the tools to win there but it wasn't a play-to-win environment. There wasn't a line behind us where winner stays on. We were just playing the game on LITERALLY DAY 1 and trying to find as much **** as we can with our limited time on the game, not to mention TRYING TO HAVE FUN
Like I said earlier, I'm doing Dins Fire off stage because it's a new addition to her moveset and I want to mess around with it as much as possible. This is a change I've wanted for so long and now it's here, so I tried it in every instance I could. And yes, that includes against a fast character like Pikachu. I lose my stock? Oh no, its the end of the world! I lost a timed match with items while stuck to a pro controller! -_- If I'm picking poor options and you know the flowchart to destroy ESAM's Pikachu for instance, please enlighten me(as well as money match ESAM when the game drops so I can see first hand!).
I actually can't believe that if some of you guys were to get LIMITED time at a setup, you'd camp and carefully pick options, and take the fun out of it instead of trying out new things with a game that just got unveiled a few hours ago. Relax brah.
He's coming off as rude? Bruh, all your posts have some rude arrogance to them as if you know everything about this game and have years of success with this character to back up the talk.
....But you were quick to judge. You assumed I'm playing to win with all my heart when I'm just ****ing around with my friends, but you're treating it like serious business.
But alright. On your money match challenge, why not in Brawl? Why not in Smash Wii U? You're challenging a well known top player, whose well known for being a top player for Brawl and Smash 4, and doesn't even exist in Melee. Or, we can play a game that'll have a fresh start in Ultimate so it can be fair! Also why 3 months? You seem to know everything thats right/wrong about this games options right now, as well the options I choose. Why not day 1 or week 1? 90 days is kind of excessive.
In closing, everyone who knows me knows I'm a chill guy. I've put up a bunch of Zelda matches on my channel this week for the community, because I've seen how excited the Zelda community was on Twitter and my stream. But to come here to a site I haven't used in so long and see how know-it-all some of you might be(I know its not all of you)over some quick demo footage, its a little disappointing and very telling for how I'll treat this place once the game actually drops later this year. It's embarrassing and some of you need to get a grip!
Let me start off with an apology, on behalf of the boards.
If anything, my simple minded phrasing is what landed you here. I shouldn’t have even joked. Because if it could possibly hurt someone’s feelings, I’m no better than the bullies that used to shove me in a locker, and back against the walls during passing period because they could “catch it” from me if they’re too close.
I’d like to open by saying when I tweeted you my phantom bturn jargon,
I had no idea someone tweeted you about us.
Alright, I deserved that. I money matched you because I wanted your attention. I was pissed at myself that people and you especially were getting the wrong impression of me. This is not how I wanted to start my Smash 5 career.
This whole thing completely went out of hand. I definitely overstepped. I have anger issues obviously but that doesn’t excuse it. I’d just like for you to have some context. I felt all my years as a Melee player were challenged, like they blew up in smoke, like nothing mattered anymore. I had dreams of maybe commentating, providing art for booths, and maybe play with some of the greats. You know you’re in that mix.
Back in Smash 4 I felt hurt when you played Zero Suit a lot more than Zelda, and that’s my problem right there.
You’re a person, who walks this earth, and that alone means you deserve my respect.
I am alone in this state, and I can’t flourish in Melee because as great I am with her, I have no one to lab with. I have Cosmo videos from yesteryear as my friend. No one is activ on the Melee Zelda boards. I’d say I’m the best in Indiana with Zelda, but that’s because the tumbleweed that held the record before me blew away...so that’s not saying anything. I guess I need an identity because I feel so alone in this. So I like to think I’m the best here. You get to be Nario with your wins, and I get to be the guy who thinks he’s something more than maybes he’s not.
So with her new reveal, I think we’re all excited. I really got greedy with what I had envisioned seeing.
You are literally the best footage we have, and we’re just excited to see our ideas implemented. We just want her to succeed. Hell, despite what you may think we want you to love her again, too. Up until literally today, I’ve been silent on how badly I feel I can contribute to her meta in Ultimate. And yet, I’m doing the exact opposite. To where I feel it’d be best to just stay in my room in Indiana, and just leave everyone alone. Sometimes we feel, I feel. That I’ve gone past a point of no return, and if only I could better control my emotions so I wouldn’t make stupid, defensive comments.
We all love this game. That’s why we’re here, that’s what matters.
Doesn’t matter if I’m the “best” Zelda in Indiana or not. We know Melee isn’t a game that plays to her strengths. I can beat all the foxes I want in simple weekly and monthly’s, but I’ll never improve when I’m the in only person trying to develop the character. I’ll probably never take a National. She’s developed as far as she’ll go in a 17 year old game.
When you’re heavily invested in what you’re watching, with friends, you comment on it. I made jokes, that with the way I played them out, the lack of a signal that I was truly intending to be funny shows I’m not the best communicator. These jokes were phrased as such that your eyes were never ever meant to see, so upsetting you/hurting your feelings wasn’t a factor in my decision making process. It’s kind of like posting on your life journal and you think your man won’t see it but he does. We already know the implications of playing on a demo. As a Zelda, I have satire in my blood. I don’t think anyone actually believes you’re embarrassing her when we all know the implications, but when someone shares it to you in such a manner, and you’ve got a thousand eyes on you, I get the pressure to call us “trash”. Calling me Trash.
Finally, I don’t play Smash 4 and you don’t play Melee. So yeah, let’s start fresh with Ultimate. I suggested 3 months because of the Zero money match situation with Sonic Fox. I don’t know everything about Smash 5 Zelda. But I’m doing what I can. So I’m down for day one mm. But I sense you were just making a valid point.
However I know I sense hostility from you, which I helped cause. But if it’s any consolation, finding out I’m publicly blasted for something I never ever imagined would end up on Twitter...I felt hostile. So I mm’d you thinking, Well he’s got the wrong impression of me, oh well. Might as well own it. So I’ll have to live with that.
I’m sorry this was all over the board, my thoughts are all over the place. I don’t know how to make it up to you or everyone. I’d offer to draw you something smash related.
So I know you aren’t gonna match match me now, because who’d want to be around the guy that blasted Nario, right?
All my love, Phantom Slash (Justin)
