Ottawa Bi-weeklies, because illegal gambling is perfectly legal

[Fogel]

This week will be a smashfest, since HitH and Ben's mini-tourney were all within the last week.

 

[Linkshot]

Alright; have you decided to take a break, or are you going to host this week?

 

[Fogel]

I am hosting this week. I probably won't take a break for another 2 or 3 weeks; haven't decided yet.

 

[Divine_Haze]

So does that mean this friday will be a bi-weekly? if so, sign me up!

 

[Linkshot]

I think I will make it to this one, just cause I can.

EDIT

Due to the recent Official Release of Balanced Brawl, I propose we set aside blind opinions on it, and hold a bBrawl tourney instead of doubles.

If you click on my sig, you will be informed that there is a way to load this without homebrew.

Regardless, I am still able to install Homebrew Channel on any Wii that would like it.

Alongside bBrawl comes infinite replays and unrestricted camera.
The former is very useful for Grand Finals.

Cam, we can use somebody else's Wii instead, if Stack Smash makes you just as queasy.

It is important to me, as well as its large fanbase, that the bBrawl metagame evolves. It desperately needs solid, professional matchup data.

Nobody expects it to be 50:50 matchups across the board, and there will most likely be a few scattered 70:30s somewhere, but this is why tournaments are required.

The characters do not play as foreignly as Brawl+. bBrawl stays true to the roots of their playstyles.

 

[stefanie]

While the reasons for you guys not wanting to commit to bBrawl are valid, I think the intent is great, and from what I see it looks like a possible improvement over vBrawl. I really think you should go with alan's suggestion this friday.

 

[PND]

What about bBrawl *next* Friday? 'Cuz then I'll be in Ottawa. *Gasp*

That's right, I've been talking about it since before Havoc, but I'll actually be in Ottawa next week and would like to see ya guys.

 

[Linkshot]

I can bring it then, too Don't worry.

I can also bring Wisp, Peachel Toadstoolard, Triforce of Power, and Chaos Sonic.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Well, whatever it winds up being works for me. Just as long as it's sorted out or something beforehand. Oh, and Mike, you've got the green light on things on my end for when you come down next week.

 

[Linkshot]

Yaaaaaay support. Thanks stef~ You're a great gal.

 

[Fogel]

I'm willing to try out bBrawl this biweekly. The download link seems swamped though; I can't get it to try it out :/ Do you know if anyone else is hosting it somewhere?

 

[Linkshot]

You only need one SD Card per tournament. I just have to download Stack Smash first, then pop it in, use the exploit, and it's loaded until the Wii resets/turns off.

EDIT: Downloading the BalancedBrawl.zip (or whichever sounds closest, but is .zip, and not Gecko), and unzipping directly to an SD Card will have it all set up for you immediately.

 

[Pho]

I'm moving to Ottawa early Monday morning. I'm so excited to be apart of a new scene!

Edit: @SoLn: I'm moving from Guelph and going to Carleton for math.
@Linkshot: Sorry, kinda got excited after packing a little bit tonight.

 

[SoLn]

Where are you moving from out of curiosity? And welcome to the Ottawa smash community!

 

[Linkshot]

Early welcome, Pho!

Use the casual thread for this kind of thing though, please :3

OK, cool. One thing though, according to the link in your sig, you have to delete all of your custom stages to load bBrawl. Is that true? If so, I'd like to keep some of my custom stages, so I want to back them up first. I do have my own SD card which I could use for this.

Welcome!

 

[Linkshot]

I believe there's a file somewhere that actually disables your custom stages to make Stack Smash work (Stack Smash acts as a stage to exploit loading Gecko, I believe). You might have to search around.

Alternatively, you can port them to your SD Card instead. I will search myself, for your convenience, and edit this post if I find it.

Here's the code to disable custom stages:

046B841C 48000040

I haven't found a file yet, but at least I have the code.

Thank you, but I don't know what to do with this code :/ I'll back up my stages anyways just in case.

 

[CHAOSvsORDER]

So is there dbls or PhallusBrawl?

Also, sign me up.

 

[The_Jiggernaut]

Alright then, sign me up! I look forward to this biweekly. :D

I vote for balcanced brawl, because I'd really like to try it out. Plus I know thinkaman from the boards.

Spoiler

and my doubles partner is away...

Also, Welcome to Ottawa, Pho. :D Wait, you're taking Math at Carleton? I'm taking Math (and Physics) at Carleton! What year will you be in? (the right answer is second year)

 

[Linkshot]

Yeah, Thinkaman and AA are very awesome people. I talk to them on a daily basis. They're very professional and have really put a lot of time into this.

 

[buenob]

lol you guys are in math? i did two years of math too lol... math ftw!

im gonna try to get friday off work to come to this, but it seems doubtful

 

[PND]

Well, Jiggernaut and I know Thinkaman because he's currently the top Jiggs right now

 

[Linkshot]

Ah, that's right. He's a Jiggs main. I know AA because he's basically leader of liberal stage lists XDD

And he's a competitive Pokemon battler (I think)

 

[CHAOSvsORDER]

^^Amazing Ampharos? Of course he plays. He tried to make every pokemon 'viable' in his mod server, which kinda fails imo.

When

gets owned by

there is something wrong with the metagame.

Anyways, while I am against phallusbrawl, I dislike doubles enough to vote for the phallus.

 

[Thinkaman]

What's up Canada?

 

[PND]

<3 Thinkaman. I suppose if we say your name enough times in one topic it'll summon you, sort of like Beetlejuice or Bloody Mary.

 

[Linkshot]

:O My fortresshighrise of solitude has been spotted!

Preparing to evacuate the area.

Except I'm too lazy.

Spoiler

Also <3 Thinkaman

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

Actually, that mod server didn't attempt to balance ubers and just considered them a non-part of the metagame. So no, Mewtwo was not owned by Dunsparce.

Also, hi Ottawa.

 

[Fogel]

Matt07, are you coming to this biweekly? If so, do you know how to get to my place? I don't remember if I PMed you/you PMed me already or not.

 

[SoLn]

Hi to you :D

 

[Linkshot]

I have the stage list all written up on paper.

If there are unanimous "wtf bans", things will be reworked.

Spoiler

Hi Amphy <3

 

[CHAOSvsORDER]

[Linkshot]

Yes. Give me a minute. Will edit this post.

Happy Brawling! (Character Changes are in the second post in mah siggy)

 

[LivewiresXe]

Well, I think most people know anyway, but just letting it be known that in a disappointing (but sadly unsurprising) happening, the Ministry of Transpo's taking their sweet time getting back to me about my driver's license so it looks like I won't have it back to get over there tomorrow. However, if something's going down next week when Mike's in the area, then you can bet I'll make it to that. Better late than never on my part, I s'pose.

 

[Wak]

Is Ottawa still playing, you know, the old fashioned Brawl? Any weekly or tourney soon? ..I don't feel like going through this thread to know =|.

We're 4 players in Gatineau, including me, who would like to get more into it's competition. And we'd like to participate to some of the events, or play any decent player from Ottawa.

I know it was hella fun playing Buenob and Arsenic I don't exactly remember when it happened though XD.

 

[Linkshot]

bBrawl is only replacing Doubles this biweekly, to test it in a competitive environment.

Oh, right.

$2 ENTRY FEE. 60/30/10 PAYOUTS


bBrawl will only continue to show up [in Ottawa] competitively if it is deemed to be wanted after this.

 

[infomon]

gloves off, it's trollin' time!

lol wot's this, linkshot takes over ottawa
like we were all just chillin' in smashville and then suddenly the "SPEED UP!" sign from Rumble Falls shows up and we all die

Movement does not cause tripping.
Forced contact with wall is always techable. (no infinites!)

Does this actually prevent infinites? like is it possible for D3 to have a grab hitbox out while you're still doing the wall-tech? that would be

Tripping forces tripped players to stand up.

Doesn't this allow for more infinites?

Aerial Footstooling causes victim to land upright.
(...)
Ground releases 25% faster
Air releases 40% faster

Why?
like is this what limits the ice climbers, or is there another reason to make footstools/grabs less useful?

Sonic's pummels+grabs are one of his best ways to wrack damage
even if his spring spikes nao lolol

Hanenbow <unselectable>

wot

If a tripping attack hits you while you're already tripped, instead of tripping again, you stand up without lag.

Flopping faster prevent jab locks.
You can walltechjump, which give invincibility.
And I need to clarify. The VICTIM regains control that much faster after being released. (to prevent abuse on Ness, Lucas, Wario.)
You can footstool a grounded character to lag them.

These were all changed to remove infinites.

Furthermore, D3's dThrow sends everybody into a techchase.
