As captain, I demand to know when Jordan is coming up to Anchorage.

ssbm is a pretty incredible game, is there a viable game style in brawl similar to using a move like fox's back air?

no way in hell is there anything similar to constant use of fox's back air or anything like that
in brawl. you'll just get punished if you try that because of the ridiculous shield speed and
powershielding ease.

only thing for brawl is hit-and-run or camping.

at the moment i think if melee tournaments still go on while brawl advances( and i think they will, although with far less people beacuse melee takes more overall skill then brawl )
i'll probably prefer melee tournaments.

Hey everyone! I wanted to let you all know that ALASKAGAMERS.COM and AKGL.ORG will be hosting the Alaska Gamers League on Sunday, May 25 which will hold a Super Smash Bros: Brawl tournament. The rules and tournament format is still being composed at the moment, but checkout the sites for more info if you are interested in participating.

There is a guaranteed pool of $250+ in cash/prizes for the top 3 winners of the tournament. I will be posting when we have the finalization of the rules/tournament format.

Hope to see all you Alaska gamers there... and hopefully, we can truly find out who the best "Smasher" is ;)

say that again after you fight a wolf that spams bairs intelligently

i can't believe it isnt common knowledge on smashboards that wolf's shine is the ****

i hate wifi... i think it is deconstructive to good playing since thinking tends to go unrewarded due to lag complicating execution

i dont imagine any of you have a single dual layer dvd lying around anywhere, do you?

wolf huh? well sir flisk hasn't unlocked wolf yet so i wouldn't know about this.

and even then i think anything metaknight can do beats wolf DOWN. ALL his aerials
are RIDICULOUSLY fast and some last for a while ( fair, bair )

I mean my god especially his dair and uair. insane.

yeah people say he's weak but does that really matter when you can rack up damage
SO crazy fast?

and remember meta KNIGHT has a sWORD. WOLF claws don't reach nearly as far as his
sword unless he can stretch them or something.

i thought i was going to main link or falcon or fox or ice climbers or lucas or ness or something
but now it looks like metaknight will be it. i don't care if he's overused he's so cool and fun
to use that I have to cave. or at least until i learn how to chain grab with the ice climbers.
and even then.

i was picking losers? like falcon fox lucas and sonic. then i decided to pick the KNIGHT. after that,
i won most of the matches. although they were against casual people. not like it matters since this
game is more casual like.

my goodness he's so incredible. fun, too. i just hold down A to execute his rapid jabs then he
starts- "rararararraaaa" or something while slicing SO fast. it's beautiful to watch. i just
think it's intimidating to watch him fly awound the stage swinging his sword around a million
times a second or something. his d-tilts are cool too. "shoo shaa shoo shaa shoo shaa" or his down
B "snorLAX!"

but whatever. maybe he just looks cool and he's not that good. but i think he is. or maybe he's just flashy and easy to play. because it certainly didn't take much for ME to win with metaknight.

edit

and what the devil is up with people saying metaknight is weak in the air? if anything, i would
say that he gets tougher in the air because that's where he can unleash his AERIALS like his
WOP like bair and fair. the only problem i could see with him in the air is with those that have bigger, longer swords the him( i mean range) like ike.

and ike shouldn't be a problem because he's slow.

edit

why are you asking if anybody has one of THOSE lying around? we're alaskans.

and alaska gamers you can count me out i'm not being part of some tournament where i'm going to get destroyed by snake jabs, f-tilts and the like.

As of last night, I've decided that I'm gonna make a couple changes to my character playlist...

1. Marth
2. Peach
3. Sonic
4. MetaKnight
Zelda
Fox

Marth is by far my best character, mind you. The AKGL tournament seems kind of way out of my way as it is way out of town. Even so, I will make an effort to attend.

I saw a video of Snake playing, and those a-a-a jabs are ridiculous. So is wolf's aerials closest to fox's from melee? Is shine spiking useful anymore, and can any of the shine characters still do it?

no, wolf's bair is just an example of a move that you can do strategies similar to the bair spam with because of its speed, angle, priority, and wolf's jump. i guess it isnt as good as fox's bair spam but it works all right.

shine spiking can be done, but i don't think you'll be seeing as much use of it due to generally buffed recovery. if someone sweet spots the ledge with a recovery move it is almost literally impossible to stop them. and even if you do, if they're in range of the ledge and you're grabbing onto it and roll to ledge hog, the second you input the roll command the edge becomes available again, so edge hogging strategies have changed a lot.

no one is ever on wifi, what the hell.

ha HA

yeah that's right wolf doesn't have anything on melee fox. nobody does except probably metaknight.

i think it would have been cool if past characters/ past versions of characters could be selected. so you could match past versions of characters against other versions. like melee sheik vs. any brawl fool
they would keep the hitstun of their moves and everything. hehe

it would be cool to put melee falcon vs. brawl falcon. ouch. or melee fox vs. anybody except for metakight.

and diddy "may" be not that awesome in lunaris'(alaska's) metagame but i think in the end he'll be one of the best in the end when everything is fully advanced and all everyone does is powersheild space and projectile spam.

he'll probably become one of the best along with marth wolf METAKNIGHT ice climbers( depending on how
their chaingrabs evolve, but i really am not sure) R.O.B. and Pit( of course)

and POSSIBLY snake. if only because of that jab combo and f-tilt.

and mr. wernett or warnett ( Ean) i only played john and his siblings because he has the game and i don't. he's gotten a LOT better anyways. at melee i mean. really agressive. does stuff he's never done before.

and he apparently likes melee MUCH better then brawl strangely. he says he doesn't like how slow brawl is in comparison, the edge grabbing range, and how samus is so much slower, taller, and weaker.

i would've thought brawl would've been better and funner for him yah
