Actually maybe not tomorrow. Probably Tuesday.

 

[_Keno_]

Is the tomorrow you guys are talking about today or monday? My smashboards clock is off by a good bit.

 

[Saki-]

Well George was talking about tomorrow as in Monday
Jason, Mslano, and myself are smashing today
Interested?

 

[j00t]

Are we playing the same game? It's no ALttP or Link's Awakening, but it has so much charm, the lack of difficulty so far is a non-issue. The game doesn't seem to be designed behind the console philosophy of Zelda. It's a really pick up and play for a few minutes, put it away for a bit, get to the next area, beat the next room in the dungeon. Don't try to blaze through it.

Also, I want to play. Tomorrow might work.

It is pretty much exactly the same as Phantom Hourglass. There's a central location you have to return to after you beat a temple, the travel method is pretty much a boat on land, and everything else is the same.

I don't hate the game, I just can't tell if I'm playing Spirit Tracks or Phantom Hourglass sometimes. :/

Yea I'm bored xD

 

[Saki-]

So yea looking at controllers from both the sites J00T referred me to and

From play-asia.com
White GC Controller (Improved buttons according to consumers)
for $24
$10 shipping and handling

From Nintendo-online
Platnium GC Controller
for $24
Possible shipping and handling?

Either way this is going to cost me some money lol so I'm probably going to use some of my tournament funds and buy this ;P

._. because I need a new controller

 

[j00t]

I'd go with the white one.

 

[Saki-]

I was thinking the white one too

even though it costs more I just wanna have it.
Plus it has a longer cord than the average ones, ;D and smoother button control.

*puts on list*

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I recommend someone bring a wii when they come over.

Mine hasn't been working all week. I'm getting mad rusty ;_;


Also, I play a good Diddy. I can help with the matchup, but can someone PLEASE help me to fight Olimar? He's been my bane since Brawl came out.

 

[Saki-]

no seriously. who the **** wants to go to final round with me?

Slam read this

If we want smash at that tournament, we all need to contribute and just say we're interested. It's not like we're paying. Or so Dogy stated.

I'll bring mine, but make sure someone else brings theirs I wouldn't want everyone to bank on me and me not bring mine lol. ._.

Uh I can pick him and use cstick and whatnot.
xD It's not going to help you beat Dan but hey it's something.

 

[Duchock]

Olimar is simple. Push him off the side of the stage and grab the ledge.


Back me up on this Dan Gee-aRr.



Also, get the white controller. They are so much better and worth the few extra bucks. I bought one and never looked back, mostly because the controllers I had before were second hand anyway. Which reminds me, Kevin. You still have one of them. It has a broken c-stick, that's all I remember about it. Not like I care about it anyway.

 

[eagletrent242]

My bro ordered me a white GC controller for Christmas but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm mad psyched about getting rid of the one one I've used since Gamecube was released.

 

[Saki-]

Hmm alright so I'm not making a dumb buy ;D

Ok so yea, who's leaving to Zero's place right now? Slano? CHEAP?

 

[j00t]

I really want to play Smash sometime soon. Hurry up mslano xD

 

[Xeedoc]

That reminds me, my controller I've been using was a friend's who I thought I'd never see again.
I saw him the other day at a friend's house where I played some melee.
I'm stuck with a madcatz which it's a and b buttons are stuck. It's usable, but yea...

Who's your main?

There is going to be a Play N Trade tourney for Brawl in Huntsville on February 20th.

It's like playing a different game.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I main everyone, but I mostly use Lucario, TL, MK, Diddy, Sonic, G&W, and Pokemon Trainer.

 

[Saki-]

.-. so yea I cant go today

I dunno guys x.x it's like I'm being told not to smash anymore.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Every single time, Kola...

 

[shaSLAM]

this is where you discover the acr of rebellion.

 

[eagletrent242]

You mean art? It has to be mastered.

They swore they would let me go during the week
SWORE

If they go back on this then.......they're really lame.

TUESDAY I WILL BE THERE
WILL BE THERE

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I'm pretty sure I'm not going Diddy or Falco yet, but they do show promise. I've only played Diddy for a single day and I acknowledge that he's capable of all sorts of stupid stuff.

Falco is fun and I mess around with him from time to time, but mine isn't very good.

 

[DMG]

play as Dedede so I can CG you back as Wario.

wat

I must be out of the loop.

Sounds like you're giving me a good reason to go back to my original main.

 

[Saki-]

I mean regardless it's going to be a character I'll have to learn

I've played alot of PTs online xD although I'm sure you'll still two stock me or something

 

[shaSLAM]

dude that cg on ddd is soooo not legit...

He's talking about that d-throw chaingrab that doesn't work

 

[mslano]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make my other characters play as well as my Roy does?

I was doing stuff with him today that almost made Zero quit playing. Example: Grab (at 0%) > Forward Throw > Tech Chase Forward B (Forward, Forward, Down) > Jumping Neutral B > Falling Neutral B > Immediate Up B to Edge Hog.

I can't help but imagine if I could pull off the same caliber of combo with say, Peach or Falco. That would be devastating.

Maybe I should just main Roy.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

Buffered Boosted Dthrow CG.

Still a fairly new discovery. Exact details are not complete. It is confirmed that Dedede, for at least some length of damage, cannot spotdodge/escape this when done correctly. How long this CG lasts/when it can start is not known, nor how staleness affects it (like it affects most of his CG's). Based on the trajectory of Dedede's path, I am looking into whether or not this works on Snake and Metaknight as well. Snake I have a hunch it will work on. Metaknight I am less certain of.

No, it's not what you thought.

perhaps because you
1) don't put enough practice into the other characters
2) don't put the right kind of practice to other characters
***a) have limited scope of vision for combos since you don't put in the right kind of practice
******i) therefore, when you play a character you are unfamiliar with, you can create flowing combos since you're just experimenting.
if 2 is true, then
3) watch the better players to see what you should be doing to combo or approach or handle situations so they lead to combos.

 

[mslano]

I think the main thing is that playing Roy just feels right (which it has since I first picked him up after playing friendlies with a Roy player at MELEE-FC). Since everything I do in this game is based on feel (rather than precise, practiced motions), Roy always seems to do well for me, even though I haven't played with him for the past two years as much as I've played with other characters.

It's not even about combos (that example was just what I thought of because Zero was so upset right after it). Everything I do with Roy is better than with other characters, whether it be DI, tech chasing, shield pressure, or spacing. If the skill I had doing Roy stuff could be transferred into doing Ganon stuff or Peach stuff or Falco stuff or Marth stuff, that would be pretty fantastic.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Lol DMG, that Dthrow buffer CG does NOT work on D3.

If you have the frame data and video to prove me wrong, please do so.

What you are seeking is going to come mostly from character experience. I think it is safe to say that you are most experienced with Roy based on the times we have played together (nohomo).

Just play Falco and Peach more. If there is some technical aspect that you aren't consistent with yet, then practice that. That's pretty much all I can say. :/

Just put a LV6 Fox on FD and practice combos I guess.

EDIT: Disregard this post if you aren't talking about combos. >_>;

 

[j00t]

No, it's not what you thought.

I was somewhat right. >_>;

The last one had 5 ppl and was canceled, but it wasn't really advertised. I'm betting on this one having 10-15 entrants.

 

[Saki-]

.-. thats looking like the outcome of our Vestavia ones. Seems nice though, good to see we're trying to kick Spring season's beginning with a ton of tournaments.

Hmm that would be
6th possible tourney.
