Because door fee scares off the majority of players who don't think they'll win money, whereas pot **** only makes the ones who think they'll win upset...

:colorful:
man...pot **** sucks., but thats so flawless in logic...

they should reduce it to like 10-15% then. I mean, its taken from both singles and doubles, so 10-15% from each would be fine, right? plus, it'd be lower than what it is now (i actually forgot what it is now)

i dont think i'll ever win money at gigs in singles though. I have a tendency to get 9th in every tourney i go to :urg:

I think the only reason they take so much out is, because they are using up a lot of the place's space for our tourney, so they are losing their normal business!!!

I agree personally that door fee's are better for bigger payouts, but someone would have to speak to Cecil about it!!!

What about my ddd?

random people randomly going meta knight doesnt tend to work vs ddd's that know the matchup.
the "easily exploitable" things aren't so easy to exploit anymore.
best to stick with your main and learn the matchup.
its ur main, u wont learn that matchup faster with any other character.

I kind of agree with Seibrik.

It reminds me of people who feel MK is so good that they need to use MK to counter MK, which I don't think is true (I believe Snake counters MK 55:45). Snake/DK/Diddy/Falco/Yoshi, IMO, are MK's top five hardest matchups, so those characters are ideal for fighting MK with if you want to pick up a secondary who isn't MK to fight MK. I picked up DK to combat MK and nowadays I can do fine against good MKs with DK (same with Snake, who I'm good at fighting with MK but DK has the better edge). I'm also good at MK dittos but I have an easier time and way more fun fighting MKs with DK. Anyone who has a 4/6 disadvantage or better ratio against MK is good enough though if you ask me (6/4 isn't THAT bad, imagine what people with mid tier or lower characters have to go through with their matchups).

However I also think it's good to pick up a secondary if you main a character who has real terrible matchups vs certain characters, like DK vs DDD, so if you feel you want to use MK against DDD, then that's fine. I personally think MK can do good vs DDD, however, assuming you main Kirby, I think Kirby can do fine against a DDD, so as I've said before, I agree with Seibrik that you should learn the matchup with Kirby, since I don't think it's a ****-up-the-*** matchup. Heck I originally wanted to use different characters to counter GW and ROB because I HATED fighting those two with MK, but I decided to learn the matchup with MK anyway as I got better and I can do real good against those two now.

Of course if you want to use MK against DDD anyway then that's fine by me. :)

i'll see what i can do. the problem is that ddd's grab range and attack range is too long. i can't even get close to him without getting hit the the hammer and lets not forget his aerials and the stupid waddle dees. kirby's range isn't thta good either. i'll see what i can do, but i hate facing a fat character that i believe is broken. either way, i'll see...

ill MM you with my GW mr. fenrir

id actually prefer diddy, but your sig says you only accept those 5-6 chars
no no no...

my sig says I'm cocky against those characters....people get to complaining about them being broken...and I'm really not scared of any of them...


when I ask for a MM, I'm not limiting it to only certain matchups

So basically, I'd like to see your Diddy... GW is good too, if you want. but that's completely your call. : )

We do need to play more.. you're mad fun.




Tommy G: if you come to this, I'd really like to play you some. I know you don't take MMs, but I'd like some matches...

Personally, I don't care how much. $1-5 We'll get more matches than just that, I hope.


EDIT: I want Tommy to come because I just.... like Falco. : )

Retro, DDD isn't really a bad match up for Kirby. Just play patient and don't rush in with aerials or you'll get shield grabbed.

IMO Kirby doesn't even have any "bad" match ups in this game.

Friendship MM?

If I win, you have to not hate me anymore!

I'm so sad :(.
For some reason, I can see you CPing Pikachu in our friendship MM.... xD

I never hated you, John. I'm not like that.

Hold a Brawl fest on a weekday other than Friday, and I'll come if I can... I don't know if I can really do any more Fenrir Fests, though.. : /

yea i guess you're right. its just hard to get in close range with him. especially with ddd and his hammer and waddle dees. if you got any tips, i'd really appreciate it.

kirbies worst matchup, and its pretty bad, is G&W.


believe it.
yea it is. i hate fighting him. maybe i'll use pikachu against him instead.

Also a very bad matchup. Try Marth. It's an even matchup if you play really campy and up B out of shield a lot (and side B out of shield on the laggier moves).

And counter that bair everytime you see it. You don't predict the bair, you wait until you see the bair and then counter on reaction.

i hate marth. i think he's the 2nd gayest character in the game (with ddd being the 1st.) and i never really liked him. i thought that roy shouldve returned, not him. but thats beside the point. i know he can counter it game and watch's turtle and other attacks, but i don't use him. i'm gonna have to see how i can work with kirby and pikachu to deal with game and watch and every other broken character (that fat penguin). but thanx for the advice though. i'll have to figure this out on my own.

If you knew anything about the amazingness of Roy and the gayness of Marth at all then you'd understand why it should have happened.

<3 Gabe

*troll troll troll*
quoted for truth. that aside, i'll find a way around that fat penguin and game and watch.
