Bust-a-Move was just delightful. I miss those little dinosaurs.

 

[John2k4]

I just recently got Bust a Move Space/Galaxy and Bust a Move DS (Hippatte! PB) tracked down. Sooooo much fun.

 

[~automatic]

Bust-a-Move was kinda cool.

 

[John2k4]

There's PB for Android, too..

Spoiler

 

[Vinylic.]

Still, there's two bust a move games on iOS.

One on my iPad, tho.

 

[John2k4]

Well that wasn't an "official" app, so to speak, since it's not from Taito.

Plus the art for Bub (for the icon) has too many spikes, incorrect feet, mis-colored cheeks, and eyes that are too large.

 

[t!MmY]

t1mmy...

Just saw your sig...

GODLIKE! :D

Just wondering, is the Kirby logo font online somewhere or did you have to make it? I'd love to use the Kirby font for my name on a shirt! o,o

I had to make the font myself. I just started with a base font and used a pink overlay, a red stroke, and a blue outer shadow. Voila!

Bubble Bobble has some of the catchiest music of the NES era. -^_^-

 

[John2k4]

I'd know any of the music from it anywhere. :3

The "remixed" version of the music from the WiiWare game (Bubble Bobble Plus!) was very nice, too.

My god, John. It's almost as if you subscribed on this thread!

And I love that theme.

 

[t!MmY]

I actually really liked Bubble Bobble Plus for the Wii. The retro mode was awesome, and the 4-player mode was a lot of fun too! :D

(and like you said, the music was great)

 

[John2k4]

Get "Hippatte! Puzzle Bobble DS", be happy with nostalgic music.

What's the base font you used for it? I wanna try making my name in the Kirby font! o,o

 

[Labernash]

I used to play Bubble Bobble with my bros when I was like 6. I recently came across it on a... ahem... "Play old games online" site. I've been playing it for like a month. Still bad at it though. Teach me your ways, oh, great John2k4!

I didn't know the Wiiware had 4 player! Man, I'd have 4-player Bubble Bobble at Smashfests and stuff! Yumyum!!

 

[Vinylic.]

When you said yum yum, oh my god.
You reminded of that new cereal that looks so good. I think it was called krave?

Also, I just applied for the BBR!

Edit--

And Old Man Grey is bringing back the SWF mentoring program, so I guess I'll be the mentor as well. -^_^-

 

[John2k4]

Uhh alright, a few things:

Hold down jump button to bounce on top of bubbles.

Enemies that break out of their bubble will be angered, and move a lot faster.

The powerups: Shoe makes you run faster, and candies increase your bubble shooting distance, and bubble shooting rate.

The white ghost (Skullata) who appears when you are out of time for a level will travel in straight lines, and "turn" at 90 degree angles. You can stall for a lot more time by remembering this.

Complete the first 20 levels to be rewarded with a secret area full of diamonds and secret text. After that, every 10 levels you go without losing a life will get you another bonus stage. (20, 30, 40, 50...etc)

That secret lettering actually translates to standard ABC letters - see if you can crack the code

Looking at it now, it was called this:
'aaaiight!'

I enclose these magical medicine here. Because those are my worst fears...

Not the best of grammar... XD

Normally I'm pretty bad at decoding things, but I noticed there were 26 letters in the top row (a sort of rosetta stone). That row of symbols seemed to be missing the top portion for the entire row however, which made translating it slightly more guesswork.

 

[John2k4]

If you cannot figure it out and must have a key, check out the sprite sheet for the fonts from that game.

yo kirby mains, what are some good indoor workouts? keep in mind that i have no equipment whatsoever

 

[Wumbo105]

People underestimate push-ups, especially for people who don't usually do anything at all.

I would say push-ups, different variations of crunches (varying focus areas), and tricep dips. Those are the simplest yet they're not that bad at all. You WILL see results with doing these. I know my skinny *** did.
If u wanna go a little farther, find a bag and fill it with stuff, and do bicep curls. Or, stick a sturdy bar on your door frame and do pull-ups.

There's quite a few things u can do without equipment.

 

[Kawaii Poyo]

Don't work out. It's painful. D:

Btw t1mmy, I got the font downloaded! How do I color it though? Is there a program that does it or do I gotta do it manually?

 

[John2k4]

If it's just a font file that you can install to your computer, then most image editing programs should let you use it. (GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.NET, etc)

P90X.

=On a different subject=

I think pivot grab may be my new best friend.

Duran and fgrab with pivot grabbing.

I haven't tried it in players yet, but I can seriously mind game them if this works.

[Labernash]

Awwww YEAH!! How ya like me now!?

What is Duran?
But yes, pivot grabbing is teh secks. It's my preferred way of punishing people who land with airdodges.
Another cool mindgame is at a percentage where u-air would no longer work after a f-throw, do a f-throw anyway, immediately run straight ahead, pass them, and pivot grab. They NEVER expect it. Works surprisingly often.

 

[Vinylic.]

Lmfao, stupid auto-correct. It was supposed to say dthrow and fthrow.

 

[Kawaii Poyo]

I think I'm the only Kirby who doesn't pivot grab... Well more specifically, can't. XD

Well, I actually can, but I waste too much time preparing my fingers. It's like glide tossing. I actually have a pocket R.O.B. and before I glide toss, I stand still for a second or half a second to position my fingers to glide toss (I also only know how to glide toss forward, I've made it muscle memory. I can't glide toss backwards.). Granted it's okay with R.O.B. cause he's a campy character, so (I think anyway) I'm not telegraphing my glide toss.

As with pivot grabbing, it's the same thing. And I try not to play my Kirby slow, and pivot grabbing isn't natural for me (I have to think too much about it) and it slows me down, so I don't do it.

The only characters I can consistently pivot grab with are Yoshi and Olimar because whenever I play them, I've made it muscle memory to just spam pivot grab with them, LOL.

I am interested in learning pivot grabbing though, so if anyone can tell me an EASY way to make it natural, I wanna start putting it in my game. XD

 

[~automatic]

Opposite direction of movement+grab
And that's how you do it

Another cool mindgame is at a percentage where u-air would no longer work after a f-throw, do a f-throw anyway, immediately run straight ahead, pass them, and pivot grab. They NEVER expect it. Works surprisingly often.

I love doing that too, lolz.

You can also stand still and wait for the shield, dodge or a really stupid reaction which is actually kinda genius because it's unexpected too.

 

[Kappy]

Poyo, if you can Pivot Grab with Olimar and Yoshi, you can pivot grab with the entire cast. LOL. You just have to let go of the "I can pivot grab using muscle memory with x characters" mindset, and make make it every character.

 

[t!MmY]

yo kirby mains, what are some good indoor workouts?

Push-ups and sit-ups. You can vary the type of push-ups by adjusting the width of your hands or the position. In my karate dojo we would do shutou (knife), kani (crab), yubisake (fingertips), etc... but never flat-hand because that was 'too easy'. XD You can vary the sit-ups you do by doing normal sit-ups, alternating to each knee for obliques, doing crunches, or by holding your legs extended all the way out and then pulling them in as you come up with the sit-up. Oh, and you can do timed leg raises (which are like the opposite of sit-ups).

Stretching is an important part of any work-out, so don't neglect it when working out at home. A few minutes of warm-ups before working out is important to avoid strains, too. Warming up is easy, just skip rope (or jog in place if you don't have a jumprope) and move your joints a bit: slow head rotation, arm circles, etc.

I love isometric exercise. :D

Don't work out. It's painful. D:

Btw t1mmy, I got the font downloaded! How do I color it though? Is there a program that does it or do I gotta do it manually?

Working out shouldn't be painful if you're doing it right. XD

After you have the font, you need an image editing program. I suggest GIMP unless you want to shell out hundreds of dollars for Photoshop to Adobe.

Duran and fgrab

I was like before you explained what it actually was suppose to be. XD

 

[Labernash]

I've always struggled fighting Falco, with any character I played. I'm a Wario main, and that MU is supposed to not be terrible. It is for me.

IT WAS SOOOO EASY FOR MY KIRBY!!! THANK YOUUUU!!

 

[Luco]

Hey guys! My vids are up! Remember that I have those rolling habits again, i'm working on them but apart from that feel free to watch them. i'm a bit too lazy to put up all the links to the vids again so i'll just link you to a post i made on the ness boards that has the videos. Have fun watching! ^_^

Ness post with links to videos

Yeah i'm still a noob haha but i'll keep trying! :-D

 

[Kmatt]

Someone on another website I frequent just linked a Melee tourney. I'm surprised how few people knew that there was a scene at all. Regardless, people responded pretty positively.

 

[Kawaii Poyo]

So I finished high school last week and it looks like I can go to SKTAR, my dad said he'd take me as my graduation gift! :D

Any Kirbys going? I wanna play you guys! :D

 

[Vinylic.]

I just graduated yesterday, but I can't make it to sktar, lol.

But I am going to another this saturday, and I do hope kewkky will come too.

 

[t!MmY]

Nidhogg.
That is all.

So I finished high school last week and it looks like I can go to SKTAR, my dad said he'd take me [there] as my graduation gift! :D

Your life. Is. So. Cool!

 

[Kewkky]

Hey Kmatt, how's Xenoblade going for you? *curious as to what other stories he has to tell*

 

[Vinylic.]

Alright, there will definitely be a stream for the tourney I'm going to.
