eh, i could probably afford to drive to tourneys, but my car, meh i dont trust it going over mountain ranges and stuff, maybe with 2 people tops i might try it. but for big tournaments, i usually have enough money to help with 10-15 bucks in gas or whatevs, even though i dont play smash much anymore, i'd still enjoy going to tournaments.

So I've been playing brawl online crews for a smogon tournament lol. I finished up for my team. Took six stocks and lost 2 of my three stocks. Too good, but not good enough I need to take more stocks.

3stocked the first guy I played
Took another three stocks and lost two to a snake player afterwards. Awye G&W too good

Edit: Yeah I am up for some smash this thanksgiving. I want SC2 so I can practice my macro :(

hell yeah. our team TAPS. i bet if you went to cgc, we would've done better than when the styles teamed with TAFOKINTS (sheik, the inferior version of zelda.)

i need to get warmed up again, i havent played melee with people in a while. but just give me a few games with a fox/marth and my young link should be back to normal.

and yeah, get @ the 8-stocks.

at OC3, brandon and i got 2nd or 3rd in our pool, and we got 8-stocked by M2K/Chu

btw, that tournament had the most awesome west coast teams ever.

team standings:

1. Isai/King
2. Ken/Bombsoldier
3. M2K/Chu

Lol yep I agree kens teams marth is amazing, what's cool is he was smart enough to know that you play marth quite a bit differently than you do in singles, because If you play it the same marth sucks in teams, which is why everyone thinks marth isn't a teams character. You just have to adapt to a teams environment playstyle and he wrecks, unarguable best team ever? El chocolate diablo

Well Ken's style works well with teams imo since he isn't the type to play defensive with marth in the first place even though it's known the be the better playing style for marth for 1v1.

Old school melee is too good

Also who's going back this thanksgiving? Are you guys going to play some SC2 friendlies? I'd like to watch some of those

ive always thought it was worse to play an aggressive marth than a defensive one, marth's combos are insane on pretty much every common character aside puff

an aggressive one is always in your face comboing the **** out of you, a defensive marth is a good play style but it gives you more time to gather youself with the situation at hand

yeah, puff and also ganon, you cant combo either of those. but yeah marth is good to play offensive in singles (aside from aforementioned characters) but really shines when you adapt a bit of a more defensive playstyle in teams.

Yeah everyone plays however they like, but in the end some ways are better than others in certain match-ups sadly unless you're so good that you can overcome such difficulties.

I love cactuar's playing style, it's just so amusing. He really irritates a lot of people with his campy style, but hey do whatever you need to win
