laptops are a necessity, and thus, you cannot call them overrated.
people need laptops if they need to work outside of their home.

Moving constantly between my mum's place, my dad's place and my house at uni. We're also moving to a different house at uni over the summer. It's just not practical. It's not that it won't run smash, it just temporarily freezes a lot, and when I play online my ping is always above 90, which is just unplayable for a player as awesome as me.Get a Tower PC with a monster graphics card to play games, and keep the laptop for working. I would do it in your case. And why you are moving so much? You run away from the british rain or what?
... Runs wow quite nicely though.

It isn't that hard to move a computer.
But I think it's perfectly legit to continue using a laptop for price reasons - desktop computers are reasonably expensive and if you already have a laptop it might not be worth it.

It's obviously still in progress, but looks like King Funk got tired already.
A lot of active players are missing, including myself (almost active lol), zen or sheick. So I guess we will have to wait some times to see the rest.

No, it really isn't. Not everyone has a car you know.
Also, interesting that Law's been moved down a tier. Also, has smakis disappeared again?

So ... if you're in London wanna play sometime? I'm in Oxford.
smakis kinda stopped playing 64 and switched to melee.
law was in brazil for a few months, and so, funk moved him down on assumption of rustiness.
Sangoku
Smash Master
Law told me he isn't rusty, but he didn't improve.
I personally wouldn't put him in S-tier anyway. I'm not saying he isn't good (he's obviously better than me), but I still don't think he's at maddy & co's level.
Concerning smakis, I've never even played him =(.

Sorry guys, for the lack of updates. I've been in holidays and had a lot of difficulties in doing anything. I'll see what I can do about this list soon.

If your not allready a member, join the 64 msn group and you should be able to play everyday.

DDD3 is already in the group. But I remember he lagged terribly, like one second freeze every five seconds. So the games were rather unplayable.
King Funk
Int. Croc. Alligator
Yep he joined our group. He used to play 64 offline only but I met him at a smashfest and convinced him to get into online. He still needs to buy a controller or a GC adapter but he says he'll do so after Pound V.
King Funk
Int. Croc. Alligator
Hehe... He mains Falcon fyi. And he has very solid spacing. =)Now we need those chilean guys to create a Peach gameshark code into the game.
Time for you to come back to the chat? =D

If you're talking about the best Peach in Melee, then yes, he's European. He's been winning every European tournament he goes to for a long time now.
i tend to think it will be sooner.
imo it is far easier transferring skills from melee to 64 than the other way around.
his spacing will probably be better than most.

Some skills carry over, like spacing and the technical side like cancelling, and once you snag ahold of the game's physics, it's definitely an easier ascent to awesomeness than somebody who's never played a Smash game.
However, I agree that Melee-->64 is easier than the converse, because of the speed and technicality of the game.

Nah..., seriously?
There is stuff from melee that melee players can miss a lot when playing 64, like wavedashing, airdodging, the different kind of DI... Plus Melee being faster doesnt necessarily mean that 64 will be easy for them because is slower.

Well, generally speaking, it's easier to go from faster to slower, than slower to faster.
At least, I'd like to think so.
When I run a 400 on the track, it is easier to jog serenely and get two minutes than to bust my *** for a 50s time to break my 1 min record. OHOHOO

I think it's actually quite easy to get good at Smash 64, more than any of the other two smash games. All it really takes is basic spacing and combos.
Being better than the norm is another story though. =S

We'll have the answer to that post-Pound V hopefully

I better get back to the group asap and beat him before the mountain becomes too steep to climb. Then I can say I beat him once and impress everyone.
melee players don't "jog" when they switch to this game, they still try to move as fast as the game allows them to, it just happens to be a slightly slower race.
that is not a good analogy. a better one would be describing them as different races, melee being the 400 and 64 being the 1500.

I have a LOT more trouble going from Melee to Brawl than Brawl to Melee. But then it's not really because of the speed. =S

That's pretty bizarre, I'm pretty sure most people aren't like that. But I don't play Barlw so what do I know
King Funk
Int. Croc. Alligator
Yeah it's not because of the speed. It's just that Brawl is really strange compared to Melee. If I play Melee then Brawl, I end up playing too aggressive in the latter and don't use the right moves for the right time at all. Brawl revolves mostly on baiting, patience and smart defensive play and those are things I do not quite have in check the first two hours I start playing Brawl. I use the wrong moves, forget about how good shield is, forget about airdodge tomahawks, grab options and stuff like that.
But that might be just me, dunno. Or maybe because I just play Melee a lot more often now. For example, 64, it's really difficult for me to get rusty because I've just played it so much that things are natural to me. Maybe the same would happen with the other two games if I had played the same amount.

Brawl is tough to get used to, if not just because it's so disconcerting when I land a knee at a low percent and get grabbed before my landing lag finishes...
Can't really use the big-boy attacks until later on, simply because of how fast the opponent recovers (while shielding, too), and that just seems unnatural to me.
Also, it's the only smash game where if you land a spike on the ground, it's a bad idea to jump up in the air to finish him off.

Once you get used to it it actually becomes fun. You actually end up trying to guess where he's going, reading his airdodges, etc.
