Melbourne Brawl | STIGMA-B for 2010 yes or no?

[Nixernator]

I am for 5 or 3 neutrals and stage striking. No one in melb really abuses any stages so I don't see any reason to add or remove any stages.
Also the only double MK team we see is Earl and Nicks and Nicks goes wario most of the time now. So meh. Don't see MK/Snake and Snake/Snake (do we even have 2 snakes in melb lol).

Edit: Earls MK is slightly gay Splice just FYI, Dair camping may seem better than planking but that is how Dojo timed out against Sethlon(?).

 

[Splice]

LOL Alfa.

There is no reason for us to ban MK seeing as the way Earl plays couldn't really be called Planking and Stalling etc. he doesnt play gay. The ban doesnt apply to Australai whatsoever.

Double Meta Knight isnt actually that amazing as a team, IIRC. I think Snake and MK can be pretty gay though >.>

With D3, i though we had a rule that the infinites cant go past 300%? IMO they should be moved to like 100%.

Plus its random anyway, getting a good character is part of its power, getting a character you have no idea how to use could also happen. I mean if i get ICs, im going to lose to everyone. Random means the person playing will likely have no experience with the character they get, so whilst you may have crappy character but lots of experience, us Random mains will have decent characters but no experience, which is worse.

Alfa:

We will be sticking to these 4 random select stages for efficiency and I personally dislike the whole idea behind stage-striking. It's just easier that way.

The counter-pick list so far is ok. Port Town Aero Dive is so broken dude do you have any idea? Green Greens was only added as long as people don't use that stage to run away and camp.
If viable reasons are provided for banning/reviving a level, feel free to comment.

MK isn't banned in STIGMA-B tourneys because banning a character in general is just silly imo. I haven't banned anything regarding characters/moves/certain c-throws before and I don't see a reason to start with MK.
Same with teams.

Splice + Tanman:

No randoms in low tier. The whole point is to play with the crappy characters and give some of those underachieving smashers a chance. If you don't like low-tier characters then do what Nay does and don't register.

 

[Ledge_g2]

Attilas right in that Snake/MK is bannable but Snake/Snake and MK/MK is fine.

Or just turn up late

I think my favorite quote from those matches has to be when both Attila and Earl had one stock left and Atlas pointed out "the next kill will get it"
win.

Not a bad idea
Friendlies are a much better alternative!

There isnt any MKs in Melb that play Gay man, Earl is patient not stalling in anyway, he just waits for the opponent to make mistakes then punishes.

OP/Schedule updated.

Low Tier will be in the morning again, before Doubles starting promptly at 10am.
Dates for future tournaments are up.
This is less than 2 weeks away already..

 

[Nixernator]

Holy crap if I bust my gut I'll make doubles again, whos free?
Looking for someone who can handle losing... A lot.

 

[Vermy]

Myself and Ugly are used to that in doubles. XD

But we have each other to fail with.
Having Ganondorf and Squirtle on a team is a horrible idea. One needsa to combo and the other needs you to GET THE F*CK OUT THE WAY OR BECOME DUST, PUNY MORTAL.

 

[Jei Jei]

Ahaha I lol'd at that comment.

It's nice that you and Ugz have each other...*sniff*

I have Khoa mwahahahaha. We will surely do well.
I find Ganondorf to be fantastic in doubles. Maybe it's my play style..

 

[Devil.]

If nays coming he's all mine

 

[earla]

i suggest that new promo jesse decided on could be outlined in the main page.

 

[Vermy]

That's what she said.

Oh!

 

[Attila_]

snake and mk should be banned on a team together:

shaya posted this in another thread. 0 to death. who wouldve ever thought?

 

[CAOTIC]

Baaaaawwwwww, Please make it C-Down Jei

Also to anyone that cares, the new digital channel GO! is currently showing Survivor: Gabon staring the smash community's very own Ken.

I'm looking forward to Survivor Samoa: Heroes vs. Villains, which may or may not feature Ken.

 

[Alfa]

About my previous post:
D3: Haydino may start using D3 this tourny, hence why I posted about D3 chaingrab.
Snake/MK teams: I agree with Attila about the Snake/MK team ban. Nobody wants to be 0 to deathed.

 

[Vermy]

Omnigay (c4 sticky>uthrow kill) works with kirby and snake as well.

 

[C~Dog]

Unless Earl and Attila want to team, or tibs suddenly gets awesome with mk, i dont think we have a problem.

 

[Nixernator]

So who plays MK/Kirby that will team with me? Its not like I play Snake as a second or anything...

 

[Toby.]

lol you don't need to be awesome with MK to omigay.

its pretty much the easiest thing you can possibly do.

 

[tibs7]

ewww sif id sink so low to change to mk, how insulting....lol

 

[Tanman]

Fair enough on the Random. I'll make do with my Captain Falcon, Lucas, Ness and Yoshi.

And why do ports have to make things stupid? lol.

 

[Nixernator]

Ok then who wants to be hated by the whole Melb community with me in doubles next STIGMA?
Only requirement is two hands, Z button, B button and C-Stick up and down.

 

[Attila_]

lol you don't need to be awesome with MK to omigay.

its pretty much the easiest thing you can possibly do.

all you need is a single uthrow and you take a stock. as toby says, nothing could be easier. i could team with bryan and sweep using this tactic lololol

 

[tibs7]

i could team with bryan and sweep using this tactic lololol

mmm i dunno bout that

 

[Shaya]

You will need to actually be -good- to use it effectively. As if you're constantly running to your team mate to get stickied and start dashing around going for up throws, with the Snake having to let it explode... Two predictable and timely things that if overly spammed can get them *****. MikeHAZE and Fiction played against M2K and Ally in the GFs, who attempted to use the omnigay strategies but couldn't pull them off reliably without getting the 'bop'.

But it's not just the omnigay part that's gay.

It's just an extremely effective quirk the two characters have. Whilst Kirby can do it as well, he doesn't FLY, have a good dash speed, nor a great dash grab.

 

[Toby.]

Its just a guessing game.

If they know you're spamming dash grab it gives you heaps of free attacks to punish their attempted evasion or punish. The difference from a normal guessing game is that if you land the grab you wiiiiiin.

With snake loitering around its quite difficult to punish metaknight in any meaningful fashion. The fact that tornado will always stick the c4 onto your opponent only increases the lols.

Btw its boop. Pronounced like loop, but with a 'b'. I appreciate the reference though.

All this talk of omnigay makes me want to take liam up on his offer of MK/Snake in doubles. I must be strong and resist. It would be very funny though, before we both get banished from the smash scene

 

[S.D]

I might teach Turtle to do this so we can win again.

 

[Toby.]

i'm so tired that i told you to pronounce boop incorrectly.

gawd.

the 'oo' is pronounced the same way as the oo in look.

and yes sam, you'd win. its pretty good.

Nix you forgot the control stick, and I might go with you just to prove how gay Snake/MK is, I'm competent with MK (after all, it's MK, it isn't too hard to be competent with him).

 

[I LAG]

LOL at people under estimating how hard this is to pull off. you might only get to pull this off like once or twice in a game and you will be punished when you fail to pull it off.
BTW WS IV > STIGMA B VII

 

[Dekar289]

hahaha nsw

 

[Timic83]

we should make it so all mk's are forced to have a 50% damage handicap

 

[Dekar289]

per stock

 

[Siyro]

Cut post because I wanted to take down the information I previouly posted.

NSW, we are better than you. And Yoshi has a message.

I can beat "competent" MK's. It takes a good MK to beat me... Not meaning to sound arrogant but just thought i'd say. It's Because I've had the experience to fight him regularly enough.

 

[Toby.]

NSW, we are better than you. And Yoshi has a message.

Its strange how you guys are posting anti nsw stuff when none of us have come in saying anything about nsw being better.

ILAG posted a claim that our upcoming tournament will be better than the one you have at the same time. Given that we have all our best players there and 3 of YOUR best players there, I think he's making a pretty obvious point. WE also have about 5 or 6 completely new players coming to this tournament, so its going to be particularly interesting.

In conclusion, state bashing is boring. Don't be boring.

On the plus side the gif was made of amazing and win. I loved it.

 

[Dekar289]

nope, stigma-b will be still be better because forte and dekar are going gg
