I plugged in the old Gamecube yesterday and just now got done playing Melee for the first time in 5 years.

I can't tell what it its, but the reactions feel so delayed and clunky when compared to Smash 4, and I don't think it's my controller. Maybe it's just because I've spoiled myself with tap jump (which sucks in Melee) but I can not get myself to use X and Y to jump. :urg:
I think it's safe to say I'm not cut out to be a Melee player, that's for sure.

Oh well, time to leave it on all night to get Mewtwo, I guess.:smirk:

did you play on an HD TV?
It makes the game laggy and delayed if you do.

you dont gotta go COMPLETE defensive, but you do have to... spot dodge and stuff.
aggressive play is possible, when you add a bit of defensive to it. thats how this game kind of operates.
Yeah, I don't know how to find a balance.
I try to be a little defensive, but then my opponent invariably uses that to close all possible attack openings and then it turns into a straight-up ****ing campfest until the timer runs out.

Why am I still so passionate about this game when I hate the core aspects of it so much

eh, thats not true.
your opponents playing it like that depends on the player.
for instance, i tend to just keep moving around, either grabbing a shield or simply attempt to punish a spot dodge or roll. FG is full of scrubs (im jokingly using this term lol) that will simply shield and such as well, which can be boring. just gotta play with the right crowd. if you wanna avoid FG, i dont mind playing matches when im available.

that being said, due to how aggressive of a player you are and how much you seem to dislike how this game plays, perhaps look into 64 or melee. while im more of an aggressive player, i legitimately enjoy smash 4, and my only gripe with it is the shields themselves.

I have way more gripes with 64 and Melee than this game. Especially "Wavecamping" Melee.

I actually do. A lot. And I turn to it as my last hope of some kind of stress relief and it invariably backfires.

Good evening.

Went on FG yesterday to play a few rounds, but after my experience with lag, I've decided that I'm never playing online smash again unless the connection is better. I mean holy ****- a two second delay after each input? Yeah, **** that. I get better connection with my other games though, so that's alright. I'm also kinda sad nobody wanted to play Pokemon with me yesterday, but oh well. *shrug*

I played Splatoon instead. Unlocked the last skill slots in Octoling Boots and armor and combined the set with pilot goggles. My Inkling looks badass. Her abilities are alright too. Gotta reroll my armor though cause its got an unnecessary double in it.

After thinking it for a while, rebooting Xena is going to be hard, specially with the cast; they can't put any random blond grill as Gabrielle

If it's not the HDTV lagging things to heck, it's the lack of buffering.

Phew, shout outs to TSB Chaos and LoF Blue for a hype GF set in 8WayRun's Smash 4 tournament tonight.

You're not gonna believe this, but someone put Shia LaBeouf telling (probably) Bowser to JUST DO IT. Provided it's actually on Jason Axelrod's Youtube, it has to be seen to be believed.:131:

Whenever I get "two second input delay" matches, it's always against Ganondorf and his now-undodgeable Warlock Punches. GEE, I WONDER WHY. (I flat-out call these players "throttlers", because no way it's a coincidence.)

the only campy match ups in melee are ones that involve jiggly puff (and to a far lesser extent marth) smash 64 and smash 4 are both way more campy and camping is prevalent in literally every match-up in 64

<<< This is only 90% done, but meh, my impatient self wanted me to put the avatar up already. The final 10% is getting the star on the shield naturally. It needs to be titled and stretched so that it looks like it's actually a part of the shield and not just slapped on there. So if there's any of you that are savvy with Photoshop out there and want to finish off the final 10%, give me a holler and I'll send you the raw image of my avi and the star.

With that aside.... do you like it still?

Thanks! :grin: I was originally gonna go with black hair just so it represents my hair irl, but it just wouldn't work well for this sprite
, so I was like "screw it, gray hair master race."

All this pic needs is the perfect shield. Then I will be 100% happy with all the effort I've put into it. :4link:

2) Get Ryu first after saving up a bit more
3) Save up more and get a Kirby Amiibo

For me, characters are TOP priority. So I would go for Ryu.

I really wish the Ryu + Suzaku was optional
I don't wanna spend more cash to get a character when I'm probably not gonna play the stage ever

And I don't even have a credit card
All the money I'm getting is just rotting in a Picard's Peanuts piggy bank
So I ain't gonna be able to get anything until I get a Credit Card

DL64 is $2.81 in Canadian moneys
So that means I should have enough to get it by the end of the week as long as I keep my room clean (For a shiny $2 of allowance)
All I need is a credit card
EXCELLENT :4wario:
