About Me
About me: I am a thin, sickly little man who spends most of his free time sitting next to a computer reading destructoid, digg, and whatever other site where I can find things to do to avoid doing anything important. When I am not waqsting my life away next to a monitor (which is what I do in class as well), I enjoy skateboarding, playing guitar, mixing phat beats on my turntables (they actually aren't that phat), the occasional round of fapping, and of course, gaming. Also, cocks. Wait, that probably wasn't the right place to put that. Oh well.

Consoles I own (or have ever owned): Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gba fat, DS fat, PSP, SNES, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox360, Wii

God, why do I suck so much?
Nad Crusher | 1:37 PM on 03.21.2008 14 comments


I've said it before and I'll say it again, I suck at video games. Now, maybe to a more casual gamer, I wouldn't suck as bad, and probably pretty decent. But, for the amount of games and time spent gaming that I have done, I am horrible.

2 weeks ago, as pretty much every person within the nearest 7 universes did, I bought brawl. I sucked at melee (what a surprise), but I actually started to get pretty good with this new game. I practiced alot and started to do pretty well online with Ike. I actually got good enough that I thought I could qualify the game as one of the few I did not suck at. That was until yesterday.

I have a friend who, while not really a casual gamer per-say, is definetly not hardcore. He'll play the latest FPS's or sports games, but he does not venture very far out of his gameiverse (this is now officially a word). So when he came over to hang out, I thought I'd show him Brawl and impress him with my dazzling skills. I did everything I could to make him as bad as possible: I gave him the wiimote without nunchuck for controls, I had him play as Kirby, he hadn't even ever played the fucking game before. Yet, through sheer button mashery, he beat me 16 OUT OF 20 TIMES!!! After throwing him out of my house in a fit of rage I decided that there were only three things that I could do. One, obviously was to commit suicide. This however, was not a convenient option as I had to study for a history exam. The next option was to give up video games and spend my life as a nomad wondering the country looking for food, but I'm not a big fan of walking long distances. So, I went with my third option which was to whine about it in a C-blog.


What an asshole

Learn characters attack patterns and learn how to dodge them or counter them. Then you should be able to beat anybody who's just button mashing.

Awesome. I know what you mean. Brawl is fitted for any character to win.. I can't find who's the better character.

Personally, The reason Brawl can piss me off in the sense that, some characters have an advantage against other characters thats just how it is. Olimar (my best character) is very weak vs Ike he can go through my Pikmin and knock me out at 60 percent (olimar has very weak defense) Kirby might just be bad ass against Ike and if thats the case you might just have to be that much better to beat him even if he is a newb. Most characters can beat other characters but every character has 1-3 characters that just have a big advantage thats just how it is.

How you can lose to Kirby with ike is beyond me.

Ike's massive power should have been able to ko kirby in the 100% ish range.

Mistake number 1 was letting him play Kirby. Kirby is one of the strongest characters in Brawl. Most characters are about even, but some just stand out and Kirby is one. I'd say just keep at it, the more you play the more patterns you learn. A big thing to winning in Brawl is either mitigating or dodging damage. Learn how to Shield roll, and keep your opponents at a distance when you are vulnerable. Never leave yourself open to attack, go into training and just play around with the moves and see how long it takes for you to be able to do another move. Generally you want to use quick moves with little in-between time for building percentage and then you can leave yourself open more often to get the KO.

Just use R.O.B. and flail around and mash buttons, you'll do fine.

For one thing, you need practice. Start branching out with other characters to see who could be a second choice. On the gamecube version, I would almost always be either Fox or Ganondorf (or Jigglypuff just to piss people off) but I would make that decision based on who they picked. My rule of thumb was to pick the opposite of what they did, i.e. they picked a slow character I picked a fast one, they picked a light character (kirby) I picked a big cock-knocker who could knock him out in 1 or 2 big hits (DK, Ganondorf, Bowser, now King Dedede). But above all, PLAY MOAR!!!

Also, what's your history exam on?
