i think when a computer recognizes a usb device that just means its charging not that its sending information

the gamepad can also be charged by plugging into the system but it doesnt function as a wired controller

yea, i havent played it much though

if u can, get a bunch of ammo on your character, go die and then come back and kill your zombie self to get all your stuff back.

doing this will allow me to kill you and get all of your ammo (you wont lose anything in your game)





pleeeeeeeeeeease

The only way I can see large tournaments working is actually to banish BYOC and provide wiimotes to designated stations. You'd have "refs" manage and work them so wiimotes don't go off during tournaments on accident and hopefully reducing interference.

That will auto fail. Handheld fighters are never tournament worthy and would cause even worse problems for a tournament than **** wireless controllers would.

1. Requesting a Nintendo fan base to bring non Nintendo equipment will be a hassle. Hell, most of you don't bring nintendo equipment to a nintendo tournament.

2. The 360/ps3 crowd are generally older players(19+). i dont want mass amounts of older kids around the wiiu crowd (19 and below). it causes multiple problems. drugs/drinking/profanity and other bull **** a new scene (the wiiu scene) doesnt need at the beginning.

3, I want to start a wiiu scene. smash/kart/injustice...whatever. its simple.

4. I wanna support a company (nintendo) that is responsible for making me the legend i am today.

5. Xfactor is seriously stupid. Its like allowing smash balls.

6. Marvel 3 doesnt have Spiderman/commando/guile. its a **** game.

'Horror frog' breaks own bones to produce claws




"Amphibian horror" isn't a movie genre, but on this evidence perhaps it should be. Harvard biologists have described a bizarre, hairy frog with cat-like extendable claws.
Trichobatrachus robustus actively breaks its own bones to produce claws that puncture their way out of the frog's toe pads, probably when it is threatened.
David Blackburn and colleagues at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, think the gruesome behaviour is a defence mechanism.
The researchers say there are salamanders that force their ribs through their skin to produce protective barbs on demand, but nothing quite like this mechanism has been seen before.
The feature is also found in nine of the 11 frogs belonging to the Astylosternusgenus, most of which live in Cameroon.
Instant weapon

"Some other frogs have bony spines that project from their wrist, but in those species it appears that the bones grow through the skin rather than pierce it when needed for defence," says Blackburn.
At rest, the claws of T. robustus, found on the hind feet only, are nestled inside a mass of connective tissue. A chunk of collagen forms a bond between the claw's sharp point and a small piece of bone at the tip of the frog's toe.
The other end of the claw is connected to a muscle. Blackburn and his colleagues believe that when the animal is attacked, it contracts this muscle, which pulls the claw downwards. The sharp point then breaks away from the bony tip and cuts through the toe pad, emerging on the underside.
Hirsute horror

The end result may look like a cat's claw, but the breaking and cutting mechanism is very different and unique among vertebrates. Also unique is the fact that the claw is just bone and does not have an outer coating of keratin like other claws do.
Because Blackburn has only studied dead specimens, he says he does not know what happens when the claw retracts - or even how it retracts. It does not appear to have a muscle to pull it back inside so the team think it may passively slide back into the toe pad when its muscle relaxes.
"Being amphibians, it would not be surprising if some parts of the wound heal and the tissue is regenerated," says Blackburn.
Males of the species, which grows to about 11 centimetres, also produce long hair-like strands of skin and arteries when they breed (see image). It is thought that the "hairs" allow them to take in more oxygen through their skin while they take care of their brood.
Spiky snack

In Cameroon, they are roasted and eaten. Hunters use long spears and machetes to kill the frogs, apparently to avoid being hurt by their claws.
"This is an incredible story," says Ian Stephen, curator of herpetology at theZoological Society of London, UK. "Some frogs grow spines on their thumbs during breeding season, but this is entirely different."
"For me, it highlights the need for a lot more research on amphibians especially in light of the threat of mass extinctions," he adds.
The existence of frogs with erectile claws like cats was first described by Belgian zoologist George Boulenger in 1900 in frogs found in the French Congo, now the Republic of Congo.

Injustice would be a terrible game to try to start a community.

It's made by the same people who made MK vs DC. Think about that for a second.

Oh so i shouldnt create a smash4 scene because the people that are making smash4 also made BRAWL (the WORST smash game)? Anyways, the dudes who made injustice also made MK9 and that turned out to be the best or 2nd best MK game. All i wanna do is give it a chance, if it does decent/well and people show interest, ill keep it going. If people dont wanna play or dont really treat it serious, ill drop it. I have nothing to lose.


Ive learned a lot in my time as a TO and its obvious that smash alone (especially a bad smash game like brawl) can only last so long. With melee we got 7 great years, 2 bad ones (the first 2 years of brawl) and now melee is back for a few more because it is an exceptional game. Brawl is on the decline (in all areas) and i truly don't see it reaching anywhere near the level of longevity that melee has. So ill give smash4 and 1 or 2 other games a shot. I was thinking kart/injustice for now.

BariBariBall looks really good too. That would fit in great at a Smash tournament obviously and I can only assume it will release before Smash 4.

I'm thinkin' about going to a tournament in a few months or so; randomly got that urge to play some Brawl. I think it's been almost two years or so since I touched the game.
