So there's this game, maybe you've heard of it. It's called SSBM and people say it is pretty good. We should get together and try it out.

Hmm. So I wikied it, and it says it's pretty much the best game. Yeah, we should try it.
Delphiki and I should be free tomorrow.
(I think a lot of people are busy with finals right now! At least, that's my best guess for this sudden lull in activity here.)

Yeah, finals are taking up a lot of my time, as well as personal stuff, so I haven't been free lately. :/
Plus, my transportation has been gone, so I haven't been able to travel.
I wish I could play with you tomorrow, DRGN, but alas, I am busy. V_V

Yep!
Glad you asked! There are two types: g-type, and b-type.
g-type invincibility negates damage, knockback, etc, for the defending character, but still counts a hitbox as having 'connected', and will give the attacker hitlag. Examples of g-type: respawning, and the first 8 frames of throws.
b-type however, doesn't register hits at all (so you can still get hit by the hitbox once your invincibility wears off, and there's no hitlag). Examples of b-type: dodging/rolling, ledge manuevers, and briefly in some moves like Jigg's Rest, Sheik's Up-B, shine, etc.
Lol idk if that counts. ...Hmm, so then does that mean Lip's Stick gives negative invincibility?

sup
yeah andre is right i can't come back anymore
i can't request days off until ive been working there for a year (i dont plan on working there for longer than a year so yeah thats out of the question)
just ask somebody to add you to the central cali group on fb, you can get into contact with stockton smashers there. vincent aka meep is probably the best player there right now, seeing as how darkmike is rusty x10

Yeah. TAG Monthlies usually run every month (next one is June 16th), and those are run by Seris and company. And I run the For Great Justice monthly (the next one will be sometime in late June, most likely the 23rd). The link for TAG is here and once I update the FGJ thread for the next tournament, I will link it.

Hey GGs, btw, Aron. Was fun! If we had been recording you could've had another Aron combo on YouTube.

Sup guys. I would love to get in on some melee action soon. I've been jonsin' for a good forever long sesssion.
I still absolutely want to get training in for all you guys as well. Basically, I just want everyone to learn how to practice. To help me not have to type a lot, here's a great post from a musician website about practicing (music but it still applies to melee).
http://www.bulletproofmusician.com/how-many-hours-a-day-should-you-practice/
In a nutshell: practice smart. Don't work on things you can already do and try to perfect them, that's dumb. Work on things that you notice you suck at. If something is hard for you to do, don't evade it, don't say you don't need to learn it, just stop being a sissy in denial and find out how to do that thing you normally can't do, what your problem is, and work out that problem.
A good example would be waveshine/jc shining after hitting your opponent with the shine. I can't tell you how many countless times I had this issue. I first had to ask myself the question, "Why does this keep happening!!!??". As it turns out, my timing was off with the jump after the shine. You can generally jc or wavedash out of a shine very fast, as long as you're not hitting the opponent. With the hit lag generated from landing a hit, it takes a few more frames until a response can be read from any other button, unlike when you waveshine/jc without hitting someone. I was basically moving my hands as if I wasn't hitting anyone with the WS/JCS, even when I was hitting someone with the shine lol. To solve this dilemma, I went into training mode and practiced slowing down my WS/JCS so that it looked horrendously slow, proceeded to increase my speed incrementally until I got to the point where I wasn't able to do a WS/JCS anymore, then went back a step to the last time I could do it flawlessly, and DELIBERATELY practice the feeling for this timing over and over till I felt comfortable doing it by myself.
THE NEXT STEP was incorporating it into ACTUAL gameplay. Your brain thinks differently when you're practicing by yourself vs when you're practicing with someone. Anytime I had a chance to perform a WS/JCS, I did. I was less focused on winning (winning teaches you nothing) and was more focused on getting that feeling I had in practice into actual gameplay. Eventually I was able to perform it flawlessly 95% of the time and was able to incorporate it into my playstyle.
Definitely read that article, it will help you learn how to practice and help you improve your game 10 fold.
PRACTICE SMART SACRAMENTO!
I hope to play all of you soon.

Good!!!
Just keep in mind while you practice those ledge cancels, think about the technical aspects needed and the situations you'll be using them in.
The concept for ledge cancel is simple enough; use your momentum to carry you off the platform thus canceling whatever aerial you are performing.
Make sure you practice in as many situations and variations as possible. Standing on a platform in just the right spot and then performing the necessary actions to ledge cancel over and over again is pointless. Try leading into the cancels by running from the ground then performing an attack straight through, practice them backwards and forwards, try going from the top platform to the furthest edge of the platform you plan on canceling on, do it from shield, practice from a dead standstill, basically practice as many things as you possibly can concerning ledge canceling.
Find out what's the most difficult thing about ledge canceling for you and fix it! Is it hard and you're getting frustrated? Take a chill pill, take a break, and get right back into it.
The goal is to have a good feeling for ledge canceling from any situation so that you can perform it effortlessly in game. Imagine only being able to do the ledge cancel in specific situations. Your opponent is going to pick up that you can only do it in so-and-so situation and read you like a book.
Your aim should be to have an arsenal of techniques and tactics for any given situation allowing you to mixup your game and be as unpredictable as possible. The biggest threat to any smasher is predictability. All the tech skill in the world will do nothing for you if you can't apply it practically in game.
I'll keep my responses more stinted from now on but I'll check the thread constantly (I quit facebook LOL) to see if you guys have any questions or want me to check out any of your vids.
PRACTICE SMART!
Facebook is freeeeeeee
I'm probably going to try to get some of my matches recorded at the next tournament I go to (which should be this Sunday), so if I have some, I'll ask for some critique.
Thanks for all the help, NK. :D
EDIT: WELP, LOOKS LIKE I WON'T BE GOIN' ON SUNDAY... unless I get a ride... which is looking increasingly unlikely...
