626 / Pasadena Area Smash: Unleashing Your Inner Robert

[iankobe]

626! Wake up!

Who's down to play?!

 

[baka4moé]

i am on occasion, pm me ur number and we can try to work something out!

 

[iankobe]

Cool.

I'll PM when I'm free. Maybe you can help me brush up my game.

 

[channlsrfr]

Dang, man! It's been more than a month since the last post? What has happened to the 626?! Lol, I'm such a hypocrite.

I've been Jonesing for some Melee again lately. Weeknights (Fridays included, generally) are best for me. Anybody wanna play sometime? I'll be happy to travel, since I would probably try to limit my exposure to 2 hours at a time -- this game is crack to me.

So, I've been off this thread for about 2 years and just started updating myself on the developments in the world of Melee ... Sung, that is badass that you've got these Kings of Cali tournaments happening here. I'll definitely help out with the next one. Don't know if I wanna do all-day, but I can be there the first half of the day and bring a setup (if necessary) and recording equipment -- might be cool if people wanna record their money matches or something.

626!!

 

[Jonny Westside]

Yooooo anything going on? Project M players where you at!

 

[LooksLikePit]

Hey so I wanna start playing melee for fun again, and I live in Altadena. I can't host anything but I can take the bus to you. Anybody want to play? I'm a decent player.

 

[Inty17]

I just got home from college. Smashfest? Anywhere? Please?

 

[Sleepy]

Actually, I started playing again, lol funny that Ian started too. I'll host something small soon, hopefully get to know the new Melee/64 players in 626 soon.

 

[shadrach kabango]

I'm open to training anyone who's willing to improve and come to me.

[baka4moé]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

hi 626

 

[Inty17]

Sup Baka :D Come visit.

 

[SacaSuMoto]

I suggest you guys talk to BAM, Brandon Martin, and ask if you can use the Mayhem venue for smashfests. The days leading up to the first Mayhem there were a few of us going there to play smash it was pretty chill. Pasadena is decently close to the venue and i'm sure others will show up to it too.

 

[Sleepy]

hmm, that's a good idea, I'll see if I can attend a few of these tournies (at the venue) in the future. I haven't met anyone yet to be able to even consider asking. Thanks for the info!

 

[thatspoetry]

I want to become a pro player. I want to train myself and with others and help them with the methods I have learned. My stuff is based on psychology emphasis of training in its method. It doesn't take a lot it but surely takes the drive and time and commitment. I live in Fontana but am usually around Pasadena during the week. I can be ready to practice most days.

My characters are Link, Game and Watch, Kirby all for Melee. I don't play anything else other than Melee.

I used to be pro level but quit after whatever stuff happened. I have enough memory muscle to not suck but still have a long way to go especially from my past level. I wanted to go to Worlds so there's that.

Please message me and friend me here so we can hit things up. I'll see you around

 

[Sleepy]

Hmm, I'll check my schedule next week and ask ruiner to come over see if we can get you both here. Possibly next week? dunno heh

Loooool, you'll never be pro level playing those characters

 

[thatspoetry]

Loooool, you'll never be pro level playing those characters

It's the player that makes most of the meta. Starfox and a handful of characters that happen to be more accessible to players and certain mechanics are obvious exceptions. I'd rather play and lose going with characters I love then something everyone plays just to win. How do you think Peach got her debut? A top player happened to make it popular. He merely adapted the game within whatever character he wanted. Then there's plenty of other people who played it but simply didn't master it. Go figure.

 

[shadrach kabango]

Peach was great long before Armada. Pink Shinobi. Cort. Vidjo.

I'd bet $5 that I can four-stock your Link, G&W and Kirby. -shrugs-

You went from "I'm going to be a pro" to "I'd rather lose with characters I love." Big difference.

If you're associated with this thread then I'm kind of done with its associates but I doubt it since you seem to be following me around the website. You've caught me in a terrible mood for me to even be speaking so abrasively. The only thing I got to say other than arguing the particulars and content of my sentences is that I will try hard with what I love. It's about the game itself not the win. I have the win to look forward to and those whom I might befriend. You apparently wish to object to that though I forgive you and don't see why we can't get along. Yes I wish to be pro and yes even the professional players lose. I see no differentiated context since it's all part of the game. You can 4 four stock me now I'm sure but I will learn. You just gave me incentive to train to the point of bringing people like you off their words and into action. All of which can be proven with a match. Thank you for that. I need all the motivation necessary. I'll see you around.

 

[shadrach kabango]

This game has winning and losing built within the framework. Try all you might but you cannot separate the 'W' or the 'L' from this game.

 

[Sleepy]

As much as I'd hate to agree with P, It's truth.

Still I can't hate the ideals of thatspoetry.

I just think that people should stick with one character, otherwise it's improbable that they'll ever get better (considering they aren't already godlike).

 

[UGCgamer]

[iankobe]

OMG. Everyone in the 626 let's meet up! Host a small smashfest or something. I missed those good ol' days of smash.

And P, I so remember playing with all ya'll back then.

 

[festizzio]

Definitely looking to start seriously practicing and improving, just starting to get back into the game and looking for decent people to smash with. I live in Monterey Park, but my place is pretty small so I'd prefer to drive somewhere else. Usually weekends are the best time, looking for something this weekend since I don't see any tournaments going on (unless they're hidden). I play Marth and a little bit of Fox.

Anybody down to host a smashfest?

heh you're festizzio the pika main? remember playing with me at pat's house a few years ago?

Also Ian, I'm down to host a fest probably next week.

Anyone got time during the week? I'll check what days I work next week if you guys are free.

 

[festizzio]

Yup, played Pikachu for a long time, but I can never get a good mindset with him so I switched to Marth a while ago. Seems to be working out a lot better already. I'm free at night on Tuesdays/Thursdays if you're down to play then. I work during the week, so weekends are definitely the best time.

 

[L33thal]

Yo I live in Monterey Park and I'm looking for people to play with. I've only played a handful of matches against people who can SHFFL and everything and I'm tired of getting jabbed by Lvl 9s. Anyone down to play? I'm also going to the next Mayhem (unless I get overwhelmed by tests).

I'm down. Can you host at your place? I'm in Temple City now.

 

[L33thal]

Uh, I can't host. Do you know a place where we can play at?

 

[Sleepy]

I can host, soon. Maybe on the 20th, I'll give confirmation soon if I can. IF you guys aren't busy Easter Sunday too, let me know.

 

[iankobe]

Someone needs to host!
