Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday BSP!

Happy birthday man

Almost every tournament uses Unity at this point, so a million stickies would complicate things. =p

of course

oh. yeah thanks, it was pretty random.

eh ?

Sounds easy enough. Lets show people that LA ****!

looooool. I'm not going to lie, double MK is gay as **** in teams. It invalidates too many character combinations. I'm not sure what set you're talking about, but if it's Lain and Bowyer, we would have gotten wrecked if we went double MK lol.

Yeah, it's just kinda silly haha.

HugS has a really good blog, that has a good quote on it http://allisbrawl.com/blogpost.aspx?id=90378

The whole blog is great, but the TL;DR kinda sums up the issues with japes in one sentence lol

I'm really not sure, and I don't think I should have any direct control in whether it should be legal or not lol.

Although I do know that I hate playing on the stage, and the stage doesn't seem to add much good to our metagame. I've seen it suggested that we should keep track of the, what is it, 4 or 7 second klap trap timer? Anyways, I've seen it suggested that we should have to keep track of that at all times.

If that were what's necessary to make the stage acceptable (keeping track of a short timer throughout the entire match, constantly doing math), I'd lean towards it probably not being a good stage for competition, because that's about as gimmicky as you get.

Gimmicky isn't inherently bad, but it's bad when it detracts from your in-game focus, causing you to be physically unable to play as well as you could on other stages.

Given what I know about the player aspect of that stage, in a practical setting, the klap trap essentially either is random, or is so specific that it causes players to be unable to play at their best, due to having their focus (which is a resource, probably one of the most important resources in the game) lowered from trying not to get killed at all times.

Although for all I know, there might be people who have practiced on it, and followed that timer soooo much that it doesn't detract from their focus, because they're now doing it innately.

But then if that's the case, it could become such a good stage psychologically for some people, I'm not sure if that would be particularly good for competition, having a stage that is considerably better for people who spend all of their time practicing on it, learning skills that ONLY apply to that stage, and the Wario matchup. Like in a practical environment, I'm not sure how fair that'd be to reward such a random skill sooo much when it doesn't apply to any other situation in the game.

So it's hard to say, and I don't think that I should have any say in whether or not it should be legal, as I don't think that I possess the knowledge to be sure.

I definitely dislike the stage, because of the random nature of it (in practical play anyways, unless you're wasting your time learning how to count the seconds, instead of learning the game (HugS had a good blog on this)), and because it rewards camping hugely, and for some characters is basically good JUST because it makes it hard to approach.

It's almost similar to the issues I have with the Mario Bros stage, which I actually think is an alright stage, if it weren't SOOOOO gimmicky and different from the actual game we have set up lol. Just to a lesser extent.

All-in-all, I'm not sure, but I definitely dislike the stage for a variety of reasons. I'm not sure if those reasons are valid enough to ban it or not, and I am probably biased when it comes to this, and don't know enough, so I shouldn't be important in whether it's legalized or not. I do know, though, that when I play there (just like when I play on RC, or Brinstar, but not really anywhere else) that whether I win or lose (and I probably win more often than not, since it's a good MK stage), it doesn't feel nearly as mindgames based as any other stage. I follow a set way to play, and if my spacing is better than theirs, I'll probably win, simply because my character as all the traits necessary to be able to do that. No outsmarting necessary. (I beat ranked 8 in SoCal the other day simply because I ran rainbow cruise on him, and attacked when I'm below him stage-wise, and camped hard any other time. I wasn't playing smart, or using any of the tactics used on stages that aren't Brinstar, RC, Japes, or Green Greens (or Norfair, too).

I'm not sure what it is that causes that feeling, but I know that there's merit to it, to some extent. How much, I'm not sure, and I can't judge accurately. Not yet anyways. I'm rambling pretty bad, but I think you probably get what I mean.

And thank you for actually reading my posts, instead of scanning, or reading tiny parts of them

Thanks lol.

That's the main point of my chart; to show how broken MK is. Although all of the other neat tidbits about other characters that we uncover is cool too. ;p

Sure thing! If you can, hopefully we can talk on chat.
And I'll tell you everything you want to know

For NOM or for LAST5? I normally don't go to NOMs but I was looking for a partner for LAST5. If I ever happen to go to a NOM though I'll team with you there too.

The tournament is today at 6:30 EST if you're still interested. I'm going to bracket you regardless.

Did you get my PM?

Check the thread for sign ups for the next tournament, which will be split into two rooms, and then we also have time trials going on for the rest of the year for you to compete in (in the second post).

Are we ever going to get to see you play Mario Kart again?

I haven't checked it out yet

You need to be in Toon Link's face for as long as possible.

His blindspot is when he pulls out his bombs. Approach him and punish the bomb animation before he has a chance to toss it or airdodge.

Be able to catch bombs and powershield well, since you'll need these for arrow and boomerang pressure.

Tink has just as much of a hard time KOing you as you do him, as long as you're able to avoid the projectiles into his KO setups.

lol i promise you won't i've been hiding my power level

another time perhaps

keeps saying disconnected during transmission

don't see why not, u will have to give me few minutes though
turning guile's theme into a brstm

Yeah that was horrible lol.

Uhh...idk wtf Sonic can do, but try to sdi/di out of DB if I don't get the blue version on the 2nd or 3rd hit. I have to buffer it like crazy on wifi though so lol.

GGs lol. Mom nagging me. Let's get this done another time. I'll try to hook my Wii up to the router.

Yeah give me a few minutes.

2921 8744 6781

Yeah lol. Let me get my FC.

kk idk if I can make it tonight, but I should be good around 3 PM.

K it's done lol.

Someone in another country is giving it a shot at a local. So its getting as far as the MK ban sorta (mk ban had a national though). Worth a shot, just want a nice private discussion to flesh out ideas for any TO interested.

Will you be online in an hour? I wanna finish watching Space Jam lol.

Yo let's play.

who else do i need to invite to this party? I need the insightful folks from either side.
