Arkansas Smashers Chat

[arbustos]

We can record and use the matches to improve too. VTS and I were just watching ARK videos with Seif commentary, and he could do it (or anyone) to make it more interesting for others.

teams too

me, vts, chamberlin, ace, seif, yoshiman, ethan, g.vice, saber? twins sometimes

Assuming everyone goes, it would be 36 sets in a pool, so 2-3 hours. Whoever wants to be recorded can play on that setup.


Do you guys want to start fresh with everyone at the same score for the first one, or include the results of the ARKS, etc.?

 

[john!]

mmk so been thinking since no real tournaments for another 2-3 months why don't we start bi-weekly tournament at chamberlins on tuesday for power ranking using ELO system.

we can maybe throw in a dollar to make it seem like a real tournament.

this way we can all improve and see how we rank overall

and cus i wanna be the very beast that no one ever was!

to be gay and win all day!

is my only cause!

i will travel across the land!

searching for advice !

each opponents to understand the habits there inside!

nana it's you and me !

I know it's my fantasy !

popo, your my best friend!

in a tournament we must win!

nana charging a smash for you

our chaingrab will pull us through

you throw them and i'll smash them

poke'mon, gotta catch them all!

Spoiler

u mad

that was beautiful.

Full, yeah

We wanted to do a state-specific thing for the purpose of improving since everyone can beat everyone (sort of) instate.

Each biweekly is going to be a pool, but you can have those results if you want them.

*if anyone else is interested in the idea

It's happening Seif!

Great read.
I actually have a little bit to contribute to this though, as a Magic: The Gathering player.

In high levels of competitive play, we have something we call "Bruce"
OP touched on it, but I really, really enjoyed this article forever ago when I read it and it's not something I shall soon forget.
It's explained rather thoroughly in this article:

http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/misc/2005_Stuck_In_The_Middle_With_Bruce.html

(It's long, but read it, it will significantly improve your gaming mindset)
I should probably explain a few words from it so non-magic players can better understand the article
PTQ- Pro Tour Qualifier
mulligan- If you draw a bad hand in Magic, you can put it back and draw a new one at the cost of drawing one fewer cards. (Ex, you draw 7, hands sucks, mulligan, draw 6)
Two land hands- hands containing one land, two lands, zero lands, 6 lands, or 7 lands should nearly always be mulliganned.
Resolve- the actual definition of the word, just in the game
mana screwed- having too many or not enough lands in your hand or from your deck. Shouldn't happen if you just mulligan a bad hand, shouldn't happen if you don't Bruce.


tl;dr, read it. Read it. Seriously.

tl; still dr, Don't ever call Johns, or anything close to johns, even if your entire body begins to turn to sodium. And not just Johns, but you have to have a NEED to win to win.
The winner of a match is usually decided by who NEEDS to win more.


I've managed to kill some of my Bruce. I think it's hardest to keep him inside when you lose to someone you shouldn't have lost to due to variance (Which happens less in Melee than Magic but still) and you get really pissed off that you lost and then the next game I Bruce all over the place and I can't win anymore. Playing anymore games after that lost one means I've already lost. I have to justify my loss by rematching him and beating him.
BUHH ROOOOSE

Don't bring me down B-rrruce

Wait until Chibo uploads me and ADHD from Clash1. I went Aggro the entire time and did work, much better than I did while camping. I outplayed him a lot. Whenever I camp I just slowly lose the lead, but I know they are too scared to come near me when i stay by the ledge (in every smash game). ADHD used to **** me and then I studied Anti videos and other videos, memorized adhd's habits, and kept studying different ways to counter the common situatoins that he does. Now I am incredible vs diddy due to that effort, but it just gets blamed on metaknight by newbs, then adhd goes online and make blogs about how there's nothing he can do which is not the case because he NEVER MIXES UP WHAT HE DOES (forward air every time before landing, forward B recovery the same way every time, sit in shield forever so I can just drop bananas on his head, etc.). that matchup is as even as it gets on neutrals, but he won't put in the work I did. I used to think it was impossible for mk to beat diddy, so I kept putting in more work until I could win. Many people just give up now, then when they lose they go online and blame metaknight until they get enough posts by newbs to agree with them. I've said to get rid of rainbow and brinstar for over 2 years now but no one even tries to do that except Apex. Everyone just wants to benefit themselves and make the game easier for them. It's incredibly stupid. The worst part is most of the people that post here all the time do not give up until they whine enough to get their way. No matter how many times mk stays voted legal they just vote again until they get their way. It's one thing to host a mk banned tourney once in a while but not to make it a standard ruleset. of course you will get things like 75 25 when anti ban doesn't even take the poll that seriously, and many don't even vote (let alone keep telling their friends to vote). If you really think those are the true %ages then you guys are really stupid. Even if that was (which it certainly is not even close to that) that does not justify doing something like that. It is a spit in the face to every MK that worked to get to his skill level. There is no compromise there, it is just selfish desire for making the game easier for you all. Hide behind all the excuses you want, but there is no need to do something like that at all; you guys just want to rank higher yourselves

Something to think on for those with mental blocks against other players

 

[Yo$himan]

Replace bruce with yoshiman. :'(

 

[G. Vice]

There's nothing I can do. It's just a mental thing. I've already lost our next match.

 

[Yo$himan]

Thanks for posting that arby, I really need to read that. You all probably won't see me for a while, because I know have things I must do.

 

[arbustos]

[G. Vice]

That's a good idea, let me get on that.

FINALLY

[Yo$himan]

FINALLY

What if you dreamed of Inception?

 

[Vts]

What if you dreamed of Inception?

What if you dreamed of murdering someone and you made it so real that you tricked yourself into saying you killed someone?

or maybe make your dream so true that you want to stay in it forever since your making the dream?

 

[arbustos]

Of course you would go straight to murder. Twisted little boy!

 

[Yo$himan]

This card might be good in your deck seif?

 

[Vts]

This card might be good in your deck seif?

my golem deck is slowly coming together

might have to do some more changes but looking pretty nice

 

[Yo$himan]

You guys wanna see Lion King? This is the last weekend it's running.

It was my first movie in theaters, and nostalgia is calling.

/Ru

 

[Seifersythe]

Yes for Lion King.

No for that card. It's too defenseless. It'll just die in combat.

 

[memk]

who's smashing tomorrow? or is there another tournament this weekend?

 

[arbustos]

It's showing at 7 and 9:30 tonight and tomorrow at the Rave.

Just beat starfox 64 waiting on these guys. The pre-release wasn't even today It's probably my most played (def most beaten) game ever. I saw my life flash before my eyes!

Hey Seif, want to see it tonight? Will is playing a draft tourney, but he should be finished well before 9:30.

 

[memk]

if you're still planning to make "Devoured" then try this song since its doesn't really contain any dark feel to the song

I have the MP3 of this file as well just in case you don't want to buy it.

Holy cow Reddit. That's the funniest and most awful thing I heard all week.

speaking of things that affect penises, check out this combo vid, in particular the last combo done by ganon.

[The March Hare]

Quality was headache inducing. Still sat through all 10 minutes. Guess that says something.

Yeah it was weird quality, and I didn't care for the effects alot of the clips had. But as for the footage itself, it was truly impressive.

Chile is so creative and good at comboing. They should come to an AR smash fest
