lol first Saturday of the month of Jan isn't reserved so that would work out I guess

If that does happen

2nd- Ensley Tourney
16th- Vestavia Tourney
23rd-Mobile Tourney
30th- Auburn Tourney

omg that would be....jizztastic. I would have no way of attending all of them though xD I'm too poor.

That's the wrong mentality. What you should be thinking is, "I don't have any money now, so I'll bum some cash for the first tournament, win, let the winnings bankroll my entry for the next tournament, then keep on doing that until then end of the month when I have all the winnings."

In short, fix your attitude.

lul right

I have $50 right now

I'm going to use $15 for tournament one, try and get top 3 win and rack up some money from MMs
Tourney 2 same
Tourney 3 with the funds I may get from 1 and 2 I'll use on gas money and bum a ride from someone
Tourney 4 same

and in February I'm sure my Marth will be awesome (Actually I know he's going to be awesome) and I'll be getting top 2, but aiming for first all the way.

Challenging everyone in Reflex's group to a $5 mm

there's the mentality I should be having :D

 

[j00t]

Joot, I talked to Andy earlier (about other stuff) and he said no smash there today.

But tune in later this week when Chad and I move in as there will surely be some smash then.

Alright, thanks for the update.

I thought you were in it to make money, not lose it XD

 

[Saki-]

Lol I wont be losing

much ._.

But in all seriousness, theres NO way I'm going to be last or second to last this upcoming season. With the amount of work I've been putting into my Marth I'd be up for quiting if I still get ***** as hard as I did this season.

 

[-: Trey :-]

Weeeeeee

Just remembered I had this account lol

 

[eagletrent242]

Is there a thread for the Vestavia tourney on the 16th? I won't be able to make it but I'm curious to see who all is planning on going.

 

[shaSLAM]

just stop thinking about whether you are going to win or lose, kola.
it's about what actually goes on in the match.
if you HAVE to think about the outcome so much then i would suggest always thinking you are going to win then.

Sounds like a smashwarming party is in order!

Not yet, but Zero said he'd make on this weekend

The one on the 9th was an if
the one on the 30th was an if

Only the 16th and 23rd are confirmed

just stop thinking about whether you are going to win or lose, kola.

Yea maybe I should stop thinking "Oh no this person and his friends are coming I'm not going to place high" and get a better mentality.

 

[Will_]

Everybody gimme your PSN tags, I got a ps3 for christmas.

So... was that it, Will_? The ending for Darker than Black?

****ing terrible.

Yeah, it basically said "lol watch the inevitable 3rd season if you want any semblance of a satsifying ending".

 

[Saki-]

[j00t]

Yeah, it basically said "lol watch the inevitable 3rd season if you want any semblance of a satsifying ending".

I'll just consider that the real ending and I won't watch the third season. Problem solved

 

[shaSLAM]

guyz why dont we have commentating at tournies?
i want to commentate...

 

[DMG]

Cause if you don't get a pro to commentate, you'll get got.

You don't want to get got.

 

[mslano]

Don't have a set commentator, just have a microphone to pick up crowd noise/heckling. The best commentating comes from the peanut gallery.

 

[Saki-]

Well
killjoy time

Zero doesn't have wifi at his venue
I don't know of a person who has a streaming set here

I'm pretty sure theres not a person out there that would like to watch a tournament with 18 people max

;D but if we ever get a big tournament with wifi, that would be boss. And I'd be all for commentating

 

[shaSLAM]

wut?
you just record **** and commentate.
that **** isnt livestreamed ALL the time.
you just have comkmentating over the grand finals videos or something.

i agree with mslano though.

also.
yall think college football is hot?
pssssshhh
this is whats hot

Slam's right, this is not a good mentality.

Focus on getting better, NOT on placing better. Working on getting better is fun and stress-free and will naturally improve your placings. Working on placing better is stressful, confusing, frustrating, and is kind of inefficient.

 

[DMG]

Yeah. Focusing on placing better makes you place worse.

Look at me. I was ranked tied 2nd in Texas at one point. Now I'm not even on the list.

 

[mslano]

I loved the slo-mo replays in that video.

 

[Duchock]

The crowd is utterly ecstatic. And crowded.

Also, I personally think commentators are loud, annoying, and pointless. But that's their job description, so I guess I can't hate too much.

 

[shaSLAM]

yeah guyz, im pretty much always right.
you should probably be use to that by now though.

number 5 is my boi though forreal no lie i aint playin.
that dude mad fast and tough.
haha i wish they had names on the back of their jerseys.
im probably gonna fly to one of their games or something.
XD

 

[eagletrent242]

I can record videos well if you want me to bring my set up next tourney I can attend. I just have to go out and get Pinnacle Studio (been lazy) to edit and I don't have a good mic.

I am focusing on getting better, I just hoped that I'd place better too.
So far I've went from
Fair Fair Fsmash
To Fair walling
and now I'm realizing both are pretty bad so I'm shifting between aggro and defense depending on the character. I'm still having the worst time KOing because I DO NOT SMASH
I have no idea why but when I'm in that state of mind I just cannot throw a smash out there because I always get punished for it, and end up losing.

Bah frustration but I'm going to fix it by non stop Snake/Dedede/DK practice next month.

It is more than just following a pattern. If you do that then you become predictable.

There is one foolproof way to get really good at brawl.

...





play melee

 

[DMG]

There's a foolproof way at getting better at Melee.

.......................




Play Melee

 

[mslano]

Watching some more of the video, I think the slo-mo replays are so great because they're barely slower than the actual footage. Tiny kids are just not that fast, but they try hard and that's what counts.

Also, the point I was making to Kola was that going into a tournament believing that you'll lose is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don't think that you'll win, you won't.

Wouldn't that lead to me looking arrogant and cocky? I'm sure that would make me look as a bad person in the community D:

 

[j00t]

I don't like to play Melee

Well, I know now what your problem is.

 

[Pika_Cam]

Commentating makes watching it online more interesting in my opinion. I don't mean livestream, I mean just after the fact youtubing.

 

[Saki-]

well if we could find people that can set it up every tournament lets try for it
I have a pinnacle recorder that stopped working for no reason...anyone good with stuff like that wanna try and make it work?

 

[Will_]

Wouldn't that lead to me looking arrogant and cocky? I'm sure that would make me look as a bad person in the community D:

You don't have to project your thoughts all the time. Just keep the "I'm going to win" feeling to yourself.

 

[Pika_Cam]

Sounds like a plan kola.

 

[j00t]

Daaaaaamn lol

Not really. It's less about being confident that you WILL win and more about being confident that you CAN win.

Edit - Also, everyone loves playing melee. You just don't know it yet :O

 

[shaSLAM]

fixed.

 

[shaSLAM]

you shouldnt have a gameplan. gameplans are predictable, aforementioned.
you watch your opponent and try to punish.
always watch the opponent.
what i do soley depends on the opponent.
you are playing a match.
you treat it too much like it is a predetermined thing when the fact of the matter is that anything can happen. well... not anything... it is barwl.

the only reason that im hard on you on the forums kola, is that you remind me of myself when i started playing. id always bag on myself and got obbssesed over the PR and when i won i said it was a fluke everytime and i never really comprehended the advice people gave me on my state of mind.
pretty much anyone here on the AL boards can back me up on that too. im pretty sure i said the exact same thigns that you are right now at one point.

 

[Duchock]

When will_ you people stop with this bad joke.
