That callout.

Probably will. If I get to play a couple of friendlies against people that **** me before brackets then I will do fine. (I play really well after I play better players.)

this isn't really what you said jdm but does anyone else seem to play better against players that are way higher level than them?

Whenever I play someone around my level in pools or something I feel like I have to stop and think "WTF are you thinking/doing" and then just fail hard at not taking advantage of less-than-solid play. Then I play some sub-rankers and play really solid, taking advantage where I can and end up doing way better than most would have done. Players like Fly, Alex19, Dunskies, and Psychomidget seemed to bring out the best of my play while sometimes I play really stupid and lose to, say, Antopark.

Yes.

Better players will make less mistakes compared to bad players so the window to punish is slim. That forces me to try to get as much damage off of that one mistake as I can.

When playing against bad players for too long I don't see these "mistakes" that well and my punishes become stale/random/predictable which will get ***** by players better than me.

yeah i feel you.when i play not-ranked players, i feel like i prepare for something a more effective player would, and when they less effective player doesnt do it, it messes me up.usually ends in me getting tippered lol

Sorry for my earlier post, I had previously thought that'd we'd booth to five but there was an error in that statement. We are only going to be boothing from 10-3PM instead of 5PM. However we are going to be boothing tomorrow from 10-3PM in the same place. Sorry about that, wish I notified you guys sooner. We didn't have any chairs out there today but hopefully we'll be able to get some tomorrow. See you guys there.

I only mentioned chairs because i might be on crutches.

I tried walking for a little while without them today and my foot's doing a lot better, so i might not actually NEED a chair, but either way it's not a good idea for me to stand on it for long. xD

actually i have class from 11-2 tomorrow, so i'll probably swing on by near the end of your booth time.

Coincidentally, I'll be in Irvine around the time the Fusion booth is running so I'll try and find it and play you guys or something.

After that, I'll probably be wandering the campus and calling everyone up to play smash, so I suggest you make it easier on me and just tell me if you can play smash tomorrow lol

lol guys I never said anto was bad just not way higher level than me like those other guys. I only used his win against me as an example because I raged a little after it. I apologize for the unwanted attention anto :(

I was going to money match you two anyway, I haven't even played either of you since.

Just a warning though, Jason, Okami, and Gsub helped me a bit with the Samus matchup and Falcon is still my easiest matchup.

Matt your avatar is hilarious

go to FD against marth and do down-throw nair nair uair ??? knee for bad DI, practice moving immediately after throw lag or landing lag finishes, practice rising SH uairs in combos or rapid fire them below a platform, learn how to pivot into short hop aerials so you can space them perfectly... wait a minute

practice doing those awesome suicide combos and incorporate falcon kick and falcon punch into your game.

You would accept my $100 MM? Or just a simple $2-$5 one?

If it's a small one, I'll play you 2 best of 5 sets, one with Fox and one with Sheik.

Then we can play friendlies with my Samus so that you can say, "Dang, Anto...you don't have any tricks compared to Okami's Samus!"

Response Edit: Sounds good. We can play Thanksgiving weekend. I'm back for 3 days then.
