I don't even know what the **** my avatar is supposed to mean. Am I saying that I > you? Would be a Battlecow thing to do

Basically that lol, IDK why I picked it.

Only now it means at smash rather than just as a person

And I love the **** out of calvin and hobbes, I own the complete and a bunch of other books and I used to read them CONSTANTLY as a kid and start every conversation with "there's this one Calvin and Hobbes where..."

So we both have appropriate avatars.

 

[Morin0]

I will get a new computer some day.

some day...

Spoiler

Never.

In that case, get off of Kaillera then.

Edit: That avatar doesn't work for people whose postbit is on top of posts rather than on the left (such as myself).

 

[SSBPete]

sorry mate, but this is an absolutely terrible way of figuring out who 'the best' is, you may as well ask jasper or something (this is a joke)

you aim for specific hits like DJC B-Air/F-Air and convert them to death combos easily because you practise them heaps, and TT probably thinks you're just getting random hitconfirms to kills

rom doesn't have that mechanised follow-through so he looks 'worse'

So me beating him most of our games still counts for nothing?

 

[The Star King]

Yeah I didn't think you'd be the type to do the 4chan ****. Where you at Peek. I > you.

I totally called it. I must know Battlecow so well.

Also Calvin and Hobbes is the best.

 

[asianaussie]

battlecow secretely lurks every single 4chan subforum, calling it now

So me beating him most of our games still counts for nothing?

he hates taking defensive players seriously, so i somewhat doubt he's trying as hard as you are

if it's that important to you, then you are probably, at any given moment on the server, the most likely to stomp a scrub to death \o/

 

[SSBPete]

that just doesn't do it for me anymore

thats why i wanna play rom and ciaza properly, for a challenge

 

[kys]

Found this little gem in an old Isai-Park vid:

You really can't compare brawl and 64.

Brawl has forward+B moves, 3x the characters, different movesets, and lastly, more depth than the shorthop>aerial>combo style.

I'm sorry, brawl may be mostly eye candy compared to melée, but it's a tier or two higher in combat depth than ssb.

But as overall games in relation to gen: it goes melée>ssb>brawl. Brawl couldve been MUCH better.

Ahh, the bliss of ignorance.

So Aussies, do you guys have any point of comparison with American players? Any idea how you would do against us?

 

[asianaussie]

boom dominated me and one match was enough to tell me a reasonable amount about sk (yay), so...im pretty sure our best players would be what you guys call low A tier (probably lower than everyone in your A tier, so maybe high B tier)

personally im around low B/high C (generous judgement, more like F tier)

but basically every respectable australian player would stomp the regular galaxy scrub, of which i played a fair few

 

[The Star King]

boom dominated me and one match was enough to tell me a reasonable amount about sk (yay)

I'm sorry but no

 

[ciaza]

lies and slander

i'm gonna go couch surfing in america the second i go on holidays

 

[asianaussie]

I'm sorry but no

you still came up above everyone in aus, why are you complaining

 

[ciaza]

Propaganda.

 

[The Star King]

Because it didn't.

 

[asianaussie]

you have two options

a) come to australia
or
b) calm down

it sounds like you just wanted to play me more :ibwc:

 

[The Star King]

Yeah, I did

I'm sure anyone would love to play foreigners (except aa)

 

[asianaussie]

if you had to play in the conditions i did, your hype level would die as well

 

[The Star King]

Probably

I'm going to Europe this summer but I'm probably not playing anyone

 

[ballin4life]

inb4 ballin kills that pic through overuse

 

[SSBPete]

So Aussies, do you guys have any point of comparison with American players? Any idea how you would do against us?

my guess, from what aa has said, videos and general disscussion, is that our best could probably hold up against the mid a tiers. i reckon players like jaime, kefit and sensei would stop us. needless to say, boom and isai would be miles ahead of us.

 

[asianaussie]

inb4 ballin kills that pic through overuse

it's already dead to me

sorry tank

 

[ciaza]

i refuse to believe a word anyone says until some american actually plays me lol

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

it was 3 frames

also, fun fact: Nixxxon and I had a pm arguement over what frames we had in p2p one time.

"it was 8 frames"
"no it was 7 frames"
etc.

 

[Pachinkosam]

its that spam oh god.

 

[Sangoku]

Probably

I'm going to Europe this summer but I'm probably not playing anyone

Where in Europe? And why won't you play anyone?

it was 3 frames

also, fun fact: Nixxxon and I had a pm arguement over what frames we had in p2p one time.

"it was 8 frames"
"no it was 7 frames"
etc.

Then Nix was probably right, as he always is.

DOUBT IT.

Although all I have to go on is a bunch of friendly vids you guys uploaded and a healthy portion of pro-America bias.

Assuming mid A is like Nintendude, Naaaaah.

Maaaaaaybe low A

prolly not even that

I mean, you guys don't even know who your best player is. 'f it was me in the running, I'd figure that **** out. Astounding apathy. YOU HAVE BEEN JUDGED.

 

[ciaza]

well kuz is meant to be coming to australia for the summer or something, if i can't beat him i'll admit we're rubbish.

and i'm dead serious about going couch surfing in the hols (few weeks) assuming it will only cost me a few hundred dollars - where are most smashers located, and who wants to host me?

cut that jousuke didn't come to australia like he said though

and our best player is rom, though he has no competition since kuromatsu and i are always on hiatus

 

[asianaussie]

if and when pete takes up melee seriously, he'll probably get better than rom after a couple months

 

[ballin4life]

in after ballin kills that pic through overuse

fixed your post

 

[SSB64-Jel]

If anyone Cares Diablo 3 hits open beta for this weekend only *time to kill things*

[Channighan]

Is it sad the only players here I've actually played are SK, Supa, and Mint? (that I can remember playing)

 

[Morin0]

I think it's sad that the people that regularly post here are mostly people you never see on Kaillera. I'm not sure about Australia, though.

 

[The Star King]

Yeah you're all lame

/won't be on kaillera for like a month

Where in Europe? And why won't you play anyone?

Ukraine. And I won't have much time/ will be judged hard by my relatives/ won't have my computer and would have to download PJ on someone else's/ don't know if I'll have decent internet (or if my grandparents even have internet lol).

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

star king you are ukrainian?

 

[The Star King]

Half. Also half Korean (through ancestry, not at all through culture lol).

 

[TANK64]

OMG that was a long read after sleeping for 14hours or so...

I see TANK faces o____O xD

Anyways, on to skill speculation! =D

boom dominated me and one match was enough to tell me a reasonable amount about sk (yay), so...im pretty sure our best players would be what you guys call low A tier (probably lower than everyone in your A tier, so maybe high B tier)

but basically every respectable australian player would stomp the regular galaxy scrub, of which i played a fair few

This is probably true.

my guess, from what aa has said, videos and general disscussion, is that our best could probably hold up against the mid a tiers. i reckon players like jaime, kefit and sensei would stop us. needless to say, boom and isai would be miles ahead of us.

Yea, I'm gonna have to agree with SK that those guys (A$, Nintendude) just might be too good- Ehh, that sounds self defeating. Ok, those guys are too good to assume without us proving, and I'm speaking for both of us here. Since I think I'm about there, but Statistics would put me in high B (For now >___>).

This is why FC/Apex is so important people!

Inb4 I don't go to FC.

it's already dead to me

sorry tank

D:

Then Nix was probably right, as he always is.

lmao +1 Sangoku.
That was funny, and I got nothing against Nix lol.

 

[clubbadubba]

My completely uneducated guess is that the best Australian is high-b. Also Tank I love you, but you are not on that firo/nintendude/A$ level, at least based on our brief encounter.

@Ciaza kinda depends what part of the U.S. you're going to. If you're looking for quantity of smashers, the new york/new jersey area is pretty well populated: Megavolt, valeom, jimmyjoe, sensei, maybe firo in the summer, hamburglar and nintendude (upstate). Prolly more I'm forgetting. If you come down to DC you get me, Star King, A$--and mario reincarnate if we can get him away from his wife lol. If I have a place by then I'll gladly give you a couch.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

based on our brief encounter.

I'll let your words speak for themselves.

Half. Also half Korean (through ancestry, not at all through culture lol).

so you have understanding of east slavic languages at all?

whoops double post. i forgot this isn't facebook or vkontakte sometimes lol

 

[clubbadubba]

well we played each other for 2+ hours. I played nintendude for like 10 minutes and could tell he was out of my league.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

So wait, let me get this straight. You'd put yourself on the same level as Star King and A$, whom you both claimed to be the same level as Nintendude, yet you just said you're out of his league.

Seems legit.
