DBA 4 IS MAY 16TH IN DALLAS, TX!
This is looking like one of the most stacked events Texas has had to date! Larry Lurr (AKA DEHF) will be attending, as well as top players from all over Texas!

In addition to the singles and doubles tournament, there will be an Amiibo event! This is the first major Amiibo tournament DFW has seen, so if you want to put your amiibo to the test, this is the event for you!

There will also be bounties on top players; if you can take a game or set off DFW's top 4 or Larry, then you can win up to $50 of store credit to use at FX Game Exchange! Click here for more details

Sadly, that is what Smash will eventually become. Best character will eventually be which character has the best DEFENSIVE option to aproach.

Let's get rid of wavedashing and good dashdancing and make rolling THE viable approach option. Imagine if that were the case in other fighters.

Disgusting.

I'll be doing the 10PM one tonight and I might do the 6AM as well, but I definitely cant do the 3rd one.

I really hope they do this every weekend leading up to the release.
well see you online then. I'm also doing the 10pm one.

Demos are for NERDS.



Off topic but does anyone wanna go see the earlier showing of Jurassic World with me on June 11th? Like the 9 or 10pm showing?

*says demos are for nerds*

*proceeds to ask if people want to go to early access showings of movies designed specifically for nerds*

Early viewings are not designed for nerds. It's a way to help collect money earlier, report earnings faster and cause less stress on theaters.

Right, I'm sure there weren't any nerds at the Avengers 2 midnight showing.

Yup...none at all.

I'm sure the nerds were clamoring for 50 Shades of Grey and watch it THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY.

I only poke holes when Xyro says something dumb, then just watch him slowly crumble. It amuses me briefly.

Splatoon is fun, even with the motion controls pretty much forced in I had a blast. That hour went by super fast.

Sniping with a gyroscope is rough, I couldn't use that gun at all.

It was okay. Definitely turned off the motion-controls and probably need to play more to appreciate the game.

Didn't notice. Well in that case, this game is waaaaaaay better than it seemed. I might have to hop on the next beta.

@ Xyro77 Xyro77 Seeing movies before curfew sucks sometimes. I went to see TMNT around 8pm and those kids would not shut their damn mouths.

I'm calling it now. Paint rollers are OP. Ability to quickly spread ink and OHKO opponents without having to slow down (guns makes you slow down), with a backup mid range attack make it too good. Hopefully they nerf it somehow for the real game, because paint roller might be the new meta.

/theory based on 1 hour of gameplay

There is a way to counter them with shields and something else, but I didn't read too much because I still don't know what I'm doing, lol.

rollers are very powerful. I plan to main rollers,but it does have a few weaknesses.
shields
getting teamed on
snipers(which imo are top tier)
narrow hallways(great for rollers,but they get trapped too easily)

snipers are godlike. find the highest ground then aim slightly up.charge scope= more distance sprayed than rollers by a mile. plus bombs for closecombat. quick detonations, and their special is too op. good for getting rid of people you can't hit close, and clearing the area. not to mention so much turf gets gained.

Pretty much each weapon has a specific function depending on the mode, just like in any FPS.

That's funny, I was actually planning to main Snipers. I like that your aim can suck, but yet you can still a reward from it (lots of ink).

Unfortunately this does not bode well for Shooters. I mean Roller can cover near distances very well while Sniper can cover far distances very well. Shooters cover... mid range well? Seem like a balance between the two and might be better for 1 v 1.

I guess I'll be sniping you often RunCT, sorry in advance.
