Krystedez
Q. How did it feel to get DQ'd by Sky?:
A. Felt good bro. /sarcasm
No, I'm sorry, I was just joking around. You want my serious answers, here.
Q. Why wario?:
A. Wario's attack style is very crazy and disjointed. I love his aerial prowess and ability to move throughout the air freely without issue. He just feels right for me. Plus I picked him up as soon as I started feeling like his movement was in tune with my own. He didn't have that big of a learning curve as people think now, either, but it did take a while for me to actually get good with him.
Q. What's your favorite match up?:
A. I love facing Warios with other characters, because I can use the bike against them (Pit and Sonic come to mind, my two seconds). I also like Wario dittos, and Wario vs Falco/Luigi/Metaknight/Marth/Donkey Kong/Peach/Diddy Kong/Snake Those are my favorites in order from best to least. The rest I'm pretty neutral on somewhat.
Q. What's your least favorite match up?:
A. I can not stand facing Dedede at times, but I've learned to approach him better now so it's not that big of a deal. Olimar is a bit a weird matchup too and I don't like having to avoid a bunch of little creatures being thrown at me all day and him running away. My least least favorite matchup is actually Fox, I don't like having to chase him around all day because he runs better than me, and can spam lasers, and doesn't afraid of my floaty defenses and bike. I'm more afraid of his upsmash than he is afraid of anything I have sometimes. I know Wario is better in the MU, I just don't like facing him. It's boring.
Q. A lot of people say that your style of wario is unorthodox how does that make you feel?:
A. Feels gewd man. Nah kidding, but I don't really care. If you really have a problem with my style, take it up with the results I been getting. Hell Ally even got the right idea. If he totally mained him (him being bike!), I think Ally wouldn't need Snake. I think that Wario's bike is an awesome addition to his moveset and needs no further explanation than already given. It's too good, and doesn't have a lot of counters if you know how to use it and when to use it.
Q. You used to play wifi a lot what do you think of the whole wifi vs offline stuff?
A. Wifi is fun for matchup experience. Don't take it too seriously. I did, and I wasted a whole summer and made myself angry almost every day. Since I been going to tourneys and stuff I feel like I've had a lot of better experience and fun. Wifi was my training grounds. Tourneys are my proving grounds.
Q. Would you ever go to another MLG event?:
A. To be honest, I would, if I had the money and time. Raleigh is right around the corner, but I'll be in college then and I really need to focus on my studies. However, it IS the first or second week of classes; if I somehow were able to get material for those days and come back alright, I would definitely go... But it'd be plane ride probably....
It would be better if I had someone to go with.
Q. What advice would you have for a new Wario player?:
A. Please please please learn wario the right away. By that I mean, learn how to use HIM first, then learn his tricks, including the bike. So many people try to just pick up wario and learn him because of the bike tricks and stuff. You have to learn to crawl before you walk. In this case, they're trying to go from crawling to running!
For wario, the best thing you can do is just practice a lot of his aerials and combat in the air. Try to learn how he moves, how you use him depends on how he feels in your hands (no homo). Just do your best to learn specific matchups later and then eventually the bike. You DONT HAVE TO LEARN THE BIKE to be good with wario. But it **** well helps.
Q. you have any Wario mains that you looked up to?:
A. To be honest, wifi really kinda sheltered me from too many good warios that I could personally play. As far as actual idols in the world of smash, I guess my big ones are definitely TheRealBobMan online, since we never played, but I was exposed to how good the bike was with his guides.
And then when I started getting tourney experience I really enjoyed seeing Hunger place high in IL.. That sorta made me strive to keep going to tourneys, knowing wario has a lot on his side to help him place well. Bassem and Blast are some of my favorite Warios I played online.
If you asked me who I looked up to in general, I would say Ally, he really helped me get my mindset to keep getting better because of how much he kicked my *** online all the time! XD He introduced me to the real competitive and social community on AiB. He also Wario ditto'd me at one point too, I think he tried to steal my Wario champ title at Gamefaqs!
Q. How did you acquire the patience to play so much wifi?:
A. Patience? PATIENCE??? Hahah..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
No patience required, just a very high and intense endurance for pain and misery.
In all seriousness though, all you really need to do is figure out your best opponents for connection, and play them. In freeplay that may be the best idea. For ranked matches...just play and don't complain or you'll find yourself throwing your controller down in annoyance. Don't try to comfort other players, just say ggs, or dont say anything at all.
Q. Would you say that wifi helped get you to where you are today?:
A. Pretty much. If it wasn't for players like those at Gamefaqs that helped me, the championship character fights for who was best at the ditto and whatnot, along with players like Ally who drifted me over to AiB and the likes, I wouldn't be where I'm at. I'd be playing at the same level most others do who dont have friends to play all the time.
Q. Have you have you played Wario's Woods, or any of the Warioware inc games?:
A. Yes, Wario's Woods. Very cool game, loved playing it on animal crossing time to time. Warioware inc games are cool too but I don't really care too much for them as I do regular games.
;D
Kryz is the best! <3:
That's not a question! o_o... But thank you! :D
Q. Kryst: where did your name come from?
A. I was trying to make up a name that sounded celtic like, but I failed. Instead I came up with what you see now today. My friend from high school thought it was very original so I kept it. It's the name of my human avatar for my story I made up in my head. The other version of the avatar, Spectrum, whom I am mostly known by my friends from before I got into brawl and stuff, is the anthropomorphic or were fox avatar that I usually use for stuff, and is the reincarnation of Krystedez. There's a big story behind all that lol.
Q. Did you play any other games seriously before smash?:
A. Not really, I've played a little of all kinds of fighting games and stuff, nothing as competitively though.
Q. did u play melee?:
A. Yes, still do on occasion, not competitively though. I main Mewtwo, Mario, Fox, Young Link.
Q. whats you most fav retro game?
A. Gotta be between Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Rocket Knight Adventures. I also love Super Mario Bros 3 and. dot. dot. dot..no idea why I put and here.
Q. Fav music type? song/ artist/ genre?:
A. I love Techno, Epic, Rock, Oldies (50's, 60's...), Metal, and Orchestra. I also like other stuff, I just dont care for Rap or Country.
Q. Fav movie?
A. I have a soft spot for disney movies and cartoons. My favorite cartoon animated film is Brother Bear.
An old favorite I love is Secret of Nimh.
For other animated movies, I guess I really liked How to Train Your Dragon, Wall-E, Bolt, Up, and even Princess and the Frog.
Favorite one of the most recent actual real-action films, DISTRICT 9. Omg wow that was mind-blowing.
Q. Fav show? (not anime)
A. Um. I like Smallville and Supernatural, even tho I hardly watch TV now.
Q. Kryst how did you get so cute:
A. Cute? Really? Um... I guess giving myself the sense that I can reach a proper amount of ingenuity and still at the same time be modest as possible let's me be "cute"... also, trying to achieve impossible goals and being totally naive let's me be-
...what, why are you looking at me like that? I thought it was a serious question!
Q. Krystedez, when are you gonna come back to IL for a tourney!?:
A. Oh wow really this question again? No Im kidding, seriously though I dont know man. If another tourney is held in Chicago or somewhere closer to the border the maybe. Chicago was a heck of a drive and mentally draining. if you have any personal reccomendations for a tourney hit me up at my AIM or something @ Spectrum980.
Q. Does your dad still have that awesome mustache?:
A. Yeah he does, albeit it's a bit less bushy because he shaved it all off one day (WOW) and then grew it right back.
Q. How do you approach the Falco MU with your playstyle since he is so well adapted to stop a lot of bike tricks?:
A. Falco is hard to fight, not lying, but I love the MU like I love fighting MK, it's all a challenge and forces you to be careful/think harder. I think that for the most part baiting moves that are his best air approaches like bair and dair, allow you to punish easier, and making sure you don't get caught in his CG will help a lot in the long run. The more uncomfortable he gets with his supposedly safe moves, and if he can't grab you before 20-30 percent, the more impatient they get sometimes and try so hard to rack damage by jumping at you. With the bike, I've figured out you can only do one thing with it; mind game or set up a trap. You can't be too aggressive with the bike, it's near impossible against a smart reflector. Just be careful, and watch when he is going to use the reflector.
Q. Have you ever played Brawl minus? If so, what do you think?:
A. Hell yea, funner than hell, I love it. I think my favorite characters are Wolf (he's like a DBZ warrior!), Pit (the arrows!) and Toon Link (reminds me so much of Wind Waker!)
Q. Are you coming back to Ohio any time soon? I want to money match you.:
A. Showdown this weekend, thats it, far as I know. hope you're goin?
Q. Thoughts on the Marth MU?:
A. Too much overestimation on Marth's part from the general consensus. I think it's about 50-50, maybe better for wario's favor in certain cases. He may have range but we have a lot of options, and the bike is not to be forgotten here. Just dont get grabbed by his ***** *** grab.
Q. Thoughts on the Sheik MU now that you've played Judo?:
A. Harder than the marth matchup o.o I'd say Judo is a great player as well. It was so close I thought I was going to **** myself. Shiek has to be one of the hardest MU's I've played even on wifi.
Q. How do you feel about the Midwest as a region? (Midwest East, at least lolz):
A. I love MW. There are a lot of great and fun people here and awesome competition, some big names, and also we are the most underrated region in my opinion.
Q. Also do you have any secondaries? o_o:
A. Pit, Sonic, and most recently I been picking up Samus now. I know, right? o_o; I play with all kinds of characters, though, I can also play as Olimar and Wolf, and a little bit as Snake. I thnk my olimar is probably better than my Sonic and on down. I just don't like playing as him that much.
Q. What is your least favorite match up?:
A. Already been answered, albeit a bit too lengthy, I do not like playing Fox.
Q. What is your favorite pokemon?:
A. Mew. Next in line is Manectric. Gotta love electric types. Plus it's a doggy-like pokemon. XD
Q. How can mk beat Wario? :'(-:
A. Play super campy, don't approach, make wario approach, attempt to wall off all of Wario's aerials. walk away from Wario when he tries something funny, and be spot on with all your kill moves. Campy/Defensive MKs are the worst for Warios.
Q. kryz why the chocolate wario outfit? :o:
A. To be honest, I don't know lol. I just picked the color most neutral next to white, since at the time people chose white a lot. Now it's the opposite. When I change colors though it kinda distracts me, so I just tell people that, and they be quiet about it >_>;
Q. krys why are you so nice ? With all the sh*t you're getting from people for beating DEHF why not just tell them to eat a d*ck?:
A. Um... Not sure how to answer this question simply because of it being on a personal level. . . I just try to be nice to everyone. I might get upset at times, but it's not worth my salt (lol) to contribute any more negative emotion to the table then already there.
We can move on from the whole DEHF thing. If people really want to talk about it more that's fine, but count me out of it from here on out unless we're being reasonable about the match itself, not the win.
Q. Krys when are we going to team? I can give you TWO bikes ;D.:
A. oh **** oh dear. You know what I think two bikes would be awesome. If I don't get Count to team with me in the next event or something happens I think I might just do that!
Q. Krystedez who is your favorite Wario? (can't say yourself lol)
A. Mmm... so far, after playing in Showdown against a couple of our warios, and playing tons of others on wifi and some tourneys, I think right now I'm pretty astounded at Hunger's wario. his is the only one I've seen (besides Ally who just started randomly showing his skills off with him) that has developed his tire game to a near full extent.
I was pretty astounded that a lot of the moves and patterns I use were being used against me, some of them more fleshed out like the d-throw tire-glide-toss to fsmash and the the tire up in the air, d-throw, they get hit, fsmash/fart... He claps far more than I do, has impeccable timing and reading skills, and essentially is da bess. I love his wario. He is a very honorable player too, we both made it clear that Grab Releases are not an essential part of our games, so we just played without them. Much funner.
Yeah, right now, it's gotta be Hunger. Close behind is Blue Rogue. I like all my wario bros.
But, truthfully, Hunger doesn't have the bike prowess I do quite yet... He's just really ****ing good with Wario though. That's what's important, I'm just a lowly bike main XD
Q. What is your opinion of the Peach matchup at this point in time?:
A. Good. I like this matchup. It's very frustrating if you rush in blindly, but otherwise, it's quite a close match. I don't think it's peach's favor, I'm even close to saying 55-45 wario, simply because of bike shenanigans, but that's just me.
I need to play, like, THE best Peach players period. Beef, you were who I heard of first...Now who is better than you?! :D!!!
. lol
