you can ignore accuracy too if you just pump luck

it's +300 HP per hp node iirc

Didn't know accuracy could be substituted entirely with luck. Are you sure about that?

And I said 200HP as an erasable node, then you put a 300 instead.

 

[clubbadubba]

People should sign up for SSBL in the competitive events section, because its cool.

 

[The Star King]

OK, I will join because your league deserves support

But this is what happens when you start one in the fall bro

 

[jimmyjoe]

If you like chicken mcnuggets, and you want to keep it that way, do not research how they're made.

 

[Sempiternity]

Well, this is pretty common among young people. Usually when you get older you begin to appreciate more sophisticated tastes.

Haha, youngsters.

I thought that as you grow older, you lose about half of your taste buds?

So perhaps you're not quite "appreciating" those sophisticated tastes, but rather you can't taste them as much, and maybe that makes it tolerable/more enjoyable. I'll be damned if I know!

I always thought it was kinda cool. All futuristic and stuff.

Thanks man! Now that the dude of the week is in others will follow no doubt.

I only started it because multiple people wanted to be involved during last season and the low tier throwdown had no trouble getting players. I guess I misjudged the interest a bit.

 

[Battlecow]

So today I promised myself that I would not have sex from today until the day I surpass Star King in skill (not counting his kirby 'cause I cleverly made him promise never to play it against me and if he does he's cheating).

****'s 'bout to get real. Moves will be shown.

Also how is it that no one on the internet sells Captain Falcon costumes?

luck factors into both attack accuracy and enemy attack evasion, in addition to criticals, so im fairly sure maxing it out lets you hit everything in the game

 

[Battlecow]

Hate all you want

I predict 6 months max

 

[asianaussie]

make sure it happens by december

i want to play FULL POWER BATTLECOW

 

[Battlecow]

Heh

Already good enough to beat you, link main

But yeah I'm actually improving pretty fast (I think) even though I haven't been playing online much. I'm getting around 1.5 hours of console in every day. December will be time enow for a whole new cow.

 

[asianaussie]

maining link doesn't stop me from picking kirby

id be happy just to play against other decent players, played against queranus so much that he knows my habits inside out

 

[SSBPete]

maining link doesn't stop me from picking kirby

no kidding.

whenever i pick yoshi, he picks fox or kirby

 

[asianaussie]

i play link on DL just as much as i do fox against your yoshi though

and you beat my kirby anyway since i can't deal with this one matchup

protip: pick yoshi vs my kirby and samus/link vs my link, i cannot handle these matchups

 

[clubbadubba]

So battlecow, you full time controller now huh? I didn't think you'd stick with it, but you proved me wrong. You should go to Apex if you gots controller skillz. I'm gonna try my best to drag Star King along. Offline emulation show down in January! Then you can get laid while you're there.

Also Star king, if you are joining my league, make sure to sign up on that thread please and thank you.

 

[Battlecow]

Yeah full time

I think my hori's a little ****ed up though, I literally fail when I try to stand still and utilt or do a straight jump-uair, it always reads the slightest deviation from straight up as left or right; basically it's way too sensitive. Doing my best to ignore/play around it though, because I don't want to be the controller-johns guy.

I'll try to get to Apex.

 

[KeroKeroppi]

hope to see you there bovine!

anyone got any training tips for when im alone and i can only play console?
playing nines arent exactly productive when you know ever ymove theyre ganna make..

thanks!

 

[Sempiternity]

Something I picked up over at the Melee boards is to practice your movement on small stages like Dreamland. Play against a lvl 9 CPU or two, and try to just avoid them.

Haven't tried this myself, and it might not be as helpful as in Melee, since the movement options are more limited in this game, but knowing how to maneuver the stage in any situation can only make you better.

Throw in random attacks while moving, and try to cancel a move every time you hit the ground, while still not getting hit.

I find one of the best skills is being able to cancel a move and dash immediately after.

 

[KeroKeroppi]

semp, that was actually a really good answer. thanks alot man

I play on console by myself A LOT. I'll just play while me and my roommates are watching TV, cause they don't usually wanna play with me. Here are some ways I 'practice' by myself:

Playing level 9's is a lot of what I do. Not necessarily because its the best, buts its most entertaining. Obviously, you aren't gonna get much spacing out of it, so focus on the other stuff. DI'ing is good to practice, especially against computer characters that drill a lot (i.e., samus up-b, ness neutral b). Making sure you are getting your combo's consistently is also important. Yes computer's DI strangely, but just getting down the muscle memory of the simple stuff (like fthrow -> SH uair with falcon) is helpful. Not much point in edgeguarding a computer that won't fight back, but you can at least practice recoveries by getting the ledge every time (especially since you main ness right? gotta sweetspot that up-b).

Training mode. Combo, combo, combo. Get used to performing combo's that happen in the game. Consistent comboing is very important and one of the easiest things to work on by yourself. You will have to adjust for DI against a real opponent of course, but you should still be able to string together good combo's in games if you can do better ones in training mode. In addition to comboing, just practicing tech skill is very useful. 64 may have less tech skill than the other smash games (i'm actually not sure about brawl), but there is still a tech barrier you have to cross. That is probably one of the weakest parts of my game. I just recently realized I don't ever platform drop naturally, working on it now in training mode and vs. level 9's. If you look at malva's stream he had some cool drills for tech skill you should try.

Break the targets/Board the platforms. I really like doing these, it breaks the monotony of playing against computers and training dummy's and gives me a goal. And, at least in my opinion, it works on my tech skill. It especially helps with consistent tech skill because it takes many attempts to beat one of your own records.

so yea, work on what you can by yourself, mainly tech skill and comboing, and also DI. Try to find good opponents though, because as I've found many times after long breaks from online, there is no substitute for a good 1v1 smash sesh.

 

[KeroKeroppi]

thanks alot bro! yeah ive been trying my best get the hang of DIing, but unless im getting like chain djc uair by ness right next to the **** tent, i dont naturally thing to do it. soo i certainly need to work on that. and about training mode, i stopped doing it. i can never tell if my opponet would be able to jumfp out my combo.
im actually maining falcon right now. once i got past only doing the uair chain like a nube, hes alot of fun.
ive pretty much been working on little things. like, when or when not to use short hope, and to not have to tap z a thousand times everytime i do dougies dair.. (im really really bad at z cancelling that move for some reason).
i play console everyday by myselff, but fortunitelyy my little brother and diablo serve as good opponets for me.
i pratice my b.t.t. and b.t.p. from time to time. thanks for the advice bro

EDIT: i also need to get better at knowing when to tech roll as opposed to the original.

So perhaps you're not quite "appreciating" those sophisticated tastes, but rather you can't taste them as much, and maybe that makes it tolerable/more enjoyable. I'll be damned if I know!

You don't really start losing taste buds until you're like 50, and I'm talking about when you're reaching like your 30s. According to my mom you start getting tired of simplistic tastes and lopk for something different.

>implying Chicken Mcnuggets with sweet and sour sauce is sophisticated.

Was a general response to Battlecow only liking simple tastes.

I also think using that as reasoning for not liking sauce is weird. That's a pretty extreme example of what I'm talking about.

So today I promised myself that I would not have sex from today until the day I surpass Star King in skill (not counting his kirby 'cause I cleverly made him promise never to play it against me and if he does he's cheating).

****'s 'bout to get real. Moves will be shown.

You'll never defeat me if you're so uptight. I would advise you to have sex with lots of women if you can.

lifetime vows of celibacy should be kept private imo

First objectively bad and now this. If this was real life a fist bump would be in order for this kind of ****.

 

[ciaza]

if you don't get laid anyway is it still a vow of celibacy?

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

For Apex; I'm willing to stay a few days or so more after the tournament to play more ssb if people are down for that.

I think that's my confirmation for Apex hue

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

lmao star king swag

 

[asianaussie]

First objectively bad and now this. If this was real life a fist bump would be in order for this kind of ****.

how long ago was that lol

guess we're uniting in putting battlecow where he belongs (iunno im just following your lead on whether he's good/bad at this game)

brb reading 50 pages of social thread to procrastinate

 

[ballin4life]

greetings from chicago. here one night only, but I forgot my adapter so I can't take advantage of the 2 frames to galaxy =(

i play level 9 CPUs and just practice combos on them. it's pretty fun.

also battlecow:

cheesball and shooting star:

you'll never top me in trolling battlecow

 

[Battlecow]

w/e

I would take a vow not to masturbate until I was better than ballin'

But I'm already there. Wut.

 

[The Star King]

Bringing up various old arguments in which Battlecow participated (or just key words such as "thermite residue") is not good trolling, try again.

 

[ballin4life]

 

[The Star King]

Nice image. What's next, you gonna whip out some >implying?

 

[asianaussie]

why do we need to compete

im probably better at situational one liners
ballin's stubbornness is unrivalled and irks battlecow
star king is...i dunno what he brings

point is, why not a united front

 

[cheeseball341]

Can I join the fight against Battlecow?

[The Star King]

why do we need to compete

im probably better at situational one liners
ballin's stubbornness is unrivalled and irks battlecow

Because clearly competition is the only way to have fun. According to ballin, anyways

Get with the system

 

[asianaussie]

can't have an alliance without picky infighting

 

[The Star King]

I'm all for uniting with you buddy

 

[ciaza]
