Santa Barbara / San Luis Obispo Smash: Smash Club this Tuesday at HFH @ 8 pm

[Crackle]

Unlimited texting. Don't abuse it though, Not unlimited patience.

And yeah, multigaming is just asking to be worse than you could be if you stuck with one. That goes for any games. Smash games are very similar, but high level play isn't similar enough in the two games.

 

[DanteFox]

It's unfortunate that you chose to quit melee instead of brawl, but I wish you the best of luck in your competitive journey.

 

[Crackle]

Over the winter break the person's place I'm staying at agreed with me that we were both closer to ranking in Brawl than melee by far so it just followed that this winter we choose one or the other to cinch respective placings by smashfestingx20.

 

[CableCho57]

yeah thats what happens. A lot of ppl who are already good at brawl dont have the patience to switch. But the few ppl that do (like Fiction) are awesome

 

[Crackle]

Brawl definitely helps perspective when switching back to melee. Essentially the transition is from a thinking > AT game to a game of finger-speed > thinking. When you practice incorporating AT's (which are actually much easier to practice than thinking...) after switching to Melee after having played brawl at a decent level for a while...yeah.

But I enjoy Brawl at a high level more than losing to low level Fox players in melee at the moment, because in brawl I can at least 2-stock low level metaknights.

 

[metalreflectslime]

If no one says they will bring set ups by Thursday night, I might as well cancel the smashfest. Also Dante, it is not unfortunate that he picks one game over the other. People do whatever they want. You make it sound like a person who plays :brawl: over :melee: is considered "outside the norm."

 

[Crackle]

Yeah wtf dante...sheeeeeeit

 

[metalreflectslime]

If I don't get confirmation of enough set ups by Monday 8 PM, I'm cancelling the reservation for the room we're playing in on Saturday. Also how many texts sent and received does David Mendez get per month for his cell phone texting plan?

 

[DanteFox]

I'll bring a setup.

I say it's unfortunate because melee is a better competitive game than brawl, and because players who started on brawl tend to get really good really fast when they switch to melee, and John himself was on the same track. I faced the same problem back in '09, and I chose melee instead.

 

[metalreflectslime]

I also forgot to mention that the room I'm reserving (for free) will also depend on how many set ups we get so if David Mendez does not bring a set up, then I would have to change the reserved room. Also what was the "same problem" you faced in 2009?

 

[DanteFox]

which game to pick.

 

[metalreflectslime]

John changed his character icon from to

 

[DanteFox]

If you don't mind me asking, Huy, which room were you planning on reserving for this smashfest?

 

[CableCho57]

for me it was between halo and melee

I definitely made the right choice lol
not to mention its cheaper

 

[DanteFox]

duuuuuude I've been playing the pc version of halo lately (thanks to andrej for telling me about halo portable btw) and it's such a blast. snipers no shield baby.

 

[CableCho57]

halo portable? wth is that?? sounds epic

 

[DanteFox]

It's the pc version of halo, but some people (hackers or fans i guess) took it and cut out the single player and some of the maps so that it's only 77 Megabytes and you can fit it on a flash drive. You can then plug that flash drive into a school computer and play halo there! I haven't done that tho, but it's nice to have (thanks andrej!)

 

[Andymosity]

damn that sounds tight. hook it up!

 

[DanteFox]

the place I got it from says the link is down but this ought to work: http://www.haloportable.co.cc/

edit: oh wow I didn't know there was a version with all the maps. cool! I'll be downloading that for my home computer. :]

 

[metalreflectslime]

The San Rafael Community Room. This is assuming David Mendez also brings a set up. Also I was watching RoM 3: Hungrybox vs. M2K and then I refreshed the video to see it again but I could not. Did everyone had the same problem?

David M is gonna be in LA because of the LSAT, so he won't be attending. At the end of the last spring quarter we had a pretty fun smashfest with just my one setup. I don't see why we can't do that again.

 

[Stev]

snipers no shield baby.

+ no nades or radar, CTF = Civil War: The greatest game type ever created

 

[metalreflectslime]

Wait. I thought David Mendez already took the LSAT last Saturday. That's because in the Spring, we had few people. Also I like Andy's avatar. Who is confirmed for DGDTJ? Is anyone entering the N64 side event at DGDTJ? Isai is confirmed for N64 at DGDTJ?

 

[xcevers]

whats up

Hey this is evan, I've found the sb thread woohoo.

Crackle, did I play you a few days ago? I am honored if my low level of play inspired you to quit

 

[metalreflectslime]

Post your AIM SN onto your profile so people can contact you.

 

[xcevers]

Don't really use AIM, i think PMs on here should do the trick, or facebook

 

[metalreflectslime]

Also Dante, the reason why we cannot have one set up like last time in the spring is because last time we had few people. This time, we will have more people. Also has Dante, Joe, and Caleb been confirmed for DGDTJ? Dante and Caleb should at least give $15 in gas money to the driver for a round trip ride. Also Isai will be there for N64. I might as well cancel the smashfest as well as the room then. I don't like rotations.

 

[DanteFox]

we only have 3 people confirmed for the smashfest so far: caleb, you and me. Spring quarter we had andrej and josh as well. I don't see how we have too many people compared with last time.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Not quite true. Evan, Andrej, Anthony, David, Joe, and Cape will also come. Just because you do not know that there are more people coming does not mean that more people aren't coming. Also Caleb, Andrew, and Evan have not accepted my friend request on SWF yet.

8 people : 1 set up is not a good ratio, so that is why I am cancelling the room request. Also are you completely sure David Mendez has not taken the LSAT last Saturday?

have all of these people confirmed that they are coming, or are you just assuming? I'm surprised that Cape and Joe are coming. I figured 7 would be kinda late for them to stay out. And isn't there at least one tv in the San Raf lounge? I'm almost sure I saw one while walking around last time.

welcome to our humble thread. All the info regarding members of the community and upcoming events is in the first post. I can add you to the community list if you tell me which character you main.

 

[xcevers]

I'm not sure at the moment... How about falco/peach

And if your talking about smashing on saturday, no one has asked me and I will probably be out of town

 

[DanteFox]

thanks. I figured he was assuming. I think the only other people who might be in town at that time are cape, joe and andrej since he lives off campus. Anthony and David C. are unlikely I'd say.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Hey this is evan, I've found the sb thread woohoo.

Yo, nice seeing you. Stay tuned for updates on Smash Bros. Club at UCSB. I am optimistic for next quarter.

Now as for finals...

 

[metalreflectslime]

Dante, first of all, your assumption that I'm assuming they are not coming are double standard. You assert that your assumption that they are not coming is correct, yet you dismiss the fact that my assumption that they are coming is incorrect. There is no TV in the community room. First of all, we are not playing in the San Rafael Lounge, we are playing in the room I reserved. Anthony tells me otherwise. Dante, when do you finish final exams? Let's say your assumption is correct and there are only 3 people, I still would cancel the room and the smashfest anyways since it is only 3 people and not worth having the smashfest.

 

[DanteFox]

You're getting better at debating, but you still have a ways to go. You don't need to use debate language in this thread. Now, let's look at the worst case scenarios that would happen if each of our assumptions are wrong:

Dante is wrong: a smashfest happens with too few setups. we play teams and rotate out the losing team, or the player who died first rotates out if we have an odd number of people. We have a fun time regardless.

Huy is wrong: nobody has fun because huy cancelled the smashfest because he doesn't like waiting in rotations.

one assumption is clearly the better one.....

 

[metalreflectslime]

You are assuming that not having a smashfest is not fun which is not true. There are many other things you can do besides playing Melee to have fun. I still have fun while not playing Melee. You are assuming that everyone thinks playing Melee with having to wait in rotations is fun which is not true. Apparently, I do not think it is fun to play Melee while waiting in rotations. One assumption is not clearly the better one since you have assume false things to be true. You still didn't answer my question. When is your last final exam? I can come over to your house if you can host assuming the buses still run.

 

[DanteFox]

friday 4-7pm.

melee is more fun than no melee. Do you have less fun waiting in rotations than you do not playing melee at all? If so you're definitely in the minority. and yeah if you cancel the smashfest you'll force me to have one at my house, and we'll still probably do rotations.

 

[metalreflectslime]

I have less fun playing Melee + waiting for rotations than hanging out with friends, watch Japanese animation, reading, watching Youtube videos, etc. Playing Melee without rotations obviously surpasses all of that which we're not arguing about. Obviously, it is not enjoyable to wait in rotations and do other stuff while waiting in rotations, and switching back and forth. I'd rather focus on one thing. What is your new address and what buses do I have to take to get to your house?

 

[DanteFox]

you don't have to stay there if you don't want. you could start up the smashfest, and if it gets too crowded for your taste you could come and go at your leisure.

 

[metalreflectslime]

That's not how it works. Since I'm booking the room, I have to deal with clean up, etc. I have to take responsibility regarding the room, etc. Last time I hosted a smashfest at my suite in Spring and you, Josh, and Andrej didn't corrrectly position the chairs, couches, tables, etc. and there was trash in the suite and I received a complaint from RHA Housing. They knew I was responsible since I was the last person in my suite to check out. Good thing I didn't get charged money on my BARC account, but the warning is still on my record. In fact, the warning on my record may influence whether or not I am able to even book the room since they may give priority to people who don't have warnings on their housing record. So let's say I booked the room on Sunday (which I did) and then someone on a subsequent day (like let's say on Wednesday for example) books a room on the same day, then they will cancel my request and give it to the other person. The only person whom I'd probably trust this time to stay back and do the clean up, furniture positionings, etc. is like Anthony or something.
