Sheik, though I'm one of the veeeery few Sheik players around. I believe the only other Sheik is S00n/PurpleToaster, and that's it.

I should have known, only a sheik can talk that kinda crap

Hey, so, whats the next Sm4sh tournament in Dublin? I want to enter my first tournament already. (And naturally win and beat everyone and then go on to win Evo and Apex and then wake up from my dream when I was in my match and the TV fell on me.)


If you didn't understand what was going on in that thing I just said, then congratulations, you inderstand it as well as me.

Next Dublin Sm4sh tournament is R2CT Dublin. It's on this Saturday at the XGC. Should start at 1pm.
The facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/781066138674070/

The signup page: http://rsie.challonge.com/tournaments/signup/8mMruXF2sE

EDIT: I'm too slow.

 

[Skarfelt]

Yours had more details *shrug*

 

[snook]

AWW YEEE HYPE
Kinda hope it doesnt last too long though, lots of entrants.

I dont wanna miss watching the finals, got a bus at 7 to catch

 

[Moydow]

Yeah, hopefully we don't have a repeat of Galway's four hour wait for the finals. Last train out of Dublin leaves at 7 or 7.25, so I'd have to be leaving the venue a little after 6 (depends how long it takes to walk from there to Connolly station).

 

[EndlessRain]

10-15 minute walk to Connolly. I walk fast though.

 

[Skarfelt]

They seem to think Smash will be over at 6. We just gotta rifle through it to try and get Smash on stream.

Your too slow!

 

[Moydow]

There are weeklies in the XGC now on Saturdays (presumably excluding this week). Other than that, the next one is probably Celtic Throwdown itself in September, I think

 

[Skarfelt]

There's Breaking Boundaries on the 1st of August:

[snook]

Who do you main??

 

[ArikadoSD]

Who do you main??

gonna go ahead and guess captain falcon.

 

[snook]

Leaning towards my old brawl main lately, may not show the falcon tomorrow. Really havent been feeling good with him lately. Havent touched them in a while so if I decide to choose 'em, hope I play on point.

 

[NoviceSmasher]

gonna go ahead and guess captain falcon.

Lol you wish, i main pit, sheiks only mildly troubling mu, imo

 

[ArikadoSD]

Lol you wish, i main pit, sheiks only mildly troubling mu, imo

no I meant I'm gonna guess snook mains captain falcon because that's what he set his wiiu main as, also that's what i think his character is noted down on the ireland PR.

 

[NoviceSmasher]

no I meant I'm gonna guess snook mains captain falcon because that's what he set his wiiu main as, also that's what i think his character is noted down on the ireland PR.

Oh sorry, what you think of pit sheik mu anyway?

 

[ArikadoSD]

Oh sorry, what you think of pit sheik mu anyway?

np haha

I think it's 55:45 (sheik's favour) or 50:50. Pit having multiple jumps means it's not easy for Sheik to punish landings the same way she does to any characters with 2 jumps only, and Pit has some cool combos he can do on Sheik with his dair and bair, in addition to Pit's side b and kill power in general being pretty cool. What makes it not cool for Pit though is that he has to rely on multiple jumps + DIing away to escape Fair chains. I also believe Pit > Dark Pit in this MU because Pit's side b is harder to DI and sends you straight up, and the arrows being better is good against her too.

 

[Skarfelt]

Thanks to everyone who came to the Road to Celtic Throwdown: Dublin today! It was the biggest Smash 4 event in Ireland so far with a whopping 30 entrants. Top 5 was recorded and should hopefully go online soon.

~ANYONE BRINGING SETUPS OR GETTING HOUSING PLEASE READ~

Okay guys, there's not much more room for extra signups at Breaking Boundaries so if you know anyone who's wanting to go who still needs to sign up, remind them!

http://goo.gl/forms/IGX4sIVRh1

MUCH more importantly, the brilliant Akira BLUE is doing the best damn prize I've ever seen. Take a look below! The winner of each event will win a Fox... except Smash 4 doubles. Sorry about that! Besides, maXy and EOE will win anyway and maXy doesn't want a smelly Fox... and Mint/Way will win every other event for the rest of the Foxes =D

Anyone bringing setups, please message me with what you can possibly bring so we can prioritise. If I have like 15 Melee setups on the way but no Smash 4 setups, you're probably better off bringing a Wii U for the day rather than a Gamecube, y'know? I'd also like clarification on whether your setup is a Wii that can run both or one of each and so on.

Anyone staying with me - I've booked a taxibus to get back to mine after the event for 11:30pm. There'll be friendlies there all day and I'm sorry if you don't want to stay that long but I'm afraid I kind of have to stay 'till the end. We'll divide up how much it costs for everyone at the time but it shouldn't be any more than £5. Also, please please PLEASE bring sleeping bags! I got far more people staying with me than I expected - a good 14 or 15 - and I simply do not have that many beds. I can set up a tent outside and it'd probably help if some people could share beds. Again, we'll see on the day, but with sooo many people staying here, some compromises are going to have to be made.

I hope everything goes smoothly and everyone enjoys themselves =]

Spoiler: Fox prizes!

 

[snook]

Holy crap, must miraculously win now! Haven't signed up yet I'll do that now.

I actually want to partake in the smash4 doubles too but have no partner, is it possible to get one on the day and sign up for it then? Assuming I'm not the only guy not in a team that is.

 

[Skarfelt]

Yup, quite a few people seem to have that going on. If you put down your name as interested in Doubles on the day, you can try d find a partner from the list. I'll put it up on the wall and if there's anyone you recognise, go find them I guess. I'll also do announcements to make sure everyone interested in entering gets a chance.

 

[noahk777]

dat fox tho.... i want it

I need it.

(Slowly cries in a corner.)

 

[Skarfelt]

One will be going up for raffle at the event... ;D

Breaking Boundaries
GET HYPE

Less than a week to go! Many unanswered questions will be resolved! Who will win Smash 4? Is Ike really OP? Will Mint drop a game? Is the south really THAT free?

(Disclaimer: I do not hold any responsibility for the south kicking our asses and then laughing at us.)
