I don't know much about norcal PM, but Socal PM is the biggest drama fest on FB. Like my god its just Egos ramming heads together 24/7, its ridiculous. Cali PM just like that I guess

And this is why I'm partially glad I'm not in it at all.

I may be in one of the biggest smash states of all time but my town just happens to be the quiet child out of the bunch.

also it's weak as **** considering I think I'm near the top of players here and I'm not even good.

 

[MechWarriorNY]

Cali gaming is like that in general. i.e. a fair amount of the FGC members there.
(though obviously it's not across the board)
I'm not even using stereotypes.

When I watch Hamyojo play, he tends to approach with a lot of Fair's into Up tilt or just fairs in general. Is that generally a good option for yoshi or is that just his own preference, cause the way I use it right now is kind of like DK's Fair, so not as an approach.

Probably because of the massive reward on hit in positioning advantage or combo opportunity. Nair is generally a safer option, though with Yoshi's air speed, almost any aerial can be safe if spaced right. Bair's become a favorite spacing tool of mine, but that's mostly because of playing a lot of Smash 4 lately.

I'm not master with Yoshi by any stretch, but I know how it feels to not have a question answered, so there.

@ PMS | Tink-er
Lol my critiques instead of finishing work, oops:
- Your IC's look really fresh out of the box. The wavedashes are slick but other than that it's kinda eh.
- Shield more.
- You may want to play a different character for a few to get used to the game. I'm not sure if you've played Melee for any amount of time but it seemed like you were having trouble edgeguarding Fox and other basics. You may have skipped this stuff, idk?
- Yeah, I'd just advise you to play vs. someone good with an easier character to play for a bit. Luigi might be a decent pickup due to the similar tractions, bad recovery, but overall gets punished less than IC's.

I only get to play melee and PM against other people at our biweekly, so it's not that I can't control my character or combo so much as it is that I just suck because I'm inexperienced. I'm looking more for concepts and ideas I can meditate on and try out when I get the chance to play other people. If you (or anyone) could point out some instances of my bad habits, how/when I was getting baited, and options I was over reliant upon or underusing/not taking advantage of, I would much appreciate it.

Also I can't stand characters with 4 frame jumpsquats.

ETA: Shield more in which situations? In anticipation of what?

He's right.

I know people that could put Leffen's Ego's to shame despite not even being good at smash, games, or even life in general.

But at least they're good at Weiß Schwarz.

 

[Blazing Ambition]

Ok people.
It's confession time...
The truth is...

I only mained Falcon because I thought he was the most fun to play...
In turbo mode.

rip street cred

 

[Saito]

I'd say all night cram fest hype, but it's not since I already prepared for this one.

I had intended to review earlier but smashboards and housework and what not so all night review fest.

I wish anyone else luck on their finals if they have them today.

 

[Deleted member]

I want to see @Sethlon and @Lunchables Sonic ditto one time in tournament; Sethlon used to playtest Sonic and Lunchables has said that he enjoys playing the character so I think it would be a pretty intense match! :D

We actually do have 1 Sonic ditto match in tournament!

It's just on... pictochat... https://youtu.be/PBqnEfXH8cM?t=442

btw I really like 3.5 sonic, I'd play him in tourney if he covered needed MUs

 

[Leafeon]

we could talk this over in person but imo its more fun when other people can join in.

Luigi makes me more salty than Roy does.

 

[Deleted member]

Luigi makes me more salty than Roy does.

luigi is a lot less straight forward than roy is with his ability to look really volatile if you're sloppy about micro-managing his options. roy you usually have to be very clean about how you play since his combo weight is atrocious and he cant reverse momentum on you at any given point, whereas luigi is like half his conversions involve the opponent going for combos that dont actually work which is just hella rage inducing. i can see it going both ways but at top level luigi is still volatile but somewhat more manageable since he has a harder time "getting you" in the face of good counter-play.

Can't judge with that darn avatar constantly shrugging it off!

but seriously stamina 3 is where it's at. Haven't touched turbo since receiving that blessing of a smash mini game.

Git gud and bike ride there.

Idk, bike riding hype. I own a mountain bike though so I'll be losing a lot of power over long distances.

 

[Shadic]

mkds was good on a mid-level, actually pretty awful when you get to a high level, simply because a portable console doesn't lend itself well to enduring techskill for long periods of time like a gamecube controller

MK8 200cc > MKWii on a high-end level > MKDS on a high-end level > MK8 150cc > the other ones > a noticeably loud fart in a small room > MK64

Did you seriously just call MK Wii (OP Item Roulette) better at a high level than MKDS?

Get out.

Finally finished reviewing.

It's 40 degrees in this room now, I haven't ate, got bags under my eyes, my hair is messy and I'm ready to **** **** up.

Have something cute in the meantime.

i just want a good ****ing mmorpg to come out

dragon nest was good but nexon ****ing ruined that bull****

wow was good but i basically played it for crane stance monk and that is **** once you hit 100 so im done with that

final fantasy seems fun but i dont like the leveling system of it

im just gonna hibernate till overwatch comes out i guess

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Play Wildstar, it's the closest thing to a "good" MMO as you're gonna get.

...though I probably wouldn't be playing that if it weren't for my fiancee making the game so enjoyable for me. Still, the core gameplay itself isn't bad.

Smooth Criminal

 

[steelguttey]

isnt that game like, 90% ranged characters?

what about guild wars, is that still good? i remember liking how guardian looked

 

[Smooth Criminal]

You got Warrior, Stalker (Rogue-like), and (arguably) Esper (caster-like)---those classes can melee. The rest of them are ranged, yes. The combat's very interactive, though. You have to stay on your toes and pay attention to not standing in hostile telegraphs ("don't stand in the fire!"), otherwise you will die. PvE is actually pretty damn challenging (coordinating CC is a thing), PvP is a blast (iffy on overall balance, however, but what MMO isn't), player housing is baller, endgame content is pretty varied and extensive...

I can give you a ten day pass if you like, @ steelguttey . Give it a shot. It's not very restrictive like most trials iirc, either.

And lol, don't bother with Guild Wars 2. It's a waste of time. About the only thing that has going for it is the fact that you have to pay once and that's it. The rest of the game is a freaking snoozefest still.

characters functioning on the "this button is your nuke, this button is your cc, this button is your shield" paradigm don't need any buffs, they need to be removed from the game

 

[Lizalfos]

What if there was an RPS MMO. That would be funny.

I'm going to create the world's first MMORPS

Well Bleck, you might as well snuff WoW out then. Something I'd be okay with, granted, but this is exactly what the game's become. Perhaps even moreso than the rest of its counterparts on the market.

I did my undergrad at UCLA. I can confirm, cali folks seem to have a penchant towards a bit of narcissism and egotism. Not all, of course, I've met far more kind and caring people in cali than the opposite. There's a streak of materialism and self-aggrandization that seems to run through the culture there, however(especially LA). But those who have a sense of dedication to something(games, sports, etc) tend to be more likely to have a higher opinion of themselves regardless of region, perhaps because it's how they find validation: if you're not good at what you pursue, then why do you call yourself a gamer/athlete/whatever in the first place? Something like that, maybe.

I didn't sleep last night and the world looks kinda hazy. My roommates sound kinda...far-away-ish and my brain has decided to start thinking in code intermittently. Looks like C? I've got a sexy-looking bottle of crown royal on my bookshelf that a few students bought for me and it looks mighty tempting, but adding alcohol into this is probably a bad idea. So I'm probably just gonna lie here in a feverish haze and think about life and stuff and wait for exhaustion to take me. I think I actually do have a fever, yay.
Actually, playing PM like this might be kinda hilarious.

lol what's wrong with the levelling system
it's a themepark mmo as far as levelling goes, you don't really even have to think about levelling up when you're really into the game.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Liking the post for truth, hun.

Or truisms, anyways. I know how you feel.

@ Leafeon

The most efficient way to level in ARR is to run around and grind public events. You're literally just grouping up and zerging all the freaking time in order to get anything done, plus maybe the odd dungeon, and then on to the next zone. Regular questing is tedious and not fun.

Smooth Criminal

It's been changed since then. FATEs are not the most optimal way of levelling-- dungeons are. You get a full level or very close to it for a single dungeon at your level, and then there's the low level roulette dungeon which gives you 70% ish of your experience in one low level dungeon. ARR is almost over, how long has it been since you played? It sounds like you haven't touched the game in over 8 months.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Fairly recently (couple months ago?). Admittedly I didn't dig too deeply then, but when I played at launch + a little ways beyond, that's how it went. It was sooooooo boring.

If I'm wrong about the current trends in ARR (looks like I am) then my bad.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Leafeon]

You are. lol
My word on FFXIV is trustworthy.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

You are. lol

Thanks for being so frank, you little ****. :v

Still though, nothing beats The Secret World's old cluster**** of a leveling system. Repeating quests like dailies over and over again, leveling up just so you could re-spec? Yeah no thanks. Loved the premise of the game, but the execution was horrid.

Smooth Criminal

Nothing to apologize for! It was a lighthearted statement, promise. Hence the face.

so I went to a small party awhile ago and got drunk and danced like an idiot and somebody made a gif of it why

i'm the one in the blue and white hawaiian shirt

I know this is really late to reply to this, but your dancing does match your name. Your dancing looks like a magikarp flopping

 

[Warchamp7]

...is that actually the reason? I thought it was because the Smash games have E/E10+/T ratings.

you can't be serious

I thought the made it clear how serious I was
