Darn hackers keep making SWF overload.
Anyone want to wifi?

With how crappy people treat me in the LA thread, I sometimes don't mind SWF is down. I really need to stop posting in that thread unless it's tournament related. At least I can post other places, like here, where I am treated with respect, even if I say something that doesn't agree with the group. I could say more to criticize certain people in the LA community, but what's the point? It won't fix things, they will remain the way the are and we will mutually view each other in the same way and the dislike for each other will never go away. :/

That sucks . People can be total jerks I stopped posting in some threads because you can't even mention Link without someone who's never even fought vs him, no exaggeration, saying 'you're stupid, Link can't do anything. -4 MU for Link'. There's no point in arguing with people like this:

Something weird happened. This casual player wanted to play and said something about how white Marth is pregnant and you can't attack or grab him (yes him) and it was a taunt party baby shower. So IDK what that's about but it was like a FFA and I was fighting someone on Temple but the white Marth wasn't attacking. I pushed him off with gale wind by accident and now IDK if the person who wanted to play is mad at me for it. Frankly it just sounds crazy to me. Marth's tag was 'Mom'.

After that I got some really good games in with a Mario main bSM

I'll post some pictures soon too

 

[Bomber7]

Ummm. What? That's wierd. But anyways. Exams this week. Gonna completely destroy them. Get the fuses lit because these exams are gonna get blown sky high (in a good way).

 

[Anonano]

Not gonna lie Rizen, that scenario is like a really weird Smash dream. I had those back when I was more into Smash.

Also, Starbound. I bought and am using Starbound off of an XP and can't get it to run. Looks like the devs had planned for supporting XPs...later down the beta development road. So I bought a game I can't play. Merry Christmas meeee

But the truth is that I'll be opening up that brand new Win 8 laptop on Christmas, which means all my starbound dreams will come true. Truly a merry Christmas to meeeee

 

[Rizen]

It actually happened but it does sound like a weird dream

Anyway I uploaded more photos; which version do you like better?

I'm really close to beating MKs on BF a lot. That final stock gets me.

PS1 is by far the best stage to take MKs. I actually think FD is a bad stage for Link to take MK and a bad stage for Link period.

 

[Naroghin]

Personally I prefer the first one. I know nothing about photographic composition so I wouldn't really be able to say why. It just seems more complete somehow.

 

[Bomber7]

Indeed. Either way, all the pics are very nice. I really beleive your pics bring out a greater appreciation for nature. I'm one of the few lucky people who's been raised to have a foot in the city and a foot in nature, so I can definitely appreciate the scenery you are capturing. I sympathize with those who haven't yet experienced nature yet at its finest like in some of the pics you have. Truly breathtaking.

 

[HarryTheChin]

DAMN, NATURE. YOU PRETTY.

Lesson learned for today: Accept criticism, even from those who have been very unreasonable with you, and for the better of the community, just say sorry and move on.

 

[Rizen]

^???

I can ditto or play wifi sometime if anyone wants.
I came down with a cold; my throat is sore and my nose is stuffy but it's not too bad.

 

[Bomber7]

See LA Thread for details. Despite me being against saying sorry for things I don't feel I am in the wrong for. :/

 

[Heero Yuy]

Bomber, coincidentally something like that happened to me today.

Lets just say that if you disagree with a top Smash player, especially the arguably best Melee player in the world, you're going to get singled out by a crapton of people.

Yeah, it happens. I find it funny (sarcastically of course) that I was accused of not standing up for myself when all those confrontations was me doing so. I was also told that if I actually said something that wasn't ********, people would back me up. I think I know my community well enough to say that the people who I don't consider "cronies" of those people, don't want to get involved. They'd rather just see the arguing parties fight it out and settle it (which I agree with). For some odd reason, I was able to read everything that was said and yeah, it hurt, but some of it was true. I sometimes say dumb stuff, no it doesn't give anyone the right to bash me for it, but it's also gotten to the point where I feel like I can't say anything right now matter what I do. I also feel like no matter what I say to try and argue my point, I will be shot down by the overwhelming support by an illogical crowd, as you have probably been able to see by checking out the thread. Yes, I may be submitting for now, but I've come to realize the need of the rest of the community, not the 3 or 4 people who give me unreasonable crap, matter more to me. For their sake, I'll just stop the conflict and move on to improving myself from this whole thing, so I can have a better ground to stand on. I'll become a better TO where I can hold just as good and popular events as them. I recognize that they hold all the cards and I wasn't able to bluff my way out of this one. By the end of this year, I'll achieve my goal of having amazing local events so even if I am criticized by the same people with the same criticisms, I can present facts and question them as to how and why they still feel the way they do. But let's face facts, most of the crap I gets is just insults, no real opinions supported by fact which is why I'm not going to let this get to me, instead I'm going to rise further above my critics. I am just as much at fault for adding fuel to the fire and promoting an attitude that the newer generation of LA smashers don't want to see. I want to change. I will change. I'l do everything I can to make sure I get what I want.

Hey I'm sorry you bad awful bro... Drink Green Tea add some Lemon and Honey, don't talk a lot to the people around you, don't cough so much either (or it will transfer into an infection), most importantly (stay warm!) Staying warm helps and one last thing, get plenty of rest (meaning to shut your eyes and shut off your thoughts and dreams of Sheep :D).

This advice brought you by, Tums!

What this man said. It's my family's remedy for such a thing. Imo, if you get bored, go watch some youtube or place bets on wifi as to which scrub will turn out on top in FFAs. I used to do that alot, it was quite entertaining. The only thing is, I could never blow my coins fast enough on gambling.

Get better soon, buddy.

Sounds good!

I'm ready!

 

[Rizen]

GGs. Sorry I can't play at all right now, lol. I feel like **** and my reactions are terrible. I'll play when I'm not sick

[Heero Yuy]

Honestly Rizen sometimes you seem to force yourself a lot to play Smash. If you're sick it's a much, much better idea to rest than to Brawl. For now though it's a reasonable John and you have all the right to give your say.

@Bomber It's good you're trying to settle things out with those people whom aren't too fond of you. The Smashers I've met in the past tend to be the most judgmental people or the most passive. I tend to say dumb things and I get called out by even pro Smashers, but being the better person is way better than being the better Smasher. haha

[Rizen]

^I don't know the meaning of the word 'rest'.

Great Link by the way!

Get better bro~

Lol, I was doing terrible. I'm really shaky and have a fever. I can do much better.
Good stuff though you have the ATs down really well.

I still have to read the rest of the thread. I'll get around to it soon.

[Rizen]

Have you ever played Scizor? I noticed you're in CA and he's a Link player there.
If you can't fin d wifi here try smash domain: http://www.smashdomain.net/index.php

 

[Bomber7]

Link buds!?

I totally read that as Link duds. I was wondering if Hyrule stole Milk Duds and just slapped its name brand on it. What is it called when you start seeing things for what they really aren't? Halucinating? Or is it a new form of dislexia?

@Heero- Yeah, I'm just happy there are some people in the LA community who still respect/like me. As for now, I look to my new opportunity to becoming a community manager. There's that new gaming cafe that opened up this past summer and they are looking for ways to build a customer base, especially since most of their people went off to college out of the city/state. Being a TO, I can at least bring in some people via tournaments and they can bring me people via daily business interactions. If all goes well this year, I might just ask for a job there. It's unlikely because it's a super small business so they probably don't have room to hire one more person, but if I could help them out in some way or use them as a reference to get in a nice community management job, I'd be so glad.

Ugh, site when down
@LA thing

So it turns out an annoying cough this morning led to me only working half my shift, going home at noon, then I take a nap at 3, and wake up at 6 with joint pains, weakness, and a 101 degree fever. I've taken everything I'm supposed to take (and more, probably). I'm gonna wake up at 11 tomorrow, and if I'm not fit to drive, I can't make it to BRM, someone else can win for once. If I do make it tho, consider this your best chance of beating me, with the asterisk that I was sick as a dog the day before (and of). I don't even have energy to be salty right now, so I may not even rub it in if I win. I wonder how many of you are crossing your fingers that I won't make it, and how many are crossing fingers that they have a chance to beat me... hmmmmmmmm

tl;dr: No such thing as "enough" setups, I'm so sick I feel like dying, now's your chance to win a tourney and/or beat me in tourney.

And posting this literally made me tired, geezus. Like out of breath tired... GOODNIGHT

^this is exactly what I have
I tend over work myself when I'm sick or tired because I have to do things so much on no sleep (stupid insomnia). I almost went to the store a little while ago, it's also 13 degrees f out. One thing I can't do is smash though; I find any limitations really irritation but that's how it is. I'm not going to play well tonight, lol.


People should be thankful there are TOs getting things done in LA. My region had a lo-o-o-ng dry period with no smash things at all. Now we have a few things but we're pretty dead still. It's hard to organize things, I've never TOed but I organize other things, people should be thankful for what they've got.

 

[Bomber7]

Imo, LA has PLENTY of players, but we just have A LOT of players who just don't show. We are spread out, people dont have the money to travel, are too lazy to travel, you name it. I've only been thanked maybe a couple of times for hosting events, other than that, I don't get shown appreciation for what I do. It's whatever. If I demand gratitude, I'll get bashed. If I demand respect, I'll get based. :/

Edit: I also don't like how we all know and complain that the tournaments in LA haven't been run efficiently or up to par. Speaking for myself, the first issue is people showing up at all/ on time. I don't live in a densly populated smash area like Baton Rouge so my player base sucks. Next since it's a small tournament, some people wait a long time to play their game due to lack of set-ups or people being late for their matches. IT's a bit hypoctitical when every problem that arises in a tourny to make it not up to par, it's an on the player thing. I don't want to be the bad guy, but if people want events to run on time and efficiently, I'll just turn cutthroat. If people ask me why I'm being a **** I'll just ask "Why can't you be on time?".

 

[Rizen]

^People are whiny. That's just how it is . My mom was the director of religious education at a Unitarian/Universalist church in the past. AKA did stuff with the kids. The parents wouldn't volunteer, they'd come and leave huge art messes, etc, etc. Then they'ed blame my mom.

Wow, I can't even type right now. You should see how it looks unedited, lol.

tl;dr people are whiny

I can't sleep and feel like c*** but I took more nyqil.
I got a drawing done for this sci-fi project.

/ugh, sick and tired

AiB is back up btw

[Heero Yuy]

Will be back home next week and will work on my Kirby. I need Link experience though.

 

[Rizen]

The activity in here is nice

I'm still feeling sick but hopefully tomorrow I can play more wifi. I hate leaving after playing bad.

 

[Naroghin]

Speaking of wifi, can the lag I'm experiencing be related to my internet connection? I've tried playing on several occasions, but the game almost always lags to the point of unplayability. Is this just something everyone has to deal with when playing or should it be relatively smooth? I'm seeing up to a second worth of displacement/phasing during the match (sometimes more).

This match shows the lag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7VqTfGu57M so you can get at least that good and a bit better on wifi. Part of it depends on your internet, if other users in your house are doing stuff, etc and part is distance. Usually I stick to playing people who are WC, MW north Mexico and South central Canada because I'm in CO. I start getting bad connections at the west part of EC states.
