wars not make one great
talent. some kids just have it. he's also young and can learn quicker due to it. he also got into the game late enough to avoid developing bad habits back when they worked.
Yes, and it explains part of it. I don't think that's enough to cover how he wins like every matchup against the best players.

then stop :p

I never really thought about this but you're totally right. I think someone with natural talent and smarts coming into the game at this stage surrounded by a strong community would progress much quicker than others. All of which Mango had.

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
take Scar for instance. when he got into the game, he was playing Cactuar every day. do you know how much that helps you to not do stupid things? hint: it's a lot, getting 4 stocked over and over for always spot dodging after techs gets boring, FAST.

Believe it or not but I was the one 4 stocking Cactus so he could learn not to be an idiot. Then he went to FC 6 and decided he was going to obliterate every one.

Alright Mogwai! If you happen to pass by Newington on the way to Uconn, maybe you could pick up Cort :).

Car partyyy!

That's weird, nobody else is interested o_O?

that's gonna be me @ Genesis, sorry to all the other hopefuls out there, but you will be obliterated by the mighty Mogwai.

@Lil yea, we'll see what the car situation is like once the weekend plans solidify a little bit.

I wish I could go....me got to work all weekend from Fri-Sun. :mad:

But I be making like 600 smacks with SPAWN and Aesir. :)

I won't be going to tournaments much this summer but I think im going to play PC and SPAWN at least once a week this summer so hopefully I'll get better at this Melee game. I also picked up Falcon and Marc has already told me he noticed a huge improvement in my C Falc. yay.

I now pretty much use Roy, Falco, (even though mine sucks...hes still fun for me.) Falcon, and will always main Marth. I also am thinking about working on a Jigglypuff. I gave up on Ice Climbers. LOL.

>_> Hm...I played a lot of smash before I joined SWF...and I picked up like, all the bad habits there ever were... Woe is me T-T;

<_< I think if I got my brother training, he'd be able to overthrow Mango like no one's business. The kid is ****ing 12 years old son, hes like a sponge.



But yea, my Mewtwo 4-Stocked Demetri's Marth, and he said he wasn't going to sand bag alllll night. :D
>_> AND GULLIBLE IS NOT WRITTEN ON THE CEILING!

T.T I wish he would play legit, or Marc wouldn't sleep so much, and maybe I can get some good Melee practice in!

somebody put this on a shirt
Why?

The Hangover is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Such a great surprise, it's ****ing hilarious. I'm serious, you will be shocked at how funny it is. It's one of my favorite comedies now :p
I'm seeing that tonight at 10:10 with people. I've heard it has Mike Tyson in it? LOL.

Want to see.

btw Up emotionally slayed me so hard
I liked UP...but it was an epic fail compared to everything else Pixar made. Pixar has been getting so emo lately and basically losing their humorous touch IMO. I still <3 Pixar soooo much but thank god Toy Story III is coming out to uplift my spirit again. That movie is going to be so good. I thought the teaser trailer was even hilarious. Sigh at Ernest not being Slink :(

how is that even relevant
LOL

it's beyond irrelevant.
look at some of the other names in the SBR and you can see that the SBR itself is beyond irrelevant
Some of the people in there do not deserve to be there but the same could be said about MODS. Some of the mods on this site do not do their job. I won't say names.

pof asked how i got into the SBR, it was my response, i probably didnt quote huh?
I got SBR for TO / circuit reasons id imagine.
No offence but a majority of the SBR users are high level players with an immense amount of experience and all around knowledge of the Brawl competitive scene as a whole. You on the other hand do not go to tournaments as frequently anymore, place equal to...lower..and sometimes 1-2 places higher than I do, (We are about even to be fair and unbiased) and I think your only truly strong character is Snake. If running a circuit is all you have to do to become a SBR, sign me up.

Also, how did OWM get into the back room? I always wondered that.

:o I thought it was for your unrestrained sexiness.

>_> Poffy, you have a hard enough time running a single tournament, whereas Jake here runs entire circuits, a good 5+ tournaments, setting up a site, getting sponsors, advertising, having a good rep, making sure the tournaments run smoothly, and probably even more goes into what Jake and the rest of the ECRC people do. As nice as it would be for the SBR to be all high level players, the fact is they're not, and they need to address not only the game but the community itself.

tl;dr- I miss sandra and I wish I was talking to her instead of being trolled.

[18:10] Dazwa070: it's actually very relevant
[18:10] *** Auto-response sent to Dazwa070: I am currently away from the computer.
[18:11] Dazwa070: considering one of the SBR-B's major tasks is to write up a standardized ruleset for tournaments to take as suggestion
[18:11] Dazwa070: tournament host are in fact very important for us to have, but only the ones who run major tournaments
[18:11] Dazwa070: iirc, new england's first SBR, back in the melee days was omegawhitemage
[18:11] Dazwa070: and he was let in on tournament hosting skills alone
[18:12] Dazwa070: this has been Dazwa, with
[18:12] Dazwa070: THE MORE YOU KNOW
