Hey Kiester! I'll see if I can convince my roommate to come with me to this. No promises, though; he might be in the middle of writing his dissertation at that point.

Hey guys, I was pretty active on this forum (and in my local smash scene) back in the Brawl days, and I check back here from time to time to see how Smash 4 is doing. I was involved in a lot of the polishing and/or removal of unclear / inconsistent rules during one of the major updates to the...

Training against level 9 computers will make you play worse - playing solidly will get you wrecked, while playing stupidly will grant you an easy win. Low level computers are at least useful for learning the ranges on your attacks and the extent of your mobility.

I think EVO showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are no balance problems with custom moves, and tournaments throughout the country have shown that there is no logistics problem with running tournaments with customs. Custom moves do increase the barrier for entry for a new player -...

Evo's top 8 features 8 different characters? That's pretty hype.

I do not understand the mindset that learning character matchups does more to advance the game's "meta" than learning stages does.

Can someone link me to an explanation of the mechanics for what you're able to do after getting hit, and more importantly, how to do them? I have plenty of experience with Brawl, but I'm finding that in this game, everyone can combo me indefinitely before I can act, whereas when I try to do...

The problem is that whereas humans make up for their reaction time by predicting what the target will do, CPUs make up for their inability to think by having no reaction time. If a high level CPU is doing nothing in the air, no aereal attack will hit because it will respond to the attack by...

For some feedback, I was looking through Smash Boards for a Smash for Wii U tournament in Columbus; if that game were included instead of / in addition to Melee variants I would likely have joined.

After spending well more than a year being frustrated with not being permitted to discuss having MK banned (even within the BBR), I'm kind of surprised this thread isn't locked. Mind you, I don't think it should be, but I'm still bitter about the unfair treatment we had before. Count your...

Count me as 50% likely to attend. There's a picninc with some of my coworkers, but it's so hot I'll probably prefer to do something inside rather than outside.

As many will no doubt recall, I am a solid detractor to the basic concept of the "unity" ruleset, which is the primary function of the BBR-RC. I'm no friend of theirs. However, the Smash community has in the past generally turned a blind eye toward unacceptable behavior in tournaments, both...

I've posted plenty of stuff about the IDC before. Some of it was in the BBR, and at this point I forget which was posted where. I have some stuff saved on my computer from a while back, so I'll repost it here. Notice that my claim regarding "the status quo" regarding IDC vs EDC is certainly...

Why am I on this list? I didn't sign up. Also, I have RL stuff I need to get done today.

Back in town now. Looks like I just missed some smash, though. Oh well.
