Board 8 > Does anybody want to play Smash Wii U later today?

(+) Yeah! (+)

valiant effort, anagram
---

i liked when i countered someone's uh spikey aquatic item and hit robin with it
---

I didn't realize I had a final smash when I wasted it, though I'm sure I would have wasted it anyway.
---

There was a period of time where everytime I took a swing at GOG, GUM would get in my way every time and get hit and die lol
---

that was a fun hour of smash

got some trophies and unlocked Kongo Jungle 64
---

GOG three stocked us, yeah

---

I won my smash tournament tonight

Do not want to play anymore (plus I play like a lame-o doing items off and competitive legal stages only) but good to see people are playing with pun

I only got to do that when I was in a small region, now top 8 is tough ;_;
---

This was the worst stage
---

oh I should ask good friend solio how to stand a chance before I go to Michigan Masters in April

being a non-competitive player I expect to get destroyed in the 1st round
---

yes I've barely played the Wii U version. I got burnt out after 100%ing the 3DS version and never really played any of the modes in the Wii U version outside of playing online with B8.
---

yea, 100%ing the 3ds version is a nightmare

I give shine the pass
---

damnnnnn dc
---

aw what the fuck the match dropped
---

Someone DC'd
---

I guess I got disconnected?
---

I saw that, anagram

you didn't do that on purpose did ya?
---

I would never disconnect on purpose, even on Great Temple.
---

it's saying "unable to join room" on punny now
---

Wasn't Anagram I think. He and I were the only ones on the character select screen.
---

There was a slight chance it was me

I did say I was lagging every once in awhile

1. Neutral game - know your character's movement, know safe moves to throw out and when to throw them out, know what your opponent is looking for, and know how to bait them to use it in a way that you can punish

2. Punish game - when you get your opening, how far can you take it? know combos, how to take advantage of stage control, how to edgeguard or ledgetrap the opponent, and know how to keep juggles going

3. Recovery - if you lose neutral, how do you get back to neutral or turn the tides entirely? know how to get back to stage when thrown off, know possible mix-ups you can do to throw the opponent off your path, know how to land back on stage when getting juggled

4. Spacing - what range does your character play at, and what range does your opponent's character play at? what moves can you use to keep your opponent out, or should you instead try to be in their face the whole time? know which of your characters' moves have sweetspots and where they're located

5. Mental game - do you start to get more predictable when your opponent has the lead? can you condition your opponent into doing certain things and then punish them for it? can you identify both the opponent's habits and your own habits?

Lack in any one of these areas and you don't win a tournament

Considering that you're non-competitive and haven't really played outside of 3DS days, you're gonna get bopped pretty quick.

.... I had no idea unset mines are timed to explode
---

Yea, GOG is way better at me than this right now

I think at my peak we'd be even, like most competitive games we play
---

okay whoever picked that stage can go straight to hell

thats the worst stage ever
only rivaled by that paper mario 3ds stage
---

which stage was it?
---

the 80s DK one
---

WHO

THE HELL

DID IT

god dammit
---

I picked random

It could've been because of that
---

oh 75m is horrible

only rivaled by great cave offensive and palutena's temple
---

A special place is reserved in hell for those that pick 75m

Forgiven
---

I seriously can't function in that stage

You press down to go through the platform? Nah you're doing down the ladder instead

random fireballs kill you

then you get pinballed by 5 different things and then die by the random springs

you're always latching on to platforms when you don't want to

THE WORRRRRST!!!!
---

I'll pick real stages now to avoid this.

Yeah I did the 3DS version too, and I swear Nintendo must have upped the drop rates on special moves and hats because I had to grind a lot less on the Wii U.

I am saving this replay so hard
