[clubbadubba]

something that must be changed at apex

jkjkjkjkjkjk he's under age guys cmon now

 

[The Star King]

well we always have a bottle of vodka in the freezer, so I could. not interested though

also vodka marinara sauce is delicious, would recommend. I'm sure that doesn't count though

I'm half asian Yobo, duh

 

[clubbadubba]

Dude I've been using "vodka sauce" on my pasta. Its an orange colored sauce, I think that's what you mean. And yes, its pretty tasty.

Oh my god, Mario Batali's vodka sauce is so, so good. Especially if you add slices of Italian sausages. Only buy it on sale though.

ON TOPIC: Is it bad I don't know who Mariguas is?

 

[Sensei]

Only Native Americans should represent USA.

 

[The Star King]

Well, in its history, USA sure hasn't represented Native Americans. Heyoooooo!

 

[Nintendude]

What do people think should be the ruleset for crews in terms of stages?

 

[Olikus]

not DL only at least.

 

[clubbadubba]

sector z, fox dittos only.

but in seriousness, DL only

 

[Nintendude]

If there is more than one stage, what are the procedures behind stage and character selection?

In Melee I think it's always been that the winning player is character locked unless his new opponent opts to change the stage.

 

[The Star King]

Yeah same as Isai's 12 char battle ruleset seems fair imo

 

[Maliki]

I say for stages saffron zebes mushroom London and yoshis

For characters the opponent pick your character in a blind pick.

Each set is best of 3

Just retread this such a good idea!

how do you unlock London?

 

[Maliki]

Okay so you have to be able to beat 3 lvl 9s on zebes with ness with beam swords on very high.

 

[banze]

I would say Isai's 12 char battle rule to.

 

[Nintendude]

Can someone refresh my memory on what that ruleset is?

 

[clubbadubba]

isai's 12 char battle rules:

-double blind char pick to start

-first stage hyrule. ALWAYS

-Loser of each game picks next stage

-if loser changes stage, winner has the opportunity to switch to any remaining character, otherwise winner is locked in. Peaches, DL, Congo, Hyrule are legal I believe

-Loser picks char



I prefer the idea of winner staying in until they lose, though I understand why stage switch allows for character (in this case player) change. Single stage would keep winner locked in. I also think this crew battle (and all crew battles) should be character locked from the beginning.

 

[The Star King]

When I said I support Isai's rules I meant character change if loser changes stage. Not player change.

Confusing because characters in a 12 char battle kinda act like a player in a crew battle I guess.

Basically, what Nintendude said Melee does.

Also not Hyrule first

 

[Sangoku]

Not Hyrule first, but HYRULE ONLY

 

[thegreginator]

Character lock from the beginning would be SO MUCH MORE HYPE.

- Character lock (and each player must choose a unique character, perhaps?)
- Hyrule counterpick/ban
- No player changing (player goes until they have lost 5 lives)

 

[mixa]

I just hope the most number of videos get properly recorded and eventually uploaded.

 

[clubbadubba]

I hope near comes to Apex. He played really well on the stream last night, and would be a great addition to TEAM AMERICA so we can beat everyone.

 

[The Star King]

I didn't see him last night but I've thought for a while that Near is pretty underrated

 

[kys]

The loss to Glowworm still haunts SK

 

[The Star King]

lol damn I forgot about that

but nah I just played him a few times over the summer. He was on like 5 frames or something and I was still pretty impressed

 

[TranqJim]

I would be VERY surprised to see USA lose if Isai is present.

Also, is the order of the crew chosen by their team?

 

[KnitePhox]

character locks are lame for this game

everyone(except LOL purists) plays lots of characters so it makes sense if they can switch

 

[TANK64]

^^For a crew battle?

Go home drunk, you're KnitePhox...

 

[SSBPete]

is the player order blind?

i'd rather it isn't, so i potentially don't get 5 stocked

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

the first 2 is generally random blind, then people counterpick or it is ageed between the 2 captains. i would put nintendude or sensei as ours wut.

such as, (sorry i cant think of a 64 example,) the world sent in armada so the us counterpicked with HBox (and we won the crews in a completely hetereosexual manner)

 

[SSBPete]

thanks! that seems like a really strong system

 

[Mr Bushido]

How bout:

The Links vs The Kings
4 Links vs. 1 Pika, Kirby, Falcon and Fox



yes it rhymes ask cobr

 

[Olikus]

it could be cool to have maximum 2 of the same caracther on each team. So we dont get 5 pika dittos =O

 

[clubbadubba]

Maximum 1 is better.

 

[banze]

I like the idea of doing maximum 2 repeated charcters.

gives an oportunity to players show their best.

 

[clubbadubba]

^^okay fine but no pikachu or kirby allowed

 

[The Star King]

Every time clubba says that I have to respond with the same thing. I'm just gonna name the stance after myself and refer to it to shorten things.

SK stance: If Pikachu and Kirby are banned, Fox and Falcon should be banned.

so yeah

SK stance

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

Fox and falcon don't have 65-35 + vs half the remaining cast.

also, if you wanted to get rid of slow dittos, moyashi vs Killer first round?

would appeal to the brawl players as well
