Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Nysyarc]

Speaking of big tourneys, anybody planning on going to Apex 2012 at this point? NS smash scene might just be making a pilgrimage on down to NY for it, though nothing confirmed yet.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Not me.

10nope

 

[san.]

I should, yes.

 

[-RedX-]

Maybe.

Spoiler

Translates to absolutely not. :[

Don't you live the closest to where it's actually happening out of all of us though? If it's a money issue, get yoself a job. If it's a different issue... I dunno, fix it, lol.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Hey Red. I know where you live.



Nysyarc with that "Deal with it" status.

I think that's in January? I would be interested in going, should Georgia have organized a carpool beforehand. My mom still doesn't really trust the community OoS yet. I was lucky to get to AL for HASL. But there's much time before Apex, so I'll consider that and say I'm interested in my current position.

I can try for one day depending on who's willing to bring me there. :I

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Walk, nub. Break out them power azn legs.

 

[AN(M)ist]

azn don't use power. They utilize chi and chakra.

Lol Chakra. In hindi that means Wheel.

 

[Ussi]

I always go to apex

 

[san.]

I doubted what people said, but after playing it, Jam with the Band for the DS is actually pretty nice. After watching the Youtube videos, it looked impossible, but after like an hour, I reached master level (all 8 face buttons + L/R). It's still pretty tough, though.

Maybe I can do something like that after a while.

Holy crap... I think I'll just stick to Guitar Hero for my rhythm game needs. I guess I could probably pick that up with some effort but it doesn't look like it would be as fun as GH anyways, IMO.

 

[benaji261!]

So beer tastes like crud, and Ike is awesome. We should play sometime [anyone] and see if I've improved at all.

 

[YagamiLight]

Hey Light, some big tournament is happening here in SD, You coming? M@K ,Mikehaze and the like will be attending.

Might be heading to SD sometime this month, will see if I can get it to coincide with the tournament.

Getting from Norcal to SD is no easy feat, sadly. Driving from my area is a good 8+ hours.

 

[Reizilla]

How's it going, Ike boards?

 

[Ussi]

Mowing the lawn in the morning is tiresome

 

[Heartstring]

Mowing the lawn in the morning is tiresome

has your mower got wheels?
because if its one of the ones that sorta slide around without wheels then you can look cool and feel manly by swinging the lawnmower around...makes cool grass patterns too

lol thats one way to look at a tentatively tedious task. btw the tournament at my location is not genesis but e4v champions.

no honestly, i feel positively ganonic after mowing the lawn because every time i swing the lawn mower around it feels like im throwing a large object around gracefully
this is because i swing it around by the power cord...unsafe, but super fun and satisfying

I was informed to post this on teh ike boards. I can only assume it was Mr doom telling me too

 

[theeboredone]

Well, woke up late to miss doubles (cause I can), so gonna be heading out for singles, cause it starts in an hour.

 

[disasterABDUL]

when is Apex again?
I'm considering it if enough people here in Georgia want to go.
and of course if work allows it U_U

"Wow, Touhou series games are known for bullet hell, I guess their music is known for button hell."

I lol'd at that comment.

I don't think I can keep up with that, but it looks like fun.


Bringing this over from the critique thread so as not to clutter it. I was just wondering what moves do we have that can get us out of juggles/CGs (lol yeah right). I was thinking maybe holding out jab for some CGs if they mess up the timing. Just curious.

 

[san.]

To get out of juggles if you don't have a double jump:

Nair for general purpose
Fair/Dair for hard read.

Drift away/air dodge for movement.

If they jump up towards us, most of the time we can just fast fall air dodge but if they like to return or stay on the ground, spacing your aerials the best you can/mixup movement.

Jan 2012 i think

 

[Heartstring]

Jan 2012 i think

hmm, im considering going myself. that will be fun

also, for those of you that wish to see the reason why the boxers in fighting games are normally english, please go here: http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/71225/1/watch-wladimir-klitschko-vs-david-haye-.html
david haye livestream, he gonna wreck

 

[theeboredone]

Well, got 9/whatever. Lost to Infinity and UTDZac. First time I played his G&W in tourny, and he's sick.

I blame wifi for some mistimed up-smashes when he airdodged into them.

Slaps lost his first match...so not sure if he got last or second to last...he hasn't played in a long time. Sucks, cause he was getting really good.

Brett got third with UTD Zac in doubles.

Don't know about him in singles.

 

[Reizilla]

Was that the MK banned one or the regular one?

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

dumb internet is dumb, making double posts

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Welp, I got 9th (out of 33, I think). All Ike for once. Lost to Luckay4Lyphe (Pit) and Lain (ICs/MK). Took a game off Lain's MK in pools, but he 2-0d me in bracket. 1st game was BF with ICs, then I went to Brinstar and he switched to MK....did better than I expected (went to last hit), but I still hate that I can't play as well on that stage that Ike probably can.

P.S.: Where the crap do you CP Pit? san, we gotta talk about stages when we next play =/

And I got my first Bthrow CG in tourney off =)

 

[theeboredone]

MK banned. Houston came over, so most likely Gnes or Razer won it.

 

[Ussi]

take pit to CS

 

[Zatchiel]

take pit to CS

Home-field advantage.

 

[Ussi]

part 1 and part 2 are your advantage

 

[-RedX-]

http://www.justin.tv/zorai_x/b/289356538

Me vs Malcolm. Let's all pretend the 1st match didn't happen. 8D

I also got 9th at this but it was a pretty small turnout.

[san.]

For pit, smaller stages where we can get to him quickly are nice.

If you don't mind Pit's platform pressure with uair and other attacks, BF is still decent.

Castle Siege and Brinstar helps against projectiles.

Delfino is always a decent choice, as well as most stages you're comfortable with.

FD, SV, and maybe Frigate I would shy away from.

If you upB facing the stage, don't hold any direction and the mirror shield will have no effect. If he mirror shields you throwing your shield up, then I believe you hold away from the stage to return safely.

Reverse aether obviously eats through it.

Nice job though everyone.

Red-X also took a game off of Malcolm in tourney.

That Mirror Shield is why I lost the first match =/ I'm just to used to holding forward on the way up, back on the way down. Fixed that in the next matches, but I probably could've pulled a 2-0 if I did that right and did a bit more work.

Mah boi Red =) I taught him everything he knows. Okay, not really.

 

[Teh Brettster]

I'm ALWAYS the one person who doesn't get a bye. Always. I win my first match and then get a top player next game. Sooo, today I won a set, lost to Zac, and lost my next set (to suicides, ugh)... but after having won a set, I was placed dead last.
Also, where's Meneil? I met a dude today who knew/knows her.

Anyway, teams was fun. Teamed up with UTDZac and we got third out of 15. There were 24 in singles, I think. Beat two guys whose names I don't remember, beat Ice + Greyfox, lost to Bassem + Sethlon, beat Denti + Infinity, beat DMG + Allied, lost to Gnes + Trela in LF. If entry fee for doubles had been higher, I would have just about made a profit on the day.
