Washington alone is enough to crush Idaho's hopes.

Hey so I'll be in Moscow when this thing rolls around. If it's looking good and there's a spot open on the N. Idaho ride for me I'd probably take it (depending on what school has in store for me).

Also, I have a few questions. For those in Idaho who only play Brawl, or play more Brawl than Melee, or play both but only really try to improve in Brawl, what are your reasons?

Is Melee just not fun for you, as a game, and it's more entertaining to play Brawl? Is it too technical/hard/etc.? Do you feel like there's too much of a skill gap in Melee, like you have a better chance of doing well in Brawl?

Because I can't do much about that first one, but I can do quite a bit about the second two. I can start not being so silent during matches at smashfests, and give tips and advice, tell you what habits I'm noticing and how I'm beating you, etc. I even know a lot of tricks that makes some technical stuff considerably easier, like groundteching, moonwalking, pivoting, improving laser spam with fox/falco, etc., stuff you can find on the boards but you just might not have stumbled across.

The reason I don't do this currently is because some people get annoyed by it. But if someone's willing to hear what I have to say, knowing it will most likely help and potentially break down whatever it is that has them playing Brawl instead of a much more (potentially) entertaining game, then I'd be down. Whatever it takes to improve the Melee scene and quit hearing calls for Brawl on the big screen at knuttz :p.

Haha I believe I fit under the category of "play both but only really try to improve in Brawl".

I would greatly appreciate IN GAME criticism to tell me specifically what I'm doing wrong and what I should be doing instead. I think the main reason I focus on Brawl is because I feel I have a better chance in Brawl and I'm just too far behind in melee. I'd definitely like that to change though.

Have some confidence mr. 33! But truthfully in Melee, Qraq, Gnosis (if he doesn't choke on ****), BC, and ME could do...OK...middle of the pack....Brawl I don't know..you could run into some hardcore scrubs....or play the old melee players....I think we are supposed to go to this too...

I'll second that. And I know BC would def help people too...and I know qraq would...Felix would too if he would ever come to smashfests! :p

I think you are right gnosis, it is the skill gap. It takes ALOT longer to get good at melee than brawl...How long have you guys been playing with real tech skill? I'm at a little more than 1.5-2 years not including at when I quit for a while...and i know others are WAY more than me....
Here something I will keep on saying...If you are serious at all in brawl, Play melee. The superior mindgames/timing will carry over to brawl. Brawl is full of tricks and chaingrabs vs. melee which takes skill.

Brawl is the sexy slutty ******** bipolar sister of melee...Its easy as hell, looks nice, sounds beautiful, but offers nothing else...

Problem is i dont have a car (suspended license doesnt help either) and getting to out of state tourneys is almost always not an option for me. Hence, i dont rly have an incentive to improve so much >.> But ill try to make it to as many gatherings here as i can..

I'm talking my to my friends to see if one of them wants to drive so we can bring more players.
So if we have an open spot I'll be sure you get it.

I ain't down with Friday. Got things to do.

edit: And I've finally decided to quit messing around and focus on actually having a main. And that main is Sheik, and I'm deciding on one secondary out of fox/falco/marth. So yeah.

We should do a little something. Like maybe just me Knuttz and felix since I can go to knuttz pretty much whenever.

Or just whoever can come.

I think Knuttz said thursdays were good for him.

Cake I definitely want to go to tourneyplay. How many spots do you have open in your car? I'm in for sure, but I have a large pool of random's that like to do brawl stuff with me, so I might need a second spot. Keep me posted because I won't be able to afford it unless I get a carpool.

^ Alright.

I have 3 passenger seats available. And I'm sure some EaWa players might want to come as well with my friends. So the closer it comes the better knowledge I'll have on who will be coming with me.

Will you be able to drive if you had people paying for gas?
