The Big MI Discussion Topic

[DRDN]

Lol at not knowing the rules its in EVERY tourneys forum and you've been to Rizks and he even printed out the stagelist for everyone which I also plan to do so if you don't know the rules that's you being ignorant

Also DRDNs World you have 2 stage bans and RC and Brin are not legal

 

[Roller]

But you don't have that problem with the Apex ruleset. My problem is obviously the same as yours. I see that as a reason to advocate for the Apex one. Which is what I'm doing.

And I do support what they are doing, which is why I've followed their rulesets with the exception of the last tourney I hosted which used the APEX ruleset.

DRDN... please just stop. First of all. I mentioned that your ruleset bans brin and rc... So that point of your post just shows that you don't understand what you are reading.

And I was referring to knowing the rules when I picked my character to learn.. (it's pretty obvious given the context) not at an individual tourney. There were, and still are many rulesets. I did not know at the time this would be the case. I assumed they would be phased out soon or not accepted in general just like distant planet and whatnot were.

 

[DRDN]

I'm not going to stop discussing in the discussion forum but you can complain about stages while many others can complain about your chars 0-Death on EVERYONE lol

Roller, Kansas has some of the best players in the world, let alone the midwest, let alone the MWW. Only 2 of their top 10 main MK, and the ones that don't main him are considered top 3 per character. Kansas in its prime would give a lot of other great states a run for their money.

That was until they retired in the mid-summer

If someone doesn't ban FD, that's a free win 9/10 times at a MK banned tourney with a LGL.

But since they are...

Against a character that doesn't have sharking ability/not snake.

This stage is really easy to force grabs on since it's so small in the first section after lift off. Then when it gets to the bigger part, you can still just fish for grabs forever because eventually they will have to get back on stage anyway. It's not like they are just going to camp you until the hazards come out, that's stupid (if they are good enough they will just camp the entire match, that's how you beat stupid IC's/end), you can get baited into them just as easily as you can not getting grabbed. This stage is in IC's favor, but you'll have to use your imagination because it's kinda hard since every IC's main seems to hate this stage, but I think it's good for him, lots of chances to force a grab.

Everyone else

A moving platform is all that keeps you away from your grab, that's it, you can force people away from and off the moving platform and just grab them that way. Assuming they don't abuse ledge grabs this is easily a stage in IC's favor.

If Legal

VS someone without insanely fast horizontal recovery (fox/falco/wolf):japes:

Seriously, think about it.

Obviously if it's legal is IC's 2nd best stage, and it's legal in Nebraska.

@stages: I don't deny any of that, Rob. (except for Jungle Japes. Characters such as Falco would get a boost vs us on that stage.) And I do like Halberd, and have CP'd it in the past.

All I'm saying is that stages such as smashville are not the same as Brinstar. In that they do not disrupt the functions of the opponent's character to the point that it becomes a 2v1 of one character vs a character + the stage. Which I feel is wrong.

@MWW players- Compare them to other regions...
The Northeast... Is definitely better. (NJ/NY alone would be)
The South... Is definitely better. (TX+FL alone would be)
The West Coast... Is definitely better. (Cali alone might be)
The Pacific Northwest... Sucks.

And DRDN, I never said you couldn't complain about ICs having a CG... I found the cg hard to deal with when I mained pika..

 

[DeLux]

lol

Rob KS is broken but who are these 8 top 3 in character people you speak of?
You exaggerate slightly.

But imo some of the best players in the IC MU play out here (MJG is the IC slayer, Nicole is the IC slayer until she moved away, Hylian is the ditto master account for most of my losses in tournament the last 5 months). It's really a hard place to be an IC main imo

 

[Zankoku]

I don't really care what stage lists people run, but typically if you (as in the state) plan to attend some big international event, it would definitely be preferred for you (as in the TO) to parallel said event's rules for better preparation.

 

[Roller]

I agree with you there, Lux. Living on the east coast, and having played a number of the west and south guys at apex, pound, and genesis... The Midwest knows how to deal with ICs best.


And I obviously agree with Ankoku.

 

[MegaRobMan]

@stages: I don't deny any of that, Rob. (except for Jungle Japes. Characters such as Falco would get a boost vs us on that stage.)

VS someone without insanely fast horizontal recovery (fox/falco/wolf):japes:

@Lux-Holmes-Wolf, MJG-Toon Link, Mr. Doom-Ike...Fino is good too but top 3 is an exageration I suppose.

OOH, and Raptor was once considered a top 3 pika and Inferno was a top 3 CAPTAIN FALCON according to a story he told me.

 

[DeLux]

You've accounted for 6/7 of the top 10 lol

Hyperboleeeee

 

[DRDN]

Pika atleast has a projectile to use and not get grabbed kirbys doesn't even count

 

[DeLux]

Kirby has 50 jumps and a grab combo set that does almost as much damage as the average IC CG though

 

[Roller]

Having been an active member of the pika community since about 2 weeks after the game was released.. Stealth, though a solid pika (a better one than I am at the very least) was never top 3.

And out of 3 characters, 2 of the ones you named were wolf and ike... Have fun with those.

 

[Sailor Princess Twenty-Two.]

Rainbow Cruise and Brinstar are really stupid stages and shouldn't be legal.

I really don't care about the arguments either way. they are just really dumb stages.


also I'm not going to enter any tournies before or most likely after skynet. This game isn't fun.

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

wow wtf there's way too much actual smash discussion going on in here...

 

[warlock-don-mia24]

Warlock-don suck so bad i jus look at the videos drdn recorded of me retired time for warlock-don guy cuz i suck so bad lolol

 

[Ori_bro]

I lol'd gio .

 

[SCOTU]

That's awesome Gio

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Oh we're having stage discussions again? Oh boy.

 

[Juggleguy]

Warlock-Don broke the hearts of everyone in the Midwest by not showing up to The Big House

 

[Rabbi Nevins]

me and warlock don still have to hoop. Someone bring a recording setup

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

so, i've decided i'm hosting a brawl tournament.

details to come

 

[Roller]

inb4allnoncharactersbanned

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Oh I still need to make a thread for my tournament..lol Or I could recycle.

 

[Roller]

get on that.

Ori, when are you thinking of doing yours, cause as of now.

November 5th; Too soon to announce
November 12th; Too soon to announce
November 19th; Revenge
November 20th; Skynet
December 3rd; Juggle Guy's tourney
December 10th; Tech's tourney
December 17th; DRDN's World+HOPE
December 24th; too many people have family obligations
December 31st; A lot of people will be going to new years parties/vacation/NJ >_>
First weekend of January; APEX

December 3rd would be the best (/only imo) date for you to have one. Since Juggleguy's tourney is just Melee as of now. Same for Gio if you were to actually hold one.

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Having another Ann Arbor tournament the same day as Juggle's is going to cause both tournaments to run slower than normal if several people enter both (there's like always 3 or 4 people who do). I personally don't feel like going through that again lol. Just something to keep in mind if Gio plans on doing that.

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

 

[Roller]

I think that if Brawl cut doubles out, it could be done. But the suggestion was mainly for Ori.

 

[Juggleguy]

Derek, what's your email? I'll send you the room reservation receipt for 12/10 so you can print it yourself (I might not be there after all, that's looking like a big study time).

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

derek.greggs@gmail.com

How should I get you the money for reserving it if you wont be there?

 

[Dre the Ace]

Yo, who's this warlock-don-mia24 scrub.

 

[Roller]

I could get the money to Rob for you.
