Welcome to Gaia! ::

Glorious wins, devastating losses. Everybody has them. In this thread we open our eyes and ears for each other so that we may share our wisdom.

Tell us your story.

Two weeks ago I went to a tourney in chicago. Surprisingly enough, I got pretty far (double elimination. Lost second round, went another 4 rounds further in the losers bracket). I did several friendlies with some of the local pros, and did rather well. I think playing these other players forced my fingers to move at a faster rate, and got more of the advanced techniques to work (i.e. more consistent with L-canceling, wavelanding, etc.)

Good matches, beat some of the pros, and can't wait for my next tourney this coming sunday.

There haven't been any tournaments recently, but about 7 weeks ago I competed in a high school tournament. It was actually pretty big, over 100 people competed (maybe 20 of them were actually good). I got lucky and was matched up against a lot of noobies at first, so I breezed my way through for a little while. I ended up taking 6th, mainly because I was stupid enough to use Ice Climbers against a Peach player. Curse single elimination tournaments evil

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. There wasn't much time for friendlies, though, too many people were competing.

then try to start a smash scene xd

heh, i say it like its easy, but its a lot of work... probably too much for most people.

I was in a tournament once, well actually twice
but it was only at my schools Wake a Thon....
and our school is small so ... small tournament...

anyway, we all had to team up with a partner (wich we didnt get to pick) and then your alone for the 4 finalists..

anyway, the guy i was with was good, but not good at being in teams
so we lost.....

if i was with my brother we would have done so good!!
he is the only one im good with in teams
then we had a free for all and my brother (donkey kong) me (pikachu)
battled againts the winners..
and guess who one...
we were a good team
then people tried to beat us, but they couldnt
now of my causins were there different storie...
anyway im gonna stop babbling now....

That tourney on that sunday I was talking about... didn't go (my car has a hole in the exhaust, so I called "car johns").

Johns = Excuses

Anyway, I went to a smashfest last week. Played against Eddie (one of the top Ganondorf's in the country). I had some close matches, and a lot more 4 stocks (He four stocked me). He's damn good.


Played against another Samus player there too. Oddly enough, I beat his Samus, but lost to his IC's and Marth. The funny thing, is that when I played him at the last tourney I went to, he mopped the floor with me with his Samus. I got the match were I beat him on tape, so expect some matches soon (gotta wait for my buddy to upload them).

I also got some Warlock Punches off on people too (or spooked them enough to where they wouldn't go for the ledge). ^ ^ Also on tape.

SBT: so, you beat his samus, then he beat you with IC, then Marth? It was double elimination I assume? Isn't there a rule where the winner can't change their character? meaning, he had to pick IC again in the third round?



Wow, someone who mains ness besides me! I want to play you! gonk
