WTFtl;dr
basically I say that because you seem to need to get more of the basics down, forget arthurs stupid training process of overanalyzing everything, it works for him for some dumb reason, but it shouldn't work for anyone else.
Basically you just need to get better at the general game, something you'll notice I'm pretty good at, just game sense and playing safe when you need to, execution if you're watching videos you basically know what you need to do/can do, but whats important is you don't get set on that cause every match is different, right? So get used to reacting and the combo's will come later, and the reason I suggest other chars is not to have said you've done it, but because literally it takes the focus off "what do ice climbers do" and it becomes "what is he doing"
any character can wavedash back grab, but is it the right idea? Well, that comes from experience and general practice.
Make Paul play a couple matches and put serious pressure on you the whole time, he's good at it, and you'll see what I mean, you will really need to stretch to rely on his weaknesses not yours.
edit: as a ganon player, trust me, those lazers literally mean theres almost nothing I can do unless he messes up.
Ah, you're still a youngin'
I asked cause once school starts I'll probably actually be able to smash semi-often
So how's it going to work? Are people coming to Calgary for smash?sad news
shiro cannot change the date of the melee tournament for the ABD3 tourney T.T
brawl is actualyy one of the main event games in edmonton they even have an extra pot bonus too and its on saturday so ya if your a brawl player and considering going go for it .So what's the plan then? Should we crazy hype our own August 11th tourney, and get Edmonton and Saskatchewan coming out, or should we find a way to travel up to Edmonton on Friday and stay for the weekend?
BTW ppl were loving Brawl on Saturday Hansel. I don't see why everyone can't just play both games. Heck, Arthur even found a main. A very spammy pillaring main.
Hmmm Some input from a player that doesn't play melee at all!
Honestly, I can't tell any difference between your tech skill (Clarke) and like... Brads. And then theirs people like Arthur and Paul with crazy tech skill.
Like everyone in Melee has better tech skill than me, as long as you guys can L-Cancel and ****.
However when watching/playing Brad what I do notice is he KNOWS when to approach, and WHEN to use his moves. While you KNOW HOW to use your moves, and use them well, you don't know WHEN to use the moves that will help your game play.
ie; I can do decently well against some melee players by just spacing fair/bair on Jigglypuff, because I have an idea of what to do, and avoid your moves by spacing. Players like Brad would just punish me because I only use 2 moves ( Except those 2 moves don't have much punishment haha)
I don't even know what I'm saying anymore...
tldr; focus more on what YOU should do. Than what your character can do.
Can I go in and actually hit him and win the trade without him hitting me.
vs
I NEED TO GRAB HIM SO I CAN WOBBLE. x 5000 > players avoid grab.
^ bro, you don't even come to calgary smashfests
See, Arthur, the thing is, there is a difference, and what you said isn't "wrong" just I think he should focus on it from a different light. Thats all, like I said, you focus on techy stuff, I just want him to fight them.Silly Brad!
=V WHAAAT? NO WAY!execution is not as simple as it is with ganon, i literally have more options.
Thats because I have no tech skill lolHonestly, I can't tell any difference between your tech skill (Clarke) and like... Brads. And then theirs people like Arthur and Paul with crazy tech skill.

Ain't nothin' wrong with Brawl, it's just a party game.BTW ppl were loving Brawl on Saturday Hansel. I don't see why everyone can't just play both games. Heck, Arthur even found a main. A very spammy pillaring main.
Yeah, get on that, would love to see it.And LOL I've been wanting to get into melee for a while. Just need a damn controller.
Spoken like a true man covered in kfc grease.because im sooo lazy all the time
Try using Ustream, it's not a very popular streaming tool but it works really well with Dazzle and FME. I would know, I use that same type of setup all the time for my streams and I get 0 lag, with a semi-good computer.Aites so from now on we will be streaming all our events. The video channel can be found here: http://www.twitch.tv/calgarysmash
Videos are recorded after stream ends so you can watch them. I'll export videos to youtube as well.
And Brad, I tried with Google, but their software was still primitive for this type of streaming. For recording I used Dazzle and FME. It works well enough that we get a decent stream and quality.
Ben, since Shiro can't move the tournament, are we going to have one on the 11th?
Is Saskatchewan confirmed to come?
And if there's any hardware issues I could use my laptop as well
Clarke said he talked to them or something, I dunno.
Arthur, we still have a room booked for the 11th. Stop assuming that magically Saskatchewan is in the loop though. TALK TO SASKATCHEWAN AND ****ING CONFIRM THEM URSELF BRO!!!
Paul, are you goin up still? I'm a little tempted tocome up forwin brawl
Actually, no one knows the ics matchup, you just need more games with people. And I don't understand what you're trying to say, but im pretty sure the others are just telling you that you need to get the general basics down still.long post
Ah, cool, I figured as much, not to mention the cross-streaming lag would be rediculousAnd Brad, I tried with Google, but their software was still primitive for this type of streaming. For recording I used Dazzle and FME. It works well enough that we get a decent stream and quality.

I support this post, Ben telling people to do their own ****

This and thenhow many ****ing times do i have to say it. they are not confirmed but he said PROBABLY posted this multiple times and answered questions in person.
wow, arthur do you have me on ignore or something? cant see my posts?
This.Clarke said he talked to them or something, I dunno.
You can't go, Brawl in Alberta Beatdown 3 is scheduled on the 11th as well.
^the point I was making to Clarke, you need to improve, I've said NOTHING about IC's, I've just said you need to get better without IC's cause they're dragging you down.I actually don't know the IC's matchup, I just know the Clarke matchup lol
Nooooo if Saskatchewan comes then what do we doya ben im still going , just looking for someone to house us is all
