[jra64]

What?! I didn't know you guys smashed yesterday... We leave tomorrow and I haven't played a lick of Smash since TGL... Anyone wanna game today?

 

[Young Danny]

OMFG. I thought you guys were smashing today at Adam's

 

[felix45]

lol I'm fine w/ playing today. haha

 

[Young Danny]

Name a time and I will be there.

 

[Cloak and Dagger]

im in we need to go somewhere where we can have 2 setups

 

[Young Danny]

I can bring a TV if someone can provide the space.

 

[felix45]

well how many people are gonna play? I can bring my tv or wii but I'd need a ride.

I can play in like an hour and a half I"m doing laundry right now just started.

 

[Vitamin X]

Not opening up my room, sorry. I think my roommate needs a break from you guys.

Yeah Andrew, I need a few tips (no pun intended) with Marth, particularly regarding when to F-smash. I'll show you how to Up-B out of shield, too; with Marth, it's no more difficult than a wavedash unless you have to turn it around.

Time to kill my pride here; Felix, why is it I can't hit you? Am I...

-too predictable?
-too slow?
-not aggressive enough?

I need help, otherwise the first spacie I run into really is going to 4-stock me. And wouldn't that be hilarious.

P.S. I can read between the lines. When you talk about people sucking and you 2 and 3-stocking them regularly...Oh well. Facts are facts, I guess. Don't worry, I'm not mad. Not at anybody, at least.

 

[felix45]

dont worry adam I've played you much more than others, I know your playstyle. the first thing you have to get around is knowing when you are leaving yourself open. I play very safe, and the only opening I try to give you is that you have to try to hit me while im dash dancing, which I try to make to your disadvantage, because the whole reason you dash dance/wavedash is to bait attacks from your enemy, leaving them open.

now, knowing this, the best way to start playing is learning what attacks for you are safe. for me, I am safe to laser from far away, and its safe to nair/shine or grab up close. I dont ever want to whiff an attack anywhere in that mid range, otherwise I'm open to be attacked. same thing goes for every character in the game. all it takes is one missed arial in that mid range and fox will always close in that gap instantly and grab>uthrow>uair.

you can of course cover up by l cancel>jab if you think I'm gonna grab, its what andrew does sometimes.

thats one of the best things I've learned recently that help me trump people, and every time people complain about uthrow>uair being gay and too easy to do, its only because they make it too easy by whiffing attacks at mid range and letting me grab them.


so to be really simple about it just never miss any attacks...


edit: important for smashfest today read
ok pmatt has his phone off so this kinda sucks right now.
jake, adam, ryan, julias, pmatt, and I all want to play but I cant play at my place because its too smal, adam said no for his place, ryan/julias cant play where they are, and jake's TV lags. all that leaves is pmatt but again his phone is off.

ima go eat dinner everyone and if we have to we can just play smash where we have our tourneys in the carpenter/wells common room thingy.


also pmatt if you see this call ryan he has to talk to you about stuff. then call me after you call him.

 

[Young Danny]

On it now!

 

[felix45]

alright guys we are gonna play where the TGL tourneys are.

if anyone sees this you can show up, call me if you wanna know if we are still there.

im about to head out now so see everyone there.

 

[jra64]

Just got home, I think I might be able to use the car cause my Mom is going to shoot me in the face for no reason at all. I may end up having to cancel if she grabs a knife or something...

EDIT: Matt's phone is off, what was your again, Felix?

 

[BOBA]

Heheh, good ol family fun time.

good smashfest everyone it was good fun. ryan once you started playing well you were winning against me every time, too good.


andrew and jake you better come to NM tomorrow.

 

[jra64]

So who all is confirmed for today?

 

[Vitamin X]

We still haven't decided on a meeting place.

I vote for the Student Union Building. C-wells is also another idea.

 

[felix45]

this weekend was fun minus all the stuff we talked about lolz

we got vidz too! look forward to seeing the teams matches!

 

[Twin_A]

You guys were awesome. Thanks again.

 

[Vitamin X]

Thanks for hosting that tournament and housing us. I'm the black guy who got 2-and-outed. *glares in random direction* The Y. Link/Marth player.

And of course, thanks to Matt for getting us there, and in one piece, no less.

 

[felix45]

ok guys I made a tech announce and updated the first post.


I want to try and get everyone that played last semester together for a smashfest sometime this week. also I just realized that if we wanted for smashfests we can use the study room on my floor to play smash, it has a lot of good couches so it would work just fine. if you want to play call me or message me on AIM.


so what day is good for everyone?



edit: brawl release delayed another month. UGH!

MAYBE late today, if I can get rid of all my homework. That would be after 6, no doubt.

Tomorrow after all my classes are done is a far surer thing. Anytime after 12.

Under no circumstances do I plan to stay past 11, late nights and early mornings don't go together well. I'll see if I can drum up some interest around my dorm, mainly for the tournament so we don't have an 8-person turnout that consists solely of people who attend smashfests.

 

[Sintenal]

good luck with getting a turn out ;x

ill be in dallas this weekend so i will be unable to play some random stupid character

 

[felix45]

thanks, I'll need it O.o


hopefully tech announce will bring out about 16 people, thats a decent sized tourney I'd say.


@adam - I'm up for playing today I suppose.

 

[jra64]

God. Smash hasn't been letting me post forever! Is there a NM results thread?

thar ya go.


people keep asking for vids to be put online. only matches I can think of to put online though are omar vs forward.

 

[Sinz]

Hey, guys thanks for being concerned with me dying. It meant a decent amount to me.

Sorry, I didn't play you at my best.

>_> what? If you guys don't want to put them up at least send them to Chap/myself/Colorado people so we can use it. And wtf Omar vs. Forward? Nobody wants to see finals, Fox vs. Sheik is so generic, I mean, LoVo vs. Forward Link vs. Fox plz?

If I become available, I'll either post, call, or AIM you between 5 and 7. If none of the above happen, assume I'm not available.

oyah those matches we could put up too.

sorry but we only put up vids of others. so people dont learn your playstyle via watching vids you put up, stuff like that. JRA kept the lubbock shuffle a secret for years because he never put vids online for tekken, people may of figured it out way sooner if he put vids of him playing online.


also if you are so keen on vids getting put on the internet just record and capture yourself...


@sinz - man right as we were leaving and I saw you bent over I thought you were some drunk/high guy ready to puke everywhere....you must be dedicated heh.



edit: lol look what i found http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=573900#post573900

 

[jra64]

Umm, before this gets out of hand, I'll probably put everything I end up capturing online, but everyone will have to wait until Saturday, probably.

I lost alot of my excitement for Brawl until I saw Sheik... That ****** has got a goin on in this game! I may start maining her again, even though my Sheik sucks, for now.

 

[felix45]

you actually enjoy playing as shiek?

lol shiek is so easy to use its a joke honestly. I play her when I am doing matchups I dont like....for example vs jigz




also smashfest today. I'll call people and ask if they want to play.
ok so we we are gonna play at adam's starting now. so if you wanna come call me or something.

 

[jra64]

Meh, I don't know how to get to Adam's...

 

[Cloak and Dagger]

I lost every match, however, I did learn to tech death!

 

[felix45]

oshi ryan you wanted to play? hey just call me and I'll tell you! 817-734-3680

it was andrew, jake, adam, and I.


My GnW is a BEAST! ryan this saturday your DK vs my G&W in tourney ok?

also since entry is going to be free I'll be going G&W all tourney! haha though seriously GnW helped my fox, not shielding ever improves your game a lot you'd be suprised! (GnW cant shield...like at all heh)



also tech death = win
you got a few wins jake, I know for a fact your ICs beat my GnW because adam was pisssed at that point haha. dont get mad adam I tried to main GnW once so I know whats up!

 

[Yum_Cha]

Fixed your errors. All I need now is Marth to actually be in the game, not Roy v2.0 and slower.

This was the first vid I ever saw of DaShizWiz, for those of you who don't know who he is. This guy is fun to watch, and one of the best Falcos out there. (not the best, though.)

Oh, and watch the whole thing. He is not God, and he will have some moments where he doesn't impress.

You ever fight a Falco with Sheik? Or ICs? But yeah, against everyone else she has tricks that just piss people off, and you don't even have to really think about it too much, easy as pie sonny. Gimping with Marth, Fox and Sheik are my favorite things to do. If the game has Marth I will still probably main him since he is awesome at almost every match up... We'll see.

 

[felix45]

yes I have fought shiek vs ICs & falco.

just because shiek is in brawl doesn't mean she will be as stupid as she was in melee. kirby & pikachu in N64 were gods, but now they are garbage in comparison to their former selves.

shiek probably got the nerf...big time. at least let us hope she did lolz.
