How good do you think you are?

[cisco]

Im just wondering. How good in SSBB do you think you are from a range of 0-10
Also You can brag about what you've done in the game and stuff.



I think im prolly something from 6-8.
The best thing i've done is Beat All-Star mode on Intense difficulty with [of course] Pit lol.

[cowmoo83]

probably like a 7... I dont really know though... I havent played anyone noteworthy...

[Vott]

I am a 4.i am not that good.

[pokemasterSD]

From 7-9 I think...

[N0t2f34r]

I'm a sturdy 8. not extremely good but I can deal with the hard stuff.

[WestCoastNinja]

Ive played alot of the big names in ssbb and I think im definitly around 8.5 I can hold my own but im not good enough to consistantly beat the tough competion.

You're higher than that. I say 9 for you. I've watched your video's. You'd kick my butt.

[WestCoastNinja]

Oh thanks. =P

Thats not even my best performance either.

[pikaluva13]

I'd say about 5-6...i'm not all that good, but i can beat the story mode fairly easily...

[tyvaughn]

i say im a 7-8 im good but ive been beeten a lot

[Trombones13]

5...? I'm not very good at all... :P

[Gamegeezer]

6, i'm garbage now but still able to beat the average players. I just wish i could play some lagless sessions when no one else is using the computers in my house. Then i could really show off some silly flashy stuff.

[Sorgatani]

My skills in Brawl are strongly lacking :( I prefer not to embarrass myself by trying to battle online.

[LovelyStrife]

I would say that I am somewhere between a 2 and a 4. I don't take it seriously enough to be particulary good, or even average, and I use Jigglypuff and Kirby. Kirby does have some offensive capabilities, but Jigglypuff is so cute but tends to be beaten to bits when I play with other people. lol I do have fun with it, though, and that is what I bought the game for. :)

Tani, I don't battle online either. I used to do battles with people here but they were mean so I stopped. Honestly, it is one thing to beat me but quite another to curse and be a sore winner in the chat field.

[XD001]

7-9. Im not focused on defense that much.

[Whitdjinn]

If i were to practice, I could easily be a 2..maybe even a 3 if I tried real hard.

[chuckle490]

I haven't played much online but I have played quite a few good players at local tourneys. I'm probably a 7-9 .

[revelp8]

Im decent and that's all i gotta say. can't rate myself y'know?

[Whitdjinn]

Revelp8 is a 10!

Oh, at SSBB? No idea, but he's a stand-up guy!

LOL, im zelda/shiek weak :lol:

I hate players who spam that fireball and change char. stuff. :p

Must EV train my UU Diddy Kong!

[Death By Bronzong]

I find, personally, that brawl is a hard game to stand out at in skill, at least compared to melee. Advanced tech (wavedashing, teching, crouch-canceling, etc.) is gone, as are combos, effectively, since every character is so floaty.

That being said, a 5 or 6. I mostly play melee, because my friends mostly play melee, so I'm better at that.

P.S. What are all your mains? Do you agree with the tier list that meta knight and snake are by far the best characters?

ill tell you that Ike, Pit, and Zelda get really spammy with moves >.<

[Trombones13]

I favor Ike, Sonic, and lil' Pikachu. ^^

[Death By Bronzong]

Ike, despite seeming otherwise, is reasonably easy to dodge and counter. He is incredibly slow, as are his moves, and he has no jump or recovery. The key is to run around a lot and let him come to you. Counterpick stages that are expansive and require jumping, like rainbow cruise, and you'll do fine.

[N0t2f34r]

I use Luigi, he as a projectrile, is fast has a really effective airel move, and has an uber attack(fire jump punch)

I feel that falco can slaughter ike, and any stage, all you have to do is shoot, then use ->B and keep shooting as he tried to come after you.:lol:

Ike (or any character) can roll through falco's gun and other projectiles with L or R and a direction button.

Pika is my favorite Ike counter. Just run around, use neutral b, avoid being edge guarded by up b-ing right into the ledge (you grab on and won't get hit), and shield-grab a lot, then throw and try to combo, though all combos can actually be dodged with D.I.

I used pokemon trainer quite a bit, but I've never been online - just playing through the classic mode and some brawling with friends around here.

Follow-up question then. Which part of pokemon trainer is your favorite. Charizard is probably the best, but I like squirtle because he is reasonably agile and can be annoying.

[Whitdjinn]

In the non-competative battling I had done, I liked ivysaur's projectile the best, but found myself using squirtles 'aqua jet' looking thing quite a bit too. I found charizard to be rather bumbling.

My one problem with Ivysaur is grabbing a ledge with its vines with Z, as one can do with, say, link or samus. Either it's really hard or doesn't work. Charizard is bumbling.

Combos exist in brawl. But like you said, since most of the characters are floaty only some can be combo'd. Fast fallers can get combo'd by certain characters.

As for characters I play. I go with DDD most of the time. Kirby is my 2nd best. Im mediocre with my other characters but I love to use them. Those are Bowser, Wario, PT, and Falcon.

The only times I have seen brawl combos are when people have improperly D.I.'d (directional influence, in case anyone is wondering) away from the combo. I also read that there were no combos in brawl somewhere on smashboards, but they are mostly melee elitists (while I do like melee's gameplay better, brawl is still a valid game in my opinion), meaning the opinion might've been exaggerated bias.

I think Pit is being so mis-treated around Brawl. He's my fav character and I used him to get passed All-Star mode on Intense difficulty. His arrows make it fun to mess with my opponent, i hit an arrow at that speed, it hits him, damage and it gives me 2 seconds to go up to em and attack x]

My family calls me cheap for using that Pit strategy :p hehe

[Misa Misa]

I got first place in a 20 people tournament a while back, so I guess thatbut would make me a 10, but theres one person i can't beat even if my life depended on it (you know who you are! don't you laugh!!), so that makes me a 9 :lol:

An example of a true combo in brawl would be Kirby vs Fox.

Kirby grabs→ down throws→ regrabs→ down throws→ uptilts→ regrabs→ down throws finishing with one last uptilt. The last tilt can be followed by an aerial but thats not part of the true combo since it's possible to dodge. This im pretty sure is not escapable since I did this to a very good Fox player. Only works on Fox though since he falls so fast.

Fox can also combo alot of characters. Dair followed by uptilts. Dash followed by uptilts. Nothing as fancy as melee but still a combo.

Oh and chain grabs are combos to. No matter how little skill they take. ;P

[Gamegeezer]

Depends on the players and what they are capable of. Some things can combo while others can't, its hard to tell now a days, but most stuff doesn't work for more than 3 or 4 reps. Unless we talk chain grabs well then.........thats a whole different ball game. :lol:

Chain grabs do take skill, but I don't see them as combos. I prefer to make a distinction, though chain grabs certainly do exist in brawl (and are rampant), especially on fast fallers, just as they were in melee. I think combos do exist in brawl, though there are many fewer, they're harder to pull off, and they don't last as long.

Sooooo... Does that make me a 10? ;-)

[Gunshin]

Hmm, I'd rank myself at a 3, I'm really bad at Brawl, But then again, i don't even really play it that often XD

[Jawz3920939]

In terms of fighting real people, I can't say how good I am because the only time I've lost was once against Seth98 (you don't get bragging rights I was using random character) and once last year against a bunch of Freshman at my school who brought brawl the last day and were playing it on a projector, but that can't count because I am used to playing with a wiimote/nunchuck (don't be hatin' I can smash fast enough to make up for no tilt) and I had to use a gamecube controller BUT (and it's a big one) the kid who was using it (who I later found out is top 20 in washington state) has a really weird control pattern and L was changed to jump, which meant that I couldn't effectively dodge (I could but I kept screwing up).

Whew! that was a really long sentence with a lot of parentheses. lol

[WestCoastNinja]

I just beat the #2 ranked guy on Gamebattles. Im feeling pretty confident in my skil now. :woot:

[Gamegeezer]

I beat a lot of random people on smashboards, i feel like i'm a 7 now :) I wanna find out who's the best players there and beat them. Altho for some reason i had a hard time with a good kirby player the other day. Dunno why the lil puff ball is giving me a hard time, heck i beat pits all the time but why kirby @_@

[Death By Bronzong]

Awesome. My admiration for you has doubled. Now take down the #1 ranked guy!

[WestCoastNinja]

Now I just got beaten by a crappy Ike and a DK...That shouldent be happening to a DDD! :cry: Im the king of inconsistency.

Sall good man, we got our off days. You up for some rounds later tonight? I kinda wanna continue where we left off >.< Play some serious ones this time :cool:

[WestCoastNinja]

Yes sir. Hopefully my sis aint up all night on the pc. Always seems to lag when shes on.

Oh so you have a "trouble character" too? Mines is Wolf, don't know why, but I'm always fighting on the edge against a Wolf player. As far as 1-10 rating I'm slightly above average so I'll say 6-7.

[Gamegeezer]

Wolfs are tough competitors because his attacks are tricky and sometimes his moves hit more than once or he goes on the other side after an attack. It takes a little while to get used to but you'll get the hang of him. I think the main thing i got against kirby is his moves aren't dodge friendly, so thats whats killing me. I can't dodge then punish him like i normally do with everyone else. :mad:

Yeah I hope so, I'll take what you just said into account for next time. I think it's when Wolf is on the other side after an attack that messes me up. I either don't react fast enough or attack in the wrong direction.

Also, Wolf has good range on his F-smash, which is extremely annoying on smaller stages.
