^Naw those are valid observations imo.
I feel like extreme judge can do work though, if you just replace all your dthrow followups with judge. Sorta like an all or nothing sorta deal.
My plan for villager was to absorb the pushy lloid explosion (that's the one my city's villager uses) and focusing on midscreen punishing him with it. then I can use extreme judge to rage myself up and ohko him from across the stage with the long distance bucket, but I never really got to try it out.
But it's just something I wanted to test, doesn't really matter I guess but i still believe it's worth having AT LEAST one extreme judge.
Just got back from Sandstorm. Fun tourney, not really happy about my results performance wise.. I had a good time though
I had Z (Vegas Pikachu) in my pool and I was so hype. Me and him have a little bit of a rivalry sorta deal but I have a lot of respect for him as a player. I won game 1, then he adapted really well game 2 and 3. Couldn't catch Pikachu. he was doing a really solid job at spacing himself right outside of my range, I couldn't land any significant punishes and just died really early a lot. Pivot fsmash =/
It was streamed so i'll post it when it gets uploaded if anyone wants to critique me
I got 3rd seed out of pools unfortunately. Dropped a handful of games because... well GW. I just died so early Would've still got second to Z but I dropped a match to a Ness player i don't usually lose to. Yeah I know, I just kinda played really sloppy and overconfident but I didn't think she'd beat me lol. My fault though, I should've played harder it wouldve helped on day 2 to have that better seed.
In bracket I went up against a vegas Sonic first. I was stressing about having to play Sonic, then playing the guy in the first round I was like: oh this guy isn't so bad. Won the first match. Second match vegas came to cheer him on, and reminded him to play more patient. He beat me, then i pretty much had no choice but to take him to delfino lol. I didn't really wanna fight sonic there but it was the only stage left that made sense after bans. I dunno... but yeah i got left behind by the stage at the start of second stock derp. he won the set
fought through losers a bit. Bodied our AZ sonic, ran through losers for a bit and then had to play Xero a vegas Rosalina (he used to main olimar in brawl)
it was hard, I tried but got 2-0'd. That matchup is super hard. He was using the Falco laser star bit
YOU CAN BUCKET THAT GUYS. I DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG IT IS BUT I FIGURED IT OUT TOO LATE.
in doubles I did better but I really wanted top 4, but there we're some hard teams. Me and Wafty got 5th. We had a rough time getting there though, every single set (except the ones we lost) we lost like the first round and had to win 2 in a row. I dunno, I was just really aggro and kept having to remind myself to play patient. I just really like going in. We lost to MVD and Z and Nairo and Ja3 (Ja3 is a member of my crew, SFA, who i recommended to nairo after his teammate bailed)
So no shame in losing to those guys but I really wanted it. Especially nairo and Ja3 second match was close after we made the proper adjusments to our play but Nairo= too broken.
Lost a money match to a Mii Brawler as my custom Ganon. Then double or nothing'd with GW and won. Also money matched MVD and got 3-0'd. the matches were good and super close though except for the 3rd where he JV 2 stock'd me.
17/160 something in singles, 5/50 something teams in doubles
I tried but probably putting GW on the backburner after this tourney. I wanna use custom Rosalina but I don't play lame enough. gonna iron out my Ness and hopefully go mostly him in tournament. I'm keeping GW for certain matchups and Doubles. The nerf hit harder than I thought, the up tilt thing actually lost me a lot of matches, It doesn't just make it harder to combo with but i had people slipping out of it all weekend and punishing me for it which made me weary of using it. I dunno why that was happening, it didn't happen before. =/
edit: oh snap also you guys should see my 1v2 vs MVD and Z i was doing some tight stuff
