Going to my first real ssbm tourney this weekend. I've hosted a few tiny ones before by myself, but I had always pretty much known everyone who entered. This time, though, it's for real. Cash prizes for top places. Totally new faces. A 3 hour drive to get there.

I feel my play is pretty solid, just needs to be sped up a bit. I play as the rather uncommon IC, so I'll have a bit of an advantage, I think.

Ah, its not for another 3 days and I'm already nervous!

Why is it lame? Whenever I ask anyone who hates on wave dashing, they can't give a proper answer. Maybe because everyone around my area that plays Smash sucks.

yeah ppl that say wavedashing is lame are always noobs, dont mind them. IC are gay though, I lost to them at my last tourney, make sure you have a secondary in case someone picks rainbow cruise or pokefloats on you.

usually you get horrifically owned at your first tournament, i did when i went

depends on the quality of players in your area though, but most likely you will be destroyed haha

Just to work off of this, if you can't wavedash, perhaps you should just spectate this time around, ZaplinG xD

super smash bros melee

I am well aware of the tournament scene and feel I am capable enough to make the top 3 at any local tournaments.. Already, just on campus I am undisputably the #2 player (although I can beat the #1 about 40% of the time, and once I perfect wobbling, who knows?)

My main problem is that I just get super nervous in tournaments and don't play as aggressively as I need to t.t

I never said he couldn't either, I said IF. Meant no disrespect.

And ZaplinG, then it sounds like you got a good chance to show some skills ;D Good luck, tell us how it goes!

About nervousness, smoke a bowl (if you can still play well under that effect) or meditate or what not [: It helps me sometimes when I play Soul Calibur tourneys.

not sure what would happen if i smoked and tried to play an intense match. I feel as if I play much better high, but that might just be the weed talking.

I also have a couple counterpicks i could use if i needed. I have a decent Sheik/Peach/Dr.Mario

Right now I'm just clocking some major practice hours trying to get ready

Haha I know what you mean about feeling like you play better high. I get that with SC, and then I watch the autoreplays and realize I sometimes make nexuses instead of gateways around pylons and then wonder why they cost 400 minerals and don't make zealots. I was like "WTF is wrong with these expensive-ass gateways, only making shitty ass probes?!"

I don't know what to tell you then in terms of cooling off... Stress balls? Getting a good night's sleep beforehand? Just go in with the intention of having fun and not winning, and if you keep to that mentality I think you won't stress over mistakes that are bound to happen. Good luck once again.

Hey ZaplinG Good Luck at the tourny

I'm thinking it's a bit too late to sign up, considering it's in a few days.

Man I remember seeing somewhere a way to desync the IC so that one grabbed the enemy while the other smashed him downwards with its hammer, KO if they're near the edge :p
