--Ghirahim, on 3DS getting a second circle pad

 

[Mr. Johan]

I dunno how to feel about the second circle pad, since I don't own a 3DS atm, but I feel like all the news is being exacerbated by everyone for the sake of just exacerbating something, and not based on something really concrete.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Gf2tw dropping in to say hi to all the legends still running this show! Happy 20th, Sonic.

 

[B_AWAL]

All my money. All of it.

Or at least 80 dollars, including shipping charges since SEGA kindly denied the US this and as such I need to import it.

I agree 100%

Good thing I have a friend studying abroad :-)

Although I'm buying a XBOX 360 or a PS3... which 1 shud I get???



My lil pony 16bit is 2 gud

 

[B_AWAL]

I may be a tool... but I'm a happy tool that just wants it because it just so happens 2 be there...

Like a good looking woman who is STD free but has a bad personality...

Ur not gonna want a relationship with her but U WILL have SEX with her... JUST BECUZ

 

[MarKO X]

I feel like 3DS should get two more trigger (top) buttons before it gets another circle pad.

But, you know... I don't like FPS's.

MK ban poll guiz

http://www.smashboards.com/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=6388

ctrl-F "2-1". The OP wasn't the same but everything else matches: a one-post-and-locked poll thread.

/flex

Here's the actual poll: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=310386

 

[Mr. Johan]

Already voted last night. I voted Pro-ban.

I'm anxious to see where Diddy Kong and DDD go without MK around, as those two seem to be the main points of contention.

 

[Espy Rose]

I really hope it counts for something this time.
It'd be mighty nice to not have to hear the same sound effects at every single tournament.

 

[MarKO X]

Already voted last night. I voted Pro-ban.

I'm anxious to see where Diddy Kong and DDD go without MK around, as those two seem to be the main points of contention.

And Marth... the guy who secretly supposedly has no bad matchups if MK gets banned.

Personally, I think there may be some random "mid-tiers" that jump out the hat and become real interesting in the tourney scene if MK gets banned (Pikachu, Olimar, and Peach come to my mind without knowing how they do against other characters...). Tier list may make some crazy shifts all round if MK gets banned, since the list is pretty much, "Who does well against MK and how well they do against characters that may do well against MK."

 

[Espy Rose]

Pikachu and Olimar aren't mid tier.
And they both probably get more difficult anyways, since we'll be seeing more Falcos for Olimar, and more Diddy Kongs for Pikachu.

But it's too hard to tell because of the sheer number of characters there are to choose from in a MKless meta.

Toon Link'll probably see more spotlight.

 

[MarKO X]

welp. there goes my ignorance exposed.

totally forgot about toon link... he reminds me of an onstage pit that can kill (better than pit, anyway) (or am I wrong about that?)

Good thing MK's gonna be "legal" for Apex, cause it's obvious without him as a player I'd be trash, right?

 

[Espy Rose]

Toon Link still can't kill worth a damn. It's like Sonic, where we can theoretically KO at 120%, but it's just not gonna happen often enough to put it under heavy consideration.

 

[Tesh]

We will see how Marth does. He is supposed to be just a weaker version of MK which is the explanation for why all the best Marths eventually go MK. I still think he is borderline mid tier though just like DDD. Just because he beats Snake doesn't mean he is amazing.

?

I'm still excited to finally start using MK in tournament though. Hopefully it isn't a crushing failure. I actually really suck as properly cancelling nado and drill rush. I always feel a little....dirty... when I realize every situation where I might punish an airdodge with a rising bair or fair, I can do a 19 damage nair or uair string for 30-50 damage or shuttle loop to kill at like 80 (or set up for an easy gimp lower).

 

[Kuraudo]

I am the bone of my sword

Speed is my body and wind is my blood

I have collected over a thousand rings

Unaware of loss, nor aware of reason

Withstood pain to collect seven emeralds

I have no regrets. I’ve got my own way

So as I race…

UNLIMITED RING WORKS!

aaand back to the abyss of lurking I go

 

[phi1ny3]

I'm on the fence as to which of these two chars to use for mid tiers, it's either Sonic or Sheik (I've been an addict to speed lately). I feel I gel w/ sheik's moveset more, but I could definitely do with some of those cool fake-outs Sonic has.

 

[Tesh]

if its for mid tiers, i'd say go sheik since alot of people will use fox and wolf for an event like that.

 

[Espy Rose]

Phil, everyone feels like they gel with Sheik because her moves naturally string together.
She's just incredibly combo friendly.

 

[phi1ny3]

That's true, although I feel I get her best game strat, which is similar to sonic's (don't get hit while looking for whiffs/bad reactions or habits). Then again, lots of characters could benefit from that strat, but you know what I mean.

But at the same time, there was this one pic I remember, where by the time the announcer said "Go!", Sonic was like 3/4's across the stage, I had to admit that was pretty insane as a testament to his raw speed.

if its for mid tiers, i'd say go sheik since alot of people will use fox and wolf for an event like that.

True true, I originally picked up sheik because I didn't want to play Fox as Lucario, and she had a pretty decent MU v. snake (even though ftilt lock doesn't truly work on him b/c of grenades). btw, how is Sonic v. Fox?

 

[Tesh]

*finds pic*

Sonic vs Fox is a bit of an advantage to Fox I'd say. He has a stronger close range game, strong high damage punishers in the air and can really punish any carelessness with an early kill. You have to make sure you can really gimp him or its a tough matchup.

Back to Brawl discussion? Awesome.

Sonic vs Fox depends, basically, on whether you can grab release near the ledge, and then edgeguard from there.

So I finally got paid for my mentoring services, even though I was supposed to be paid on 7/30...

 

[Tesh]

and you bought two the of worst sonic games ever?

[Mr. Johan]

Nothing can ever compare to the atrocities that are Sonic 06 and Sonic Labyrinth.

 

[Da1AndOnlySonic]

With Sonic Heroes being my favorite and loving Sonic 06, I think I can give these 2 games a shot.

 

[Mr. Johan]

The Wind Crest in Secret Rings makes the entire game worth it, so try and get that.

 

[Tesh]

So storm you not coming to HOBO after all?

http://www.twitch.tv/rockettrainer

Livestream link for anyone that wants to see Espy, Zero, BSP and the great awesome TESH!!!

Should be up around 11 central.

 

[Kinzer]

... Welp, I'm glad I finished my Sociology homework just in time.

I could do some reading, but eh. I'm hungry.

Maybe I'll do some reading studying after all this. I just woke up, so I'll have lots of free time on hand.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Yeah, Tesh. I didn't get a big enough paycheck two weeks ago to be able to set aside enough money for this event. I needed the money for food and stuff.

Maybe next time. Maybe a DMT or a Phase.

 

[Tesh]

I don't go to those...

Maybe WHOBO 4 then.

[MarKO X]

Thing is, Sonic's max speed is faster in Sonic Labyrinth than it is in non-Mach rounds of Sonic 0****.

 

[Da1AndOnlySonic]

Unless you use blue gem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeclXxJd4nw

Too bad you have no control during the initial burst of speed.

Also:

 

[Tesh]

just got back from a tournament, won't be posting the results but iono.... this game :/

 

[BSP]

Just got back too

I go to Tx and get greeted with the sonic slayer and Bio >_>

 

[Tesh]

BSP what did you place?
Espy got 13th
I got 17th. :/
Zero got 25th I think

out of 48 i think

I wanted to watch Bio vs Espy and Bio vs you, but those matches happened off in that corner setup and I couldn't get to it at all.

MK vs Sonic is lulz.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Chozo started going MK on me in Smashfests in an attempt to get me rusty in the GW matchup. Methinks he should stick with MK if his SH Fairs are going to shut me down as handily as they are right now.

 

[Tesh]

lol fair, my MK doesn't even do that. I just dair and nado, ffnair if im after big damage and combos.

fair is no fun though.

he is probably going mk just to go mk though. its definitely worth it lol.
