Except for the ridiculously long unskippable cutscenes, I think the game was really great.

The use of psynergy to solve dungeon puzzles makes creative solutions, the djinn system gives you options to customize your characters stats and spells, the rare equipment is pretty awesome, and the secret boss was pretty hard. The storyline is great, not knowing each character's true motives until the end. The only thing the series really missed out on was sidequests.

Sure I'll do a $1 fox dittos mm. I am starting to learn the match ups alot better with Fox. Not as well as the Mewtwo match ups tho :p. I just need more practice with Fox >.>

EDIT: I am bored at work so I'll add my 2 cents about Golden Sun. It was a great RPG. I enjoyed the unique art style it had with the battles. I never got around to playing the 2nd one tho =/.

If I can't do it today, I'll have all the details tomorrow at like 1:15. If a bunch of good people come its going to be freaking hilarious. All the local terriables are going to get rolled LOLOLOLOL.

So yea... I'm not going to be able to make that tourney jay...

Maybe this will help make up for it:

You may have seen it already, but if not it should make you happy.


Goose, no smash today, sorry. I may have an opportunity Tues or Wed, what do you guys think? Will there be smash on either of those days?

KSO, confirmed, I am slower than I was at the last tourney, but it's no biggie.

Also... I think I'm starting to take smash less and less seriously the more I play. Not really a bad thing, I have fun either way, but I got to play with my little bro this morning and was doing some pretty goofy stuff.

they are leaving on tuesday so there probably won't be smash on tuesday or wednesday at my place at all due to my 8 hour shifts on both days. If you want to play, PM me and we can set up a time when we can get together.

Also, being slower =/= getting worse. Speed just comes with just playing. If you are continuing to develop your mindgames, speed should not be an issue as long as you are still consistently playing.

Hmm...I don't know. Everytime I feel like my Samus is getting stale, I try playing other characters for a while. Most times, when I've gone back, something ended up improving with my Samus. Of course, I do hope my Marth gets good enough for me to at least not be exclusive to Samus anymore.

every time i had trouble with a tech, i would just sit down and do it like 50 times in a row.

then i could do it lol

practicing stuff by yourself can get stuff down quicker cuz it is more concentrated practice

I've seen you do all of that in match against me before....


Also, I learned how to waveshine with fox today. I've been trying it for a while, and at one point I had sat down for like 1/2 an hour periods trying to do it but never got it once. Today I randomly picked fox and was playing a level 1 cpu... so I hit him off the edge so I decided to try to wave shine until he comes back, and for some reason something just "clicked" and there you go. I can't combo them though, maybe that's because I was trying against falcon and can't perfect WD. I really need to learn that. Any advice? (that'd help in many areas, waveshining, wd oos, and just general spacing...) I tried to learn to moonwalk today, I got it once, then got bored and worked on WD OOS instead... that's a lot more useful...

Anyway, let me know when the next smash fest/tourney is, I want to play.

pretty much same story of mine.. lol

I COULD NOT waveshine for 2 years.. >_>

and one day, i was playing fox when i was talking on the phone at the same time.,
i pulled out 3 consequtive waveshines.

after that happened, i can do it, though i am not fluent at it.

Yea, that happens to me with like 1/2 of the stuff I learn... No real complaints though. I can combo stuff like shine>upsmash no prob, and probably shine>grab if I tried, but I can't get multiple shines in a row.... But it's good fun, and I'm pretty impressed with myself.

So I'm picking up a ton of chars and seeing who sticks around...

Fox: Loads of fun to use, I might use as a peach counter... I hate peach... And it gives me a bunch of technical stuff to practice, that's always fun. (No joke)

Falco: Been messing with him for a while, but my shine bairs are much better. If I get my pillaring a bit better he'll probably stay.

Marth: I like his speed, and his matchups, but I don't think he'll stay because I don't like his "feel" much right now...

DK: Using him more, I like his feel and edgeguarding.

Roy: I like his feel. He's not good at all, but hey, he H45 T3H PH1R3!
I hate leet...

Sheik is too boring to use unless I really need her, Falcon's staying for sure. His combos are just hard to use, so I'm still trying to get good with him...

And who knows whose next?

Any advice about any of these chars? Like really important stuff.

In my mind, it doesn't count as being able to do a tech unless you can do it in game with 90+% consistency, which I cannot, for any of them.

I am starting to drill myself more, since I have more free time in the summer. I can see myself getting better, so that's good.

@ Faithkeeper

Character advice:

Fox: Don't bother trying to learn how to waveshine-shine. 95% of the time, you get just as much value from waveshine-grab or waveshine-usmash, so focus on that first. Fox has a decent enough matchup against peach, but it's annoying as **** to play. The only things you're allowed to do are laser camp and usmash, and if you make a minor mistake, that's usually good for 30-60 damage or a stock. Marth and Sheik make better peach counters IMO.

Marth: utilt is so bad. Never use it. It's not like its speed, priority, and hitbox are all ridiculous.

DK: DK ditto me!!!
