What's the one thing that makes you good?

[-Ran]

Since we all like to stroke our egos:

Narrow down everything that you do in Smash to one quintessential concept, and describe why it makes you good. Don't just say Mind games, go in depth. I'm curious and bored.

 

[Shadic]

My skills that I used to have in Smash64.

And the fact that I can sometimes combo. Also, I play decently well with a low-tier character (Link,) even in matchups that I should be getting killed in. (Against Sheik in Melee)

 

[TidalSpiral]

Understanding the range of moves. If you understand how far an attack reaches and in what direction you can work on timing it perfectly so that it won't ever miss (except from dodges of course). This goes toward projectiles and items as well.

 

[Alzi]

It's all about the timing that makes you have that certain skill.

 

[Titanium Dragon]

My valuation abilities; the ability to see what matters and what doesn't. It really applies to everything.

 

[Browny]

My ability to not john like crazy every time something goes wrong, and watch replays etc to learn from my mistakes.

 

[Jimnymebob]

My ability to not john like crazy every time something goes wrong, and watch replays etc to learn from my mistakes.

1st off, I only really save replays of my mistakes .

Secondly, I don't really care whether I win or lose a match, or a series of matches. Just as long as I learn something about my character I'm happy.
I take learning thins in baby steps- I started using shieldgrabs yesterday, as I've never really used them before, and now I have something effective to incorporate in my playstyle.

In conclusion, I have a casual attitude towards winning, but I am slowly learning all the techniques my character, and the game, has to offer.

 

[Aeropup]

I think that I'm a fairly good ike user. I can space well with him, I know the range of his moves (tipper fsmash is a specialty of mine) and I hardly ever use quickdraw.

I need to work on my aetherspiking, fastfalling bairs and jab canceling.

In general, I need to read and watch my opponents more, and work on not losing my composure during a match.

 

[The Sex Puma]

.......grab ****

 

[Firestormzero0]

To Outsmart my opponent and throw him off guard... and also predict what move he is going to use next..

 

[Jimnymebob]

To Outsmart my opponent and throw him off guard... and also predict what move he is going to use next..

Oh, you mean the current tier list?

 

[DarkISDA]

The fact that I can use a lots of characters even tourney wise. From Top Tier to Bottom, I can take out anything at any time. I just need to know my match-ups.

 

[Sosuke]

Nothing.
Nothing at all.

 

[SothE700k]

Nothing.
Nothing at all.

Give this guy a medal
(Same thing for me, nothing)

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

What's the one thing that makes you good?

I suck really bad?

 

[Ange]

The fact that I SD myself sometimes when I try to edgeguard. LOL

I dont know, Im not that great anyway.

 

[Pelikinesis]

Metamindgamespam.

Footstool combos with Mewtwo into Falcon Punch. While underwater.

 

[brinboy789]

metamindgamesexperience. thats a big, if not the biggest factor in if your "good" or not

 

[Vonzar the Soulrender]

My ability to sandbag and mindgame at the same time, really throws people off.

 

[Phyvo]

I know more about the game than most people because I read up on games I like a lot. So I have a lot of head knowledge.

But everything else sucks because I don't get to practice against people. I can beat scrubs and casuals but that's pretty much it. Sometimes when I play I am losing and I think "that thing that he is doing is kicking my butt but it really shouldn't be, I just suck at this."

 

[Spoonbob]

metamindgamesexperience. thats a big, if not the biggest factor in if your "good" or not

Lol I thought that meant "meta mindgame sex experience" at first.

And, uh, nothing.

 

[SuperMetroid44]

Watch other good people play, Save replys when I lose ( Mostly when I lose Badly ) , And Take advice from people who know what there doing!

 

[tocador]

I think i have a Turn ON[X] Turn OFF[ ] momentum thingy, cause as bad as i am, i never lose it :D

 

[DMG]

I want someone to tell ME why I am good.

Brawl is very small in my town, tourneys rarely go over 12 or so unless OOC players come.

There is a gap between me and the rest of the players.

I travel around the state occasionally and I will play on tournament day, but that's usually it.

I don't practice at home, online, etc.

All I do is sit and think briefly about the game.

 

[plasmatorture]

Blitzkrieg offense with the ability to observe and regain momentum fairly quickly (usually). Then again, my opponents aren't all that great and often fall into predictable patterns...

 

[Sonic on the Rocks]

The fact that for some reason my friend's spammy, thundery, edgehoging Pikachu is unable to defeat my Ganondorf.

 

[trev94]

im realy good a meatero smashing

 

[1048576]

High risk, high reward tactics, especially running up to people and doing nothing. They dodge ~ 60% of the time; more if they don't know me.

This.
I don't get too many opportunities to play during the week, so to get better, I just do theorycraft on approaches and simulate situations in my head.

 

[Palpi]

I think my natural charm shines in my play.

 

[Kholdstare]

The Triforce of Power Combo.

Ganondorf's Side B + Down Tilt + Up Tilt + Up B + Side B.

It ***** hard.

 

[Grunt]

Metaknight.

 

[FireKirby7]

Pivot Grabbing with Lucas. It's the best aerial approach punisher.

 

[Kennahh]

I can space very well, which is kind of crucial as a Link main >_>

 

[Ugg]

Knowing matchups.

 

[clowsui]

Knowing the abilities of most of the cast and video analysis.

I've watched WAAY too many Smash vids -_-

 

[Xebenkeck]

Being smarter than my opponent

 

[Negi-Kun]

Falcon's up air.

 

[POKE40]

-my timing
-my CF's unbeatable down taunt
-my CF's awesome manlyness
-my knowledge of D3's wall **** (infinites to the wall with most characters)

I know thats a couple but oh well

 

[Twilght Link]

my great projectile usage and zair spacing.
