Smash Brothers Brawl: Post here while you play!

[Meian]

For me, your Wario is the hardest character to kill. I think he and Ness are your best bets for winning. My only other advise for you is even if you're winning 2 to 1 on stocks, don't get comfortable. You have a tendency to relax and then it let me start to come back at you during some of the fights. Keep pressure on your opponents and kill 'em off asap.

I got so lucky smashing your PK fire back at you lol. Took me a sec to register that you were trapped to go in for the up smash.

Man, I remember that match. I saw it coming but was stuck on top of it and couldn't DI out in time =x

I was a bit tired, went to bed like at 3:30 am last night so my reflex was a bit slower when I was ahead (semi-confident while tired makes it real bad for me XD)

Wario I was thinking for when Marth eats me up with his grab infinite on Ness; don't trust my Sonic yet and everyone else has little advantage on him.

I don't know your AIM so I'm just going to say it here. I couldn't understand why I was consistently being predictable fighting you for the first few matches but then I figured it out: you spot dodge a lottttttttttt. Way too much, to the point where it became too predictable and easily punishable. In all honesty I shouldn't have beaten you so much with Random because you're a good player, so I'm telling you this in hopes that you'll work on this habit. I just noticed that whenever I was right in front of you, you'd instantly shield then spot dodge. All I had to do was bait a response and you were wide open.

[Kobb]

Well, you and I rarely if ever fight one another, and I never fought against Marth. I spot dodge like that because my main opponent (Meian) is quick to counter me as soon as we start getting close. I've just grown accustom to fighting one person's play style. Like I said in an earlier reply to Ryko, I've only started using spot dodges in Brawl and it's never really been a downside for me. Usually it just ends up irritating people to come running at me to try and hit me.

I knew you were just randoming which doesn't bother me. I like playing skilled people, but the Pit spam was a little annoying. Maybe you were annoyed with me? I don't know.

Would love fighting you again. Usually we're both on and I'm staring at the screen wondering why you don't make or room or join ones I've made in the past.

[Meian]

Tourny was nice. I did really well in my matches up to the point I fought this guy who've I sparred with in the past. I have been able to beat his mains (Snake/Kirby/Ice Climbers/Mario) relatively well but then I realized he chose Metaknight and it went downhill from there.

That damn winged bat is such a nuisance :\ Lost closely on the first match but it was just one round so I had to go to Loser bracket. Did well there again until I fought some really fast Lucario player, beat him with luck then fought the same Metaknight again (whom my friend beat barely on his Wario) and lost pretty badly on Yoshi's Island killing myself twice from the stage where PK2 wasn't going to work heh.

I really can't believe the difference in power (even when I know it) of someone playing his mains then chooses Metaknight who isn't even one of his mains heh. I can only blame myself since I didn't have enough practice against Metaknight and that I didn't change Ness into what Kobby suggested, Wario, when I got into the Loser bracket (one round matches so can only change in Loser bracket once).

Oh well, still happy how I did since my friend was the one who beat him again in the finals even though I can beat my friend's Wario on Ness XD

They did extended replays so those may be up later even though none of them are impressive to watch (not tourny level people but better than casual) except the Lucario one and my friend facing the Metaknight. Sadly, we forgot to replay the close match with Metaknight and me the first time but the horrible one the second time >_<

Dang, I need you all to use Metaknight on me now until I find a niche D: Whorenado is a pain lol and damn Shuttle Loop into Down-Smash was something I didn't know you could link together =x

[Kobb]

lolMetaknight. I'll use use him if you want. Don't really know how to use him besides what I've seen on recorded fights.

[AkashiXI]

Nah, I was just capitalizing on the fact that you were approaching for the sake of...well, approaching. You don't have to come after me: power shield, safely space yourself or edge-hog. Also shield dash against a spammer, it makes approaching safer.

[AkashiXI]

Shuttle Loop is extremely safe if used right. However, with Wario you can powershield the last hit and Bite him. Wario's bite (out of powershield) comes out faster than a grab or dsmash. As for tornado, if you see it coming just fsmash or punish. Tilt your shield upwards so it doesn't get pierced, wait it out, then run in for a punish. Usually a smart Meta will start to retreat towards the end of Tornado's animation, so anticipate this and wait for a set-up. Also you should know this by now, but the top of Tornado is completely vulnerable, so try to throw some dairs into him.

[AoE]

I've actually been trying to pick up Metaknight but I can't play him the same online as opposed to offline. Probably not gonna bring my Wii back up until I go on Spring Break in about another 3 weeks.

Edit: Holy shit Kashi I have a friend that lives in Peotone, Illinois. If I ever go to visit her, I'll probably send you a PM or something.

[AkashiXI]

Peotone is really close lol. Like 20mins North of me. If you ever come down here, tell me for sure.

You mean if on Wario, yea? Was hoping for Ness heh but he only Tornadoed when near me so little time to jump from above to dair and really never retreated unless he caught me in the air with it at the end.

Haha thx Kobby but don't have to spam him too much just every so often. I'll be on later if anyone else is planning to =x

I just loathe Metaknight, but maybe playing him well help us both figure out better ways to kill him.

Think the best thing that came from me fighting Akashi was when he finally used Diddy I was doing fairly well, where the last time he 3 stocked me time and again. Yeah yeah I know it's wifi but it's the only way I play against people so it made me feel good. <.<

[AkashiXI]

I'm not going to john (even though I did win), but I SD'd twice trying to wall jump -> bananas onto the stage. My online Diddy is terrible, I can't do 90% of the shit I do offline. I really wouldn't attest this as some sort of progression on your end, because simply put when you played my Diddy before it was good (online) only because I trained it online. Feel free to come to Chicago and MM me ;p.

@Meian: yes.

edit: You have gotten better, that's for sure. I'm not stifling your accomplishments, but I hope you stay humble.

[Meian]

Was fun matches Kobby / Kashi! Been picking up Zelda a little more lately whom I've used for a long while but not openly much outside of a few friends of mine. Still having a few issues controlling Farore's Wind but I hope I am doing well with her overall heh.

That was interesting though, Kobby, how just a normal Jab from Ness somehow stopped Tornado =x Oh, and how you hit Kashi when you were about to win to give him his recovery back =p

[Kobb]

Yeah I know. I only realized it after I hit him ._.

I figured I needed to log off and do my homework when I retardedly fsmashed myself to death.

[AkashiXI]

I was actually aiming for Kobby's parasol and was hoping he wouldn't retract it at the last second. Was pretty epic

[AoE]

Shoulda saw when it was Kobby (Peach) and I (Ness) fighting and he messed up his recovery on Metaknight's stage ship and slowly started descending down into the abyss. I got the bright idea to join him and b-air him before he fell and then I made it back onto the stage.

[AoE]

Due to unexpected personal circumstances, I'm bringing my Wii back home for good so I'll be back on in the weekends. >_>
