You guys wanna come to guelph? lol.

 

[JPOBS]

he called the punch from across the screen and hit him through it

then combo'd to super

then killed him

is that hard or something?

 

[Anth0ny]

is that hard or something?

ridiculously hard

wombo combo hard

hence the wombo combo like crowd and commentary reaction

also, anyone dissapointed by sonic 4? HD Sonic 2 remix made by fan puts Sega to shame.

 

[I.B]

Hopefully I'll be able to come to w/e's happening this weekend. All depends on whether I'm working on Monday or not.

Also, I just had that Double Down sandwich from KFC about an hour ago...


SO GOOD!

*dies from heart attack*

 

[Phiddlesticks]

i cant wait to try one of those

im so glad theyre in canada finally

 

[sauc3]

lol, only kfc would wrap bacon with deep fried chicken, just win.

im also down to play this weekend, altho if something bigger is happening next weekend or the weekend after id rather save up for that, cuz i wont have work.

 

[RaynEX]

is that hard or something?

Its essentially zoning and poking from full screen. Because of Dhalsim's ability to stretch his limbs across the screen, opponents can beat his high priority moves by hitting his limbs as they retract.

Dhalsim's hard punch execution (the move that Daigo counterpoked) is probably 3 or 4 frames. The move Daigo used to set up that counter hit combo (crouching hard punch) is noticably slower.

Earlier in the match you could see him fishing for his crouching fierce from full screen, but nobody knew why he kept whiffing it from that far. Eventually, he called Arturo's poke, walked back a step then HIT IT AS IT WAS RETRACTING. He subsequently cancelled it into the hard punch version (fastest version) of Ryu's super, and it true comboed from full screen.

Hitstun gets multiplied during a counter hit (when you hit your opponent's move during its active frames), so combos that aren't normal possibly work. This is a character specific, move specific, RANGE specific punish. Its ****ing ********.

Hopefully I'll be able to come to w/e's happening this weekend. All depends on whether I'm working on Monday or not.

I can also confirm its deliciousness. So good.

[unknown522]

[Ministry]

i tryed one today with a couple buddies

all that stood out to me was how much salt there was, besides that its just chicken and grease

 

[KirbyKaze]

We already have enough salt in our diet.

 

[Riddlebox]

Here lies the GTA thread; it once basked in glory, bathed in the smiles of the gods but it was not to be. This thread, which was once so alive...thwarted by this one statement...

We already have enough salt in our diet.

Is no more...

lol did no one have anything to say for a whole day D:? Or did I break an oath of silence or something.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

You broke the oath of silence, Riddle. For that, you shall burn.

 

[weon - X]

i think they're playing or something

 

[Sleaf]

half of us are busy with school atm

 

[Sanu]

i wish it was tuesday night already

 

[duyzee]

I wish I had friends.

Edit :
Oh, for IB and RaynEX and whoever else that cares,
Mood Muzik 4 leaked.
Freeload button for DL.

 

[sauc3]

anyone have a lense cleaning kit? my wii cant read discs anymore...

im currently running games off a usb loader, but gc games dont work on it and i wanna play melee, i have a gamecube, but i lost my copy of melee a long time ago at a tourney.

 

[Summonedfist]

school sucks

 

[Leek]

This thread sucks

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Cheese dipped in tar sucks.

 

[The Mighty Kiwi]

Brawl sucks

 

[idea]

anyone going to york for melee tomorrow?

 

[_eternal]

Now I shall awkwardly stroll into this thread and pretend I was here all along. Hooray.

Uh, I'm not sure who you guys are, but hi anyway. I go to UofT and I'm new to competitve SSBM even though I've been playing casually for years. I don't think I'll start going to tournaments outside of downtown Toronto until I get better but I have some good people to practice with so I might join the scene soon.

 

[Sanu]

until you get better? you won't get better unless you go to tournaments and smashfests outside of downtown yo

btw tournies are a rare occurrence these days

 

[_eternal]

Well, I met some people at UofT who are better than me so I'll probably try to reach their level before traveling around for tournaments, especially since it's so convenient to play here. It's an easier starting point IMO.

 

[Ministry]

you should play ryan ford he will gladly help you get better at the cost of you being depressed

 

[idea]

it's faster if you go to tournaments, play everyone, and don't get discouraged when they all beat you =P

honestly, it's like weight training...except you can't really overstrain yourself because instead of lifting heavy objects you're playing a video game.

but yeah, like sanuzi said, we don't have actual tournaments much these days. whenever i host a smashfest you should come to that, though. i mean, why not?

 

[_eternal]

Sure, I wouldn't mind coming if I have time. The fact that I bothered to check this thread several times in one evening kinda implies that I'm interested in joining the community. I wouldn't mind spending a Saturday here or there getting owned in various ways

Also, I kinda know Ryan Ford... I doubt he remembers me though. We went to the same high school but I think he's 3 years older than me. I was out of practice at the time because Brawl had just come out but I certainly wouldn't mind playing him again, even if the outcome is rather predictable.

 

[JPOBS]

we should have something before rom.

 

[Sanu]

**** i hate my teeth braces coming off soon too, but they just don't feel ready... when i clench my jaw, i feel like one of my top teeth slightly rubs against the one of my bottom teeth, so annoying

they haven't been shifting at all for the past 3ish months though ugh

 

[idea]

imma try to host as soon as possible. hopefully next weekend but there could be a lot of reasons that wouldn't be possible. we'll see.

woah, you went to ward? Who are you?

also, I'm probably only 2 years older if you graduated.

Tell your mom that I said to get better soon!

 

[Leek]

Thanks Kyle, you're a peach. Hope your mom gets well soon!

 

[idea]

thanks guys =)

oh yeah, i still have to look up who to vote for and such.

 

[Riddlebox]

God I feel so old...

Hope your mom feels better as well Kyle, she seems like a very nice and happy lady lol.


There is probably gonna be a smashfest in Burlington at Asian Mike's if anyone is interested? lol. Though I dunno if I am allowed to extend the invitation...I'll get back to ya.


@Eternal - Yo, there's absolutely no reason to feel the need to seclude yourself to get better before you show yourself openly to the community. The people in this community are freaking amazing; they'll help you get better a lot faster (not that I am discounting the skill of the people you met in UoT) but these people will definitely give you the passion you need to improve at a ridiculous rate. I'm not saying I'm awesome or anything yet either, I just have enjoyed the amount of improvement I've seen over the last 3 months having only STARTED competitive smash this January (Brawl ~.~) then moving on to Melee 3 months ago. What you'll need is the passion, and a multitude of people to give you ideas and show you different skills to add to your own. You are in like, the golden spot to learn/play/take advantage so just jump on the train without looking =P; it's not as scary as you think, and there are no ninjas...just *****s.

 

[idea]

alright, so as far as i can tell, i just shouldn't vote for rob ford. he seems like kind of an *******. anti-gay (well not explicitly), racist, pro-football. lol. and he just sounds like an idiot too. plus all my more politically-minded friends have told me not to vote for him.
