Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
I just had to share this epic match we had at the MN state tournament.It was teams -- Austin vs. Noobs (cities). The Austin team included Ring Wraith (Wolf) and myself (Marth) and the Noobs (Cities) were comprised of JSB (Snake) and The Unforgiving (The Green Italian). Austin starts out slow, we each had 100 damage whereas the cities had about 30 damage each. Ring Wraith was the first one to die and I followed shortly after. We were had a massive deficit, we were being destroyed while they laughed. We started making a small comeback, and I was angering them. I was constantly being hit back and forth, almost dying but always dodging their gimp attempts and surviving. They didn't KO me till 200%+ damage. They proved too much for my nooby partner. We were able to KO each player from the cities once, but Ring Wraith lost his last life shortly after. The combined efforts of JSB and Unforgiving easily KO'd me, and things looked dim for the great city of Austin. So, at this point the game looks like thisAustin TeamMyself - Marth - 2 Lives Left, apprx 30% damage.Ring Wraith - Wolf - 0 Lives LeftCities TeamJSB - Snake - 2 Lives Left, apprx 80 damageUnforgiving - luigi - 2 Lives Left - apprx 80 damage.I was able to gimp JSB after a small aerial combo which brought him down to one life, but his partner still was tagging on damage. Here is where it gets epic: I'm hanging on the ledge, and the cities team is trying to keep me off the stage. I have trouble getting on, but I manage with some fancy finger work (but I still stay near the edge, it was my only chance). I'm able to KO Luigi once at this time, so each of us have 1 life. I'm at about 70% damage, they're both under 15% damage. JSB messes up his spacing so I'm able to grab him and throw him over. He attempts to recover, BUT I LAND A PERFECT METEOR SMASH WHICH HE COULD NOT RECOVER FROM; HE DIED AT AROUND 20% DAMAGE.This leaves this a 1v1 match, my 70% damage Marth vs. Unforgiving's Low percent damage Luigi1. I'm able to pull off some fair aerials, and I keep him off the stage. I didn't really try to gimp him, I was simply racking up damage. It seemed he had trouble hitting me, so my plan seemed to be working. The gap was closing, I was at maybe 150% damage and he was at about 130%. I start up another combo, beginning it with an upward throw followed by a side aerial that knocks him quite a bit off the stage. I jump off the stage to try and gimp him, but I press the wrong button and he was able to recover (If I hit it, chances are he would have died). The ending isn't as exciting -- I miss a smash attack so he gets one in and kills me.I think team Austin did pretty good considering I haven't played Brawl in 6 months or so and Ring Wraith is a total noob who is terrible at Brawl and died faster than a level 3 computer would have, it is his fault I lost2 has only been playing for a month.1We played 1v1 earlier in the day and he destroyed me. Instead of doing the honorable thing and claiming he was better, I'm going to blame it on the stage. I NEED Marth's aerials and I had trouble short hopping on Final Destination. I made a schweet comeback on my favorite stage, Battlefield. I think I could own him on battle field, but defiantly not FD until I get my skillz back up (I haven't played for about 6 months.... so I wasn't very good)2Haha, just kidding. Your ATLEAST a level 5 computer.On an unrelated side note: Go Austin. Scott rep-re-sen-TED. On a related note: GET READY FOR REGIONALS. I WILL FIND MY COPY OF BRAWL AND PRACTICE MY EPIC 7 HIT THROW-AERIAL-GROUND-AERIAL COMBO I USE TO HAVE MASTERED.
I was the luigi in the game. You've got to be kidding me; AT LEAST A LEVEL 5?? Frankly, that's ridiculous. And the stage shouldn't matter; if your aerials are so good, you should be able to own on whatever stage. But still, Luigi's aerials are so much better. I'm pretty sure you can't beat me, with your long-lost skills or not.

You made the match seem like you were better and that our winning was a fluke; it wasn't so. I lightened up a bit later on, but when it got a little more tense, i tensed up as well. I had 4 out of 6 kills; i wasn't really worried.
yeah wolf is just garb.trust me. all of the characters above Luigi deserve to be up there. i think Falco should be a bit lower.
When did I ever say Sonic was better?My character is garbage, and I have no problem admitting that. He's too high on the list as it is. He should've stayed low tier.Though, I will agree that Wolf has his pros in FFAs./
Lets say a pro is having a match with 3 good regular players (who are on a team). Chances are 1 player on the team will get atleast 2 KO's, but the pro player most likely will only get one because 3 people can easily overpower one. Does that mean the regular player is better than the pro?

Does that mean the regular player is better than the pro?I'm pretty sure that this is false. The pro player would have way more kills, but he would lose in the end. Actually... if you're playing time, the pro would almost always win, imo.

But still, Luigi's aerials are so much better. I'm pretty sure you can't beat me, with your long-lost skills or not. There are two points I want to make on this quote. 1.) If you noticed, I was having trouble short hopping because I haven't played forever. That forced my Marth to fight on the ground while you were on the stage, which means I wasn't able to KO you until 200%+ damage. Battlefield let me use my aerials because of the playforms, and I got more KO's than you did there. Even when it was 2v1 I got 3 KO's (and the 4th could have gone either way) before you could get 1. Yep, you defiantly won that.2.) The "I'm pretty sure you can't beat me" is both stupid, wrong, and uncalled for. It is stupid due to the fact that isinuates (I spelled that wrong I bet. I'm on a slow computer that won't let me open a spell check and this computer doesn't have firefox) that once someone beats a player, said winner is always better. Which means Ken is ALWAYS going to be the best on melee and PC Chris is ALWAYS going to be the best brawler. It is wrong because, to be honest, you got destroyed when I was able to use my aerial attacks. If you noticed, my aerial gameplay dominated yours (I'm not trying to offend you, but you landed maybe 5 hits in the air. You missed every gimp attempt).

I lightened up a bit later on, but when it got a little more tense, i tensed up as well. I had 4 out of 6 kills; i wasn't really worried. I simply described the match from my memory. I'm not trying to be arrogant or increase my already massive narcisistic personality, but the fact is I got 4 KO's and Ring Wraith got 1. Most of all, KO's aren't a fair measurement of skill. Lets say a pro is having a match with 3 good regular players (who are on a team). Chances are 1 player on the team will get atleast 2 KO's, but the pro player most likely will only get one because 3 people can easily overpower one. Does that mean the regular player is better than the pro?I guess I'll leave this thread now. I don't want to start a flame war.I know this reply seemed like I was trying to start one, but I was simply wanting to defend my points.
Wow, I really hope your not serious with your arrogance, Unforgivable. 0_o
Don't worry; i'm not mad. Staying in the post won't cause a flame war; TheCatinTheHat and i had a good debate. You should stay in the thread. Sorry if i came off wrong with the "I'm pretty sure...".
