Nice! I'm looking for a job for when I move right now. It's a little difficult because I don't have a college degree or anything, so I'm just looking for movie theaters (I've been doing projection for a year and a half now at a local theater) and grocery stores, hopeing I can get in somewhere. I hope it ends up being a fun place to work.

But Gamecube (mostly) doesn't have online, so now PS3 and GC can pretty much do the same things

except for Melee

Besides credit card companies say they haven't seen any attempts at unauthorized use yet.
Other personal information like name, address, email and **** have been stolen but you can pretty much find that already by looking up in a phone book so who cares (well except for email so get that spamfilter ready).

Last there is PSN accounts, to which passwords have probably been stolen. It would kinda suck to have some a-hole log into your account, but it's hardly "identity theft".

The worst thing about this whole PSN thing is (for me at least) that I can't play SSFIV online now >:-(

Who do you guys think is the easiest character for a beginner to learn so they can start competing? (no I'm not trying to pick up a new characters, I'm just curious as to what you guys think) Or who did you guys first use?


I would recommend Marth, Sheik and Jigglypuff.


I first tried getting good with Roy and then switched to Marth because he's completely better lol.

It comes down to personal preference I think, but for me Marth and Sheik were easier for me to get good with initially.

sheik would probably be the easiest to teach fundamentals with. Most other characters have more complex intricacies. Thats who i suggest to people who don't know how they play or how they want to play.

Oh, really? I still find Marth easier than other characters to get better with. Because what you have to do is pretty self explanatory to me (at least at the level I'm playing at). The hardest thing you have to learn is to space REALLY well and master SHFFL (I think). [Apart from reading your opponent, adapting to different play styles and mind games] the basic strategies you use always seem to be effective for me regardless of the level I am playing/played at. Chain grab/U-throw/U-tilt the fast fallers and Side-B jab -> U-tilt floaty characters. And then you have your spacing and mix-ups of course. Marth is a nice character to play physically and mentally - for me. What you do just gets more polished and your combos are better.

Whereas with Fox and Falco you not only have all of this technical stuff to master i.e. waveshining, pillaring but you have to know exactly what move to follow up with. And making small errors are more costly. Sure tiny errors or finger slips are costly for everyone but doing Phantasm suicide when lasering or shining hurts a lot more than getting punished for U-Smashing instead of U-Tilting.

Yea, its pretty much what I was saying sorta haha, coulda been unclear *shrugs*

Marth is actually pretty easy to play early on. Especially, since you sound like you recently started out. He will get harder to play effectively though and it happens quicker than one might expect is my point.

For now, you probably won't have much difficulty :laugh:

So I don't play melee

Like 3 months ago I brought my N64 to my school and started hustling people ("$3 to play, $200 if you beat me") until they stopped betting, and then I bought a gamecube and started being careful to only ever win by 1 stock.

I'm like $600 in the green. Wut. You guys should try it sometime.

Everyone in my school plays Brawl, so if I would do that I'd prolly challenge people in Brawl.

But I wouldn't really do something like that in the first place so *shrugs*

Hi social, just so I can say this somewhere: yesterday burglars turned my place inside out and they got everything... but they left my cube. :)

That sucks bro. There was probably a super nintendo next to it huh? They saw something golden (the cube) and then saw a true treasure and took it instead. I'm sorry for your loss :(

Really though, that sucks bro :(

Haha thanks. I think they thought the cube is worth crap. Sort of true too.
How much is SNES worth?
