Friday would be best to avoid confrontation with Devastation 08.
Totally agree.

Okay, so you schedule a small tournament about 13 hours in advance, and you schedule it within an hour of the COMPLETE middle of the week (second, minute, hour, day, and all)

Sadly my Wii was stolen, remember? I've been playing it on my friend's modded Wii and I only played it over the weekend. We earned every character in 2 days. It was crazy. When the game REALLY comes out I'll get another Wii and be sure to give everyone my friend code. I'm sure there will be some thread for it.

So what are the controls like in Brawl? I heard it's hard to control your character, but in the videos I've seen (esp. the tourney vids from Cali) they move fluidly.
Also, can you fast fall during an aeriel attack like in melee, or is it like ssb64 where you have to fast fall before or after the attack is complete?
Knightmare
Smash Cadet
Honestly Brawl is slower than Melee and a little faster than 64. It's like in between. So it takes a little while to get used to the speed but it isnt hard and the characters move fluidly. I can't quite remember the fast falling in 64 but from when you describe thats pretty much what is it is brawl. I kept trying to fast fall but it only felt like i did after I'd use an attack.
Rang Flash
Smash Journeyman
Well I don't mind it being slower. I just hate the way you fast fall in 64. Hopefully it's a little bit better. For example, this video gives me hope:

At around 1:54, Link fast-falls his nair while it was still out. You can't do that in 64.

you got nothin to worry about when it comes to falcon, rang. Playing him today made me consider maining him.

Smash Champion
Brawl, in my opinion is SLOWER than 64. Fun as ****, though.
Rang Flash
Smash Journeyman
Yeah your probably right about it being slower if you consider Z-canceling.
Rang Flash
Smash Journeyman
That's very interesting. So what's so good about him this time around?
Knightmare
Smash Cadet
His knee was nerfed from what I remember trying him so thats not good for Falcon players...
Haha Gmo you were doing pretty good with Sonic like after one match with playing with him.
I think I'll have Snake as my main.
maXXXpower
Smash Champion
Yeah, Sonic felt pretty natural for me.
I hope I can take his game to a whole nutha level.

Snake mains are badass because of their l33t projectile mindgames.

Hey, is anyone going to the Devistation tournament this weekend? I'm looking forward to playing the Smash players down there!
Elysium

Unfortunately I'm not going to be to go. It sounds like it's going to be a blast though.
I am going to conditionally announce a tourney exactly the first Saturday of the month after Brawl comes out in the USA, conditions are that I can't be working that day. I think that day is April 8th.
Everyone should come that wants to be part of the new AZ Brawl community. I'll make a thread post later about it.

I think im going to not be serious about brawl. I don't have the time to dedicate to the game...and maybe i will just wait a year and let everyone else figure out all the hard stuff for me. ^_^ that is all.

Irony and coincidence are two different things.
No work johns.
AHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
I just wanted to thank Yamer for having us yesterday. I had a great time. Also Sean for the Melee friendlies. We should do some more at Devastation. If you're not to busy with Street Fighter or something.

rockman2k1 is going forward with his plan to, from Texas, go west and keep going forward. He is looking forward to playing forward.

Haha, so many 'forward' puns. And mine was by accident.

Don't look backward once you've left TX.

So, those who have played Brawl, do you think it will be competitive?
Knightmare
Smash Cadet
Eventually yes.

If there is no way to cancel lag, I'm inclined to say no.
I hope I'm wrong, though. REAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYY.

After playing it Tai I believe that one day it will be.
You just gotta believe Tai.

You can cancel aeriel lag by letting the attack finish before you hit the ground. Also, Falcons nair and Lucario's dair are auto-canceled.
maXXXpower
Smash Champion
Yeah, some moves land without lag. What about the rest?
xyouxarexuglyx2
Smash Lord
Well, that's pretty much how it is with Melee and 64 as well. That's why doing immediate n-airs with Marth can be autocancelled, even with a fastfall.

That will probably get banned if people go out of control with it. No worries. Sakurai is a ******* if he kept delying the game to get rid of all the glitches. Thats a big "IN YO FACE" to him.
Rang Flash
Smash Journeyman
The thing is, it only works if you miss a tech, and there's a half second window of opportunity. Since n00bs don't usually know how to tech, they're the ones that are gonna get owned by it most of the time.
I want to go but I probably can't travel out of Tucson.

Smashing and Canceling(?) with SSBB: or "My (thats me, Ka, the wonder child of our dearest Mother Earth) first impression of the new game.
These are my words.
These are my thoughts.
This is my opinion.
Only take this half-seriously.
Steven, Pokey and I crashed Yamer's house around 4:30 on Wednesday. The plan was to take his house by storm and demand that he let us play the game that we're not suppose to play for another month or so. We accomplished what we set out to do. Yamer is a generous, welcoming man who has blue streaks in his hair. And I'm cool with that.
Oh, and Forward was there.
TCB sat comfortably in front of Yamer's small but cozy apartment and plugged our controllers into Yamer's modded wii. It was a very memorable moment for me. The excitement that tingled in my stomach before my first Brawl match compared only to the first time I got a hand job in high school. I wonder what that girl's doing nowadays.
I was excited.
And that overwhelming sense of expectation came through in full ecstasy (again, high school) upon playing my first match ALL THE WAY till the last moment of play. It was great. It was fun. It lasted more that 15 seconds.
The game is great and in a sense gives more promise than back when I first played Melee. Sure you pretty much cannot do anything you could do in Melee AND it is overall a bit slower, but if you've read previous posts of mine you'd know that my opinion on this issue is that:
A) This is a new game
B) ...not Melee: The Two Towers (or Empire Strikes Back)
But all cuteness aside, it's fun. Yes, fun. Brawl is a fun game. What does this mean?
To me it means a lot, but most importantly it means that its not going to be very long before some ******* takes the fun out of it and makes it competitive.
Did you know somewhere in Cali people hold Rock, Paper, Scissor tournaments? Seems ridiculous right? I mean, cmon, its Rock, Paper, Scissors. But after watching some coverage of the event some lonely night not too long ago I grew a weird appreciation for the people who brought competitive spirit to something thats practically mundane to make competitive. And they do it because they enjoy doing it, they do it because for them it's fun.
The competitive spirit is what drove people to develop adv tech skill, creative gameplay, and overall play style for a game that (c'mon folks) was meant to be played in a very casual fashion.
Brawl is in such an early developing stage right now (its not even out yet!) that I don't feel its fair to judge the "competitiveness" of it. I can't even give you a legitimate opinion on that matter.
All I can just tell you from my experience is that the seeds for competitive play are there because its fun, original and flippin' Smash Bros! So be excited for Tai's sake.
