Yeah, but his SD card slot is broken. I don't use a hacked wii anymore, but I thought that was pivotal to doing it. :l
I know some guys that have traveled from ECU or the triangle area to Pier Pressure (in south-eastern NC) which is about two and a half hours and two hours, 45 minutes respectively. I used to just attend stuff around the triangle, though, which was a max of 30-45 minutes away.
Where's Pier Pressure? Wilmy?
Yeah. The address is 1800 Carolina Beach Ave N Carolina Beach, NC 28428, and here is the link to the first one. There have been a few more Per Pressures since then, usually posted on the NC Melee Facebook page.
Oh **** man. Did your house flood or is it raised?
It's raised around 8 feet thankfully. At one point it was 4ft deep in the yard.
I live in South AL but I mostly play in North FL since their scene is both bigger and better. Still play in AL plenty when I can, though.
Maybe one of these days when money isn't an issue. I'll join ya in Pensacola for a tournament
Maybe once I move there you can come chill for a few days and come to one of our tournaments.Maybe one of these days when money isn't an issue. I'll join ya in Pensacola for a tournament
>posting things even slightly negative about Melee
Ey, it's not a perfect game. Especially when there has been a massive dedicated fanbase that's been picking it apart in every facet conceivable for 15 years straight. It's hard not to notice these things.
No such thing as a perfect game. I wasn't being serious, though there are a couple things I flat out disagree with, such as the game being clunky (imo movement feels amazing, I actually find the new games clunkier because of the lack of movement options), only 4 characters being viable (at least the top 12 have a chance at a regional), and I never thought L cancelling was bad, even when I first started.
The lack of movement options can be a problem for some people, but an issue I find with Melee's flow is the lack of fluidity between inputs. It feels very delayed. Now, this could be because I am running Melee on Dolphin and for whatever reason my 3,000 dollar gaming PC is not receiving Melee very well, but I also recall this being an issue I had with the game on the GC long ago, I even had this issue with Project M. On the bright side, this clunkiness does make some defensive options less effective, which I guess is healthier for a fighting game overall. In Brawl and Smash 4, it just feels like you can do basic things quicker.
I've found quite the opposite. Melee seems more responsive than the other games, and the lack of buffered inputs (other than doing things OoS) allows me to more precisely control my character than in other Smash games.
It could be your monitor. Melee feels horrible unless it's on a really good gaming monitor or a CRT.
Falco is REALLY far from Fox 2 since they have pretty different styles of play, and top 8 can win a national (although only top 6 have won regionals recently). I think Sm4sh is less balanced than Melee, but we won't see if that's true until Sm4sh is 15 years old.
L-Cancelling is makes the game more technical and raises the skill ceiling. Having inputs that benefit the player if they execute them properly helps distinguish the higher level play and lower level play, makes the game more difficult and impressive to master, and I've found the ability to halve landing lag extremely useful in every scenario. It makes the combo game more robust because it opens up options that were not possible without L-Cancelling, it allows for new types of shield pressure that were not viable options before (like a last-frame Knee before landing making you -1 on shield if you L-Cancel), and makes the game feels faster overall.
You're outranged and outsped by Fox in Sm4sh, too. With Melee's superior movement options, you can actually level the playing field if you're better than a Fox. Look at Mango's Mario (ScorpionMaster) and you will see that it can beat 99% of players just because of how good Mango is.
This is kind of like reading a review of The Godfather from a person who thinks the Transformers movies were some of the best movies ever made.
That was a joke, I realize they're different but Falco is a clone.
I have to reiterate I'm not talking about movement options or game mechanics itself, but the fluidity in which you're able to preform those actions and transition in to another. Brawl and Smash 4 to me feel more responsive, you are not understanding what I am saying,
I don't hate Melee. As a matter of fact, I really like Melee, it's why I'm picking it up to begin with. But it's not perfect, I do find it to have some pretty questionable design sometimes.
How does light shielding make people to miss l-cancel? I never understood how it is supposed to do that, since the timing of your landing is the same regardless of when you hit the shield and hitlag is same.
If they are timing their fastfall by muscle memory they can miss the fastfall and ruin their timing. Most people read whether they'll hit, hit shield or whiff, and time R/L accordingly. Hardly anyone double taps R to ensure the cancel. Great vs climbers.
Is that actually depth, though, or is it just an increase in the complexity of the gameplay? the way I define depth in a game is the amount of options the game gives you in a given scenario, what you just described seems to be more of a technique to optimize your gameplay rather than a brand new option presented by L cancelling. This is a matter of depth vs complexity, they are not synonymous.
What if tilting the stick was all you need to do to wavedash? Would that remove depth?
I don't think you even understand your own made up definition of depth. Your argument objectively makes no sense.
