y.toonlink

Yep BUT I'm not allowed to use them. Umm.... I think I slacked off too much. LOL

Can't yet

I need to wait for a month....

I have too much on my hands (Studies)

That you took the time to lurk around my page for an invite, I respect that BIG XD

Glad to see you kickin it too. What an awesome guy you are.

Yo man thanks for the invite.

Yeah seriously, the Wii ain't worth stealing. Instead, steal someone's face!!!! o.O

I think Ken could keep up with the meta game, but the real reason he probably quit was because he probably didn't want to be second fiddle to Mew2King, Mango, and PC Chris. He actually trash talked M2K on some thread, and M2K was nothing but polite and M2K was thinking about retiring Melee and Brawl, but it probably added fuel to the fire and may have actually motivated M2k to become probably the best Brawl player, and one of the best 2 or 3 Melee players, lol. Meanwhile, Ken remains at home, unproven. His "mind games" and play style when he retired wouldn't beat the 200th best Melee player, lol. It surprises me how Melee has evolved so far, and heck even Smash 64 has evolved quite a bit.

Yeah I didn't know it was Mango. I met him at the tournament before and he had hair down to his shoulders. Then a week later before CGC, he shaved all his hair off, and I was facing him. Literally a couple dozen people swarmed around our screen, lol. I was G'dog against his Cpt. Falcon, and I totally mind gamed him into some Ganon stomps. If I was as technically advanced as I was now, I definitely would have taken a stock, and I probably would have done the crotch taunt after said kill, lol! I actually got interviewed on the live chat afterwards, lol. They thought was funny.. putting randoms against Mango. I thought it was too, lol!

Mango didn't say anything but "YES" and "got that" when he made a smart move, and he even said owch when I Warlock Punched him, lol. He was pretty quiet, and he had good sportsmanship before and after the match (we did the epic handshake, lol). Actually after a set in a tournament once I bear hugged someone, lol. Of course, we played on the Summit (it was a mutual agreement, and the TO let us), and the match was beyond epic.

I could really only use G'dog, Captain Falcon, of course Fox, and perhaps maybe Sheik (albeit I find her boring) or Dr. Mario (I like his style, but I don't love it), and maybe Ness as a random factor (and in low tier tournament) competitively.

You live in San Fran? I used to go to CGC all the time there (which is at SFSU). I can't believe I forgot about Genesis 2 (that was in Antioch), aka the biggest Smash 64/Melee/Brawl tournament, especially with my boy Taj and his epic performance.

Yeah I love playing Ness in Melee, and I kinda like to play Young Link and Luigi. Fortunately, low tier character tournaments exist, which are totally awesome. I would definitely love to enter a low tier tournament.

Yeah with Counter-Strike I just practiced on maps with infinite maps a lot, got down my technique, and learned some "tricks" to run, jump, and even shoot faster.

BlazBlue is made by the same people who made Guilty Gear, and is somewhat similar to Street Fighter, albeit with odder characters, move sets, and even mechanics. It's pretty balanced too, which is always good.

Yeah I'll definitely hit you up. I'm definitely going to get a Wii U, if not when it comes out, within a year or so, especially since I don't have to pay a crap ton for books since I've taken most of my classes with expensive books, lol!

Yeah seriously why steal a Wii? I mean a PS3, a Xbox 360 costs 300. A Wii costs half of that, if even that, lol!

I watching many Genesis 2 Smash 64, Melee, and Brawl videos. I've been practicing Melee here and there, and I keep getting better and better. Ever since I went to tournaments to play Brawl and I played Melee friendlies (one time I face Mango and didn't know it; I almost actually took a stock in a 4 stock game, which was awesome!), my Melee offensive has gotten better, and I learned how to use near every character competitively from that. With Brawl I'm always in groove because I only have to memorize one character.

Fortunately with Melee my main has been Fox since a week before I joined smashboards. My play style with Fox has evolved over the years, but my biggest change are my secondaries. At one point or another over the past year to two years, I have secondaried everybody but Pikachu, Pichu, Samus, and Mr. Game and Watch. My current secondaries are Captain Falcon and Ganondorf. I occasionally pull out Ness because despite his weaknesses I love his play style, and I would love to use him in a low-tier tournament.

Yeah I'm a Fox main, but I can't SHDL, except on rare occasions. Other than that I don't have amazing reflexes. I do play Counter-Strike a lot, which I have found over the years I have somehow gotten amazing. Just the other day I averaged over 6 kills per death, and I didn't realize it. I used to die 6 times before getting a kill. I used to kill in spurts, and die in bigger spurts. Now I kill in huge spurts, and die here and there. I didn't notice it until my cousin was impressed by me, lol!

My girlfriend only wants to play Melee, which I am fine with. I used to enter Brawl tournaments only but right now I would rather focus on Melee. Once I really got Melee "down" though I would definitely enter some Brawl tournaments, assuming SSB Wii U and 3DS don't come out before and steal my attention, lol. I feel each smash game makes me better and more aware of things in the others, oddly enough.

I have an Xbox 360 (my username is an odd one: "Johnknigh1" lol!). I play any combination Street Fighter II *insert long remix name here*, Madden 11, NBA 2K11, GTA IV, and Borderlands online at least two or three times a week.

I use my girlfriends PS3 every once in a while,mostly to play Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, MGS4, Metal Gear Online, and occasionally Uncharted 2 and Blaze Blue (although after a while I tend to get bored of conventional fighting games, lol). I'll have to check what her username is there.

I haven't been to a Brawl tournament in about 20 months, lol. Too much school work for me, and too much money, lol.

That's pretty funny somebody didn't have all the characters. You have to play what? 350 offline matches. I did that within the first week of having Brawl... >.>

Our clan we just used anybody on the roster. I couldn't imagine being forcing people to play one character, especially a character as fundamentally flawed as Link (in any smash game, really).

We actually had a random clan match with a bunch of scrubs, whom none of them won a single match online, lol! We faced some of the Play 2 Win folks, which was close and pretty fun actually. Those guys weren't too bad. Of course, we are talking about Brawl's lagline!

My specialty or best skills in each smash game is different. It is very odd.
In Smash 64 with my first main, Mari,o I can hit dead on with his fireballs, and I can setup a good approach. With my other main, Captain Falcon, I can space fairly well and can time out my opponents fairly easily. My close range game sucks because I can't combo too well, and I can get combo'd pretty easily.
In Melee with my main Fox (and my secondaries Ganon and Captain Falcon), I'm actually a close range specialist. I am surprisingly really good at close range combat, and I can rack up some pretty good combos. Ironically I tend to play pretty defensively in an offensive game in Melee; my spacing is pretty good, and my overall defense anywhere is pretty good. My long-range offense sucks, and I'm working on improving my mid-range fighting skills.
In Brawl, my long-range offense with Toon Link 3 long-range specials, his zAir, and his grab is how I win matches. If I can't win the long-range battle, can't force my opponent to approach me, or I can't create a defensive short-range opening against my opponent, I lose. If I do any of that, my long-range offense paves a way for my short range offense. My mid and long-range defense are good, but short-range I'm well below average. Ironically in such a defensive game in Brawl, I play a very offensive-based game. I live and die by offense, lol.

But yeah, like you I use everybody on the roster to practice with and to get a "feel" for. I try to imitate the best. Once I get done with college and whatnot I'll probably focus more on each smash game and try to improve. I've been teaching my brother (who has ridiculous reflexes) and my girlfriend how to be better at Melee and Brawl, and they've been coming along, but are far from finished. My brother has reflexes that make me envious. His reflexes and speed of hands could allow him to win at any sport or game, period. In Counter-Strike, he's top 20 on like 10 servers with thousands of members because he is so fast and has such a vast understanding of the game (albeit he plays mostly zombie escape servers).

Ironically though, I hate sports game until I got Madden 11, and found out I **** at that, so I've been playing that recently semi-competitively. I'm real good at 3v3 in Madden, especially with a particular group of friends. Together we've won something like 300 online matches straight, including several games where we won as time expired, lol. Some people actually refuse to face us now because we're able to counter everything they do, lol! It's too bad I ain't that good at smash... >.>

Yeah I went to about 4 or 5 tournies; the furthest one I got in was my first ironically, lol! I beat 2 Ikes (who were nearly identical, and easy to time out; the second was a bit better) and almost beat a Donkey Kong that ended up being a ranked player in NorCal, lol.

Yeah I remember that Knights of the Drowned Kingdom. I used to be a leader of Shining Fist before it died (Which was previously named Omneox of Smash, lol), which of course I blame entirely on Brawl's online sucking! I think we were allies or in the process of becoming allies, lol.

Yeah online sucked. For some reason, Omega (who was in Shining Fist) had great connection (which for Brawl online standards means like half the average frames per second, lol!), even though my buddies who live a few miles away had terrible connection with me, lol.

I probably never used anyone other than Toon Link because I can't fight direct up close in Brawl well without much range between myself and my opponent (I'm the opposite in Melee). With Toon Link, I rely on his 3 projectiles specials and his mid-air grappling hook a lot. I can't really do that with anyone else, and my close range "guessing" fighting is awful at best, which eliminates most of the roster. I do use Pika sometimes and I've tried and failed with De3, Kirby, Meta Knight, Diddy Kong (I'm a nana master against him!), and Marth, but other than that, I suck hardcore without Toon Link! XD

It's weird how my style perfectly fits the character I wanted the most in Brawl, and how I suck with everyone else, isn't it=??? XD

Yeah your post count had me confused. I had to read some of your posts multiple times, because you had far more intelligent things to say than a usual person with that post count, lol!

I haven't visited Dynamism in forever. Is it and "[Play to Win]" still around?

Also, did ya ever get around to maining Toon Link=??? (That's what I meant in my first post) Because I've been maining him since the release, and while I've never been a world beater caliber player, but it doesn't mean that I don't play zany, and it isn't at least fairly effective! XD Actually I play(ed) Toon Link so much I don't even play anyone else competitively or casually, lol.

Heck yeah I remember you. Did you change your username=??? You main TL in Brawl since its launch since I did.
