Iowa-Joker's Monthly"WHY SO SERIOUS?"#28 Nov 22th

[gantrain05]

My Doc is kinda garbage as I dont know what to do half the time, at least when Im fighting against JBM and Smeesh. Ill help as much as I can at Joker's though.

yeah, my biggest problem is figurin out how to get inside of chars like marth, i just seem to have alot of trouble gettin inside his sword, im not too bad at docs gimping game, but the only problem is that docs recovery is so **** i end up gettin gimped just as bad half the time =/

 

[Nyaaa]

Against Marth, spot dodge your ass off because if they are aggressive instead of campy, their spacing is going to be god awful meaning you'll get a free grab. Dont try to have an air battle against Marths because you'll lose 100% of the time. I tend to do this 100% of the time because Im bad at taking my own advice. As for recovery, if you get blasted Yonderweiss, then PTP first. The key to Doc's recovery is to not use your jump immediately, if you do youre as good as fucked. You wanna use your jump when youre closer to the stage so you get as much horizontal push as possible. But yeah, I dont play Doc much anymore, half the stuff I say is nonsense but take it to heart if you choose to :D

Forgot to mention Doc's weird UpB sweetspotting shit but I cant really explain it so Ill have to show you or you can go look it up. Its good to know.

 

[gantrain05]

yeah i'll probably just end up playing ganondorf anyway, theres hardly anything technical about him, if you can L-cancel and space well your gonna get KO's lol.

 

[Kudou-kun]

Alright, no school for me tomorrow but I should proly still sleep so peacez

wft mang thats weak, i dont want to go to school. y dont u have school blank?

 

[Kiwikomix]

docs recovery is so ****

For realsies

If it's bothering you too much you could always use Mario, but then you lose your all-around coolness points

Speaking of coolness points... everyone should pick up Game and Watch

 

[~GregDang!~]

I think Mario's recovery is trash. Sometimes you think made it back, but you don't and die.

 

[Kudou-kun]

of course his recovery is trash. once he's way out off the stage, might as well say he's done games

 

[JBM falcon08]

Mario is Better than Doc.

 

[~GregDang!~]

Happy New Year! Year of the Ox/Water Buffalo/Cow.

 

[Kiwikomix]

Mario's recovery isn't as terrible as Doc's.

He doesn't fall as fast and the cape actually halts his descent momentarily instead of just slowing it down.

But yeah it's still pretty bad.

 

[Kudou-kun]

Is it cool if I come along?

 

[§chizm]

I might swing by as well. If I do I'm probably bringing Dokapon Kingdom with me.

Also Jury Duty is dumb.

 

[Nyaaa]

Its easier to do combos with Mario than Doc . . .

 

[JBM falcon08]

^ I concur.

 

[FrozenFire13]

^ I concur.

Agreed.

[Kiwikomix]

[Nyaaa]

Im picking up Pichu now btw.

 

[Jakebudden]

Joker, turns out I couldn't make it today. I had to come right home. The mailman said we need to clear the area in front of our mailbox or they aren't going to give us our mail anymore so I had to come home to do it. I hopefully will make it someday this week.

 

[Kiwikomix]

Good $hit son!!!

Definitely feeling a low tier tournament sometime

 

[~GregDang!~]

I just wanna know who's all going to SMYM. If no one is going then consider no Iowans at this SMYM.

 

[JBM falcon08]

if one of you wants to go then you can ride with us, but let us know now what the situation is because your spot might be taken up.

 

[§chizm]

I want to go but I know my car most likely won't be able to make the trip, and I don't think anyone else in Des Moines is going to drive.

 

[Kudou-kun]

yeah im pretty sure that ur the only person from Des Moines that willing to drive

 

[animeblitzballa33]

So the smash bus is that is going to Genesis is taking I-80 the whole way. The total cost for a roundtrip is $340 to include lodging, and they are still working on more sponserships to help with cost more. Me and Zash are pretty sold on this idea. Just wondering what you all think. Cause this would eliminate anyone driving and getting cars lined up.

 

[Uli]

is there a thread for this smash busness?

 

[animeblitzballa33]

its on the genesis thread (dont know how to send a link) but its in the tourny lists somewhere, they have been discussing details the last like 5 pages, but the head of this bus idea is working on getting a web site up for it soon.

 

[Uli]

sounds good, tell us when its up!!

 

[animeblitzballa33]

Will do, me and Zash have been monitoring this like it is our jobs now lol.

 

[FrozenFire13]

^Fact.
