Kansas City/Lawrence Discussion Topic

After a little research:

Darkrain: you're in pool B6 in SSF4, and your first match is a Zangief player. (A 7-3 matchup for Akuma)
If you practice a bit, you should have it in the bag although playing against Zangief has a huge learning curve. The player is not very good though so do your homework on the matchups. DON'T USE STAND HEAVY KICK ON ZANGIEF. IT'S VERY PUNISHABLE BY SPD

dmac: you're in pool D15 in SSF4. Your side of the bracket is pretty killer. If you win your first match, (A very "meh" Sagat player) you then have to play Xiaohai who is one of the best Cammy players. If you somehow pull that out, you're gonna have to play MCZ Chris who is really good with Ken

Also Ken and M2K in the same pool... STAGED!?

 

[Strong Badam]

Yeah I reported it with the Send Feedback button, Raith. I think it'll get fixed.

 

[darkrain]

Rfizzle don't worry about lanceinthepants.

Just do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1s9bUOft7U

I can give dorkrain some 'gief practice whenever we get together again.

I think my best case scenario is that I'm sent into loser's by PewPewU and then something bad happens.
Exciting.

It looks like you were using Falco as a stepladder downwards.

Jace and SB, the only notable in your pool is Hyprid. He's a very solid californian marth player who is particularly good vs sheik. He has a strong dashdance game primarily. Anyways Jace I'm rooting for you to get 1st in your pool, very certain you can do it.

Darkrain, your pool in melee looks top heavy. Little England and OkamiBW are the notables. Okami is a sheik player from Arizona who's fairly technical and has a nice punish game. LE might beat him out though.

 

[papermarkis]

I registered for EVO but unfortunately I won't be able to go.

 

[Jace08]

^dang that sucks

raith pretend your name is markis and do his pool

thanks for the scouting atma!

 

[rei_vincent]

Haha I wonder if that would work, cuz i'm totally down if it would

 

[darkatma]

I was almost thinking that too MT the marth player from Houston isn't going anymore, and he's asian. Since all asians look alike I could just take his pool and play it

 

[Jace08]

you should let him markis! Assuming you can't get a refund for your pass

Hey everyone, I'm a pretty inexperienced Melee player looking to get better since I'm going to EVO. When's the next time I could play with some other local Smashers?

 

[DYC]

You're gonna have a bad time.

 

[MegaRobMan]

As I mentioned, you can come take nebraska's $ in melee this weekend.

MJG and Fragger are two brawl players who expressed interest in carpooling.

 

[Strong Badam]

i will probably get better EVO practice staying here in KC sorry rob

sup dude! We all get together and play every saturday night at either darkrain's place in overland park or massive's in kc. Some of us play some during the week too. If you need to contact us outside of smashboards, my number is 913-787-3094

 

[FlashingFire]

Darn, I'm busy this Saturday, but I'd appreciate any other opportunities to get some practice against good players before EVO. My goal is to at least win my first match so I can go up against Axe.

 

[Strong Badam]

pri bad idea to be busy the weekend before a tourney if you want practice haha, we usually meet exclusively on saturdays.

 

[FlashingFire]

Yeah, I wish I'd found this thread earlier :/

 

[Jace08]

we can probably find a time during the week to play with you. What city do you live in?

 

[Massive]

I'm very likely not going to be able to make it out this Saturday, and if I do, it will be late.

 

[rei_vincent]

guys i'm so hype for evo!

HOTEL PARTIES!

HOOKERS AND BLOW!

VIDJA GAMES!

[Phatgamer1]

I hope you come back with an STD Raith. Nothing too serious....maybe something mild....like gonorrhea or syphilis!

 

[FlashingFire]

Overland Park, if that helps.

 

[only1Z]

Shoutouts to phatgamer for obliging my last minute request for him to do some grilling out. That boy knows what he is doing behind the grill. Last night was way too fun haha.

 

[Strong Badam]
