Ahhh, that stage builder. I'll be on that more than the actual fighting. <3

Dunno about you, but when I win against someone in For Glory I stick with 'em, keep the winning streak going XD

That's my main issue with For Glory. I have faced the same person for more than an hour (then I feel like we're totally friends at that point), but the ones who leave after one game kill the experience.

Had the most epic finish in Classic mode. I'm playing Sonic and my fight is against a Giant Olimar.
It ended with me grabbing him and tossing him off the right, and he flies in a very graceful arc straight into Bulborb's open maw. *chomp* "GAME!"

Yup, removed from my birthday party list. Totally unfit to mingle with Crocs. Totally rude. Unwatched and blocked! Removing all favs too.
Also, I hope they release more dlc characters.

I can't enjoy this game. This is my favorite friggin' game and I'm not allowed to enjoy it. Why is it that I can do well at other multiplayer games, but not the one that I like the most??? I've played Smash Bros more than any other game, and I still SUCK at it. I've looked up guides, I've watched videos, I've practiced to death, and I'm still terrible. I can't deal with this. Even when I do win, I can't even be happy about it because I'm not winning enough relative to how much of my life I've wasted on this dumb game.

Wow, they're really outdoing themselves with the Stage Builder this time. Brawl's was fun and all, but this really removes all limits. I wonder if you can adjust the respawn points ... with the addition of danger surfaces (which instant-KO anyone over 100%) that means you can actually make totally enclosed arenas.

that's cause lots of poeple spend fuck tons of time on this game. but there are also a lot who spent it doing competitive things like going to tourneys and stuff. also when you lose you need to look at the things you could have done differently, though it's prolly better to save the replays and look at it a day later when you're not fresh from the match.
Also the fun in competition isn't winning and it's not a waste if you learn something new from the match about you, your character, youre oppenent, or anything else.

Maybe you have your priorities wrong? A lot of people who look up guides and pro tournament matches tend to turn into "textbook" fighters, meaning they focus too much on what works statistically and lose their ability to think outside of the box. This also makes them easier to read and defeat. It does pay to know which moves have priority over others, but this game isn't all about statistics.
I haven't fought you enough to judge your abilities, but having that mindset will do nothing to help yourself improve. You use Fox! Whatever happened to "Never give up! Trust your instincts!"? Try playing from a different angle every now and then and don't be afraid of switching up your fighting style when things aren't working out on your end. You'll be surprised by the moves you can pull off. I don't even consider myself a competitive player and I can give a vast majority of them a run for their money because of how unpredictable I can be at times.
I don't even care if I win or lose. Having made my opponents sweat bullets is good enough for me. That's all that should matter.

That's mostly the reason I dislike competitive play. Everything gets so serious and it takes the fun out of the game.
I enjoy playing really good players so I can learn what I can. I'm used to losing, but I only feel bad if I don't give a good enough fight. Don't let this turn into Mario Kart Rob. You just gotta play the game.

i sort of disagree but that's when competition is in irl tourneys. at that point it's more about learning what you can do and befriending others on your way to get better.
it's much more fun than just casually playing the game since you have a goal to always reach and the path is a fun one, though not always fun it's ultimatly a satisifying one and one worth it if you try.

I can respect that. I've not had the best experiences in tourneys, but I've learned to respect what goes down. At my college, there's a pretty good group of players that play SSB, and I enjoyed playing with them a lot. It helped me get a lot better too. I'm not very ambitious, but I do agree it can be satisfying trying to reach the top.

Actually, Croc's closest smash friends are all competitive, and I enjoy playing against people who can kick a Croc's ass. It makes me just wanna get even better.

yea there are some poeple who can be rude and sucky, and melee has quiet a lot of them especially when you're not playing melee >.>

Bam, kapow
Meleetists just got Alastair'd
I just came up with an idea for 8-player battle mode, though. It'd work so well to have everyone play as a different Koopaling, and Bowser Jr. can join too, I guess

I spend a fuck tons of time on this game. I do need to start saving replays. The person I went up against in the tournament (I still gotta work on the prize picture) recorded our match, and I noticed that I took little consideration into my opponent's playstyle. I've been working on that. So, I do learn from them.
I wouldn't say I'm a textbook fighter. I don't think that's really possible right now anyway, since there isn't a lot of information on individual match ups yet. I do need to work on breaking out of my own patterns. It doesn't help that I've been using Fox almost exclusively, although I still want to keep working on him. I haven't given up, I'm just really, really frustrated.
I'd like to say I don't care if I win or lose, but when I have a huge losing streak and people just keep leaving- despite their opportunity to rack up wins- it really gets my goat!
Oh, there is no way this ISN'T gonna turn into Mario Kart. I'm gonna run this game to the ground

So I decided I'd stop trying to main Lonk and try something a little bit different.
Just spent a good two hours getting used to Greninja. And bloody hell, he's so fast!
So much so that I had to start off by playing as him in Training Mode on 50% speed!

If you guys want to practice, I'm willing to be the punching bag. I like to think I'm proficient with most of the roster, so I can give some match-up practice.
Edit: Sorry Alastair and SirRob. The other guy wanted 1 v 1's, eheh.
