I'm sorry about the ice cream. You can come home now.

 

[Ares]

They have them for every year, i dont know if the 2011 version is made yet, but i really want to read it

 

[MegaRobMan]

I'm sorry about the ice cream. You can come home now.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I just spat up my drink from laughing. Random. It's like that scene from Old School when their house gets closed down.

I remember that!

Quote, what time are you hosting this Friday.

(Lux), what time tomorrow?

Raptor, your definently right. My playstyle has been really proactive. I think i`m only good when I play aggressive. I`m not amazing at reads like you, fino, and lux, so I just go all out. My goal is to try to give as much pressure on the opponent as I can. Lately since i`ve been hard at practice, i`m making a good comeback and it`s starting to work.

 

[Mr. Doom]

I take it you'll be coming to my biweekly next weekend on the 26th of this month?

 

[DeLux]

I work 2pm to 1am on Saturday the 26th

No biweekly.

However, still down to do that whobo watchfest. Although if someone else would host, like Danny, I'd go there to watch the KU game at 6

 

[Roller]

Stealth and Lux need to find their way up to MI one day.













That is all.

 

[Ares]

Every IC main should make a combo video of just chain grabs. Nothing fancy, bthrow > dthrow for about 8 min. No breaks. i'd watch it.

It starts at 2:00 and depending on attendance can go as long as 11:00.

As for the proactive thing. If you have the time, I have some articles I think you would gain a lot from reading.

http://sonichurricane.com/?p=2029

Both of them would be insightful reads for you I'd think. It's all game theory so I wouldn't worry about occasional the Street Fighter technical jargon.

If you want to work with this, DO NOT IMPLEMENT IT ALL AT ONCE. It's taken me roughly 8 months to repair my game after switching to an almost entirely reaction-based playstyle all at once, and I think that it still isn't up to par yet. It was so foreign that when I first started, I was getting 3 stocked by computers. Implement it bit by bit.

As far as getting reads go, it's all about observation. It's not an easy thing to explain without a wall of text. Not to mention, I think that everyone goes about it differently judging from from the people I've talked to about it ask around when you get the chance. It's actually kind of interesting. I'd write a number of articles on it if I actually had expertise and credibility to work with.

 

[Rockstar]

@ Quote, i`m down to go to your smashfest. Sadly, my car is still down. If I could fetch a ride from anyone, that`d be appreciated.

 

[DeLux]

I'm probably not gonna host tomorrow since nobody has shown any interest in it.

 

[Rockstar]

Going to this silly tournament tomorrow at the johnson county library. Maybe I can find a few legit players and recruit them. http://www.jocoteenscene.org/templates/JCL_InfoPage.aspx?id=1455&epslanguage=EN

Depending on how I feel tomorrow, I might try to go to one of these things. Don't count me as confirmed though.

Dear god I hope they have GC controllers. They said something about using library equipment only and said "both wii remotes and nunchucks will be available." I could only imagine what could go wrong here.

I hope they aren't seriously worried about some one coming in with some kind of macro modified controllers. Because that just sounds dumb at this level. If the TO, knows anything about that kind of stuff you should try and play him/her at some point.

On the upside, their one picture suggests that they understand the value of 1v1 play,
and that more than 1 setup is necessary.

You should probably ignore anyone using Ike, or Kirby. From watching the Library tournament in Lawrence, Ike's were always F-smash and U-smash happy. The usual Kirby game plan was get in the air and down-B. This was fairly universal.

 

[Rockstar]

It'll be kind of fun.

As far as the controllers, they had a tournament last year with the same exact rules. I brought my own controller, and they didn't even care. So I doubt it'll be a big deal.

Tourney entrance ages are 10-18. They want everyone to bring as many people possible. So come if you can. Everyone that goes gets prizes/treats whether they enter or not, so why not.

 

[quote]

As a side note, if I go to this, I'm definitely going to drop by (Lux)'s place if he still hosts.

How many people showed up last year?

Will I be able to play friendlies there after the tournament?

 

[Rockstar]

Nice.

Last year there was a pretty decent amount. Skill level isn't quite as high as the money competitive 18+ scene.

As far as friendlies, most likely. There not stengy/picky really. Just to have a good time.

 

[DeLux]

i'm probably not gonna host tomorrow since nobody has shown i haven't any interest in it.

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Stealth Raptor]

if i feel like it -ie remember- ill show up tomorrow to take a look around. its the library right by your house right rockstar?

 

[Teh Future]

Every IC main should make a combo video of just chain grabs. Nothing fancy, bthrow > dthrow for about 8 min. No breaks. i'd watch it.

i kind of want to do this now

 

[Rockstar]

@ Raptor, good deal. Yeah johnson county library right up the street from my house. It`s for fun & community recreation.

 

[Mr. Doom]

I'll be there. Too bad I can't take anyone's money.

 

[Dnyce]

I'll be there. Too bad I can't take anyone's money.

I feel the same way. I'm only under ages 10-18 when I'm on teh internets

 

[quote]

So yeah, me and rockstar are up at that tourney. The bracket has 52 people. Oh, and there are spectators too. Seriously, someone get up here. This is not normal.

 

[DeLux]

Since you don't answer your texts, make sure you record so we can make a hype video out of it.

 

[Ares]

I was gonna go up there but i didnt wake up til 5pm..damn spring break

 

[quote]

So yeah, This thing had prize support. 75$ for second place and 100$ for first. We should use this place as a venue. At the very least we should talk them into hosting smaller scale weekly/biweekly stuff geared towards practice. That pool of people was large enough that there had to be some people in there that we missed.

Hosting tomorrow regardless. Starts at 2:00.

7221 Lafayette Ave, Kansas City, KS 66109.

 

[DeLux]

Did they let you play?

 

[quote]

Did they let you play?

Tournament: no.

Friendlies: yes.

 

[Rockstar]

Tournament was pretty fun. Rules were totally different. Single elimination, 4 player free for all, items on, and 5 minute timer. And you could only use a wiimote. (Which i`d never done before)

I made it to the grand finals & lost to an Ike in sudden death. So I got $75 for second. And it was free to enter, so i`m satisfied

 

[DeLux]

You should call them and set something up. Did you guys recruit the person that won? If they beat Rockstar, that would by default make them the Number 3 player in our scene behind Collin and Danny. Unless SquivyT is better, because he also beat Rockstar at Smash Thunder in Paola, KS. We need to matchup SquivyT and this guy that won the library.

So the KC Power rankings shape up as:

1. Fino
2. Stealth
3-4. SquivyT/Library Man in ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
5. Rockstar

If Scrub cared he'd be in there around 3 I think. Ares and I are bad so we're unranked.

Oh I forgot to rank in Quote. Who wins between Quote and Rockstar nowadays?

SquivyT, why did you not go to the library tournament?

Ack. So much to respond to. Actually not really. That first paragraph is all troll and should be responded to with Rockstar: I won money. U mad? or something along those lines.

Well I guess that the first sentence has merit. I can definitely talk to them the next time I'm down there/going to blake's place if someone doesn't beat me to it. I actually really do want to set something up. I still can't get over the 52 entrants thing.

Rockstar beats me usually. At the very least he beat me today each time we played.

As a side note I shouldn't be ranked. I'm not good.

 

[DeLux]

...

How is that trolling?
I am taking statistics and interpreting them in the "X beat Y in tournament, therefore X is better than Y in tournament." I am judging based on results, not some bias on my part. That's like the opposite of trolling.

Obviously if the person won the tournament, they must have some talent. Or at least be able to play to win, so even if they aren't "talented", they'll be moldable to do what it takes to win. So I'll ask again, did you guys recruit him?


Edit: I mean, I could interpret it that "X beat Y because of a character matchup", but it would be a **** move for me to point out given how defensive some people get about characters on the Red Team.

Please don't just "want to set something up". If you really want it, go out and do it. Contact the guy. Contact the library. Do work.

Speaking of going out and doing it, Fino and I will be running our event at the Lawrence Library tomorrow. So I don't think we'll be coming out to play at your place.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

im gonna be real


rockstar has won from that one tourney more then three times my entire career in smash. rockstar for second in KC afk

 

[Rockstar]

@ Lux lol. Thats ridiculous. This guy beat me because 1, It was a free for all. 2, Items were turned on. 3, I had to use a controller that had alien controlls to me. That was the first time i`d played brawl with a wiimote.

No offence, but saying that he ranks up with us is utterly ignorant.

@ Quote maybe you should go to Fino/Lux`s event? Wouldn`t be a bad idea.

@ Raptor, $75 is a little much I agree haha.
