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.

I see, I will take these things into consideration on my next go and see if that changes anything.

Also, I'm in the MW so maybe we could do a wifi ditto sometime. Maybe I'll learn a few things, haha.

You almost had the spacing right to where it was pointing right at your FC. :cool:
You ruined it :cry:.

Congratz on getting finals done :)

I had a fever and am shaky but I also have cabin fever :dizzy: I hate just sitting still doing nothing :glare:.
I tried playing wifi on AiB but my reflexes are like

...that. I drew some. I don't feel like working on papers or writing but I should. Maybe I'll sort photos more; it's a mindless activity that can qualify as productive.

I've had 3 second lag playing a friend two blocks away but a nearly lagless set against a guy from the east coast. It all just depends.

And Bomber, Heero: Guess what?

I had no finals

Ano didn't you say you're not taking a semester at college at the moment?

:troll:

Rizen, what with your posts often coming in at 1 or 2 a.m. I'm always confused if by tomorrow you mean "today, but after I get some sleep" or "actually tomorrow, like 23 hours away".

Having critical insomnia sucks :(. I often have to do a lot of stuff with 1 hour of sleep or none :urg:
It loosely means if/when I'm up and rested at the same time as other people.

The best thing about those Slam Jammies is that they actually show come capacity in music arrangement (going beyond sequencing, I mean). I'm not much for electronic music but these things really aren't half bad.

I'm game, Rizen. Maybe in an hour or so.

P.S. I'm rusty so I'm just trying to get back into the Brawl mood.
TBH I'm feeling a bit tired and might lay down for a bit. I should rest when I need to and get over the cold rather than push myself like I have been.
I think I can still play later.

Curses! I've been found out! :p Guess watching my brother play Arkham Asylum lately has gone to my head, because I guess I'm not as sneaky as Batman.

So I got an adapter that lets you use Gamecube controllers on the WiiU (it registers as a Classic controller), so I've been trying that out. Trying to determine if there's any lag with the setup; not sure if it's just me because I haven't played in a while or the TV or the adapter itself, but it seems pretty promising. Anyone else heard of/have one of these?

^I've heard of that but it's hard to find GC controllers and they're expensive now. I'm transitioning over to pro controllers for SSB4.

@Heero, sorry about that. I just needed to lay down for a while. I was more tired than I thought.

The thing with Link's camping is he has very little true camping ability. Most of what Link does is flowing from range attacks to Zair and melee attacks and back to support spacing. The best way to 'camp' is really to read the opponent, use a variety of attacks, keep moving and not commit to bad spacing. If you know the ATs it's a matter of using them at the right time/spacing. As a rule of thumb, I go by tip of Link's reach as proper spacing. If Fair hits then it's too close for Zair and so on.
Also make good use of platforms and the ledge to support spacing. Link has a good ledge game to reset bad situations when the opponent's pressuring him.

I want a rematch sometime, btw.

Sounds like you need to learn more mix-ups for your bomb strategy. Here's a few:

-Full hop bomb pull into an arrow cancel. It's a good way to poke aggressive players trying to charge you from the ground. Or full hop bomb pull into your second jump, z drop your bomb and recatch with a fast-falled nair.
-Learn how to do aerials with bomb in hand. You have to quickly drop the bomb with z then recatch it as you are doing any given aerial. I'd say it's a key strategy for countering aggressors. Scizor is great at using this.
-Foward smash with bomb in hand instead of trying to throw it (I think it's called a bombsmash? I can't remember)
-Use jump-cancelled bomb throws sometimes instead of bombsliding. It allows for better precision when throwing bombs, and it has different spacing to throw off opponents.
-And there's a lot more. Check out this thread for more mix ups you can do with bombs: http://smashboards.com/threads/secr...ng-thread-complete-at-list-and-combos.277706/

Also, what language is your signature in? I tried running it through google translate, but it looks like it's in at least three different langauges, ha ha

My Gma might have to go into assisted living pretty soon if she can't function in non-assisted living at the retirement place. The thing is she might not be able to pay for assisted living and that means she'd either move in with my aunt and uncle or my mom. I hope it's not with my mom because she has fibromyalgia and isn't in a great spot to take care of people. It could be very stressful :/

On a high note:
I got some good matches in at AiB. I'm learning MK and a good MK from the EC helped me by playing several games. I got a few good Link games in too

Awwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah. I got a chance to play Scizor's Link.

I think I was able to win a couple of games or so. :p

Haven't played Brawl since Nam after Project M 3.0 came out.

EDIT: does Scizor come around here often? Luckily I was randomly on AiBs chat thingy

Well today's been full of feeling liek ****. Sore throat all day, then when I get over that, I get under the weather. It's stupid how all I really needed was rest, but I take a hot shower before hopping in bed, and for the past hour and a half, I've been unable to sleep and I feel better now. I swear man, water has teh healz.
