That time is approaching.

so i already have genesis 2 planned out, i have my hotel room reserved and im gonna buy my plane tickets within the next couple of days. hit me up if u want in.

why miss out on this wonderful oppurtunity to travel AND stay there at a discount rate, playing AND learning pro smashers from all around the world, and enjoying the scenery and other attractions california has to offer. attractions that include: the beach, hot chicks in bikinis at the beach(we do not have this in alaska), 6flags, olive garden, in and out burger, sonics, amazing shopping complexes. but, whats that? how much is all that going to cost? well do i have GOOD news for you! all that is JUST for a little over 1000 dollars? go ahead, spoil yourself, you prolly deserve it. but remember, ticket prices are going fast! so get urs ASAP!

Well. In the coming future I most probably will be moving to Alaska. So I found this thread. And I heard something about Alaska as a state not being allowed to hold tournaments because it is seen as gambling. Is this true?


EDIT: alaska? woah. it makes alaska big and bold and red

I have no idea.

My family is either moving to Montana or Alaska. So far my parents have not released the date we are moving. Kind of...annoying.

I like melee more also. Too bad the community is dead.

@xxMooseXX

If by dead you mean one or two or three people still play, then yeah, I think it IS dead. I don't know how Brawl is. I don't really know how most things are. I'm more into traditional fighters at the moment, anyway.

Smash is pretty much Blaz status for me now, which is to say that there is probably like no chance at all of me getting back hardcore into it up here, although I still pay attention to tournaments and metagame stuff, and would like to get into tournaments one day.

Too bad for you, really. A year ago things were really active. Oh well. What CAN you do.

Attn AK smashers. I am looking for one or two of you to assist in running the Brawl tournament for this year's Senshi-Con (September 24-25 at UAA.)

Information on how to apply can be found here:
http://forums.senshicon.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=107&p=525#p525

Must be familiar with Tio and standard smash rules.

We will not be having an official Melee tournament this year---it will be replaced by Marvel vs Capcom 3---but we will have Melee friendlies and if one of you wants to run a mini-side tournament for it that's fine too; just let me know your plans.

I'd love to help, really. I think I could manage things alright and stuff & co. but as it is, I am too dumb to be of any help. Guess I'll have to pass. Ah well. What CAN you do.

Some stuff

MISCELLANEOUS
GLIDE ATTACK
hits on frame: 5
landing lag: standard landing lag; either 2 or 4 frames
shield hitlag differential: -2
shield stun: 3
optimal shield advantage: -3 hard landing | -1 soft landing
optimal shield drop advantage: +4 hard landing | +6 soft landing
And I thought I was getting cheesed when I would get hit after shielding a glide attack. Guess not. I fact, going by these numbers it seems I'm risking my life by letting a Metaknight get me to block a glide attack. I should just RUN! Block the Shuttle Loop, then roll or something. Don't play with fire.

NAIR
frame breakdown:
1-2 startup
3-4 strong hitbox out
5-25 weak hitbox out
26-31 aerial cooldown

frame summary:
Hits on frame: 3
IASA frame: 32
Aerial cooldown: 6
Landing lag: 15
Autocancels on: 25
Shield hitlag differential strong hit: 0
Shield hitlag differential weak hit: -1
Shield stun strong hit: 4
Shield stun weak hit: 1
Optimal shield advantage strong hit: -11
Optimal shield drop advantage strong hit: -4
Optimal shield advantage weak hit: -15
Optimal shield advantage weak hit: -8
*Optimal shield advantage weak hit autocanceled: -2
*Optimal shield shield drop advantage weak hit autocanceled: +5

* Note that doing this is unrealistic because of how the nair works. It would be very difficult to hit a shield with the weak hitbox and then immediately land into the ac point. You would most all the time be hitting the top area of the shield and then falling until you land.
Nothing new, but I keep forgetting how fast Nair is. Really, really, really fast. Hardly slower then Uair. Dose a lot of damage, shield pokes like a beast, and has super knockback. Crazy move.

FAIR
frame breakdown:
1-5 startup
6-7 hitbox out
8-9
10-11 hitbox out
12
13-14 hitbox out
15-39 aerial cooldown

frame summary:
1st hit on: 6
2nd hit on: 10
3rd hit on: 13
IASA frame: 40
Aerial cooldown: 25
Landing lag: 15
Autocancels on: 22
Shield hitlag differential: 0
Shield stun: 1
Optimal shield advantage: -9
Optimal shield drop advantage: -2
Only -2 on shield drop, huh? Well then. That's something to remember. Just don't be a fool and put yourself in shield grab range and you're good. Well, I suppose there's random Up Smashes and Up B's out of shield to watch out for, but other then that. Nope.
FSMASH
frame breakdown:
1-23 startup
24-25 hitbox out
26-41 cooldown

frame summary:
Hits on frame 24
IASA frame: 42
Cooldown: 17
Shield hitlag differential: 0
Shield stun: 5
Shield advantage: -12
Shield drop advantage: -5
Nothing of note here. I think we all knew how little lag it had. Still, I thought it would be more like -2 or something. -5 is enough for a Snake F Tilt.

DTILT
frame breakdown:
1-2 startup
3-4 hitbox out
5-15 cooldown

frame summary:
Hits on frame: 3
IASA frame: 16
Cooldown: 11
Shield hitlag differential: 0
Shield stun: 1
Shield advantage: -11
Shield drop advantage: -4
Well, I didn't know that. Maybe I should've. The attack is super fast. It's really too bad that Metaknight scoots forward whenever he does a D tilt. If this wasn't so his D Tilt would be like, TOO GOOD, MAN.

DSMASH
frame breakdown:
1-4 startup
5-6 hitbox out
7-9
10-11 hitbox out
12-34 cooldown

frame summary:
hits on frame 5 front and frame 10 back
IASA frame: 35
Cooldown front: 28
Cooldown back: 23
Shield hitlag differential: 0
Shield stun front: 4
Shield stun back: 4
Shield advantage front: -25
Shield drop advantage front: -18
Shield advantage back: -20
Shield drop advantage back: -13
It pains me to see people get hit by strings of Metaknight Down Smashes. As you can see, it's super unsafe. Just drop that shield and whopp him good if you happen to block one. Front hit, back hit, it doesn't matter. Just POW! Right in the kisser.

Ummm oh right.

Dudenado is incredibly good. I really hate using it, but that's just a habit I have to rid myself of.
Oftentimes it is his best/safest/whatever way of applying pressure and stuff. Some characters have a harder time dealing with this move then other characters, obviously. Like.....mmmm. I think Dedede can't really do much against the tornado. And I'm just talking straight zooming all the way across the stage with tornado. Snake, Falco, Diddy, blargh blargh blargh all put a stop to that but Lord Duck? Tough. I think.

Nothing you didn't know. Shuttle Loop+Tornado. You don't need any other specials, really.

LATER d00ds.

Total: 23
Hit: 5-11
IASA: 23

Shield Stun: 11
Shield Hit Lag: 5

This uptilt is ****in amazing, covers his entire back AND head and comes out relatively fast, and the hitbox is almost as big as his character model. kills floaties at 120, and it can clink with the falcon punch as well. Prolly his 3rd best move. 1st being his shine, 2nd being his laser.




also, ive realized that i have a collection of awesome smash related quotes, so ima put one down every time i post.

"do you know who Jman is?"
"NO, you did NOT just beat Jman, bull****"
"i beat his shiek..."
"oh... k... cuz his fox is really good."
