[Ghostbone]

I guess I should do shout-outs....

Jaice and Ad3pt: Really close money match , was a lot of fun, good job coming 2nd Jaice.

Splice: Your G&W is great, had a lot of fun playing you in various friendlies, first game of our DK MM was pretty good as well

Scoot: Friendlies at Grim's were fun, your Falco's really good.

Tedeth: Pools matches were really close, and a lot of fun, I can see how Wario has a lot of trouble in the MK match-up.

Corpsecreate: Toon link is so gaaaay (not as gay as MK on Brinstar though lol), I don't mind though. In the first game I looked at the timer and basically freaked out when I saw the timer had like 2 minutes left >.> Second game was really close though I was really surprised when I died.

ZXV: You pretty much destroyed my Diddy in our set >.>, I blame my tech skill failing randomly :/, anyway your MK is amazing.

Attila: Great job on winning Brawl singles, not really an upset at all but you deserved it.

Tibs: From watching your Diddy I can tell I still have a lot to learn about the character, and from the matches I saw you played really well.

Apollo: Bad luck with your placing :/ Not sure how you lost against S.D. though. Should motivate you to get better for the next major

Nova: Whatever slip-ups happened at the tourney it really wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as it was without you, so good job Also don't let people convince you to change the bracket

Grim: Our doubles team went ok I think, we seem to do a lot better when we have the momentum though.

Other SA people: Good to see you all there, good job everyone who made it through pools.

Melee guys: You're all amazing at this game and show me just how bad I am at it lol.


It was good meeting everyone, if I forgot to mention you I'm sorry, I'm sure you were really friendly and stuff

 

[Ant1]

I don't really do shoutouts, I guess i might as well do it once...

Techa: dunno why u sandbagged in brawl singles again, guess $1000 isn't enough for u lol, and stop double-pummeling u noob, real man do assassinations.

Random SA kid who won my GH comp, that didn't even know he won and ended up spending the money on food thinking he just got given free money from his
brother, then regretting he spent it: Curse u.

Shaya: Hai, bye

Tibs: lolimar is the most annoying character in brawl, lol @ ur reaction when i said diddy is like the 2nd most.

Corpse: I fared well against u TL in the first stock's of our matches, but as usual i just turned to **** afterwards, i blame my brother. IIRC u can remember 17 places of pi lol interesting talk about tv's and ****.

Gords: Hope u had a decent stay in adelaide, even though u weren't exactly at my house for that long in total, i was happy to give housing to u. Feel kinda bad for making u walk to my house, shame i don't my p's yet. Really fun brawl minus matches though.

Splice: I now know to never pick Battlefield vs game and watch, lol damn key hitting underneath platforms.

ZXV: If i continued playing brawl for these past 2 years I'm sure i could've given u much better matches. Hell if i continued playing i prolly woulda placed in the top 5 lewl (if i didn't have to place jaice coz i hate lolimar) Grats on ur melee win.

Ted: lol when u said 'why can't u live in sydney and my brother live in adelaide' or something along those lines, as usual ur a funny/cool guy, maybe i should play terraria.

Attila: I expected u to be like 7 foot lol, grats on winning brawl and destroying olimar with icies.

Jamie: cool meeting u again and discussing things lol, infection ftw.

Leish: i knew i shouldn't have got ultimate burger meal, why u disappear i was going to verse u in brawl singles, ur a pretty funny girl tbh, lol @ ur reaction when u interrupted my brawl match, ur like omg sorry 100 times.

Grim: why u no enter my gh comp, confused face.

Ghost: u have ascended past the rest of us s.a. scrubs

Adam: cool meeting u again as well, maybe if i tried in halo i would've won lol. Now back to our forge map.

Nova: major thanks for letting me ride in ur taxi bus and hosting the whole event, it was always my dream to have reloaded as a major aus tourny and u made that dream a reality.

Apollo: why couldn't u win lol, well i think u did quite well considering the fact ur not using a high tier character.

Dekar: lololol where's techa? if ever there was an awkward moment that was it.

Monkeybear: grats on 4th or whatever u came lol, u placed the best for s.a. even though ur not really from s.a. we claim u as our own.

Blackshadow: Lol @ urs and erics "strategy" for my gh comp, didn't work out too well lol.

Scoot: u so mean man not shaking my hand when i said who i was, nah jks u did. Hopefully through the little time u saw me u realised I'm just a chill dude and i put that trolling of a few years ago behind me.


It's not like i really played many ppl outside of tourny matches and brawl minus but that's coz i don't care about smash as u all should know.

>mfw i found out that ant actually has a personality from reading the above post

[Ant1]

I've been called an enigma be4

 

[druckey]

Aces - You know.... BAHAHA. Seriously though, I hope you were alright

Shaya - Nice hat, nice to see you again (however brief) and hope you enjoyed your walk

Scoot - The man of few words lol... Hi Good to get to spend some time with you irl again.... However "unique" the circumstances were lol.

Leish & M - Yo.

Ant1 - Major lolz @ that sleeping random winning. Thanks for the comp too

S.D & Apollo - Thanks for making sure I didn't get out of pools lol.

Nova - Well done on running the most hyped up smash event in Australia ever. Pity about the gayness, but meh. Oh, I ended up going to the casino anyway.... After an hour and a half of constant playing I walk away with the massive loss of $2.50 :S That and I had some drunk homeless dude yelling at me for making him lose all the time in Pontoon, rofl.

Mason and otherdudewho'snameescapesmebecauseIamsotired - One word: Pigominoes.


And everyone else I missed - Hi.


Probably my last smash event I'll be going to. It's been great meeting and losing to you all over the years <3

 

[Jei Jei]

Wow. I dont know about anyone else, but this drama has me SO INTRIGUED!

I have no idea what went down last weekend but from what i've seen/heard so far it seems like it would make a good story. Someone please vent here for everone to see :D

 

[Remastered]

Do not vent here people! Completely unnecessary and can be dealt with off the boards. People who weren't involved don't need to be involved.

 

[Rad]

Damn it AD3PT, you're just making us more curious :/

 

[Splice]

it's really not much of story, no joke its not that interesting.

It's just im pretty sure the people involved would rather not talk about it so whatever, lol.

So don't worry guys, you aren't missing out on much at all.

 

[Leisha]

Do not vent here people! Completely unnecessary and can be dealt with off the boards. People who weren't involved don't need to be involved.

this pretty much.

Just dont worry about it, it was nothing big and it wont be spoken of here unless the people involved want to say it. I for one will not be saying anything.

Also I my memory card and headphones have gone missing. I think i left them at novas house. I also have someone elses memory card by accident.

Sorry I didnt get to talk to many people this tournament, too much crap happened and i was gone most of the noon. hope everyone else enjoyed themselves though.

 

[Remastered]

Shouts (no particular order):
Apollo: I'm pretty sure I say this every time we catch up, but you are an awesome guy, and always enjoy meeting up with you at tournaments, whether for smash or coffee or whatever. It really is a massive shame you can't come live in QLD lol. Thanks so much for your help over the weekend too. Jaice and I probably would have walked in more circles had you not helped us out. Keep that scene alive and keep those MK's working
Nova: Thanks for an awesome tournament. Was really good to travel oos and be up against so many amazing brawl players. You made that happen, and deserve a tremendous amount of respect for putting on the show you did. Cheers again, and next time enter the damn tournament .
Attila: Good work on first, you deserved the title. So consistently good against everyone and really enjoyed watching your matches and learning off you. I have a new found respect for you as a smasher, and was happy I could go toe to toe with you in pools.
Cal: QLD reppin to the tune of an MK players tears lol. In all honesty you did awesome, and I really wish we didn't meet in the bracket because I think you could have gone further had you not. No longer the bad state . Good times and good bloke.
Earl: You have such a good mind for brawl, one of the most impressive strategists to watch play. Your changes in moment are something I don't often see in the game, and you do it so well. Thanks for the matches and for coming up to me and letting me know you were impressed by some of my play too
Splice: Really good to finally meet the face behind the name. The brawl chats we had were really good, and you know so much about how the game works, I definitely learned a lot. You will get Jaice next time, to close for comfort between you two. I will take on your advice and start improving hopefully in time for the next major.
Scoot: Cheers for the comments on my gameplay etc. Always good to hear praise for doing things well. Thoroughly enjoyed chatting and laughing about anything and everything. Good bloke.
Tibs: Really wished I could have played you more than once at this tournament. Felt like I learned so much from just that one match though. Your Diddy is almost seamless to watch. Cudos on third.
Shaya: Pointers on the Marth MU really helped. I don't know why I struggle with Marth, maybe just a mental thing now too. Glad I could take you to a 3rd match atleast .
Tedxv: I'm going to do you 2 together because you're both awesome gentlemen. Thanks for schooling me on how to circle camp for 8 mins Ted . Losing by 10%ish in that first match was so saddening. That CG was ridiculous, but now that I know it exists, it won't happen again (I hope). Cheers for the comments & appraisal for Jaice too zxv. Awesome work in melee lad.
Leish: What a bundle of fun you are . Really enjoyed our chats and I'm pretty sad I didn't get to play you at all! Also pretty jealous of your rob attire, especially seeing as I left my Luigi hat and plushie at home by accident .
Dekar: I know we are rubbish at brawl, so I'm not even going to try and praise you on how good you are. You already know all this. You're pretty scrub at melee though. Heard you lost to zxv...... who does that? You're a champ in all seriousness though, from the QLD cousins trolling everyone.
Domo: Your MK is really good, just try not to fall into to many patterns. You have amazing potential to do really well in brawl. Thanks for the friendlies.
Corpse: Jaice and I said hi to you at the beginning of the tournament, and you pretty much shrugged us off to our disappointment. Glad you came around by the end of the tourney and had a chat. Was really good talking with you and nice work in the brackets.
Jamage & Scrubs: Our bball team had the goods. was great playing in the ball comp with you guys. Sorry for being a shortass.
QLD melee reps: Good **** in melee gents, well played. Pretty annoying to come up against each other in bracket but you all placed well anyway so it's all good. S.D has brawl skills....what?
Ghost: Didn't get to play your MK outside of our mm, but I could see you had the skills from our match. Good work getting 13th at such a big tourney with so many big names.
Grim:Sorry for showing you so brutally why MK ***** Jiggs. Awesome doubles mm. Really sorry about taking that money off you .
W150: You were one of my favourite people at this tourney, and I got a really good chance to sit down with you and play. You learned the way I played with every character I chose so quickly, and made me have to take each match more and more seriously to beat you in our friendlies. Your Falco is very impressive, and I would suggest focusing on him more as you changed your play up so well with him.
Jaice: Well what can I say.... other than 'gentleman'!. Seriously though, I knew you had the goods, and I'm pretty damn proud of what you did at this tournament. People will say all sorts of things in the next few days about not knowing the MU and never having played Olimar, however remember that you also haven't played all of their amazing characters either. You're a champion, and deserve all of the respect this tournament brings you. Sadly though, Vanessa was the only one out of us to win a smash tourney in Adelaide .
Ad3pt: Get better and beat Jaice.

Thanks to anyone I might've missed. I had a blast at this tourney and everyone was awesome so I don't have a bad word to say really. Except to Hotdog, because I remember him saying Jaice would get beasted. Oh well lol.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Nah, bro. I got stupidity johns for the MK/Puff match. I should've shielded all of those shuttle loops, I didn't realise you can't instantly shield out of a dash.

It won't happen again

 

[Splice]

@Ad3pts comment on Jaice:
Olimar MU is so simple - it can be learnt in one or two games even if you don't know it, just need to put your analysis hat on.
Anyone who has Olimar johns for losing is silly

I find it weird to think how, say I beat Jaice (like a good GaW who knows the MU should, still salty ), he probs would have lost to Ted because wolf vs Olimar is one of the dumbest MUs in the game. And then people would have thought he is bad and probably been mean or said "i told you so" or something. And then people would have laughed at Olimar and had no johns.

The truth is though,
Jaice is just really smart (I could even see it reflect in his Yoshis Tetris Attack play too. I must MM him in that some time)
and Tibs is an idiot

 

[Jei Jei]

There was a BBALL COMP???

FFFUUUUUUIUUUUUUU

 

[Remastered]

Yeh Jei, won a fragrance tester and a computer fan that sparkles lol.

@Splice: Couldn't agree more about the Olimar MU.

 

[Jei Jei]

Brb killing wife for not letting me go.

 

[M]

it's really not much of story, no joke its not that interesting.

Dunno bout you, but I'd find it pretty interesting to see 1.5 people getting disqualified when they felt pity for a less experienced team they had been practicing on for over an hour and didn't want to play them first round.

 

[Rad]

Your response only raises more questions...

 

[pressokman]

[TakFR]

ZXV played Street Fighter wat

 

[Corpsecreate]

@Gords and all the "this tv has no lag" ppl.

I described that TV to my bro and he said that it must have been a rear projection TV (which explains why there was no flickering with deflicker off) which look like a CRT and are known to have input lag.

So yeah, now anyone who played on that TV has legit input lag johns

 

[Shaya]

Is that the TV I was like "I CANT PLATFORM CANCEL ON IT FARRRK"?

 

[swordsaint]

the tv had no lag

 

[Corpsecreate]

Is that the TV I was like "I CANT PLATFORM CANCEL ON IT FARRRK"?

I dont think so, it was the TV that brawl was recorded on AKA the tv that the 2 hour doubles GF was played on.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Oh, of course. That's why Ghost and I lost against Jaice and AD3PT.

Glad we got that sorted.

 

[Splice]

no you lost because you killed ghost at low percents and then died straight afterwards at a low percent on lylat, lol

and id rather play vs Olimar on a big laggy tv than a small or blurry tv.
That's when **** gets so taxing and you start to get blind. Can't even see whites until they start doing damage on a blurry tv lol

No-one complained anyway afaik, couldnt be too noticeable.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Dry up Billy, we all make mistakes.

I mess up a couple of times in one of our doubles matches with lots of pressure on me and I never hear the end of it :/

 

[Splice]

it was so bad

 

[Remastered]

There was one tv that was horrible, but I fixed it and it was fine after that. The rest were fine. When I can CG Marth on lagging tvs, you know it isn't an issue and people are just johning about bs.

I heard it was a 5th of a frame out apparently lololol. Nothing like Grim's item match brawl tv at his house. That thing was running on steam.

 

[Splice]

yes, Grims tv is probably the only tv that i saw that weekend that even if u got 3 stocked, it was a totally legit john to say "This tv is absolute garbage"

Because that tv was absolute garbage. other tvs were fine

 

[Corpsecreate]

A 5th of a frame is like 3ms

 

[swordsaint]

in all seriousness
how the **** do you get a 5th of a frame lag?

Does the tv only show half the frame or what? It's just...not possible.

 

[Corpsecreate]

Input lag is caused by the time that it takes the tv to process and display the image that it is being received. So the lag can be any length of time, it doesnt have to be 'some number of frames'.

 

[swordsaint]

but a move can't come out on like half a frame, so by your logic it would come out on the next possible frame, making the lag a bit worse than what it technically should. So the fact nobody but like you reckoned it lag just seems wrong.

 

[Splice]

you dont have notice it to lag for it to exist. You get used to it fast anyway.
From my understanding of input lag, it is possible for something to lag within less time than a number of frames too
ofc i dont have a lot of knowledge here

but
Corpse isnt saying it lagged on the basis he felt it, he's going off information about the type of set up, which is legit. Doesnt mean the lag was noticeable, it's a non-issue

can we talk about something else this is lame

 

[Corpsecreate]

I did feel the lag, im very sensitive to it. It was very minor but it was definetly there. I checked up the display now when I got home and I have confirmed that those type of tvs have input lag so I wasnt just imagining things.

Swordsaint, the game runs at 60 fps regardless of the tv you are using. The TV is only displaying those frames, how long it takes to display those frames is the "input lag". It isnt actually "input lag" since your input is actually being sent near instantly, the lag comes from the time it takes to DISPLAY your input.

So to answer your confusion, the move will still come out on whatever frame it is supposed to, you just wont SEE IT come out until half a frame (if thats the lag) has passed after putting in your input.

 

[M]

There was lag on the tv. Noticable during my pk thunders. Assuming its the one I'm thinking of.
