Canada [Jul 26, 2014] B.C. Brawl Monthlies - Back in business, now featuring Smash 64! (Burnaby, BC)

[Asa]

nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh niga you cant shun me ;3

 

[T-block]

yeah it was defs you, jake =D

woulda stopped and said hi, but even without stopping i only arrived at the gate ten minutes before my flight took off >_<

MAD LOOKING FORWARD TO CHILLING WHEN I GET BACK THOUGH

AND I GUESS ITD BE GOOD TO SEE DAWSON AGAIN TOO

 

[Alacion]

Kind of a silly story. I'm playing Fire Emblem (the one with Ike in it) and so early on in the game, I got this item called Occult and I had no idea what it did. I tried using it on Ike and it didn't work. Since the item is called Occult, I gave it to this mage who looks like he dabbles in occult stuff and that didn't work either so I forgot about it entirely. Fast forward a ton and I decided to see if Occult did anything, and it actually gave Ike a move called Aether (his Up+B) and it's broken!

Yeah

 

[Asa]

how is it borken?

Understandable. I guess it would be good to see you again too. =D

Yeah

Yeah, Occult is a special kind of skill scroll. You get a bunch of different skill scrolls throughout the game, and teaching them to people will give them that skill as long as they have enough skill capacity (you can check which skills a unit has and how much capacity they have by checking the detailed information for that unit and scrolling over to the page that displays the information about their skills). Most of them give the skill the scroll is named after, like Vantage or Adept, but Occult gives a special "mastery skill" that's specific to each class. They only work on promoted units though. For example, it gave Ike Aether (which is the best mastery skill in the game, as you might've guessed), but given to a Sage, it would give them Flare. This ability halves an enemy's Resistance when activated (this is honestly one of the worst mastery skills in the game). The effects might not be obvious, since most mastery skills only activate a certain % of the time. Protip: the higher the unit's Skill stat is, the more likely they are to activate their Mastery Skill.

I know too much about these games, so if you have any questions, just ask. =]

how is it borken?

It basically takes two of the best mastery skills and combines them into one. It actually has two hits, one which heals Ike for the amount of damage he gives, and a second which halves the enemy's Defense. So he does more than twice as much damage as he normally does, AND heals himself in the process. And once he gets to a high enough level, this will activate roughly 25% of the time.

Thanks for that Jake

Call me crazy but I just registered for a part-time course at Douglas :x

 

[Asa]

blah blah blah aether i'm a yoshi main

Why do you know so much about these games?

Spoiler

/badquestion

On a side note, don't know when I'll be coming up again. As I said earlier, I can only mak Saturday tournaments, and on every second weekend (including Sept 1, 15, 29, etc). Even then, some weekends I probably won't be available. So... it may be a while until I see you guys again. And I've played no smash since, and unless something changes at our "smash" club, doesn't like any smash will be played anytime soon...

No problem, crazy guy~

blah blah blah aether i'm a yoshi main

i wish it healed in brawl

I was pretty salty at that. Also, if you ever wondered why Aether healed in any of the hacks, now you know.

I was also annoyed at how slow Ike is in Brawl. He was one of the fastest units in FE9. >.>

Why do you know so much about these games?

Because I play them.

[Kantrip]

Hooked up the Wii and practiced for the first time in months today.

When is the tourney going to be? If I can make it I'm going.

 

[~Firefly~]

That's what I like to hear. =D Landon's taking me to Stronghold today, so we'll get the date sorted out then.

 

[breez]

Hi kantrip :d

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Hi kantrip :d

 

[Kantrip]

Awesome, sounds good!

Hi Ben and Rob :d

 

[_GrapE_]

I'm all moved and stuff. I now live in Nanaimo.

 

[| Big D |]

We were all thinking it.

 

[_GrapE_]

I might be in Poco within the next couple days. But unlikely.

Even I was thinking it.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Am I the only one who thinks of Nanaimo as the city in mid Vancouver Island? Also, I don't like Nanaimo bars.

Also, Caiden, WHY WEREN'T YOU IN NANAIMO WHEN I LIVED THERE?????

 

[_GrapE_]

Because that was at the beginning of time and not right now.

 

[Alacion]

I think of the Nanaimo Skytrain station. Nanaimo bars are way too sweet...

 

[_GrapE_]

So far it sucks here and I do not want to be here and this is the loneliest I have ever been.

 

[| Big D |]

New Metal Gear Solid looks amazing.

 

[Captain L]

I timed Jake out today

 

[~Firefly~]

No you didn't...

 

[_GrapE_]

I need to know soon about tournament date. I can also likely come next month too.

 

[Alacion]

Eugh... it took three tries but I finally beat the Black Knight! >_>

I didn't realize that removing skills from people actually made you permanently lose the skill... Physic is also the best thing ever and it's actually not difficult to obtain

Too bad school's starting otherwise I'd play the next game too!

 

[Yakal]

I heard aleate doesn't like us anymore cause we drink


fak u gooby

I <3 every brawl player with all my heart, including you. It hurts me that you think less of us because we get ourselves in a mess of trouble.

 

[Asa]

i'm picking up yoshi and bowser they're so cool

 

[Captain L]

yakal conrgamts on 2st

I <3 every melee player, even the ones that think brawl is the 9/11 of video games

The Black Knight battle is the stupidest thing. Even with a maxed out Ike, you depend entirely on luck to be able to win. It took me 4 tries during my Ike solo a few days ago simply because Ike wasn't activating Aether. >.>

Radiant Dawn is a great game BTW, and I'd highly recommend playing it at some point, especially if you enjoyed Path of Radiance. If you remove skills in Radiant Dawn, you get the scrolls back to give to other units too. =P

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Ugh... you guys are making me want to play Fire Emblem >_> (never played it before).

Also, that intro looks really good for the Solid Snake game. However, I hate games (and movies etc) with killing etc, so I will probably never play it lol.

And before someone brings up smash, it's technically called a "KO", but the community has renamed it to be called a kill.

 

[Sion]

jake, have you ever played thracia 776? holy hell that game is hard

 

[Yakal]

also shoutouts to jake, captainL, jason, any other barlw player I forgot my bad bro

 

[Asa]

Yeah... Ike was doing like 9 damage per turn and the Black Knight would heal 6. He kept activating his special ability while Ike decided to screw me over time and time again. Thankfully I maxed out Mist (I love the Valkyrie class) which really helped.

I crippled half of my characters by thinking I could reassign skills... sigh I'll have to find a way to finish Radiant Dawn soon!

Ugh... you guys are making me want to play Fire Emblem >_> (never played it before).

Haha I accidentally got into the series during my vacation. I got my 3DS before the price drop so I got a ton of free games, and one of them was Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. It was really fun but me being me (and also a beginner), I felt the need to restart any level if any character died in a battle which only increased the amount of time I spent playing and the game grew on me

There is probably a post that has the answer to this in the depths of this thread, but when is the next monthly?

Great . On that ranking thingy a few pages back, what does it mean if you have a blue name? I feel like I'm one of the rare people who have a black name.

 

[Kantrip]

Hopefully it's not the 15th now. I can't turn down a Game of Thrones themed party.
