Vouch.
He does. The piano definitely helps.

 

[IThinkAboutIvysaur]

I have a question. Is it true that almost all Ike mains are Bleach fan?

This post is seriously lacking common sense. I am not a beach fa-... ok, I am a bit.

 

[Kirk]

No.

In other news, a new(to my knowledge) AT for Ike was discovered last night.

...too bad its essentially useless and is ridiculously hard to do in a real match.

 

[theeboredone]

Dang. Metroid is just adding to the stereotype of azns learning how to play Piano. I bet Kimchi plays the piano.

LOL, actually I do. I also play Guitar, Saxophone, and Violin. My mom's a piano teacher.

 

[Teh Brettster]

I am WHITE and play piano. HELLZ YEAH.

And... I'd bet almost anything that you guys are BOTH going into biology or something whereas I'm the only one silly enough to be a music major.
That's the difference between white and Asian musicians. Asians either play from the time they're 2 months old or pick something that will pay.. like being a doctor. We white Americans just do music because we don't like anything else.
And I'm so smart that I'm planning on a career I can't learn about in even UNT's college of music.

Hmmmmmm, I need a good current picture so I can do that profile thing. Soon.


In other news, I'm getting *****.
(A good Marth has come to UNT and my main cannot quite beat his main. He claims he will make me very good in the match-up though.)

(Also, Kirk, out of curiosity, what is said useless new AT for Ike?)

lmao can't believe I forgot that part... >.>

Well, basically, you can cancel Aether's landing lag coming back onto a stage, resetting yourself back into his idle, standing stance(Think MK canceling shuttle loop on the stage or w/e you call it).

It's more or less useless because...you can only do it on slanted edges from what I saw(yoshi's, lylat, etc.) and the spacing is ridiculously strict.

But yeah, neat trick, but not very applicable in most situations.

Do you have a video if it being done? Or is it just edge canceling?

 

[Kirk]

Not edge canceling. I've seen Aether slide off the stage before, you still retain the entire duration of the landing lag. I'll see if I can get a vid up...

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Nope.

Have never even watched an episode before.

 

[comboking]

Nope
Neither have I. Why would you assume that IThinkAboutIvysaur?

 

[theeboredone]

Guy with sword...similarities and looks...texture of Ichigo floating around...meh.

For the record, I hate that show. It started out fine, but failed to a whole new level later on.

 

[YagamiLight]

I have a question. Is it true that almost all Ike mains are Bleach fan?

Why yes, I do indeed have an Ichigo texture that I use for Ike.

I'm still fond of the show but it was much better early on.

 

[stingers]

Delfino
The first time it happened on a slant during the beach part, and I originally thought it was because of the slant/DDD being big that the grab glitched out or something and caused it. But later he did it to me on the main stage, so...that's not it.
Standing grabs
Quite a few, I don't know an exact number. He didn't do it for an incredibly long time, he ended up throwing me eventually
Grab break animation looked the same to me every time
Uhh...I don't know if I tried to spotdodge, it looked too fast for me to get out of really, but maybe I could've spotdodged out? The fact it was on wifi would've made that difficult anyway
He grabbed me, pummeled me like once, and I'd auto break out and he'd grab me again. @.@

any answer for this yet? @.@

 

[Palpi]

Isn't one of the mods a grab release specialist? I know Hylian loves his grabs.

Of course he does. He plays ICs. Lol.

You might be talking about Ankoku; he made a whole thread talking about grab releases, which can be found here.

 

[theeboredone]

So I took first at this tournament held by my college. Filled with nooby people though, and too many of them were gawking way too much at what I was doing. At least first prize was worth it. Free shirt, 2 1 GB flash drives, a gold certificate, deodrant, body wash, and a coupon LOL.

Lmao, easy pickings eh? I wanna say congrats... but honestly now

I don't know what to expect at my local tourney tomorrow. 40 people signed up, decent amount of money for top three placement. Some of the top players seem like they really know what they're doing but I've been practicing all the match-ups with their mains... plus other than like five people the rest all seem more like casual gamers.

I'm definitely going it all Ike and I think I can get top three at least if I keep my head.

LOL what's with the random prizes? Good job though, show them how to use Ike the noob killer .

Good luck man . By the way, how many Ike users are there in Canada besides you?

 

[Nysyarc]

On Smashboards... er... not many, if any at all. There are probably tons of Ike mains in Canada who don't make themselves known at tourneys or in forums. There's one other Ike main going to this tourney, but he seems pretty casual and not fully up to speed with Ike's metagame.

 

[Kimchi]

I'm going to a tournament today =). There probably will be live stream. It's titled road to viridian city. Find it under atlantic north section if you want to watch live stream.

 

[PeppyWil]

Nyke

Space Fairs and play smart, you may be able to beat Zhao.

GL. :D

Good luck to the both of you!

 

[Nysyarc]

Well, good and bad news about my tourney today. I started out thinking positive, telling myself I can do good. We had four pools with eight or nine people in each (nine in mine), and only the top four from each pool got seeded into the bracket.

I basically dominated my pool. I won 7 out of 8 matches, only lost to Lamb who has a really good Pikachu and knew how to punish just about everything I did with Ike (I went 100% Ike the whole time, even if I lost a match). Everyone seemed impressed with my spacing and jab canceling and so I slowly built confidence.

Then it all went downhill... very quickly. I didn't win a single match in the actual tournament; I lost 2-0 in my first set and 2-0 again in my first losers set. No johns, I just lost my nerve and started making a ton of mistakes. I didn't lose horribly or anything, and I definitely could have won both those sets... I just failed hard.

One thing to note: I really enjoyed counterpicking Pirate Ship. Only one of my opponents was smart enough to ban it. All the others usually got two-stocked... except in my last set where I took 90% from those cannonballs in about 10 seconds.

My proudest moment in the tourney was a comeback in a particularly grueling match-up. I had just beaten a Wolf player and he CPd Halberd as Metaknight. At one point when I had just taken a stock off of him, I SDd with a badly timed QD so I was down a whole stock (he had two and I had one). I ended up winning with 86% on me after getting him stuck in the big laser beam. He was a good player too so I was happy

Anyways, sorry for the wall of text guys. I'm pretty happy with how it went, considering I was the only Ike player there out of four who made it out of pools. There were just a lot more high tier characters and serious players than I anticipated. Good times though.

tl;dr... I won... and then lost.

Haha, your nervousness reminds me of when I went to HOBO (monthly with 100 ppl). Doubles, I was calm and cool, but when Singles started I was nervous for the most part. It really did stale my game and made me very predictable. Good job on making it out of pools, though I think running a molecule bracket would have been better since there are only 40 ppl.

So it's safe to say you are the best Ike in your city?

 

[Nysyarc]

So it's safe to say you are the best Ike in your city?

Yah, so it would seem. I'm gonna start going to smashfests and other such get-togethers to work on my offline game. My problem is I'm too used to WiFi and I don't know enough match-ups... especially with high tiers.

Speaking of which, we should revive the match-up thread. Maybe continue it or even revisit some older ones that maybe haven't been discussed in awhile.

 

[theeboredone]

Ahh...yea, when I went to my first offline tourny, I was fresh off wi-fi...it did mess me up a few times, but I eventually adapted. Hope you can do the same.

As far as the match-up thread goes...it's safe to say that I'm the best Ike player around who doesn't bother reading those kinda threads LOL.

Also, I heard Inui went all Ike at Viridian. He lost to MintyFlesh in winners or losers...not sure...I hope Kimchi did better than him.

 

[Nysyarc]

Well, I've played Kimchi's Ike online and if he's that good on WiFi he must be pretty awesome offline. When I played Pink Fresh a while back he compared my Ike to Penta, Light and Inui... so if I have around as good an Ike as Inui, then Kimchi must be better than him O.o

/obscure comparisons

 

[stingers]

Haha, Nysyarc is using Inui logic.

 

[Nysyarc]

Haha, Nysyarc is using Inui logic.

Do you mean like... logic that Inui uses or does it have something to do with the fact that I mentioned Inui? Also, I realize it's a bad way to compare players, hence the "obscure comparisons".

In other news, I have to wait like, five months for the next local tourney... it sucks.

No.

Wifi means absolutely nothing.

Now MY ike is a reaper of souls. I took 3 stocks off M2k and Ally today while killing my partner twice with a spike and aether spike. It is was epic, had like a bunch of people watching in crowd and live stream, it like my moment and I felt great

Kimchi doesn't want to beleive me that Inui is better with ike than him xD

Kimchi can vouch that my moment was epic

 

[Nysyarc]

I disagree but I don't want to start an argument here so... I'll pretend that wasn't said.

Lol, as if taking 3 stocks off of M2K and Ally wasn't enough you were so hyped you spiked your partner too. Awesome. Any chance it'll end up on YouTube?

You should host one then.

Actually, I just found out we'll be having bi-weeklies in the meantime. Nothing serious I don't think (like, not for money) but at least it'll keep me fresh offline.

 

[Palpi]

I don't think it was recorded, though it was livesteam. I went into absolute **** mode and im like ITS 3v1 and i ***** my partner hahaha

 

[Melomaniacal]

Palpi was in super-rage mode, and his partner happened to cross his path in the water.

Palpi's scream when he spiked him was beyond epic. It was all "BYAAAAAAH!" Epic.

 

[Nysyarc]

Lmfao, man I wanna see that stream recording now. If it gets put up somewhere like YouTube let me know. Good stuff.

 

[King of Sack]

****!YA BET MEH TOO IT! Seriously though, that is the best laugh I've had in a long time! Someone better upload it and tell me or else... IMMA EATIN UR CHILDREN!!
