I had like 20 throughout H2's lifetime, but once I started recording stuff the two main ones I used were: HNiC Rula and WTF is a ShMeh. I also went to MLG Orlando in 2006 (only for H2, didn't know there was such a thing as competitive Smash Bros. at the time). My team didn't make it very far into bracket (like 3rd round) but I got to top 16 in FFA. I was pretty content considering I was only 14 at the time and it was my first event ever.
Lol. Top 5 maybe.
That is seriously sickening, good **** man.
Yea the community was pretty serious from like... Late '07-'09
I'm pretty sure I got a faster time when I was 6, but I don't have the records.
Yeah, I do know that. lol I have always maintained the opinion that if there was no pride in tournament matches, it wouldn't even be difficult to run away and collect health all game in alt form. That basically means every match turns into a stale mate unless someone gets out of alt form to shoot, and at that point it's all about sniping because any attempt to reduce someone's health, even on small stages, just results in them going to get more health. It's pretty comparable to barlw, honestly. lol There's just no way to punish people for mistakes. I remember I made a ruleset that banned a chunk of the stages and alt forms, but it never caught on because it was too late in the game's lifespan.
Taking extra damage would have been cool, but I think they should have just made them niche utility like Spire's. His was balanced very well. You couldn't just run away constantly with it, but you could use it to attack in certain close quarters or more importantly, climb walls to get to areas quicker. Even if alts like Sylux's take extra damage, they still give way too much of a positioning advantage.
Kanden's alt was pretty awful. Alt form tier list would probably be:
I won Sybot's last tourney, which I think was the last major tourney that actually finished, and it had pretty much all of the top players. I'm also pretty biased though. lol Verm was pretty bad. I made him d/c on random in a Spire ditto on Council Chamber. Yes, I remember these things. lol
I was voted best Spire of '06 on GameFAQs. ;D
SF was good, but it was never too good. It was basically the only alternative to sniping at competitive levels.
That's a complete myth. The width of a freeze was the size of a regular Jud shot (or at least I would presume that it is a Jud; maybe it's a custom width, but the point is it's as thin as most other bullets in the game). If you line up an SF and hit them, then move a tiny bit to the side and shoot again, you'll miss. The reason people feel like the size is larger is because you can hit the person anywhere on their body. People were pretty awful at dealing with SF anyway. The key was to constantly keep on a different height level. Most people just tried to fight it straight up, which is why freezing them was so easy. Playing with radar on didn't help, but obviously the game was campy enough even with radar on.
They're not. If you were playing for millions of dollars, you would basically have to go Trace. The only exception would be if you want to use Samus or Sylux's alt forms instead, and just pick up the sniper, but the benefits of their alts aren't worth it because Trace is the only one who can get the Imp on certain maps, and even on maps with the Imp (like High Ground), it's a million times more difficult for non-Trace players to get access to the Imp while Trace can just grab any affinity orb.
Sylux wasn't that good. People would pick Sylux for his good alt speed and use other characters' weapons. No one would use him competitively on a map without an Imp pickup.
Nah, it was pretty fraudulent. The community was pretty cool, but the game was so whack that there's no way we should have been competing in it. lol I think the aiming with the stylus was actually really responsive and the character designs were interesting and unique, and those two things were at the core of what kept interest in the game for so long. It definitely could have been balanced better, but it definitely had some gaping flaws that would have required fairly massive overhauls.
Nah, that's accurate. You're just bitter because it's the truth. lol[/collapse]
Once upon a time I was in that band. Then I left for school. I'm lame.
ha that's be chill as hell, but unfortunately I'm poor as hell and can't afford it this year (I'm going to a comic-con the week after apex this year and I don't have a job, sooo)
I know we've played only like, a couple of times, but I remember we were pretty even in our Noxus dittos a LONG time ago. I do remember everyone praising your Spire though. ; )
