munkus and anomaly

munkus and anomaly are the main two people in Tuscaloosa that I get a chance to play smash with nowadays. my roomate and my other friends don't like playing with me anymore. I dont know if its because I always win or what. Thief lives in Tuscaloosa right now too, but he's hard to get in touch with, and I think he works a hell of a lot too.
They're decent at the game. I can beat anomaly usually when I put my mind to it, although with some characters he's able to counter me. Munkus usually beats both of us, partially because he plays Mewtwo and Jigglypuff, two unorthodox characters that not many people know how to fight. Munkus is the type of guy that can really capitalize on your mistakes. He makes alot of mistakes himself, but my reflexes are too poor to react in time. Like for example he grabs a whoooooole lot. and he also rolls way too much. But he wins against us at least, so I'll have to learn how to counter it.
Thief is having another tournament on Nov. 10, so I'm excited about this. I always think I'm ready, because I always learn something new everytime I play. I've just got to keep my cool and play smart, and get warmed up. At Smash Aid, I barely warmed up before I played the tournament, and that really hurt me. I'm gonna try to play a lot of friendlies before hand.

Other than that, the tournament forecast for the Southeast looks a little dim. Most of the tournaments happen in Florida right now, that's just too far away. I don't have a car anyway, so I'm forced to see if anomaly will take me to one, or if moogle and the rest of the huntsville crew will pick me up from B'ham.
Hopefully Thief's Tuscaloosa tournaments are plentiful.

Thief's Last Tournament (i.e his third one)
Only around 16 people showed up to Thief's third tournament, mostly because he annouced it like two weeks before. Shai Hulud, 3GOD, and NES N00B showed up. NES N00b is really good; I teamed with him and got third place in teams. Needless to say, he did most of the work, although I did my part I suppose. We won 5 dollars a piece :-D. I beat 3GOD in a set, and I felt proud because that was pretty much the first semi-competent player I've beaten in a set. Shai Hulud beat me later in the tournament (put me in the loser's bracket I believe), but I want to play him again, I might try my Roy against his Fox. His play style is really aggressive and flashy, he doesn't really employ very many tricks or deceptive strategy. He's got near-flawless technical skill, just not the mindgames to supplement it. I think he could be a great player in the future if he keeps at it. I played anomaly in pools and lost. His Sheik had always given me problems, and he beat my marth with his sheik (I think i can handle his sheik now, but too little too late, till next time!)...I counterpicked Mute City, cuz that's my new Sheik counter pick stage, because I lose to Sheiks sometimes because I have trouble keeping them off the edge. So eliminate the edge! Anyway, he switched to marth, and that disoriented me, and I self-destructed twice I think. I'll get him next time :)
His brother Cheap (yeah, him again) beat me with his peach once again. I tried another weird counterpick; taking him to Green Greens and playing Fox, and was doing good when I kept him in the middle of the stage, but eventually he caught on and camped near the edge, and he eventually beat me. So I'm 0-3 against Cheap in Tournaments. He's actually pretty good, he did good in pools (although he didn't get out) at G4S4.

I want to be good with Captain Falcon.

Improvement Thoughts
I'm trying to learn to play all the characters (Except Yoshi, DK, and Kirby), and I notice that I'm really no good with anyone except my mains (Marth, Doc, IC's, andRoy)...at first this didn't make any sense to me, but now I think I know why. Its because I follow Isai's advice (Don't Get Hit) with my mains, and for some reason I dont with everyone else. So I'll try to work on that and report back.
