Lol guy you should say objection once in a while .WTF DOES THAT MEAN?
That many? Assuming it's single elimination, you're gonna have a hard time if you run into any lucky kids. Do you know anyone who's going?Facepalm? Maybe you should just stop sucking at Brawl? LAWL.
Just called the mall. My gamestop tourney has over 64 people already. Its terribly unorganized, and the store is tiny. If I lose and melt into the crowd I would eventually forgive myself, but it'd be a pretty tough process. Apparently I don't need a parent/guardian with me either, so maybe some people who are put off by that aspect should at least check with the store manager first.
The only people that care for an invasion are ***gots from the random board. The board that you often see being mentioned here /v/ just doesn't like the "HURRR, we are better than casuals because we know every facet of Smash. We're not the scrubs, but we're not willing to try things like new controls, want Brawl to be Melee with more characters, and think that Brawl will suck because it doesn't have wavedashing or other adv. techs. Talk about adapting to methods of play in Melee, but refuse to play Brawl if it doesn't match up exactly and we have to change how we play" members amongst you. (That's only a small part of it)I can't figure out why 4chan would think Smashboards would be a good target for invasion. I know they're the last word on internet culture in their own minds, but I don't really see the lulz around here.
Yea, I got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. Plenty of my friends are going, seeing as how they also changed the time to 8PM to allow more people. The list is definitely huge, and when I asked them if their was a limit they said they had no idea how many people they were going to have!That many? Assuming it's single elimination, you're gonna have a hard time if you run into any lucky kids. Do you know anyone who's going?
I think we should update the first post to tell people to call local Gamestops, seeing as this is so disorganized. I mean, if some stores aren't even playing Brawl there's some serious communication problems going on.
I wasn't telling casual players how to play. I wasn't telling them that their way of playing was wrong. What I was doing is telling people how casual players tended to play because some competitive players were worried about having to overcome learning a new game and facing them. I then told them basically how to play against them and listed out clearly things that would help them win given the incredibly ****ty rules this tournament has.It is, however, funny to see you take on a strictly defensive stance as opposed to your former "**** YO COUCH, CASUALS" attitude.
if they haven't already sold out via preorders, lolz. worst case scenario come March 9 is... shortagesSo in the end, everyone is wrong, Mookie has a habit of coming off sounding pretentious/elitist/many words I think but can't say due to the filter, and we all have a few chuckles and move on with our lives.
And hey, this tournament is going to be the ultimate in random. Maybe I'll get a guy who plays pro level Melee and has trained for weeks on an import Brawl.
Maybe I'll get a guy on par with me in skill.
Maybe I'll get a foe who doesn't even know you can use Up+B to recover.
This isn't a WHO IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD tournament at this stage. At this point, it's just a fun get together that happens to let Gamestop say "hey, you want to pick up Brawl? What, undecided? Come on down on Saturday night, we'll have a tournament just so you can play before you buy!"
Agreed on all points!So in the end, everyone is wrong, Mookie has a habit of coming off sounding pretentious/elitist/many words I think but can't say due to the filter, and we all have a few chuckles and move on with our lives.

I was more under the impression that Mookie was being awesome, and people became jealous is all.So in the end, everyone is wrong, Mookie has a habit of coming off sounding pretentious/elitist/many words I think but can't say due to the filter, and we all have a few chuckles and move on with our lives.
Whether it was him or not, doesn't really matter. Sometimes it's better to just let things go, which is what I think we need to do in this topic. If he hasn't been convinced by now, he won't be for a long long time, even if he was serious. It would probably be best to just drop the whole thing and get back to the original topic, assuming that's possible at this point. As if people haven't spent enough time typing WoTs for this.Just between you, myself, and the rest of /v/...
it really WAS trollbait, lawl. I just didn't want all of /v/ involved, and I really didn't post the ****ing thread.
It's more to do with how the message was delivered, not the message itself. I can't find the post, but there is one that is being posted quite a lot around /v/ that doesn't come across very well.Really I never think Mookie comes off as pretentious. He is extremely nice.
My gosh, all he says there is some ways that are easy to counter people who don't play smash at a competitive level. How is this pretentious in any way?
I am his friend? So I am fanboy now because of that. -.- Welcome to Brawl Boards I guess.And here comes the Mookie defense squad.
Isn't that the logical reaction to the Mookie hate squad?And here comes the Mookie defense squad.
People were bound to jump onto it.I was more under the impression that Mookie was being awesome, and people became jealous is all.
Then do as you normally would and ignore them.It shouldn't matter that I have friends that back me up. That is a non-issue. What matters is that my critics have yet to actually challenge the points I've made. Instead they criticize my character.
It isn't the strategies that you posted that are at fault. I'm sure they're pretty sound. Having not played Brawl myself or bothered to look into gameplay mechanics that much, I can't contest it anyway. It's the delivery of what you said in this post that people are bothered about:For that matter, I'd like anyone to debate the strategies I've put up in this thread for the tournament.
hey whoa ..i was just explaining how some of these kids could see you as elitistIsn't that the logical reaction to the Mookie hate squad?
Seriously, for all my critics, NONE of you have debated my points with me. I'd like to debate with you, but so far you just tell me that I'm elitist and pretentious.
For that matter, I'd like anyone to debate the strategies I've put up in this thread for the tournament. They are logical and based on advice given to me from multiple sources who have all played the game quite thoroughly. I'm positive that if you took some of my advice with you to your tournament that you will come out on top, ESPECIALLY my big spiel on observation. Hell, that would not only help in smash, but other competitive games as well.
This guy pretty much sums up my own feelings.I dunno. Just something about things you post sometimes just makes me want to put my fist through a computer monitor. Can't help it, Mook, somehow you just rub me the wrong way.
...Ugh.If you completely and totally shut them down early on, you have won the match. The moment you have instilled fear in them, you have won. Your goal should be to take complete and total control over the flow of the match. Once you make them feel as if they cannot do anything to you, they will break down and lose horrendously. This is the difference between a decent player and a good player.
While, at first I was going to stick with my Melee main thinking that being comfortable with the moveset would give me a advantage. However, seeing as how many characters have changed (not moveset wise but, more like attack properties wise), you might be just as well off using a newcomer.Back on topic guys.
Even though Dedede and Ike have great KO potential, wouldn't it be safer to just use a character that you are more familiar with? I know the logic behind your assumptions but I think that using a comfortable character is your best bet. Playing a comfortable character is a good way to avoid SDs and other character awkwardnesses. What do you think?
Last I checked this topic isn't about what you think of Mookie.
Really, if you view him as elitist, then you can... you know, not read his post (<-- revolutionary idea. I know, I'm a genius).
