Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Mr. game and watch]

How does one fight for his friends, if he has none?

 

[Ussi]

Foster's home for imaginary friends



Or inanimate objects... Or animals (laguz)

 

[AN(M)ist]

laguz aren't animals. they're sub-humans.

My apologies to any Laguz reading this post. I did not intend to use the term "sub-human" in any offensive form.

Spoiler

Play the game is you're confused much.

 

[Heartstring]

I hate Ike.

i thought i told you to go read cupcakes. THEN we can talk

There is the term humanoid as in human shaped.

I'm so mad. I'm leaving to go to this tourney in SC and then Dallas has TWO tournaments in two days while I'm gone-- when we haven't had a real tournament here in.. some time.

 

[Ussi]

sucks to be yooooou

 

[Blubolouis]

I'm going to a small tournament with plenty of good players this w-e. I'm hyped :I
I'll use s=1/S as a tag if I remember.

 

[san.]

I need to get a passport because the nearest tournaments to me is in Canada

 

[the king of murder]

Sooo, I was experimenting with Ike a little bit and I noticed that Jab 2 cancelled into U-tilt hits a lot more than Jab 1 --> U-tilt. Do you guys feel the same?

 

[Zatchiel]

It depends on who you're playing against, imo. You have to switch up the timing sometimes for it to be effective. Jab1 > Utilt is more likely to hit opponents than Jab2 >Utilt, from what I've seen. It works, though.

 

[the king of murder]

I guess it's also DI dependent. I always try to mix up Jab1 cancel options with Jab2 cancel options so my opponents are confused.

 

[Teh Brettster]

It does not feel like that. Ever.

 

[Ussi]

jab 2 feels too slow when trying to cancel it.

gogo san get a passport o.o; though it does take a while for it to get processed, i think my family had to pay extra just to get it processed in one month (however it was done in 2 weeks xD) the general wait is 2 months i think

 

[Nysyarc]

Omg, get your passport and then come to Hellasmashed V this summer. Mid-August, a thread for it'll be up soon.

 

[Teh Brettster]

If I win a lot of money
And don't spend it all on the trip

Oh who am I kidding? Traveling costs a lot. I won't make it to Halifax any time very soon. =\

 

[san.]

Toronto/Missisauga is less than a 3 hour drive away from where I currently am. That's much shorter than anywhere else, and there probably aren't going to be any tourneys in my area anymore, really.

 

[Nysyarc]

Yah and of course you're quite a bit further away than San too. Don't worry about it, we'll always have more tournaments. Whenever we host something big we usually get the same turnout of like 30-40 since we rarely get out-of-Province interest. Hellasmashed this summer though may draw out players from Ontario/Alberta/other places.

 

[Ussi]

san gonna be on the canada PR at this rate

 

[theeboredone]

Ussi, Fear 3's multiplayer has some survival zombie modes...are you gonna spend 60 bucks for this one mode?

 

[Ussi]

probably not, my friend lacks money to buy anything (and we are partners in killing zombies). Besides the 3rd black ops map pack is coming out in 8 days so i have a new map already on the way.

 

[Mr. Doom]

Ussi, if you're not going to spend money on Fear 3, then play my modded Doom levels. It's 33 maps of fun.

 

[Ussi]

I don't have a laptop anymore :|

I was cooking with my laptop nearby and i bumped into it knocking it over and the screen cracked from how it fell... :S

I can't afford a new one so i just borrow my sisters' laptops time to time

 

[Heartstring]

question is guys, if a massive smash event was to be held in england (same size as bushido impact, which ally came to last year, but its not happening this time) and there was a large enough size pot for brawl, would americans come to it?

im having nice thoughts about hosting a european sized event...location is a sizable problem though
anyway, just pondering others thoughts

Only well known US players prolly. The issue with events such as that is that unless yer pulling M2K like wins each tournament. Then you'd more or less will break even on the ticket, housing, and what-not

 

[Heartstring]

well, euro got etablished as good last year when ally got merked by a 15 y.o so i assume some may want to come

 

[jamlosingthegame]

i thought i told you to go read cupcakes. THEN we can talk

Oh man that was an... interesting read (my friend will never look at cupcakes the same way).

@Ussi: Killing zombies? Don't you dare touch my jiang-shi waifu :V

Yeah now I know when to spend my graduation money for my brother. Reminds me that we just bought RE: Afterlife on Blu-Ray just for our Blu-Ray player and new flatscreen, which I'll only be using during the summer because then I get to dorm at Stony Brook. According to a friend, I ended up at the dorms with air conditioning.

 

[Ussi]

Ally didn't main MK then.

No worries jam, i'll be killing zombies in a jungle in China i believe.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Well....that's....a new one.

san, just move to Philly. Canada...uhh...it smells! Yeah, that's it!

 

[Teh Brettster]

I can play 3 different well-known orchestral themes on my ocarina well enough to be recognized.

Finale of the Firebird Suite by Igor Stavinksy

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

La Donna e Mobile from Rigoletto by Guiseppe Verdi

I am now the coolest person I know.

 

[•Col•]

Hey, which port should I be using for teams again? I always forget... Is it 1 with my partner at 4(Then if I HAVE to, me at 2 and my teamate at 3)...?

 

[san.]

It's better to be at a lower port instead of a higher port, so you can tank ish and your friend doesn't have to worry about getting hit out of grabs.

Ike doesn't benefit with high port as much as others because Ike already tanks, and gives you the freedom to throw out dash attack, fair, etc out of grabs.
So 1, 4 with you as one.

@Berserker
Yeah, but Philly is like 6 hours away.

@Nys
It would consider it down the road if it's possible to get tickets around $200.

 

[Nysyarc]

Cool. Housing options on-location are currently very cheap too.

For anyone else who cares and wants to help make the NS motto come true ("We ban MK and lose to Ikes"):

Someone make sense out of this. Plz.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Platform canceled to FSmash.

Dang, keepin' it stylish.

Well, not platform cancel because it's not a platform per se, but same concept I'm assuming.

I think I was still in hitstun/spinning though. :l
I only remembered pressing L to airdodge+like 2 directions when I got at that height and tried to buffer a Fair but then that happened...lol

Brawl mechanics obv to blamethank

 

[Nysyarc]

Definitely looks like a platform cancel to me, although I didn't know that was possible on Brinstar... probably shouldn't be.
