Ottawa Ontario Canada HD Remix

[Linkshot]

I've never played Squash. How similar is it to tennis and will I be forced to play by strict scoring rules?

>.>;
<.<;

 

[flash7]

They both require you to hit a ball with a racket within some boundaries, scoring is similar (cant bounce on the floor twice). But thats about it, check out some youtube vids to see what the courts are like. Note the racket is different from a tennis one.

What do you mean by strict scoring rules?

 

[Linkshot]

<.<; Usually when I play tennis, I just try to rally, etc. I don't keep track of score because I have a hard time serving properly. I usually play tennis against my dad and he's pretty good x.x

 

[flash7]

We tend to keep score for motivation and so we know when to switch opponents up since there are usually 4 of us. You're aim should be more than rallying, it should be to score a point .

 

[Linkshot]

Heheh, well, it's not like I just hit it randomly. I do try to play tennis as it should be played, I just don't keep score and every game I serve would be given to the opponent because of double faults XD

I'm going to this Throw Down thing. Anybody care to come along? It's $35 at the door for a ticket and it's at 6pm.

 

[flash7]

Not really a fan of it, especially at that price.

 

[arsenic41]

just sounds like a fight club to me

 

[infomon]

pff, down throws are only useful for combo'ing.

Except for like, Charizard, and maybe Lucas?

 

[IvanEva]

And Squirtle. Besides, this is to cure cancer. Seriously. Like, did you know that Polio was only really taken care of when Mike Tyson bit Hollyfield. It's true. Fighting makes good things happen. For example, can you think of a time when you've been sick since you started playing Brawl as much as you do now? No? That's because even video game battles are good for your health.

That being said, I strongly recommend for people to come along and watch what real fighting looks like. It'll make video game fighting that much more entertaining (since real fighting can be pretty... lacking sometimes...).

 

[PND]

I might go. Depends on work :s *grumble*

I'm a huge MMA buff, I love stuff like this.

 

[buenob]

lol, go check out "the icemen" on youtube...

it's my bro in a comedy figureskating troupe... 15 guys raising money to save boobs from breast cancer (only 2 of them are gay lol)

there are many ways to raise money for cancer... most of them don't involve 2 men engaging in semi-erotic semi-naked dancing *I know that's not what it is but i'm just poking fun... just not that interested*

As much as it hurts to say it, the original thread should be put down. 95% of people who created and supported that thread are gone now, so it's only right to let it die in peace. Keep it to this thread for general chat aka squash chat by the looks of it, one for the bi-weekly event, and maybe another one for a tier list (See my megaman idea I posted in the bi-weekly one =D =D )

 

[eternalgamer]

Very true Locke. The HD Remix should be the new Ottawa Thread.

 

[IvanEva]

In a last ditch effort to convince people to come to Throw Down with me, this is basically what you can expect. Seriously, that's what Muai Thai fights look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeQ96EZfYuE

Locke /\: Another thread for the power rankings may be excessive. It's so closely tied in with the bi-weeklies that it's better off staying there. Sucks that you didn't make it for the bi-weeklies as I still haven't forgotten our money match dealie.

 

[arsenic41]

I'm not willing to pay 35 bucks to see two guys camping with firebrawls

 

[Suo]

Harold I'm not sure if I can make it to your place this wednesday, I have an interview at 3:30, but if I can, I'll probably show up at 5:30 or so.

 

[jan]

The other day I tried to pull a Randy... by which I mean that I jacked a TV that somebody left of the side of road the night before garbage day and brought it home. Unfortunately, I didn't have the tech skills or mind games to get it working.

The new thread is pretty cool, but it would be cooler if Goblin made a banner for this one, too.

Anyway, I'll be going to Harold's on Wednesday in the morning, and probably leaving in the early afternoon. Also, you can add me to the list of players in the first post, Harold.

 

[flash7]

Argghh Itll probably take a while to get used to those weird 3d models.

Id go if the fighting was like this (**** starts at 2:57)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7YSOiR28cA












Also the greatest fox play ever recorded ^

Probably wont make it tomorrow, ill let you know tomorrow.

 

[Fogel]

You can put me down in the smasher list. Also, in the first post, you forgot to mention the regular smashfest happening this Friday.

 

[Jazriel]

Boom shaka laka! Harold, I'm down for going to your place tomorrow, PM me directions tonight and stuffs.

 

[buenob]

yeah throw me in for the reg smashers too

ps. randy was just here and we went 50-50 wario vs. rob... what a beast... I think I'm getting the hang of it though mind you, same thing goes for him against me

 

[arsenic41]

GG's ben, you analyze play styles and adapt at a speed which scares Jaded melee pro's when brawl became popular, oh and me.

but I have to say, we were evenly matched today, lets see what happens the next time we meet

I will try my best to show up tomorrow, have some pre assignment work that I have to do, so I havve to either finish that today and show up tomorrow.

 

[IvanEva]

Jan: I'm going to make a banner but my free time is being spent on making a resume and working on Marvin.... and playing lots of games...

Jazriel: Check the front page for my address. I don't mind posting it.

 

[Linkshot]

Oh, right. Ben, when we went over to your place last week, my dad tried to get the apartment number by asking somebody on your floor "where the nerdiest people live". I think they pointed him in the right direction; there were just too many options (doors).

 

[flash7]

^lol wtf.

Also any more Squash Participants? Andrew? I believe Randy said he was good to go so you can add him to the list Harold.

 

[arsenic41]

Insonmia ftw...

so yeah, just to confirm, I will be showing up today, but expcet me very tired.

 

[flash7]

No johns kthx.

 

[eternalgamer]

When is the squash?

 

[flash7]

Saturday at 1 pm. Squash now appears on the front page as well.
I wont be making it out today, have fun.

 

[eternalgamer]

I won't be able to make it to this Squashfest. I'm hosting something at my place all day that day. If only it was on Sunday.

 

[joblin]

Hi this is eternalgamer. Create another one because my account was screwing up.

 

[flash7]

We'll see what brings out more people. I believe Harold told me that Mike was good with Sunday so if he cant make Saturday then we will make it Sunday since the discount would be nice.

 

[joblin]

True, I'd surely like the discount and if it's on Sunday I get to play!

 

[infomon]

IvanEva: Is there room for me to join in some Brawling, today? I could bring a wii and/or tv if there's space?

 

[buenob]

i'll be away in T. this weekend so no squash for me

and I get off class at 7pm... i'll give randy a call at that time and if there's still stuff going on at harolds I may make the treck

 

[flash7]

IvanEva: Is there room for me to join in some Brawling, today? I could bring a wii and/or tv if there's space?

Theres probably room for you although theres no room for another tv/brawl unless they move a computer. If you go youll understand.

 

[Jazriel]

Sorry Harold, couldn't make it today. I'll see you guys on Friday, or if you want we could try some Wi-Fi for the lulz.

 

[Linkshot]

Great matches today guys. Man, I had a lot of pizza XD
