I keep thinking I see Victor at the uni but I don't know if it's actually him or a different asian >_>

Hey, welcome to the Alberta Thread.
I'm probably a bad person to do introductions because I'm still fairly new, but whatever.

Anyway, if you live in Edmonton, there's a Brawl tournament today. Check the Tournament Listings forum for more details, but I think it starts at 12:00 or something. If you live in Calgary, Brawl is practically dead, but there will be a tournament sometime this year. If you live in none of the above, Fort Saskatchewan and Lethbridge have semi-smash scenes.

In terms of wifi, I believe only KillLock and Hansel34 play on a consistent basis (which may or may not be consistent now that school has started), and Alphicans also plays wifi. I think those guys are the only ones in Alberta that play online.

Most people in this thread know each other quite well, but don't be intimidated! Also, try to attend tournaments and smashfests in your area to get to know the community better (if you want to, lol). They're fun (and safe), and I just went to my first smashfest this summer. If you're in Calgary, maybe we'll meet sometime. If you're not, I hope you become an active member of Alberta smash! =D

 

[Hansel34]

Dragonz also plays wi-fi?

Also, I haven't played in a bit, tooo muchhh hwwwwwwww.

But yeh....

 

[xXx-NoobKing-xXx]

Elly Tran!!! <3

 

[ruhtraeel]

...I was once melee'd in a game of lasertag.

EDIT:
Alright I want your guys' opinions, Fox vs Falco?

 

[Dragonz7]

Falco!!!!1

 

[victra♥]

LOOOOL David. You would.

Falco ***** Fox imo

 

[ruhtraeel]

LOOOOL David. You would.

Falco ***** Fox imo

...but overall, who ***** MORE?!?! :-D

Oh, unless you meant Falco ***** Fox at ****** other characters.

IMO Fox is faster and stronger, while Falco is more adaptable, easier to use, and combos better.

BTW to make ourselves feel good, to all smashers who can SH with Fox consistently (which should me most of us hopefully), we can feel good that we are able to press X/Y in 1/30th of a second.

 

[Tyson651]

55/45 if not 50/50

falco/fox imo

 

[ruhtraeel]

How bout in general, which is the better char?

 

[victra♥]

probably fox. I know I'd be way more comfortable playing against most of the cast as Fox as opposed to Falco

Fox's hardest match up is like, Falco. But Fox does better against Marth, Sheik, Jiggs (especially Jiggs), and Peach which Falco usually has problems with since he gets gimp ***** a lot easier, and can't kill floaties very well.

 

[ruhtraeel]

True; Falco > fast fallers, but floaties are annoying to deal with, unless you got platforms to help you. But why are there so many more Falcos doing well than Foxes in tourneys?

I should reword it:

Which is the better character? Falco or Fox?

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

there's a lot of foxes getting ***** by falcos. uh, fox is the better character in terms of matchups, but falco ***** fox.

 

[Alphicans]

I have no problem vsing falco as fox. I think fox wins the match-up.

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

tyler doesn't count luke

 

[victra♥]

lolololooololololoolo

 

[Crusayer]

I've gotten ***** by every fox main player in edmonton :D

 

[Alphicans]

tyler doesn't count luke

Lol. I've played Carl's falco a few times as fox, and it has never seemed overwhelming. I also 3-0'd crusayer's falco at shiro's place, and he has a pretty good falco.

 

[t3h Icy]

= o

 

[Stevo]

Fox used to beat falco with full hop Nairs and stuff, but nowadays falcos crouch cancel shine everything, so Fox should be grabbing, except this is made difficult with lasers.

 

[Sraigux]

Falco has horrible recovery, shine spike him once and he's dead.

I mean that sounds pretty black and white. But it also means falco can combo you 'til 100% till he gets ya. But fox can just waveshine falco to the edge and gimp him early.

 

[victra♥]

falco spawns at kill percent

 

[ruhtraeel]

So a lot of people think Falco > Fox in 1 v 1, but in terms of overall, I think Falco's are higher up in tourney results just cause it's easier to approach, to defend, to switch between the two, and to follow up on combos. More leeway for error I guess (not in terms of recovery or being knocked off, but that should be harder cause of lasers n stuff)

There's a stickied thread about it in the Falco section, going over combo potential, grabs, aerials, etc etc.

 

[Sraigux]

Also fox can kinda put his lazors to shame. His speed is high enough to make them situational.

 

[Alphicans]

Unless you're godly technical, fox cannot waveshine falco.

 

[ruhtraeel]

Unless you're godly technical, fox cannot waveshine falco.

Lol yeah, I can only waveshine the fattest of fat and heavy/high traction characters (Bowser, DK, etc)

Fox has more guaranteed one-two punches than Falco, which usually accounts for his wins against Jiggs and stuff.
AKA Drillshine-upsmash, jab-upsmash, upthrow-upair, extreme camping, shine-gimping. Harder to set up for stuff, but guaranteed if you do.
While Falco only has his downair/shine-downair. A lot of stuff is easier to set up, but harder to actually kill them once it's going.

 

[FalseFalco]

I prefer the fox side of the matchup.

I seem to remember lukes fox was pretty good at being anti-falco, but I don't think you've been camped super hard yet luke. Playing BC falcos with fox is different
