Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

[DarkManticoreX2]

Pit's arrows fill the bucket.

Samus' missiles do not, neither does link's boomerang or arrows or bombs.

Samus's charge shot does though which gets annoying.

I don't like korny's game and watch for the sole reason that i can't get away from it. he plays me so damn close I almost can't use my missles. and the ledge hogging annoys the **** out of me. I can beat his other charachters, but his G&W is really good. Hey, lets svove a key into the ground with no cooldown if it misses -.-

Haha. After playing you and knowing how much you use the charge shot, I would really expect the bucket to be your biggest concern. But then again, the charge shot isn't an integral part of fighting for you, it's just easy boost damage. It's like "oh you're recovering? ok here's a shot to knock out some more percentsssss and maybe make you go flying".

Honestly, I don't give a crap about his aerial down attack though... if I get hit by it, I DESERVED to get hit by it. It's not hard to predict, and it's not intensely difficult to avoid either. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that his short hop back aerials are more annoying than the down aerials.

I'm not going to change my main just because the person who is widely recognized as the best just happens to use a character which is damn near impossible for someone to do well against with my character, and CERTAINLY not using my normal technique.

In other words: I'm not going to change my character just because his character is "better" than mine.

once again i didnt say his character is better. he just knows how to counter your specific character

But see, that's the thing. It's not a matter of countering. It's a matter of totally destroying me.

It'd be like playing Pokemon, one person choosing Pikachu, the other choosing Gyarados. The person playing Gyarados has almost no chance of beating Pikachu at all, and if he was to do it, he'd have to have a special moveset for that instance. But in Pokemon, you can have a full team to balance your weaknesses such as that. But in this game, I can't balance it. In order to figure a way to beat Korny's Game and Watch, I'd have to choose a character which does not use energy projectiles at all, and that is not something I am going to do.

Don't just say "duh pick a different character". How the **** would you feel if someone came up to you and said "oh someone beat you? YOU NEED TO CHOOSE A NEW CHARACTER LOL".

[Jor-Dan_the_greatest]

you're taking this way outta preportion. i was just giving the advice that if you are playing against korny in particular maybe you should use a different character. lets use the pokemon reference again. pika vs. gyarados. wouldnt the trainer using gyarados, knowing he doesnt stand a chance, switch out for say onix, or rhydon? yeah obviously you dont know what character a person on ssbb is going to pick necissarily, but with korny there is a high percentage that he will pick G&W. and if you dont want to use a different character, then try practicing against less intense G&W users.

EDIT: and besides, korny totally destroys EVERYONE

And I can remove the white background on the arrows for you. :]

EDiT:
Here you go. :]

You still move up and down the ladder as normal, you just get an arrow next to you showing your recent move(s). And thanks for the new arrow pics

EDIT: Not to be picky, but your pic for the green arrow has a jagged edge on the left >.< I'm gonna keep my old ones unless you can clean it up a lil, hehe. I'm such a perfectionist...

[WolfXhunter]

You missed my point of using the Pokemon comparison. Yes, the person WOULD swap out another better matched up Pokemon, BUT I CANNOT DO THE EQUIVALENT ACTION IN THIS CASE. Asking me to do so, might as well be saying "if you cant win with your chosen character, you need to play another character" and that's ****ty.

Again, my point was that THIS IS A DIFFERENT SITUATION. I can't just SWAP OUT ANOTHER POKEYMANS to do battle with. It's Pikachu or nothing, because anything else requires too much additional work and is simply not fun at all.

then try practicing against less intense G&W users.

No good. It's totally binary. Either the person knows how to use the bucket well and would stomp me, or they'd be total nub at it and I'd destroy them.

That, and it doesn't matter. The bucket is too versatile for me to be able to use my attacks that I want to use. If I want to stand a chance against the bucket, I'd need to COMPLETELY relearn how to play as Pikachu or pick up a new character (which would also require me to COMPLETELY relearn how to play). And that's ****ty.

and besides, korny totally destroys EVERYONE

No, he doesn't, and if not for my inability to perform, although he'd most likely still win, he wouldn't be killing all of my stocks before I could even get one of his down.

I guess i dont really understand because i am pretty good with many characters and you are uber with one. I like to use variety because i find that beasting people with the same character over and over becomes tedious after a while. Let's just stop arguing and accept the fact that we have totally different veiws.

Apology accepted, I know how frustrating this game gets. Especially under conditions, just remember that I don't gloat or taunt to make it worse. I feel that's unnecessary. A "good game" is pretty much all I do.

Yeah I know his Samus, I pretty much have his Bowser and Link figured out. That Samus still gets me at many points haha.

As for WolfxHunter, sure I'll get in touch via PM. =]

[WolfXhunter]

yay?

[Jor-Dan_the_greatest]

dogdude... i anticipate the 1,000th post will come on this day... you had better prepare yourself... any ideas so far?

I disagree. It allows me to open things up and discover new things all of the time.

I'm talking things like short hop down aerial, then snapping into an up aerial as I'm landing. This would put me almost right under you and you would be flopped up in the air. I didn't figure that **** out day one. Then again, I've scarcely been able to get off short hop down aerial into up aerial combos anyway.

How about getting a down smash just right so that you're thrown perfectly straight up? Combo that into a down B or two and that equates to your opponent getting messed the **** up. Didn't figure that out day one either. It was from playing this character as much as I have.

Or how about neutral B. I still am nowhere near mastered that, and there are a LOT more things I know I can do with it but just don't have the skill. Mostly aerial ****, using it to stun away. I can only pull that crap off sometimes.

I've even recently begun testing a new technique that I actually used a little in N64, and even though it doesn't translate perfectly, it works rather well, and can function well to catch the opponent offguard. I don't want to say what it is exactly, but I can only assume that most people haven't figured it out or they'd use it themselves.

All that, and I simply don't like how most characters handle. Some of them are alright, but I don't like having to learn a new moveset and how to use them.

Yeah I know his Samus, I pretty much have his Bowser and Link figured out. That Samus still gets me at many points haha.

His Bowser and Link are nothing compared to his Samus. But then again, other people could probably shield and dodge better than me, but then again, if they were that good at dodging they could probably beat Bowser too.

[dogdude84]

I really wanna play your pika sometime. You seem to be getting very creative in thinking up masterful ways to pwn thine enemy.

I kinda do the same with samus. Edge + down aerial = your doom.

EDIT: And yes Jordan I have some ideas
