Exactly, lol. When you repeatedly DASH ATTACK into a character and they can just roll away in one direction.. you know there's a problem. If you're saying MK's forward roll has more vulnerability I'm seriously scared for when people start abusing them at high level X(

I'm really hoping Nintendo patches rolling. I know tons of semi-casual players have been complaining about it on smashboards/reddit/etc, if their voices are heard it'd make the game SO much better. I feel like a good fourth of the reason why matches last so long is due to just how much more evasive this game is on the ground compared to all the other ones.

It's kinda like... the optimal punish for a roll is to roll yourself to the "better" position or something. Sometimes I think Sakurai/Namco had some grand plan on dynamic neutral "it's better than standing still and just buffering spot dodge into power shields right?".

When I'm playing for glory and I'm feeling the roll spam and go Falco, abusing my longer than average, reactively rolling to a roll and jabbing the ***** because **** scrubs being able to buffer turn around punishes on wifi.

A lot of characters have long range dash-like attacks that excel at hard-core ****ing people for double rolling (they cover the distance of two rolls with elongated duration hitboxes). I think in theory we could've come to be fine with rolls, but the disparity of 25 to 30 framers and who has the 25s is irksome.

Brawl gens are old gens since next March is 7 years.
Xyro can be considered Ancient, like a Pharaoh so we gotta bury him with his many achievements once he leaves this Smash world.

Illmatic is kewl, I miss going to tournaments. Houston going to SA when?

A small Road to TGC 2 update: http://smashboards.com/threads/dec-...-2-free-food-free-venue-houston-texas.370613/


Hey guys, tonight around 2am central time, the 1st Mario Kart DLC pack will be released. TGC 2 will support the DLC for its Mario Kart 8 event so it is in your best interest to get the DLC and train on the new stages before TGC 2.

To see what you get in the DLC pack, go here: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...around_the_legend_of_zelda_x_mario_kart_8_dlc


Also, for those of you that want early practice on the final WiiU version of smash 4, GameStop is doing a smash WiiU demo from 6pm-9pm on Nov 14th. This practice, along with the 15 days of practice after the release of Smash WiiU on Nov 21st is a decent head start in preparation for TGC 2.

To see a list of locations that have the WiiU smash demo, please go here: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/pages/events/SuperSmashBros_Demo/

I'm pretty sure RoyR should be considered old gen since he was playing before MLG Houston, which was 2005...

Those interested in capture card for Smash U, Newegg has them on sale.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0TP-0072-00001&ignorebbr=1

This is the one I will be using, and I would recommend. It works extremely well, just make sure you have a good computer/laptop (and a looooooot of free space) for it to capture correctly. Use promo code EMCWWWG36 for extra 10% off, and it should come out to $152.20 with free shipping. Not too bad for a fairly new capture card that can do 1080p60fps for consoles.

If you don't care about 60fps and are fine with 30fps, they also have the older Game capture HD card for sale as well. Just use same promo code to get the extra 10% off.

Flip, I turn 27 in 2 days. STILL trying to finish school/get a non stepping stone job, find a girlfriend who hates MK+likes kids (claire) and can handle my receding hairline....etc. Smash 4 is very fun and I love it but DAYUM I'm old/have a lot on my plate. Melee was out 7 years, brawl was 6 so what if smash 4 is out for another 6 years? If my calculus is right (and it always is) Id be 33 when smash 5 comes out.

I'm sure little tommy's mommy will LOVE (sarcasm btw) to drop her kid off at 33 year old's venue to play pikachu vs mario. Lolol no :(


Then I gotta worry about one of the nightmares I have every once in a while. It's about when Claire goes to 2nd grade and has a "career day" where they ask parents to come to school to tell the students what they do for a living. "HI KIDZ IM XYRO77 AND INSTEAD OF DOING SOMETHING COOL LIKE CREATING A CURE FOR
EBOLA I ACTUALLY SIT ON MY ASS TALKING ON A VIDEO GAME FORUM TO KIDS HALF MY AGE ABOUT FALCHION BLADES AND POKEMANS PUNCHING DANKEY KANGS OH AND I RUN TOURNAMENTS WHERE RAINBOW EGGS ARE THROWN BY GREEN DINOSAURS WANNA COME AND PLAY?!?!? OH BTW SEE THAT GIRL RIGHT THERE? THATS CLAIRE AND IM SURE SHE WILL REGRET ME LATER IN LIFE K BYE"


Lol so yeah I refuse to host in smash 5.

Honestly, my previous laptop still works great (probably needs a replacement battery to be true portable again) and still has great specs, I just stopped using it because the fan started making noises. If you can find someone to fix the fan (I'm too lazy, huehuehue), I could let you borrow for TGC for an extended period of time...

The kart 8 DLC is really good. The F-zero track and Hyrule track have pretty smart elements. I love it!!!

Rosalina+blue falcon=hot.
