Rocky 2009 - Hyper coverage on sale March 31

[J-Birds]

I struggle against Olimar and hate him with a passion. Meteors ***** me at Autmnsmash, i still have nightmares.

 

[Splice]

we have an olimar main in melbourne. hes pretty pwn atm, just gets out gayed by mks...

l2 camp with snake ss, cause its the only way to beat oli.

If yout talking about Ledge, he's actually pretty good Vs MKs. He only loses consistently to Earl.
He has more trouble with Wolves. And a certain GaW who 3-stocks him

Yet Earl is pretty much Melbourne's only competent MK main...

 

[Attila_]

which makes cobalt a... counterpick main?

 

[Shaya]

Makes Cobalt lazy, that's what.

 

[Redact]

cobalt just mains whatever you dont want him to main

 

[ACCELERATE]

You mean metaknight?

 

[Dekar289]

nope
if you play metaknight he plays mewtwo
you can't win

 

[Attila_]

cobalt mains d3 if you use snake, marth if you use ness etc etc.

thats why i said he mains counterpick

Yeah i have more trouble with wolf then MK atm , ill learn it though.

@Snake Mains:
Dthrow techchase is good against olis slow roll,
Dash Attack is good to punish olimar from outside his range,
Ftilt nearly has as much range as grab :S and can hit oli even after the pikmin has grabbed because of lack of superarmour.

EDIT: Also if Olimar shields Ftilt and snake tries to Ftilt again, Olimar can do a retreating pivot grab.

 

[Shaya]

Thats what I do against Olimars with Snake, Ledge.

It's SUPER EFFECTIVE.

Still not one of snake's easier match ups. Final D is lame.

 

[Splice]

Yeah, and the fact that Earl beats Ledge doesnt make it that Ledge is bad against MK. Earls just better than him. So you cant base Ledge not knowing the MU on one person who is better than him anyway. Also we have a few other competent MK mains, don't be mean

lol its all good Splice, MK is pretty good vs Olimar as you know, restricts so much of my moveset so i can still get out gayd , even though i know it decently.

fd is waaaaay more doable than bf or similar. snake needs room to get around the camping (snake's camping outranges olis on big stages), hates platforms cause of uair combos, and needs to avoid the grab.

 

[pressokman]

Who would be interested in a melee falcon only?

 

[Zant3tsuken]

Okay, this thread needs to be reigned in a bit.

BAM (Battle Arena Melbourne) 2009 has been announced and registration will begin shortly.
http://www.couchwarriors.org/bam

Since you guys all have accounts here and it would be a pain to get everyone to sign up, it's best to do a signup list here. We'll update the signup list on the BAM website regularly.

TOs: are you guys running singles and doubles for both Melee and Brawl? Are there any other comps that people need to register for?

 

[S.D]

Bought flights, confirm me for this hoedown.

So do I just need to signup here now or do I need to preregister as well?

 

[Gords]

Bought flights, confirm me for this hoedown.

which flights did you book and where are you staying?

 

[Shaya]

Any other games will be ad hoc if time persists/resources exist.

Anything from Low Tiers, Brawl+, or maybe even n64 games [Where you at DJCAT!?].
None should require pre-registration, nor any I think would incur a registration fee/cut of the pot.

 

[Zant3tsuken]

So do I just need to signup here now or do I need to preregister as well?

You can just rock up if you like, but pre-reg will save you $5. You can pay via direct debit or paypal.
http://www.couchwarriors.org/bam/register.php

When you guys have decided the schedules, we'll put them up on the website.

 

[CAOTIC]

^ I'll get back to you shortly on that one.

Don't you mean if time permits?

 

[CAOTIC]

Time always persists Shaya. No tricksies from you, tyvm.

The first post has been updated with integrations from the Official BAM website.

Pre-registering? Get cracking.

 

[Shaya]

****it Ted, because of you pointing out my potentially legally binding sure-fire way of getting smash 64 at Rocky, there won't be smash 64 at rocky

 

[luke_atyeo]

[C~Dog]

[Leisha]

Why is earl ******** conor? earl is teh epic awesomeness ;3

only 2 months away now, yeys

 

[Splice]

Cao, i know i can go but i dont which day i can go (its likely i will only be able to make one)

Should i still register despite the fact my days of attendance could vary?
Im not certain about anything yet.
doe it matter how close to the "End of Registration" date we register?

 

[CAOTIC]

Yes, registration is recommended to save on entry on the day, as long as you pay before September 30.

 

[Zant3tsuken]

Hi guys,
Thanks for the signups so far.

A couple of things to remember.
-The $20 entree + $20 pot are specifically if you wish to enter a Smash title. Our other main events have their own additional pot fees. Check them out below.
http://www.couchwarriors.org/bam/events.php
-Please don't list yourselves down as a maybe for an event. So far I've simply ignored 'maybes' in the list. If you're not sure and you're afraid you'll change your mind later, we will ask you when you pay your tournament money on the day, if you want to add/remove anything. That said, people who have prepaid and don't need to change anything will get preference for first in the door.

There is quite a few people entering Melty Blood. Can whoever *cough*Sam*cough* is running it get back to me with these details:
-Is there an entry charge for this game? (recommend no more than $5)
-Where is the equipment coming from? How many setups?
-How long do you think it will need to go for? What is your preference schedule wise?

 

[CAOTIC]

A Melty Blood tournament would be freaking amazing. I just realized how awesome that could be LOL

 

[Borgieman]

Count me in!

 

[Vermy]

I'm ordering in an Arcade stick offf Playasia so we should be able to use it for Melty. =]

Keyboard and joypads suck for quarter circles.

 

[CAOTIC]

Welcome, and place your details in this thread thanks!

Depends on what you use. I use a PS2 control and I don't have trouble with that, haha.

 

[ACCELERATE]

Sweet Cao. Ill have to talk to you about details and shiz soon.

 

[Sieg]

I've got a stick I'll bring down.

It's of good quality and everyone will love it.

Although keyboard QC ftw.

 

[SummonerAU]

Just wait until EA takes out the clackmaster 9000.

 

[CAOTIC]

Sieg - You and Sam need to do a Arcade Stick showdown. His is pretty legit as well.

Does anyone in Melbourne have a Camcorder they'd like to lend? I think a montage is in order. BACH/0C2 style

 

[Vyse]

Still considering whether to attend or not.
Should get around to checking out my uni schedule, dealing with parents etc.
