Yeah, except you can't pitch him to a force lol.

I'm sorta out of competitive magic now, but i do have a cube, because cube draft is the best.

My cube got stolen at Nats. -_____- It is literally the last time I leave something that valuable in my hotel room when I am sharing a hotel room.

I will come up to ABQ to battle sometime. Is the MK ban still happening? Apex seemed to put some doubt in people. I will need a new main. I play Fox/Fox/MK (64/melee/brawl) and I think I'll just play fox in brawl too for the trifecta. :p

i still think mk is banworthy. if nietono mained mk, he'd be unstoppable. if kakera didn't use ICs in tournament he would have placed higher. if m2k knew anything about the MU he would have beaten OCEAN.

i think the japanese have shown us that there's a lot more out there for ROB, olimar, and ICs, but for other characters it's still a mystery and none of it changes that MK has an answer for all of it

bullshit

he's m2k, he's entered so many brawl tournaments that he obviously knew the matchup. and even if he didn't, it doesn't matter, mk destroys rob.

ocean straight up outclassed m2k.

m2k did a lot of dumb stuff

and i agree that ocean styled on him hard but the point is its not like this changes anything about the matchup. like you said, mk destroys rob

6. Banjo . . . Walker said something during the fest that really stuck with me, so later I'm going to post an angry wall of text to scold you. Kinda busy right now but expect me to blow you up via the anonymity of the Internet later. I promise.

I'm following up on that promise. Josh, I've tried for years in small ways to help you be more social. People will immediately object to me and reply with bull**** like, "You're trying to change someone's personality!" Or they'll offer relativist arguments like, "Why does "being social" even matter anyway?!" Well, I say **** those people. It allows you to lead a better life. Josh, I don't think you've changed. Maybe I'm wrong and you really are. Maybe in your professional and personal life you're a ****ing butterfly. Maybe you're a mastermind who's the life of every party you go to but just secretly hates us for whatever reason, invents a new persona in front of us, and never talks to us. Maybe you'll be a billionaire playboy :awesome::cool::awesome:

I doubt it. So, I'll remind you what I sent you 6 months ago when I was about to quit. Look in the mirror and decide for yourself how much you've changed.

Let me tell you a little story. I went to very small preschool and a highly confined Christian elementary school. Those years are a distant memory, but afterwards, I was a pudgy, nerdy 9-year-old brown kid walking into a public middle school (Madison) without any clue of what it would be like. It was miserable. Bullies took advantage of me relentlessly for three whole years. I was swirlied. I got trash-canned. I sometimes walked home with a bloody nose and a black eye. Kids often stole my lunch money and I had to starve. All that **** you see in the TV shows and movies really happened to me. Somehow I survived to high school, and I was a 12-year-old freshman when I first discovered Super Smash Bros. At the time, I was still a loser who didn’t know how to talk to people. I was still comparable to the typical home-schooled kid.

But everyone here was kind to me. The smash community was full of friendly, trustworthy people. Not to mention they make for hilarious company. As a result, I learned how to deal with people, and now I feel a lot more confident about approaching the real world. In fact, one time Steven was alone at my house, and after walking through the hallways and noticing my stunted childhood portraits, he said to me “Joining smash was probably good for you.” He was right.

The remaining years of high school were unbelievably fun. I made so many new friends. I even started getting invitations to parties. Perhaps most poignantly, I met the love of my life, and she was my girlfriend for a fair amount of time.

Josh, if you want to be successful, you need to learn how to be social. Right now, you’re not. It’s a rude, unbecoming thing of me to say, but it’s the truth. I suspect your family can’t help you. I also believe that job at McDonald’s won’t help either. I’m quite certain that playing 1P games don’t help either.

Make an effort. Talk to people (specifically, these smashers). Strike up conversations with them. They’re interesting people, obviously. Offer to simply hang out with them. Grab lunch or dinner together, watch some movies with them at the theaters, or even find a workout buddy. This is, after all, perfect summertime weather and you’d be surprised how much people want to exercise together. You don’t need to have a car, rely on your folks, or save a handsome sum of money. In a way, they’ll take care of it for you, simply because they’re good at what they do. They will help you get far in life.

Of course, I’ll always be here for you too.

Banjo, I for one would like to say that you are a supremely cool dude. I don't know you as well as I would like to, but I want you to know that if you ever want to like talk about stuff, or like hang out, let me know!

I'm pretty anti social too. :( But Josh. Hit me up on aim sometime. The "away" is just a front to make annoying people leave me alone. :p REMEMBER HOW WE PLAYED ****ING MONSTER HUNTER TOGETHER?

I keep telling myself to be more social, but I never really do that. I dunno why, it's not hard. I'll keep at it though. Thanks for the encouraging words though, wraith.

And yeah, I remember playing Monster Hunter with you, Arie. Do you still play Tri every now and then?

I'm hosting THE LAST FEST OF WINTER BREAK tomorrow (saturday the 14th). it's going to start kinda late because i have to do naughty things with ronald in the morning / stop at unm / donate blood. like around 5 pm. We'll celebrate Walker's return and watch all his replays ;););)

BRING SETUPS JESUS ****ING CHRIST

ZMan said:
fixed
Click to expand...
No. It's not fixed. Walker definitely places higher than me. You're basing results off 1 casualfag anti-competitive ruleset bracket that I never entered in the first place, and another somewhat legitimate tournament with a ridiculously close (fluke) ending: match 5 last stock high %. Walker is clearly more interested and knowledgeable about the game and community. He flew 2000 ****ing miles for it, when I wouldn't even bother to play out a GF set for charity. Also, tournament nerves will affect him less and less . . . allowing him to successfully chaingrab me with ICs even more. It spells disaster for me, considering how reckless my playstyle is and how easily I get grabbed.

False. Being social is hard by definition. Fortunately, it becomes more natural with time. And "practice." Like everything else. I feel extremely stupid and insulting typing this stuff since it's common sense, but whatever. Especially the advice below. :glare: Disclaimer: it's very emotionless and insensitive. There probably are better ways to word this, but for now, my objectivity will have to suffice. My apologies in advance :c

1) You spend a lot of time just passively sitting at a secluded spot on the floor. You can make that time pass much faster if you make conversation in the meantime. It'll be a lot more fun that way, too. If nothing comes to mind, then AT LEAST make observations or ask questions about the games being played. Things like, how does the falcon-falcon matchup work? Or, why does this team die disproportionately more on this stage? Maybe, i'm just picking up street fighter and trying to play it like smash. clearly that's not working, what should I change?

2) Let's put chit-chat aside. To reserve your spot in the rotation, you quietly whisper "i call next match" when other people are yelling random **** over your mouse-like voice. They don't hear it and wrongfully squeeze in more rounds. Not to mention once you actually get to play, you are quickly kicked off. Unless they specifically request more, you shouldn't yield so quickly. Assert yourself. Your parents drove you all the way here. Get your parents' gas money's worth.

3) In teams, people ***** and moan about you dying quickly. Well, don't. Just run to the center of the stage or the most neutral possible position when you're at high %. As for being social, teams are a mutual effort. Talk to your partner. Be a cheerleader. Be assuring. Celebrate out loud when the two of you are left standing after a double KO on the enemy. Strategize and regroup if you both die. I confess all of us kind of suck at that and need to do that more. tl;dr T.E.A.M. = Talking Excessively And Mockingly

4) Go to fast food places with everyone more, and try to carpool to and from smashfests more. You're missing out on golden moments of manly bonding.

5) Damn it, Josh, I know you have it in you. I know you can do it. So do it.

i based my rankings off primarily off of results, so that's why i put you over gorf. you make a good argument about gorf > you though. you are still better at brawl than you are at melee though.

I agree with what you said, Neil. I need to work on all that, even though it's pretty obvious. And don't worry about it sounding insensitive, it really isn't.

****ing Robert and Mike (my friends) brawl me all the time, I pump them up to be more involved but they go through phases. There is probably ONLY 10 of us that have a passion for brawl, maybe even less. Nevertheless.....I can't make it to the fest today, prior obligations.

I'm in my cave...trying to get down insta-throws and such
