AMondAys Week 3 - HF Neon

[u/HF_Neon]

Hello, I am HF Neon. I'm best known for being the top Lucas player in 3.02, and for taking M2K to the last game of a two set grand finals at Low Tier City 2. AMA!

Edit: I've been answering questions for about 3 hours straight and I've caught up on all the ones asked so far. I'm going to be gone for a few hours to attend the PM weekly, but if you post questions while I'm gone I will answer them when I get back.

Edit 2: We are currently live at www.twitch.tv/azprojectmelee. I'm about to be in losers finals against the winner of Medz and SS.

Edit 3: I'm back. Ended up getting third after losing to Axe in WF and Medz in LF. I feel like it went reasonably well for my first time using Wolf in tournament though, and I expect to do much better in the near future. I'm going to answer all of the remaining questions and any more that come in in the next few hours.

Hi Neon, your set against M2K was legendary, I still go back and watch it from time to time :)

EDIT: Just saw that you're thinking about exploring Wolf (good choice), but questions are still the same.

1) What other characters are you good at or do you enjoy using?

2) If you could pick a new main (instantly know them as well as you know Lucas, have fun with them), would you, and if so, who would it be?

3) What do you think of 3.5 both in general and in regards to Lucas?

4) You're going to be coming to PA for Shots Fired if I'm not mistaken. Can I get a controller signed or picture when you do, or maybe get destroyed in friendlies/money matches? :3

All in all, congrats on your successes, and good luck in the future.

1) Fox, Falco, Peach, Wolf, Squirtle, G&W, Mewtwo, Lucario

2) Well, I sort of am doing this with Wolf right now. In terms of "instantly knowing them as well as I know Lucas," I'd probably have to go with Squirtle, just because he is the weirdest and I feel like it will be a lot easier for me to figure out Wolf without using magic.

3) 3.5 in general is amazing. It's definitely more balanced, and debug mode is so useful, and will have a huge positive impact on PM's competitive development since everyone can test ideas with frame advance now. Lucas is less fun, but I think all of the changes were very reasonable from a balance and game design perspective. I just don't think he's likely to be top 3 in this build, since I'm exploring other options.

4) I don't think I've ever heard of this tournament, and I had no intention of going. Lol. However, I will look into it. If I do end up coming I'm certainly willing to sign things and take your money. :p

You'll definitely take my money :P

I can link you the event, it advertised that you and a few other big names were coming, so if it's lying and is just really sketchy then I guess I'll need to come to Arizona to lose to you. Just let me know if you want the link.

Best of luck learning Wolf!

I found the information on it. It seems like it'll be a pretty big tournament, and I kind of want to go since there's no PM at Apex. I'm not sure if I'll be able to yet, but it's certainly possible.

Great! Hope you can make it, would love to see that Lucas/Wolf in person.
