Smashville is the new FD

Smashville is bland to me.

I really like the stage, but the background and overall feel of the stage just makes it less chosen for me.

PK2 is the new FD. It's so neutral.

It's bland for me unfortunately.

Only reason it gets chosen so much by me is that it has all the good Pokemon songs.

 

[DMG]

I'm surprised Skyloft isn't banned more in rulesets. I think they should completely do away with one or both upper platforms. Adds nothing great to gameplay.

 

[SpiderMad]

Everyone on netplay chooses it, its so ****ing annoying

Yep, I wish some character had a special to create temporary platforms. I need to find some wilderness styled FD textures to make me like the stage again at all after facing those people.

that actually sounds like a cool idea.

But not as cool as slippy in P:M

I think I'm the only one that likes stages because of their backgrounds, music, and feel.

Like I love Final destination because it just looks amazing in the background and the music goes so well with it while fighting my opponent.

Smashville though?
It's bright...Colorful...and heartwarming. The background is an overview of a peaceful town. Music is peaceful as well. Sounds like a nice place to relax.

Fighting though? eh...Makes me really not want to choose it.

Final destination does not have any balloons. your opinion is now invalid

Balloons are top tier stagewise

 

[SpiderMad]

No! Where are you taking me!?!
To a barren wasteland in the far away cosmos: filled with only darkness, where we can see only each other for the end of all time.
Wait what! Not again!
..A place where the linear landscape and lack of constructive platforming diminishes the decade old meta-game to a simplified neutral game leading to direct maneuvers with repeated to death basic combos and chain-grabs.
No!!!!!

You know, you could just treat women like human beings instead of walking holes. Honestly, the current sex culture is one of the most disappointing, disgusting things about the modern world.

Lol I'm sorry I made everybody feel bad. I am indeed single, but that's more my own fault than anything. I need to actually make an effort to talk to girls to actually get to know them, after all.

Drop the bitter "society-is-so-unfair" victim mentality from your first paragraph and you're golden.

It's okay. Just take it one step at a time, Nguz. You're still young.

Anyway, as for meeting girls, as others have said smiling and waving are probably your best bets. You're not getting out of school tomorrow or the next day or even soon- you have plenty of time to meet her. Let the opportunity present itself and then work with it, and interact with her when you have the best chance. As long as you don't look creepy or actively try to stalk her I'm sure she will be flattered in some way. Even if you don't instantly get a date (which you shouldn't, friends first is -always- best), you will flatter her, and if she's not already taken and not a prick who only cares about appearances she will consider you. This is coming from a girl herself, guys.

If you want me to tell you how I met Sudai, I can, but I'm not like 90% of girls (especially most younger than me) so it's not gonna be a typical thing at all. I wouldn't recommend asking me, you might end up using this advice on the wrong girl (which would be most of them).

Hope I'm not busting your chops too much, Sapph, but every single piece of dating advice I've ever taken from girls (whether it be from female friends or my sisters) has rarely ever worked. I've had far more success emulating guys that were actually good with women, and then learning through experience over the years. It's just like I wouldn't give a girl advice on how to attract guys. I'd find a really sexy girl who charms every guy she meets to help that girl out.

The "friends-first" route is a noble gesture, but I've really only seen this work in bad romantic comedies. In reality, it's rarely, if ever worked for me, and quite a number of people I've known who've done it. But hey, if it works for other people out there, more power to them. I'd like to know how you and Sudai met, but it'd probably be best to continue this via pm to not cram the Social Thread anymore than it has.

Nah the friends first method is just an extensive method for screening. It's strictly practical. You can figure out if a girl is attractive physically in about 5 seconds. It takes much longer to look for red flags, annoying habits, or to figure out her person. And frankly, if the girl has any value past pump and dump, she should be screening you right back. The friends first thing also gives both people valuable time to set personal boundaries. Its success is basically the opposite of why rebounds are so bad. If you decide that you like the girl and want to emotionally invest in her, it's a well-informed, consciously made decision that benefits both parties. Think about it.

 

[Raccoon Chuck]

What are these relationships you people speak of? The last time I had a good conversation with a human of the feminine sort was when she overheard my "Cornered 2001" ringtone.

Maybe I should reevaluate the nature of my human interaction a bit?

Go to a party and bring a lot of weed, girls will do anything to smoke you out

*EDIT* I didn't get trashed by Drinking Food this time! i lost most of them but they all came down to the last stocks

If you decide that you like the girl and want to emotionally invest in her, it's a well-informed, consciously made decision that benefits both parties. Think about it.

The problem is how long that actually takes. You can get to know a person and get most of your screening done in a 3-hour date over coffee (assuming you know how to keep good conversation). If you find yourselves being really into each other and chatting and flirting till the place closes, you can go to your or her place and escalate from there. If you feel you need to do more screening, then you can just let the date end naturally, and have a second date later.

If I call or text a girl for date and she makes a counteroffer saying I should hang out with her and her friends, or do some friendly activity, I politely decline and tell her we'll reschedule or I ignore the message. I'm sorry, I don't have the patience for things like this. It wastes my time, I don't get to build a connection with her as effectively, and it doesn't lead to any progress towards taking her to my bedroom.

 

[Deleted member]

you don't need to screen her at all if you're taking her to the bedroom in 3 hours.

if you're looking for a girl you can take home to meet your mother, you have to screen her. a lot. it takes time but that's just how it goes. you can go about it the right way but you can never cheat the process. just hanging out and doing whatever as friends isn't substantially different than going on numerous dates anyway.

and frankly i think getting to know people is fun.

 

[Vashimus]

Getting to know people is fun. While you should screen as much as you can on the outset, also remember you'll have all the time you want to learn more about a girl once you've had sex and you're in the relationship.

It's much harder to transition from "friend" to "boyfriend" than doing it the other way around. It's even worse when you're being her friend trying to work your way up and, little do you know, she goes home to another dude every night.

the idea is to make an informed decision on what you want to do with her prior to forming an intimate relationship with her. that way you can get to know her more without the emotional investment. it's just avoiding getting hurt at no real cost.

you can stay just friends with a woman and transition into more than that very easily, just don't get put on the friend ladder in the first place.

i do agree that you should have sex with the girl before you ever commit to her emotionally (i.e. dating), just so you're more informed. but i think if you're looking for a girl that you want to keep, you should be close friends before you have sex with her or start dating her.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

PM's were even renamed to conversations, get a room you two. Have sex so you can get to know each other better... In private.

[Vashimus]

Yeah, I suppose that's fair, Umbreon. I don't like getting too invested in a girl just yet, but like I said, more power to you for doing what works for you.

Sorry for the romance sh*t and talking so much, Social Thread. I've been a baaaaaaaaaaad puddy tat. I'll get out of your hair.

PMBR, I have a super big favour to ask you. Can you switch the positions of Dracula's Castle and Skyloft? No one really likes to play on Skyloft competitively, and Dracula's Castle was widely used until it got dammed to the upper row.

Thanks <3

 

[Zeallyx]

What

I love Skyloft

No it doesn't. I feel sorry for any player that misses Wisp nowadays. You'd think that the acc buff would be enough for it to be reliable in critical situations, but it never is. I'd sooner rely on Scald and its 242% burn rate tbh

That said, all of this messing around with Entei got me really diggin' Arcanine. Scared Fire never burns when I want it to, so the swap actually produced better results (using LO Morning Glory btw) with that particular team. Not saying that it's good, but man do I love dogs.
