Oh Miz. He's asking for an *** kicking, but that promo worked like hell.

I also really want that "Hello! I'm AWWEEEEEESSOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEE!" shirt.

EDIT: hahaha Miz using the People's Elbow on Cena. That was pretty gold right there.

wtf happened to this poor thread :c

cmart I'll see you tonight. Need to wash this wrestling crap out of my system with some good old-fashioned smash (with REAL fighting instead of all this pretend stuff).

It's kinda sad when a wacky party game has more realistic fighting than ... a "professional sport" centered around fighting.

Oh tell him I'll sell him my DS for $40 next time I see him if he still wants it. Charger included. That's well under market value for a used DS Lite (at least according to the 5 minutes of research I did on ebay).

Man you guys see the ****storm in the Pound V Melee results thread? There were a lot fewer attendees than anticipated so Plank had to use all the payout money to pay for the venue and has nothing left for the winners. It's a ****ty situation to be sure, mostly due to very poor planning on Plank's part, but it is what it is.

What I find most interesting is the very different reactions from the Melee winners vs the Brawl winners. The Melee winners are all saying, "Man that sucks, but it's a ****ty situation and we understand :(" and the Brawl winners are all saying, "**** YOU PLANK, I'M GONNA SUE YOU! I HOPE YOU GO TO JAIL!" I wish I were exaggerating but I'm not. It's literally split down Melee/Brawl lines like that (I haven't seen M2K's response yet though). Keep in mind that the Melee winners would've won about twice as much money as the Brawl winners due to the bigger Melee turnout, and the Melee winners also traveled much farther on the whole.

Also funny how people in that thread keep saying, "Man this is the most people viewing one thread I've ever seen!!!" when the Project M thread had twice as many when we were launching the demo :cool: The P:M thread is now the most viewed thread on all of smashboards and it's only what ... a little over a year old? Get *****.

Final count: that thread - 220, Project M thread - 268

I did read a post from M2K discussing the situation, and he was salty. Not quite as salty as some of the other Brawl players, but still salty. I'll see if I can find it again.

Edit: http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=12318167&postcount=99

i mean lets keep it real here if someone owed u 1000 dollars then spent it on something else would u not be salty? but i digress the way the brawl players went about it was terrible. ESAM's post was probably the worst one

M2k didn't even get money from brawl singles

Ally lives off the game, and he's the only one saying he's going to pursue legal action.

Edit: I missed Esam post

Razer, anti, and the others haven't said anything yet. Fatal won't be too upset.

Never said he shouldn't be mad salty. I understand that he lost a big sum of money that he should be paid, and I especially understand since he's trying to help his mom out as well as himself.

I'm just saying salt is salt though. That's all. I can understand why everyone's so pissed off though.

Yeah Anti chimed in multiple times, dunno how you missed that Tant. ADHD too, though he didn't seem quite as ... vindictive as the other Brawl winners.

Let's change the topic though because I really don't want those guys namesearching and spamming up this thread. Then again it is more interesting than wrestling talk...

So how's that new pogeymans game? Any especially cool new pokemon? How are triple battles?

It's actually really nice. Much better than Ruby/Sapphire and Diamond/Pearl (Platinum was surprisingly good though because of the Giratina subplot, but Black/White still beat it), but not quite on the level of Red/Blue or Gold/Silver. Honestly this is the first gen since Gold/Silver where I'm actively engaged in playing the in-game part rather than saying "ok I'm just going to blitz through this as fast as I can so I can transfer my old stuff over and start the competitive aspect".

The story so far has been very enjoyable. I heard they took out some of the sexual inneuendo from the Japanese version though

In the japanese version, going in the Ferris Wheel with a hiker resulted in a dialogue with a lot of sexual innuendo (ej, "Boy it is sure wet, hot, and sweaty up here...you feel me boy?"). There's also a hint in Castelia City about an orgy party going on ("Eek! the man over the elevator touched me! Is that the kind of party they're having up there?")
...but I can imagine why they did. They did leave one gem where you get to ride the Ferris Wheel alone with a Female Clerk trainer and she starts sobbing and asks you to hold her while the screen fades to black...then she asks you to ride it again with her sometime ;). Apparently it's also littered with Mother 3 references, but I'm not familiar with Mother 3, so you'll have to ask Waffle about that. The only thing that pisses me off about the storyline is that Team Plasma seems like another incompetent, bumbling group under the leadership of a manipulative ******* much like Team Magma/Aqua and Team Galactic were. **** these ineffectual *******s, bring back Team Rocket. They were the only group I could really take seriously because they're just criminals rather than some group with a well-intentioned yet extreme cause. Team Rocket just want to steal money and conduct horrible experiments on Pokemon. **** yeah : coolshades :.

The presentation is nice too. Music is good but the graphics are phenomenal imo. The stationary bridge sequence was unreal. They also have some really nice shots of the Ferris Wheel and the Charizard Bridge (seriously, that's what they called it because it looks so...majestic XD. Not even kidding, they say something almost akin to that). And the cities are so much more vast.

Gameplay's much faster, and some of the gym leaders are really hard. If you're not going in to the 2nd or 4th gyms with ONE certain kind of Pokemon, you WILL get wrecked even if you're overleveled. I heard the 3rd one was pretty hard too, but I blew by that handily with the com mon bird.

Initially, I didn't like the new designs at all, but since playing it I've really warmed up to some of them. Honestly I just thought my runthrough was just going to involve my starter + 5 herp derp mons for the lulz/HM slave potential. My two favorites by far are Serperior (grass snake) and Hydreigon (dark/dragon hydra), and both of their designs outdo anything Gen 3 or 4 came up with (I only liked 1 or 2 designs from Gen 3, and the only reaon Gen 4 had as many good designs as it did were because of all the evolutions to previous gen Pokemon). Hell Serperior is probably my favorite starter design of all time baring Charizard. Other Pokemon I ended up liking are Zebstrika (Thunderhorse...obv XD), Zekrom, Braviary, Excadrill, Krookodile, Galvantula, and Zoroark. And of course I like all the obviously herp derp Pokemon in their own special way :D.

Haven't run into any triple battles yet. Rotation battles are lots of fun though.

Honestly, as much as I want to recommend this to you...I would say wait until Gray. The 3rd versions are consistently better than the original versions and if the leap in quality is as big as it was from Diamond/Pearl to Platinum, then Gray will probably end up being just as enjoyable as Red/Blue and Gold/Silver.

Edit: Oh they also have "Metal Slime" type Pokemon in the form of Audino, so in-game grinding isn't as painful as it once was.

Edit #2: Also Nate notified me as to the hilarity of the **** Monkey's White Pokedex info...which somehow made it past American censors and is still in the game. I'll c/p it for you once I get to work.

Pokedex said:
Darumaka's droppings are hot, so people used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm.

im not getting involved in this situation, nor to i know all the details. all i know is that there was an issue with the hotel and smashers being ignorant *******es is the most likely cause of the issue. i mean not disrespect to plank btw.

on a 2nd note, thank god for laijin switching the topic ;)

Okay, wait a minute.

with REAL fighting instead of all this pretend stuff
You are "fighting" with giant lizards, pokemon, 2D "people", and monkeys. This all takes place in a virtual (pretend) world where no one "playing" the game actually gets hurt.

Wrestling on the other hand is scripted, but it causes serious physical damage to the wrestlers resulting in major injuries all the time. REAL people fake fight that result in REAL injuries. The real injuries are accidents and but are a direct result of the wrestling.

It is also not a professional sport. They call it "Sports Entertainment". It is not a sport, nor do they pretend it to be.

more realistic fighting
Really? People and creatures jump multiple times in the air, defy earth physics constantly, shoot each other with lasers and explosives, never actually die just fall off screen, and have multiple lives (with exception to the Undertaker that is not true for others, generally). And the fighting takes place on a 2.5 dimensional plane.

Lawyered.

Yep Laijin changing the subject from Pokemon to the subject JCz wanted to avoid talking about when he brought up Pokemon.

Good **** indeed XD.

Also on the subject of "real" fighting, just think about this:

Melee Falco up-tilt.

That automatically discredits Smash as real fighting.

Kenny Omega is one of my favorite wrestlers ever. Take the time to check these vids out.

This is easily one of the greatest hardcore matches I have ever seen. At one point their fighting in the mdidle of a lake. Some insane **** happens during the match. Wrestling fans. Please do watch and become a Kenny Omega fan today.

I almost made a valid post on how cmart should start being more reckless and less safe.

Seriously BadGuy wrote a dissertation on what you could do to "improve". I imagine you and JCz's training session today was completely fruitless because you guys play so safe.

So I just noticed cmart is actually pronounced "smart".
I never said it out loud till now.
I always just called him C-MART. lol.
I had noticed and wondered about this before. I think I'll stick with pronouncing it C-Mart though; C-Mart sounds more gangsta. Rapper name right there.

And yeah your Bowser looks good. Absolutely nothing wrong with playing patiently, fugg unnecessary risks. :p

BOWSER TIME-OUTS GOOOO

Actually our matches still tend to end really fast. cmart is just a smart player. He's got that old school Melee blood in his veins.

Safe =/= camping.
