From what I saw and experienced, I would say your shiek was better too, although I only saw like 1 match of ur shiek and about 4 of ur marth. And yeah, sometimes, new characters just suit your playstyle much better. Ive pretty much been using jiggs since starting melee properly in november, and in the two days before this ranbat, I was ill so stayed at home practicing fox and its almost caught up to my jiggs lol.

and it was hugo who told me u would go marth against me lol
Mayhap. I love her dickish needles :). Well, I knew you were a jiggs player, so I picked my sheik cause im better against floaty characters with her :). Ur Fox would have killed me probly lol.

loool Don't get too happy cos when you saw my fox that day I asked you if you still wanted to do that MM which requested on smashboards and you were in fear and you said no lol.

But yeah I understand, if someone beats me (friendly or not) they usually get happy cos it is quite an achievement to beat PROFESSOR PRO whether he is sandbagging or not.
Make sure you put that on your CV.
my greatest achievement for my cv:

I beat professor pro in a 2p money match. :D

okay, in the last ranbat, some people requested for some recording devices so ive been doing some research on cheaper ways to record matches.

which lead me to this,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EASYCAP-DC60-...ms=66:2|65:1|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

NOTE: that the EASYCAP has to be the DC60+ version
because the DC60 (which is cheaper) does not support PAL 60.

On ebay the cheapest ones cost around 14 -15 pounds which saves quite alot compared to buying Dazzles or DVD recorders.

I think we should be able to record quite a few setups providing we have enough Laptops.
To record, just plug the usb part into the laptop/ desktop and connect av cables from console or you can use splitters and stuff.
you can use Movie Maker in Windows (instead of the program given)


The only concern i have is the memory size it'l take up when its being recorded.
- i read somewhere that DVD quality in AVI format could take up to 1GB for a minute of recording, but im sure we can find a way to change the recording resolution or something to make the sizes smaller.

We could probably all chip in some money or something to get some of these.
This is just an idea because smashers wanted some games recorded.
and im not 100% certain that it would work but it looks promising though.
So is anyone interested?

Thanks for reading anyway.

I bought a capture card for £20 on Ebay a while ago and it was ****. Be careful with cheaper alternatives or you could end up with something thats useless. Thats why I'm buying a Dazzle now, its expensive but at least I know its a safe bet.

I don't remember what make it was, but it wouldn't record smash properly. The video was really laggy and choppy... completely unwatchable. The sound was out of sync and while recording it took up a rediculess amount of system resources on my PC causing it to freeze up.

turnout was 40+ :dizzy:. Thats a London ranbat and the turnout was bigger than phantom hits :dizzy: way bigger (flaking northerners).

Anyway congrats to Kman for getting 4th was it? And nice job beating Pro in a fox ditto. You prob ought to go easy on him next time

Melee results anyone? Couldn't find em anywhere

Right it's been around 5 months since i even considered playing Melee, and that day was the first time i'd played in around 3 months, and Deathgazer was beating me around 75% of the time. When I last played before that, I was winning around 80% of our matches, though even then I was nowhere near as good as I used to be before my mates went off to Uni..

Though i've decided, my exams end 18th June and I'm gonna get back into Smash, just to see how I compare to y'all. I'm pretty excited actually, i know i won't be as good as I once was and it's gonna take a while to learn to how to waveshine again (I use X to jump not Y, much harder), but it'l be a laugh. Though I was wondering, are most of the people attending these tournies like proper great or are there some that are still 'on their way' and getting 3/4-stocked by the top players like P.Pro and fuzzy?

I like this Guy.

if your just getting into melee again I i dont see why you cant adjust to Y , its not hard

for me i played melee + Brawl but in the two games i use the X in melee and the Y in brawl

dont ask why lol



most are brawlers coming over - so yeah pretty much

haha! :laugh:

As 4 capture cards get a dazzle but not the red 1 coz it's shi.t n most dazzle work best on xp although it is possible 2 get them workin fine on vista just takes tonnes of effort

the new dazzle's dont work with any other software >_> im serious
Why so serious?

I heard the new ones didn't work without pinnacle... any ideas what the last model that works with other stuff is? Is pinnacle really that bad? Whats the best alternative to Dazzle?

i believe 90 is the best one to get but you have to use amcap to get it working with pal 60. It's the most easy one to use apparently

80 DO NOT GET EVER

130...possibly but only if you use XP not vista otherwise i think it dosent work with other software

anywhoo...june 27th ok guys? im gonna book the venue

£3 venue fee, £1 pot each game

You need to signup before coming, please don't try do it on the day...and if you do I will be pissed off cause it might **** up pools

Yes im doing pools beforehand, but you cant play unless you give me the £1 for the pots and £3 venue fee on the day. Cause if you think you can enter without paying I'll cross you out and you can leave the venue IDC

ARE YOU GUYS OK WITH £1 POT? And changing the name to London Mini Tournament
