Rizul

Lol of course I did

Gaah it gets really boring after a while :/ The drama is funny for a while but then it just gets tedious

And Peach's Bair can cause problems for Wario but like I pointed out and I think another Wario main did, Wario could simply run at Peach, shield the Bair and grab her by forcing her to run out of room. Vs Wario I prefer to use Bair when I can and use Dair to stop his aerials instead

I never got chance to watch any of the Gensis matches. I heard Europe did ok but they did much better in Melee than they did in Brawl. Ah well

Hey I wasn't getting grabbed anywhere near as much as I used to be last time we played

When this week is finished I should be able to have games, right now it's out of the question since I'm so busy. I haven't played Brawl in ages either xD

Yea I've just got one final extremely busy week left and then I'm free xD Might be able to get a few games in this week but it'll be unlikely D:

Riiizul! I'm not too sure... I have a job now during the day, and I finish at like 6.. and by the time I make dinner and settle down it's like 10, and then bang the day's just over... I don't know if I can brawl normal times again lol... but I'm sure we'll play sometime soon. Hang in there and keep repping P.Trainer =p

Hey there, you up for some games today? We haven't brawled in a while and I haven't been on Brawl in aaaages since I've been so busy

Yea sorry I've been pretty busy as of late. I'll be sure to let you know when things aren't as busy. And I still have another 2 weeks of school No fair

Yea FF4 was easy if played right but most games are I found FF3 harder. I have a bad tendancy to go through the game very quickly...random encounters are normally pretty boring for me and as a result, when I come up against a boss, I tend to be vastly underleveled. It's always fun though since it gives me a bit more of a challenge but for some bosses which have multi hitting moves, you've no choice but to level up or you'll get wiped out

I can definitly say that FF4: The After Years is harder than FF4, paticularly in Rydia's Tale. The biggest problem is that there are level caps - you can't just powerlevel to Lvl 99. On Ceodore/Kain's chapter you're limited to a max of Lvl 50 and with Rydia's chapter, Lvl 40. You're very limited to what equipment you can have, the encounter rate is very high and near the beginning of the game, a lot of your team mates like Biggs and Wedge and White/Black Mage don't level up so they're stuck at the same level so you can't make them any stonger. It would be ok but the monster encounter rate like I said is very high, as is the number of Back Attacks and Suprise attacks. Monsters also hit very hard and healing everyone is a chore due to very limited MP. I found myself running away from most of the fights in dungeons and healing whoever got hit with Potions. It was the easiest method of getting through the dungeon and being healthy enough to fight the boss. Plus, with some characters like the White and Black mage, they can't gain EXP and therefore levels, so there's no point training in the dungeon since they don't get any stronger

It's a really good game though and if you liked FF4, I would reccommend you get it. It comes to about 3700 Wii Points if you want the whole thing though But it's good from what I've played so far

Yeah it has been a long time rizul... I don't when we'll be able to play actually... must catch you online sometime next week! How've you been anyways?

If you catch me on later I should hopefully be able to play some games

And the dungeon is ok, I finished Ceodore's/Kains story Challenge Dungeon, that wasn't too bad. I still need to finish Rydia's story Challenge Dungeon...much harder considering everything hits like a ton of bricks and there's only two of you with no healer at all. At least I have Bio (the spell). It's so broken. Does tons of damage for 20 mp, causes an uncurable poision that does 4 damage a second and has no casting time, it's an instant cast xD Ridiculous. Wish I could say the same about Rosa's Pray (or Blessing as it's called now). Used to be really good for getting MP back but it fails so many times so it's very very risky to use

This FF is much much harder than the other FF's. FF4 for example was pretty easy for the majority of the way through excluding the horrible bosses like Dr.Luggae (I should have thought of the Elixier method sooner xD) but in comparison, FF4: The After Years is much harder. The encounter rate has gone up hugely, the frequency of Back Attack and Surprise attacks has gone up, everything hits very very hard and all the monsters are really fast too. The EXP you gain is also pretty poor. I found myself running from most of the battles because your party members are just far too weak to fight through every battle and make out of a dungeon alive

Eh I'm not sure, I'm trying to finish the Challenge Dungeons in Final Fantasy 4: The After Years. It's not easy - all the monsters deal sooooo much damage and the rate of getting a Back Attack or Surprise attack is ridiculous. I'll let you know if I can

GRRRRRR my parents pulled the plug on my internet and told me to do some work

Sorry about that :/ And yea it would be cool if we could live close. Lagless Brawlling all the time :D Too bad we live in different countries xD

Yea I've been fairly busy recently. We can have some games now if you're up for it

Hey yea I'm up for some games if you're on later. I kept missing you it would seem

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=239350

I thought this might interest you :P It's pretty cool tbh but it's a shame it can only be done on moving stages. At least it reduces the chance of being punished during a switch

Ahh sorry I was choosing Random and I tend to choose random stages as well. I'll pick normal stages next time if I do that I promise

That's good to hear you're reflexes are getting better! I'm glad you're feeling you've improved But yea Wi Fi does mess things up like dodging which is what massivly bugs me. I mean, I can see DeDeDe's Bair from a mile off - I know it's coming, I can feel it coming...and then I either crash into it when I shielded or fail to punish the landing lag because the input lag causes me to move later than I wanted to. It applies to everything, from DeDeDe's Waddles and Bair to Peach's Fair and Turnips. It's rubbish but it's the best we've got and if we both ever get the chance to play offline against other players, we can do even better against them since we aren't hindered by input lag

Yea I would say the match up is probably 60:40 DeDeDe or 55:45 for DeDeDe if things weren't that bad, it's hard to give exact ratios basing things online. They're fairly even but the problem is that DeDeDe's Bair stops nearly all of Peach's attacks unless she OoS Turnips him or Nair chases him. Then you have to factor in killing. DeDeDe is strong and can kill Peach at around 100%, lower if Peach messes up and gets hit by an F Smash or something. Peach on the other hand can't kill as well. Her main killing move is Fair...which is really the only aerial that's nearly safe to use all the time due to DeDeDe's massive grab range. That gets stale fairly easily, you nearly always surivive at around 160%+ or 170%+ because I'm constantly having to use my Fair to hit you. Any other moves will get Baired or grabbed

DeDeDe's recovery isn't great because it's a chance for a free Up Smash or Turnip spam but if DeDeDe swallowcides and swallows Peach, she is dead. But Peach's isn't much better since going to the ledge is the most safe option...and then she's kind of stuck there whilst DeDeDe throws out massive range attacks to try and kill her

I think DeDeDe has the advantage because of killing power, grab range and grab which will result in fairly heavy damage + chance for edgeguard if Peach messes up even slightly and the fact that he's so heavy. Granted, I can't take into account Turnip Slide Pulling which is a shame because apparantly it's really godo against DeDeDe but doing it on Wi Fi is pretty much impossible so I don't know if that would shift things to it being more even

Ah well that's how things go

Avoiding certain attacks is all well and good but in input lag it can be hard to avoid such attacks. I'm still trying to find ways around DeDeDe's Bair but I did better that time. I just need to keep things fresh and mix it up. As Peach though I still feel disadvantaged against DeDeDe. Peach doesn't have any moves that can properly stop his Bair

It's such a shame that we can't play without lag. There's stuff that annoys because we can't play to our full potential. I can't Turnip slide or powershield his Bair/Waddles and you can't powershield Turnips/do your chaingrab 100% all the time due to lag

Also Snake's F Tilt online is lol

Hey there you up for some games? I've got quite a few events going on at school soon so I won't be online for a while

Yeah Zelda and Sheik alone tend to be quite bad... I think they complete each other though, it kinda shocks you how much easier a matchup is where they're both geared to do their roles of killing and damage racking respectively.

Speaking of which, I really need to get my Sheik and also my Peach a little better, especially peach because I'm reeeeally neglecting her recently. Need some peach dittos with rick to get the inspiration.

Really?? Zelda's a horrifically disadvantaged character but I just get a rush playing as her and also playing with other lower tiers, I'm really getting into jigglypuff a lot now too. I can play a few top tiers, but I just don't find them fun at all. Diddy Kong and MK are fun, but that's about it really for me as far as top tiers go.

I don't know what it is... I kinda just like landing lightning kicks, spikes and uairs. Especially when you get an early kill.

I just want to try harder that's all. I feel more and more limited with Peach every day and I think I need to mix things up and adapt to lag and be prepared to take more risks

I hate playing in input lag though. I've been playing offline a fair few times recently and full control over Peach is joyful. Tbh my stlye offline is somewhat different to my style online. Plus, I can do sliding Turnip pulls which are very very helpful, especially against characters like DeDeDe

Mmm...I do tend to be losing my patience a lot. I need to stop feeling bad going into campy mode...half the time it doesn't even work though

You up for some more games? I'm determined to do better this time and not lose my cool

Yeah very true! I actually think it's even imo. I think my ability to not land lightning kicks seriously affects this matchup as does the dtilt > buffered lightning kick... as I don't actually know how to do that lmao but people like ninjalink and DM would probably know how to... despite this though I was horribly predictable >.> haha! Wonderful spacing though as always.

I think my matchup inexperience has kind of lead to this though, I'll need to get better at the actual matchup as you've played my zelda far more than I've played your dedede due to whoever your main is lol! Who do you main???

Wonderful dedede rizul... you had my game sussed this time... I'll be much more prepared next time as I know what to do now =p

Sorry I don't want to play FFA's atm. I'll have some 1 vs 1's later but atm I am so sick of feeling helpless and losing all the time

Can't you give me some advice where I'm going wrong that isn't Peach is lower tier for a reason? I can't seem to react properly in time for anything. I'm sick of getting gayed by Wi Fi constantly and I'm recently getting really **** at this game

Sure I'll be on in a sec

I was a bit bored today so I played a CPU DeDeDe

He shield grabbed me when he could (although he used a lot of grabs anyway), threw Waddles when I was Floating and always tried to Bair me

Lol

Nah by air camping I mean the repeated spacing or aerials like DeDeDe's Bair on the spot or moving backwards and forwards. A lot of characters playstyles revolve around it like Kirby for example

It's annoying because it causes Peach a lot of problems. It's much harder to avoid on Wi Fi but it's still diificult for Peach to get around it. And in the case of things like DeDeDe's Bair, it just eats most of what she does

I need to take more risks with it though, I panic and worry that I'll get hit or won't be able to react correctly to follow ups if I run in and shield and then try to OoS counter attack. I don't like taking risks in lag which is why my edge game is so awful because one mistake off stage means vertical death for Peach

Sort of, I don't really like using Wario that I'm not great with him

Lol a no Turnip Peach is all well and good but they're really helpful in some situations. Unfortunetly I'm not very good with Wario so meh. I haven't fought him in a while and trust me to get a Beam Sword at a time where you could pick it up and use it against me

I hate aerial camping :/ I really need to take more of a chance and walk up to it and shield. Except I can never seem to shield in time >.>

Sure but I'm not sure how long I can be on for since it's Father's Day and we're having dinner sometime soon I'll be online in a sec

Lol it's great fun for me since I can Float constantly on the water but it does mean I can get spiked fairly easily

Yeah I agree! I think Dedede is a great character because he has tons of great tools to survive even against the quickest and speediest of characters. His survival DI is his biggest strong point imo. Surviving a Usmash fresh at 120% was insane and impressive!

Oh yeah let me come online! edit:: as in online on swf not brawl =p

Yeeessss! I can't get rid of it rizul.... >.< It's what kills me the most! I also approach... when I'm in the lead. This is actually a very bad habit also, but it's not a tourney round so it doesn't really matter haha!

The thing against dedede is that there's a trip combo > bair sweetspot, the timing's a bit hard... it's death at 69% on him when fresh lol! I think this is one of the reasons she's believed to have a slight advantage on him. But take that away and he definitely is a challenge if not spaced. I just need to stop running into bairs and fsmashes! Bair is such a good move of his!

GGs! You always pick heavies for ffas don't you? =p Bowser just seems to get sucked in by zelda's smashes and kicks it's unreal =O

Lovely pokemon trainer as usual... you're getting sooooo good. He is underrated imo! Charizard is a biiig pain!

Yea I should do, gimme a sec I'll be online soon

Alright then, but just remember, sometimes people say things they don't mean. I'll let things die down and leave it at this for now

/massivefacepalm

Right, whatever. I'm not going to lie, I honestly can't understand either of you're reasonings behind this. I would be over the moon if you could sort this out between you but it doesn't look like either of you even want to make the effort to do so

Like I said I don't want to fall out with either of you so I'm going to leave it at this for now. If you want to have some games with me please just ask me as usual. I'll only say no if I'm busy or have to do something else

Rizul I don't want to see you upset over this. I do understand that you're angry over him gimping you and stuff but I have to look out for both of you in this matter since you're both my friends. I don't want to fall out with either of you but at the same time I don't want to take sides

Please just talk about things over with him and let's all be friends again k?

:/ Come on, this is getting silly now. You were using Ganondorf right? Maybe he did it to try and help you back up onto the stage but instead it accidently stage spiked you. Accidents happen, I've killed my partner lots of times before, I know for certain I've whacked you with Fair and killed you before when you were on my team and Kataefi gets the odd lightning kick on team mates as well

Rizul, you don't need to get all stressy about it, it was just an accident and it's just a game. I understand it was irriating getting team killed but you don't need to hold it against him It pains me and Kata to see you both fighting. It's so...pointless to fight each other like this. What are either of you gaining? One less person to brawl with in decent lag. It's so silly to fall out about this


Please, both of you settle your differences and make up with each other so we can all get along with each other I don't want people to fall out with each other

>< Look, I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose and I think the accidental gimping was so he could recover and you just happened to get caught in the hit. It's not like he ran straight at you to completly hit you

I don't want to fall out with either of you because you're both friends of mine and we always have brawls too but if you guys fall out it'll be 1. incredibly awkward and 2. team games will stop, which will suck and Kataefi will be gutted

For my sake at least, please try to get on with each other. Stuff happens, friends have arguements all the time. Just make up with each other - it's not big deal, it's only a game after all If someone hits you, oh well big deal, just mess around
