At first I thought you meant my expectation to have 80+ players. Then I realized you just meant the "if you don't think you'll progress out of pools, it might be better to save your money and just play more friendlies" part. But keep in mind, he is talking to a girl. So it's not THAT bad of a mindset...is it? You're coming to this, right?

Kage, maybe we can get Saffy to marry you and then you both can move to Springfield ^_^

Saffy, I'm entering singles bracket even though I know I'll just get wrecked. But then again, I'm only contributing $15 to the bonus pot.

Also, I'd totally pay $5 to get 3-0ed by Kage. It's kind of like a money match, but without the chance of making it back.

LOL, that's funny to think like that. But I mean I'm only human, I can be beaten as well. <3

Agreed, tournament experience is usually the best experience you can get.

Edit: Zivilyn, LOLLLL. But I mean I actually would do it... =D

"pools will probably knock people out rather then be just for seeding so if you don't think you'll progress out of pools, it might be better to save your money and just play more friendlies.."

I'm not trying to say she won't make it at all, I'm saying if she doesn't think she'll make it, she might enjoy the tournament more by saving 15 dollars and getting more friendlies in instead. I don't see how that's a terrible mindset. You can get a lot more matches in with your preferred opponents from friendlies, rather then waiting on your bracket matches to fight against people who are going to have the mindset "play to win."

I find it easier, if you're starting melee, to play with people who can teach you while you play and play characters they're not particularly good with so the person learning has a bit of a fighting chance. I do agree that fighting better people gets yourself better, but that only goes so far. If you're trying to learn melee and you're just getting 4 stocked all over the place by a person who's been playing for a long time and who's playing at their best, I don't see how you can learn much from that.

Edit: Lol @ 2 posts being posted in the time it took me to write this one. I hate it when that happens.

kage, i request a bunch of MMs! something like, marth/peach/fox/falco vs ganon.....all 5$ best of 3. get at me!


edit: Lil englands prolly thinking of it from a, if this person wants to get better, standpoint......friendlies are just like they sound....not serious and friendly for the most part....u dont really even get nervous in friendlies, but in a pool/bracket match, its a completly diff beast. all smashers know this 0_0!

i suggest saving the 15 bux and going around and 1/2$ mms ppl untill you make a bunch back or are outta the 15$!

There is no substitute for tournament experience, especially since the game's days are numbered. You should play in the tourney because who knows when you will be able to play in another one of this calibre.

@BHLMRO This is how I see it. Even though your post was directed towards Saffy, it was indirectly also posted towards anyone else who is unsure of their ability to perform in tournament. If you're going to a tournament, ENTER the tournament. Don't beat around the bush because you don't think you'll do well. Get the tournament experience. This has proven time and time again to be the best way to improve! Ask questions about the match after the set, whether you win or lose.

Overall, people are just too tense when it comes to tournaments. Just relax play your game and have fun!

I, myself, have thrown money away by entering a tournament and not getting through pools. Do I regret it? No. I agree with you that tournaments are the best way to improve, no doubt. But do you really believe that a tournament will make you improve if you're not able to L cancel, wavedash, etc.? I'm sorry, but I still stand by my beliefs that there is a line where you will not progress if you are not of a specific skill level and that friendlies with other players may be a better way to improve.

I don't want this to sound like I'm calling Saffy a noob, but the last time I remember her talking about melee, I heard she said that she wasn't able to L cancel or wavedash very well. This could have changed, and if she has improved, I suggest that she may want to enter the tournament. But if she hasn't practiced much and still doesn't feel too sure on her progression, it might be better for her to play friendlies.

I like to put it in a Pokemon perspective. A lvl 5 will fight against a it's own level just fine, or improve by fighting those a bit higher. But we can all agree a lvl 5 can not compete with a lvl 25 so the lvl 5 might not want to fight in a tournament full of lvl 25-50's until the lvl 5 levels up by training against people of the same level or slightly better.

I'm sorry for the long reply. I'm terrible at explaining the way I think, lol.

JUST SAY IT I'M A NOOB. No I really am I know nothing of Melee. I won't get offended or anything. I just need to improve ;3.

I can wavedash with luigi perfectly now. I can't incorporate L-Cancel though.
I might enter just so I can let Kage win more money? YES? Sounds like a good plan.


Apparently I am getting married again. I feel like one of those polygamists...

At least you have 2 years of experience. I've got only 5 legit tournaments under my belt since 06. 3 of them being this year. That's sad, sort of. At least my number increased by more than double in a year.

Thats all it takes, playing, having fun, learning, ect. Everyone learns in their own way, and playing serious against people who are also serious is a really good way to learn.
