Will Melee be there? I'm going either way, though it'd be nice if we could set up a station or two for Melee friendlies. I can probably bring enough for a station myself if it's needed/allowed. Oh, and I might be able to bring a few people (3 or 4 others at the most), though I'll probably...

I'm having a bit of trouble with the directions. I can find the mentioned McDonald's, Morgan Rd, and Aristocrat on both MapQuest and Google Maps, though beyond that I'm stuck. I can't find Point Gray or Saraya on either. If anyone could help me out here it'd be greatly appreciated.

I'll bring a cube and a copy of Melee if I make it. I might also be able to bring a Wii/Brawl Copy if it's needed, though it's a pain disconnecting my Wii from the TV it's hooked up to due to hard-to-reach wires/outlets and whatnot.

I'd partner up with you, though I wouldn't consider myself great at Brawl and I'm inconsistent when it comes to actually making these tournaments due to the fact that I live relatively far away. In other words, it's probably best if you continue to look for a partner, though if you need one I...

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it last time (obviously), and I guess I should apologize to the one or two of you who may have cared. Anyway, I should be able to make it this time; that is, if nothing comes up (and nothing should this time). I should also be able to bring a Wii/TV as...

I should be able to make this now that the tournament's been postponed and I might be able to bring a Wii/TV along with a Brawl copy. Oh, and I might be bringing four others (maximum), though I haven't gotten any feedback from them yet.

Unfortunately, your entire argument is on the basis that Nintendo wants to draw in more competitive/hardcore players or wants to create a competitive game (or something along those lines), which is at best a baseless assumption. There is even evidence to suggest the opposite here in the Iwata...

Because wavedashing (and other advanced techs that were removed) added a whole lot of depth to the game and generally sped up gameplay. Plus, very few of these techniques if any at all were naturally advantageous alone, so they did no harm to anyone. For the techniques to be of any use at all...

I believe every time you activate a dash you have a certain chance/probability of tripping. In other words, it's random. It seems like the developers method of preventing dash-dashing/fox-trotting. If you dash-dance or fox-trot, you're activating your dash a whole lot more often than normal...

The combo that has worked the best for me as Meta Knight is the U-Air/Up-B combo. It's extremely simple, but like I said, it works. Against almost any character at almost any percentage, you can string together a fair amount of U-airs and finish the combo with an Up-B. The Up-B will normally...

It'd be nice if you could spell it out for me actually, because I'm not following. It might only be because it's fairly late over here or something, though I don't quite understand where you're coming from.

First of all, great post/thread. With the influx of what seems to be a large number of casual smashers to this forum, I'm hoping this thread will help clarify a few questions that they may have regarding the competitive scene and maybe prevent a few ignorant threads here and there. Oh, and...

First off (and this is unrelated to the casual vs competitive argument), this thread does not deserve to be stickied. Yes, the article you referenced does make a couple of good points and is incredibly well-written, but it's not only been referenced countless times in the past but it only...

I'm going to try to attend the San Francisco tournament. I live only about an hour away, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm just hoping MLG rules are going to be in place, especially seeing as it's single elimination.

I might be able to bring a TV. Maybe. And Hydro Kirby, I might've been able to give you a ride if it were not for the fact that San Ramon's a ways away from Saratoga, and my car may be filled as it is.
