4th Smash Tourney - Battle of the Forums: CAG vs. Smogon (It's Essay Time, lol)

[quote name='dmunkee']I think I've been in the middle of a ROB sandwich between you two before. I can't remember, but I'll assume it wasn't a good time.[/quote]

Wow, I'm ... I'm so sorry, man. All those down-smashes, with metallic arms whirling everywhere. And gyros being thrown at you from both sides. And the lasers...

Actually, I think you might need therapy. I mean, you're already exhibiting signs of memory suppression (see bolded part of quote). :cry:
 
[quote name='BlueLobstah']Is Fallmoon going to be the only one to win?

I think we should just stick foltzie or Yukine in for the heck of it. :lol:[/quote]

And then I'd win, and you would feel really crappy.

You guys would be winning if I was in the tournament though, I'm a good luck charm. :cool:
 
Well I lost, he used a ROB identical to Evergoo, which means that I lost :lol: Makes me wish I played Goo a few times before this match but it wouldn't have mattered.

First match he won by 1, I thought I was doing ok this match.
Second he won by 2, I kept falling for the down smash.

I'm guessing their top 8 (maybe even more) are equal to our top 4 in skill. Sam is also a fellow CAG.

Uhhh... I'm too busy to write an essay making signatures for people. I hope Goo still dedicates a singstar song to me :lol:

edit:

All you damn Texans are too good at this game ;)

Damn, I want in on this too, if Yukine and foltzie get in on this Smogon tourney! My one win last tournament should qualify me for this. They may not know what to do see someone play as Samus - I might shock them into a loss.
 
[quote name='FallMoon']Whaaaaat?! How could we have lost?![/QUOTE]

You should rejoice FallMoon! Our loss will allow us to create a funny essay as well as allow me to dedicate some videos to them. Btw, I'll dedicate you one some time before the New Year begins. Save the best for last! :)

To Smogon Viewers: Don't look at this spoiler if you want to enjoy your surprise. Seriously, I'm not kidding.

Take: FAILWake Me Up Before You Go Go

P.S. That first video will eventually become private in case any of my students or their parents stumble upon it on YouTube. ;)
P.S.S. The entire wardrobe I wore belonged to my sisters...minus the underwear. :lol:

I could have sworn those underwear belonged to your sisters. ;)

Also, could you do this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9We6YMKPHA

Not catchy enough. :p

I have a better cartoon song in my next video. The Pokemaniacs will enjoy it.

I think it's a catchy song :cry:

I do catch your drift, though! I wonder who those "Pokemaniacs" are?!
 
Match starting in 10-20 mins.

Lets see how this goes.

Edit: Looks like my opponent fell asleep. Rescheduled to Christmas day.

Played a late night game with YoshiKing, can't believe we caught each other this late... decided to get our match done even though Smogon has apparently flogged us.

Match 1: Dyeknom (G&W) d. YoshiKing (2)
Stage: Final Destination


Match 2: Dyeknom (G&W) d. YoshiKing (2)
Stage: Smashville

Slight input lag on Smashville, oddly... didn't feel any on FD... but he's a good player, though. I'm sure if we had a blue connection (blue as in the color, not the olimar), then the matches would have been much, much closer. At any rate, any Yoshi player is always welcome to a party.

Actually, of all the match-ups, I figured that we'd definitely win with dyeknom. Because, really, G&W vs. Yoshi is a pretty lopsided match-up.

Anyway, nice job dye!
 
So I guess we don't need to write an essay, right? Because we just got three goo videos that make up 3 decent paragraphs.

Also, thanks for the b-day message, Strell. :p
 
So it looks like HotGarbage, my opponent, has uploaded our matches on YouTube. He only uploaded the 1st and 3rd because the 2nd was rape and not worth watching. :lol:

Before you watch them, I would just like to remind everyone that essay submissions are due by December 31 11:59 pm pst. Feel free to make your paragraph as cheeky as possible (Strell you know you wanna write one ;)). The essay will be 5 paragraphs long:

1) Introduction: Video #1
2) Body: Why CAG sucks/stinks/other pejorative word at Smash
3) Body: Why Smogon is awesome/great at Smash
4) Body: What ways can CAG improve in Smash
5) Conclusion: Video #2 (Pokemon Dedication)

Btw, I have not found an answer yet to floaty Peachs besides playing extremely defensive.
Game 1
Game 3
 
How does that bitch keep getting kidnapped when she can so easy take out an emo whiny game designer's petboy manly man?
 
They are quite good against players who are defensive//campy, because they are super aggressive players. I love hyper aggression :) Keeps people busy!

That's probably a major part of it. A majority of CAG smashers play very defensively.
 
wow at Snake vs. Peach matches. First obviously that guy doesn't know how to use snake. He abuses grenades, rolls right into peach aerials, didn't use enough aerial/tilts. I'm not "Pro" Brawler but I just want to give you some idea what you've done wrong in that match. And snake isn't a camper.
On the side note. How did you guys deal with the lag? o.o?
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']You weren't using Snake's utilt enough! That's how he beats Peaches![/QUOTE]

Well, he did get four kills with it. I noticed he goo used it a few times at earlier percentages but seemed to stop himself, I'm guessing because he was concerned with making the move too stale to kill. On a stage like Corneria though, it really doesn't matter much. The utilt kills on that stage at ridiculous percentages.

Abuses grenades? Snake's nades are one of the best parts of his game... he SHOULD abuse them. He wants to have a pin pulled at almost all times, especially when he can trade damage with someone light like Peach. Snake can and will survive at high percentages when Peach won't. Trading damage with a grenade neutralizes her approach and puts Snake in an easier position to kill. He used his tilts just fine. He spaced fairly well with ftilt, and he took off four stocks with utilt alone for fuck's sake. Oh, and Snake can be played extremely campy. All he has to do is throw grenades at a distance with C4 in between him and his opponent, and use a ftilt, utilt, or grab/tech chase when the opponent approaches. He doesn't have to be aggressive at all to win, although a good aggressive Snake can be tough as hell.

What Arikado said. :lol:

Furthermore, no one wants to run into Peach's kicks and the smartest way for me to play was with caution. Ftilts didn't work since she was too high above me, and I tried my best to abuse the utilts and grenades to distance myself away from her.

Besides, talk is cheap. Show me what you can do and we'll see who's playing who wrong.
 
hmm I would play you anytime =). And grenade sure is one of snake great weapon but using them the wrong way make them one of useless weapon. What is your FC goo? We can do some friendly match to learn from each other no need for hostile.

Hostility? Hmm...your first post suggests otherwise along with this post.

Anyways, don't be too quick to judge someone until you've actually played them. My FC is 4425-1135-4604.
 
[quote name='luan87us'] He abuses grenades, rolls right into peach aerials, didn't .... [/quote]

This is the only thing I will slightly agree with. As a whole, CAG rolls way too much. There are better, safer ways to space; rolls are simply too easy to punish in a lot of situations because it is what many players expect. Of course, that's not to say they shouldn't be used at all, but the majority of us abuse it.

Of course, rolling is a convenient way for Snake to lay grenades, so I'll cut Goo some slack. :bouncy: He didn't win the last tournament out of dumb luck; he knows a lot about the game. ;)
 
[quote name='zerowing']Where da essay at? :)[/QUOTE]

:rofl:

What hero said. That's it since no one bothered to write one and I don't want to be the only writer. Besides, it is 3 paragraphs long. ;)
 
Hey, I had a (semi) legitimate reason!

In either case, I'd be willling to write an essay, if you're willing to look away at the fact that I had to forfeit. It's because of that, I feel, that my essay wouldn't have as much "oomph" as I think it would have if I had lost the ol' fashioned way.
 
[quote name='zerowing']Where da essay at? :)[/QUOTE]

I was supposed to take you down.

Erm.

Punk.

But we never went to the OK Corral.
