Houston Smash Ultimate Thread

[kj22]

Season 1&2 of Arrow on Netflix,.

Season 1 finale was so good. Dang, you might get sucked into the vortex of arrow tonight lol.

Don't worry, you'll hate her all of season 2 lol. Felicity doe.

Please tell me you guys also watch The Flash...

Also next week I'm off wed/thursday. any weeklies going on those days/anybody down to to smash with me?

 

[UltimateRazer]

Oh I definitely watch Flash. Flash is gdlk.

 

[kj22]

Time travel though...
I wish I could shut myself off from the media till the flash finishes, then binge watch each episode till the finale.

Waiting a week/month+ is killing me

 

[kj22]

Also anybody going to the Katy tournament this weekend willing to give me a ride? Really would like to go...

 

[UltimateRazer]

Tesh, I thought they patched where Luma can't hit you if I grab Rosalina. WTF

 

[Xyro77]

Bayonetta 2 time again. Best action game ever made. It's ridiculously over the top.

gah, I need to get this, but I have so many games in my backlog already. Plus trying to train for TGC and TX Showdown

 

[alex mora]

you sound like you was dropped on your head as a child. your not in houston and dont know whats going on so why are you here troll?



gameguys has a bad rep with the fgc from not paying the dallas soul caliber players and down talking insomnia. i lost all respect when they started to run tournaments the same day as insomnia out of spite to try and split the community up. that was the last draw for me and my friends. we support the scene anyway we can but not gameguys cause all they want to do is split the scene up. the words that they said to insomnia was out of line. everyone needs to know what kind of business this is and to not support it.

I know Devin runs the smash 4 tourneys at GG's and i know the standard he has set himself at with his events thats why i supported SFC @ GG's, BUT I personally do not like GG's. What they did to Augs and how they have treated the FGC as a whole is pretty ****ty. I wont support GGIK2 either their venue is actually ruining houston smash in a lot of ways but i dont want to get into why because it mostly pertains to Melee and PM and out of respect for Xyro i wont bring it up here. A lot of smashers are disowning gameguys after IK2 flops hard like it will. Hopefully devin can find a new better more centralized venue in houston for SFC's in the future. just my two cents, carry on about onion liking too many posts.

 

[UltimateRazer]

LMAO tesh, Mac cannot survive in this meta.

Are these places stealing money?

 

[Teshie U]

Tesh, I thought they patched where Luma can't hit you if I grab Rosalina. WTF

If you start pummeling me and the pummel isn't hitting luma, i can hit you. Its just it cant hit you during the throw or right when i get grabbed (unless it was already doing something).

I think Mac is fine vs what you were running. I'm a bit disillusioned about that side B, its glitchy when buffered and sometimes just falls. If you had that wind punch, it would be pretty scary for mac, but that one takes a bit to charge. I don't think the fast one is too useful.

But yea, windboxes that push out are trouble. DK up B actually helped me recover 90% of the time but you freakin down tilt i couldnt get past.

Also I hate DK side B more than anything. That thing breaks full shields.

 

[UltimateRazer]

Lol all the wind stuff just makes it too hard for Mac.

That's what DK does. Make you shield to block up b spam leads to being able to side b.

 

[kj22]

2 more spots open for the tournament in katy tomorrow. there will be singles and dubz, and they adjusted payout to actually be normal lol. any takers from sync's house? (80 ppl cap, not many good players there, easy money...)

 

[Teshie U]

Shielding on platforms is kindof what I would do anyway. I'm just a little ticked that I saw it coming and couldn't react, but thats online can't john there.

I don't have to worry about up B much. I just need to remember I can mash out with fast moves. 90% of the time I wouldn't think to hit someone back for hitting me in this game, but I was able to do with with lots of characters so I should just take those trades.

@ kj22 Karna has beaten almost everyone is Houston in the past couple of weeks so have fun fighting over 2nd place for that refund.

thats still 200 bucks, plus if we team in dubz pretty much guaranteed first so even more

 

[Teshie U]

@ UltimateRazer Trying to figure out just how unsafe on hit that move is. I figured it was something small like 5-6 frames because I hit you out of it with sheik and sonic easily, but I also got out with rosalina's nair thats frame 9 I think. Honestly, I think that means anyone can kill DK for landing the early hit of that move.


How'd you like my Marth though? I think that up B is a huge deal for him. All he needed was a grab game.

 

[UltimateRazer]

I still think DK up b is broken. You literally have to resort to trading and even that's not guaranteed.

Grab release into up b is literally a free kill. His customs I guess give him much easier kill options.

 

[Teshie U]

Yea, you gotta watch how you mash, I'm not sure how it works in smash 4, but you stopped letting me get it the 2nd match.

For DK Up B, trading is plan B if you got hit by it. Thats actually really good (or bad if you are DK). the move does 15 damage. Not very impressive for a heavyweight. If I trade with you after taking the first hit, I only took 3 damage and I'll likely hit you before the 2nd hit comes out.

For example, in the sheik match I got hit, then uaired spiked you into a follow up which lead to me taking 3 damage and you taking 50 damage. And thats just IF it hit me. I can still just punish it on shield or whiff or beat it as its coming out (frame 15 super armor is not fast at all).

DK Up B is a direct upgrade for competitive 1v1 thats for certain, but I don't think its the best custom. I think Villager trip sapling is the strongest. It literally sits there and does things for you and doesn't affect villager. It can be used for intelligent stage control like Snake or Pacman do with their deployables, but its also a braindead tool that villager doesn't have to pay attention to at all.

In some ways its less dumb than Diddy's Banana though. If you don't have a relatively safe way to assault Diddy shielding with a banana in hand, he can sit with it almost indefinitely, but Villager's sapling has to be replanted every 15 seconds and he will easily get punished for trying to set it up without knocking his opponent away first.

With that said, I'd had to also acknowledge that if you can't safely hit Diddy's shield with something, your character is probably terrible and can't survive in any ruleset.

so the melee and pm community is disowning them to. everyone now is seeing what is truly going on. first the fgc now the melee and pm and soon to be smash 4. what exactly did they do at Augs? everyone should know so air it out so people can stop supporting this venue. me and my friends go to alot of smash tournaments. we play everything and wanted to show up to Devin tournament but once we heard it was at gameguys we did not go. i to hope that devin can find a better venue because hosting tournaments at that venue with that bad rep only adds a bad rep to the TO's name. gameguys is shady as to why everyone is leaving them and not supporting them anymore. i agree that the venue is ruining houston as a whole. they tried to ruin the fgc by harassing players calling there homes and disrespecting them because they didnt join the gameguys team. what austin was saying was right when he said gameguys employees harassed him. he isnt the only one they harassed. they went as far as to cursing one of the players out on the phone because he said he didnt want to join there team then try to belittle him by saying "you stay at your moms home, you probably going to be there forever so take this gameguys opportunity because its once in a lifetime". they called his house phone and nobody gave them the number to call. the shady stuff they have done and are still doing goes real deep and should be aired out completely. IK2 will probably flop because they lied last year about using the irams venue and there going to lie this year again.

LMAO tesh, Mac cannot survive in this meta.

gameguys is stealing everyones money who supports them. other places me and my friends havent heard or experienced anything bad from them but from gameguys yes. insomnia is a nice place and is legit for the community.

 

[Fliphopper]

Sorry, I get that you're trying to make a point about not supporting Game Guys, but it's really hard to follow your posts if you're not making paragraphs to separate points or capitalizing anything. I starting going cross eyed reading halfway of that post.

Also there =/= their.

Oh Hermitaur, your angry crab noises amuse me so much.

[RunC.T.]

I can take up to 7 people.

Right now it's

Xyro
KJ
Avoid

I'm down. when are you leaving?

 

[Suspect]

Brush your teeth before you quote me again

 

[AvoiD]

Flash > Arrow? Haven't started Season 3 yet but the first two were good. Thea was annoying af but more towards the second season she got better.

Laurel and Felicity though.. yes. Just yes.

 

[Xyro77]

gah, I need to get this, but I have so many games in my backlog already. Plus trying to train for TGC and TX Showdown

Bayonetta 2 comes with the physical disc of Bayonetta 1. I don't know if that is a timed bonus or not so you may wanna buy the game asap and just have it on your shelf until you can play it. Make sure to buy it new Though. Support Platinum and Nintendo!

Two 59$ games for the price of one is awesome. Also, the Platinum devs have increased frame rate and graphics of Bayo 1 to where it's locked in at 60 frames/720p. Making it the definitive version. So really, this 2 for 1 deal is insane. Def get it.

 

[RunC.T.]

dang, just recently got netflix so can y'all hook me up on some good shows to watch? adventure, action, mystery or what have you.

 

[Xyro77]

Should have asked us for a Netflix account. I share mine all the time.

Watch "Arrow"
Watch "Agents of Shield"

And soon, the Netflix exclusive "DareDevil" will appear on Netflix. Supposed to be super good.

Bayonetta 2 was funded by Nintendo. I highly doubt it will go to an platform without Nintendo asking for money.

 

[Kihrah]

dang, just recently got netflix so can y'all hook me up on some good shows to watch? adventure, action, mystery or what have you.

There are a lot of high quality shows on Netflix. These are some of the best:
House of Cards, season 1-2 are great.
Orange is the New Black
Lilyhammer
Marco Polo (cinematography is top notch and can be fun to watch but I wouldn't consider this a premier show)
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead (has its slow moments)
BBC's Sherlock
American Horror Story (I guess..)
Dexter
TED Talks
Top Gear
Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
Spartacus
and more I'm sure

No no I mean that I didn't know if the inclusion of Bayo 1 is a perm thing or a temp thing. The best way to go about it is to just get the game asap

 

[Suspect]

I forgot bayonetta 2 comes with part 1. I might go ahead and buy it to have for when I eventually get a Wii u. Trying not to buy anything till after e3

 

[Trela]

So another national was announced today with 2 stock 6 min no customs in the Midwest, Combo Breaker. This and CEO are the only OoS major tournaments I would even consider attending.

I'm a little disappointed after all that I won't be attending Aftershock tomorrow, as I really wanted the chance to play those who are gonna be there like ZeRo and Dabuz. If I was really determined enough, I could of bought Megabus tickets not too long ago and travel by myself, but what's the fun in that? I can certainly be a tryhard when it comes to this game, but when it's just me playing at that point without any of my other close friends.......no, I won't do it.

But I know that there will always be a next time when it comes to these tournaments, so that's why I'm putting this out there: Would anyone be interested in going to Combo Breaker or CEO? 2 stocks isn't the best, but having no customs helps out a lot in making a better decision, in my opinion. Both events would be out of the question honestly if they did have customs.

 

[Teshie U]

Its a permanent thing Xyro. Even if you buy one on the eshop for 40, they will give you a massive discount on buying the other one. Disc is the way to go though. Wii U Eshop has alot of download only games that are good and you dont want to waste your space on games you could just get physical copies of.

Xyro don't forget to do your club nintendo stuff if you haven't already. If you only have 1 copy of the game, you can pair up with someone who has the other so you can both get the download.

 

[Kihrah]

I'm interested

You can pair with someone who has the other? I only have the Wii U version. My friend has both - Can I pair with him then?

Also there =/= their.

the points are out there and are valid. i hardly post on the forums. i lurk so i apologize for the long paragraphs just stating facts here. i provided screen caps of what i witnessed so you know the truth. me and my crew will be going to insomnia tournaments, tgc and others as well just not gameguys. i seen you before so ill talk to you about it when i see you again.

No one knows for sure, but the way Nintendo usually does downloadable rewards is they just send you an email with the codes.

Each set of 3ds and wii u games should score you 1 3ds download code and 1 wii u download code. So no, your friend will get his two codes and you need to find someone with only the 3ds version so you can both get a code each.

I know alot of you have the wii u only, but quite a few of us had the 3ds version and never got a wii u. If you havent registered your codes make sure you folks can get both games registered on the same club nintendo account before the 31st.

In any case, I dont think mewtwo will be tourney legal until he is released for public purchase.
