Go look up NCR videos!! (Norcal regionals)

Big *** NorCal tournament that was also a Road to EVO qualifier. Almost all of the big WC names were there (Socal's best, Norcal's best, Axe, SW, and Bladewise) and Hbox also made it out there.
Here's the playlist for top 8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FsDtCQCJRs&list=PLHL9GyibDp1xWE73aHFhDuKgel6S-itel

if you haven't seen it yet, do check it out, some of the sets were absolutely incredible

Sick dude. Checking out the vids now. So I'm currently subscribed to stabbedbyahippie, MeleePacWest, MeleeAtlNorth, and VGBootCamp on YouTube.

Any other suggestions (I'm looking for channels with more constant uploads rather than random uploads for intervals apart)?

I’m looking for a thread about Wombo Combo. The OP was confused a lot about the importance of not being Falco and stuff. It was hilarious.
Neither Google nor Smashboards could find it for me—maybe someone of you still has it bookmarked or knows the subforum and approx. date?

Can you remember any exact phrases from the thread?

 

[ManoxMano]

Kings of Cali 2 also happened. Many top players from NCR were at KoC2, and there were a ton of sick games.
I'm pretty sure VGBootCamp has most of the VODS, check out the thread for it as well

 

[KrIsP!]

^Vindication is happening right now with Mango and M2K http://www.twitch.tv/epicgp2

Also, at KoC2 Ken and Scar did a bo7 set and it was pretty damn awesome.

 

[Xyzz]

Thank you, dear sir. I would've soooo missed that.

Not that playing Umineko would be bad or anything, but I can do that all the time. Melee is so much more fun when live :D

 

[BrandX]

It's been awhile since I've talked in the melee section. I hope all of your tourneys are going well

 

[KrIsP!]

Lol brand x. Hope you're games fundig is coming along

 

[BrandX]

Lol brand x. Hope you're games fundig is coming along

Everything is doing fantastic! We have funded five characters, 7 stages, voice packs, etc. Just need time for Lab Zero to add it all lol. First DLC character is being released in July.

I still hope I can meet you guys at evo, if you haven't forgotten me lol

 

[standardtoaster]

I really hope I get a phone before EVO and that I'll be able to watch at least melee top 8 on it.

>my reaction to winning a doubles match

 

[Bones0]

I actually didn't know about a couple of these.

 

[iffy525]

I actually didn't know about a couple of these.

The three "Did You Know Gaming" videos explained things much better, especially the motion sensor. The only thing that DYKG didn't include was the Ganondorf thing, which was really cool. Also does this guy's voice annoy anyone else? Not the British accent, just the general pacing of his voice lol.

 

[Niko_K]

Just your general judgmental consciousness regarding his voice I found the video quite enjoyable.

So liek guys, EVO competitor passes are running low....this is a serious problem hoping to buy mine Saturday.

This was posted on the german smash forums, and is so ******** I just had to share it:

 

[pokemongeof]

yo guys check out pbnj's stream. He's playing with the best, training for zenith and evo

 

[MaPow]

Does anyone else's pits ****ing pour waterfalls during the end of an intense match?!?!?! Sometimes its quite distracting... and no, deodorant doesn't help whatsoever

 

[standardtoaster]

i know some people bring extra shirts to tourneys for that reason

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I was never one to get a lot of underarm perspiration. I tend to get very wet hands, though, which is much much worse.

do you have any excess perspiration outside of melee-stuff?

 

[The Star King]

I'm the exact opposite lol

I don't get how people sweat out of their hands

 

[MaPow]

no i don't really.

I was never one to get a lot of underarm perspiration. I tend to get very wet hands, though, which is much much worse.

the clammy hands are awful, but i feel like a lot people get that. I usually wipe them off between stocks.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I wipe them between stock too, but I do that between every stock now. Its really rough when you're trying to make a comeback on your last stock and the opponent doesn't give you that time

 

[Xyzz]

I tend to wipe my hands all the time as well, despite them not really being sweaty. Paranoia and stuff... (how the hell would I consistently perform double shines, if the amount of force needed to slide from one button to the other isn't constant because of lower friction with the tiniest amount of sweat? :D).

 

[pokemongeof]

Something that happens to me that i discovered at Zenith is that in the beginning, when I play others, I choke!


I have got to stop that

I do this too except its usually only against one of my opponents...he knows how to get in my head sometimes , but sometimes i can get in his head as well.

 

[CyberZixx]

Thankfully I don't have sweaty hands. The choking thing can be an issue. Just gotta stay cool under pressure.

 

[Shikenshu]

Yo guys, I will always remember the glory days of M2K.

Spoiler

 

[ShroudedOne]

LOL that picture.

I've recently been having issues with choking when I'm behind. I'll play well, lose a stock to something, and then I'll start getting worried and then SD and then my tech skill gets terrible and then I throw a match/set I definitely could've have. It is disheartening, but I dunno how to....keep my confidence, I guess.

Doesn't help that this game is SUPER DIFFICULT

 

[Ziodyne]

Got into a very similar situation at KoC2.

Wasn't playing well, down a game, and on pretty much my last stock of the SET. Doubly important because if I lost, I wouldn't have made it out of pools.

I knew it'd be super easy to choke though if I thought about that **** too hard, so I thought about other stuff. I thought about what exactly I'd need to do take a stock and how to go about not getting hit while doing it. Casually baited him into coming near the ledge by kinda weaving in and out and making it look like I was getting pushed back outta fear. He over extended and I got the stupidest ****ing stomp and he didn't meteor cancel.

Rest of the set went a lot better, probably because my opponent wasn't ready to choke stocks like that. This is kinda where that UmbreonMow **** really applies and you gotta separate emotion from your gameplay, if only to calm the **** down and get your **** together.

 

[BTmoney]

s/o to you for the Sho Minamimoto avatar as well

 

[DeadLastClown]

Does anyone know the name of this certain Hype/Combo video? The first combo is of Falcon doing two drop zones starting from the top platform on Yoshi's, and the song was some older song being remixed to sound modern. It is fairly new I'm think.

 

[KrIsP!]

NCR smash promo. I think typing that on YouTube will find it, not sure what its called.

 

[pokemongeof]

Did u hear? Jesus aka JMan has come out of retirement to come to EVO! HYPE

 

[BTmoney]

[standardtoaster]

IE's PSA for people to pick up TVs at colleges is working out well

[BTmoney]

look at the response to the 2nd top comment LOL

 

[Kadano]

Because store bought deodorants are profit-orientated garbage. Their active ingredients are usually alcohol (anti-bacterial, but only until it’s evaporated which takes like 2 minutes), aluminum chlorohydrate (decreases perspiration, but not completely and might be toxic) and perfume (overshadows the sweaty stench).
The best solution are chemicals that kill the bacteria, for example sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and zinc oxide. I stir them in liquified shea butter. After cooling down, you get a thick cream that stops odor for at least 24 hours.

Concerning the sweaty hands problem, I always carry a towel with me as well as diluted sodium bicarbonate. I pour some of it on one end of the towel and rub it against my hands and my controller, then I use the other end to rub them dry. Removes both grease and sweat very effectively.

kadano being good at life of course
