The Austin Smash 4 Thread - Weeklies are now at OOPLES!

Nap time over. Back to practicing falco and messing with my controls.

 

[Sky Pirate]

Y-button-special? :3

 

[Mike2]

Oh yes sirrrrr. I kept crying "HOW DO THEY DO THIS!?".
But it makes sense when you finally realize what must be done.

Hey you won this one. That must be how most of the games went.

 

[Sky Pirate]

SILENCE, SMOOTHIE KING.
We will settle this again on a day when I have the patience to consistently time you out.

But yeah, Joel, it's easier to explain this in writing rather than speech.

• Set "Y" to Special and "X" to Jump.
• Shield
• Hold "Up" on the control stick while still in shield
• Roll your thumb across from "X" to "Y" (while still holding up)

Explanation: Basically, you're canceling the shield drop animation with your jump and canceling the jump with an up special.
You can also apply this to things like Usmash OoS (replace the "Y" with "A") and JC Reverse UpB (while dashing, just do press in the opposite direction and roll your thumb from "X" to "Y"). Just play around with it.

 

[PantyRaider08]

Thank you for that, but I won't need that with falco.

 

[Sky Pirate]

Could also help learn JC Reverse Usmash, though. It's all pretty similar.

 

[DelxDoom]

Do you guys think you could make saturday? or should I try reminding a bit later lol

1 game out of like 10 or more. I wouldn't count on it.

 

[Zigsta]

Probably won't make Saturday. I'm working on getting a date.

 

[Sky Pirate]

So... See you Saturday?

 

[Zigsta]

So... See you Saturday?

NOPE.

 

[DelxDoom]

k who is second in command? D:

 

[theeboredone]

Eh...I'll be going home this weekend, so I'm unavailable.

 

[DelxDoom]

ffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

alright, austin brawl, 2 deconfirms

 

[PantyRaider08]

Going to my hometown too.

 

[DelxDoom]

huh, anything special going on, or just a coincidence? anyway, how many people about are in your scene? we are in the 20s i would think.
if brawl is similar there needs to be a LOT more deconfirming before brawl players decide not to show up at all.

 

[Sky Pirate]

Going to my hometown, too.

 

[Mike2]

Or we could just try to figure out a different day.

 

[DelxDoom]

Prob. Melee tries to meet on campus every 2 weeks, so that might put things into perspective.

 

[theeboredone]

At best, Brawl has about 10 total people. So yeah, we're definitely a smaller community, and that is saying if everyone shows up.

 

[JOS.fm]

there are a lot of people wanting to play brawl. you guys can utilize the smash club to tap into that potential group. it'll be a little work to represent the game, but ultimately i feel it'll be worthwhile.

 

[Sky Pirate]

Okay, back in my hometown of Elgin. So is anyone else interested in going to that?
I'd be interested and possibly willing to drive people (especially because I don't know my way around campus and would need a guide) if we can get 4+ brawlers.

I'm really no good at Melee now AND I main Kirby in it, BTW.

 

[Mike2]

I'll go

 

[Sky Pirate]

That's two.

I'll show up in the future when I have time.

 

[Sky Pirate]

Just played Ten Desires for the first time. ****, that's too trippy for 2 AM.

I'm guessing nobody else is interested in meeting with the Melee players this weekend?
If not, let's just reschedule for like... October 15th.

 

[theeboredone]

Eh it's not that. I would be if I were in town.

 

[Sky Pirate]

Perhaps I should rephrase that for clarity:

"I'm guessing nobody else is able to meet with the Melee players this weekend?

By the way, does anyone know a good place to buy a nintendo GC controller?
I can only find these cheap third-party ones.

Totally came up in my mind while reading these last pages.

For brand new official ones the best place would probably be online. That's where I bought both of mine. Try eBay.

 

[theeboredone]

Ebay or Amazon are your best bets.

Craiglist too.

 

[theeboredone]

Change of plans...bus tickets are sold out, so I can't go home. If anyone is down for Smash, let me know.

 

[Mike2]

God I'm so confused with this melee stuff. So we're combining the brawl and melee community? What does that entail? What's going on this week? Who made the poltergust facebook account? Can Brock Lesnar beat Alistair Overeem?

 

[DelxDoom]

I think the general idea is to host a brawl fest and a melee fest in the same general vicinity so that we attract new members through representing more of the series. Dunno how I'm going to spread the word but I encourage everyone to try. really wish i knew where the venue was LOL

 

[PantyRaider08]

What?! That's absurd. I've boughten my bus tickets 20 mins before departure and have been fine each time. Dang Dallas is the place to be this weekend.

 

[Maaaaaaaaaan]

Ziggy! I saw 50/50 a couple days ago for a screening. Go see it, it's definitely good.

I forgot how good Joseph Gordon-Levitt is, and Seth Rogan is in his best type of role: Funny, realistic male sidekick. Whole movie takes itself seriously, and the comedy is honestly split 50/50 with the drama. See what I did there? :O

But yeah, the movie's definitely good.

 

[Sky Pirate]

I forgot how good Joseph Gordon-Levitt is

HOW?

 

[Maaaaaaaaaan]

Because it's been 100 years since he's been in something new. :O

 

[Sky Pirate]

...touché, sir.
I could swear that he was in some stuff recently, but it mustn't have been anything big or worth remembering.

 

[Maaaaaaaaaan]

He was in Inception. That's all I can think of. XD
