Ninetails? Forgive the naruto reference

That might be what he named himself after.

This wasn't out yet...

Maybe this?

I doubt it though.





Huzzah, pictures!

 

[GDX]

im guessing ga-rei zero is an anime i should be watching?

 

[strawhats]

I actually sat down and watched mr. R's videos. I don't enjoy watching brawl vids usually, but damn that guy's marth is sexy. I'm actually interested to see how he handles American Diddys/MKs/Olimar.

Good stuff Ramin.

 

[DJ Arcatek]

Souten is coming to this too?


Mad legit.

 

[Mike2]

Tell 9b he can only come if he uses IC lol

 

[Keitaro]

So 9B is pronounced Kyuubi which means Ninetails. Interesting.

 

[Pitzer]

That is interesting.

 

[t3h Icy]

So for Brawl there's Mew2King, Ally, Gluttony, Mr-R, Rain, Brood, 9B, Nietono, and a ridiculous amount of other powerhouse players.

I think whichever Brawl player wins Apex should be declared the world champion! :D

 

[Keitaro]

The plan is the same as the last Apex.

The Japanese or Europeans beat Ally and M2K, DEHF beats everyone else :D

 

[DewDaDash]

Wow. I never traveled for an OOS tourney b4. I may just for this. With 9B's appearance, that's a definite must. Not to mention 69$ for one way isnt bad at all.

 

[Mike2]

So many potential hype matchups.

Not just with USA but also Europe vs Japan for example

Good stuff Ramin.

It's so painful to fight against with any character that isnt completely mobile...oh look, i main ike TT_TT

So many potential hype matchups.

Not just with USA but also Europe vs Japan for example

i know, such hype. but its a real shame UK might as well not be represented at all :L

I'm not in my slump though. It's over for everyone (cept M2K)

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

I got this :D

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Totally referring to 9B as Ninetails from now on.

Actually no I'm not.

 

[Zankoku]

Well, considering the number 9 is in the name, and "tail" is "bi", it's really not as big of a stretch as some of you seem to think.

As for the kyuubi itself, it has its roots in ancient Japanese lore, not random anime series.

Alex Strife: "just got told by Rain 9 people are coming to apex from japan...HOLY CRAP!!!!"

 

[Mekos]

[Zankoku]

lol, how is that a rumor?

 

[Mekos]

Thanks.

[Saffy]

I should be there... HYPE.
So if anyone wants to money match me I will accept no matter how good you are. But no more than $2, unless you are a player I really want to play! <3

Also how can we raise money for Suinoko or 9b to go? I'd love to see them there.

Alex Strife: "just got told by Rain 9 people are coming to apex from japan...HOLY CRAP!!!!"

On MSN he told me that Rain, Nietono, Kakera, Otori, 9B, Ocean, Selcia, Yukke and Karamity are going.

 

[Zephynazo]

Where is Broooooood?

He HAS to be there!

Get Masashi as well ;O

 

[Mew2King]

im not really hyped for smash anymore. no one ever cares when I win (example: gen2, or any huge tourneys I win no one ever cares at all) so im not hyped for this at all because of it. sorry

 

[Wake]

People would be super hyped if you won Melee!

 

[Cherished Doll]

im not really hyped for smash anymore. no one ever cares when I win (example: gen2) so im not hyped for this at all because of it. sorry

I like it when u win

 

[GimR]

stop being a baby. You shouldn't rely on others for your own inspiration. That won't get you anywhere. You need to find something to inspire you that can't be taken from you. Plus you play with the campiest style I've ever seen. When you're losing mentally/getting out smarted by an opponent you start camping and out charactering them. That's why people don't like it when you win. It has nothing to do with you personally.

I do hate it when people cheer for OOC over you though. :/

 

[Mew2King]

It doesn't matter how many big events I win in past 3 years nobody ever cares at all, especially recently. Even with a USA tag they were more hyped for me to lose than win. so I hope I get *****

@ gimr - it's just unhype for me, you can't possibly understand. I don't have any brawl goals left. Every time I win people just either don't care or complain about MK or say to ban him or complain about how I play or something. Read the comments on this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2zn8vA8zxw

edit - just so u know, I 3 stocked adhd last weekend by playing aggressively the whole set. I just did this to prove a point that I could **** by playing aggro, even though it is less effective than camping. Playing to win for me in brawl is just playing super campy (even though I don't always do better this way). So basically, I'm not allowed to play how I want or people complain about me or MK or something. Any tricks I make up they ban (effective planking, scrooging, ways to minimize ledge grabs or time out, Dair camping, defensive tricks, option covering) everyone's response to anything i do is just "ban MK" so how can I possibly be hyped about this. Can you really expect me to be hyped when that is all people ever say.

 

[GimR]

I understand that. When you get good though, you're going to be in the public light and you're automatically going to get haters. Ken had it worst then you. He didn't lose a single tournament for like 3 years. Everyone wanted him to lose since it's hype to see the under dog win. It's nothing personal. Ken took it in stride and kept a straight face. Plus it was melee, so him winning was entertaining. You camping for 30 minutes is not entertaining.

 

[weon - X]

pull a mango, sandbag for a year.

 

[stingers]

yea if u want people to start rooting for u again u have to start playing entertaining lol. and even then it will take time, dont expect it to happen overnight. do hype **** and ****

 

[EPsilon933]

Forget Brawl

Play Melee

 

[Wake]

Or just forget about people not caring and own everyone.

 

[EPsilon933]

Or just forget about people not caring and own everyone.

It's kind of hard to forget constant booing at you

 

[Mew2King]

don't compare me to Ken. I beat Ken at MLG and Oc3 and he gave me no credit, and he rooted against me in the sets I played at both OC3 and Super champ combo. At super champ combo, I challenged him to a 50 dollar money match of marth dittos, or sheik vs marth, or fox vs marth, and he responded to me with "I don't need to prove anything I already proved I'm the best" since he won evo world (when I had mango round like 2 or 3, still with a jiggs weakness) even though I did much better than him the previous and current tournament at that time and wanted to continue to test myself against him and others. He went online and said he was the best marth because of that and wouldn't even accept my challenge. That guy is a douche.

I camp cuz it's the most effective way to play, even though usually when I'm confident and aggressive I do better half the time (such as this past weekend). but camping is just more dominant, unless you can run and shield like ally and react with 0.01 second reaction time to what everyone is doing and punish it. I'm sorry brawl happens to be like that. "playing to win" just gets people to say I'm either gay or to ban my char, that's all I ever ever hear, and that's why I can't be hyped until I lose so that I can have a rematch. I know completely how mango feels (about people not caring for a long while unless he lost) and how hbox feels (about people always booing him).

 

[stingers]

lol u vs brood game 1 was hype as hell cuz u DOMINATED him, noone was really cheering AGAINST u then it was mostly just like...woah ****. but then u started getting scared and camping and then thats when the hype for brood started. u see what im saying?

 

[Palpi]

You should play to win against hbox more often, considering, you will get cheered for winning regardless.

Your argument would be valid if Ally and Anti and Nairo weren't wrecking people with their aggro/semi-aggro MKs. But, I never said there was anything wrong with your play style, I said that you can't expect people to cheer for you when you play like that. What do you care more about, winning or having people cheer for you? With your current playstyle you can't ask for both.

I also feel bad for Hbox since he's a nice sportsmanlike guy, and doesn't even camp in Melee yet he still gets hated on non stop.

PS: you have like a million fans dude, they just don't cheer for you when you play gay
