OH are we talking about tags? >.< yayayayay
Well I got mine from my everlasting love of the Pillsburydoughboy, and dope (Discrete optimized protein energy, not the narcotic guys >.>). So I became Pillsburydopeboy.
Different thread, there's one specifically about usernames, unless you also use your username in tournaments.

Kero Sewers are weird because half the warp pipes go to the same areas. I've gotten use to it after playing through it more than 50 times.
Y'know speaking of Mario RPGs I need to get that game, and finish Super Paper Mario, I'm adoring the story so far.

P:M is DK is good i saw o-o a few of them on stream.
i played a particularly hilarious match with SB on saturday that was DK vs sheik on YS that was legitimately 7 combos that were 0-death.

DK's death combos are hilariously brutal lmao

Did it have to do with Zoids though like your avatar? Did you play Zoids: Battle Legends on Gamecube like I did? Feline robots is the kind of thing PM needs, or a cougar.
Nah. I was into swords in like 2001 (Trunks from DBZ, Ryudo from Grandia II just to name a couple influences) and I needed to think of a gamer tag for Melee's tag system. I was interested in playing the game pretty badly as my friend had just got it so that came up off the top of my head.

I didn't play Zoids: Battle Legends on Gamecube. I have played it recently last year though as my girlfriend has it. Pretty cool. My avatar comes from Zoids because it's just a part of my system to make my name unique for registering for games and forums and because I like speedy characters. That's why I have "-Fox" on my name because when I registered, I played Fox (again, not a lot of thought went into it back then) and Blade was taken.

ohhhhh name time?

Well Soft Serve came about pretty lamely tbh. I just started getting my friends into competitive smash after I'd been following melee since I was like 8. I managed to convince my high school to let us have a smash club/festival thing for the whole last week of school before winter break (our school was weird). Everyone else already had tags they wanted to use from steam/XBL/whatever, and I didn't really have anything notable that I actually cared about. I was about to enter as FroYo because I just had some previously, when my girlfriend came up and said "eww I hate frozen yogurt, don't pick that one." I went with Soft Serve and have used it here on smashboards ever since. In most other places (lol, skype, maplestory, DFO before nexon was a huge **** and shut it down in america) I use the tag S0ftie, mostly because I'm pretty much a big softie and a pushover. Its kinda awkward because at the time I forgot that S0ft was a really good player from Georgia, so sometimes I still have to explain that I'm not s0ft and just some scrub from AZ when I get into twitch chats.

I really wish I could recover my SWF account from like 2003 though. It was probably named like "xxPh3oniXMarthFir3xx" or something, but That join date, oh god what I would do to get that back.

Some of these stories are pretty deep and meaningful, I just used the first suggestion on a username generator :/

Will definitely be changing as soon as I think of a new one

could take a few years

Sup, I went to Apex and played against a lot of people, idk how many of them go here(besides JCaesar) but I wanted to keep in contact since I met a lot of nice people, I can't remember all of the names so if I don't recognize you I apologize in advance, also, if anyone knows where to see the other project M streams that were playing at Apex I'd like to watch them, I was on one random laptop stream for a while, and I was also on a stream with Jcaesar at some point

I know this is off-topic, but I really wanted aMSa and Axe to make it to Top 8.

I'm also surprised that Taj only entered in PM and not Melee.

Name origins? Ok.

My last name is Burns, and since little league my competition/sports nickname has been "Burnsy", so I decided to stick with what I was already comfortable with. It's pretty simple, but still unique, and I knew it wasn't a tag I'd come to regret, so I thought I might as well. It's also keeping with tradition, as my dad's nickname/tag growing up was Burny/Burnie.

me and taj had a long talk about mewtwo and how he's like mid-low tier and how none of his edits really solve his major issues, they just mask them. the man really just knows his stuff.

There's a long autistic story behind mine, because I put way too much thought into this sort of thing, lol.
I used to be really into MGS, so I used SixGunOcelot for a while since RevolverOcelot was usually taken
Later I went through a phase where I wanted to have my real name in my tags, so I ditched the overt MGS refference for CamSix
After a while I got tired of that tag, so I thought for a while about what made a good tag. I decided: 2-3 sylables, composed of familiar or unassuming words that can be interpreted in multiple ways and are easily memorable, while having some subtle but concrete relation to your own personal identity.
I chose SeeSaw: "See" being homophonic with "C", the first letter of my name, and "Saw" because I was learning to play the musical saw at the time. Together they have additional meaning in forming the phrase "see-saw", like the playground fixture, so it has that added playful quality just so much to occasionally make people salty when they lose, without being over the top.
SixSaw is an alternate I use when SeeSaw is taken, as a reference to my earlier tags (and I guess you could pronounce "Six" like "See" if you were French or something) while preserving the SS initials.
Yeah.

way too much thought
^Yeah, pretty much, lol. I can't really see myself being salty about losing to any given gamer tag for any reason. ;)


Anyways, is there a PM stage viability thread? Cause I play with a guy (not going to name him, but he'll read this anyway) who seems to think Frigate Orpheon, Delphino Plaza, and Halberd are ok. I imagine ex-Brawlers and ex-Melee-ers will have different stances, but personally I think both are pretty bull**** (less so with Halberd, but still).

I really don't get the big hate on Orpheon. Personally I don't see why a flip ruins the entire stage for everyone, I mean just make the stage have ledges on the platform that rises and descends, and possibly make the flip not able to KO you.

You named the exact reasons why Orpheon sucks.

edit: OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also, I added Delphino to my post. Thoughts?

@Umbreon: I think M2 is a perfectly healthy mid tier, which is pretty solid in this game actually. He placed pretty high at this admittedly young PM tournament, but there's a lot of characters that are just like M2 in this game. He, Roy, Ike and a bunch of characters are nearly perfectly balanced, imo.

M2K and KDJ I felt played sharper Project M Mewtwo's than he did, so as much as I like Taj, I would like him to experiment more with the character in this game that he "doesn't even play lol" like he was saying during the tournament before I personally take his opinions with much more than a grain of salt.

That being said, I've read some of the discussion he's had with some of the other members of the PMBR and he does bring up some valid points.

I can't really say for Delfino, but personally I think it's fine as long as you the sequences when it lands. Also, I totally disagree with Halberd being a good stage, just those damn hazards man...

Guys, what do you think about a P:M Terminology thread for naming combos, strategies etc. I think it might be a good idea but I'm too lazy to sort the thread and edit the best ideas to the original post. Maybe someone of you wants to take that responsibility and start such a thread :D

Yeah that's pretty much my thought on Halberd too.

Not sure what you mean about Delphino...? But I think it has WAY too many problems. The curved beach. The curved golden roof. Water in two transformations. Nobody is going to approach on the green pillars, giving projectile characters free harassment (not to mention Ivysaur healing). Walk off edges on the cafe transformation.

Sorry, meant to add to that. Basically I meant, to remove the sequences when the stage lands in the various areas.
