edit: @Infzy: Since you are going to Not Genesis, should I bring your TV down?
Ehhhhh..... I don't know how I'd get it home after. I'm actually thinking of greyhounding to the tourney carrying a smaller tv, but that's gonna suck, and I haven't had a chance to look up the bus stuff yet to see if that even makes any sense.... so that prolly won't happen tbh... but if that can't happen then getting my bigger tv from you prolly won't work either.... idk yet

so I'll get back to you? lol

Poor Moses D:

Hopefully he won't continue acting this way if/when he comes back. I totally respected his past self.

EDIT: FFFFFFFFFFFF posted 2 seconds two late.
this post is so much more epic after that lolzy-moses post

Sorry Moses, but all the improvement in the world cannot make you perfect. It's called the Duke Nukem Forever syndrome. Indeed, next bi-weekly it will be me that'll win as I've already planned the whole thing out:
Opponent - opponent's weakness

Ben - Meta-tornados
Randy - Meta-tornados
Wilman - Meta-forward tilts
Orlando - Meta-tornados
Moses - Meta-tornados
Alan - Meta-down smash
Ariel - Lucas
Cameron - Meta-tornados
Tyler - Meta-tornados
Jiggernaut - Lucas
Everybody else - Meta-tornados

// Oi, so is anybody interested in going to Patrick's place for the Smashfest? It's gotta be full-house (6 people) or nothing! I'm in if I can get others to come along.
Ah, Crap, you got me... I was hoping you'd just pick MK again and get owned by Jiggs. :) We'll see what I can do about your Lucas, though.

I will find ways around your tornado, especially since Marth has alot of options against it. Ill also go if there is a full house. So thats potentially 2? 3? Since Ariel might be coming as well?

Once upon a time, not too long ago, Patrick asked me an innocent question: "So, how do I get better?"

My answer, of course, was that I had no idea since if I did I'd be tons better than I am now (although I think I suggested Meta Knight as a booster...). However, that got me to think about what it is that winners have that losers do not. Is is better reflexes? Sirlin time-stop powers? Knowledge of the small, subtle values in the game? Just generally high appreciation for the game itself?

My searching has come up with a possible answer: Non-gaming INTELLIGENCE! That's right, the key to winning must be not being a total idiot at life! Clearly! How could it have taken so long for me figure it all out!?

Well, now then, as a good little scientist I'd like to test this theory out which is why I'm proposing...

// *********************************************
HAROLD'S IQ/BRAWL ABILITIES EXPERIMENT!
// *********************************************

Here's what you have to do:

Step 1: Go here and finish the IQ "test". Yes, 15 or so questions are enough to completely, without error, determine your overall intelligence in all manners of life. It'll only take about five minutes at most (although maybe I shouldn't have rushed it so much...)

Step 2: Either post or, preferably, PM me with your results. A link to your results screen would be nice. After I get enough (all) results, I'll plot some fancy table that'll prove/disprove once and for all that intelligence is the key to winning at Brawl.

Step 3: Pour over how amazing I am since I'll have then a) discovered what makes some of us better at Brawl than others and b) encouraged all of you to do well in school.

One last thing, please don't cheat. As in, don't take the test twice and don't use any outside tools (calc, paper, etc.). You're only allowed to use your mind. Please have results as soon as you can. Remember it only takes about seven or so minutes. Oh, and don't feel bad if you get a poor score. Mine wasn't... well... :embarrass

--Edited out, because it sounded too elitist--

Free IQ tests are usually pretty sketchy, though, but I might take it once I have some time and forward it to you, Harold.

If you guys are going then I guess I might go. Alan probably will too. Maybe. However, have either of you guys ever been there? It's impossible to find. It's like the lost woods. I almost turned into a stalspic from all the wandering around.

Also, Harold, my hypothesis is that the best players are able to read you and thus respond accordingly.

Also, you're Lucas can't get past my D3. And your meta also has trouble with D3. You know that *I* know how to get passed your tornado as D3.

So, I think Patrick is holding it on Saturday, right? I'm confident I know the way, so I can meet everybody that's coming at Hurdman before heading to his dad's. How's that work out?

I don't know the bus route; just the street route. But Hurdman is right outside my place and that's obviously always my starting point.

Let's set a time that we'll all stop waiting and people that come later than that are on their own, okay?

How late will it be going? I'd say about 6-6:30 would be the latest I, personally, am willing to wait. But if enough other people are willing to wait longer, I'll go along with that.

With Alan acting as a Navi, I could go. Also Patrick, are those other people any good or scrubs?

EDIT: Harold, I'm not doing that shady IQ test. It's garbage. Anyone who compltetes it has an IQ of -1000 because all it is is ads. That's it. I can't trust the results of soemthing that won't let me continue until I sign up to an ad.

lol, that was a really easy IQ test... scored 135 on it, though that's actually below my IQ (i have done more thorough testing before)... IQ is also not a very good test of intelligence, there's a reason it stopped being a legitimate evaluation tool...

edit: -> get firefox and linux, popups don't know wtf to do :) I had no problems at all with the site lol

also, i think that the test is fundamentally flawed... since there is no test of the opposite (being good at smash -> high IQ, bad at smash ->low IQ) there really can't be a conclusive result, since that would mean there are other ways at being good at smash

Yeah, just because you get told you have like the highest IQ of a group of people or whatever, doesn't mean you have better mindgames or strategy or intelligence than they all do. *resists urge to go on rant about mostly unrelated to smash topic where this implies that Mike may know what it's about already*

C'mon kids, just take the da mn quiz. It's mostly for kicks so humour me here. Ariel, you really must have an IQ of -1000 if ads are bothering you. Get Firefox or get out.

So far we have:

Orlando - 145
Alan - 137
Ben - 135
Harold - 123

Don't be shy kids. We can't all be genius', I know (let's ignore my rushed score...). Be a man and take the quiz!

OK, at this point, both Cbone and Phrozn have dropped out, so we don't have a place to stay in Oshawa. Therefore, I am going to stick with the original plan of heading to Mike's place in Niagara. Also, I have two more spots in the car now.

The plan is to leave tomorrow morning at 9am sharp; I do not want to get stuck in Toronto rush hour traffic in a standard car. There are two more spots left, post ASAP if you want in and can get to my house in time (as in, BEFORE 9am). I'll check this thread before I go to sleep at about 10:30PM or so. Preference will be given to Bryant/Orlando/Randy since they asked first, but if they don't want it, you've got the spot.

Ben: Sorry, but I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so free coffee doesn't entice me :) My house is really close to the 416, so I would really prefer if everyone gathers at my place ahead of time.

@Harold/Ben- The whole ads of "GET YOUR SCORE AFTER YOU SIGN UP TO RANDOM CRAP" bothered me. I kept pressing pass until it wouldn't let me pass anymore and after that I rage quit from the IQ test.

@Patrick- where'd you get the virus from? Also, system restore is probably your best friend right now.

@Orlando- I don't want my post to be too short so I shall use this space to say that I think you are an unpleasant individual and that I shall defeat you at cok blokus, should the opportunity ever arise.

EDIT: Like I said, I just wanted to fill my post with something. I have realized now that I violated my promise of not making a ******** post for a short while. ****. Also, if we meet at Patrick's I challenge you to a money match!

EDIT2: I am quite sure I've said this before, but why is da mn censored? >_>

Anyhow, that MM is Bo5 and in stamina mode! We'll be doing Super Street Bros Brawl Turbo.

Ariel: His computer won't even stay on. That's how severe the virus is.
Not even long enough to reach Mr. Control Panel? How did you even get that virus? Deepthroating hippos or something like wtf man.
(How have I not been infracted yet?)

Unpleasant in what way? I also make it a habit of not trying to **** block people so you probably would beat me.

I reluctantly did the IQ test. Some of the questions were weird.

Guys... i got a virus on my laptop and its gonna cost 500$ about to take off the virus and to get my files back.
Data recovery should not be costing $500, in my books

"removing virus" might involve lolz

the vast majority of virii are just on your harddrive... so all someone has to do is put your drive into another system or a drive enclosure, copy off all the data, wipe the drive and put it back in and reinstall windows or whatever

I strongly recommend you just format/reinstall rather than try and remove the virus while keeping the system intact somehow

I suspect you care about your data, but mostly for stuff that isn't hard to "disinfect" like movies, mp3s, text files

hmmmm now that I think about it, $500 is a reasonable upper-bound :urg: cuz some of this could be tedious

but if all you want is your lappy to work again, just pop the drive in a friend's drive enclosure, remove anything you care for and format it, reinstall.... shouldn't be a big deal.

Edit: Fogel, again my pad in waterloo's available for crashing friday or saturday nights... just fyi; but I'll assume PND's got this.

I just called him. . . he's still deciding if its financially viable for him. I'm sure he'll be in touch if he's going.

4:30 sounds like the earliest we'll be meeting. There's food somewhat out of the way, and most likely some small joints along the way if people get hungry.


EDIT: WTF! All 4 characters I use at my "highest" levels of play are bunched right together @.@
