Just finished my application for Walmart online. I hope I'm able to get a full time position there for at least a month. I need the money before I move in June. I'm trying to teach myself some good money management skills, it's kind of working so far.

Awesome to hear MTKO :D

Just remember, just because you have money doesn't mean you need to spend it.
Lol thanks. That's what I've been telling myself each time I go out and it's been working completely fine so far :D The only money I'm going to spend this month is to get to Troy and attend the tournament there on Saturday. Now I just have to make sure I keep up the same habits when I move as well.

Ya it is really hard to save when you have the money there to buy whatever lol.
The only things I am saving for right now are to get my car fixed and to go to Genesis2 :D

Hopefully if I have a car and a job when I move to SoCal I can make it to Genesis. If I don't have a car maybe my girlfriend can drive me up, but she hates watching me play games.

Riverside. My girlfriend lives there and goes to school there, so I've been going out there for a couple weeks at a time to visit. I really don't like living where I'm at right now (Upstate NY) and I think it'll be better if I move out there.

what are people's opinions on phantom hits that could have ended matches but ended up having the other player win?

Phantom hits are silly.

It just shouldn't happen like ever imo. In tournament settings I think it affects player's moral that it happened which is really unfortunate.

Sometimes man, I double post.

But I'm a mod so I'm okay with this =3

Lol phantom hits are so dumb! I've won and lost matches because of them.

But alas, poor Darc. Phantom rest to lose the match...

My friend and I were playing in tournament. Last game, last match, last stock.

He phantom spikes as Falco and falls to his death. I threw the match.

Similar situation, but in friendlies. Last stock, Usmash with marth by accident instead of Utilt. Falcon, at 160%, gets phantom tippered. Match ended shortly after with a knee.

I think one of the worst phantom hits was darkrain against either PC or Forward's falco where he did the bair off stage and it phantom hit and then never ended up taking that stock the rest of the match. I think it was like a 2 or 3 stock comeback.


edit: and i might buy that screw you shirt

I feel very drained and tired. Psychology exam tomorrow at 7:00 pm and I'm on the third chapter out of six. I don't even care though.

Can't even get excited for this weekend right now.

Why do I suck so much at life?

Hi again!

As requested some months ago I have now made this "screw you" t-shirt:

http://www.redbubble.com/people/saska/t-shirts/7009930-screw-you

Whaddaya like?
That screw you shirt is freakin awesome!

No mercy in battle!!
This is true. Dekar (very awesome Diddy player from NM) won a teams match is AZ because the MK suicided. MK was at 0% and he was at >160%. He forfeited the match and with that the set (last match). His teammate (awho is his gf) was kinda upset from what i recall. But Dekar is very honorable and kind. So it didn't surprise me much lol.

Its pretty clever a lot of those Tshirt designs you can find. The better ones are always the ones only smashers would get.

@DRPP: At least you do damage.

Meh.. whatever, if people want to forfeit, I guess they can.. but I wouldn't. SDs happen a lot, so ya.. And how the hell does either a Jiggs or MK player SD is beyond me.. lol. You got freaking 6 jumps with a tornado, side B, Up B.. goddamn.. lol.

Rule #1 of smash is: Don't SD!!!! That's the first thing I learned when I started playing this game lol.

In friendlies I take off one of m stocks if the person I'm playing makes a really stupid mistake with button inputs like accidentally airdodging off the stage instead of wavedashing or doing side b off the stage when they were trying to laser approach. I don't like taking a win all the time if someone just made a really funny mistake or something.

yeah i never really make those gentlemanly gestures even if it seems sportsmanlike

if it's friendly, i wanna stay on the tv

if it's tournament, i'll take the win

if it's friendlies at home with a friend, i wanna talk trash
