Man, where I'm living is much nicer than the UALR Apartments. There is fresh air, amazing water, happy college students, low crime rate and I'm a block away from the high school I graduated from. Which means I'm really close to UARK campus.

 

[Seifersythe]

All the happy college students in the world won't fill the hole in your heart.

 

[arbustos]

That's a little bleak.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Yes, Head Over Heels is pretty amazing.

 

[Vts]

Yeah me and Arby been planning to team at this event for a while we got 25th at genesis I want top 20 at Apex for teams, our teamwork is amazing cus I molded him to be my teammate from day 1 my evil plan succeeded

 

[darkatma]

Have fun at apex guys! (Also do well!) Wish I could go haha

 

[The March Hare]

hey veets does saber know he needs to register today for apex? Cause I don't see him on list. <.<

 

[Yo$himan]

There has always been a hole there. Isn't that normal?

 

[arbustos]

Yes, Head Over Heels is pretty amazing.

Funny how time flies...

 

[SaberPrime]

Yes, registered and put you as teams.

 

[The March Hare]

edit: 308 melee entrants going to be great

actually now its 308, DaShizWiz can't go for jury duty

but that should be it

Know what's that like. Jury duty sucks. I had that crap for 2 years straight. The year I turned 19 and the year I turned 20. Random chance my ***.

 

[Yo$himan]

Have you guys started purchasing your teir 1 armor yet?

 

[The March Hare]

i've started on tier 2 . Forget the tier 1 crap. That stuff sucks for pvp and is annoying to get in the pvp phase.

 

[Vts]

I hate being sick wtf , hope in better by Apex

 

[arbustos]

Have you guys seen Tintin, and do you want to?

Seif, there's a pun in Sherlock Holmes I think you'd enjoy, if you haven't already seen it.


I'm baaack

 

[The March Hare]

about time, no i haven't seen tintin, I did before it came out but it hasn't gotten great reviews. I'd be willing to watch but I have no extreme desire.

DC time?

 

[Yo$himan]

ok arby, you said you were back but we're not seeing you...

 

[Vts]

He's busy getting ready for apex, or i hope so lol

 

[arbustos]

good sleep woooo

I guess I'll play DC after I eat and stuff

@Vts: What's a melee

Fox does have a pretty high tech requirement but i don't think its physically impossible to perform at that level.

Fox has one of the best, if not the best, neutral movement/positioning in the game. More than any character in the game, fox has the ability to take any character from 0 to death if you make the right decisions. Falco is very good and obviously #2 but fox is better. In other words, the tier list isn't wrong; the best falco players are better (read: more consistent) than the best fox players.

Everything is truth!

 

[The March Hare]

Wait. His argument isn't very strong. It's entirely based on his unproven statement that more so than any other character in the game, Fox has the ability to take any character from 0 to death IF you make the right decisions. This is true for any high tier. So he needs to prove this MORE SO of his. Than he goes to state purely from that argument that "fox is better."

 

[arbustos]

Fox's speed and complementary moveset make 0-deaths more feasible on a wider range of characters. Maintain positional advantage and hit them over and over. Anyway, the bolded part is far more important. This cannot be denied unless you're a subscriber to the Falcopuffs Dominance Theory >.>

I think Fox has it better because Falco relies on a more directly counterable action (lasers). Puff's movement is more static than Fox's, and she is far weaker to the obvious counters (e.g. attacking from a different height). I don't think the neutral game can be simplified like that against Fox at all, aside from basic footsies against bad approaches a la M2k.

 

[Strong Badam]

fox doesn't really 0-death (except against spacies in some cases, or shine gimps), i think his strength lies in the neutral game. getting first hits, doing 2 or 3 hit combos then resetting to neutral. he's just that good at not getting hit that he doesn't have to do a death combo to stay ahead even though everyone else can hit him then kill him.

I edited -> "Maintain positional advantage and hit them over and over." He's pretty good at that.

I don't mean ztd like straight combo or anything.


yeah, pretty much what you just said

 

[Strong Badam]

I agree, yes he can def apply pressure via positional advantage to get illegitimate but nonetheless effective strings of hits. Even if an opponent is out of hitstun, he doesn't always have enough options to escape.

 

[Wretched]

Really. I usually get out of hitstun with any character I'm using, but fox always has positional advantage.

 

[G. Vice]

Haven't been on in a while...but happy late birthday Arby.

And we should smash some to prep you for all the Ganon's you'll have to play at Apex

 

[arbustos]

Adam is getting here at 7 AM tomorrow, so you ragamuffins should come and play either one or both of the next two days. We need training like a monkey needs a banana.

LOL turns out my big fat cat is a ragamuffin. It also describes someone with messy hair #themoreyouknow

 

[The March Hare]

I need training like a monkey needs an iq higher than a 3 year old.

 

[arbustos]

reeeal good like

 

[Yo$himan]

The Ragamuffin is a breed of domestic cat that first made its appearance in 1994. Ragamuffins are notable for their friendly personalities and thick, rabbitlike fur.

Bull ****!

 

[arbustos]

Yeah, that's the only catch. The physical appearance is undeniable though.

Probably a mutt derivative... or maybe he's just weird :D

This cat is ugly as balls compared to mine, but the similarity is there.

I don't know sounds right to me.
