This is contestable, I didn't change because of the monthly. I always played peach but preferred fox because I found him more fun. The monthly let me find peach fun again and gave me things to practice with her. I'll probably still use fox if I need him but the idea of a main is kind of stupid being as I can play both characters to a high level and I'm probably going to try out my sheik for southampton.
Yeah I know you did play peach before.

But if you're performance was better with fox overall in the tournament you have to admit that it would extremely unlikely you would be doing all this peach talk and changing sigs and avatars right now and prioritizing peach lol.

i might come to this if tc will have me. i might bring last dragon if thats all right.
You should come, it will be good practice :)

Yeah I am interested for Friday......not thursday anymore lol.

How many TV's you have for setups anyway, cos I don't wanna take my cube to college and carry it around all day lol.
The tram to Wimbeldon is right next to my college so I just wanna take an easy trip there.....I hope other people can bring setups.

uhm i got 1 tv in my room 1 in my living room, there's my mum's etc but I think she'll want that left alone.

I got 1 set-up so if someone else could bring one that'd be good.

/e oh yeah I should mention this friday I got some stupid day on school that finishes at normal time (3:20) so get to the station around then and phone me or go to my house for 4.

Awesome, if its simply logistically impossible/pointless i was going to come and pick it up this week anyway, so no sweat. Go to the arcade, **** some naps xD

TC u have car? If you have a car i wouldn't mind lugging my TV around, so long as you could give me a lift back to the station afterwards. Its pretty small, but he its 60hz

Saturday ill h ave to be up at 10 to feed my dogs. Lol though, I've been late for Ranbat, has people smashing for 3 hours in my room, and had people knocking on my door and i still don't wake-up so its debatable.

I have a mobile now so waking up shouldn't be a problem - yeah, any time after 10, but if you do decide to come that early don't unless u have credit - because u might be ringing the doorbell for a while due to my waking up problems.

184 to sainsburys in east barnet, then call me on 07962223480

I guess you're right. London forced me to "come to terms" with myself lol. I always kind of knew I was better off with peach just liked fox too much, now I kind of hate him becaue all I do is bair, it's dullll.

Va - lol Well atleast you have peach now to become more consistent with now and stuff. Will be interesting returning to that.

ANYWAY TC.....SERIOUSLY, we need more then one setup for this when we might have 6 people or more :urg:.
Is there any chance in getting one or getting one of your friends down the street like last time to get one, I can help bring it.
Cos this would mean it would be a contious doubles thing and that's gay lol.

dammit, the time flew by so quickly :(

but my fox came along leaps and bounds. Took some advise of someone random - try thinking more and pressing less buttons. I can do the backwards waveshine now, and that was my biiiiggest block to starting fox seriously. When ive perfected that and shine bair and thunders, i will be an unstoppable machine muhahahaaaaa

prof watch out
(im actually serious)

There is a HELL OF ALOT more to fox then learning Thunders and Waveshines and Shine bair is pretty useless tbh lol
Unless you're doing Reverse Shine Bair.

Alot of people in the UK can do all of the above and still aren't amazing with fox.
It will prob feel like you are really good when you step up on your tech skill with fox, but in a real game it's a different story.

I don't think your fox will be ANY threat anytime soon anyway.

I think I probably know more tech skill **** with fox than prof or charles but literally it doesn't help you win that much. I can shine > shffl aerial with perfect L-cancels and fast falls 100% on a shield but it doesn't help because I still get shield grabbed because I can't space like mango :(

I literally have spent hours perfecting stupid thing like reverse thunders combos and all this ******** and I can it all consistently. It's good but it's not that great mmkay?

reverse shine bair = shine, turnaround, SH and Bair in the same direction you are running?
Id say running shine => usmash out of it is quite useful at times.
Ive been playin Jiggs recently and i think i might use her as a secondary =/ but still falco FTW lol

agreed. If you focus on what technical stuff your doing all the time then you will be read like a book as your not paying enough attention to your opponent.

Btw- I am coming to TCs and I can bring a setup if needed

finally i can play you



if anyone read before, i said i was pressing less buttons and thinking more x_x , more like wait wait predict HUGE BUTTON FILTHY COMBO BURST wait wait, but if i could do the said techniques i mentioned earlier, the combos would have been better/lead to a nicer setup. Also if i could thunders, the falco would have been fuuukked until i told him how to SDI outta it.

Don't think i'm some technical fiend, i am more than aware of the importance of mindgames over tech skill. But the point i tried to put across that every1 has missed so far, is that mindgames can only go so far (especially with the kinda fox i am aiming to play), without the technical skill to follow it up after certain moves. Ofc you all already know that, but are talking to me as if i didn't know it



yeh bullet your setups is more than required i think

Shine upsmash is very useful for someone lying on the floor.

The reason for this is because you can never usually run up to someone and up smash them while they are lying on the floor in time, but if you shine it stuns them and then you can get in the upsmash just in time.

I use it all the time against people who aren't waveshineable.

And yes Deathgazer I was talking about when you are running the same direction. Which is why I said shine turnaround bair is more useful then just shine bair.

yeah simply because shine bair most of the time can be replaced with a bair but you can't bair someone after running up to them unless you shine

falco/jiggs seems like a pretty popular choice, i'm kind of contemplating that path myself.

please do, it'd help a lot. ;)
