Ike Boards General/Q&A Thread

[Nysyarc]

You'd probably be better off walking to the mall than trying to find a place to park nearby... regardless of how far the mall is from your house. I really don't understand why so many people put off Christmas shopping for so long.

 

[san.]

Only things I need to buy are new shoes, and that can wait until later. For most everything else I want, I can find cheaper online..

 

[Ussi]

I laugh at how silly people go over a holiday. Procrastination will be the death of some people..

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Procrastination will be the death of some people..

I haven't died yet though >_>

Me and my parents bought the Christmas/birthday present I wanted and it's sitting outside next to the tree. I feel so happy about it. Can't wait to actually use it tomorrow.

 

[Ussi]

give it time... It's killing you slowly but surely (with stress)

 

[Teh Brettster]

Actually, it's raining a ton in north Texas today, and as I went to my apartment and back (50 minutes turned into 2 hours) to get proper clothing for tonight, I saw some pretty nasty wrecks on the highway.
Procrastination very well may be the death of some people.

Hmmm. New shoes. I really need some of those.

Also, I'm going to buy the red-blue 3d glasses at the earliest convenience because I want to play Minecraft in 3d. (The option does exist and I'm getting a better laptop tomorrow.)

 

[jamlosingthegame]

I heard it's supposed to snow here on Christmas. I love snow. <3

EDIT:

Game 2

Didn't really like how that Olimar played himself vs Rydle, but good stuff on Rydle nevertheless.

So I learned something interesting today...based on the origins of Christmas (Catholics taking the idea from Pagans), "Merry Christmas" means Happy death to Christ >_>...

Merry means well...happy, good feeling, etc.

Christ means Jesus

Mass from the catholic encyclopedia means "death sacrifice".

Ho, ho, ho...Merry Christmas =/.

death's so beautiful~
Looks so beautiful to mee~

Death and Afterlife teacher actually said that Christianity is heavily influenced by the Zoroastrians. Their mythological time line was taken by Christians and they just changed a few names here and there and made it their own. It's so cool because the "time line" can be seen in most stories, movies, and games. I find it sorta interesting to see religions influence each other. Funny thing you said there bored, since the Christmas tree is supposed to be a sign of everlasting life. Maybe death = everlasting life? I remember being taught that it leads us into it or something. Oh BTW, the most interesting religion to me is the Ba'hi (sp?).

Death itself is interesting to me. Especially when I play TWEWY and watch Angel Beats!. Even the VN I am currently playing focuses most of its stories around death.

 

[Ussi]

..do you like killing heroines?

 

[theeboredone]

I haven't played TWEWY in a loooong time, so I don't remember much about it. However, Killer7 did get to me in the plot confusion and the messages it tried to send.

 

[Teh Brettster]

...
Note : In the Middle Ages in England, mass meant a religious feast day in honor of a specific person; thus, “Christ's Mass,” or Christmas, is the feast day of Christ; and Michaelmas is the feast day of the angel Michael.

Taken from Dictionary.com. The word "mass" has a lot of meanings. I'm pretty sure this is the one they were actually using.

Speaking of pound theres a few new things people dont know

i got a 10% discount on all airtran flights to help you guys out who want to fly

its my last tournament im hosting and im def going out on top so hopefully anyone whos come to one before will come again++lots of new faces

 

[jamlosingthegame]

..do you like killing heroines?

Actually, only one actually dies. There is a death involved in Suika's routes/chapters, but not necessarily the heorine.

Spoiler

However, the first heroine is a ghost. Yeah. You and a ghost. And in the second chapter, you can die. At least the way I went I died.

Brett, that's what I figured, but when I looked into it, turns out Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, etc. rejected the Catholic term of mass, because at that time, they used it hand in hand with death sacrifice.

Catholics took the Pagan's version of Christmas and made their own. Christmas meaning "death sacrifice of Christ". However, I wouldn't want to say "Merry Christmas", because if you look at the historic definition that was used at the time, the words literally mean "Happy Christ death sacrifice".

 

[Mr. Doom]

For those who celebrate Christmas...

Merry Christmas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-gmdPgJeo8

I read Bored's post out of boredom, and now I'm like...okay.

afk

 

[Rangerike]

@Bored, that's pretty interesting I knew the meaning of the Christ+mass but not the one you described or that they rejected it.

@Doom, I saw that movie today!

What the hell does my first name have to do with Christmas?

Wait. Charlie is your name? Cool. Your name is on the military alphabet.

Hm. Silly theists. Oh well. I love them anyway. The ones that matter, I mean.

Merry Christmas... I suppose.

(I'll go around saying Marry Christmas on Good Friday now.)

Is this our Christmas present? The knowledge that you're much further from Asian than we thought?

 

[theeboredone]

Good grief Azn Charlie!

 

[Teh Brettster]

Good grief Azn Charlie!

I see what you did there.

I can't sleep. I'm not tired. Maybe I'll work on my new beach house in Minecraft a little before I go to sleep.

 

[-RedX-]

Wait. Charlie is your name? Cool. Your name is on the military alphabet.

What's the military alphabet? lol

Majority of Asians have Americanized first names, then an Asian last name. >.>

 

[theeboredone]

More like they are ashamed to go with their real name (unlike us brown ppl) so they go with a American name. That's from my experience anyways.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

What's the military alphabet? lol

Makes sense. In Fallout: NV, you have stations labeled "Bravo" "Charlie" "Alpha" etc.

Edit: O_o...this guy requested to be friends on youtube...pretty neat montage he has. However, what caught my eye was this. How often would this work?

Well when Snake grabs someone that close to the edge they automatically stand up again which can lead to Snake to keep down grabbing, but the lucario (well it looked like he jumped) jumped so he got spiked, so maybe everytime you try to jump after Snake's down grab? But I still think it can happen frequently if you do it fast enough

 

[theeboredone]

From what I understand, characters can slip off the edge if Snake D-throws you there, and he can sometimes re-grab you. However, I know up-tilt kinda has a "vacuum" hitbox and I figure the Lucario got hit at a point where he was on the side of the edge, got sucked in and hit the bottom of the edge and died. I didn't see any jumping.

yeah now that i looked closer i dont think he jumped but slipped off, like you said, and Snake's uptilt got him

oh btw one of the snakes in that video being able to platform cancel so easily. D8 amazing

 

[-RedX-]

Ike(and probably other characters too) can avoid any follow-up Snake tries to do with the D-throw at the edge by fast falling. I might need to test this more but when I did it in actual matches, it worked for me.

That clip also look liked a bad case of DI. lol

 

[jamlosingthegame]

SDI -> tech the stage is too good. How often would a situation arise like this for us to tech the stage?

 

[RiverDB]

Well, what about the usual falco chaingrab - spike - Bair out of our aether?
Also, that tech - B-reversal to get back on the stage was actually found(or atleast first practaclly used) by this mexican snake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFa13a8Q2SQ

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Merry Christmas, all. =D

Red-X, is your full name Charlie Wang? >.>
