Watching some Project M and Melee matches by the Professionals. Gets me excited to think what HungryBox is going to do at the Tournament.

I don't know. Living my life. Working. Starting my businesses.

It's better to be productive.

Playing some Ninja Gaiden to further familiarize myself with Ryu Hayabusa so I can be properly excited.

Actually, not to get too off-topic, but I figure I'll mention it here anyway. Someone should make a thread for Ryu on the character discussion board. I'd do it, but I don't know enough about him and it'd be half***ed. Just throwing it out there.

I honestly don't know..Sleep, play video games, and eat, maybe? I'll be going to graduation parties too, so there's that.

My main goal at the moment is to not go insane because of this milestone in my life. That should keep me busy until E3. lol

That's not important. What's important right now is Smash Bros and E3. Sure, E3 does come every year and graduation parties are a once in a lifetime thing, BUT. Smash Bros is far more important. If you think I haven't gotten into an argument with my ex over Smash Bros, you're sadly mistaken. There's also a reason why I say ex. How could I be with someone who isn't as skilled as me? The point I'm trying to make here is that high school doesn't matter. HS memories are just that. Memories that will make you sad when you're older and realize life sucks. But you'll have Smash everyday. Consider this.

Strut around and show off your stars online. And get all the kart pieces and the hidden gold kart pieces. That should waste more time.
I admit, I haven't gotten all the parts yet. But playing just to get coins feels.... mind numbing. So, basically, perfect

All diffcultys? (Even mirriored)
yep. And I hate mirror mode, because it undoes my muscle memory for the courses.

It's torture, really. The wait, I mean :(.

I sometimes play Brawl or PM just imagining that it's Smash 4...*sigh...

I honestly don't foresee our beloved Smash professionals pulling out anything super magical at this tournament.

Even with some time to practice with the game, the kind of time they put in to the previous iterations to get to the level they are at is a phenomenal amount of time that is both necessary and crucial to reaching the level they play at. I just do not see them showing us a similar level of play in the new game, given time to practice or not, with changed mechanics and all.

Think about it...we're looking at a directly confirmed approx. 25% difference in general game speed from both Melee and Brawl. That's a rather huge difference in fundamentals necessary to perfect your spacing, your pace, and timing. Add to the fact that many of the returning characters have brand new moves that they will have to, although I don't it past them to do so, we're looking at several hurdles to over come that simply must be over come by more than simply having an affinity for all the previous Smash games.

I'm excited to see how they tackle it, the players I mean, but I'm honestly not really expecting to see magic up there. I truly expect to see pretty average play that maybe even a lot of us would be able to compete with (give or take a few good intuition moments).
I agree with this for the most part, though I think they'd still have a notable advantage over us just on fundamentals... But this isn't exactly the thread for this sort of discussion is it?

I posted it in the correct thread, it was a mistake. My bad.

I was hit by a lightning bolt and usurped by a jerk with a bullet bill right near the finish line.
I was in 1st.
I was ready to shank someone.

I have been watching game-play from each of the tournament invitees to pass the time. I have also been playing Mario Kart 8 and Melee/Brawl/Project M as well.

A bit of PSO BB and other old games from time to time, and preparing some things for when Palutena's revealed. I plan to have a party with some Skype friends and/or Palutena supporters.
