SB/SLO Smash: You've just activated my trap card!

[Dantarion]

I might come, but I might be hacking stuff at Triple Threat.

 

[metalreflectslime]

I might come to the LAN Party.

I do not have any set ups with me right now, but I may know where to get a few more set ups from my friends.

How many set ups do you think are necessary at the LAN Party?

 

[DanteFox]

If we have as many people at the lan party as we did yesterday at Cape's place, 3 should be enough, 4 would be the most I could see us needing. If we only have 2 it's gonna suck.

Hey I'm a freshmen at UCSB. I came from Norcal... I always wanted to be in a competitive scene, but I never found people to play with, rides to go to places, etc. As such, I never got that great at Smash, never really broke through the scrub level (I could consistently beat my friends, so never really had an opportunity to improve).

I haven't played Smash in a long long time (at least like 5-6 months, 1-2 years since I regularly played), but I sorta want to get back into it. Is the competitive scene here pretty solid? I'm probably gonna go to that LAN party people mentioned earlier.

Anyway, if someone wanted to help me out, that'd be awesome.

brawl or melee?

 

[dakattack101]

The only one I ever got decent at was Melee. My main was Marth, but I dropped him and started playing with Peach a lot more. It was kinda difficult to get better with Peach because I couldn't practice a lot of techniques on my friends (especially when downsmash spamming sufficed...). Anyway, I played Brawl, but never got that into it. But I'd be down to play whatever Smash really.

never play brawl again, you'll be much happier with yourself

well we're gonna be playing melee at the lan party, so bring a controller and be prepared to play melee.

oh yeah and welcome to the ucsb melee community.

 

[CableCho57]

Cool another player. And ismokeherbz is right, don't play brawl

 

[dakattack101]

Haha, okay. No brawl then. I wasn't really a fan of it anyway.

Looking forward to playing, its been so long.

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

Good luck with the LAN.

Dante don't eat all the food. the organizers will get mad if you eat too much...Last time I made sure to buy extra for all the smashers

 

[dakattack101]

Hey you guys I was wondering if there's a video game store in Goleta. The only thing I could find was Game Stop in downtown SB, and I'm lazy and don't wanna take the bus. I wanted to know if there's anything closer (I live in FT btw).

PS: Gosu Engineer, what engineering are you?

 

[metalreflectslime]

I believe he is Chemical since I recall him asking if this one person needed a 110A book.

I agree with Caleb and ismokeherbz.

Just play Melee only.

Do you have a spare controller I can borrow for the LAN Party, dakattack101?

 

[dakattack101]

Haha nice I'm chemical too!

 

[metalreflectslime]

Nice. I am Chemical as well.

Also, do you have a Melee set up at your dorm in FT?

I lived there last year.

 

[dakattack101]

Haha sorry I don't. I actually wanted to know where a video game store was around here so I could go buy one. Haha xD

So what year are you? How's ChemE been?

 

[metalreflectslime]

I am a second year Chem E major.

I lived in FT last year and San Rafael Hall this year.

So far Chem E has been difficult (with a lot of memorization from Organic Chemistry and long problem sets from Chem E 10).

I actually pulled an all nighter on Thursday night doing Chem E 10 homework from 6PM Thursday to 9 AM Friday and somehow managed to go even with Caleb, Dante, Josh, Cape, Ryan, David at the Smashfest on Friday. I beat Joe once and lost to him like 7 times.

I guess I don't need sleep to play Melee well.

But now I feel somewhat tired.

I might take a nap after dinner.

I am going to dinner right now actually.

game crazy in the calle real shopping center. You're gonna have to take a bus either way, unless you wanna walk a few miles past the airport, past hollister, and across the freeway. look it up on google maps or something. you'll end up taking the 11 and transferring to some other bus.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Thanks, Dante.

I might go check that place out some time.

 

[DanteFox]

or I guess if you have a bike, you could technically bike there too. it would still be kinda long, but nothing ridiculous. Just call the store in advance to make sure they have whatever it is you're looking for.

 

[∫unk]

if you bike its like a 2 hour round trip with a pretty decent hill in there

best is bus + skateboard/walking

[metalreflectslime]

I agree with Junk.

Bus + skateboard = win.

whoops... been away for awhile

I was chemical. but I'm nothing now since I graduated and gone

Dude...you think Chem E 10 is hard....wait til 110ab and 120abc...I liked chem e 10...

and organic won't come back to haunt you til 172

 

[Gishnak]

Junk, I noticed you removed your "Junk's new improved marth" where you fight my d3. What happened?

 

[∫unk]

it wasnt my video the guy probably just took it down

my marths sucks balls now

hope ur boat trip was fun

 

[metalreflectslime]

Andrew, do you have a job as a Chem E, attending graduate school in Chem E, etc.?

So for the LAN Party, are we all planning to play Melee at exactly 12 PM?

I don't want to show up too early and then waste time because all the Melee smashers decide to play after 12PM.

 

[Gosu_Engineer]

I'm actually giving up on chem e completely. Going to be an actuary (if you don't know what that is google it I'm sick of explaining it). if that falls through a math teacher

 

[CrashOverride]

Did Joe get ***** by Mango? Yes he did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6Q8YyO2oS4

Did Ryan lose to a random Falcon player with awesome DI, yes he did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT6O2qStLM4&feature=related

Don't ask why, but I decided that this needed to be shown.

 

[qmann28]

Are you guys all really good smashers? I realized I haven't played Melee in years and I'm only used to Brawl physics now. I have a bad feeling I'm going to get destroyed on Saturday.

 

[metalreflectslime]

Just show up and try your best, qmann28.

Thanks for the link CrashOverride.

So do all of the Melee smashers plan to show up exactly at 12 PM or is everyone showing at at whatever time?

Thanks.

 

[CableCho57]

Im coming around 4ish after work with a full setup. I don't know about everyone else

 

[∫unk]

congrats to dsf and warp and myself for being ranked in norcal in brawl... warp and i are getting pretty consistent in teams too

step it up melee ppl

i need to step it up too im still horrible

rep it for cencal

 

[metalreflectslime]

Okay, I'll probably show up at 12 PM to see if anyone is there and check every 45 minutes since I live close by.

CrashOverride, any chance you can let me borrow a controller for the smashfest at the LAN Party?

 

[DrAwesome]

Those videos were great crash. Poor joe.

Anywho, what are the details for Saturday? What time does it start/end and what not?

and congrats to the brawl guys (i guess, haha)

 

[∫unk]

dont worry once im back in sb we'll be coming after you guys in melee >: )

 

[metalreflectslime]

The LAN Party is from 12 PM - 12 AM.

 

[∫unk]

hey so if brawl's tourney ends early on saturday me and warp will come by but it'll be later like after dinner probably

we might bring a setup but if you guys could post if you need 1 more on saturday or not thatd be helpful

 

[DrAwesome]

Cool so who is going and when? also do they need set ups?

 

[CableCho57]

I'm bringing a full setup but I'm getting there around 4. I'm pretty sure Dante is bring one too but I don't know what time he's going

 

[metalreflectslime]

I'll try to get a set up from my friends but I am not sure if I can get it from them or not.
