Yep. Without Ryo we wouldnt have Dan. And how hollow would SFIV feel without Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Dan?

Lance: I only used ICs in those 2 games all day, and I caught a big break game 4. I was certain I would have had to use my counterpick. My ICs aren't quite back in shape yet. ;p
Alright I see. Well you kicked butt with Olimar then haha, and I saw that break you got in Game 4. Very unfortunate for Nyjin.

I liked that match you had with Snake at Luigi's Mansion. I know a stage to not pick.

I'll get Awex next time. We're ****** buddies now. ;)

In an entirely no-homo and only-brawl related way. Unlike how Mog likes Awex. *cough*

Can't you just plug in a USB keyboard? Thought that worked.

Also, if all else fails, you could get like a Dell Mini 9 or an MSI wind (they're like, $200 if you shop around). Those things are really nice (I bought a Wind for note-taking with money I made over Winter break... totally happy with the purchase).

People are showing up as early as 1 and as late as around 5 so far. It's pretty much gonna be an all-afternoon thing. Then we'll go get some dinner afterward or something.

Bring a brawl setup if you can. I have melee if anyone really wants to play.

That's interesting, Ice, but is there a reason there's a mini-map in the bottom right corner?

Thanks for letting us use your garage today, Alex.

Um, anyway, I want to apologize if I've been coming off as angry as of late. For starters, I had no right to go off on Falln on Sunday. He's a kid, and they tend to be annoying. Instead of ignoring it, I went down to his level. I really don't know what has caused this sudden change in temperment for me. It could have to do with the fact that I'm getting worse at Smash instead of improving. I mean, hell, I now lose to lvl 9 CPUs which is embarrassing in itself. I never used to have a problem with losing in games, but when you lose constantly it has a tendency to get old. So, here's where most of you would say'

"Well, step it up".

...but I don't know how. I used to think it was my choice of character. Vicegrip's performances have proved me wrong on that. I know that it's me who isn't that good, not Ness. So, any pointers and whatnot are always helpful. When I get my *** beat, why not tell me some stuff I do wrong. I don't want to quit going to tournaments, but losing all the time doesn't help encourage me much, you know? Anyway, thanks for listening to me complain.


This quote from Rickety made my day:

Geo: I'm going to go play on this TV, with the awesome people

Rickety: But everybody here is awesome.

A Saturday weekly would be cool, cause Easter is family dinner time, and Jesus time haha.

But I want to ask again, is there ANY WAY possible to get what place I came in at the weekly and how many people were in it? I know I did bad but itd be good to know.

It definitely helped me today that Ness happens to be one of my alts, so even though I don't study any metagaming for him in depth, I still realize his strengths and some strategies to look out for as I play against him.

I did notice you had a tendency to PK Fire, but there isn't really much I could do to punish you for that specifically. PKSkylar taught me that thunder is actually a pretty good attack by itself, and I figured that even if you miss your opponent, you can still often use it to launch yourself to safety. It might not be great to do constantly of course, because it can be punished, but it's certainly something to think about.

Also, Ness is fairly quick in his attacks, so it may be a good idea to use his f-air or dash attack sometimes just to rack up a little more damage. His f-tilt does pretty good knockback and comes out fast, so it's a pretty good alternative if you don't have time to smash.

Especially as it started getting later, I noticed you kind of hung back near the edge. I think you should be moving around a lot more, putting in more aerials, changing from quick hits to strong hits to defensiveness just to mindgame. Mostly, though, you've clearly been having a bad day, and you actually started releasing the controls in situations you could have easily recovered from because of it. It seemed a lot like a mentality thing more than anything. You literally LET yourself fall at one point, in turn letting yourself get even more frustrated. You might do better if you play to have fun. Go for a tough footstool, crack the bat, and chase the balloon. You have to like the game in order to try harder.

"At least I got the balloon."
