Ok guys so it is sad to say but honestly after my huge hiatus from playing and commentating so much, I finally have managed to become immensely better and see exactly what I have done wrong for years.
It's really sad to see the simple mental blocks that made it nearly impossible for me to ever be considered a good player. I mean I am currently playing to an extent much higher than I used to play and all I can say is I wish I was able to do this earlier in my life.
It seems as if come APEX2014 that when I walk off from commentating Top 8 that this game will die......so I really do hope I get a chance to meet all of your guys before this game dies because honestly it's really weird being old enough to have seen a game bud, blossom, and die in front of me :/
Well I have no intention of leaving the community I was just expressing my fear is seeing it pass. The new found intelligence for the game is all thanks to commentary and being able to see how Top levels players constatntly break situations down and make hard reads. I appreciate the love Luis and I will deffinitly stick around now that I truely have seen that the community does care about what I am trying to bring to the table. Don't worry PT's you guys raised me and I just don't wanna say goodbye is all!The real "understanding" of little nuances that take you to the next level can happen at any time, really. I'm glad that it's come to you. That understanding can make one's own past play seem silly, but, that's just how it works sometimes, heh.
Perhaps some of that understanding can be applied for, like, Smash 4 or another fighter. I hope you don't plan to just drop out of the community altogether anytime soon, but, life can get in the way of that. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks and there was quite a dry spell of tournaments in the NY/NJ area for about 2 months after SKTAR, so I had to make it to this event. It was pretty damn exciting.I wish tournaments existed around me so I could bring back such a happy and exciting report, well done CT!
Does PT struggle vs Yoshi? Should have ***** it with Diddy lol.Hey guys I come back from Crossfire 3 with nothing but smiles!!!
I ended up doing better than expected and my level of knowledge + practice came shining through.
I managed to beat Gunblade's MK round 1 of bracket with PT! It was a very impressive win for me and was a hard achievement because in all honesty the match started to look grim. I managed to get a reverse shift U-smash kill on him first stock also!
Sad to say there wasn't much more PT action due to MU's and getting stuck as PT game 2 on FD against his marth left me to get 3 stocked! It was my own fault tho as I wasn't thrilled with the idea of MK on Frigate which is what I banned. He chose FD as his CP and diddy vs MK or D3 vs MK was not what I wanted. I gave him the 3 stock since I wanted to play game 3 so bad, which in turn helped a lot because I was able to CP castel seige with D3 against his marth. Needless to say sandbagging game 2 in such an easy MU for him deffinitly affected his play because an error on his part caused him to up-b with his back to the stage on the 3rd transition of CS as it tilted up. Gave me more than enough room to edgehog him and secure game 3.
It was a big win for me to take down an NJ MK who has trained with nairo and has been a tournament threat for a while.
Overall I went 2-2 and got 17th out of 45-50 people only losing to NAKAT + Raptor. I was pretty damn happy with my return performance and majorly for my win with PT. The character rotation for me now is PT, D3, and diddy all of which I won with on saturday.
I'm hyped to be back guys! Hopefully it doesn't take a week for one of y'all to see this!
PT vs. Yoshi is a pretty damn bad MU for PT due to grab releases on them all. Diddy Vs. Yoshi would have been better but raptor has practiced against a Diddy for some time along with generally getting way better at the game, while I had 0 yoshi practice especially with my diddy.Does PT struggle vs Yoshi? Should have ***** it with Diddy lol.
It's +2 Yoshi. And lol he did go Diddy. You seem to be under the impression that Diddy ***** Yoshi when the mu is really close to even.Does PT struggle vs Yoshi? Should have ***** it with Diddy lol.
Lol and activity from other top NY/NJ players! Makes me seem like some kind of celebrity or something haahahah JK.Good stuff Coontail
*thread activity <3*
yea PT vs Yoshi can be really frustrating for PT. The grab release shuts down squirtle(free guaranteed spike), and makes charizard play a lot more careful. Though ivysaur isnt effected by GR, he isnt that much trouble for Yoshi imo. Egg zoning is another thing that Yoshi has that helps against both Zard and Ivy.This thread never ceases to be a hub of socialization.
So I made it to that tourney that I mentioned in my above post, and though I didn't take any tourney matches, I took some games off people, and I won a lot of friendlies. My biggest problem honestly was nerves and the like (I had a scary amount of SDs) so I'm sure that will get better as I play against real people more. I'm pretty sure nobody there has ever played a PT before cause I was getting off bullet seeds left and right.
Special note, I've heard that Yoshi is a horrible matchup for PT. One of my matches was against a Yoshi and idk if it was me not knowing the matchup well enough, but it was soooo hard to do anything. I couldn't reliably get close with any of my 'mons without getting grabbed or swallowed up, whats up with that?
Parting note, I'll be going to another tourney this saturday that'll probably have most of the same people, so hopefully I'll have some visible improvement to note.
Thanks a lot man I always appreciate the kind words. If you're watching the APEX stream this year I'll be on the mic again!!@Coontail I was watching some Apex matches you commentate and you are a great commentator
