Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

Who has problems against who on this ladder? I'm willing to help give you guys advice and how to improve your game so that the level of competition can be upgraded making this ladder more exciting. Most of you guys understand the concept of this game well, yet don't use what could be a much better move in that given situation. I can guarantee i can improve your game dramatically especially if you're classified more as a scrub which is the majority of you guys( no offense) which is why i'm willingto help.

Explain to me how to beat your Game and Watch.

No, just kidding. I know what is needed of me, and I'm just frankly unwilling to do what is necessary. I guess I could start playing 100% aerial matches when I get bored though... that'd help me a ton, I'm sure, even if it would still leave me short of being able to win against your G&W. I think primarily I need to get better at neutral aerials, and develop an ability to actually focus on what to do, rather than playing it by ear. In fact, when I rattle off combos in the forum, I have to manually think of what I do and translate that in my mind; yet when I'm playing, it just flows. I've also been developing some thing against the sandbag that I have yet to fully implement into my gameplay. I got tons of wacky things with down and up aerials, but I hardly ever use them in game since my aerials always end up being fallbacks for me to cover when I can't get a smash off or am recovering or am trying to catch my opponent off guard.

oh and i totally forgot. I have some easily identifiable trouble with manti due to my shielding skills not being up to snuff. Any quick fix on that front?

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

well korny here is what i would like to do. scince you are offering to help the members of the ladder, would you mind terribly if we played a few matches tomorrow with me using Lucas and you can perhaps tell me what i'm doing wrong or right? i'm prolly also gonna ask Manti the same thing except with Samus.

P.S. when i say tomorrow, i guess i technically mean later on today

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

Was this an official match? Was a shroom used (Temote is too low)?

Oh, we can play anyone now? Sweet, in that case I'm going to challenge Jordan

Post number 1008 in the thread, so yeah, I used my shroom for him. I might have forgotten to pm the results to you, though. <_<

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

I don't know if i'll be able to have access to a wii and more importantly wifi but we'll see what happens.

And I can't teach you how to beat my G&W. However by using extremely good character placement and good shielding, you can make it difficult for me to execute my full out strategy if you know what moves to use following the ones i just mentioned.

Your strategy focuses mainly on short hop back aerial with occasional forward and down aerial, and down tilts/smashes and dashes peppered in when necessary. Oh and of course, that nasty bucket, but then again, I suppose you wouldn't get a chance to use that against the majority of characters. Honestly, you should use some of the other attacks more. His neutral B can be used in a way sort of similar to how I use Pikachu's neutral B, even if it's not quite as versatile. And his up smash/tilt are pretty good too, but I don't think you ever really use those. And another thing, you never take a chance with his forward B. With decent care, the spam neutral ground attack can be effective at tacking on percents too (or at the very least, can be used from time to time to throw off your opponent). You could even take some chances on his forward B... yeah, I know it sucks most of the time, but IT COULD GET LEVEL NINE!!!

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

There's a lot more to my strategy then that to my game. You just haven't seen any of it because you don't force me to play on that level.

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

Argue about how good they really are as much as you want, these people win 50-300 person entry tournaments and have all made thousands of dollars playing Brawl so they must have something you can learn from.

If you guys enjoy watching videos some new and rising Brawl pros that you can look for:
DmBrandon (Meta Knight main)
PsychoMidget (Snake main)
DieSupaFly or DSF (Snake main)
Forward (Meta Knight main)
Ankoku (Sheik main)
Futile (Wario main)
Bum (DK main)
Hylian (Basically amazing, most well known for his ICs and GaW but you cannot counterpick him, he has vids of his ICs GaW Samus Marth Pika Toon Link Pit Fox ZSS and Kirby)
Needle of Juntah or NoJ (Game and Watch main)
Anther (Pikachu main, also considered best Lucario)
Inui (Marth main)
Sliq (Ganondorf main)
AlphaZealot (Diddy main)
Plan 9 (Wario main)
Overswarm (R.O.B. main)
Dope (D3 main)
Chip (Toon Link main)
Deva (Link main)

There are more if you want me to give you more, these are the ones I know of and watch videos from.

EDIT: for afro, http://youtube.com/watch?v=LNnnXqPkdAQ its really old and both of them are a lot better now, but there is a video that you can learn from, NoJ and korny are very similiar in play style.

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

haha. Omni, no Link mainers? :[

And I forgot to post my results with Suttymon yesterday...
abbiemon(Link) vs Suttymon(Samus) = abbiemon
abbiemon(Link) vs Suttymon(Pit) = abbiemon
abbiemon(Toon Link) vs Suttymon(Pit) = abbiemon

As for WTFBrandon... we have a challenge to get to. :]

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

oh noez abbie is closing in!!! i hope she doesn't beat me!!!

P.S. dogdude, if someone wants to challenge you but you gain a rank on the ladder and you are suddenly out of their reach, can they still challenge you?

im not sure why i thought of this but i did so whats the verdict?

also korny, it doesnt have to be today if u still want to help. just pm me or post here when it's convenient for you. you are helping me after all.

The best Link main is probably Deva, Chip's partner.
Unfortunately Link is currently a low/bottom tier character because with him being very underplayed and unpopular he isn't getting many high placings in the major +50 entry tournaments, and most of those come from Deva. Regardless I added him to the list.
