Yeah ya'll, thanks for stopping by. I honestly didn't think that many people would make it. However, I think if I were gonna do it again I could see if we could use that common room in the middle of the hall on my floor. I don't know if this is something I'm able to do weekly though.

Also, are we smashing somewhere tomorrow?

So I was playing earthbound and it kept making this annoying beeping sound after I went through the desert. It made me angry so I cried a little then turned it off without saving.

Yeah my apartment is always open but it's a little out of the way. I can shuttle people there if you aren't too far and the green line goes right to loop lofts. There's lots of room but no furniture. Up to you guys, I have no preference.

One of your dudes got a sunburn or a heatstroke or something, just heal it.

Looks like we are all tied up. No one wants to make an ultimatum.

TP, if you want to play me sometime tomorrow, I'm available all day. I'm very busy in general, but I'm free to take a break whenever. You can use it as an excuse to get lunch on the loop or something.

Well, the obvious first response is "wait, more Pokemon remakes..... wut."

But I'm willing to give Game Freak benefit of the doubt on this one. They packed so much new stuff into FR/LG I'm sure they will do the same with these. I was checking Serebii earlier, and new stuff is there.

Dunno if I'll pick it up myself. (Never got FR/LG) It would jsut be a question of "This or platinum?"

Hmm, I'm looking more at Serebii and they have the Safari Zone this time, and special plot events that let you choose a starter from 1st and 3rd generations too... nice.

That said, Blaziken is my favorite starter Pokemon. Weird eh?

Anyone know of any upcomming Smash tourny's in or around St.Louis?

Any info would be great :)
This is a story about some people that played some games. This is a story about Melee and Brawl, Earthbound and Mega Man, Super Mario RPG and Tales of Symphonia. This is a story about Steak N Shake, IHOP, Denny's, and Imo's. This is a story that spans from coast to coast, over many years. This is a story about Geno burgers and Smooth lists and Corey canceling and Togamobiles and Youtube tactics.

This is a story about St. Louis.

Welcome to St. Louis! Please enjoy the madness!


With love,

*~* The Gaysian *~*




Presenting every post in this thread that was ever funny, meaningful, important, or ironic. Nothing has been omitted or overlooked.

Lol under the arch...Anyways I think I found an awesome place for the smash tournament, but I'm not gonna reveal it just yet. Gotta talk to the peeps and my oh-so-rude-and-lack-of-courtesy doubles partner/hostess first and THEN I'll say something.
Dang it, I'm not looking forward to having to play that Jigglypuff of yours (everybody hates playing Jigglypuff). With any luck Dekuscrub or someone else will do the honors for me.
Oh yeah, and someone played a MEAN Link in the finals...who was that?
Cool. I'll be there later on Toga. Besides, I'm learning a new character anyway.
I need to quit. Smash is ruining my life.
Your goal's desecration
Your soul's isolation
More dammed than some vandals in a shrine

You're a harsh apparition
Here's the strange declaration:
The world wants to be your valentine
you'll get an answer if you can guess which person posting in this thread is the female smasher you're referring to...read closely u can figure it out
ROFL zig said we should pretend to be lesbians so we can distract the other teams and win the doubles tourney hahahaha
DETAILS?! who used who and who slept with who? :dizzy:
Toga here! I shall henceforth be referred to as Quip! But I know the stench of Toga will still linger. Happy Smashing--hope to tip some nubs this weekend.
Posting in a Zig-Zag! thread.
so i herd u guyz liek mudkips
you don't mean that, i know that 4 sure, and don't say that you do either lol, hell i'm the one who got you into smash, preventing you from living life like your mother and grandmother...
Hey, guys, are we talking about Zig-Zag! with no pants in here? :lick:
lol, all Yoshi crew battle ftw
Dear St.Louis,

Having a wonderful time in Milwaukee. Stop.

Did okay at a tourny here. Stop.

Hope you guys get better while Im gone. Stop.

Pika. Stop.

-Zig
PM brawlpro and me if ne one wanna smash on friday (tommorrow). :). eager see some hometown skills :)
:teleportgDo most of u guys go to eurika for tourneys?
LOL, I wouldn't go to any Smash gathering that was by invite only. The greatest aspect of Smash is that you can read about something like this on the Internet, show up at a total stranger's house, play with other total strangers, and have a great time. There's an instant sense of community, whether you're in the Midwest or on the coasts. You guys that just play amongst yourselves and never get with other Smashers are missing out on this.
Can anyone in or around St. Louis house Me, Kel, Overswarm, and Jiano this coming Friday and Saturday night? It would be greatly appreciated! d(^_^)b

Also, if someone sets us up, I will promise not to post ******** ASCII faces in this thread again.
Lol, I dont really have a main....
I use Fox,Falcon,Luigi,Mewtwo,Ness,ICs,Marth,Link. I think Fox was my best but I rarely use him now
I'm gonna main Samus and Peach starting........ Today!!!;)
LOL we do play a lot of low tiers in St. Louis.

Me - Luigi, G&W, Young Link, Pichu
Geno - Ness, Luigi, Mewtwo, Link
Zig - Pikachu, Yoshi, Link
Toga - DK, Roy
Sam - Zelda
i m new to the internet just got it 4 weeks ago
edgeswipe and brawlpro, get on

www.aim.com

so you can

Smash players at Wash U? Good ones?!? FANTASTIC! Me and two other guys have just been playing each other, nor roommates in Village 4060. We would be more than happy to journey on campus or off to get some true competition. (Read: A good hard PWNing...)
Is this melee or original, I actually permanently put away melee, after several play arounds and realizing how much I don't like the physics in melee that much I just pulled the original back out.
Hey Geno, like the new look? Does it fit me? ROFL!
I love the Power-Glove, its so bad..
OMFG BRAWL IS ONLINE!!1!!!

>_>' No more traveling three hours to Smash.
so funny stories

i was walking home from class and this dude came up to me and he was like "hey do you play smash" which i replied "YES I LOVE SMASH!" and he said "yeah i know you! youre dekuschrub you won a tourney at SIUE!" and i was like "F YUS IM SO FAMOUS YEYUHZZ" hahah it was pretty funny. then i ***** his ganon good times

also
i was talking to this guy in my chemistry lab and he was like OMG I CANT WAIT UNTIL BRAWL COMES OUT I AM SO GOOD AT MELEE

then i replied "really!? ME TOO! i love melee"
then he said "yeah ive been to tournaments and ive won a couple in my hometown (which i think was Peoria IL) ive even played like the best guy in the nation"
i was like "huh.. who was that"
and he was like "KAMIKAZE FALCO OMG HES SO GOOD"
i am still hoping he didnt actually think kamikaze falco was the best player in the nation, but he seemed kinda serious...

sooo what are you guys up to? that St. Peter's tourney or w/e it is?
My first tourney!

100% sure....unless a family member dies:urg:
bow down STL for i rule you now!!

the crown is mine!!!
Not much too it. People meet at an organized event, meet, have fun, and beat the living snot out of one another. It's like Fight Club, but with less blood and dissociative personalities.
Kirby is good! You just have to rest on people.
Hehe, and lightning knee them. Don't forget the turnips and shine too!
Fox's down-b is better than zelda's.
cool

I'm thinking of maining Pikachu for Brawl....

Oh wait, Zig-Zag would steal all my thunder. Hahahahahaha!

Sorry, sometimes I just can't help myself
dude Soma was gonna hit skins with Macaroni Pizza.... wtf..... lol
Dear St.Louis,

The east coast is fun. I need to play more people though. I'm preaching of Toga and Geno, so please dont suck. I got 2nd in a tourny, but I'll try not to lose next time. I'll tell you when videos are up.

Stop switching all your mains. Practice your mindgames. Don't forget to wash the dishes and walk the dog.

Love,
Zig
If the commentary got recorded, that vid would have been 100x better XD
Yeah, I broke down and actually decided to use this so called "internets"...
I think I just hit 20 total posts with this one. That's a record.
Well Sam, I hope I made you happy....
I love you all.
QUIT JOHNIN ST LOUIS GET YOUR *** TO MSOP2!

are you serious? WUGS? wtf is WUGS? sounds like a gay bar

midwest ****s on people, version 2. thats all you need to know
Sounds like Deku wins, lest someone else has Presea or Regal. Anyway, without further ado, the Smooth List:

1. Car Keys
2. House Keys
3. Wallet
4. Cell Phone
5. Controller
6. "Bag"
7. Tales of Symphonia

Every member of St. Louis crew must always have these 7 things when moving between locations, ensuring that everything goes according to plan and is, ultimately, smooth. Lower on the list means more important, but things higher on the list can help you get things lower on the list should they go missing. One's "Bag" is an abstract term referring to whatever other crap they have with them; it could be a suitcase or purse, a hat or retainer, anything not crucial to smash but so important that you have it anyway.

Forgetting the Smooth List in any way is an unforgivable crime that will result in having to play Sonic the Hedgehog for 100 straight minutes... on PS3.
guess who is coming home tomorrowwwwwww

MEEEEEE

ZIG MM MATCH
Im not so sure I'd rely on marth1 and AOB experience to help you here...Ive been playing those guys since before you knew what smashboards was ;)

We'll see. Im gonna be home sometime next week. Gotta smash, its been too long. I hope I remember how to play people.
Tales of Symphonia?!?!

"No, but I did find _________!"

Everyone loves madlibs.

But no seriously, where was it?
I don't really know for sure if ill be having smash here yet.

On another note though. Kyle and I have thought of 2 ideas that we could classify as the "Ultimate Gaming Marathon"

This is how one of them works. You have teams that consist of 2 people in each. (roughly 3 teams would work). Each team picks 1 game to play and each team has to beat all of them in a race for completion, or just for time.

Their is a strategical element in that each team will generally want to pick a game that they are good at. This will give each team an advantage over 1/3rd of the challenge assuming their are 3 teams.

Not all games would be selectable due to some stand out reasons. So we are working on a list of games that would work for this. So far universals games like Mario and Donkey kong country seem like they would work the best.
Tis' the season... FOR SPEED!

The concept is simple: A team of friends tries to complete as many games as possible from a given list within 24 consecutive hours! Different games yield different numbers of points, and planning out who will beat what is half the fun!

Games have a focus on single-player completion in an open-ended timeframe. You will find no fighting, racing, sports, or other primarily multiplayer game here. There is also no emphasis on how well the game is completed, just how much. (You won't find Guitar Hero or DDR here...)

I want input on the point values, which ATM are all my own designs and opinions. I obviously tried to base them on a combination of required time, skill, and knowledge.

SMB: 1 The only game that may count more than once! (once per team member)
SMB2: 2 + 1 for A-D
SMB3: 1 for each fully completed world
SMW: 1 per 12 gates
SM64: 1 per 20 stars
SMS: 1 per 20 shines
SMG: 1 per 20 stars

The Mario games are designed to sort of the centerpiece or hub. Points are collected gradually, and people can swap in and out easily given that they are simple Mario games. Overall though, these are supposed to be the easiest points to get, especially the first and #3.

LoZ: 3 + 4 for second quest
AoL: 4
LttP: 5
OoT: 5
MM: 5
WW: 5
TP: 6
(All the latter 5 Zelda games get DOUBLE for 100% heart containers and items.)

Here we get more serious. The Zelda games are all or nothing, doubly so for 100%. They walk a fine line in difficulty, greatly rewarding prior knowledge but still being rather easy.

Metroid: 3
Super Metroid: 4
Metroid Prime: 5
Pikmin: 3

Hardcore speed runners will find a fitting reward for their show of skill here.

DKC: 2, 2 more for 101%
DKC2: 2, 3 more for 102%

I threw in the first two DKC games; easy points, but mainly for those who know them inside out.

Final Fantasy III (VI): 12
Chrono Trigger: 9
Chrono Chross: 15
SMRPG: 8

Ah, RPGs. Given the amount of time, they might seem like a bad idea... but people can easily trade off or even play other games simultaneously given their nature. I picked RPGs that I thought might lend themselves to this.

Kirby SS: 1 each for Dynablade, RoMK, and Milkyway Wishes

I felt bad that Kirby wasn't on here, so I added 3 SS games. Should be easier than average points.

Mega Man (any): 2

What is there to say? Harder than average, but faster than average points. Up to it?

Sonic 1: 1
Sonic 2: 2
Sonic 3: 2
Sonic & Knuckles: 2
S3&K Final Ending: 2
Sonic Adventure: 3

Pretty simple. Obviously Chaos Emeralds are rewarded.

Star Fox 64: 1 + 1 for all planets cleared (Double on expert mode)
Banjo-Kazooie: 4
Goldeneye: 1 x difficulty (3 for 00 Agent)

The general 64 lineup. Kazooie's points are obviously slow but easy.

MGS (any): 3
RE (any): 2 (RE4 is 3)

The general PS1 lineup... I decided not to list Tomb Raider.

Devil May Cry: 3 (5 Hard, 7 DMD)
Prince of Persia: 3
Beyond Good & Evil: 3
Splinter Cell: 3
Ico: 3
SotC: 3
Katamari Damacy: 1

Our last generation's general lineup. Nothing too crazy, though DMD is a jackpot obviously.

Ninja Gaiden: 4 (7 for Black)
Metal Slug (any): 1
Battletoads: 3
Contra III: 3
Gunstar Heroes: 2
Sin & Punishment: 2
Viewtiful Joe: 1 x difficulty (4 for Ultra-V)
Ikaruga: 4

The hard crew. Lots of points here, for those with the skill to get them.

Half Life: 3
Half Life 2: 4 (Episodes are 2 more)
Portal: 1

Rounds us out with FPS and PC representation.

Well? Did I miss anything, or do you disagree on some of the point values? Or just ready to play?
Also, so I don't forget...

List of games Thinkaman wants Geno to play:
1. Super Mario Galaxy
2. Twilight Princess
3. Super Metroid
4. Metroid Prime
5. Pikmin

List of games Geno wants Thinkaman to play:
1. Lufia
2. Lufia
3. Lufia
4. Star Ocean 2
5. Lufia

List of games that if we don't play Sam is blowing up Japan:
1. Earthbound
2. ...
3. Tales of Symphonia?
People shouldn't need threats to play Earthbound. Also, download the OST from Mother/Earthbound 0 and listen to it repeatedly. Then you can start singing along with the alt music on Onett like all the cool kids do.

...wtf am I doing in the St. Louis thread?
i think i just threw up in my mouth at the prospect of trying to beat zig with a low tier character... comon at least let me try with fox!!

...or shiek...
the tier list should be like...

"So Cheap"
Fox
Marth
Falco
Shiek

"Playable"
Captain Falcon
Jigglypuff
Peach
Ice Climbers
Luigi

"Maybe you can win?"
Samus
Mario
Dr. Mario
Ganondorf

then the rest of the cast simply listed as "crap"

except there would be a lowest of the low tier called "absolute ****" which would be reserved for ness because he is the stupidest character in the game hands down.
Thinkman that was AMAZING! How did we do so well in teams, it was incredible. Don't you think so Deku?
Fred when me and zose played you and think my first 2 deaths every game were from a rest!
Hey Geno and Kyle is there a certain date we can Symphonia it up? And is Josh on here or AIM?
Colette's not gonna play herself, I guess. =P
Like any other match I suppose. Don't get grabbed and Uthrow to moves.

COINCIDENCE!?!? *que Phoenix Wright OBJECTION music*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cn3rt0UYPw

I THINK NOT!
PROTIP:

Thinkaman is clutch, and his family is top tier.

These findings have been confirmed and validated by field-leading independent experts, who may or may not have been mind-gamed to death on final stocks.

Also, Derby Pie.
Sorry brawlpro but I can't make it to any 'fests for a couple weeks. I just spent all my money on Christmas stuff and it costs like $70 to kreep one. =/

However, if a Symphonia party is gonna happen...well, some things in life are too important to miss.

Merry Christmas everybody. ^_^
Yo, Its Legan the Link main from last night. I appreciate you guys lettin me join your crew. I learned alot of new stuff and i look forward to gettin better and stompin you all with link. I got a personal Vendetta out for Deku tho.
i just got back from a hellish weekend from my grandmas...
oh and if legan is coming i have a new combo to test on his... errr character i dont remember his name. i only know the top 6
I quit competitive Smash unless they start making Jungle Japes illegal.

Zig I forgot to tell you this yesterday, but I happen to have the "Goddammit what am I going to do about my problems" shirt. Achewood is sublime.
Being bored in Paducah with no one to play can lead to drastic measures... like learning a new character?!?

Nope, sorry, just kidding. I thought about it, but instead I expressed my lack of smash with...

...St. Louis's first (and hopefully last) smash comic!







IN A WORLD WHERE NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING IN THE FIFTH PANEL TO EMPHASIZE THE PUNCH LINE... ALSO HOW ABOUT IN THIS WORLD THE DOJO WAS UPDATED EVERY DAY OVER THE BREAK SO I WASN'T BORED, K THX.
lol @ geno in the last one. XD :)
After those webcomics, I think I should close this thread. Until I get a comic anyway.
touchette thinka .....man
I can already see the next STL crew battle:

Team "Notorious L.I.N.C.O.L.N."

vs.

Team "The Tenmen"
oh
my
god


hahah those comics are crude...
yet so true and awesome

the geno comic tickled me in a special way.
Just because you asked: (and that there's nothing better to do in Paducah...)



...and with that, I think it's high time for me to hang up my artistic ability or complete lack of therefore. I think I'll go into the late night talk show biz instead.

"TONIGHT: The beloved smash Dojo returns with the exciting topic "Gay Returning Stages". Super FlatZone will apparently gets its entire own entry understandably, after we cover "That Annoying Thing the C-Stick Does on the Menu".
LOL paper cut.... I'll have you know I had to go to the emergency room for cuttting off the tip of my finger. No L canceling for a few weeks at least :(
lol geno, i told u just use peach. no L cancel needed.
Let me be the first to say,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
^ second that (assuming you're talking about the delay to march 9th)
st louis > georgia
you can't influence your aerial direction OR fastfall when shooting lasers?! WOWWWWWW gg falco.
ROB is looking good...it would be hilarious for him to be top tier and everybody to start using him, after nearly everyone saying that he was a waste of space.
I can the angry masses now, in 2012...

"WTF they took ROB out?"
"If ROB isn't in Smash Bros. Anarchy, I'm not buying."
"Great, they just have to take out all the unique characters that the fans like."
HOLY CRAP MY BRAWL MAIN LOOKS AWSOME!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrdwXRJITfM

hola *****es....i'm back in the game for brawl where's da luv
ALSO MANGO WON POUND 3! I TOLD YOU GUYS JIGGLYPUFF WAS A RIDICULOUS CHARACTER!!!
Anyone want to take my $100 "float-canceling not in Brawl" bet? I mean, you'd be pretty stupid to at this point, since it's only a few clicks away to see all the stuff on the Brawl Peach forum... But still, anyone want to give me free money?
psh i dont want brawl neway

One time I posted opinions on the internet.

Toga combo video - Head shoulders knees and toes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys,

Just made a combo video from a few friendlies the other day. Hope you at least enjoy the editing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqrzCs4Mgis
We frequently invade Geno's place and play smash until criminally late hours, spending the entire time complaining that someone/no one else present has played Game X, where Game X may be:

-Super Mario RPG
-Earthbound
-Lufia 2
-Timesplitters 2
-Star Ocean 2
-Phantasy Star
-Some MegaMan
-Some game by Treasure
-No More Heroes

and of course,
-Tales of Symphonia

Also, teh Wizard.
Were any of u even considering goin to GS Tourney???!!!
YOU CAN WIN A FREAKIN TROPHY W/ A WRESTLER ON IT!! :D

i really like fox still though which is cool
The Tale of a Broken Woman, by Thinkaman

----------

Random walked down the dimly lit street, paying little heed to the rain. The rain was a light one, the kind that sets up tension for a meeting or confrontation, not the heavy kind that gives way to chaotic action and poor camera angles. Random did not need clues from the weather today though; the unfolding events were long in coming.

It didn't take long to find, but he almost missed her; the normally frilly and bright pink dress was covered in soot and torn beyond recognition. The front yard was covered in an array of boxes and furniture in various states, the house itself a wreck only eviction could explain. Did she have some real purpose hunched over among these random belongings, or was she simply hoping to avoid the public's eye? She fumbled with a suitcase that looked like it has been thrown into the pile, only to have its contents fumble out into the mud. With no sign of emotion she fell to her needs and began coaxing the mess back into the case.

This, Random thought, was a broken woman.

"Hey there," Random didn't look her direction as he spoke. As he waited to see if she heard him, or would even respond if she did, he lit a cigarette. He didn't really know why he would light it, much less why he had one in the first place, but it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

It seems the woman decided not to ignore the person passing by. "I should have expected to see you, you having nothing better to do and all." Any formality in the lady's voice had long been lost, any polite tone long vanished. "Come to laugh, or just be smug? This what you wanted, the misery of others?"

Random afforded himself a chuckle, "You're one to talk about misery." The unused, smoking cigarette in his hand was getting annoying; he needed something he could stylistically put it out on, like a small dog. "Of course this is what I want. This is exactly what everyone deserves. What else would I want, what else would I expect?" He spotted a broken parasol snapped in two by the sidewalk. That would do; the cigarette butt looked oddly in place on top of its torn fabric. "It's like the universe is holding a contest to see who fulfills my expectations the most."

"Oooh, did I win?" The sarcasm could not have been more thick, only to give way to rage. "They took everything! The down-smash, the double jump, the grab, the air priority, they took it all!" Her face was twisted beyond any feminine ideal. Could this be the same popular girl who ruled her high school? Could this be the same daddy's girl who had everything she desired when growing up? Could this be the same charming girl who everyone adored ever so much, everyone except that annoying Random kid? Her face twisted further into a snarl, "Why have you spent your entire life despising me?"

"Despising? Do you still understand nothing?" Random spoke firmly, but still gazed out into the street. "All this time I was preparing you for this, because the writing was on the wall. You were bound to end up here, the pampered floaty d-smash *****, and it'd be ten times worse if I hadn't been on your case every hour of the day. All my venom, all my rage was not because I despised... but because I cared."

The blond could not comprehend; perhaps the only person who truly understood her for her entire life, she had spent rejecting. "Why... why did you do this to me?"

Random looked at the woman for the first time "Because... You're my daughter."

lol guyz plz read/review plz leave comments I <3 <3 <3 u all!!!11
Thread over.
Dear Kyle,

You are an artist.

Dear Random,

Good job spawning Satan.
Wow.... I'm flattered.

But I want to make one thing clear, she's not my daughter...
She's a surrogate mother who's pregnant......with my daughter.
<Random> ...what? Condoms feel weird!
I can't sleep, I blame B-sticking.

STL roll call, who is thinking about maining who?

Toga's looking beastly with Wario, Legan's got both Links under control, and I'll keep up the Jiggs of course. I assume Sam is straight up Zamus and Geno said something about Lucas? Sam should at least keep up Zelda too now that she's amazing, and we should get Random playing Peach since he's probably enjoy it out of spite.

With so many characters and potential counters, it seems like maining multiple people will be more important in Brawl; I know I'm not gonna play just Jiggs any more, sure that's good news. Personally, I'm liking Olimar, PT, Falco, a little bit of Lucas and Diddy, and believe it or not, I'm loving Ganondorf. (It's all "Oh, I'm so slow and stupid and useless I can't do anything--oh, I was just kidding, you're dead now.") Pit's alright too I guess. I also destroyed someone with Falcon, which was nice.

Oh, and Random is going to hate Pit, I'm calling it.
i really love lucas. Actually, I can't find anyone else I like in the game all that much. Poke Trainer's alright I guess. I try to like Lucario, but I just can't... =( I haven't unlocked Jiggs, Wolf, or Toon Link yet though... so maybe there's still some hope. How does jiggs play in this one compared to Melee?
I'm maining Lucas for sure but it seems like (once again) I picked a character with a lot of bad matchups.

/sigh
Im maining fox
Im maining toon link. Watch out Legan. Anyways, melee is my true love, trance, girls, brawl, and CAKE all come after it.

/joke
dibs on Lucas, Ness, and Ike :).

But in other new, FIRST OFFICAL GENO BRAWLFEST THIS FRIDAY!!!!
come after 5 and bring setups!!

Also, I must agree though I'm late in saying this that Kyle's earlier post was completely amazing. (goes back and reads again.)
Hey guys check out this combo video Toga whipped up for me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4SFjw4mjAE
I like how you don't rely on youtube tactics.
i'm maining pikachu...


hahhaha actually no i'm not. I will be there this friday for the smashfest most likely.

i play lots of chars butttt i'm probly leanin towards marth\metaknight. (guess why LOL)
Hmm, bad news. I may have to cancel Fridays smashfest due to the basement flooding. Ill keep you all posted hopefully by Friday ill have it all fixed.
I don't think wavebouncing is gonna be tourney friendly since you gotta change the cstick control in order to use it to the fullest, which i think is gonna be banned.
I got dibs on Lucario and Snake.

A familiar announcer declared a winner: Deku's Pikachu was the best in the nation, but couldn't keep up with Zig-Zag's high tier characters. "What a tier *****;" Deku complained loudly to everyone in Geno's attic, "you'd never beat anyone if you had to use real characters!"

"Bah, everyone is a real character except Jigglypuff!" Thinkaman was known for rabid anti-Jigglypuff rants. Everyone just laughed it off. It was a close-knit group, who had played Super Smash Bros. Brawl in Geno's attic it seemed almost since the game came out in 2001. Now, after almost 7 years, a new Super Smash Bros. game, "Melee" had finally been released. Everyone was highly excited about this new game, and wanted to play it non-stop.

Well, almost everybody.

"MOTHER EFFING AIR DODGE!" Random had managed to suicide by air dodging off the stage. "You know, this wouldn't be as big of a problem if people in this game could ACTUALLY GRAB THE EDGE! 'Oh, the edge is right behind me? Instead of reaching around and maybe GRABBING IT, I think I'll just fall to my death!' Nevermind the airdodge itself BREAKING PHYSICS!"

Random had hated Melee from the first impressions of it. As much as others argued with him that Melee would be a much better game than Brawl, especially Thinkaman, Random insisted that Brawl would always be more competitive.

"C'mon Random, the new directional air-dodge adds a level of complexity!"

"No, it REMOVES complexity, it's a crutch for people without skill. Trying to attack? How about I DEFY PHYSICS and teleport five feet out of the way! Except you can't actually use it to dodge intelligently, since the game doesn't let you do ANYTHING after dodging, not even another air dodge! It's crap like this, Melee is all about taking away options and strategy to make the game have less depth. I mean, they took out almost every advance technique!"

"Pssh, you know we'll find new advances techs in Melee. Like, people are already talking about using the directional airdodge into the ground to slide, they called it 'wavedashing'--"

"Okay first off, that's a ******** name. Second, you can slide like two feet, BIG DEAL! If this is the best Melee has to offer--"

Thinkaman was getting almost as irritated as Random was. "They are even bringing back Z-canceling like in the 64 version; that's going to make the game so much more fast-paced and exciting!"

"Great, just what the game needs, nonpunishable aerials. As if Melee wasn't already faster than a hyperactive cheetah on crack anyway, rendering all thought-out plans and strategies completely useless, not to mention good spacing... Entire point of the game shot down and made into a button-masher... It's worse than Crysis..."

By this time Andy showed up and Geno suggested they order a pizza. "Where's Toga?!?" Andy's roommate Toga almost never showed up to smashfests, but the group always pestered Andy to bring Toga anyway.

"Well at least you have to admit that the character balance in Melee is going to be a ton better than the crap in Brawl."

"You're kidding? Have you seen Shiek and Mewtwo? You call that balance?" The new Shiek in Melee was widely-agreed as horrible: her foward air caused damage to herself instead of the opponent, and her down-throw for some reason broke her shield; the only good move she had at all was her forward-B whip. Mewtwo, on the other hand, could control other characters with his mind and make them jump off the screen. Plus, his smashes were faster than some character's tilts and killed at 60%.

"It just needs more time for people to develop counters and stuff..." said Thinkman stubbornly.

"Crews!!! Falcon vs. Luigi crews!!!" Lixi was always wanting to do something ridiculous. Geno told Lixi to shut up and stop playing ******** characters, telling everyone to stick to "the top four."

Meanwhile, Random persisted: "The fact is, Melee was not made to be a tactical and strategic competitive fighting game like Brawl; it was designed to appease the lowest common denominator of hyper little kids who just want to bash as many buttons as fast as they can.."

"It's not my fault if Melee is too fast for you to handle, it's still going to be played at least as competitively as Brawl no matter what you think!"

Someone interjected "Would you girls shut up and give it a rest?" Sam, the only male member of STL crew, often had to step in to put a stop to these arguments. "How about you both admit one thing you like about the other game and stop talking about it?"

Thinkaman thought this was an acceptable idea. "Fine. I like in Brawl how you could customize your controls, a lot of characters and playstyles are hurt by taking that out in the new game."

Random concurred. "Right, that was one of the best things in Brawl. But okay, the one thing I like about Melee is that they made Peach better... I've always wanted to play as her. Anyway, let's play some Halo."

omg guys sry i did'nt update in so long but my life was crazy and stuff so plz read and tel me waht you think! u r all so awesome and i am so glad u read my stuff1!!111
I'm kinda bored with Brawl already and I don't even own the game. If there are going to be Brawl tournaments I think I'm only going to play Doubles.
Hai guyz. Melee sucks.
Dude, I know right. Hey man, I hear you are a pro at brawl. Do you have any tips you could give me?
Sure.

- Don't trip
- Kill stuff
- Don't die
- GET THE SMASH BALL.
- And sweetspot.
You forgot

-Play Peach


I hear she's pretty good, and her taunt deals 30% damage (to the player).
I suggest avoiding activating enemy trap cards and trying to reduce their life points. If all six of their pokeymans faint, you win.
Good **** Null, ur peach is too *********ish.
Umm, *****s?
We had a similar tourney at Wash U. I won my side of brackets and had to go up against the winner of the other side in finals: A level 9 Wolf.

I am not joking.

If it restores anyone's faith in humanity, I killed him without losing a stock as the mouth-breathers watched in awe.
hahah but dude level 9's are NASTY
What is this? The Null Area Discussion Thread?
yeah who the **** is null
I don't see why people are so enamored with Brawl's so-called "balance." It's just a matter of time before Metaknight, Snake, and Toon Link start dominating.
Sweet I found the St. Louis thread

So I've recently been accepted to Wash U in St. Louis, and I'm considering it as a college right now.. so can anyone tell me about the general demographics around the area? Oh, and more importantly, about the smash scene? I'm from Norcal, and we have a very competitive, tight-knit smash scene here, I'm wondering how smash is like over there :p

Any replies would be cool
hey guys, i just recently came to STL from norcal as well
what's the smash scene here like?
we play super smash bros on the gamecube and on the wii no items plz also tales of symphonia imo

And Peach is banned.
sweet i call genus the genuis
What?!?

NO ITEMS.

LLOYD ONLY.

...this needed to be saved.



Indeed.
So... What do you guys generally do during the Multicultural Celebration weekend? The University invited me to visit from.. thursday to saturday I believe, and I'm not sure how much free time, or how much freedom I have to explore the campus/meet people.

I mean, if I get time I'd love to meet some of the smashers, maybe play a few games of MELEE and brawl. Looking forward to visiting though :p
We generally attend workshops about diversity, and how cultural differences enrich our community. There are also normally films and sometimes speakers concerned with ethnic or racial problems both in other countries and at our own doorstep. Student groups generally contribute their own food and activities, and on the whole it's a great time to meet some new friends and gain a better perspective of the world around you.

...or at least we would, if that wasn't the most ******** crook of B.S. I've ever made up. The only "multi-cultural exploration" most of the student body will be doing that weekend will be about the same as any other weekend, and involve dangerous amounts of both alcohol and genitalia. I've never even heard of "Multicultural Celebration weekend", but then again I don't spend my time reading junk mail sent to prospective students either. ;)

Cynical but realistic views of the politically correct and students at large aside, I do have several suggestions for how to spend your time here. What's your intended field of study? If I can't point you to good classes to sit in on, I can ask friends or just look some up on WebSTAC for you. Otherwise, if you are here on Thursday, the best possible thing you could do while here is go to a WUGS meeting that night. Friday you could smash with us at Geno's, most likely. (*Looks at Geno*)

DUDE, Geno, Stephen @ WUGS was talking today about how amazing the Olympia was and how everyone should eat there. I told them it was, indeed, awesome. We would have gone right then, but everyone else wanted Italian, like the losers they are...
Just wondering is the school more liberal or more conservative? I've heard Missouri is a conservative state, and I'm pretty scared of some conservative people.
Hi guys I live in florissant (very close to st. louis) i was hoping to find some people to play some serious brawl. Im not that good yet, but i don't really have anyone to practice with. So if anyone would like to shoot me a pm about a place and time to get together.
I am both gay and Asian!

I am Gaysian!

I LOVE ST. LOUIS! :psycho:
I've a plan.

Myself and a few Melee players...
We become game designers...
We create Melee 2.0...
And then we add gaysians...
The end...

Best story ever.
I think its quite obvious at this point that playing brawl competitively will be a complete and utter joke.

Flame away thinkaman :psycho:
ITT: HURRRRRRRRRR DURRRRRRRRRR. Also, DERP.
YOSHI FOREVER
I've been playing Smash 64 recently and all I have to say is I am actually pretty good with Captain Falcon and Fox o_O;
Hey guys. My name's Zach and I'm a freshman at Wash U. My friends and I play Melee in our dorm building's common room pretty pretty regularly. We're not great, but we've been beaten on by the likes of Toga and Thinkaman and we know the basics. It would be fun to play with you guys if you end up getting together this week (or any other week).

To Darkatma, an early welcome to St. Louis!
I think I am the hottest asian prefrosh to ever step onto the WashU campus.
brawl makes my head hurt after i play it for extensive periods of time
it's just annoying that nobody dies until like 150%+
it's annoying that there are no gimps


Someone hasn't played brawl for more than 5 minutes.

Oh and random that earthquake was weaker then your roy...and that's pretty weak...
Oh sure, tear into the low tier Roy for some giggles. You'll laugh, I'll laugh, others will laugh, and Roy will die a little inside.

Trying to fight on a professional level with Roy has the difficulty equivalence to stirring concrete with your eyelashes.
At least Random's Roy didn't forward-b off the stage in fright.
Lol, I don't do that anymore.

I'm starting to like Brawl more already.
Hey zig no one likes your stupid translations. Quit being such a meanie
This could cause problems within our community!
Hey everybody, Gaysian here!

I picked up Brawl today and I'm dismayed to report that my copy is damaged. I saw this one guy named "DBR" play, and mine is nothing like his.

I'm returning the game tomorrow and seeking a full refund.

More to come as this develops...
I will be back in town probably early may or late april. Are the smashfests now like a 50/50 ratio between brawl and melee?
As a rule of thumb, the ratio of Brawl to Melee equals the ratio of Thinkaman to Random.
Exactly. If a tree falls in the woods, and Thinkaman and Random aren't there to hear it, will Geno and pals play Melee or Brawl?

The world may never know.

Jeff, this causes for investigation, gaysian invasion style.
You know what that means!

SUIT UP!

[cue 1980's style montage featuring Kyle looking supremely clueless and Jeff wearing a kimono]
So uuuh what are the STL opinions on Brawl?
Opinions are like butts. Comparing them is gay.
Alan Lopez – Professional Gamer
An Esteemed Member Of Professional Gaming​


When someone mentions video games, what comes to your mind? Do you think of a few friends that sit around on Friday nights jamming out to Guitar Hero? Perhaps someone sitting alone exploring vast lands in search of ancient relics in a virtual world? Whether played alone for enjoyment or taken to a large scale competition, video games offer something for everyone.

Alan Lopez, a 20 year old video gamer from just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, has been fascinated with video games ever since he was a small child. “I remember when I was four years old and I got my Nintendo Entertainment System and I was introduced to PC gaming at a real young age.” As the years have progressed, Alan has stayed with the Nintendo’s gaming platforms and, recently, has branched to the other companies.

Alan has a plethora of other interests besides video games. He enjoys cultural subtexts, pop culture as a whole, the history of music, and likes panda bears. He has also travelled the United States in various video game competitions for Nintendo’s most notable fighting game; “Super Smash Bros. Melee.”

Alan began getting involved with video game competitions in April, 2005. Out of his group of friends, he was the best Super Smash Bros. player. After hearing about a rather large video gaming tournament being held in St. Louis, his friends urged him to get involved with it. Alan registered for the competition, but unfortunately, failed to advance that far out of his pool. “It didn’t matter how well you were at a game, you will end up choking from inexperience,” says Alan.

After about a year on the competitive gaming circuit, Alan had finally adjusted to the lifestyle and feelings for the competitions. The first time he had ever been able to place within the top five gamers was at a competition in Indiana. Alan had ranked fourth during the solo matches and placed second overall for team battles. The first prize money he had ever received was worth a total of $30. “Normally, I would pay $20 for an experience, but I had never gotten anything back. I was really happy to have played Smash Bros. and I used that money to buy myself dinner,” Alan recalls.

Within that year, Alan’s gaming skills had increased exponentially. He was beginning to stay within the top three players of the competitions for both the solo matches and the team battles. “The moment I realized that I was good at the game was when professionals wanted to team with me,” states Alan. He began to place high in national tournaments as well for the character that he chooses.

Alan’s character of choice is an electric mouse named Pikachu, which is most noted for its speed and the ability to generate electricity from the pouches on its cheeks. Pikachu is generally unheard of for competitions because of its mediocre power, light weight, and little attack combos, but Alan has been able to become one of the top three Pikachu users in the nation.

Alan’s name became soon came to fame throughout the competitive gaming circuit. His win at the Indiana competition earned him much notoriety and respect amongst the community. Many fans on online communities have posted videos of matches that Alan has played during these competitions.

A newer version of the game has been released for the Nintendo Wii called “Super Smash Bros. Brawl.” The game has entirely new physics, older characters have been updated, and many new characters and levels have been added. Since the game is entirely new, not much is known if it will become put up for competitive gaming tournaments. “Not many people are happy with the physics of the new game,” Alan states, “within a year, I can see the gaming scene going to the way of Brawl, whether some people like it or not. I am willing to learn the new game and take it to the professional level.”

Diary of a Mad Gay Asian, Part One
Mood: ;)

Monday, May 5, 2008

Recently I started reminiscing about my video game playing history. I started to think about it in a way I have never thought about it before, systematically and objectively. When I was younger and still a gamer I used to play any game that I could get my hands on. I never formed an opinion until after I had my fill of the game, whatever it may have been. In my mid teen years, after video games where understood by the market to be a money making product and games were being mass produced, the majority of them were becoming sub-par to put it nicely. After I realized this I started looking at every game with contempt and formed a negative opinion almost immediately about every game I saw. I realize this now and I am trying to break myself of this prejudice against new age games. It is proving to be rather difficult. However, having been in the higher education realm for several years now my ability to solve inner problems like this has grown. I have the ability now to analyze my problems and ask myself questions about these problems and to make progress. My goal is not to strip myself of opinions about new games. My goal is to continue to make these opinions but instead make them in a sheer objective fashion and to keep personal biases out of my decisions. It is impossible to completely remove one’s self from their biases, but one can still try. This article is one of my early most attempts to take a subject and critically analyze it to form an opinion, and in this case a prediction of what is to come of this game. The game I will be talking about is none other than the newest installment of Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers series, Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl, from which now on will be referred to as simply Brawl, cannot be fully understood yet. One reason for this is it has yet to be released in the U.S. with exceptions of a very few amount of people who have imported a Japanese version. The entirety of my analysis is based off of video, abundant on the internet, that I have studied and carefully analyzed. So as one reads this they should keep in mind that I have no hard evidence and that everything I am basing this analysis on can easily be proven wrong, or possibly right, in the future. That being said I will start off the remainder of this article by instead of stating assumption or fact I will ask a question, a question I had to ask myself after I formed my initial opinion about the game.

Originally after viewing game play footage of Brawl I formed the immediate opinion that “Brawl will not be a tournament worthy game”. I took my opinion and I questioned it. I asked myself, “Why do I feel that Brawl will not be a tournament worthy game”? This was not the proper question yet, other questions should precede this one. I tried to go all the way to the roots of this opinion. After several days of questioning more questions I found the question I was looking for. Instead of asking, “Why do I have this opinion?” or, “What does Brawl offer for competitive play”? I needed to start with the root question that is simply, “What are the factors that make a game tournament worthy”?

I had this question for several weeks. I could not put my answer into fluid thought but I knew the idea I was trying to convey. Finally, while in a conversation with a friend on the internet during a discussion of the Brawl game, in a moment of shear emotion I wrote in the message box my answer without even thinking about it. I wrote, “…; a game with speed and strategy at its core, a game that requires accurate and precise control of one’s character/s, where the ability of the player is not limited by the character, but where the characters are limited by the ability of the player, a game that consistently allows players of better ability to win against players of lesser ability”. Those are the factors that make a fighting game tournament worthy.

The next question to follow is simply a question to inform my audience of my background and how I came to this conclusion. My question is a simple one. How did I come to that conclusion? The way I found the answer to my first question was not accomplished through critical thinking alone. Since the fall months of 2005 I have been playing Brawl’s predecessor Super Smash Brothers Melee competitively. I was a late starter in the competitive world considering the game was released in 2001. The factors that make a good tournament game were found almost entirely in the game play of Melee. Before I go any further it is necessary for me to state that no game is perfect but, I will make the bold assertion that Melee is the closest game to being perfect for tournaments and competitive play that we have seen so far. Arguing that point would require an article all its own. For the sake of the rest of this article one should keep that in mind.

I spent over 2 years studying videos and traveling across the nation not only playing professional players but asking them questions trying to understand the game more than just how to play it. After years of study and taking what I knew and applying it and figuring out my own ideas along the way I understood why Melee was a great competitive tournament game. There are hundreds of small and detailed points I could make that would support the overall idea, it just took me up until this last month or so to produce a small list of general factors that accurately describe the important attributes of Melee that make it so significant to tournament and competitive play. Now that I have the factors in a list I can take the list and break it down to illustrate why these are the factors that matter. As I do this I will be using examples from melee game play so if one is reading this article and has no prior experience playing this game from here on out they will have to keep an open mind and try to stay with me.

To restate the factors of competitive compatibility they are: speed factor, strategy factor, accurate and precise control factor (the difficulty to utilize the next factor), freedom of control factor, and consistency of outcome factor. This is not as simple as it can get, this is still somewhat of an expansion of the factors. The only 2 factors that really matter in this line up are the factors with the subject of control. Having total freedom to control the game contains the speed factor, and the speed and control should allow strategy. This eliminates the first 2 factors completely. So why did I even state them in the first place? They are discussed and highlighted because they play a significant role in competitive play even though they can be easily categorized under the other factors.

Looking at what I consider to be the most important factor in a fighting game to make it tournament viable, freedom of control, I can take this idea and put it into measurable numerical terms. Before I continue on that, however, I need to explain that in the beginning before I was able to identify these key factors by definition, this was how I tried to justify my idea. While in numerous discussions with peers in the recent months I have tried to make this a point only to find out that simply in the way I had been conveying my point of view on this factor was not sufficient. I needed to find a way in my native language of English to place my idea into a more compact and understandable statement other than a 5 minute sign language battle and a lot of numbers. So in essence, what my audience is about to read is what my argument used to try to stand on, but now I feel that coupled with my definition of this factor, this has become an example more than just the argument itself and the end result being they support each other and it gives my argument 2 legs to stand on. This article is wordy to say the least so I will try to restate some things in order to keep the points together.

To further define freedom of control we can make a scale of numbers. First, I will go over an example of a game that limits control. In hypothetical game A we see 2 players compete in a match. Both players select the same character for the purpose of simplicity. Player1 has an ability of 300, while Player2 has an ability of 50. However, the character they have both selected to fight each other with only has a maximum capacity to be controlled at an ability level of 20. Is it not too unimaginable to see how this can lead to an unfair victory and loss? At this point the player’s individual ability levels do not matter, or matter less. Both of them are limited to the character which is stuck at a maximum capacity of 20. So in this instance we have a 300 versus a 50 and it’s obvious by looking at their skill who is the better player, but Player2 still has just as much of a chance to win as Player1 in these circumstances where neither of them can play any better than the ability level of 20.

Immediately if one questions this who has competitive experience they may discredit this example and make an understandable argument that even though they are still evenly matched, Player1 with a higher skill in the game none-the-less would still be able to use a more developed strategy, or what it is commonly referred to in the video game community as “mind games”, to defeat Player2 who is of lesser ability with less strategy. This would be a good argument that I would love to get into, however, that is another subject for yet another article, but I will still address this with a point I have already made. In my hypothesis I link speed and strategy directly with control. I firmly stand by this assertion. If your control is decreased, one’s ability to produce strategy is lowered proportionately with it. Less control means less “mind games”. Inversely, a game with more control is able to grant more strategy in play.

Now I take the game that is limited by the player’s ability. Hypothetical game B is being played by Player3 and Player4. For simplicity again we will say they are both playing the same character against one another. Player3 has an ability of 300, while Player4 has an ability of 400. The character’s full potential is an ability of 1,200. Now the players are free to fully control the game to the best of their ability and the contest is no longer in the hands of a flip of a coin. The player with a 400 ability in this game should, in theory, consistently win most matches against the player of a 300 ability. These outcomes seem a lot fairer to me, as they should to anyone. To tie this lengthy example together, this is what I mean by the control factor. A good tournament worthy fighting game is one where a player’s ability defines the game play. From this hypothesis of control stems the; speed factor, strategy factor, accuracy and precision factor and, consistency of outcome factor.

Melee is a game where several characters are so complex that it seems almost humanly impossible to ever truly tap into their full potential. The limit is set far beyond the ability of any player the game has ever seen. Melee is an example of a game that allows a player the freedom to use their full potential in some cases. Not all characters in the game are completely controllable, as previously stated Melee is not the perfect fighting game. Melee players have constantly been improving as a whole, the bar keeps getting set higher and higher and the limit has yet to be reached. Players are proving every year in every tournament that they can play even better than previously observed. Every year the tournament videos are faster and more complex and the matches even more exciting than the year before without fail. However, no one has even come close to controlling the game at its limits. This is demonstrated in a series of videos made by a player who goes by the alias, or “tag”, Super Doodleman. He slows down the game to a frame by frame state (one sixtieth of a second intervals) using special software called “Action Replay” and demonstrates just where the limits of the characters lie. The videos are shown in real time and are truly impressive to a player familiar with the game; to someone not familiar with Melee these videos will not make sense to you. Refer to the end of this article for the links to these videos.

Examples of fighting games that limit player control are a lot easier to name. One could take almost any classical fighter and identify how confined you are to every character in the roster. Games like; any Street Fighter (Capcom), any Dead or Alive (Tecmo), any Tekken (Namco), the list goes on. This does not mean that these are bad games. The point I make is that they are not tournament and competitive play conducive as much so as Super Smash Brothers Melee. This is the reason I make the bold assertion that Melee is the world’s best fighting game so far.

This is all the analyzing that I had to go through just to prove to myself that I had reason for my opinion and that I wasn’t just jumping to conclusions. When doing exploration into a subject like this with critical thinking and logic one has to keep an open mind to the facts and not “fall in love with one’s own ideas” (Keith Edwards). Ready with this open minded mind set I started looking at this subject not to justify my opinion, but to reform it if necessary. After my analysis I was successfully able to logically place Brawl’s visibly slower and more constricting game play under the “not tournament conducive” bracket. It has already been confirmed by many sources that several of the techniques that gave far more control in the previous games do not exist in Brawl giving the player far less control. My prediction stands. I believe that Brawl will be a step backwards in tournament play from its predecessor Melee.

I am sure a lot of my readers disagree and are not happy with my conclusion. I am aware I have probably made some enemies with this article. However, there is hope. All I have done here is based my judgments off of observation. Once the game is released widespread in America the Super Smash Brothers community will be studying the game play non-stop like a nationwide task force. If there is hope for Brawl to be played at a higher tournament level than Melee, we have nothing but time to find out how. So, my prediction is nothing more than that, a prediction. No one can tell the future accurately, we can only make our best guesses, and I am sure I stand along-side most of you in the hopes that I am absolutely wrong.

Ninja Detective Treppy: Free Agent, Costly Time, by Thinkaman

----------

Treppy slid down the banister just in time: The hamsters were saved, and so were the crown jewels. "I should have known it was you!" cried an evil voice from above. "Only a detective could have found us, and only a ninja could have stopped us! Next time you will not be so lucky!" Treppy simply laughed his big, booming laugh as he disarmed the villain's little red bomb disguised as a diamond and put it in his pocket. The Malignant Mistro might have gotten away today, but the orphans and the Gaysian Pride were both safe; it was a happy sunset once again.

However, not everyone enjoys sunsets.

"TREPPY!" The voice of the captain boomed when Treppy's giant grin walked through the station doors, as only a voice of pure bureaucracy can. "I have had it with your persistent failure to apprehend your nemesis! I have no choice but to aimlessly dismiss you from the force!" The news hurt Treppy deep, even deeper than the Scooby-Doo movie. He summon some extra Gaysian Pride to hold the smile on his face and leave with dignity.

As he left, Treppy began to look on the bright side and count his blessings. They might take away his badge, but they could never take away his Gaysian Pride! He still had his oversized magnifying class, his full wardrobe of ninja attire, and most importantly, his close friends. Heck, wasn't this all he needed to fight crime? Who needs the force and their paperwork!"

From now on, Ninja Detective Treppy was on his own!

Treppy began to think... if he was an evil villain, what would HE do? Well, obviously, he would try to take out the source of the hero's power! ...could it be? Were they after his Gaysian Pride? The Malignant Mistro had said that he would "not be so lucky next time" after all... He needed someone to help him guard his secret... but who could he possibly trust? He certainly couldn't as for the force's help... Wait a sec, what about his personal friends?!?

Soon, a variety of STL smashers were being shown the SECRET GAYSIAN HIDEOUT in it's hidden location under the Arch. (Little did most STL inhabitants know that it was built not as a gateway to the West, but to provide for the secrecy of Ninja Detective Gaysians.) Geno, Deku, Legan, the gang was all present and ready to serve! At the slightest sign of trouble, hitting any of 17 alarms strategically placed around the hideout would cause Treppy's watch to play a medley of popular 70s songs, or the theme of Family Matters if it was BIG trouble!

Treppy left his hideout feeling more confident than ever. He could finally fight crime his way, with friends always watching his back! He started to do a little 2-step number down the sidewalk on the way to his next lead, when he was interrupted by his watch...

Family Matters.

Treppy rushed back to the hideout, only to find all the smashers tied up! All except...

"Dekuscrub!"

The obligatory traitor character laughed his obligatory traitor laugh. He held his fist high, clenching something important, while making obligatory villain taunts.

"You are useless without your Gaysian Pride, Treppy!" Surrender now, while you still have some dignity left!

Treppy thought hard, then made his decision. "Only if you let the others go!"

"Hmph! I don't see why not, they have no weapons, and I out-tier them all! They can leave, as long as you stay and suffer!" The innocents left with haste, looking fearful for our hero. "When did you realize that I was, in fact, the MALIGNANT MISTRO?!?" Deku took great pleasure in his triumph, enjoying every word of his gloating.

"Actually, ever since you tried to impersonate the captain and claim to fire me."

"...what?" Deku was too confused for rage. "Then why did you--"

"To lure out the only person who thought it was possible to take away my power; my Gaysian Pride comes from the heart!"

Suddenly, Treppy vanished in a small cloud of smoke. Stunned, confused, angry, furious, Deku looked at the all-too-familiar red gem in his hand, which he now noticed had a note attached.

"I'm yours!"

-----

An explosions rocked the area around the Arch, though the monument to Gaysians everywhere stood firm. The STL smashers, knocked to the ground by the blast, frantically scrambled around looking for Treppy, nowhere to be found. Right as they began to think all hope was lost, Thinkaman noticed the Ninja Detective insignia drawn in the fresh dirt. All was well.

"Hey Kyle," a jolly passing figure called out. "Put me in your next story."

"Will do, Jeff. Will do."

guys i may be wrong but i think this is art wut do u think huh
Thinkaman...

*is yours*
Hey St. Louis / Clayton crew!

It's Will just saying what's up, I've been kinda inactive in the community lately but I played some games last night with Sam and Mike, Aaron, and Fleet from Brentwood. I'm maining Ness but I have a decent Link/Falco/Pokemon Trainer.

Anyway we had fun last night, let me know when you guys are getting together so we can play, hopefully I contend with you better in Brawl than I did in Melee way back when, haha.
Brentwood is closer to where I live than Geno's place in Ladue. If you guys have setups I'd be willing to go to your place to play.
Leet sauce!
You guys all paly Brawl, right?
Yep.

..syke ***********
Man I was out at this one chick house.
Ahahahaahhahahahahahahahhhahhaha.......aahahahahahahahahah lol rofls
wow [brawlpro], you just called your mom a "muther facker".....
So I finally got around to making a Smash Boards account. Maybe I'll play with some of you guys this fall. I know I will definitely be playing against Thinkaman a lot.
I cant believe someone made this out the blue.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ktaWyjSUihA
what's up guys, I live in St. Charles. Any of you guys still play the original ssb64?
not a smashfest if your playing one game out of three imo.
Hey guys, I just got back from Chicago/Milwaukee/Chicago/Toledo/Cleveland/Pittsburgh/Cleveland/Toledo/Chicago/St.Louis.

What did I miss?
Apparently nothing!
we better be able to do more than "squeeze overswarm in", for the midwest's sake.
hahah lol@overswarm comment

dude is a scrub
Using the word "scrub" seriously makes you look like an idiot.
future wrestler=scrub

money match?
You're an idiot.
Ugh I really need some Brawl matches with a human being. Kinda getting tired from Level 9s who can dodge anything a millisecond before an attack.
Wow I cant wait until I get my Snake up to par. MW apparently lacks a pro-Snake so i guess I'll do my best to fill in that void :)
The Legend of Legan, by Thinkaman

----------

It was a neither dark nor stormy night. The Forsaken Land was devoid of joy as ever, for the source of all happiness had been sealed away and could only been accessed with large doses of lag. Like any other night, I maintained a fantasy than traveling strangers would perhaps stumble upon my abode and share times of great merrymaking, but these thoughts were as foolish as ever. No one had come for several a fortnight. Perhaps then, my skepticism of the car that pulled into my driveway was not unwarranted. A figure stepped out.

"Good evening, Mr. Gambino."

-----

"Your Marth is probably your best character, except that Marth is everyone's best character, coming from Melee."

Rob nodded in acknowledgment of my analysis. He had still had little time with Brawl, but had done of good job of finding out quickly what worked well and clinging to those things tightly.

"Of course, you also play a good Mr. Snap & Turtle."

"I'm not used to Yoshi at all now though..." Rob confessed.

"Well, the dino has been drastically improved if you ask me. Tons of aerial speed, better hitboxes, a solid pivot grab." Joe agreed; he too was a traveler who had joined Mr. Gambino on his journey. He maintained a stately and wise posture that reminded me of a certain ninja detective I once knew. It was obvious that he would prove a good type to associate with.

"Make me a sandwich!" demanded Funk.

I was annoyed. "Funk, why would I make you a sandwich? Actually, why are you even in my house? Heck, why am I bothering to include you in this story?"

"Because I'm your best friend?"

"I don't think that's true grandma."

Rob and Joe had become engaged a festive brawl upon Lylat Cruise. Joe has selected as his mighty avatar the greatest of epic heroes, Link, child of the Hylain, Savior of Hyrule, Successor to The Hero of Time, Courageous Benefactor of the Triforce and it's infinite power. Rob was playing as Sir-Drill-Kick-&-Up-Tilt-Alot, some ******** furry with an eyepiece. Rob easily swept the first stock and took a solid early lead.

"How am I supposed to do anything as Link?!?" Joe was becoming increasingly irritated with his slow character.

I knew there was only one path to victory for the Hero. "To win with Link... you must channel *HIS* spirit..."

-----

As I explained who this warrior was, Joe's soul was filled with the drive to dominate his foe.

"He would charge his foes with swift bravery--" A nair caught Fox out of the air, and series of jabs punished him.

"--having room for neither rashness nor hesitation--" A series of perfectly spaced fairs pushed Fox across the platforms.

"--but making use of everything he had--" An unexpected arrow, a decoy bomb, a cunning up-b, a missing boomerang--"

"--until finally, the boomerang to dair." ...all the pieces fell together, and there was completeness.

Joe was astounded even more than Rob was. As if possessed, he had come back from utter failure with an unfamiliar character to sweep an entire stock off of Rob's Fox... as I narrated out the techniques as he did them. Of course, I have no psychic ability to see the future or control Joe's character. All I did was ask him to come, and recognize the style.

"Legan... thanks for the smash."

"...will you make me a sandwich NOW?"

"Funk... shut up."

THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE.
Kyle you've done it again. <3
Anyone who loses [in Brawl] to camping sucks, truly.
So are any of you guys planning to go to the KC tourney? or has FAST killed you all?
Personally I think Brawl would be faster paced if we actually implement the Heavy Gravity mode


Wish you were here​
Ayyyyye it's geno and random!
that is one gangsta M2K
and that is one bald random...

dude wtf happened to your hair man?
m2k is a badboy

dont be mean muba
Soma is what they would take when
Hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing against sun beams
Losing against fig trees
In your eyes

And I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes
See I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes

Let's go

When I saw her for the first time
Lips moved as her eyes closed
Heard something in his voice
"And I'll be there", he says
Then he walks out
Somehow he was trying
Too hard to be like them

Well I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes
And I am
Stop
Oh, darling, let me go

Tried it once and they like it
Then tried to hide it
Says, "I've been doing this 25 years"
But I'm not listening no more
And these friends, they keep asking for more
Oh, yeah
Oh, but that's it
Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away
From you
And she led me on, down
With secrets I can't keep

Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now don't you speak
To me

Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, your heart

So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools

One last kiss for me...yeah
One last kiss good night

Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
And crawled back to you

I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray myself
To anyone, lost, anyone but you

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When god sleeps in bliss

And I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone
****it, I wanna start training my ROB/Toon Link.../

Oh man, that would be so cool if someone in St. Louis knew how to waveshine. I mean this one time I met this guy who could and it was ridiculous, I was all "whaaaaaaaaat is going on". One of my friends thought he was putting in a cheat code at first, but I knew better, he was just really good. We tried to figure it out for a long time, but never could, because it was so difficult.

And yeah Sam mains Fox, she's really good with all those lasers and stuff. Deku is almost as good as her.
Sam is UNSTOPPABLE, her fox is the closest I've ever seen in person to "Action Replay" a hack software that let's you break the physics and stomp people. I can't even get her down to 3 stocks, deku beats her sometimes but it's rare and she usually has a couple suicides under her belt.

I've never seen someone ACTUALLY waveshine in person before, that's awesome that you got the chance Think-a-Man. I wish I could have been there!


P.S. If it's this friday that we're having a smash fest I'll totaly be there! and I might bring Treppy! or even possibly zig-zag!....is Sam doesn't come get him first lol
omg im so excited now but hey im just learning i can only waveshine in place right now but im learning, but yah fri. is going to kick ***. So any vids of these ppl u guys are talking about i would love to watch them
Lol, I hope i still have it somewhere.....

No idea on how many people are gonna be here, i've had anywhere from 4 to the entire midwest in my basement......

oh and also,
Sam, we need to fox ditto, I want to see if I can actually take a stock off you.
Won't happen Geno, and you know it. NOBODY can touch Sam around here, remember in Florida where she 20 stocked the Georgia Crew? and they have people who can "tech" play, I don't think you're ever going to get a stock without her suiciding...

P.S. ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!!!!
So is sam the best around here or what?
wait are any of u guys in a clan?
They have a clan called the Tenmen, but I wasn't good enough to join. :/
oh god if u werent good enough to join then theres no hope for me lol
Naw, I'd put Sam around second best since she has such a good Fox. Best is definitely Roger though. I haven't seen him in ages, anyone know if he's going to be around in the near future?
Does Roger ever post on the boards? Has anyone ever seen him actually say something? like, IRL or in chats? If so please link!!!!
..........
Btw I just installed Homebrew Channel today so if I do come over tomorrow you'll get to play a Trip-less Brawl on my Wii and I can also install it onto your Wii if you want me to. :)
MORE INFORMATION: If anyone says "omg I can't believe anyone is hacking the game what's next editing chaingrabs, nerfing metaknight?!?!" I will personally Snake jab combo you in the face. This is like turning items off, nothing more. Plus, I don't care. I'll probably leave tripping on by accident most of the time, because, tripping still doesn't matter.

STILL MORE INFORMATION: If anyone actually DOES want to edit chaingrabs or nerf metaknight with cheat codes, I will personally Snake forward-tilt your face.
cool
i might play brawl now
Also why the heck am I sitting around in an airport in Detroit?

This sucks.
Peach is a dirty pirate hooker.
So random...wanna play Brawl...or at least Trip-less Brawl....or better yet: Brawl with wavedashing, L-Canceling, with 15-frames higher hitstun? ;/
Guys, quick question

Which is better: melee or brawl?

If you could get back to me asap, that'd be great. Thanks in advance!
also future wrestler.... cool it on the roids lolz
Guys, quick question

Last night was amazing fun, thanks to all the new guys for showing up. Keep coming and you'll get better in no time.

BrawlPro: matches with you are always exciting cept for that 1 cpt. falcon ditto which for some reason was very...dull.

Geno: thanks for letting us destroy your house once again!

Deku: thanks for leaving after like 10 minutes! :p

Muba: thanks for showing up!

Legan: thanks for the $5 I stole!

Peach: &!%@^*#$)@*&!%$%@^#($)()&@^&!%$^@#*(^!@$#()(&*(^!!!!~
Legan, U CAN'T WIN, I AM TOO GAY ON LINKS.
Ken Theory Crew:

Sam: Female
Null: Gay
(Young) new guy: Gay
Zig-Zag: Fat (white guy) and Gay
(Long-haired) new guy: Gay
Lixivium: Gay
Genoblast: Gay
Null (imposter): Female


Edit:

@Legan: OOOOOOH DID I WIN?!
lol "futurewrestler" is a fool
So MMM are you gonna have a smashfest tomorrow or Tuesday? Cuz we're gonna play tripless Brawl >=)
BLAWLPLO LETS PLAY BLAWL LAWL
Also -> I HIGHLY recommend Brawlers to get the Homebrew Channel and Ocarina programs installed in their Wii, Trip-less Brawl is sooo good. It actually makes the game feel smoother.
thinkaman we need Jigglypuff dittos imo.
Hehehe, they start johning about wanting to play Brawl instead of Melee, you get me a yell and I'll show those scrubs a thing or two about that game.
Thinkaman: Do you mostly play Brawl or Melee?
You don't get out much, do you? =D
Smash today, Yoshi forever.
I've got smash withdrawal, and also I want to have sex with Legan's link.
Lemme repeat this again lol.

This code removes only dash induced tripping but NOT attack induced...so moves like Diddy's Bananas, and ROB's d-tilt still cause tripping...so yes this IS the sexiest thing you've ever heard.
Hope you enjoyed my ROB/Snake along with Trip-Less Brawl =)
Well it was definitely fun, I played thinkaman a lot and he kicked mah *** every match :(
btw, oh man, Ken on survivor is too ****ing EPIC.
Yea man we should have played more friendlies but seriously, you guys better watch out for my Snake, cuz he's gonna be beastly very soon.
Welcome to path less walked fred. It will be a long & hard one full of pain & dissapointment.
And easy gimp deaths. Don't forget the easy gimp deaths.
I'd make a joke about buying a TV for a smashfest, but I'm too tired.
hey muba

youre a weirdo
This is the post at which this thread stopped sucking.
Lixivium I was going to be nice about this, but after you insulting me three posts in a row due to your ******* ignorance I'm not going to anymore. I've been visiting these boards how long? Probably about month. Over that amount of time I've posted the following:


"I see just as many people trolling Melee for no reason than I do the other way around.

Melee is a great game. Only bad point I see about me not playing it, it doesn't affect me playing brawl or 64 at all.

this is ********. Some people prefer melee, and some people prefer Brawl. Both groups have their own preferences and they aren't wrong either way. Enjoy the game that you prefer, but don't bash others for having a different opinion.

There's enough people to support both communities, regardless of what game you prefer. I don't see anything wrong with preferring melee to brawl, because Brawl isn't really a true sequel to Melee gameplay wise it's just too different. And this will always result in people liking one more than the other.

Also, I just watched DSW vs. M2K on youtube, and it was awesome. It makes me so bummed that I missed out on melee."


The fact that you think that For one- I'm actually being serious in those posts and you're now bashing me for not playing melee even though I've said previously that I wish I had shows how ****ing stupid and childish you are. I've sat here and defended EVERY game in the smash series, because every game is worth playing. Next time you open your mouth, learn some ****ing reading comprehension before you talk you ****ing dip****.
Remember what I said about this thread and the sucking stopping?
On the other hand, you'll get to experience the emotional trauma of playing Darkrain, without having to go to Kansas City.
Title 3, Clause 7 of the St. Louis Smash Creed stipulates: "Every time darkrain's name is mentioned, Thinkaman has to remind everyone that he once KO'd him with rollout."

...dude, guys, remember that one time when I KO'd darkrain with rollout and CUPS was all "who gets killed by that?!?" just like when KillaOR KO'd Ken with Rollout at FC3 crews and stuff and oh man also I'm awesome.
Title 3, Clause 6 of the St. Louis Smash Creed alternatively stipulates: "Every time Darkrain's name is mentioned, Random has to remind everyone that he once KO'd him with a warlock punch.

...dude, guys, remember that one time when I KO'd darkrain with a warlock punch and CUPS was all "Darkrain is sooooo good at this game!" and Darkrain was all like "yeah, when I'm not getting warlock punched." just like when some one killed someone else with a warlock punch at some tournament somewhere and stuff and oh man Thinkaman is awesome.

Sorry I was a little late, I haven't been trolling this thread enough. looks like futurewrestler is covering it for me though.
Title 3, Clause 8 of the St. Louis Smash Creed stipulates: "Every time darkrain's name is mentioned, Jeff has to remind everyone that he once KO'd him with GAYSIAN PRIDE"
Norm or not, people don't like tripping.
Toga: Nice to see you again.

Thinkaman: I hate the way you play in Brawl but you're cool.

Legan: Your Link is still awesome and I will be able to beat you in the future >=)
Bair Bair Bair Bair Bair
Hey, I'm new here.
Does anyone play at Wash U? If so where & when? Where else do people play? Is there anything else people can tell me to help get me involved in this community? All help is appreciated.
Thanks!
1. Main a Low tier
2. Argue about Brawl vs Melee ad naseum
3. Talk a lot, but never actually go to/perform well in tournies
4. Play ABBA really loud at a drive thru window
i guess i will continue to be known as deku, ultimate tier ***** of smash.

(btw i totally picked up snake and GnW to fill out my brawl top tier skittles... SO CHEAPPP!!!!)
yay Deku the tier wh0re is at it again!

On a side note: I'll be learning Meta Knight in the near future!
marth is the terran of melee

fox is the protoss

that is... if you know about starcraft its a good analogy lololol
TOON LINK YEYAHZ!

Got any suggestions Thinkaman other than G&W?








FOREVER.
Also, Yoshi counters Meta Knight.
hey guys just letting u know if there is a smashfest at geno's this friday it will be my last one for a while...i got an internship with a PR firm in L.A. so im gonna be reppin the west coast for a lil bit ;)
omg guyz did you hear that ken is on sirvivor
Alright I'm going to assume that 4 people are going to the Indiana tournament next Friday.

The whole trip is going to be about 800 miles (going and returning). Let's say Toga's car is avg. 20 miles/ gallon with a 12 gallon tank which makes...240 miles/tank (About $50 per fill-up)

So for gas expenses may be up to $200...dividing by 4...wow we may have to cough up $50 each person just for gas =/
1. Your math is wrong.
2. Toga's car runs on sunshine and rainbows, not gasoline.
3. did u guys here ken is on sirvivor
also, random is awesome
I like how in Brawl they gave him his own spot on the character select screen; in Melee you could only do random by putting it on Sonic or Tails' spots before you unlocked them. :(

edit: also i herd ken is on sirvivor
Please tell me how we would fit

me
you
deku
MetalMusicMan
Toga
Muba

in togas car :D.
It's an extremely clever ploy that involves leaving Muba's body in Illinois.
...right after Thinkaman had been set on fire.
lolololol do ittttt

peace muba
Yea...love you too Deku...love you too...
wait.. legan will **** us in melee teams?

whatre you gonna do? up b? lolololol
lolll
doesn't matter, i'm gonna get ***** by the midwest players i don't even know about for stupid reasons on silly stages
Have you guys heard of this Napster thing? It's pretty neat, I can just, like...download Metallica albums. Without paying!
Dude I played Melee for the first time in 700 years and all I have to say is : DOCTOR MARIO CAPE AND BACK AIR FTW!!!!!!!!!!

After I get back from the Brawl tourney I'm soooo gonna play Melee it's not even funny.
it's impossible to emulate drephen and win.
I heard drephen isn't actually good, just consistently lucky.

It was a very reliable source.
I'll prolly not fast during these days or else I won't be able to give it all in this tournament.
If anyone faces overswarm, kick him in the balls and tell him to stop playing such a campy ROB.
OS actually challenged me to a 10$ mm ROB vs Link. Ill be sure to get the matches recorded.
So darkatma, do you think you can tell me where I can find that SMRPG hack?
wtf at you keep mentioning smrpg
Dude I dunno if I wanna play Melee ever again lol. Brawl's just too fun.

Look at M2K, he basically quit Melee.
Muba brings up an interesting topic; I am interested in how you guys think Melee compares to Brawl. We should talk about it some more, since I don't think we have ever talked about Melee vs. Brawl. That would be super duper.
Apparently you haven't been to the General Brawl Discussion forums have you? ;/
Apparently you haven't been to the St. Louis Sarcasm thread, have you? :p
Hey Legan, dude, is your dog free anytime later this week? I think me and her really hit it off the first time we met, and I'd like to see if I can take things to the next step.

I mean, she's a really great kisser and she's got a great body, but I also really respect her mind, you know?

Give her my number for me, will you? Thanks man.

P.S. I hope this doesn't have a negative effect on our friendship.
Tony (aka, TTT) goes to SLU, I believe hes temporarily in Africa right now though.
I don't understand what you are trying to say, or how it remotely affects us in the slightest...

Edit: Speaking of which, did u guyz know that ken is on survivor?
HOLY **** KEN IS ON SURVIVOR
I might be hosting tomorrow... but I'm not sure, because this ****ing cough is even worse now, I don't get it. I'm all like, gagging and ****. I think I have AIDs or something. I think Legan's dog has been sleeping around on me :(
Brawl isn't that bad you guys. Try playing it competitively. You might end up having a beastly character that may give you a big name in the smash community, like Legan and Thinkaman, they're the best Link and Jiggs in the Midwest.
like Legan and Thinkaman, they're the best Link and Jiggs in the Midwest.
best Link and Jiggs in the Midwest.
This word is wrong, or at least misleading. Try again.
I tried to read the shoutouts for WTON but was blinded by adulations of Legan and Thinkaman.

So did Chris (Toga) leave early again like he does at every tournament?
Brawlpro I love the way you play. Don't ever change.
no, brawlpro i love the way you play as well
I love the way you play too brawlpro!
i love YOU brawlpro
All of you, stay away from my brawlpro!!!!
I LOVE YOU TOO BRAWLPRO
PS: I'm sooooooo glad Sam's not in STL anymore :)
I don't know if any of you guys are aware, but the Play N Trade in Edwardsville IL is having a Smash Brothers Brawl tournament tomorrow at 3pm.

I have no idea how well organized it will be but the commercial I heard for it on the radio said that they have 8 big screen TVs... sounds pretty awesome.

Sadly I'll be working so I can't go, but if anyone wants to go, there is no entry fee, and the first place prize is $200 store credit.
I'd like to thank MMM for the $200 tip.

I just wanted to let everyone know, being an arrogant jerk, that I have currently made more money than lost on smash.
Seriously Kyle, do you plan on getting through 2 more years of college without having a phone that works where you live?
I may be studying All Saints University in Aruba at January '09

But right now I've got accepted at Ross University in the Dominica.


...what can I say...cheaper tuition and a nice island ftw...
(waits anxiously for Mega Man 9 to be released later today!!!!!!!)
Whoa, there's a new mega man game coming out?

KEN ON SIRVIVOR?!?
I will Muba-nate you.

On a side note, I'm going to be learning a new character for Brawl ^_^
Guys, I can't figure out how to beat Olimar in Smash 64. Backwards-wavedash to forward glide-toss-side-b is too broken.

Any advice would be excellent.
sup saint louie, chris u thinkin of doin anythin friday cuz i been playin eryday 4 the past 2 weeks and my tk skill is perfectly sharp atm, and not wit just fox but with falcon, marth, falco, and every other *****.
OVER 9000 SON
mindtrix > tk skill, therefore not playing > playing....this is just a theory it is not perfect
hey well i'm different, u know how rock lee has no ninjustsu but he makes up for it by having crazy taijutsu, well i don't have many mindgames, so i make up for it by tk skill!
Dear Geno,

I made someone buy and play Super Mario RPG today.

You're welcome,

Thinkaman
i miss u guys :'( LA is big and strange...and theres too many mexicans
Hmmmm...dunno why but I find that statement funny...
Youre Too Many Mexicans
"VEGETA! What does the scouter say about the number of Mexicans?"

"It says the unrestricted flow of economic capital extends to labor under a fondation of supply-side economics!"

"...I think you're doing it wrong Vegeta."
The fact that someone had to in some way search to find that photo in order for it to be posted here...

...greatly bothers me.
I guess fasting doesn't get me sick.
I LIKE POTATOEs!
Crap, he forgot his pills again...
So assuming that MLG is going to have a huge Brawl tournament in the near future, this should motivate a lot of people to get even better at the game.
I'd like to try to get ready for the MLG '09 Circuit before going to Aruba.
Thinkaman, I would like to arrange a battle with you. We will battle till dawn in the game super smash brothers brawl (and melee). I am sooo good now with G&W now because no one can get through my sausage attack! I will arrange a battle this weekend if you are up for it. Dont forget to PM me so we can do battle.


battle.
Hey everyone, let's play...

What's the Deal with Geno?!?

What explains Geno's previous nonsensical post?

A) Cranial Injury
B) Drunk
C) Account Hijack
D) Mega Man 9 Overdose
E) omg did u guyz here that ken on sirvivor omg
F) Sister on Computer
G) GAYSIAN INVASION
H) Yoshi Forever

Guess correctly and WIN!
Yoshi forever
Yefim Bronfman doing Rachmaninoff's 3rd at the Symphony tonight, biotches. It's gonna be ill.

Edit: it was
Hay guys, I think we should compare the pros and cons of Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

That would be super.
I Will Beat You In Both Games

Shut Up
My video game can beat up your video game.
negro please
10negros
Perhaps you two should do battle.
Legan's signature has quite a lot of praise about his Link.
So Kyle, the jiggs is still pretty **** amazing, surprised the **** out of me, I figured you would've migrated to like Pokemon Trainer or something.
...wait.

You think that, because my character is considered low tier, I would have migrated to Pokemon Trainer?

10cookies for the first person to find the problem here.


Close topic.
Wow Deku just got 4 stocked by a police officer.
Im Mr. Myagi and the socal links are the ninja kids. They cant surpass their teacher :D
I play Ganondorf now. **** Doc.
At least in brawl it's easy not to get hit.
I go home for one weekend and the land of the arch descends into chaos...
Omfg I tried the wavedash code in my Wii and I CAN WAVEDASH IN BRAWL 1337!!!!!!!
Like I said...once we hack it into Melee 2.0...
naw no one's gonna wanna play that
Muba, I have no interest in playing that hacked version of Brawl at my smashfest at all, to be honest with you.


Also, your mother is fat and ugly and smells bad and all of the towns people take turns violating her.

(not insinuating anything)
me neither obviously
to brawl players it looks really dumb
and to melee-ers it looks like watered down melee
So yea I'm gonna try out Pit today and see how bad I can annoy you guys tonight.
So it seems like Brawl has wavedash and L-cancel as of now. Not exactly like Melee due to the difference in physics but the game is a lot more fun and technical. Once you guys come back from the KC tourney I recommend trying out this hacked version of Brawl at least once. It's awesome.
Hey guys, do you think love can bloom even on the battlefield?

Any advice would be excellent.
I shinespiked m2k =D
Hey guys, I found a 18 year old girl on campus who can keep up with me in melee. Is this awesome y/n
Oh-ho, I'd like to use the C-Stick on that one! Ahahaha, ah ha ha... ha... ha ha.. hahaha... hah... ... .... ha... ... .... heh.... heh heh.... ... .... .... ...... mmmm.....

...



....


.....


Yeah.... sorry.
Also Geno... BRING ME MY MELEE DISC BACK.

Contrary to popular belief, I like that game too ya know.
The fight is on!
Prepare yourself!
Come on!
Show your moves!
What's the matter, scared?
You'll get no sympathy from me.
Aw... I win.
Too easy!
I had a dream last night that me and my roommate for some reason went to Mew2King's house and played him in Melee. We got destroyed, and then we played him 2v1, and thought we were winning, but in reality he had just fallen asleep because playing us was so boring.
I would have thought it'd be the other way around. I can't imagine anything more boring than playing someone who does everything perfectly. This is why I do dumb **** when I play.
Good ole' Lixi, not playing perfectly just because he loves us. :)
Luigi is level 9, but Yoshi is FOREVER.
lol at muba teaming with a computer.
Level 9 Wigi for top tier.
Geno, you still have my copy of Melee.
Speaking of Pokemon, I'd like to get back into the Pokemon TCG league.
Why is that link *not* the Pokerap?
Who wants MK gone?
Also, if his ban becomes ratified, would you guys still use him.
You guys should come to our tournament in Kirksville at Truman State University. Check out the thread. /spam
ok well yea, love, peace, and hair greaseeeeee stl.
talking about brawl is like talking about sexual frustration
hahaha whatttttt
Geno, you *still* have my Melee disc.
brawl is a teaser for the real deal, melee
=]
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
Brawlpro is too good lmao ^___^
So...who wants to play Brawl+ with me? It's got wavedashing, no tripping, added gravity, and added hitstun :p

I promise that you'll be able to combo more in Brawl now.
ummm why not just play melee if youre gonna do that lol
wow we got some mouthy mofos in this thread now!
But seriously dude try out Brawl+

It's like 64 and Melee put together.
I'm sure it'll be interesting and possibly fun but it'll still be an abomination.
Every time someone says "Brawl+", I kill a kitten.

Brawl with Melee-style hacks is about as much fun as playing High-Gravity Metal Bunny Ears Brawl. It's actually pretty fun, but you realize that it's also pretty ******** and any attempt to take it seriously is prone to causing brain damage.
This one time, I pooped George Washington... it was awesome.
hahaha omg thinkaman said circlejerk yesss!!!
LOL pwned by girlfriend
cmon i need to **** you back
tell you the truth, i have nothing against brawl. I think i just have something against **************.
Germ: Winner of every smash tourny he's ever entered and most influential player to ever touch a controller since 2008
REMINDER: Geno.....
Also do you guys play mostly Melee or Brawl?
Mostly SMRPG and Mega Man 9.
*Lion King theme song*
Is Ken still on Survivor? lol
i actually just got done watching survivor, ken was beastin bein a provider n ****
Brawlpro, are you actually trying to learn ICs in brawl now? lol Im just about to give them up I think. CGs are fun, by desyncing is more luck than skill it seems and I seriously hate nana so ******* much...
i was, but then stoped cuz i'm a grown-lookin 14 yr old and i had some stupid stuff 2 do.
Wtf? You're only 14? I could have sworn you told me you were 16.

****, I'm a year older then you and you look 10 years older then me >: O
i think bhlmro stole brawlpro's youth
bhlmro looks like, super young, and brawlpro looks like.. 25
wtf brawlpro is 14? he looked older then me. i actually watched there battles and got really connfused seeing this kid named bear looking so young, and brawl pro looking so old, i thought you guys mixed the names up.
I was the guy who had the rocket ship as a shirt.
Brawlpro I think you were 14 when I first met you...two years ago.
Brawlpro Im actually starting to play melee more than once a month and I got to say, Im still 100% sure ill **** your fox. I miss those days D:
I can't seem to recall what days your talking bout sir.

corey hold the jokes till 4/1 man.
Legan is amazing. Just reserved seats for his upcoming movie on Ticketmaster.
count me in too
Oh crap, when does it come out? I missed the last newsletter... Can I sign up to get it by email?
:D I hate you all
But we loooooove you..... *wink wink*
I've been noticing Brawl is just getting so...limiting lately. I'm just not able to move around much nor space flexibly as I can in Melee....(heh one of the reasons why I think it would be a nice idea to support Brawl+) >_>
I was in the shower about 10 minutes ago and thought of this thread!


With love,
The Gaysian


P.S.

YOSHI FOREVER
I guarantee you her team is made of six Pikachus.
She's that creepy trainer that every Pokemon game has, that is dressed in a Pikachu outfit, with numerous Pikachu's, and then talk's like a Pikachu.

Zig, where has she been all your life?
what the

The last thing I need in my life is more girls right now. Even pikachu girls. I should facebook you guys my dorm room door so you can see the umpteen signs I have from random girls around campus. Apparently yoshi keychains are all the rage
I humbly request you to just try this Hacked Brawl with me.
Need smash today
But no one has ever played smash on sunday :o
The hell they havent. I know at least one of you tourney ***s are free today
i only brawlpro'd 5 times last night
We're definitely using Melee as our backbone idea for the making of Brawl+
Please host tonight cuz I want to spend more time caressing your sofa and watching Seth's "wtf" expression.
In St. Louis, Captain Falcon is GOD tier.

bloodninja: Ok baby, we got to hurry, I don't know how long I can keep it ready for you.
j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u.
bloodninja: A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure.
j_gurli3: haha, ok lets go.
j_gurli3: i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck.
bloodninja: I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory.
j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on.
j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts.
j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game.
bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ***.
j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious.
bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ***.
bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet.
j_gurli3: thats it.
bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn.
bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now
The tourny was sponsored by some hot dog company. I ate so many hot dogs, guys.

This thread sure went down the toilet over the past few pages. It's time for me to fix that:



There, this thread is now back to usual STL quality.

Attention K-Mart shoppers, TALES OF SYMPHONIA 2 is out. That is all.
Kyle if you wanna bring ToS2 that would rock.
OMG Boshi!!!
And OMG Boshi again!!!
John Galt would destroy all of us in Brawl anyway, so I'm just gonna go over here and laugh with Ripple now.
Who is John Galt? :laugh:
For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing -- you who dread knowledge -- I am the man who will now tell you.

You have heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis. You have said it yourself, half in fear, half in hope that the words had no meaning. You have cried that man's sins are destroying the world and you have cursed human nature for its unwillingness to practice the virtues you demanded. Since virtue, to you, consists of sacrifice, you have demanded more sacrifices at every successive disaster.

In the name of a return to morality, you have sacrificed all those evils, which you held as the cause of your plight. You have sacrificed justice to mercy. You have sacrificed independence to unity. You have sacrificed reason to faith. You have sacrificed wealth to need. You have sacrificed self-esteem to self-denial. You have sacrificed happiness to duty.

You have destroyed all that which you held to be evil and achieved all that which you held to be good. Why, then, do you shrink in horror from the sight of the world around you? That world is not the product of your sins; it is the product and the image of your virtues. It is your moral ideal brought into reality in its full and final perfection.

You have fought for it, you have dreamed of it, and you have wished it, and I-I am the man who has granted you your wish.

Your ideal had an implacable enemy, which your code of morality was designed to destroy. I have withdrawn that enemy. I have taken it out of your way and out of your reach. I have removed the source of all those evils you were sacrificing one by one. I have ended your battle. I have stopped your motor. I have deprived your world of man's mind.

Men do not live by the mind, you say? I have withdrawn those who do. The mind is impotent, you say? I have withdrawn those whose mind isn't. There are values higher than the mind, you say? I have withdrawn those for whom there aren't.

While you were dragging to your sacrificial altars the men of justice, of independence, of reason, of wealth, of self-esteem -- I beat you to it, I reached them first. I told them the nature of the game you were playing and the nature of that moral code of yours, which they had been too innocently generous to grasp. I showed them the way to live by another morality-mine. It is mine that they chose to follow.

All the men who have vanished, the men you hated, yet dreaded to lose, it is I who have taken them away from you. Do not attempt to find us. We do not choose to be found. Do not cry that it is our duty to serve you. We do not recognize such duty. Do not cry that you need us. We do not consider need a claim. Do not cry that you own us. You don't. Do not beg us to return. We are on strike, we, the men of the mind.

We are on strike against self-immolation. We are on strike against the creed of unearned rewards and unrewarded duties. We are on strike against the dogma that the pursuit of one's happiness is evil. We are on strike against the doctrine that life is guilt.

There is a difference between our strike and all those you've practiced for centuries: our strike consists, not of making demands, but of granting them. We are evil, according to your morality. We have chosen not to harm you any longer. We are useless, according to your economics. We have chosen not to exploit you any longer. We are dangerous and to be shackled, according to your politics. We have chosen not to endanger you, nor to wear the shackles any longer. We are only an illusion, according to your philosophy. We have chosen not to blind you any longer and have left you free to face reality -- the reality you wanted, the world as you see it now, a world without mind.

We have granted you everything you demanded of us, we who had always been the givers, but have only now understood it. We have no demands to present to you, no terms of bargain about, no compromise to reach. You have nothing to offer us. We do not need you.

Are you now crying: No, this was not what you wanted? A mindless world of ruins was not your goal? You did not want us to leave you? You moral cannibals, I know that you've always known what it was that you wanted. But your game is up, because now we know it, too.

Through centuries of scourges and disasters, brought about by your code of morality, you have cried that your code had been broken, that the scourges were punishment for breaking it, that men were too weak and too selfish to spill all the blood it required. You ****ed man, you ****ed existence, you ****ed this earth, but never dared to question your code.

Your victims took the blame and struggled on, with your curses as reward for their martyrdom-while you went on crying that your code was noble, but human nature was not good enough to practice it. And no one rose to ask the question: Good? -by what standard?

You wanted to know John Galt's identity. I am the man who has asked that question.

Yes, this is an age of moral crisis. Yes, you are bearing punishment for your evil. But it is not man who is now on trial and it is not human nature that will take the blame. It is your moral code that's through, this time. Your moral code has reached its climax, the blind alley at the end of its course. And if you wish to go on living, what you now need is not to return to morality -- you who have never known any -- but to discover it.

You have heard no concepts of morality but the mystical or the social. You have been taught that morality is a code of behavior imposed on you by whim, the whim of a supernatural power or the whim of society, to serve God's purpose or your neighbor's welfare, to please an authority beyond the grave or else next door -- but not to serve your life or pleasure.

Your pleasure, you have been taught, is to be found in immorality, your interests would best be served by evil, and any moral code must be designed not for you, but against you, not to further your life, but to drain it.

For centuries, the battle of morality was fought between those who claimed that your life belongs to God and those who claimed that it belongs to your neighbors -- between those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of ghosts in heaven and those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of incompetents on earth. And no one came to say that your life belongs to you and that the good is to live it.

Both sides agreed that morality demands the surrender of your self-interest and of your mind, that the moral and the practical are opposites, that morality is not the province of reason, but the province of faith and force. Both sides agreed that no rational morality is possible, that there is no right or wrong in reason -- that in reason there's no reason to be moral.

Whatever else they fought about, it was against man's mind that all your moralists have stood united. It was man's mind that all their schemes and systems were intended to despoil and destroy. Now choose to perish or to learn that the anti-mind is the anti-life.

Man's mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. He cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. He cannot dig a ditch -- or build a cyclotron -- without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. To remain alive, he must think.

But to think is an act of choice. The key to what you so recklessly call "human nature", the open secret you live with, yet dread to name, is the fact that man is a being of volitional consciousness. Reason does not work automatically; thinking is not a mechanical process; the connections of logic are not made by instinct. The function of your stomach, lungs or heart is automatic; the function of your mind is not. In any hour and issue of your life, you are free to think or to evade that effort. But you are not free to escape from your nature, from the fact that reason is your means of survival-so that for you, who are a human being, the question "to be or not to be" is the question "to think or not to think."

In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title.

Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.

But to win it requires your total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is a sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence of that which is man: for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the Morality of Life and that yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth.

You will win when you are ready to pronounce the oath I have taken at the start of my battle -- and for those who wish to know the day of my return, I shall now repeat it to the hearing of the world:

"I swear -- by my life and my love of it -- that I will never smash for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to smash for mine."
Actually No, As A Matter Of Fact, The Original 150 Pokemon Sucked, by Thinkaman

----------

As soon as anyone brings up Pokemon, it is inevitable. Call it Golduck's Law: Someone just has to chime in, in a nasal voice, "Well, personally I think the original 150 Pokemon were the best."

No, actually, you only think that because you don't know or want to admit that you know anything about Pokemon beyond saying "Hey guys, I grew up in the 90s too, please include me in this conversation!" The first generation of Pokemon introduced a lot of innovative concept that had never before been used in RPGs (and have even caught on in other mainstream RPGs today), but was plagued by balance and variety issues on top of repetitive and slow gameplay.

The original 150 was full of cool character designs, don't get me wrong: we are talking about the games Red and Blue vs. the sequels. The characters themselves are great and obviously more than deserved to be carried over into the future generations, but when looked at as a whole the first games fell flat compared to what the future additions supplied. Let's take a look:

- There's only one line of guys each for Dragon and Ghost.
- Poison and Bug were useless, while Bug, Ghost, and Dragon had no real attacks.
- Nothing beat Psychic.
- The unified special stat broke the mechanics of the game. I can haz Amnesia?
- Mewtwo was downright absurd, to the point of his existence being a funny joke.
- The AI was pitiful, the main quest was easy, and the Elite Four was embarrassing.

So while the gameplay of the original Pokemon games was similar to walking around beating mentally handicapped homeless kids with clubs, the second generation (Gold/Silver) fixed many of the problems in Pokemon and made it into a formidable RPG. There may have been less fan favorites among the new Pokemon it added, but they offered much needed additional type combinations and variety in combat, which is the important thing. I really don't care if you thought new guys like Houndoom would never be as cool as Vulpix or whatever random Pokemon was your favorite, because the new guys like Houndoom actually made things interesting instead of being just another fire type or grass type or ghost/poison/******** type. They also added entirely new types to balance things out, lots of side-quests and fancy legendary guys, and a REALLY long main quest extending through the world of the first gen, culminating in a somewhat difficult battle with the original character. In no way, shape, or form was the original generation remotely as good as the second.

The third generation of Pokemon tried to branch out into more non-combat areas, make gameplay more offensive, and have more emphasis on a more "urgent" storyline. Personally, I didn't enjoy it as much as the slower paced second generation... But it was still worth my $30 and was easily a vastly superior RPG to the original, simplistic to a fault by comparison.

However, I have to admit that the fourth generation takes the cake. (The most recent, "Diamond/Pearl".) I picked it up on a whim, and was really glad I did: The 4th gen of Pokemon easily surpasses all the previous to establish itself as a truly great RPG. It really balances the slow, defensive attitude of the 2nd with the more active style of the 3rd. There's so many Pokemon now that it's less about memorizing them all and more about picking a few favorites and coming up with a personal strategy. The games are absolutely loaded with content, and the AI is actually decent... gym leaders are tricky and have unexpected moves on some Pokemon, and the Elite Four for the first time ever is HARD! On top of all this, they split physical and special moves from their previous type affiliations, which was the final step needed to make the Pokemon battle system seriously deep and impressive. And online play to boot, if you want to actually be competitive!

In other words, saying you prefer Red/Blue only makes you look like a 90s hipster, because Pokemon is one of VERY FEW series I can think of where the sequels unquestionably improved upon the original. It would be like saying "Hey guys, Link to the Past was great and all... but if you ask me they will never be able to beat the original NES Zelda."

I like Majora's Mask better than Ocarina of Time, but they are very different and it's easy to see that people have different opinions. Even though I think Twilight Princess is better in almost every way than Ocarina, it's still just a bunch of opinions and I can see that others others might have a different perspective. However, saying the original Zelda was better than LttP isn't stating an opinion or preference, it just makes you an idiot since LttP was just like the original but 10 times superior in every imaginable way. There isn't really any debate about it, since any argument you try to make would be laughed at and trying to insist the point just makes you obtuse.

The next time someone mentions Pokemon, do yourself a favor and tell the truth: "Yeah, I would enter this conversation to say something relevant, but I haven't played any Pokemon games since Red/Blue because I had to stop playing once we got to middle school due to my various insecurities." They'll understand. Besides, it's never too late to go catch yourself a Bidoof.

Please understand that I do it out of love.
I'm tired of all these mother ****in Thinkaman Walls of Text on this mother ****in thread.

I think the quality of this thread went down because of Thinkaman's long *** post ;_;
BHLMRO (aka Zantetsu): Ruining threads he doesn't belong in since 2008.
Did you know I never finished the original Pokemon Red/Green/Blue because I got so bored with it?

True story.
I leave this thread alone for FIVE minutes...

Pikachu invented st.louis crew. Pikachu and falco teamed up with a mentally challenged marth and discovered a Geno doll.

Who is John Galt?
...and the rest, as they say, is FOREVER.
AfRiKa UpDaTe from TONY said:
i love all you guys (the cool ones) and if we were brawling i would **** everyone

i have to tell everyone in afrika that i'm from somewhere else besides st louis now; they would sentence me to hanging if they found out since our smashboards thread has gotten so terrible

i'll be back early janurary to reclaim what's mine
And thus it was proclaimed on the last day of November that all smash documentaries produced within the local providence must include a pilgrimage to Steak N Shake, as was the custom of the day.
kyle, we definitely must go on our pilgrimage tonight (if your coming) and Friday for sure.
Oh and thanks for playing BrawlPlus
brawl+ mo liek brawl- mirite?
I wouldn't say Brawl- in any way, shape or form. It's just that I'm playing around with different types of codes and variables, we have auto-cancel, l-cancel, S-cancel, modifier for hitstun, gravity, no tripping, Brawl Airdodge, Melee Airdodge and more.
Lvl 17 G&W LFG.
geno get less rusty and buy a new controller lmaoo your controllers suck and controller johns are FTL.

@muba: melee is old because you never knew how to do anything in it. You probably aren't any good at brawl either. brawl+ is completely dumb because 1. it will never become a tournament standard 2. it will never become standardized (everyone will have different modifications and you wouldn't be able to tell) 3. it'll be looked down upon by both melee players and brawl players because to brawlers it looks like you're trying to make melee 2.0 when brawl is a completely different game and to melee-ers why play a cheap rip-off of a good game?. Sure it can be for fun, but you're completely missing the point. Melee was fun for it's preciseness. Just yesterday legan wasted his double jump and my marth did a 0-death combo ending with a reversed ken combo. Adding L canceling, hitlag stun, whatever other load of crap doesn't make the game more precise. To do so you would need dashdancing, remove the tilt function on the c stick, etc. Anyways modding the game is useless.

To Geno and (to a lesser extent) Lixi:
Stop whining about brawl. The only reason it's so campy is because no one knows what to do. The reason why all we saw was camping in brawl when it was released is because we saw a bunch of melee players playing brawl. It's the same as playing a matchup in melee that you don't know. If i don't know how to play as falco vs luigi, then i'll run away and spam lasers to tack up damage and then aim for a kill. What i'm seeing from more recent vids is more action, more things unique to brawl movement. So before complaining about the game, get good at it. M2k can win because he spams in brawl, and he may have the patience to, but i can guarantee that within a few years someone is going to beat M2k, and it's not going to be by camping. The more confident and knowledgeable you are about the game, the funner it becomes. In melee i'm comfortable playing FFAs and item matches against my friends, because I know that even with items and FFA I'll be able to win the match with my superior knowledge of the game. I'm sure many brawl players would be able to do that as well. I can't yet.

To everyone else in St. Louis/Missouri:
You guys all suck at brawl right now, so no more conclusions about the game. Yes, even those who think they're good at brawl actually suck at it.

PS: DEKU PLAY ME
**** you guys, I love brawl and melee
Why isn't there a discussion on Brawl+ D:
I endorse Brawl+ for removing chaingrabs.

Edit: No Deku looks more like Frankie Muniz. I called this a long time ago.

Deku


Malcolm in the Middle AKA Cody Banks


Edward Norton


You be the judge.

Edit edit: Upon closer inspection, what Brawlpro actually posted was that Deku SOUNDS like Edward Norton. I have to say I did not make that connection when I saw that movie nor when I met Deku.
deku looks like edward norton, but he's more like tyler durden
darkatma, you said that maybe in a few years m2k would be beaten in brawl.. when Ninjalink JUST beat him in a set with diddy like a week ago.

fail less. By your perception of who is good in brawl, you're terrible at melee.
I beat m2k twice
Where did this come from
It's called searching your name so you can know when you're mentioned. I just tried it and I got 20 + pages...... lolololololololololololololololo.

I pretty much agree with Atma on everything.
Im also the only one who THINKS im good at brawl.
I'm calling upon all who smash to tell you quite a tale
We used to play until we crash and all our fingers fail.
But then one day we stopped the game and realized something great

Arguing is ten times the fun so let us set you straight:


Oh, Brawljustverywellmightbetheworstgameiveeverseen
Why would I want that campy mess upon my TV screen?
A spammy slow lethargic wreck with chaingrabs in-between

Brawljustverywellmightbetheworstgameiveeverseen!


Well, Meleeisacrappygamethatnooneneedstoplay
Dinos belong in the past so that's where it should stay.
If you disagree with us we'll be forced to call you ghey

Meleeisacrappygamethatnooneneedstoplay!


Ad hominems, oh you're so cool, your game still sucks, too bad.
Your argument makes you a fool, so I see why you're mad.
I don't see why we're bickering, we play the same **** game!

You're right, let's stop this ****ering; why don't we pass the blame?


All together now!

Why, Blawlpluhsisacompletejokeonthisweallagree
Forgive us; we don't want to play Smash Brothers Potpourri
It's a trainwreck, no way josé, so this we guarantee:

Blawlpluhsisacompletejokeonthisweallagree!
Blawlpluhsisacompletejokeonthisweallagree
Blawlpluhsisacompletejokeonthisweallagree


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hay guys instead of arguing about smash Friday night why don't we all just go see Twilight like a big happy smash family. Is this an excellent idea confirm/deny?
Lol I love kyle
Lol I love kyle
Looking at Kyle's poem, I just imagined him in Dr Suess ensemble.
Oh my how hard I would laugh.
He would definitely be the grinch
so who else loves twilight
MetalMusicMan, remind me to remind you to play No More Heroes, AKA "that game they designed specifically for MetalMusicMan".
ugh socal smash sucks everyone here lives with their parents and cant host anything past like 10pm or if they do everyone has to be at the place before then....and all the tournaments listed are like 99% brawl only -_- i miss st louis :(
Deku,
I'm 20, too. We met once briefly, you probably don't remember. I was "New Reese" at the Game Crazy tourney right before Brawl came out. We played first round and I think I got 4-stocked twice. I cried myself to sleep for 3 weeks after that.
I'm 7 with a full beard.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A60AjGrwEyo
one of the most amazing team combos in history is in that video.

it's something like
fox[grab] falcon[nair] fox[jab] falcon[grab-downthrow] fox[upsmash] falcon[grab-backthrow] fox[shine] fox[upsmash] falcon[knee]
GENO!

I was packing up my games, and you tosser, you gave me back the wrong Melee disc!
Geno, don't make me take you out of my party for Bowser.
No....just....no.....
Don't think I won't do it!
If I practiced in Melee I could beat you all.
hahahahahahahah good one muba

theres no homebrew channel for skill ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahaahah
I play mainly Brawl but I'm thinking about getting back to Melee.
did I mention i beat people in brawl by using 14 of zelda's forward smashes to a downsmash?
Legan, swing by....my heart.
But you deserve it, no doubt. I loved discussing your plans for Brawl+ at Event52. Hopefully you can get a strong opinion in for the Smash Researchers :)
wtf does that mean?

are they all trolls that tout Brawl+ everywhere?

uhh not that you are muba lololololol
And no deku I don't troll about Brawl+.
also muba you're name is cute I kinda want to cuddle with it
You have absolutely no future as a wrestler
You Dare To Challenge Me For Brawl Falcon Master?!?!?!? Fool! Not Even Legan The Great Can Best Me. You Will Surely Perish.
The Great Khan challenges you to a Falcon ditto!
It's been a millenium since Random posted...

>_>
Why the heck am I not playing a Pikachu or Peach in Brawl right now?

Universe am fail.
Are minorities allowed this time Loki's?
Did you know Jesus was a Jew... Just some food for thought.
Clears throat* ahem

Jesus was never a Jew. Forget what you heard it's not true.

That babe in the manger was no Hebrew stranger.

Jesus was never a Jeeeeeeeeeew.
Merry Gayday!!!
:o yay we should totally have a falcon tourney
Im new to smashboards and the community as well. I was hoping I could attend this smashfest tonight. Just one question though, are clothes required? I'm an aspiring nudist and I dont want to offend anyone that might be offended by seeing my genitalia.

I havent smoked any crack today
So my name isn't really newbie and as you can see, I totally suck at making jokes but please don't let this fault of mine hinder you guys from getting to know me.

I'm new to the forum and I found this StL area thread. I tried reading it all but failed after going back 5 pages from the most current one. I'm trying to improve my skills and join tournaments but I'd rather play ones around here first before driving somewhere else to get my *** kicked.

So, I would like to know if you guys are planning any small tournament and if so, when? Also, I'm not very good but I read that you guys sometimes get together to play/practice and I was wondering if I could join you guys some of those times? And if there is any hazing involved, then please don't let me shave my head because I like my hair.

Thanks.

:bee:
Since I'm getting LAID OFF because Circuit City is dying (/cry), I'm not really doing much of anything tomorrow and I feel poopaliscious tonight.
i expect the thread to improve significantly after a month of muba being gone :p
Hey guys, I want to win at every game. Can someone please help me?
Hey guys, I want to win at Brawl Falcon dittos. Can somebody please--oh wait.

Tales of Symphonia guys. Plan it.
Anyway, Legan's the only one who was for-sure from StL in our minds. Andrew, Nicole, and I met him in KC once, too.
Kirksville people are awesome btw.
Dam right! We're the only people awesome enough to play serious matches for leftover chicken. :chuckle:
who are these invaders!?
Dang it, I just made the best image on the Internet and SOMEONE is going to acknowledge it!
I wouldn't suggest maining him. Ronald Reagan and Ayn Rand counter him to the point that he's not viable.
Oh jesus christ.
He would be a good counter too, but He's not included because He would be broken. He has infinite stocks.

MMM, you want immortal? You can't handle immortal. Don't challenge me to one-stock Falcon dittos people.
I am THE Brawl Falcon Ditto Champion, it has not been proven otherwise. I accept your challenge and laugh heartily at you, mortal!
Did I just get get challenged to a Falcon ditto? Toga, did you hear this?
People don't know what they are getting themselves into.

I really, really don't understand you guys. sigh. empty confidence.
hay thinkamannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

i will stomp your falconnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
I sincerely hope that no one takes my obviously ridiculous empty confidence seriously. :p

With that said. Ahem... THINKAMAN BE NO CHALLENGE TO MY GREATNESS. YARRRGG. BRING ON THE FRESH MEAT!
It lasts until Kyle kicks us out (so never).
hahah st louis is becoming gooffyyyy

-massive falcon dittos
-link vs ganon matches
-peach dittos on green green/temple

somebody space jam somebody else for me plx
be nice to my girlfriend tonight...
I'm a Brawl guy myself, but Melee is welcome in my house. I always glad to do some up-throw-to-rests... I WISH SOMEONE WOULD GIVE ME BACK MY COPY!
Tonight was loads of fun. Olimar brought the circus. Looking forward to clownin' with ya'll fools again.
-JGALT-

P.S., Legan, it's been like an hour and I'm still hard.
OK, normally a smashfest doesn't deserve shoutouts, but this was toooo good.

Alt-F4: Glad you could come man, always a first time for everyone, and I think this was a good first one to come to; I hope you got to paly a bunch of different people and characters.

Toga: We didn't get to play any singles. As punishment, you have to come over and play a minimum of 50 singles a week. Also, I have the case for your Brawl disc, which is in your Wii.

Phil: I wish so much that I had a picture of Legan and Toga sitting on the couch looking intense, and then you looking like a 4 year old kid about to start laughing in church. We'll have to organize tourneys or something based on this showing.

Metal: My Jiggs wuvs you so much. Don't become a Meta Knight main on my behalf though; I'm not even convinced your MK did the best against me, I'd liek to see your Falco more. You guys need to come more often. Also, I'm the Falcon master.

Radium: You were really cool, and we were awesome in teams. We'll have you owning your boyfriend yet, don't you worry.

Chezles: I don't care about your banana tricks, I care about your banana illusions!

Legan: Glad you found your natural habitat in my balls. Oh, and you took my power cord, silly goose. FALCON KICK!

Dan: Wait, why was Dan here?

JGalt: As official Falcon master of the St. Louis region, You are hear-by the awarded the Golden Knee for Excellence in Kneemanship. What you have done is art, well done.

Lixi: Really glad you came, wish other people weren't stupid so there would have been more Melee.

Ironboots: You're ten kinds of awesome, even if G&W is still clinically ********.

Dan: Wait, why was Dan here *again*?

Kolby: I was really glad you came with Metal, it was great havign you here. Hope you got to play everyone.

Everyone else, including Atma, Jeremy, Geno, and TTT: WHAT THE HECK FOOLS, YOU JUST MISSED THE BEST SMASHFEST STL HAS HAD IN THE LAST YEAR! Geno, we were waiting especially for YOU to set up Melee, what's the deal man?

Mr. "I'm gonna get drunk and play Rock Band instead of going to a Smashfest" TTT
dude, sonic is not as bad as everyone thinks...

hes much worse...
Think: Awesome place I hope we can all get together again there soon for some playing. My only suggestion is to buy some cups, if you want I can pick some plastic ones up for next time so me and kolby don't have to make out with your faucet all night. Doubles was fun with your jiggz even if you did do all the work

Toga: Thanks for working me over with ganon and not picking your wario to really make feel bad about myself

Legan: thanks for tearing me apart, i realized that when i practice i need to just work on air dodging and spot dodging appropriately so i can at some point actually do dmg to you

Kolby: i don't think we ever played at the same time but **** your sarcasm was killing me all night long

Radium: Thanks for saying our skill levels were close, when you are clearly much better than me. But i am excited to start getting better.

Iron Boots: Thanks for ignoring your drunk friends to smash with us great G&W

Chezzles: i think we only played during teams but that was fun

Nuris: Thanks for the matches at the beginning of the night even though i didn't see you much after that

Metal: Thanks for taking the time in and around the matches to give me advice about playing, all i am really doing right now is working on the basics and a lot of DI practice. Also you doing a smashfest on tuesday at your place? if you are give me the info i would love to come and play before school gets too nuts

I know there were a few more people that came through but i really didn't a chance to meet them/play against them so I'm sorry

Thanks for everything guys hope to hang out again soon
Hey, any racists itt? Write back!
zig you suck, I called you twice on like the 10th to go to a tournament and your hot
(mexican/insert random weird ethnicity) mom was like hes out at a concert with some girl. GIRLS?!

SMASHBROS BEFORE HOS ZIG. get it together son
I think my mom was confused...

I went to go see GIRL talk

This as opposed to going to a concert WITH girls...

Though if you youtube "girltalk+pageant", you'd see there were plenty of girls there! Or at least what...resembled them. Im not really sure.

Legan, I miss you more than sexually acceptable.

*rants incoherently about "having lots of gay friends"*
There are certainly few things guaranteed out of Brawl grabs, but usually being able to predict a premature air dodge from the opponent afterwards gives you a license to do whatever you want. (Usually aerial of your choice, up-smash, or re-grab.)

Spot dodgers are not only punished by long duration moves like many down-smashes, but also moves with more startup lag than the dodger was anticipating. Smashes are natural spot-dodge punishers, since you can charge them to fit whatever timing you need. (You can charge them all a full 60 frames I think.)

Think of it this way, like a basic rock-paper-scissors: Tilts beat smashes because they are generally faster, spot-dodging allows you to punish tilts, and smashes allow you to punish predicted spot-dodges. There are plenty of exceptions (certain smashes that come out in ~5 frames come to mind...) but generally you can think of it that way. You can call this the timing triangle.

Jabs beat everything because they are incredibly fast and repeatable. However, everything out-ranges them, so a small amount of distance between you and your opponent lets you do a longer attack that "beats" jabs. If they are even longer away normal attacks will miss, and you can do a dash-attack or dash/pivot-grab to punish the ending lag of any missing standard attack they do. Of course, we come full circle where jabs beat dashing approaches; without any ending lag, you can just shield or spot-dodge and counter with your various options as you see fit. You can call this is the spacing triangle.

Fighting games are full of these triangles, where everything beats something else. Smash expands this out more broadly compared to most other fighters that go for depth in just spacing and timing; smash also has complexities involving projectiles and aerial movement on top of the common basics. What's exciting are all the exceptions; those are the things people hate. For example, ROB's d-smash comes out faster than about half the jabs in the game and has a long duration that prevents ease of dodging, and yet has pretty good range and reward (damage and knockback). Given a typical moveset you can't really beat ROB's d-smash without really good spacing or timing; you have to tap into those projectiles or aerial options, or "exceptions" of your own character.
hahaha wtf is that? rock paper scissors? you have a very strange way of looking at smash. I prefer to look at everything from a matchup perspective, not some triangle/mario only BULL. hahaha youre like the fruit rollup factory: what will you roll out next???
We're also incubating nooblets. Try to keep the cartoon violence and crude humor T for Teen.
i think i troll too much -_-
I wouldn't have it any other way :D
whoa whoa children. it's toga time. that is all.
yes, I think so. Legan always has me on the mind. Sorry Alex-- he saw me first, kind of like a duckling who assumes his mother is the first thing he sees. I'm like his mother duck and he just follows me around.
Quack Quack (snuggles next to mama)

Yea Sorry Alex I got you confused.....ALL YALL LOOK ALIKE!

ps: Im Racist
hahah dun wry, its k legan.

first time i met you i was like
ZOMG THE DARKNESS IS SPREADINGGG
that's why i main yoshi in melee, i got hooked on him in 64 :V
yoshi ditto mm plz
Well isn't this thread just a fine little morning party.
Hey alty, don't main ROB because maining ROB is the cliché boring character for people who can't decide who they want to play as. (I really like fighting him with all my characters though...)

Also, you can't main Diddy because Diddy is getting really popular now, and only people who mained Diddy before it was cool are allowed to do so. Otherwise you are just another face in the crowd, waving a little "#1 NinjaLink" flag you got at a gas station somewhere in Illinois.

(nb4 NinjaLink ninja post)

Meta Knight is right out.

Edit: Chezzles... who knows man. Who knows.
NOOOOOOOO... I was actually doing pretty well with rob last night i guess i will have to find someone new then.. but who??? any ideas?
Ever tried Lucario?
Well, since I'm acting all high-and-mighty and declaring who people can and cannot main, I might as well go the distance and start making assignments.

Oh man, I got this one in the bag--this is a great idea:

LUCARIO.

Lucario is legit! He's an awesome character, but nobody around here plays him. No JGALT, you don't play Lucario, stop looking at me like that. Lucario is all about these solid aerials and approaches, mean ground game too, but nobody in St. Louis so much as gives him the time of day. Heck, my Lucario is an affront to nature, it's so awful.

You name the top character and we have representation, even if Snake and G&W is more along the lines of "everyone can play them well, because it's Snake and G&W". But nobody touches Lucario, unclaimed beachfront turf right there.

EDIT: WHAT THE HECK.

CHEZZLES.

WHAT THE HECK.

STOP THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BUT STOP IT.

OUT OF MY HEAD!
Does this make me smarter than Kyle?
...are we high?

Are those... infinity symbols?
I call that one...post-canceling
Phil, you don't main Random, null mains Random. Also not to be confused with Random himself, who mains WoW. Treppy meanwhile doesn't main anyone, and just "*is gaysian*".
I do get confused with the random icon a lot, and ironically, I main Roy.
Kyle, I do too play Lucario!
My Lucario is awesome and will take out any fool who wants to scrap!
You'll be all "Placement, attack, placement, grab, attack."
And I'll be all "Projectile, projectile, projectile, BEAM SHOTGUN!!!"
And then the match will be over.
You "play" Lucario in the sense that I "cook" Bagle Bites.
kyle, i might come over and **** your ball pit some more
Will you be t-bagging the ball pit, or will the ball pit be t-bagging you? Dude, I should major in philosophy.
Just so STL knows, a Tatsunko vs Capcom player named Kurasa(Good buddy of mine) is looking to rent a venue out within the near future, and asked me and my buddy Kim Bo Slyce to host the Brawl section, if we can get enough set ups(You guys should bring some when this comes about), I will see for Melee too. If time/set ups allow, it shouldn't be a problem. This is going to be a huge fighting game tourney, so I wanna' see some familiar faces.(So Legan, if the lights are off, come and see me.)

/racism.
My Snake is good >_>
I love how Will becomes so riled up about Snake. I think I've done enough damage in his system lol.
Man, all this smash segregation is upsetting. :(
Melee in Wheeler, what's that nonsense!? You're gonna have to fight Dave for his television. And you don't want to see Dave when you interrupt one of his Lifetime movies (I wish I was kidding).
Phil calling Toga's Melee Falcon "the guy who gets too drunk and ruins the party" was the quote of the night. Smash is just too good, no matter what flavor.
I met shazbot for the first time.
I CAME
Where IS LEGAN!!?!?!!?
SERIOUSLY.
Yay I won the mario kart tourny

Um

Anyone wanna come over to my dorm room for smash.... :O
Mo' money mo' power!

I've decided that I might want to get Street Fighter 4.

Not play it.

Just have it.
I've decided that I might want to take Kyle's heart.

Not eat it.

Just take it.
I've decided to call no farts.

You can't do it--I called it.

*proceeds to not fart*
He's just saying that because a local tournament is giving it away as a prize and he thinks he's gonna win. What he doesn't know is that he's gonNA GET DOWNSMASHED!!!!!!!
legan how do you always have a new sig of someone sucking your balls LOL
Um.... because im frickin Legan?
No. You play Link :p
Smash lock in sounds amazing, and also kind of homo-erotic. Either way I am in. (especially for that second one)
I posit that the only truly balanced game is Super Monkey Ball.

Or possibly Super Monkey Ball+

Kyle won the tourney with a down air to a rest on a D3!
That is all.
It was glorious. Kyle is such a *******, lol. <3
It wasn't my DeDeDe it was Chewies. I still think I won the match for Kyle though.

He was losing and I was all like "HEY KYLE, JUST PRETEND YOU'RE FIGHTING MY DEDEDE, ONLY HE'S BETTER!" After that, Kyle's relentless fury of Jiggly Puff gayness was unstoppable, right up to the last stock of the last match where I again yelled out, "KYLE, DRILL-REST FINISH!" and it was so. At that exact second, Kyle obliged me by drill-resting Chewie's DeDeDe to win the tournament. "There, are you happy?" said the triumphant Kyle, as he bowed in all of his glorious grace.

Kyle you owe me your winnings again, lawl jay kay

Falcon ditto in winners finals was too good!!
Hey St. Louis! It was nice seeing some of you at the Kirksville tournament; sorry I kind of died off at the end of the night. I was really wanting some friendlies with Legan, but was too tired to want to play.
So I never post really, but had to mentioned how much fun Sunday was. Thanks to everyone who complimented the Pika! It was my first chance to play against people other than our local "crew" and I think he matched up pretty well for the most part.

Wait, there are more matches after pools?!
IHOP is orgasmic.
Better than Pancake ****ty!!!???
Sorry asc we dont have a Pancake ****ty here either
If IHOP is sex, Pancake ****ty is a BJ on a toilet. Also, it is in a rural area. Therefore, it is a country blumpkin.
What on earth does that make Uncle Bill's and Denny's?

I'm not even going to ask about Stean N Shake...
Uncle Bill's is a threesome with porn stars. Mindblowingly awesome.

Denny's is more like regular sex, with Legan commentating in the background.
in YOUR background if he has anything to say about it.

STEELER'S TRAINER TIPS TO STAYING AT HIS HOUSE

1. No hitting on my mom.

2. You DON'T hit on my mom.

3. Squirtle is better than you.

4. You bring blankets and sleeping bags and **** because I only have one available couch, and no bedding/futons afaik.

5. Pokemon Trainer hacks are on at all times. This means no fatigue, no forced switch, Pokemon icons on the character select screen, Water Gun deals damage and hitstun,
Withdraw does not turn around after an attack and cannot be footstooled, Razor Leaf becomes Lazer Leaf and shoots as quickly as Falco's Blaster, Ivysaur must always make it on stage,
Rock Smash has no startup/cooldown lag and always does 45%.

6. You accept the fact that Pokemon Trainer hacks are on at all times.

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT IN A POKEMON MASTER'S HOUSE

follow these rules and i won't use my mewtwo in battle

Kirksville is also hi-jacking this thread.

Also, Random is the vanguard of all st.louis smash, people. He's still got it!
I would like to make a motion for St. Louis to adopt Kirksville.

I would also like to make a motion for "Falcon Dittos" to be made the Official Sport of St. Louis.
i would like to oppose both of those.
You don't get a vote.
I love it when Kyle taunts people.
I can't help it that I'm such an intimidating and confrontational person.

If I hold a Smashfest, it would be a 54-hour blowout leading up to Brawl's birthday. I have almost 9,600 matches on my wii right now, and the goal of the event would be to reach 10,000. It'd be like a telethon, except instead of helping little kids with cancer, we'd just be playing smash.
Match #10,000:
99 STOCK TEAM FALCON QUADRITTO ON FINAL D!!!

Status report: It is my regret to inform the citizens of St. Louis that I, your supreme overseer, has falling rather ill. I went to an imaginary doctor, who confirmed my beliefs: "Yep, you feel like crap." I decided the best treatment would be lots of rest, water, and complaining on the internet.

Crap, I just burped. Hope that isn't a prologue to vomit.

Anyhow, this situation has greatly diminished the odds of me driving 18 hours total for the eastern circuit event. I can only hope that it is not so bad as to prevent any smashfests--that said all casual events at my place before friday are hear-by canceled. (sorry JGALT)

BRB, gonna go stand in front of the toliet before finishing post.

...and we're back! After an agonizing hour of nauseous waiting, I have succeeded in vomiting. I'd like to thank the cup of water that I kept sipping from during the wait, as well as the at-hand plastic bag that proved itself durable in the heat of battle. My dear toliet also performed to the best of its abilities during this crisis, and for that I am most appreciative. It was the acidic, watery kind of vomit, definitely flu-based and certainly not food poisoning of any sort. TRIVIA: I had a similar flu about this time last year, at GDC!

Now that that ordeal has past, I feel the need to say that I feel fantastic.

I am going to take this opportunity to drink infinity water. I told my lawyer to fax me the exact details of what that involves when he gets the chance, but that won't stop me from starting. I just burped again, but it was but a friendly exchange; a friendly nod from a stranger on the road passing through on ways to parts unknown. Back to water.

Now, where was I?
CHEZZLES SEZ:

Hey kids! There's nothing more cool than having fun with a character that you like. But if that character is utterly useless, unduly flashy, and that prone to Fsmashes-

1) First, you say "NO!"
2) Then, you use Dsmash
3) Then, you call Phil
4) Then, you both use Dsmash
5) Then, you get a "Rooty Tooty Fresh-n-Fruity"
6) Then, you call Jaleel White
7) Then, you both use Dsmash
8) Then, you get outta there!

Make sure you tell someone that you trust!

Hi guys. I live in U City, 10 minutes from Wash U. I hear there is smashing there often. I'd like to join. I'll also be attending Wash U next year, after I'm done with the nightmare that is U City High.

Just throwing that out there. <_<

So, when is the next time you guys are convening there?
Nice playing with you, Deku. Maybe one day you will be as good as Lixi.

Holy ****, I've been there before. I'm going to my first Brawl Tourney!!!
Oh yeah, if anyone cares, the pseudo-tourney results are something like:



Singles pseudo-Tourney 2
(first one didn't have all entrants so I'm not listing it, had similar results though)

= Entrants =
1st MetalMusicMan (Will) - DeDeDe / Metaknight / Falco
2nd Legan (Corey) - Link / Marth
3rd Nyus (Seth) - Fox / Luigi
4th Mahony (Kevin) - Lucario <<<< WTF LAWL 4th sooooo funny.

*** I don't remember the exact order after this but I think it was something like

FutureWrestler (David) - Ice Climbers / Yoshi / Lucas / Mario / ROB
UnevenPavement (Kolby) - Pikachu / Lucas
Soma (Patrick) - Shiek / Marth
Radium88 (Rauleen) - Kirby
Alt F4 (Steve) - ROB

= Winners Finals =
Legan vs Metal - Best of 5 - Legan wins 3 to 2

= Losers Finals =
Metal vs Nyus - Best of 5 - Metal wins 3 to 0

= Grand Finals =
Legan vs Metal - Best of 5 (1) - Metal wins 3 to 0
Legan vs Metal - Best of 5 (2) - Metal wins 3 to 2



Teams pseudo-Tourney

= Teams =
1st - Future / UnevenPavement - Lucas / Lucas
1st - Legan / MetalMusicMan - (Link / Marth) / (DeDeDe / MetaKnight)

3rd - Radium / IronBoots - Kirby / Game and Watch

Soma / Alt F4 - (Shiek / Marth) / ROB
Nyus / Mahony - Fox / Lucario

= Winners Finals =
Legan / Metal vs Future / Unevenpavement - Best of 3 for time - Lucas/Lucas wins 2-0 >_< wtf lawl

= Loser's Finals =
Legan / Metal vs Radium / IronBoots - Best of 3 for time - Legan/Metal wins 2 to 1

= Grand Finals =
Legan / Metal vs Future / UnevenPavement - Best of 5 (set 1) - Legan/Metal win 3 to 2 ... ran out of time for the 2nd set so considered it a tie... Lucas / Lucas is ****ed annoying, hahaha.


It's really a shame that we didn't have access to a camera tonight :( Everyone played really well and we had a blast.

Awesome memorable sets were Kolby (Pikachu) vs Future (Ice Climbers) -- very sexy. Also. the matches between me and Legan in singles winner finals and grand finals was intense man love buttsex hawtness, pretty much.

Teams I think Corey convincing me to go double Ike verus Kirby / G&W on RAINBOW CRUISE takes the cake for ******** MOMENT OF AWESOME SAUCE. Yeah... we failed hard. Also all of the Lucas/Lucas matches were impressive.

Oddly, Kevin somehow placed 4th even though he has officially been playing Lucario for like a week and competitive smash for like 2 weeks tops, lol. Kolby killed himself or something during their match and he ended up knocking Kolby out of the tournament, which was freaking hysterical.

All in all very good times, if you didn't come, you missed out :p
It was really fun last night, although nothing reminds you that you are the worst in the group like taking last place in a tournament.

I swear to god 3 things are going to happen:
1) I will make Legan take me seriously
2) I will get good enough to go even with you guys
3) I am going to learn a new character in secret so one day I will just pick them in friendlies and no one will know what just happened after i start doing good with them

That is all
>_> I know this is kind of an odd request, but I was considering going to Aerial Rave and I don't want to make an idiot of myself by being the worst one there, so would anyone mind friendlying me over wifi and tell me if they think I'm good enough to atleast show up at the tournament? My FC is 1289-8475-1253 in case anyone would be as kind as to play me.
I'm quite old enough for alcohol (17)
Are you seriously telling me that you dont think alcohol poisoning is fun?
Coming to WashU?

Hesitant about alcohol?

o_O
whoa, whoa, whoa... I think we all need to form a line and submit in writing why they think they are the worst. I will start:

I lose 99.9% of the games I play.

Your move fellas.

Also, Bojangles has moved up in "People I think are Awesome Power Rankings."

Good games everyone, very fun times, if any of you want to stop by my place Tuesday, you can PM me for directions / phone number.

I still can't ****ing believe that I lost to ROLL OUT A G A I N.

Oh my ****ing god

So uh, I ain't tryin' to be rude and I ain't hatin' on you dude but the honorable coalition of PKC (Pat, Kyle, and Chezzles) have come to the decision that the term **** is offensive and should not be used. From this point on we move to bury the word on the grounds that:

1) **** is not a funny subject
2) **** affects 1 out of 4 women by the end of their college career
3) **** is not a compliment to describe how well one does while playing video games
3) "Getting clowned on" is a much funnier way to get across the idea of skill in games

Now I ain't tryin to start beef with you or nothing, but this is actually a sensitive subject (for me at least)

Good job everybody at the tourney on Saturday!
Hey guys, this is Cheesy Mike. I had a ton of fun yesterday, and I thought the tournament went really well. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you guys could help me get more involved in the smash scene, as that tournament was the only one I've been to and I really don't know where to go from here. Also, sorry that I didn't get to ditto you Milk... My friend was ready to leave. -________- I think I'll come alone next time.
I don't have any idea what I'll do if I have to face Thinkaman again.
Popcorn shrimp.
Dude, Popcorn Shrimp doesn't counter Thinkaman. They only make him stronger!
You better start playing 3-Day-Old-Taco-Bell if you want to counter Thinkaman.
.....so after losing to Jigglypuff because she can gimp your short recovery, you pick the one other character who has a short recovery?

That said, Sno was awesome. I'm hereby starting a committee to find Sno and get him to come to our events.

On the bright side, I can hear the words "Taco Bell" and NOT immediately vomit now. A few weeks ago, that wasn't true.
If you play Falcon, obviously I'll play Falcon, in which case everyone wins!

Except you.
<3 Rainbows and puppy dogs and magical happy wood nymphs with sparkles and fairy dust. <3
My parents took away my computer and videogames. This is the last time you will hear from me for a long time. :(

Bye.
Also Inferno, GTFO of our thread. (That is STL-speak for "stay and chat awhile")
Man **** you guys. I'm gonna go make my own St. Louis with hookers and black jack.
what is this corey cancel?
**** it Rauleen I thought we told you to stop hitting on underage boys.... for that matter, you too Kolby.
Man, competition's rough out there. 15 year old Ness mains are 2 stocking Legan and pimpin' ho's all over the place.
Geez, take it easy. If anything, it's impressive that any of you were able to resist the attraction of my raw manliness >_>
Poodles.



That is all.
I leave this thread alone for ONE ****ing day...
put a gunnnnn

in my mouthhhhh

oh **** man i can't ****ing do it ****tttt

***** OUTTTT
I think every other controller in St. Louis is in my room right now.

Seriously guys, I just counted, and I have SEVENTEEN GCN controllers in my room.

SEVENTEEN!
You are such a controller *****, Kyle.



*sniff* Every time I think of Mario, I think of Sno now.... Where the **** is that kid? Hopefully he'll be at the next one. But why is it held on Sunday? (Aerial Rave)
hey everyone. i came to the tourny at Ogre's this past weekend, I went by the name "Music". I'm a GW player. I was wondering if I could come along to this smashfest tonight at MMM's place. I got beat by thinkaman and legan, in case either of you remember me. that was my first tourny and i'm looking for some good practice so I can get better!
OH YEAH SURE DAVID JUST TELL EVERYONE THEY CAN COME TO MY PLACE. I GUESS PRETTY MUCH ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CAN JUST COME TO MY PLACE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, HUH!??! GAWD YOU ARE SO RUDE.
I not really sure why I keep hanging out with you guys, all you do is make fun of me. :(
Isn't the sun beautiful in the morning?
^***
10sensitivegayphils
I'm back, *****es.
I agree guys, Braid is an excellent game that everyone should experience.

Wait, what were we talking about? I was playing Braid.
I have a Fair amount of fun playing Marth.



SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?!?!? SEE!?!?!?!?


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Please dont try to imply that im not the **** though. ( Because I obviously am)
After that match I kissed Darkrain...






on the ****.

Your move buttman.
Cool. I figure after we play at Think's for a little while we could hit a few night clubs, go to a few actual raves and after all of that is over, pass out in the middle of a public restroom.
its decided we're all playing ****in jiggs rofl
prediction: grand finals is gonna be 1337 falcon dittos
Using "Rock/Hammer" is called the Rauleen Combo, Kyle. Be sure to never make that mistake again. :p
CHICHI Is SO fine OMG (I have a thing for azn girls LOL)
I know you do, I saw you walkin through the loop with some hot azn chick one time and I was like CHEEEEEAAAAA DEKUUUUUUUU!!.
Eh, there's a tourney today? Lol, if I didn't have so much work to do, I'd go.
D:

falcon dittos. its gonna happen.
Indeed. You guys should here the full story of what happened to us after we missed the light.

After the light turned red and you guys abandoned us, two hijackers showed up. They held Future at gunpoint and took his car. They then sped off in the direction of Wash U. Future jumped into my car through the open window and we started chasing them. We managed to cut them off, so they started shooting at us. We both dove out of my car. I then rolled under my car to get to Future's. When I got there, the hijackers were reloading. I popped up and threw the Gamecube controller I had in my pocket at one of them. It hit him in the head and his head then smashed into the window. Future (who had gone around both cars to get to the other side) then grabbed the gun from the semi-unconscious man. Realizing he was defeated, the other guy started driving back in the other direction. Future took one shot with the gun and got one of his tires. I was back in my own car by this point, and I quickly caught up to Future's car. I rammed him from behind, shattering his back window. Future then ran up, jumped onto my car, and dove through the opening into his car. He then Falcon punched the guy, killing him instantly.

Then we called Kyle for directions.
The real question for St. Louis is:
How can we make Captain Falcon viable?
To make falcon viable all you have to do is have someone Corey Cancel behind your opponent and switch the game disk to melee while he (girls don exits) is distracted.
Okay...

Did I just see the potential banning of Metaknight compared to both the Lusitania and 9/11?
Ya know, Metaknight is a lot like a mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and I'll be d***ed if he knows how to use it.

I think I made myself pretty clear.
Arguing that metaknight is broken or that metaknight is viable

is like a scientist arguing that his hypothesis will SO ****ing prove another hypothesis wrong while he's pouring his test tube that he's about to let sit for two years.
Sometimes I love Legan and ZigZag so much it hurts out my peepee. I hope it's not syphilis.
So when's the next smashfest MMM?
YOU DON'T LIVE HERE, YOU LIVE IN ARUBA! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!!!!
Kyle is the brains of st.louis smash.

Now the skill, well...





That's Muba.
Muba I swear to god if you start talking about Brawl Plus the next time I see you I will gouge out your eyes with a wooden spoon.

WITH A WOODEN SPOON.
seriously, brawl plus again? Man that didn't take long for muba to mention it.
Hey, don't forget about Jiggs ditt--

Wait...

Am I... turning into...

Sliq?!?
ahahahah so true

you play jiggs

now youre spamming images in threads.

WIN WINWINWIN

actually sliq can beat me so thats all thats left!
i just wanna trash talk people more.

hey kyle you suck LOL
Okay, fine.

Before I can focus on the ignorance that abounds in Mr. Deku McJohns, Esq.'s codices, I must qualify Deku's character, his sources, and even his personal frame of mind towards me. You see, I unequivocally believe that in a matter of days, Deku's outbursts will squeeze every last drop of blood from our overworked, overtaxed bodies. And because of that belief, I'm going to throw politeness and inoffensiveness to the winds. In this letter, I'm going to be as rude and crude as I know how, to reinforce the point that we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but some people believe that one day Deku's idolators will denounce Deku's inveracities. Such people are doomed to disappointment, especially when one considers that my love for people necessitates that I raise the quality of debate on issues surrounding Deku's arrogant, drugged-out declamations. Yes, I face opposition from Deku. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder.

It has been revealed that Deku plans to extract obscene salaries and profits from corporations that instill distrust and thereby create a need for his aberrant views. First reaction yields that his recommendations serve no purpose other than to fuel inquisitions. A little more thought leads to the more accurate conclusion that Deku's expositors' thinking is fenced in by many constraints. Their minds are not free because they dare not be. He once had the audacity to tell me that anyone who disagrees with him is ultimately diabolic. My riposte was that he will probably respond to this letter just like he responds to all criticism. He will put me down as "bleeding-heart" or "slovenly". That's his standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about him except the most fawning praise.

To get even the simplest message into the consciousness of the worst sorts of bloody-minded cretins there are it has to be repeated at least fifty times. Now, I don't want to insult your intelligence by telling you the following fifty times, but I want to provide some balance to Deku's one-sided expostulations. I want to do this not because I need to tack another line onto my résumé but because if Deku's thinking were cerebral rather than glandular, he wouldn't consider it such a good idea to convince others that bumptious politicasters are the "chosen people" of scriptural prophecy. Deku supports a wide variety of metanarratives. Some are spleeny; others are cankered. A few openly support Lysenkoism. To be honest, he is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, Deku's willingness to make a big deal out of nothing sets a new world record for brazenness.

I find Deku's cacoëthes loquendi most irritating. Think I'm exaggerating? Just ask any of the most valuable members of our community and they'll all tell you how the purpose of this letter is far greater than to prove to you how stubborn and grotty Deku has become. The purpose of this letter is to get you to start thinking for yourself, to start thinking about how prudence is no vice. Cowardice—especially his vulgar form of it—is.

Produce a large number of thoroughly wayward extravagancies, most myopic indecencies, and, above all, the most superstitious blasphemies against everything that I hold most sacred and most dear if you like, Deku, because I simply don't care. Much of his behavior is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to the confused swaggerers whom he claims to be trying to help. (Note the heroic restraint stopping me from saying that I find Deku's bons mots rather minatory.) Which brings me to my point. Deku's favorite buzzword these days is "crisis". He likes to tell us that we have a crisis on our hands. He then argues that the only reasonable approach to combat this crisis is for him to marginalize and eventually even outlaw responsible critics of postmodernist devil-worshippers. In my opinion, the real crisis is the dearth of people who understand that Deku claims to have data supporting his assertion that obstructionism can quell the hatred and disorder in our society. Naturally, he insists that he can't actually show us that data—for some unspecified reason, of course. My guess is that he's hiding something. Maybe he's hiding the fact that many people have witnessed him convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. Deku generally insists that his witnesses are mistaken and blames his gin-swilling double standards on the most brainless wheeler-dealers you'll ever see. It's like he has no-fault insurance against personal responsibility. What's more, Deku may have access to weapons of mass destruction. Then again, I consider him to be a weapon of mass destruction himself.

Deku wants to create a Frankenstein's monster. What's wrong with that? What's wrong is Deku's gossamer grasp of reality. His morals serve as a stepping stone to world government. And who will compose that world government? A ruling class consisting of stultiloquent, obtuse jackanapes and dissolute scroungers. It is true that he wishes he could buy "ethnic cleanser" at the grocery store, but society must soon decide either to place a high value on honor and self-respect or else to let Deku rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity. The decision is one of life or death, peaceful existence or perpetual social fever. I can hope only that those in charge realize that Deku once said that he knows the "right" way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli. Oh, please. I'm just glad I hadn't eaten dinner right before I heard him say that. Otherwise, I'd probably still be vomiting too hard to tell you that Deku plans to subject human beings to indignities. The result will be an amalgam of overweening ruffianism and contentious communism, if such a monster can be imagined.

Please don't ask me to promote group-think attitudes over individual insights. I simply can't do that. It's not just that smarmy grizzlers have traditionally tried to piggyback on substantive issues to gain legitimacy for themselves but also that someone has been giving his brain a very thorough washing and now Deku is trying to do the same to us. Mark my words: his pleas are based on hate. Hate, immoralism, and an intolerance of another viewpoint, another way of life. Deku presents one face to the public, a face that tells people what they want to hear. Then, in private, he devises new schemes to pit the haves against the have-nots.

One need not look any further than Deku's viperine maneuvers to see that the cardinal rule of Deku's pronouncements is that intrusive parasitism is the only thing that matters. He vehemently denies that, of course. But he obviously would because he has no discernible talents. The only things Deku has definitely mastered are biological functions. Well, I suppose he's also good at convincing people that all it takes to start a rabbit farm is a magician's magic hat, but my point is that I defy the mutinous annoying-types who deflect attention from Deku's unwillingness to support policies that benefit the average citizen and I defy the powers of darkness that they represent. If I didn't sincerely believe that some of Deku's lickspittles once admitted—after considerable tergiversation—that yes, he had secretly plotted to shatter other people's lives and dreams, then I wouldn't be writing this letter. Isn't it interesting which questions Deku dodges and what tangents he goes off on? Those dodges and tangents make me think that Deku used to be a major proponent of collectivism. Nowadays, he's putting all of his support behind mercantalism. As they say, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Due to the power relationship between the dominator and the dominated, Deku's mentality reminds me of the stereotypical bureaucrat who cannot function unless he can "find it in the manual". Get that straight, please. Any other thinking is blame-shoving or responsibility-dodging. Furthermore, name-calling and a general lack of respect for the opinions of others are a clear indication of insecurity. I trust that I have not shocked any of you by writing that. However, I do realize that some of my readers may feel that much of what I have penned about Deku in this letter is heartless and in violation of our Christian duty to love everyone. If so, I can say only that some people have said that the grossly fallacious reasoning behind Deku's invectives can be confirmed by some simple fact-checking. Maybe. But I'm more inclined to believe that besides being blatantly sexist towards the female gender, Deku is completely shallow. So what's the connection between that and Deku's ballyhoos? The connection is that mass anxiety is the equivalent of steroids for him. If we feel helpless, Deku is energized and ramps up his efforts to damage the self esteem and physical health of millions of young men and women.

I have the following to say to the assertion that it's okay if Deku's taradiddles initially cause our quality of life to degrade because "sometime", "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend: Baloney! The whole premise of Deku's hijinks is false, and his arguments are specious at best. I indisputably want to talk about the big picture: I have never read anything Deku has written that I would consider wise, logical, pertinent, reasonable, or scientific. His statement that he is beyond reproach is no exception. What's more, he has been trying for quite some time to convince us that he has mystical powers of divination and prophecy. I suggest he take this rotting ordure and dump it where he and his fellow goofy perverts congregate. At least then we could protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of the most mawkish grafters you'll ever see without having to worry that he will make self-satisfied fault-finders out to be something they're not. Summa summarum, Mr. Deku McJohns, Esq.'s publicity stunts turn the stomachs of those who know even a little about the real world.
I read every bit of that and I must say:

A) You are very eloquent with your words.

and

B) Deku got owned.
is that an obama speech?
srsly kyyle stfu no one wants to read all of that.
i hope you enjoyed your scholastic discourse but who the f*** cares

geeett cloowwned onnnnn
KY <3's St Louis.
thank God i'm going back home soon.
only to be back in june =[
it gives me such glee
that i can soon flee
but i know i'll be back in two moons.
at least muba
is in aruba
i can't stand that buffoon
My my my the idiot is still at it. :laugh:
I just had a great idea guys.

What would happen if you Rick-roll'd and Bel-air'd someone at the same time?

How would that even be possible?

You know who I miss? Brawlpro. Haven't seen that guy in forever.
Kyle, you might have cups and drinks...
BUT DO YOU GOT PRODUCT?!?!?

Dr. R knows all about product, and if you don't deliver, he'll have you sent off the bridge in a bus.
went to my first smashfest at kyle's, bunch of bull**** youtube tactics
Legan would be proud of me, I was spanking some black stripper all last night...agh
I almost punched a stripper once if that counts for anything.

I can't wait for Kahoka. My boys Legan and Thinka will be there =D (**** the rest of you guys! >=O)
I told a stripper she was too skinny for me and she hated me the rest of the night. Then another one broke my underwear. Then I had to get in a shower on stage with one wearing only boxers and my dong came out for all to see. It was a good birthday.
Zig Come Play Me In Brawl Arrrrrrg!
WHERE ARE YOU, sir
im in st louis
The kinde Sir Cornelius J. Thinkaman, Esquire has secured a means of passage to the hallowed Metal Music Land. Once there I may engage in both games of Melee and Brawle (even 3-score and 4, perchance). However, let it be knowne that I only picked up the formere activity but three fortnights ago, and am but a pilgrimme in the journey toward tech-skill-versed-ness.

Also, let no one put assundere what I consider to be thee proper spelling of the word "footballe."
Thinkaman.... I still want that double c-stick controller ;D
I think if Nuris was a Final Fantasy character he would have one summon and it would be called, "9." If chosen, the Count from Sesame Street would come out and say, "One, ha ha ha" and a 1 would appear. Then it would turn sideways and reveal itself to actually be a Game and Watch. It would strike everyone with a 9 just as Nuris says, "Wait what's this?"
St. Louis, I just wanted to let you know,

I'd give my liiiiiiiife...

Not for honor,

But for yyyooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu
And kyle starts his attempt of only quoting achewood comics for the summer.
16th I know I can't come. 23rd I have a graduation party to go to, I'm not sure if I could go or not.
We wont make anything official unless we are 100% sure the TWILIGHT PRINCE can attend. Meaning there wont be any smash or tournaments unless TWILIGHT PRINCE is there.

Im gunna have to talk to the germ about rescheduling Genesis because I think TWILIGHT PRINCE might have something going on around then. Ill talk to TWILIGHT PRINCE and see when it will be more convenient for him. Im sure everyone will be pleased when they find out hell be able to come.
Hopefully the SBR will do the right thing, so we can put an end to this Meta Knight Snake DDD Pikachu Diddy ICs Lucario Captain Falcon dominance.
Wow Kyle there was no achewood there, 3 days in and already a fail...

I expected more from you


Edit: Oh and my Wii just bricked so everyone can go off and die.
this thread is such serious business.

PPL EVEN MOVIN IN WITH EACH OTHER OMANNNN
Also, Geno, Tales of Symphonia.

Sometime.
Wow Corey and Kyle.
You two have the best(and most unorthodox) Brawl team in existence.
Only lovers could fight like that.
Man, people know me.

Is this what it feels like... to be Legan?
I should totally start maining captain falcon.

Nothing would stop me from winning tournaments.
Except your character choice.
ok now that that is out of the way, I can prolly come over if you guys play a little earlier. My friends party starts at the same time as the tourney. So if I leave at 5 it will be fine.
you don't need no party steve, you just need you some smash! seriously, bring the **** and bring the brett! then tell your friend who is having the party that you can't come because you died.


















I'm willing to bet that Andy and Ron will not be pleased if Steve skips out on them to come to this smashfest.
wtf kyle...
Hey guys its been a while so what are the plans for this weekend now?
I think this has been established.
You are my freaking hero.
Did someone... say something... about someone playing Captain Falcon?

I thought you guys had learned, but it looks like we're gonna hafta go back to school.
I'll win the next Falcon championship.
Lets have one at Aerial Rave, dollar entry.
I'll take first.
Ahahahahaha... hahahaha... ha...

No, seriously, let's make it $5. $10. $20!
All Kyle does in Falcon dittos is wait for you to do something and then grab you.
Grabbing Falcon is like grabbing Jesus: it sounds good on paper but then you get struck by lightning and die in an explosion.
What if you were grabbing Jesus for a loving embrace? Based on what I know of his teachings that would be a good thing. You need to cover your bases before you start speaking for Jesus.
That ain't New Testament.
Happy feet... on water.
Wait... are you... serious?

You guys actually want to give me money?
And Think will ask, "who will save them?"
And I will answer... "NO."

SO.MUCH.METAGAME
Who the **** is GERM?

IF IT AIN'T LEGAN IT'S DONE.

BLAME IT ON THE VODKA BLAME IT ON THE HENNY BLAME IT ON THE BLUE TAP GOTCHA FEELIN' DIZZY
AHHHH YEAH.

This topic just got REAL.
I wish I was good enough to have rap music quoted at me like it was a thing.

:p
Hey guys,! JGALT am finding film.

You is sometimes enjoying Smash Brothers, yes? Have you aware of time of today?

IS SUPER GANON TIME!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gEOzGX6OFc

Most best! Is joy always.

EDIT: HAS MARIO RPG MUSIC! IS JUST FOR GENO!
Me and Metal; same page, same book.

PLAYIN' POKEMON ALLLLLL DAY, BOIS!
Well I can't vouch for anyone else, but mostly I just wanna see you nude.


Yes, this is now a thing.
I don't care what anyone thinks i throw the best parties, and there being a DVD is only more proof.
Steak N' Shake!!!
If he beat Legan, that automatically makes him a scrub.

...Don't try to think about that.
Legan's popularity = affirmative action mirite?
Corey, you're Link is trash. No matter what game you play. I will NEVER join your bandwagon!
ATTENTION:
Team Ninja is making a Metroid Game.
That is all.
The world just ended until it's release.
If you ask Corey about what he thinks of people who go to comicon, I bet he would tell you that they are in fact nerds, possibly ***s, and will NEVER contribute to society.

This thread needs more Legan.
**** it Nicole...we were totally going to make out tonight. After I got drunk and sexually harrassed you for awhile. GG NO RE.

-Kolby
God I really need to log out so these drunk *******s stop posting on my account, lmfao.
what

the

****
Kolby is a very irresistible man. I would be lying if I were to say that I myself had not succumbed to his bear-like features and lustful charm on more than one occasion.

Nicole, of course, has also fallen prey to his spell. A helpless victim, merely one of thousands, caught in the tightly woven web of sexuality that is Kolby.
Metal needs to change his occupation to author of erotic fiction.
Hey guys, is Think in St. Louis? I lost him again.
Lost me?

I've been sitting in my house all day for the past... week. My phone is on, it has a signal, and has no missed calls, voicemail, or text messages. All 3 of my IM clients are online and logged in, like they have been for weeks. I check my email hourly--both of them. I am the complete opposite of lost.
housewarming party!?!?!
I can just imagine the party consisting of hos and 40s.


As if it wasn't totally expected...
LMFAO. Funnay. House warming partay? Will it consist of Steve doing a tribal dance around a pit of fire wearing nothing but a glass of chocolate milk? If so, get hyped!
every time darkatma posts hes like NORCAL IS SO AWESOME IN EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY MELEE
May I say, INEFFINGSANE
yay we're getting some ****talk in here

okay
brawlpro i **** you get better
deku: you suck your marth is impractical
lixi: no me and geno would **** you and deku, and i **** deku in teams easy and i also **** at teams
legan: i bet you're rusty as hell and would lose to my mario
geno: least active smasher = worst smasher get your ****ing *** out of the kitchen and back in the game

marth1: nice falcon HRC V4


also:
deku the time we teamed we beat the twins.
but you're bad at teamwork.
tell errol to miss a tourney and team with someone good for once.
BTW Genesis was INSANE (at least the Melee part, Brawl isn't finished yet), and that's just from following it on Smashboards.

go st louis!
For the benefit of Phil
---------------------------

Characters in BBrawl that have buffed down smashes:

1. Mario- A small sort of the buff, the sort a fine elderly gentleman would solemnly appreciate on board a friend's yacht.
2. Yoshi- A robust, solid buff to both hitboxes as local paper editorials may describe. Non-smoking.
3. Zelda- The layman sees a knockback buff, but the patron sees an angle buff that speaks to the very nature of man's mortality.
4. Ganondorf- Timeless consistency, the forbidden dream of young lovers to be sure.
5. Toon Link- A boy puts away childish things as he grows up, a story for the ages.
6. Samus- Two unique hitboxes, facing angle adjustments and knockback allocations of the finest care and quality. Open Monday, Wedsenday, Friday.
7. Zero Suit Samus- Forbidden love unchained. Not actually a buff. Bring a casserole or family dish.
8. Ice Climbers- Strength in times of need is the true substance of man's nature. Highly recommended.
9. King Dedede- Leave your coat at the door, and look for inward rolls. Try the salmon.
10. Captain Falcon- Modesty where none is sought, humility where none is taught. Burma Shave.
11. Ivysaur- Noticeably stronger. Somewhat effective. $9.50/hr. Flexible shifts.
12. Charizard- A tad bit superior in a subtle way, as is the difference between a waiter of experience and new help.
13. Jigglypuff- Kills yellow men who fart too much. 5'9". Last seen in Hobbsville, headed East. Contact Waynesboro Metro.
14. Ike- MANIFEST DESTINY.
15. Ness- A child whose yo-yo breaks, like a leaf fallen not yet August may yet reduce a grown man to tears. 7:30pm-9:00pm. Refreshments provided.
This. Forever. Yoshi Forever. Someone tattoo this somewhere.
To be fair, it was a stoplight.
tell mattR to move here so our sheiks can have lesbian/gay/transgender secks
I'm trapped in Loop Lofts.
Halp.
STL Planning: Bottom Tier

but Rauleens asian and MUST go to anime con and stevies got a bachelor party. I gotta go to my moms graduation party and Wont be back
and stevies got a bachelor party
As if anyone didn't see this coming.
Attention STL, this is your glorious leader speaking from exile.

I am considering renaming Falcon Dittos as "Falcon Delights". Like the benevolent, kind, and just leader I am, I seek the opinions of the people on this matter.
You guys are playing teams with Lixi, Atma, Phil, and the general concept of Rainbow Cruise?!?

Whoa.

So who all IS going to Gigabrawl?
No one that matters.
FYI, I'm President, Phil is Treasurer, and Binyan is TV Pimp.
LOL Zig had Mango in his pool, but he should have made it out if not for some crazy tiebreakers that make the BCS seem fair and equitable.
Oh hay guys it seemed I missed an argument.

I think Pikmin 2 is a jolly good game.
i will beat up anyone that plays pikmin 2
*Quits playing Pikmin 2 in fear*
This is why I still play the original Pikmin.
Official SMYM 10 Commemorative Poster:




Also, Peach spanking Falcon:







for emphasis :D


@ Geno, yes smash on friday :p St louis needs to improve
teach me megaman 9 actually loll, i'm so baddd at it


Great tourney, we all needa smash more :p
Tales of Symphonia music?!?

Looks like Binyan wins again guys.
Oh, and Yoshi Forever.
Darn, i was hoping i could play some people. I cant stand vBrawl :mad:

HEY EVERYONE START PLAYING BRAWL+ NOW!!
And so Muba returns for his final battle.
Jay, just learn melee, the game is ridiculously deep and adamantantly skill based :p
His challenger appears and launches a swift preemptive attack!
Yeah play Brawl or play Melee, either way you're a lot better off than Brawl+ :p hahaha.
Opposing nations come together to ward off the threat Muba.
If you're going to play the chitfest that is brawl+ STL is not the place to be. Generally smashers here decide if they enjoy brawl or melee, or even one both and go from there. But no one plays that ****ty water-down version of them both.
Muba is hit in the face with a fireball.
Well i absolutely hate brawl, and there is no way i would ever get good at melee, the game has been out for like 6 years and it would take way to much time to catch up. I played melee when i was little but never got into the competitive scene. I'm only 14 there is no way i could match up to the 25 year olds that have mastered that game :O

And brawl+ is just awesomesauce, especially because you can main charizard solo :laugh:
Muba retorts with loud, incoherent garble. Everyone is terrified. His opponents ready their weapons.
You can like Brawl+ for whatever reason but realize that nobody is going to want to play it with you.
ma bad.. i like brawl+ sorry....
Defeated, Muba bitterly slinks back to his banishment in Aruba.
...and finally... I will teach anyone who really wants to learn how to play Brawl. I've already trained several people and I am a good teacher :)
Metal man i want you to teach me how to play this game.. called "Brawl"
We should all go to legans and learn kung fu or whatever it is he does
Legan's the true kung fu panda
The god kai sig isnt the coolest, but it reiterates that im the **** and im fine with that.
Legends NEVER die Milk.
Geno, I knew, remember I accidentally recorded zigs head for like 4 matches and then we were like o **** and I switched the input.
Why isn't this on youtube?!?
OMG PSYCHONAUTS.

You shouldn't have said that. That's all I'm going to reference from now on.

"My name--"
"STARTS WITH 'D'!"
"--is Rasputin!"
"PLEASE DON’T KILL US MISTER LAKE MONSTER!"

"And those of you who fight well, you will find yourselves on the path to becoming international secret agents--in other words... Psychonauts! The rest of you... WILL DIE!"

"So he really IS stealing children's brains to make weapons!"
"I know! Isn't it great?"
"How could this possibly be great?!"
"Because we're in the middle of an honest-to-goodness psychic emergency!"
"An evil madman is building a fleet of psycho-death tanks to take over the world, and we're the only ones who can stop him!"
"OH MY GOD! LET'S MAKE OUT!"

"Oh no! Goggalor is headed for the orphanage!"

"This is it. The mental world!"
"It looks like a dentist's office."
"A mental dentist's office!"

"You leave Mr. Pokeylope alone!"

"Who is the Milkman? Where is the Milkman? What is the purpose of the goggles?"

"Although over time my husband will lose desire for me sexually, he will always love my pies. "

"Rainbow Squirts do not negotiate!"

"It’s fortified with what the world wants... what the world deserves."

"This place reminds me of high school...which is weird, because I'm only 10."

"I can't NOT look! It's like a horrible car accident! A car accident where the victims can't act and the paramedics forget their lines!"

"Okay, man, here’s the plan. Step one: I quit ‘we.’ Step two: ‘We’ – which is now just you – runs out there and gets killed painting the billboard."

"Have you seen hairless bear? In Russia, bears much smaller. Also less hair. Cannot lurk forever bear."

"Uh, excuse me, but my parents let me watch R-rated movies, so I think I would know a little more about this than you."

"So is this where I get a speech and learn another lesson?"
"No. Here is your merit badge. Let us never speak of this again."

"So if I’m not mistaken, you’re not Doctor Loboto, you don’t pay my salary, so kindly back away from my elevator and die. Thank you sir."

"That's... all... right... That's... O... K..."

SO GOOD.
Metal doesn't have a heart, because his body runs on gasoline (supplemented by caffine at times) instead of blood. Instead he has a network of smalls motors calibrated to operate at speed directly proportional to the amount of stupidity around him.

I'ma fall asleep on Corey in all ways possible, and by my count, there are at least 4.
Wow you must have never fallen asleep on him before, because your calculations are drastically low. I believe at last count the number reached over 5 digits.
If Chezzles becomes a problem, who's gonna solve it?
Getting knee'd is now known as "the public option".
omg I gots Earthbound :D
Hey.

Lixi.

You're fly's open.
Sorry, the only black guy I'd accept a blowjob from is Legan.

Edit: Chezzles I forgot to give you your Gamebridge back. I'll give it to you next time you and I are both at Binyans or something.
Kay, I'll pass that along and send him over when he gets done here.
That's fine with me Lixi.
are you fine with the first part of lixi's message, or the second? didn't think you'd handle rejection this well.
Wow.

I feel like the universe just completed itself.
Ninja Detective Treppy: Magical Moonlight Monday

"You'll never get out of here alive Treppy!" Deku gloated to the famous ninja detective, who lay tied to a railroad track.

"You were never one for originality, Deku!" Treppy was pretty cocky for someone about to be turned into Ninja Detective Roadkill, but he knew he couldn't lose focus or have fear. "Unfortuantely, I don't think I'm going to be run over by any trains today."

"Ha! No ninja tricks will save you this time! The 9:00 train is never late on Monday!" Deku checked his watch; it was 8:58, and it was definitely Monday. He had double-checked the schedule this morning. There would be no mistakes.

"There's just one detail you've overlooked, I suspect. This segment of track... is on top of a blimp!"

Deku looked around. This was true.

"NOOOOO! How could I make such a mistake! Impossible! There are no trains up here!"

"Except for one!" That voice? Could it be?

"ZANTASTIC ZETON!"

Before Deku could gasp, blink, or even shine, Zeton had flipped from his flying airship train and untied Treppy's binds. Treppy faced his nemesis, and announced "Alright Deku, I think it's finally time that we--"

If you think Treppy wants to do battle, turn to page 4.
If you think Treppy wants to grab some food, turn to page 18.
If you think Treppy wants to unleash his gaysian pride, turn to page YOSHI FOREVER.

wut
For all those curious as to how the story REALLY ended, Deku gave up and left quietly. I wondered why, and then noticed that his girlfriend had showed up. He was never seen again.




YOSHI FOREVER!
I did not know Treppy was the oldest account of everyone. Wow. Forever.
This worthless account is five years old today!

Yet, no matter how quickly time may pass, my love for you all will always be never-ending! :chuckle:
Hacking games cheapens the experience.
