Have you ever felt that your game play was... lacking something important? Do others ridicule you for approaching or playing with honor? Would you like to know how you can improve by taking small, daily steps towards a better future in Brawl?
Hi, my name is DMG. I am a professional camper. I am considered by many as, and I quote, "One of the Gayest, Campiest, most Boring players to ever watch in Brawl" and I'm proud of it. I am currently the only man known in the universe to have Money Matched Jesus and won (Obviously I timed him out).
Some say I have an addiction to playing gay. My response, to those who suggest that, is "It's not an addiction if it's something you really love." Indeed, I love to play gay. It's a part of who I am as a person. Forever will my passion to play gay fervently burn in my soul, and over time instead of fighting my urges/desires, I have come to peacefully accept this as an gift, not a curse.
Ladies and Gentlemen, what I would like to do in this thread is offer daily advice on... YOU GUESSED IT! HOW TO PLAY GAY!!! There is one personal rule however:
1. Never question my tips. They always work, if they don't it means you need to play gayer.

DMG's Current "Gay" Tip Of The Day: If you lose, start playing "gayer"
There is no reason... EVER... for you to lose. If you lose, it means that either:
1. You didn't play "gay" enough, or
2. The other guy played "gayer" than you.
You can apply this sound logic to any stage and it would be correct. Now, once you realize this, you should learn how to play "gayer". Luckily, I'll tell you some stuff on how to do it better.
First off, you want to pick a character that's actually GOOD at playing "gay". Characters like Lucario, TL, ZSS, Peach, etc. They might not make the "gayness" cut (and yes FYI Marth makes the cut, so don't ask). While you are doing this, make sure you're not walking into a trap set by the opponent ("I think he's gonna try to play "gay" with Dedede, I'm gonna go IC's/Olimar/someone who can play "gay". Dang I was right, read him like a book lol why he so predictable he gon get *****!")
Now when it comes to playing gay, here are some things to think about:
1. Where is your opponent currently at? - Don't focus so much on where you are located, focus more on where your opponent is.
2. Where does my opponent probably WANT to go? - This is a very important part of camping well/playing "gay". If you understand where your opponent wants to go, you can plan ahead and either move away from where he wants to go, or you can try to prevent him from getting there first. Let's take Brinstar and Wario vs Snake for example. Snake doesn't have many places he can safely be, nor places where he can reliably hit Wario. If you know where he is going to go with his already limited options, you start amassing quite a strong lead that can be near unstoppable if you play your cards right.
3. How precise is my character with his/her movements? - It's not THAT important to understand where you are at any given time, but it IS important to understand how well your character can move when the time comes for them to move from their spot. If you don't understand fairly precisely how well your character can move, mobility and speed wise, then it's pointless trying to run away from a good opponent for a longer period of time since you will more likely than not mis space or mis time something and get punished bad for it. It's also nice to understand the correlation your movement has with the opponent's attacks (If you are moving away/closer, how far the opponent would have to keep moving to hit you).
4. How can I take advantage, if possible, of my opponent's potential adverse reactions when put under this kind of stress? (Timer running out, his opponent running away the entire match, getting heavily damaged and then his opponent runs, etc) - Let's face it: most of us at some point or another will experience a moment where you are completely fed up with your opponent and you start making mistakes that cost you later on in the game. It's understandable to react that way under the circumstances, however if you are putting that kind of pressure on him you might as well punish his mistakes. This means that when you see the Snake player jumping into the air trying to hit you with an aerial, or when you see that character start approaching really aggressive or trying risky things, that you punish them for doing it and then you go back into playing "gay" mode. Punishing them for their original mistakes will usually anger/frustrate them further, and open the door for more/bigger mistakes to follow.
When you play "gay", it boils down to how well you understand both characters, how well you can read the opponent, and the stage. Once you get these things down... well GL to your opponent as he might need it.
And there you have it Folks. That is my Daily Tip On How To Play "Gay".
