*pops out of nowhere*

Scrub - A term used in the gaming community refering to those without interest or knowledge in advanced level play.

A term that's not really usable anywhere else, like real life.

"What? You don't know how to script a calculation of computer's total uptime using the ticks variable? **** what a scrub."

Arecibo no es mucho de una jungla, aunque... normalmente a casi nadie le interesan las areas donde hay mucha vegetacion y bosques... si vuelves a Arecibo, ve con otras personas y ve a un mall o algo, pq del resto del pueblo, se me parece a una version mas calurosa de Utuado... Anyways, yo no voy mucho pa Arecibo, pero cuando estaba en PR, casi siempre estaba en Hatillo, o sea, en el mall o visitando gente.
Que aburrimiento, ya manana vuelvo pa PR, pero todavia quiero quedarme 1 o 2 dias mas, quiero volver a la tienda de Nintendo pa retar a los empleados en Smash ;) aunque ahora mismo me podria ganar cualquiera, lleva 2 semanas sin jugar Melee.

After long time of lurking welcome back to posting on the boards,
How much are you interested in Smash?
Your Marth seems to move more and more technical each day, plus the way you hold a game controller is very unique.
I know Soul Calibur 3 is your thing, but just wondering how serious you are about Smash :O
On a Side note....
Cuando costo ir a St Marteen a VGX? Me podrian informar?
Happy Smashing.

Bueno, si alguien quiere jugar smash, pues no problem, o sea, la juego siempre y cuando alguien quiera jugar. Juego mas SC porque aqui hay mas liga de SC que en Smash(estoy hablando de Arecibo) y pues, jugar un juego solo es aburrido.

Y cojo el control asi porque cuando jugaba SC2 en GC lo cojia asi mismo y se me quedo la costumbre (se me hace mas comodo tambien).

Xhythyx/GJ, tu estabas en la orientación en CORA el martes? Pregunto porque creo que te reconocí, tenias gafas negras y estabas con dos muchachas la mayoría del tiempo, una parecía ser tu novia.

De todos modos si eras tu, conozco a tu novia de cuando estudiaba en el Liceo Aguadillano. Si no me equivoco se llama María, no?

Blah, I'll just end this here, it is hell of off topic.

Those dudes played HORRIBLE!!!!
Only one guy knew how to WD with Fox, the rest were a Ground-Pound abuser, a Mario maniac, some crap out of a Link, we obviously smashed the crap out of everyone who faced us, even some guy said to the other players "Advice, take on Ness", me being the Ness user, jeje!! I feel like a champ or something.

Time to stop the ranting, TOMORROW, Bubbleman and Aeon are going back to Puerto Rico, so maybe, if I have time, I'll get my cube to work and play some SSBM, since classes start on August 8(CRAP!!!), and I'll be studying and all.

Alright boys and girls, I never really post on here but even though I was at the tournament (didn't participate cuz I'm a scrub, well, I did in SC 3), I really just wanted to see Vain post the full list of who got what on the tournament. Unfortunately I had to dig through a bunch of bull****. But now thanks to Doji's enlightening toto post, I just realized why I suck so much. Congrats to the winners and to saca el pollo for running its tournament. It went really well and I think it gives the PR community a chance to enjoy all types of fighting games, not only smash.

Rod owes me some rum by the way. Had a couple "issues" at home so I had to leave a little earlier. Doji, did you guys have an after tournament drinking fest? If so, you guys suck.

Are they considered as prepas now over at the west? lol. jeje

wow, wait a sec, was my last post deleted, or am I kinda blind? Anyways, I think I learned a thing or two without playing, because I was aiming so perfectly my PK thunder 2s the other day on NintendoWorld without failing, I was amazed at my skills for a minute, well, I hope to get my cousin's GC and my Smash copy and play on the week, or instead play some Duck Hunt on my NES.

Scrubs...

Ok, so I wasen't REALLY sure of the meaning that HDL gaved to the word "scrubs"

Scrub: A person who is not good at something and has flawed views/mental obstacles on a given subject.
So I went to www.wikipedia.com and looked, so here it goes...

Scrub or scrubs may refer to:

* Scrubs (TV series), a television sitcom based on characters working in a hospital
* Scrubs (clothing), a kind of clothing designed for medical staff performing surgery
* "No Scrubs", a song by TLC on their 1999 album Fanmail
* Scrub (gaming), a video game player who loses because he is unable, or refuses, to use certain powerful characters or techniques
* First scrub, a particular member of a surgical team
* Deku Scrub, a fictional race in The Legend of Zelda
* Scrubber, an industrial gas-pollution control device
* Low-lying vegetation predominant in scrubland. See also shrub.
* To scrub audio or video content is to move the currently viewed or heard part of it backwards or forwards in order to locate something in it quickly.

Its a show, its a song, its even a game... but is not what HDL said... So next time, doe some research. And HDL, stop trying to be better than others, cuz its lame :)

For strange odd reasons this post makes me incredibly sad in the pants, if you bothered to look in a gaming website like www.sirlin.net or www.shoryuken.com your post wouldn't look as....pathetic as it came out to be.
Wikipidia is sadly very incomplete and flawed, specially about video game terms.
http://www.sirlin.net/Features/feature_PlayToWinPart1.htm
Here you go, maybe that'll help your shallow train of thought to accomodate to the term of Scrub as most of us view it, and that sad attempt at telling HDL to "research", better luck next time.

Omitachi I'm sorry but I had to do it.

BEHOLD!!!! THE AWESOME POWERS OF WIKIPEDIA!!!! AND ALL ITS COMPOUNDED KNOWLODGE FROM PEOPLE WHO KNOW **** ABOUT THE INTERNET!!! OR COMPETITIVE GAMING.

Also the term scrub was in the article, it was somewhat incorrect as the term Scrub refers to the mental obstacle, not picking the strongest characters because is "cheap" is just one of those obstacles
* Scrub (gaming), a video game player who loses because he is unable, or refuses, to use certain powerful characters or techniques.
In my own words a Scrub would be those people that halt the evolution and betterment of gaming by putting "cheap" lables and excuses rather than putting enough work to overcome such tactics. Scrubs like to use words such as cheap, dishonorable, life, girlfriend and school. Even in real life there where scrubs, in the war of independence the netherlands troops stood in a line and shot against the enemies while the americans hid behind stuff and attacked from the back using cheap and dishonorable tactics, thus they won the war with less firepower, Thats cuase they where fighting scrubs. (The story may be in no way historically acurrate or true, but it gives a good point)

My point is you buy gas at the gas station and a ***** enlargement pump at the porn shop. Don't go looking for gaming information at the church cause the preist will condemed you.

Here are a few good articles that some of you may read.
You can lead a scrub to water, but you can't make 'em think.
On Cheapness
Play to win 1
Play to win 0
Play to win 2
Play to win 3
Here are some other articles that explain terms about smash that you may be familiar with but it never hurts to read them as it may clear some doubts.
MLG’s Guide to Competitive Smash Techniques – Part 1
MLG's Guide to Competitive Smash Techniques - Part II
MLG’s Guide to Competitive Smash Part III

Thanks Omitachi for telling me about such a game. I went to wallmart and bought it. It ****ing wins! Best game ever.

Doji you never stop to amaze me. still wikipedia said that scrubs tend to lose cause he is unable, or refuses, to use certain powerful characters or techniques and it reminds me of Rum & Smash 1 when Knux told everyone that he was the only one who played smash in the right way.

By the way Vain your last post doesn't have a title and that maks me sad.


And congratulations to everyone we are getting close in reaching the 200 pages. half of tournament and smash, and half of spam.

Lord HDL said:
Sirlin, as well as us, are naíve of the concepts of the citric acid cycle at a high level. So if someone who does know about it calls us a scrub, is he flaunting any type of superiority? No, he is simply pointing out that we don’t understand those concepts at a high level, and because of that naívete we would not know what we’re talking about if we try to speak about it.
Lord HDL said:
I have no need to call someone a scrub to make myself look cool or better.
I wish people would read before posting. Who knows maybe it would decrease the trend of unnecessary posts, and prevent me from having to repeat what I said pages ago. Would you rather I just come out and say ahahahaha I’m better than you?

You don’t know much about competition. You’re SUPPOSED to try and get better than others. Else there wouldn’t be a point to competing. For real, people, you are making Kermit very sad.

Yeah but they probably'll represent the east on crew battles and stuff.

..........later
Well, that's good, since the east doesn't have much representation on the West, so there they go.

Out of topic, any plans for a eastern or central tournament? Smash of course.

I'm not on NY right now, and I won't be going back until, maybe on Christmas, anyways, I do know that N-World sucks, since you can't play as long as you want, the GCs have timers and there isn't a memory card with everything unlocked. They played so horrible, that I could PK thunder 2 them most times, while normally I don't hit or sweet-spot with it.
