Social Link checked the thread. Wow! This is a nice thread!

[Dumbfire]

I'm working on the Customs with some other folks in the hope of getting a customs side event ran here, but it takes so damn long. I have all of Link's and R.O.B.'s (don't know why the latter, never used him!), and am close with many. I do classic, usually set at 7.5. (The boss at 8.0 occasionally gets me..)

 

[Zane the pure]

9.0 only took me forever because the RNG of items and the enemies' customs almost sent me over the edge of super saiyan 2... trying to do it all with Vanilla Link
The boss was cake IMO, but I used to blast "intense" Tabuu no damage for funsies.

It's the kind of game design that makes me want someone burned at the stake... just make the A.I. do smart things as opposed to stacking the deck against the player... I got grabbed by one opponent in an 8-player match, a non-rage bowser charges F-smashes me doing 56% cuz his custom strength must be through the roof, and then the cars from Port town take the stock. I got ROBBED like that 20ish times before finally beating matster core/fortress on one stock.

A lot like this guy without Thunder Surge spam:

 

[Dumbfire]

Yeah I keep getting customs I already have. That's just ridiculous. I don't really understand what I have to do at the big tunnel boss thing with the eyes, I'll just look up a video and start doing 9 then, I guess; it's probably the fastest.

 

[A_Phoenix_Down]

Just got my very first D-tilt spike on a Kirby today. I take back everything Ive said about anything, that is absolutely the most satisfying kill I've ever had ever.

 

[Rizen]

I got all the customs for ROB too; I think they're easier to get than other characters'. Now that I have beaten classic with all characters I can start trying for classic on 9 with no customs. I got to 8.5 with vanilla Link and 9 with customs. I don't have as much trouble getting to the bosses as beating them on 9. It's hard because there's no way to practice the timing without beating classic at a lower difficulty, restarting at 9 and going through the entire mode again.

Master boss spoilers btw.
The hands have annoying easy ways to take a stock like chain grab combos, master hand's energy cards that carry you off the top, master hand's wind and ice attack has gimped me when I attacked crazy hand. IMO the hands are the most dangerous part of the battle.
The giant man phase isn't too bad. It can add damage though. It's hard to tell where the hurtbox is sometimes.
The beast phase gets much faster on 9 than 8. That got me a few times. I need to play it safer.
The sword phase also gets much faster and has very tight timing. I know the attacks but a single slip up can be hard to recover from.
Finally the fortress is a real pain because the potential to combo you. Get launched and take a ton of damage from being pinballed. The stallfos enemies that block can be a pain to deal with and the flowers that shoot beams are the worst. Dieing at 100% to the wall acid sucks for Link since he can usually tank a lot higher damage.

I'm not sure if it's at all Gamestops, but at mine, you're able to pre-order the GC Adapter for $5 down payment. Apparently they are being released on May 1st.
Once I get my grubby hands on $5, I'm so pre-ordering one. I haven't even gotten Smash U yet.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

You can also find them for 20$ here if you want it right away. Sure, it's the Mayflash version but it works just as well.

 

[A_Phoenix_Down]

Yeah I have mayflash and it works perfectly fine.

Mayflash is good. I've bought a gamecube and N64 to PC adapters from them and no problem so far.

 

[Rizen]

I bought an official adapter for $60
Ugh, I over worked my self and have been sick the last few days

 

[Dumbfire]

I've played on those Mayflash things in tournament, seemed fine yes.

I'm just gonna leave here and back away slowly.

My first reaction was: this acting is bad, this music is banal and sentimental, this dialogue cheesy and commonplace and platitudinous, and there is not a frame which truly feels like the Legend of Zelda. Notice how they created several videos with the same style, only getting views when they awkwardly imposed it on LoZ. It's all theatre, it's all stage tricks, there's no trace of sincere sentiment, or its too diluted and has long been lost. Nor let us ignore how mannered and manufactured the style of conversation is, how fake and unbelievable. No man ever has a conversation at once so tense, philosophical and arousing. It's not life; just some fantastical, imaginary, 'exciting' fiction.* Not to say the writing succeeds in that department. ("The problem with being able to do anything, is not being able to do anything" -- ..) And for all its trying, it has nothing that warms the heart or soothes the soul like walking around in Hyrule does.

Trickery like this is for the feeble. "Great men do not play stage-tricks with doctrines of life and death, only little men do that."
The one and only put down required for folks who make these things: they are little men trying to do great things

I would nail the Shiek though, if that's any consolation. Though she has something very.. mannered? And that round face makes her a little too.. unrefined? Something doesn't entirely work for me. She seems as fake as the scenes she's acting out.

*I have no sympathy for escapism of that sort. "You may be downtrodden and swindled, but in the eyes of God you are superior to your oppressors, and by means of films and magazines you can enjoy a fantasy existence in which you constantly triumph over the people who defeat you in real life. ... So long as you can dream of yourself as a ‘strong, hard-working garage hand’ giving some moneyed crook a sock on the jaw, the real facts can be forgotten." I don't demand realism in everything, but to see nothing but bustle and spectacle in Hollywood when the average man and his immemorial struggle with life -- the reality of it --is forgotten is sad. It's largely their own fault though: when they see another 'superhero' clad in spandex they can forget their extremely married, eminently respectable, wholly undistinguished and truly miserable life. All I can utter when I view them is "I'd rather die than be one of them." Rather a foul gamer than another philistine lost to time. (Here's this exact sentiment conveyed by me in a speech.)

 

[Fox Is Openly Deceptive]

I'm going to need some time to collect my thoughts on what I just saw.
...
Ok so immediate first impressions, it was awkward. But then, now I'm wondering how much of that has simply come from my previous experiences with live action zeldas. It's like I've developed an automated response to cringe when I see it.
...
How is it going to work if the protagonist doesn't say a single word the whole time? There's going to be a lot of awkward monologue.
I want it to work, but I don't think it can be done.
...
I still don't know how I feel about it. I mean, ask yourself, what exactly would you want in a live action zelda? Because I'm not even sure that I want to see one. I mean don't get me wrong, the idea of seeing realistic boss fights or pivotal scenes all done to the same standard as big budget movies is something I would definitely want to see, but there's more to it than just that, and I'm not convinced that the legend of zelda is even suited to this particular form of media.

Those Super Smash Bros Soundtracks were the biggest pain in the butt. I believe I spent about 6 hours in total just getting all the tracks onto my computer with all the info in English. I ripped the CD's last night and began editing the info on the music files so it would all be in English. After finishing the first CD I took a break and when I came back I discovered that Windows Media Players had reverted all of my work back to the original Japanese. Needless to say, I was pretty ticked. I fiddled around with it some more and tried to find some answers on google, but didn't come up with anything. I was actually so upset that I downloaded itunes and was finally gonna commit to switching. After it finished installing and I was trying to get it to work I remembered why I hate itunes so much and promptly re-uninstalled it. At this point it was late and I was tired so I went to bed and figured I'd deal with in the morning.

This morning I dove back into google to look for the answer. I tried a couple little things but they didn't work. I tried opening the files in ID3 taggit so i could redo the tags because that's usually what's solved most of my problem before, but it wouldn't find the files. It was like they didn't exist. Finally I stumbled across the tip that started me down the path to sanity. While skimming through more google search results I spotted one that mentioned how WMA files aren't capable of saving tags whatsoever. I thought to myself "could it really be that simple? could it really just be due to a wrong format?" I checked the format the song were in and sure enough they were WMA. From here I thought it was going to be EZPZ. All I had to do was delete the files I had, set WMP's default rip format to MP3 and re-rip the CD's. I carefully pried the CD's back from the case (could they make it anymore of a tight fit?) and set them to rip while i went to make lunch. After they were finished, I edited the info for the first track and waited to see if WMP was going to revert it. Much to my dismay...it did.

Fortunately, all was not lost. It occurred to me that perhaps ID3 taggit would be able to find these new files and I would be able to proceed with my previous plans. I opened it back up and sure enough there they were. I redid all the tags for the files (which replaced all of the Japanese characters with question marks humorously enough) and once again edited the info for the first track. Finally, I had done it. A wave of relief rushed over me. Of course this meant that I had to go through and update all the tracks...again. After it all done I had to rebuild my music library because apparently all the adding, deleting, changing, and moving file had completely confused WMP.

Digital certainly is nice in a lot of ways, mostly due the that amount of physical space you save. It's times like these that make me really love all of my hard copies of games, movies, ect. though...

 

[Rizen]

^ good stuff. How did you take the tracks from the game?

I edited my post in the metagame discussion:
http://smashboards.com/threads/link...-techniques-here.379659/page-16#post-18764642
I'd like to explore arrow locking and the quick fire arrows custom move more.

I don't think a live action Zelda series would be good.

 

[Elessar]

So the scrubs are starting to come out of the woods again. Looks like it's time to give them a friendly reminder of where they are.

 

[Zelkam]

I didn't, it was the soundtrack that was given out as a club Nintendo reward to anyone that bought both copies of the game.

Sounds rough, I got mine and ripped the files without changing the names. I can put together enough of the titles on my own to figure out which song it is (yay self-taught katakana reading). That and the tracklist inside the case in-case () I get lost on which one is next.

I know we're all Links here, but I'm really feeling the hype on it's way

I wish I could've done that...sometimes I'm just too stubborn for my own good. I wasn't gonna be able to rest until I had it just the way I wanted it.

Two of my favorite rules:
1. Nothing is ever idiot proof because they can always build a bigger, better idiot.
2. Never argue with an idiot, because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Actually, I wouldn't mind a glass of Lon Lon Milk. Or Chateau Milk.

Chateau Milk is too expensive, and makes you hallucinate, thinking you're stronger than you actually are. We're giving you warm spring water because I'll bet it tastes terrible.

 

[ShinnyMetal]

Man I missed a lot of conversation. DAMN YOU MONSTER HUNTER!

....

Anyone by any chance going to the St. Joseph, MO tourney?

 

[DarkDeity15]

Anyone ever wondered what it world be like to watch a sword fight at the speed of sound (as in, the swords are breaking the sound barrier)?

 

[Rinkario]

Probably like any fight in DBZ. Just with swords instead of fists and Ki Blasts.

 

[Fox Is Openly Deceptive]

Don't get me started on how dumb it was that they broke the 'Z Sword'.

 

[Elessar]

Anyone ever wondered what it world be like to watch a sword fight at the speed of sound (as in, the swords are breaking the sound barrier)?

Probably really short and boring since the sword would shatter upon contact.-

 

[Zane the pure]

Yeah, you'd have to find a way to forge the materials in such a way that the speed of sound wouldn't instantly rip the blade out of the hilt...
In as far as fictional application there'd be a lot of afterimages, and the sound of swords clanking would fill the air as sparks cover the ground where such a duel would take place.

 

[The Merc]

Chateau Milk is too expensive, and makes you hallucinate, thinking you're stronger than you actually are. We're giving you warm spring water because I'll bet it tastes terrible.

Aw, no Chateau Milk

. Well, can I at least have some Lon Lon Milk? I know how to get that for free.

This exchange of words gave me quite the giggle.

Nope. The cows have been in space. Who knows what was done to them.

AW MAN.......

I bet it was those stupid "They"..... I hate them so much.

 

[Rizen]

^Yeah, they suck.

To withstand a sonic speed sword fight the weapons would have to be made of one of those fictional metals like adamantium, vibrainium, unbreakablium or those from Metroid Prime like cantbreakwithoutsupermisslesium or gottapowerbombthisium.

I beat all the stupid rival smash challenges. I hate that mode; it's like a mirror match with 5 scrub trolls getting in your way.

 

[Huggles828]

Got my next weekend off so I'm gonna be going to a tourney on the 28th with my brother. We're also gonna enter doubles together. Although for doubles I think we're gonna try Robin/Little Mac or maybe Robin/Shulk, likely no Link for me. I plan on going solid Link again in singles though

You are only half a disappointment. Be content.
