He also got a troll badge.

You think he might've gotten the same badge if SWF had them on here, granted the guy isn't so much a troll as he is cocky/sensitive/thinks he's all that.

Too bad about him getting perma-banned though.

Lialch (can I call you that, since somebody already usesu Light here), I'll add you right now.

And yes, my first name is Jose.

Yeah he is pretty cocky. I was there watching him type his thread saying he is the best Ike on the 1st which is when he got banned so yeah!

Only if you do it excessively, you have to do a lot that isn't porn/advertising to get perma-banned.

Hey Kishini, not sure if this is the right place to do this or not, but I have you added. Once you add me, post here saying so and create a room. I'm going to be brawling with other people in the mean time.

I hate wifi.

And my MK sucks.

Besides that, for using QD as an aggressive attack: (as in, not a trap due to me messing up), you hit with maybe 2 that way, and got punished for at least 4. Most of the punishes were grabs due to the fact the lag was getting on my nerves, but you should have gotten the picture.

QD as a trap if the opponent messes up: sure, go ahead and gamble.

QD as a flat out attack: not good.

there should be a lot of videos of RoK the Reaper on youtube...

I have seen quite a bunch...

But I'm not sure on the real reason he was banned I know he was banned for like a month because of the sig rule and then he told me about something else calling Dr. Drew the Dragon just Dr. Drag because of making a big deal about posts being smaller then the sig so RoK kept posting with his sig on purpose.

Well I would certainly like to hear from somebody, all I know is that Buzz was the one who banned rok since he made that last thread on the Ike boards.

Regardless guys, don't be afraid to use this as a chatroom. Sure it's a forum and kind of the worst option you have, but I suppose it's better than not being able to communicate at all.

Is there someone good that lives around Nevada that has the ability to record matches able to play 3 or so matches with me some time? I'd like to get some help on my Ike through getting owned in those matches.

There's an excellent Ike player named Griever from Las Vegas (I think? I'm pretty sure but I could be wrong); I doubt he plays Wi-fi though. He's part of the Reno Smash Crew, I think.

That might be because RenoSmash or the majority of them don't like to be on Smashboards. While I can't really answer that question, the only thing you really can do is just go to the city of Reno and hope you find those guys.

That or at least go on something and check all the tourneys in the Reno area on AiB.

I think Tudor is a part of RenoSmash, but I can't say for sure.

Anyway I can't record, but if you happen to find a tourney here in Vegas where I am at, I could play Ike, though I'm not sure what dittos would solve/I use Sonic more and Ike for only MMs/friendlies.

You could also ask around, I'm pretty sure some other guys would be glad to help you out.

I love how I couldn't keep my word, feel behind to the point it almost took 2 months to update this, and just how thankful I am for that this is a sticky, I can't imagine it without it...

Anyway, couple of things I want to say + self rant, in that order respectively.

1. Bump, duh.

2. I kind of want more people to post in this... it's not just a matchmaker (a lot of success from what I see...), but also a locator... I know for example that Silven lives somewhere in the Atlantic North yes, but I haven't seen him in here (yet), not even to at least check in... *sigh* oh well.

3. Uhm... I just gotta say one more thing, but what was it... Oh well, I guess this will have to do for three...

Now for my stupid rant, because apparently I'm insecure lol. ...

I sometimes wonder, I'm not going to lie to you, I haven't been using Ike too much as of sometime ago... picked up sonic if it wasn't already obvious enough... and I wonder why I dropped Ike/why I feel some kind of regret for doing so... I though somebody out here might have an answer for me.

To me, I could relate to Sonic more than Ike... certainly Sonic has been around for quite some time, more than Ike for sure, and definitely a lot more in my life... TBH I haven't even played any of Ike's two games - Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn. I was attracted to Ike at first just because he looked badass on the website with those updates if anybody recalls. When Brawl did come out, he did feel awesome to play, what with the raw power and all that jazz, and it was the reason I was kind off turned off to play Sonic at first. I wanted to play him on the side just because it was Sonic for goodness sake, but he didn't feel natural was kind of weak for starters... little did I know then that my crappy Sonic wasn't even playing him seriously until later when I found this place, but that's getting away from the point.

So having no clue of competitive Brawl, of course I would be drawn to Ike just because I wanted to play him first and I had nobody to explain to/discourage me (by) just (telling me) how bad of an Ike I really was. One day bored on a Summer's day I came to this place, being tired of that stupid With Anyone Wi-Fi matchmaker and wanted to get a 1 on 1 fight... coincidentally my first match lol was made with another person who did play Sonic. If anybody remembers back when the friend finder was up, it was before the built-in chat and before it went offline, so I had to pick up AIM, which introduced me to another thing... but regardless of course being a scrub he beats me, but not by much I suppose. After a while of picking up more fights I thought I was making progress with my Ike, beating other people (now that I look back though a lot of them were scrubs like me XD) and all that jazz, and then I found the forum part of this place. No big deal, I'm just the random user going around everywhere looking around and posting when I had the chance to. As you can see, I had a lot of opportunities, some of them not really warranted but oh well too late now. Anyway I came across this place, read up and participated (even though I see now that I really wasn't needed) in discussions and blah blah blah.

I thought I had made further progression with Ike, but I question that. I'm not saying the blame is on the community around here, but is it just me and/or my lack of picking up lessons/faith? Something must've went wrong because here I am, and my Ike is seriously lacking... whereas my Sonic, once a lost cause, is now the only reason I still come back to Brawl (because honestly this isn't the best game I've played). Is it me that can't play Ike right (anymore?), or is it that I have a more Sonic-oriented style and just simply moved to a character that which I could do better with? Even if I did kind of get picked on around here I still loved to come here and check-up on whatever, just to try and get better with Ike... oh how I have probably failed that mission now... *sigh.*

Could it be that I am just out of practice with Ike and if I really did try hard enough I could make my Ike on par with my Sonic if not even better? Only way for me to find out would be to relearn everything and pick up on anything that's new, and put him into a competitive scene now that I am a part of a community as such. When I get the chance and went all Ike in a tourney again, I wish to see were I stand with him. I must be crazy though, is Ike a stand-alone character or am I just insane using these two characters who need secondaries to back them up and my Sonic made better criteria? (or am I just that good with low-tiers, if you really want to know, I do pretty d*** decent with Sonic and I haven't plateaued yet, I'm always getting better with him)

I'm not even sure If I have said everything I wanted to, but I know somewhere I made an oath, what that promise was I don't remember, but I know it had to do with Ike and/or Sonic and/or Brawl...

I think I'm attracted to Ike because of his playstyle and because he was sooooooooo godly in his first game, Path of Radiance. Sonic seems to be COMPLETELY different from Ike; he's must faster, has more tricks up his sleeve, and I admit that there was something very scary when you see him charging up and you have never fought him before. Ike, however, is very predicable and limited with his slower, more spacing-oriented game; I can see why you would have more of an affinity for Sonic.

But yeah, I think it's just that you're tired of Ike's playstyle; just lay off him for a while, and I'm sure you'll want to pick him up again later in the future.
