[K.C. Cloud]

Very possible that I might see you guys quite a bit then during my time off from college.

 

[Redd]

You guys can stay later, till like 8,9, or 10. Dont worry about rush hour. I forgot my cell phone at my house (at school) so Ill turn it on when I get home. If you get lost, call me and Ill try to help. Bizy, if you really wanted to host a fest, just say so and I could get to your house, its too late now, so still come to my house, but just tell me next time...
So here is a list of names,

Chozen: Rich
Wuss: Stefan
bizy: wtf is your name...???
masa: matt?
jigg: will... i mean mike
plairnkk: Jon (I think it has to do with... nvm)


If you post and tell me your name, then Ill put it here.

Biz's name is Brian.</myspace hax>

I want to play fob and 5%, they seem to be stepping up their game, getting some fame, and staying away from bring lame.

 

[Ichor]

Jet you better take me with you no joke Redd do you be up there i want to play all of the best to get better

 

[Wuss]

chozen: you chould have come man, it was tight!

we had some good matches. Two quotes that stand out from last night:

biz: I left my phone in my car, that's why Im so unpopular

masa: your phone is right there.

biz: nobody likes me...

another:
masa: I see a wall of shines coming at me and I dont know what the **** to do.


lol, some good times...

Edit: Thank you tope for the name change.
also, biz and what not, we talked about it, so why not? We should play again tommorrow. What do you guys think?
I'd be willing to get to biz's house somehow...
Im at my dad's now, so I couldnt really get to metro. Just post and tell me what you think.

 

[MASAHIROx]

yea the festing was tight. i love chicken. i hate dc.

i cant fest tomorrow tho...it sucks...im grounded for a mouth (as of now...prob just a week tho...) cuz of that ****ing speed trap...biz knows wut im talking about...i have work untill two and then tons of homework...wuss you gotta come to bizes next time.

 

[FOB]

I wish I could go to fest... all I go to are tournaments, which are good... but fests are more oriented on playing the same people for a long time.

Who is going to c3?

 

[Smash G 0 D]

I wish I was at the festage

Ok just to let yall know my Marth is much better than my Luigi in terms of technical skill and some mindgames, I've been working on him.

BUT, my Luigi has mindgames vs the clueless

Overall that kinda makes them equal, except for the fact that Marth still has better matchups. Don't underestimate Luigi though. This post is mainly to inform you guys that they are equal in battle, not that one is better than the other.

Now reread that last paragraph. That way I know my point is across to you

 

[bizybozo]

Masa - wait wait wait wait wait. Masa, how'd do ur parents already know about the speed trap? did u tell them, or did they already send a letter? wtf?!

worried sick, biz.


Wuss - um, it'd be kinda hard to smash tommorow. I'm playing ultimate frisbee in the afternoon, and then when i get back I gotta get on college apps. And besides, masa wouldn't be coming so'd be just the 2 of us, which isn't as fun.

Do you private school kids have monday off? - I do. That's be a good time to chill. Get at me.

P.S when u called me eariler Wuss I was at work, sorry not to return the call.

 

[Wuss]

Its all good, but I have school on monday, I cant do anything then. That sux masa, I hope you arent grounded for a month.
I called chozen, but he still hasnt called me back the loser. He said he would last night, and still nothing. I wonder if he's up yet...

Wow, I took the time (as precious as it is...) to read the history of TNR, wow. Its quite the sob story... But with hope for the future. I like how all of the recent stuff is munched into 2 paragraphs, but he explains the old stuff in such detail. Its a good read.
BTW: I wasnt being sarcastic, if he spent too much time on the more recent stuff, it wouldnt have been a, well, history. Good S***.

 

[Brookman]

WOW Wuss, you're right, that was intensely depressing


I want to join almost...but not really...

 

[FOB]

... sudeenly TNR boards have become quiet....

ChozenOne- Are you going to cut like everyone from like... 13 down? Jigg excluded (he is just so awesome) Cause TNR really should get rid of all the people that don't play...


Currently listening to Bohemian Rhapsody.....

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Edit: lol the song seems so happy and stupid when you listen to it.


EDITagain) WHERE IS G-FIZZLE!!!!! I can't find him on like ANY boards anymore... WHERE IS HE>>>>> POST HERE!!!!...

 

[Smash G 0 D]

Uh-oh. Wuss made a double post! How was the Chu festage guys? I wish I was there.... *still wishing*

EDIT: holy crap 1 second I see wuss double post then i post and fob and brookman both posted.. *still wishing*

 

[Wuss]

lol, sorry about the double post, trying to bring the thread back to life (worked).
I love queen fob
Brookman: the sarcasm...
I still need to play smash god and fob...
How close do you guys live to DC?? I mean, we should try to meet up.

 

[FOB]

Didn't I get a match w/ you at one of the c3s?
oh well w/e
I live about half an hour from DC...
But my mom is like against inviting smashers (probably)

Come to c3, ccx, nod3, and I MIGHT be at one of Chu's fests some time.

I will be going to the next c3

 

[Wuss]

Ill see if I can make it to c3 this week, but I dont know...
I dont think we played at any tounament, except for a team match...

 

[FOB]

I heard that the new location is supposed to be good. If I see you there, I definetly want to get some matches.

It would be kinda cool if we all posted our "histories" ...

just a thought.

EDIT: now I feel like doing that because I have nothing else to do.

Back in Febuary, my brother was on aim with a friend. Somehow, his friend found some smash videos. Eitherway, my brother and I were very impressed even though we didn't know what was going on. At this time my brother was jumping from obsessions (Tales of Symphonia). My brother went to his friends house and formed what can only be called a "rival"
Over the next month, my brother sorta dragged me in to playing smash w/ him every day for an hour in order to become victorious. Back then I was playing fox because I was VERY impressed by "Shined Blind" and Pikachu was no good (chao PIKA). The next time my brother went to his friend's house he obtained a sure fire victory.
After a very succesful victory, my brother decided to play some of the people at his "computer club", which held 2 stock tournaments. Although he got far, he lost to the "best" smasher in the school that used Doctor Mario.
This is where I come in. Because my brother lost to a Doctor Mario player, i decided to help him train by using Doctor Mario temporarily. At this point I was very frustrated by Jigg's easy edge gaurd on fox. Although fox had a large advantage over Jiggs, I couldn't see through the continuous bairs that continued to aggravated me. When I played Doc, however, I could win by spamming SH pills and fair. The edge guards started occuring less often because I had pills and a cape to prevent it from happening. Delighted by this, I began to take Doctor Mario more seriously by reading some of the guides and participating in the fourms. I had actually made an account back in august but never used it. In addition to the things I read and watched to make my doc game better, I watched the combo video "Overdose". HOWEVER, I Did not switch just yet.
My brother instantly gained victory over "best player" and he was the #1 smasher in his computer club. Around this time I decided to show jonathan (5%) Shined Blind. Like me, he was very impressed however, he decided to maintain Sheik who he had always used since 4th grade. Still using fox as my main at this point, we played smash every weekend.
After attending a different tournament held by school kids, my brother made 50$. He grew very interested in the competitive side of smash and began to research. Soon after he attended Bowsertree's fest in Baltimore. Surprised that he wasn't as bad as the though he was, we attended Arcade Smash, and CCX in May. The tournaments were amazing. I made tons of friends and had a great time. Back then, I was the "VET" for playing an animal and Doctor mario. After this we all (Aero, me , 5%, Jazn, Patrick), began to attend tournaments to where we are today. Although many of the people that were in our previous group quit, they were replaced by many other friends that were interested in the smash community. After two more tournaments, i decided to change my name to "FOB MONEY" because me and my brother used the the term "FOB" a lot because we attended a church where a lot of immigrants straight from Asia came from. Today I play a very technical style of smash which continues to grow. I also play smash every day after school with friends, and smash at night with my brother.


Stupid Facts:
~ 5% got his name back when I was CLEARLY (lol) better than him. We were all playing smash in my basement and he told me that he could beat me 50% of the time. I told him he was wrong and that it was more like 5%. Jazn, who was brainstorming names, laughed and told 5% to be 5% tax (completly random). However he used it. hahaha

~ My brother's name and my previous names were from a LONG time ago. We both had two different plushies. He had a Shamu one, and I had a Pikachu doll. He came up with the name Aeroshamu, and I made Chaopika with my obsession of Sonic. His name eventually changed to Aeroshadow. I would have used my name in smash, but both Chao and Pika were both stupid names.

~When we all chose our names, my brother was still uncertain. We all told him to be RING.
This was because one of our strange ideas was to be crew "pro wannabes"
FOB MONEY (this was still an idea back then)-Bob Money (we thought he was pro)
Jazn- Azen
Ring-King
5%- we never thought of anything...



Although 5% and my brother will probably be telling me that I have parts wrong, I will probably be to lazy to change it.

 

[MASAHIROx]

IM A SMASH DIRECTOR NOW *****ES!!! you know you like it.

i wanna smash...GO GIANTS!!

 

[5%tax]

where did u come up with all of the free time to write that fob?!?!?!?!
but i cant find any wrong facts in it, exept for mabey that patric only came to one tourney.

 

[Wuss]

ok here:

My love for smash started when the game came out. I got a gamecube for christmas in 2001, and SSBM and NHL hitz. I played smash with my friends all the time, and I was considered the best. I even trained a friend in the art of mindgames (yea...). I played roy at the time and my friend played marth, we knew nothing of the world of smash, bu enjoyed the game to its fullest as we knew it. I thought that roy was the best character in the game, by far. He's fast (running anyways), powerful, and His forward smash was easy to spam with the c-stick

The mindgames I refered to earlier, were basically psyching your opponenent out by rolling together, and stopping eventually, and using either forward or down smash to get your opponent. It was simple, but fun. We played a lot, but I soon got tired of it because I thought I was the best that there was, that I couldnt get better.

My freshman year in high school (2005-2006), I went to these "get togethers" which a parent of one of my friends from school organized. (not the people I played with before). He needed some entertainment for these, so I brought smash and some other games. I dominated of course. Later in the year, someone from school who I knew, but wasnt exactly friends with (didnt hate or like), approached me and asked if I played smash. I paused, and answered yes. I think I also included a little, " and Ill own you too" sort of comment. He asked if I would be interested in joining/founding a smash club at our school. I said sure, why not, and thus my obsession began. He had found out that I played smash because the friend who hosted the "get togethers" told him that I would own him in smash. So we had our first meating, and although I was clearly good (in retrospect), they beat me. They had basic knowledge of smash that I did not have. My friend (chris aka chris with lime) informed me of Smashboards, and "The Falcon Assassin" was born.

We continued to play every friday after school, sometimes being harrassed by rich stuck up jocks (god I hate them, there are so many at my school...), but we didnt care. We knew we had fun and that was all that mattered. As time went by, my knowledge increased from hours and hours on the boards, reading and posting constantly, to further my knowledge of smash. I finally was able to beat my friends at school, and although I still wasnt the best, I could hang with them pretty well. Although I was better, I was constantly hungry for more knowledge and more skill to obtain.

I stumbled across some threads that noobs posted saying that they had trouble wavedashing or l cancelling or whatever. I didnt post in these or make any of my own, but I used what others posted to learn the advanced ways, and thus my desire to become better grew immensly. I saw a short info thing about wavedashing and became fascinated by it. I couldnt really do it, but I wanted to so badly. I continued also to play every friday, and my experience grew rapidly. I soon mastered the SH, and spammed it and was able to win readily against my friends. I still wasnt quite where I wanted to be. I worked harder and harder until, I could finally wavedash, and SHFFL. I felt like a god. I had mastered these simple techniques, and they had unlocked an entire world of smash that was unknown and unthought of. I tried to use these techniques so much, that I lost even more. I found myself becoming more and more frustrated, because Everytime I lost, I knew that I had more skill than he did (tech skill anyways), but I didnt play the best that I could. I wasnt sure what to do. So I just kept practicing. Soon, I decided to learn how to waveshine. I played marth at the time, but I knew that this would unlock more options and further my knowledge of the game. I learned it a very curious way. I use my my thumb on the b button, and reach my index finger up to the y button, to jump out of the shine. Thats the way I learned it, and I cant unlearn it, but It wokrs pretty well. I soon boasted of this fact to my friends. My tech skill was increasing more and more every day from the practice I was getting. I switched mains to samus because I loved to spam, and I loved running away. We were sitting in a room, about to play, when one of the smashers entered their name in. I had never seen this before, and was taken aback. Everyone decided to enter one. Lime, leet (oh god...), and I sat their thinking. I knew I wanted a name, and then it popped into my head, Wuss. The perfect name. Humble, funny, and comes with a bag of mindgames. (which I didnt even realize until just now.,..). Thus, Wuss was born.

I wanted to go to a tournament. I had seen pro vids. And was extremely impressed by chu dat's performance in FC3. (I mean who wasnt). I decided to go to his bi weekly, and I couldnt wait. I went with two of my friends, and coaxed my mom into driving us there. She wasnt to thrilled about sendin me to play video games for 6 hours, but I convinced her. I knew I had no chance of winning and was mainly just excited to see chu dat who was a celebrity to me at that time. I was almost as nervous walking up to his house as I was when I waited in line to shake Al Gore's hand. Like I said, he was a celebrity. I actually did meet doll, CK, and blues there, although they probably dont remember me being there. I even two stocked doll in a peach ditto, after which he proclaimed that he wasnt very good. Although this cheered me up, I took a brutal double 4 stock from CK who destroyed me with marth in two games. I didnt expect much, but I thought I was better. I left that biweekly, knowing my place (at the bottom) and being thoroughly happy with my time there. Chu was as nice as I thought he would be, and he made my day. I mean, meeting the 2nd ranked player in the US was HUGE!!!! I loved it.

I continued to improve, and went to a CCX tournament a couple weeks later, still maining samus. I played sheikij there, beating him in a friendly on Battlefield, and was stuck in pool with Neo and the Newb. I managed to take a stock off of Neo's roy which was a huge improvement, and although I was really happy to meet (he'll never remember me though...) Neo, I wasnt quite as star-studded because I realized that they were people just like me. I took another brutal souble four stock from the newb, and went 4 and 3 in my pool which didnt let me advance, but made me happy. The tournament went a little long, and I forgot to call my mom. When the friend who came with me dropped me off at my house. I knew I was in trouble. I forgot to call when it went late, and I knew my mom would be upset. She yelled a little, and said that I couldnt go to another tournament for a long time because of it. I was upset, but I knew that the punishment was kind of fair.

I still played with my friends occasionally, but I couldnt go to any more tournaments. I started to play marth more, and fox as my tech skill grew and grew. I could now beat my friends most of the time, and my confidence was building.

Zec, a member of trail's crew, Pm'ed me about meeting up with Wuwu who would (wow thats some illiteration) be coming to DC. I was really excited, so I gave him a call. We set up a time, and location, and all that was left was to ask my mom. I knew she wouldnt like it, but I didnt think she would go beserk. I asked her if someone that I met on the internet could come to our house, and she flipped. At first I couldnt understand why because all smashers are so cool and could never have bad intent, but then I realized that my mom didnt know this, and that what I asked sounded pretty d*** sketchy...

I was then banned from smash, and she stole my game away from me. I chose the path of good behaviour, and we got on each others good side again.

I was about to leave for a camp, when a scheme hatched in my head. I hade been visiting smashboards all along unbeknownst to my mother, and I still had desire to play. I asked if before I left, I could play for 30 minutes. She complied and gave me the game, and left me alone with it. I played, and when the time came, I switched the disk of smash with a game disc that looked similar. I gave her back the box, and prayed that she didnt open it and look to hard at the disc. I left the next day still thinking about what I had done, and with knots in my stomach, hoping that she didnt find out.

I managed to enjoy my camp anyway, and came back to find out that nothing had happened. Relieved, I began to play again when my mom wasnt home, and I improved more and more. I then started to want to go to another tournament, so I looked online again. I found out that Chu's biweeklies had ended, and that chozen was stepping it up. I posted saying that I would come to his second/less popular biweekly, not knowing exactly how I would get there. I realized that my dad could probably take me, but he would have to be willing to do it behind my mothers back (that sounds kind of sketch...). He was extremely reluctant, but I managed to convince him, and I made it out. I met chozen there, and reaffirmed myself a little with lbues. Wuwu also made it, and I talked to him about what had happened, and he said it was all cool. I knew that smashers where cool. I also met biz there, and recalled playing him at CCX. I realized that these would keep my love for smash alive. So I kept coaxing my dad to take my, and I liked playing so much. I saw TNR's page, and decided to join. I knew that TA was out there, but I wasnt sure how serious they were about letting a noob like me in, and helping me grow. I met up with chozen, doll, and CK a couple of times late in the summer, an improved vastly from playing them. At one of these meetings, I was losing all of my matches of course, but then I decided to play chozen's falco in a ditto. I had been learning some basic falco combos and do's and dont's, but I didnt think I was very good. I two stocked him. I played the best I had ever played up to that point, and I remember blues commenting that my falco was "hot". Out of rage ( I dont blame him), chozen challenged again. I beat him again but by one stock. I then realized, that falco was my destiny.

I now play falco as my main, and am still getting better. My mom still has no idea that I stole the game back (although she "gave it back" eventually), and that I have been to tournaments since that CCX. I love smash, and hope that this community never dies.

 

[Smash G 0 D]

Ummm yeah I'll post my history later. I think I wanna pick up Samus as like a secondary to replace Fox. I think Fox is overused and I have more Samus potential. She's just too stylish. Mine needs lots of work though

 

[Wuss]

O, BTW, my history is about 400 words longer than the TNR history!!!
I rule!!! It took me about 45 minutes to write it, It better be good.

 

[Smash G 0 D]

Congrats to Wuss on his post number 1111!!!!!

Wuss also has post # 1337 in this thread.

 

[Wuss]

Ill have to lose the amazing post number of 1111, but o well...
Chozen: you said a while ago that we need a counter for sheik, my fox has a decent matchup against sheik. I can usually **** them well. I also play icees a little, but they arent very good.

 

[MASAHIROx]

wuss: i only read the opening and closing paragraphs but good ****...too bad my fox ***** yr falcos ****!!! hehe but then again yr falco ***** my link soo....yea watever..and to answer yr pm, i charge entrants $3 per person, per event.

i think im picking up marth...just to beat jigg in a ditto...to spite him

and since im board heres how i got involved w/ smash:

i saw tru life: im a professionla gamer on mtv and saw killaOR mad skillz. i thought i was ok at this game so i went to chu's first biweekly. i didnt know chu or a single person there...it was extreamly awkward...but now, i know people. I remember chz1 (falco player) doll, and ck from chu's biweekly and asked to smash w/ them sometime and started attending his smash fests. I train w/ doll, biz and ck weekly even though im not getting better (very frustrating).

 

[bizybozo]

Good read Wuss, LOL at playing without the madre knowing. 2 funny. I 2 stocked chozen the first time i played him too, but didn't beat him again. shweet. i don't have the energy to post my history, and i'm not sure how many people would read it anyway. they've been interesting thus far.

chao - so is Aeroshadow (the jigg player) ur bro? or is it a different aero?

 

[Jigg]

my history of smash:
2001: i bought ssbm, played it untill i unlocked everybody,mained bowser, got bored, went back to diablo2
Later 2001-2004: played every now and then with friends (ssbm is great as a party game), mained bowser, picked up roy
December 2005: i found out there was a competitive side to smash, but wasnt very interested realized jigglypuff wasnt a crappy character, started to use her
June 2006: found out about smash boards, has been hooked ever since. mained jigglypuff, and kinda used link
July or August 2006: chozen and CK told me to main marth, so i did
September 2006: started to feel a hatred of marth, still used him because he could tip people
October 2006: still feeling my hatred toward marth, i learned some rest combos with jigglypuff, but still mained marth because he can tip.
November 2006: still hates marth, wishes my jigglypuff was better, and starting hate myself for not smashing with TNR very often.

I knew I had no chance of winning and was mainly just excited to see chu dat who was a celebrity to me at that time. I was almost as nervous walking up to his house as I was when I waited in line to shake Al Gore's hand. Like I said, he was a celebrity. I actually did meet doll, CK, and blues there, although they probably dont remember me being there. I even two stocked doll in a peach ditto, after which he proclaimed that he wasnt very good. Although this cheered me up, I took a brutal double 4 stock from CK who destroyed me with marth in two games. I didnt expect much, but I thought I was better. I left that biweekly, knowing my place (at the bottom) and being thoroughly happy with my time there. Chu was as nice as I thought he would be, and he made my day. I mean, meeting the 2nd ranked player in the US was HUGE!!!! I loved it.
I continued to improve, and went to a CCX tournament a couple weeks later, still maining samus. I played sheikij there, beating him in a friendly on Battlefield, and was stuck in pool with Neo and the Newb. I managed to take a stock off of Neo's roy which was a huge improvement, and although I was really happy to meet (he'll never remember me though...) Neo, I wasnt quite as star-studded because I realized that they were people just like me. I took another brutal souble four stock from the newb, and went 4 and 3 in my pool which didnt let me advance, but made me happy. The tournament went a little long, and I forgot to call my mom. When the friend who came with me dropped me off at my house. I knew I was in trouble. I forgot to call when it went late, and I knew my mom would be upset. She yelled a little, and said that I couldnt go to another tournament for a long time because of it. I was upset, but I knew that the punishment was kind of fair.
I still played with my friends occasionally, but I couldnt go to any more tournaments. I started to play marth more, and fox as my tech skill grew and grew. I could now beat my friends most of the time, and my confidence was building.
Zec, a member of trail's crew, Pm'ed me about meeting up with Wuwu who would (wow thats some illiteration) be coming to DC. I was really excited, so I gave him a call. We set up a time, and location, and all that was left was to ask my mom. I knew she wouldnt like it, but I didnt think she would go beserk. I asked her if someone that I met on the internet could come to our house, and she flipped. At first I couldnt understand why because all smashers are so cool and could never have bad intent, but then I realized that my mom didnt know this, and that what I asked sounded pretty d*** sketchy...
I was then banned from smash, and she stole my game away from me. I chose the path of good behaviour, and we got on each others good side again.
I was about to leave for a camp, when a scheme hatched in my head. I hade been visiting smashboards all along unbeknownst to my mother, and I still had desire to play. I asked if before I left, I could play for 30 minutes. She complied and gave me the game, and left me alone with it. I played, and when the time came, I switched the disk of smash with a game disc that looked similar. I gave her back the box, and prayed that she didnt open it and look to hard at the disc. I left the next day still thinking about what I had done, and with knots in my stomach, hoping that she didnt find out.
I managed to enjoy my camp anyway, and came back to find out that nothing had happened. Relieved, I began to play again when my mom wasnt home, and I improved more and more. I then started to want to go to another tournament, so I looked online again. I found out that Chu's biweeklies had ended, and that chozen was stepping it up. I posted saying that I would come to his second/less popular biweekly, not knowing exactly how I would get there. I realized that my dad could probably take me, but he would have to be willing to do it behind my mothers back (that sounds kind of sketch...). He was extremely reluctant, but I managed to convince him, and I made it out. I met chozen there, and reaffirmed myself a little with lbues. Wuwu also made it, and I talked to him about what had happened, and he said it was all cool. I knew that smashers where cool. I also met biz there, and recalled playing him at CCX. I realized that these would keep my love for smash alive. So I kept coaxing my dad to take my, and I liked playing so much. I saw TNR's page, and decided to join. I knew that TA was out there, but I wasnt sure how serious they were about letting a noob like me in, and helping me grow. I met up with chozen, doll, and CK a couple of times late in the summer, an improved vastly from playing them. At one of these meetings, I was losing all of my matches of course, but then I decided to play chozen's falco in a ditto. I had been learning some basic falco combos and do's and dont's, but I didnt think I was very good. I two stocked him. I played the best I had ever played up to that point, and I remember blues commenting that my falco was "hot". Out of rage ( I dont blame him), chozen challenged again. I beat him again but by one stock. I then realized, that falco was my destiny.
I now play falco as my main, and am still getting better. My mom still has no idea that I stole the game back (although she "gave it back" eventually), and that I have been to tournaments since that CCX. I love smash, and hope that this community never dies.

WOW THAT'S ALOT OF TYPING! Good bit of history there though.

 

[Tope]

I enjoyed reading everyone's history.

All I ask is actual paragraphs from now on, not from a mod stand point, just from an easy reading stand point. (hurts my eyes)

FOB - Pika > Jiggs, lol.
I'll show you next tourney.

Good stuff Wuss, with mass detailed history, I enjoyed reading it.

Man, I don't have a life >.>

 

[linkmastersword]

Chozen: you said a while ago that we need a counter for sheik, my fox has a decent matchup against sheik. I can usually **** them well. I also play icees a little, but they arent very good.

Definately ICs, I beat Xlax and another sheik 2 on 1 yesterday, (well I guess it was 2v2)

They don't know how to fight climbers at all, they both base their sheik game on grabs.

my favorite desync right now is nana doing a blizzard while I forward b attack in to them. then nana rushes in with the dsmash. too bad it's easy to avoid.

My history is a really long one.

I played the 64 game all the time. I bought ssbm the day it came out. I still play it to this day. I asked chozen if I could come to a biweekly this last june. I played a bunch of people, I was probably the middle most skilled player there. I kept attending biweeklies, now I'm part of TNR because of that crew battle. hollar

lol fats, I couldnt finish it, it was too long. I tried to make paragraphs, but I guess the only way to do that is to put a space between every one. I tried to put a couple of spaces before as a tab, but It didnt work. Ill edit it.

 

[AlphaZealot]

History...maybe I'll formulate one, it's hard to remember stuff from like 3 years ago.

lol you just made me laugh really hard...

It seems that me and wuss are the only ones that REALLY, posted our history.

 

[bizybozo]

ill get a history up later. knowing me it'll probably be all in-depth ans bull ****. I've never METur brother, but I always seem him around at tourneys.

 

[Doll]

Rich, you should really change your power ranking list. ;[ it's inaccurate as ****. imo :]

If you don't wanna have one, that's cool. But seeing how your crew is so competative, it could be an obstacle to work harden and stuff.

By working harder and stuff, i meant i want to see all of you backstabbing each other to the the top of the list >8D.

 

[Smash G 0 D]

1. Smash G 0 D - for being a cool 12 year old

lol jk

I dunno what we are gonna do about power rankings. I guess its up to chozenone.

 

[Wuss]

Exactly why we shouldnt have one ^???
Plus I think that Alpha Zealot should have to come to a fest or something before he joins. No offense to him, but he barely seems to be part of the crew, or at all interested. Plus, he's a lot different than us and doesnt seem to get out to small tourneys very much. Whatever...
