Oh it is? Yeah, downtown will probably be really busy that day.

Also, ride the pikachu bus:

 

[Summonedfist]

for a sec i thought it'd be hilarious to see that in toronto

...then i saw the road signs...

</3

 

[Windrose]

what was so amazing about pikachu??? why didn't he transform into raichu? How did ash beat an onix with a pikachu?

 

[weon - X]

he aimed for the horn

 

[Phiddlesticks]

he actually didnt aim for anything in particular but accidentally set the gym on fire which turned on the sprinklers and made onix susceptible to electric attacks

but who would bother pointing out little details like that, i mean really

 

[idea]

my favourite is still when they say "pikachu! dodge the attack!"

just say that every time then, 100% evasion rate

 

[unknown522]

Yeah pikachu = broken in the show.

So either we can have a drunken tourney on the 17th, or we can do the 10th (but that's only 2 weeks away).

Can't do the 24th

 

[idea]

lol i didn't even think to combine them...drunken tourney sounds fun.

10th is fine by me too

 

[idea]

lol that mario is too good

 

[Izek]

So the next monthly is most likely lookin like the 17th of march. Any objections?

good with that.

 

[JPOBS]

i agree with that tristan, but what about both at the same time.

i personally plan on spending st patties day being drunk around a bunch of women and going to a club or something.

vidja games can wait

Coincedentally, I'm going to be in toronto on the weekend of the 10th, so that would work out really for for me if it was that day instead.

 

[Engo]

I just really want to play again soon so I'd be up for the 10th.

 

[unknown522]

alright, looking like the 10th. Hopefully it's not booked already

 

[Crooked Crow]

Intoxicated Melee ***** though.

 

[Summonedfist]

aww i hav ethe 17th off

and i work the 10th....

 

[Sleaf]

hmm i'd probably make it on the 17th. Haven't been to one of these in a while.
Plus we usually finish these tournies by early evening anyway

 

[idea]

in theory, we could have it on the 17th, finish early, then all go to the same bar.

do you guys mind if i bring my ds to the bar? i haven't finished castlevania yet

 

[Summonedfist]

i'd join you guys at the bar for non-alcoholics....

can't exactly sneak drinking with an hr drive lol
ppl who want rides with me can tho

 

[Sleaf]

in theory communism works

omg, i just realized that i was writing on the wrong thing...for my report/presentation...due tomorrow at 4:00. the funny thing is, that already happened once. first it was with the same book, because it has two sets of page numbers, original text and new translation order. turns out i was supposed to be reading the selected pages from a different book entirely.

this should be stressful, but it's so silly i can't help but laugh at the situation.

 

[KirbyKaze]

With my magic T.O. skillz we very well could have singles done by like 7 pm and then pre-drink at someone's house and then go to a bar.

 

[Rikana]

I have an empty house that we could potentially pre-drink at (very close to where I live. Literally 5 min walk). Tenants recently moved out (my parents regret renting it to them cause they didn't take good care of it. Broken walls, dirty washroom, etc.. I have no idea what they did) Its only got like.. 1 sofa though and lots of garbage bags cause we're cleaning it up. Should be a lot better by then and after we finish renovating some places again.

Anyone interested in renting? Basement spot left. 2 rooms, laundry room, living room, and kitchen. Top floor already reserved for family friends. loladvertising.

Regardless, I'll definitely be able to get us a place to predrink if you guys don't mind standing and all. That is.. if I'm free that day.

 

[KirbyKaze]

I'll bring lawn chairs.

were u distracted thinking about meat?

[Summonedfist]

bro you can be anything you believe in

just gotta let it loose from the heart

 

[Izek]

I approve. I actually liked how the tournament was run quickly because it benefits me getting back home . and any thing to mention bout our pools matches? or those friendlies? falco vs fox.

 

[Summonedfist]

i can offer rides back to sauga if they're close to the highway lol

 

[Windrose]

I dunno if it was mentioned already but I think there's a brawl tournament @ a&c on march 10th.

I think we'll have to settle with march 31st...or march 3rd LOL

 

[KirbyKaze]

The thing that stood out was that I couldn't out-wait you. I'm actually finding my general Fox game vs Falco to be less effective and I think people are just playing a better combat game, or picking better moments to shoot lasers to regain footing.

I did a lot better when I applied a lot of pressure. You seemed a lot better at fighting when things were going kind of slowly than when things were... a big blur of shines and aerials. You'd probably benefit a lot from trying to figure out where you can CC, shine OOS, and other stuff like that during his pressure sequences.

Hold up to avoid the shine --> jab reset setup (aka thunder's combo).

As for fighting Sheik... it's mostly what I said. Your pressure (when you didn't mess it up) was pretty safe... you did a lot of the early rising retreat nairs, which is good. I suggest shine-grabbing more, though. It's pretty good against her (she likes to hold shield once nair OOS fails a few times) and can be used to push her off the stage. Plus the combo stuff we talked about (shine-landing isn't that good; try up air, more dair, up tilt, etc). You basically just want to get her off the stage and then hit her off a bunch of times until she dies. That's the basic strategy behind beating Sheik with just about every character.

Camilo got me with like a billion laser --> f-smashes. You should watch and see how he does it lolz.

 

[unknown522]

it's either the 17th or 31st. Take your pick.

 

[Riddlebox]

Still can't do the 31st =(.

nick what sets do your mtg range from?

watched some of the vids last night and there were some interesting things lol


david does only falco escape thunder's when holding up? fox doesn't right? i feel like i should already knw this but i want confirmation xD

there were a lot of jankyish sets like kyle vs james, windrose you played well at times and at others just imo made weird decisions. i had more to say but i can't remember lol

 

[Phiddlesticks]

im also possibly interested in the magic cards depending on what they actually are

 

[Windrose]

windrose you played well at times and at others just imo made weird decisions. i had more to say but i can't remember lol

try to remember. anything helps.

how the hell do you out-wait falco with fox in the first place?

probably not but post the link anyway

keep one controller in case you eventually move back somewhere where you can play smash/see us more regularly.

 

[Summonedfist]

you got good dthrow followups iirc
you start pretty strong, and approach well/decent platform game

but your dd game is sorta weak. yo ugotta abuse that **** esp vs peach and your falcon
you also let peach pivot stuff around you and you didn't quite pick up on it
usually my problem vs james is that i approach without dynamics... it's always the same old LOL. and plus my fox just closes space with nair and i don't take advantage of his shuffl

but when i play around with falcon i find that it's easier to throw your aerials a bit farther given falcons arial mobility and his long nair. i have little trouble spacing the nair a bit farther when james tries to pivot. james is REALLY good at pivot stuff f(imo at least... his space management has improved sooooo much lol) i find an easier time getting in now with falco/marth (tho i don't think i played much marth with him) but the laser really supports it


basically i find that when in a neutral position, or when you guys "reset" you either: approach poorly and get baited into a dashattack/grab/dsmash, and when he approaches you you let him in too easily without trying to keep him at bay


i didn't have much sleep tho and i watched those vids at 5am last night so i could just be ****ting you but that's what i remembered LOL not exactly coming from a falcon main but it's a tidbit i get when fooling around with falcon... james knows what it's like



i'll add more later i wanted to rewatch those vids when i'm less tired. they were really enjoyable to watch. kyle you're so inconsistent vs camillo btw LOL and david getting trolled like 3 times on fd with laser laser fsmash?????? xD

 

[KirbyKaze]

david does only falco escape thunder's when holding up? fox doesn't right? i feel like i should already knw this but i want confirmation xD

It's based on percent for Fox. I think Falco gets out pretty early by just holding up (not sure what the exact percent is but it seems like 10% or so rofl) but Fox it's probably around 40%+ (maybe higher? I think his jab is stronger than Sheik's or about as powerful so that makes sense in my head). These are just estimates, though, you'd have to test them yourself to know for certain.
