I know this isn't a question but I just wanna say thank you for being a smash player. You're one of the players that really inspire me to play smash! :D
Sooo I've seen you multiple times at events and even played once against you. I was thinking of approaching you later for friendlies/autograph/MM but I had no idea how to approach you and what to say. Generally when one wants to ask you for friendlies/MM/Hangouts how should one do it?
You kick ass at Apex man. You have been practicing really hard, and I'll know you will kill it at beast. You try to be honest and real, but it sometimes blows up in your face. Just remember that constructive criticism is not just what you say but how you say it. It shouldn't matter, but it does.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks dude!
Truly one of my few inspirations buddy, keep your head up
<3
I get if you want to leave the community due to the nature of your position, it can't be too nice. But honestly as a spectator, having someone that isn't nice for the sake of being nice and says exactly what they're thinking, especially when they back it up, is super entertaining and I'll miss it
Thanks. It's just very rough to actually be the guy who says exactly what you're thinking, because it makes you extremely vulnerable and you lose A LOT off personal gain on it. A lot of people think I'm childish, mean, toxic, even people close to you as well as sponsors. I don't know if I can bother being that guy anymore, because while I often overextend, my efforts/sacrifices are largely dismissed as "just creating drama".
what are some tips for an aspiring top 5 trashtalker
Don't say things you're not willing to back up. That just makes you look like a fraud.
But are you EVER going to catch up in experience and playtime? Like you said they play Smash for a living.
Eh, just look at my improvment already. I'm not even trying to be biased, but look at my past records, lack of experience/playtime wasn't enough to keep me from jumping to top 5 in 2014. I don't even think I NEED to catch up in playtime or experience, I'll be the best soon anyway, it'd just be the cherry on top :>
what are you going to do with the money chillin is going to give to you at apex?
Favourite john that someone has used after beating them?
I prefer the silent salt stare above anything else tbh
I agree that maybe you could be top 3, but it's silly to say Mango and M2k wouldn't take a game off of you, they're very naturally talented while others worked really hard to compensate for that, if they played the same amount as you it wouldn't be as much of a slaughter as you would think :P
Well, let's see. Armada/M2K/Mango all started playing competitively in 05, 5 years before I even started. Then add the fact that they've attended far more tournaments and put in more hours even after I started, and they all play Smash for a living aswell. Then add the fact that I was banned for an entire year, and then close it out with how low level my practice partners are/have been.In my honest opinion, taking all that and then comparing our results, I think it's clear that it's going to be a god damn slaughter once I catch up in experience and playtime.
What do you think is what makes the five gods better than you. Experience? Talent? Practice? Mindgames? Tech Skill? A combination of everything?
A combination of a few small thing as the result of my severe lack of experience and time spent playing made 4 of them place better in 2014. If I had played half as much as any of the gods they wouldn't take a game. You'll see in 2015.
3 months ago you said black was your favorite color. 1 month ago you said Grey. Does I t change often? Which is the truth?
Both were true at the time. I just get bored easy, and colors don't evolve or change, so it becomes less interesting with time. I don't understand why this is seen as weird, I never put a ring on black ;]
You're awesome for giving people free subscribers on christmas! I could sadly not get one because i was away, but I still appreciate what you did! ;)
Tune in next time and I'll see what I can do :]
How often do you need to redye your hair? Do you just do it at home? I just want to know because I might want to have a hairstyle like yours and I'm worrying about how hard it would be to maintain.
I have never dyed my hair so yeah....
Who's your waifu/husbando?
Jennie/Pop
Is your hair the source of your amazing Melee play? :>
Maybe my awesome melee play is the source for my hair :]?
During your last match vs Ice in Melee, at the last stock, you were on the edge a few times and everytime opted not to ledgedash (you probably were considering its risk). Where do you still get the confidence to go for the final perfect ledgedash that you won you the tournament?
Because I didn't do it a couple of times, and because of the high pressure situation, I was certain that he thought that there was no way in hell I'd dare to do it.I knew I'd win if I succeeded, and I always refuse to believe that I can't win, so I just did it. Simple as that.
Unless it's gets officially banned there is no point. Lots of others know first hand of others doing it, and still don't call em out.
Do you suspect any top players might be using performance enhancers like adderall to perform better?
I know some top players people have used it in tournament honestly. There's not much you can do until TOs take it more seriously
Sorry to ask this again here, but I'm really wondering about what you would recommend practicing with Marth in the 20XX hack pack besides CGs. I agree with what you had to say about people who play him in comparison to e.g. Fox players, but sometimes I can't think of a good practice routine. Thanks!
It's really hard to explain with words, esp since I only have my phone right now. Tune in to my stream or just ask again later and I'll try to answer better!
how much would you take for a 3 matches replay coaching?
First one is free as long as I can stream it :]
Are the rumors true you take adderall/other drugs to perform well in tournaments?
What is your least favourite and most liked of the scandinavian countries EXCEPT sweden (Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and if u want u can count UK)?
...why can I count UK haha
How real are controller johns?
They're extremely fraudulent. If it matters that much to you, then you should have a spare. End of discussion.
Are you that naive to think Nintendo's sponsoring is really helping APEX? All they're doing is paying some money to get advertising. At no point have they really been vested in or supported the competitive community, they just know it's a good demographic to advertise to
This is why I want them to speak up about the supposed benefits. If they don't say anything, it's fair to assume that there barely are any
Why you main the most broken character when Mango would beat you with Falcon?
Hey my name isn't Hax
How do you you optimize your punish game in melee?
What are your thoughts on pm not being at apex and nintendo sponsoring the event?
I think that they should make it clear on just how much Nintendo's sponsoring is helping the event, and after that the community as a whole can make a decision on whether or not it's worth it. I don't mind PM not being there, personally, but yeah.
How good of a player in general do you think Jeapie is? How good compared to other captain falcon mains is he? Lastly, how much different is it playing the PAL version of melee compared to NTSC?
He's not very good. one trick pony player who relies on people adapting slowly, easily worse than the good falcon players in the US
