The Louisiana Thread: Flarefox Forever - We are alive.

[-Se7en-]

Played a good person offline for the first time. We played a good 3/5 in both Brawl and Project M.

Brawl
2/3 : Ramsaur wins
Ramsaur : Meta Knight/Pikachu
Se7en : Meta Knight/Marth.

Project M
2:3 : Ramsaur wins
Ramsaur : Ganon/Falco
Se7en : Randomly picked Snake

Also I have a Project M Mewtwo that can make people pass the salt.

Is it really that bad that meta knight is used in the tournament?

[Smooth Criminal]

Depends, man. Lot of TOs ban him, lot of TOs don't. It's a divisive issue.

[Turazrok]

Interesting. Broken for overpower. I didn't know meta knight was that broken. And banning him in tournament? Hmm, that's kind of silly to do that. Everyone should be able to play whatever characters he/she wants as long as the rules are fair and consistent.

Apex 2014 results were 7/8 top eight MK, and one IC's.

 

[Robert Lee]

Oh, I see. Seems like a character use of drama between players in the community

 

[Robert Lee]

Hmm, base on what you post, majority of the winners at the Apex 2014 were metaknights players. Impressive. No wonder some people want to ban metaknight.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

It ain't because he wins tournaments, tho'. Don't think that. There are a number of other good reasons to get the character ousted.

Tell you what, why don't you play one of LA's MKs sometime, without ANY of the limitations imposed on him by the community rules. You'll see what I mean.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Robert Lee]

Okay. What's your opinion about metaknight? Should he be ban from the tournament?

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Yeah, for the reasons I listed. If you need to go so far as to make multiple rules specifically designed to inhibit the performance/attributes of a given character, that character should be banned. IMO.

TOs may have a differing opinion on the matter, so it's ultimately their call. I can't say for sure how LA feels about it; I just occupy this thread because of awesome people like Sudai, Taylor, and Iceman.

Oh, and Sapphire.

[BSL]

How old are you, Robert Lee?

 

[Robert Lee]

okay. I see. I'm not that old.

 

[BSL]

My question is a commonly used phrase meaning "how many years have you been alive outside the womb?" as opposed to asking for a quantification of "oldness".

How many years have you been alive outside the womb, Robert Lee?

This entire series of Robert:

 

[Robert Lee]

I am 15. And you?

 

[iceman48]

Smooth Criminal

Stop it, you're gonna make us blush.

Edit: I don't think it's trolling, I think he's either serious (maybe) or fishing for a MM and he turns out to be someone we already know, like the anti-Garvix.

 

[BSL]

I am 15. And you?

20.

I suggest you just show up to a tournament. Go with the flow, it'll be easy. People will help you get the hang of the rules. It's much easier than asking a bunch of questions about your every worry.

 

[Robert Lee]

Okay. thanks

 

[Robert Lee]

Can items be used in tournaments?

 

[BSL]

The rule set for every tournament is up to the TO, though they almost always have the same, or extremely similar, rule sets.

Check any tournament thread for a rule set, and you can count on every tournament to have only minor differences, if any at all.

 

[-Se7en-]

No items in any Smash

3 stocks, 8 minutes for Brawl.
4 stocks, 8 minutes for Melee.

No stages with hazards.

 

[Robert Lee]

Oh. That sucks. I thought items will be use. oh well. Why melee stock is 4 as oppose to brawl stock is 3?

 

[DrinkingFood]

Oh. That sucks. I thought items will be use. oh well. Why melee stock is 4 as oppose to brawl stock is 3?

Melee is much more violent and single punishments in neutral can turn into a stock loss for a lot of characters. 4 was settled on as a standard early in Melee's lifespan. When brawl came out, it was apparent that stocks last a lot longer due to weaker punishments and higher required kill percents due largely to hitstun and momentum canceling as well as much better recoveries due to floatiness, auto-snap ledges, and overall better recovery movee distance. So the community reduced the number to 3. Some want it lower. I actually think 1 stock brawl is much more hype than 3 stock since there's less camping and MK would have ZSS as a contender for top tier.

If you don't want to worry about characters being crazy overpowered, play Project M. Or Smash64.

 

[Robert Lee]

I see. I do notice recovery is easier in brawl than melee depending on the physics and the character.

 

[-Se7en-]

Melee's faster, it's nearly balanced I time (average 4 mins). Most Brawl players play slow as careful, and most Melee players rely on chain grabs that rack free damage and shine spikes.

In smash 64 they play with 5 stocks because it's more combo heavy than melee.

 

[Robert Lee]

I suppose so. Brawl's not bad.

 

[DrinkingFood]

Nothing's good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

I see you.

Just a reminder for you Melee players out there:

The Cove Monthly is this Sunday. Registration starts at 4:30. Be there!!

 

[Deleted member]

Awe yeah who is ready to get dunked by drunk me.

 

[ChKn]

People don't want to go against convention and keep MK banned. I have mad respect for Xyro for being consistent with the MK-banned tournaments.

Also, Brawl feels so much nicer with 2-stocks. Yet, no one will want to stray away from convention as well, so the norm will always be 3-stocks. Nothing gets done.

 

[iceman48]

To be fair, without MK, there might not have been such an interest to hack the game and make a better one. So props to MK for assisting in the creation of P:M by being a ****.
Don't know if I'm going to the tourney tomorrow. I can get away with playing at a bar once a week, I think I'll save it for Monday. Nobody be a **** and get our privileges taken away. I'm looking at you Bradford.

 

[Robert Lee]

3 stocks in brawl is good. I don't see what's wrong with it.

 

[007-jake]

Im Robert Lee

 

[Sudai]

Lies. It's your kid. He said he was young.

 

[007-jake]

I was totally gonna say it's my son. Buttt, my son wouldn't troll that hard. He's mastering his crawl tech skill as I type this. Only 5 months. 2GUD

 

[Robert Lee]

Huh? Why are you guys making a joke out of my name?

 

['V']

3-stock Brawl takes too long. It's always the last out of all of the other events to finish, regardless of number of entrants. 2-stock would be way better.

 

[Robert Lee]

Hmm, if brawl is longer than melee, they mind as well change melee to 2 or 3 stocks.
