[Alacion]

Whoops wrong thread, lol!

 

[Crusayer]

You should've told them KILLLOCK plays at these monthlies.

Queue mass fanbase support.

 

[Kuraudo]

Sadly enough that'd probably work.

 

[Frio]

or artosis

 

[victra♥]

marktosis

imo

 

[Brown.]

Damn, why did those guys say no?

I actually have no clue why, they were known as the jubbas (jub and jubba were smashnames), but searching forums shows nothing promising.

 

[Yoshara]

As a last minute reminder, I will be hosting this week.

 

[Frio]

Next date and can we unban double MK?

 

[Alphicans]

Can we also stop with the japanese stagelist?

 

[KirbyKamikazi]

Sorry won't be able to make Saturday, guys.

 

[Limeee]

there is nothing happening on saturday IIRC...

 

[Kuraudo]

Can we also stop with the japanese stagelist?

We stop with Japanese ruleset, we ban MK. In my opinion at least.

 

[Limeee]

nah we should keep mk and do american stage list

im sick of seeing characters that aren't mk

 

[brningpyre]

We'll be sticking with the Japanese stagelist for the next tourney. Can you guys answer me on when you're available for the next tourney?

Let's do it October 20, unless anyone can't make it.

 

[victra♥]

So brave Keith


Prime time midterm season

 

[Frio]

what about double MK keith? And can't we think about using the APEX or Sunrise ruleset?

 

[Diminisht]

Let's do tourney 6 or 27? I can't make 20th.

Try 27th? right after mid terms too..

 

[KillLock]

the 27th sounds good to me.

 

[brningpyre]

October 27th it is!

 

[Frio]

Can you stop ignoring the double Mk question

 

[brningpyre]

Can you stop ignoring the double Mk question

I'm not ignoring you, Mark. You didn't say anything.

Do you have a specific reason you want to change the current rule? Any argument(s)?

 

[Frio]

Because larger tournaments are allowing double Mk and aren't using the Japanese rule set. I feel like we're limiting our ability to compete outside of our community. Remember Japan? Double MKs destroyed us and maybe our limited experience with them is a cause of that. More tournaments are also using the hybrid rule set that APEX and Sunrise used. We're cheating our players who want to go to apex 2013 out of practice. Just because we find the match-ups hard doesn't mean we should complain and ask for a character or specific stages to be banned (like Brandon requesting Mk to be banned without japan stage list). It doesn't matter if you think MKs a ***** on rainbow, people will still take you to it at other tournaments. We need to man up and get the practice we need. Those stages and MK exist at the major tournaments you guys want to go to.

 

[Kuraudo]

And all this talk about MK and the controversy he brings is why he was banned in the first place

--

No but in all seriousness, I can understand what Mark is saying, totally. In my opinion, Double MK isn't too much of a problem. Straight up? It's the chemistry that players build together that counts. That's why I want to team with Darren on a consistent basis to build our prowess and get better. That's why Luke and Mark are always at the top (sharing wins and losses with Jack and Alvin). That's why Jack and Dan were such an unstoppable force for so long was because they did everything together. As far as Double MK goes? That's our fault for not being more concise as teammates and practicing what really works.

Me and Mark failed at Sunrise due to a lack of synergy and I take full responsibility for it. As far as partners go (not counting his skill level, which is better too), Luke is the one that understands Mark best. I tried my hardest to keep hopes high, but more practice and faith works both ways. The characters aren't the problem in doubles. It's the players working together.

We need more solid teams fighting together. That was our problem in Japan, and that's the problem the likes of us that aren't Jack/Alvin and Luke/Mark face now.

I can concede to a hybrid stagelist that was offered at Sunrise, if we do change anything.

Double MK in tourneys? I'd allow that too. We as the players need to better work together as a team.

If you're around for Smash stuff, Darren, would you wanna keep teaming with me so we can keep getting better together? I think we have what it takes to be up there with the rest of our top players.

That right there? That's what we need to say to our partners if we wanna compete. Hell, me and Darren almost took out Felix's team when we were at Phoenix!

--

tl;dr version of all of that is? Sure, allow double MK. No QQ, get better. Japan was a real eye-opener as to just how far teamwork really goes.

 

[Alphicans]

It's also unclear if double MK is truly the most broken team. Double wario may be the answer!

 

[Kuraudo]

There's so many deadly combinations in this game. Double Wario is really mean, especially the fthrow to fart set-ups among other things.

When fighting Alvin and Kelvin when they did Double MK? It wasn't so bad. In fact, I actually found it EASIER because the chaos was used to my advantage to kill BOTH of them easier. It's easier to focus when it's one on one. And that's why Alvin took me by serious surprise this past monthly when we did Sonic vs. MK. Game 3 still, but I got rocked when it counted.

Double MK isn't so scary. ...Double Wario's pretty rotten though.

 

[Frio]

I found double wario to be the hardest team to VS so far. Even their double diddy was scary. Japan is just on a whole other level in teams. I say we're pretty even in singles

 

[lilseph]

Double Diddy on Japan ruleset is Broken as ****.

 

[~Firefly~]

Double Diddy is Broken as ****.

Fixed.

 

[| Big D |]

Double Diddy is pretty good, you just have to remove the vowels and then they become broken.

 

[Frio]

Holy ****: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vI8UXmUzNQ

 

[victra♥]

2 hours lmao

 

[Kuraudo]

I liked Subspace. It's like playing Kirby with a buncha Nintendo characters.

 

[Frio]

 

[Kuraudo]

Snake is so sneaky that he avoids 3rd party ridicule.

Spoiler

inb4 that's not the only reason

...

I'm never gonna be liked in Smash because I play Sonic. I've just come to accept it.

 

[victra♥]

hahahaha poor brandon

 

[Limeee]

play more pit and maybe someday we'll forget you ever played sonic

 

[Stevo]

I was actually considering playing Pit as it seems nobody else is really playing him.

Edit: Oh wait, I'm talking about Project m though

 

[Limeee]

armada has had lots of success with pit in europe, even beating all the OP lucarios and snakes

he's a super cool character

 

[victra♥]

yeah i used to play a lot of pit before i discovered wario. i might go back, who knows.

pit is pretty kick ***

 

[Alphicans]

I like pit a lot but he has such kill issues it seems :/
