WELL I TRIED TO HELP D: Anywayys. Zozefup finally came to my house yesterday. I only won on average like 1 of every 6 matches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE8EoqrF1sQ

 

[Ralph Cecil]

You should possibly tech chase instead of throwing MK off stage, because you can rack up some pretty good damage quick from it, & edge guarding MK can be a pain at times. T_T Also you could always post that in the Snake video critique thread. =D

 

[SolarSkurge]

I could, but 2 things.

1.) Nobody ever watches them, and if they do they say nothing about it

2.) More often than not they just tell me how much I suck instead of giving me advice.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I usually get good advice there. o-o & By tell you how much you suck do you mean say what your doing wrong? Because that's still good too.

 

[SolarSkurge]

Nope. They just say that I shouldn't play Snake. Sadface. I'm not THAT bad.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Well I guess if you're persistent enough they'll critique you.

 

[Dooms]

Its probably because of the characters you play against in a lot of your videos (Ganondorf and Samus were two that I noticed).

That could be it exactly. Only person in my crew that plays high tier is me. :/

 

[Dooms]

Yeah. Show them the match you've had with Zozefup. I'm sure you'll be able to get actual critique since its metaknight, a character that a lot of people know how to play against.

 

[SolarSkurge]

I'm still iffy. i think that if I keep practicing I can make something of my Snake, but if I don't I'll main Falco

 

[Dooms]

I'm sure your problem right now is probably match up experience, since it seems you don't get to play that many high tier characters at all. Try playing some wifi. It may be bad, but the matchup experience you can get there is endless.

 

[SolarSkurge]

I do sometimes. I REALLY need to since Snake is so wifi friendly. I played a Wario named 1-up on there the other day, and that certainly tought me some things.

 

[Dooms]

If you need someone to play against, then message me. I play a lot of characters at a somewhat decent level, and I can help you with matchups I'm sure. I can usually play on weekends if you're interested.

 

[SolarSkurge]

Sounds good. I play a lot of people. False's Falco made me terrified of that matchup. O_O'

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Yeah the Falco mu is pretty brutal when you don't know it or play it much.

 

[SolarSkurge]

I think the MU I'm worried about the most is Pika. After playing Zozefup the MU for Meta felt pretty comfortable.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

If you're worried about the cg you can blow yourself up past 45%(I think that's it) & then just play normallly. I just camp on the platform until I reach that percent, & hope to hurt them in the process lol. Also don't DI if you don't have to or else thunder will kill you. That's kind of all I can say off of the top of my head.

 

[SolarSkurge]

Gosh..for some reason I just got a HUGE urge to play Project M *cough*2:05*cough* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25Kwg4LG5s8&feature=related

 

[Roller]

You guys shouldn't be worrying that much about the cg. It's not as integral to pikas gameplan as it is vs spacies and sheik and whatnot. Just use a lot of grenades, have one in hand/next to you as often as possible. Also, you can buffer grenades in the middle of pikas throws. The mu is about even.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Yeah I know, but he said he was worried so I assumed it was about that.

 

[Exceladon City]

Also DON'T MOMENTUM CANCEL AFTER PIKA'S USMASH!

It's a free Thunder.

 

[SolarSkurge]

Okay. Got all that down. Now other than brinstar and rainbow cruise, what stages would be against my favor?

 

[KassandraNova]

So...smashfest at my place on tuesday KY. Be thereeee. Also thinking about getting Canes afterwords.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I don't know I personally like Brinstar outside of the MK, Marth, & Yoshi mus. I think bad stages are mu dependant.

Also Q_Q Why so far away? I want to go to one fo these Ky smashfest.

Aslo yeah Oreo's right so pretty much be weary of any move of Pika's that sends you up.

 

[DtJ Composer]

Whereabouts do you guys actually live in Kentucky, Kass? Is it close to/in Louisville?

 

[SolarSkurge]

Y'know I was gonna go to IN today..but not for a good reason. Sorry guys but I may be on a smash hiatus for a while, since my girlfriend just passed away.

 

[Roller]

Okay. Got all that down. Now other than brinstar and rainbow cruise, what stages would be against my favor?

Rainbow and FD are pika's best stages. However Brinstar is his worst. I'd suggest striking FD right off the bat for game 1. Try to go to YI or Lylat. if not, SV and BF are both fine.

If picto is legal, that is very good for pika. So is PS2. I would also not CP to PS1. You ideally want Halberd. Most pikas will ban brinstar in virtually every matchup. Snake being one in particular they will probably ban it on.

So I would advise CPing to Halberd (low ceiling+Utilt+pika's weight=awesome) or Brinstar. Brin only if you KNOW they have no decent pocket MK. Otherwise.. YI and Lylat are pretty good for you. I personally hate playing vs snake on YI (as pika) and Pikapika (a top pika) pretty much always bans lylat. There's a reason.

EDIT: DAMN. That is awful man. I don't even know what to say.. My sincere condolences

 

[KassandraNova]

I live in Lexington Composer.

 

[DtJ Composer]

Aw man... the farthest away.

 

[Exceladon City]

Oh dear. My condolences go out to you and your girlfriend's family.

Oh... oh my. I'm really sorry about you and her family's loss. You don't have to apologize for going on a hiatus because of something as serious as that. I definitely understand why you would have to.

 

[SolarSkurge]

It's alright. I remember a couple weeks ago she told me not to just give up on life if she passed. It's amazing how the world can be so cruel sometimes.

Did she have a medical condition?

 

[SolarSkurge]

Nope. She decided to go car surfing and she fell off and cracked her head. They had her on life support for about 18 hours and then they unplugged it. But I feel much better now, she wouldn't want me to just mope about it. Anyways, I picked up Bowser as my main on Melee.

 

[SolarSkurge]

WHY DOES THE THREAD ALWAYS DIE ONCE I POST?!

Anyways, Melee vids!

[Ralph Cecil]

Well it might be because somehow the Power Ranking thread has been where everyone is posting.

 

[DtJ Hilt]

That, and the people that don't post in that thread, post in the Indiana/Kentucky Social.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

^^^^This too.
