i haven't touched melee since TX. Since brawl is upon us, i just have lost all competitive interest in melee..but i'll play it w/ all u guys if ya'll still want. Just date an LA smashfest at kyle's place or whatever and we can all get together for melee and boos and stuff, hehe.
Instead, i've been playing No More Heroes (just beat it), very fun and hard GTA/Final Fight mix style anime run-around combo people to death beat-em-up w/ mini-game missions.
it def has its weak points..but overall, i enjoyed it, and may play it through again on its unlocked difficulty.

*Slight character spoilers I guess... Lol*

Yeah I'm the same way with Melee now... I haven't touched it since that tournament like 3 weeks ago... Just Brawl's ever-growing closeness to US release... Excitement! Lol. Yeah, but anywho for those interested, Youtube has all sorts of vids posted now including the new stages and several of the new characters in action. Wolf seems to be a good variation of Fox so despite lack of Geno and Isaac (T_T), it still seems an OK roster. And for those who are interested, this one guy on youtube is posting a bunch of just the musical tracks of the game. Seems really good so far. If you want some links to stuff, my AIM is VashTheSlick... But I'm sure you could all find it on your own anyway. XD

As for mains, off my favorites alone, I'm probably gonna go for a Lucario, PT, Sonic, and Wolf mains with a side of Lucas maining. Also, Cyphus, you got me kinda interested in No More Heroes... I've heard it's good so I might give it a shot the more I hear about it. What is everyone else playing while waiting for Brawl, if not Melee? I was thinking No More Heroes, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, and possibly even getting another and opposite copy of Pokemon D/P to start it up again... :p

I've been playing a lot of AW:DoR, Puzzle Quest, Bomberman Land Touched 2 (Just downloaded it today~ : O ), watching a lot of anime, and hanging out with the girlfriend while waiting.. Though...I've yet to explain to her that come March 9th, I will not be leaving my room for a few months... : x

the return of a pro, and alcoholism.

so im a smash pro again. no worries to the community.

before elissa came to br, there was a guy she had known for like a year and a half and was interested in. she asked him out and his response was "i am unable to have a relationship." so she comes here for like 6 months and in the last 2 weeks of her being here, we get involved. she goes back and hes like so who's the guy in your facebook pic? she explains the situation with her and i and the dude's like oh that sucks, i wanted to be with you. shes like what? mindgames. you said you couldnt have a relationship. he says well yeah but i didnt think you were going to go get involved with someone else. so my past week has been hell with her trying to decide what she was going to do. he was a little ***** about the whole thing, first of all only wanting her because she was now pseudo taken, then he refused to talk to her for like a week, then when they finally talk hes like a self abusive emo kid. but who am i to judge, i dont know him. so it's been really lame and finally she gave me the news tonight (after she finally talked to him yesterday) that she wanted to try a relationship with him. the whole week shes been assuring me that it's just an idea she has and i shouldnt worry and she really wants to be with me, but maybe im just a pessimist when it comes to relationships but i expected this the whole time. i mean, she was totally upset; completely bawling crying and repeatedly saying not to hate her and please stay in her life. she also assured me that if i was there with her, this wouldnt be an issue and we would be together for sure. she obviously cared a lot. so im beginning to think this is possibly the worst break up ever and im completely devastated (mindgames, we werent ever even actually together, hah!).

okthxbai.

"Just pull a Greg on her. Just let her know like a week before... maybe a few days."

How is that like me?

I've been playing NiGHTS on the Wii. It's hard as **** to control with the pointer.

Kind of what you did with your job, Greg. You were like, "Oh, by the way, I'm leaving. Ciao."

http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=1 just a option incase someone isnt bored of melee.

-taylor i dont think that going to work man. Like there prolly going to end up dating, then you will get ****ed and eventually she'll prolly try to avoid conversating with you.

I had a very fun time last night playing smash 64 with some freinds of mine, who are actually pretty good at 64 smash, but not melee. just cause there was less **** to learn in 64. but overall it was awesome.


does anyone want to play tonight maybe? taylor, vaughn, eric, ken, greg?

olimar- can rack up damage with pikmin, purple pikmin are strong,bad recovery

this is probly one of the videos ive seen, and everyone should watch it *spoilers*
www.youtube.com/?v=Kr9EoMXWEGo

its a match between 2 top tier worthy characters, and is a sign of things to come for competitive b5awl, pit plays just like i imagined usinf his arrows like falcos shl

this is another good one 5hat shows how good diddy is and how much skill is required to use snake

IC's for low tier.. I dun think so, Yoshi can't be that bad, Marth is fine, link needs to be higher DK and Ness can't be that bad

marth should be banned. He's like his melee form....but with all his aerial attacks having ganon-power, and his f.smash is ACTUALLY stronger than in melee...PLUS his counter works like Roy's now...ADDITIONALLY his speed didn't get nerfed like most others, and his floatyness serves to make his recovery even better.
WHY SAKURAI!?????????????????????????????????????

Yeah, I played brawl for a bit. Im kinda terrible at it -_-..

I kept l-canceling all my aerials, but there is no lcancel so i wasted all my time hah.

Also, jump-canceled grabs are out so I just accidentally jumped over people instead. I never really got over not using them so I kinda sucked. But I guess instead, dash grabbing or shield to grab ? Anyway, dash dancing is really hard, I couldn't seem to do it, you just kind of dash off in one direction...it may be possible with a slightly different timing.

Another neat thing is you can attack after air-dodging, which is cool..you can also just kinda keep airdodging as you fall...but it works a bit differently, as I don't think you're invulnerable as long.

one thing that really annoyed me was how hard you have to press the shield button....all the way down. In melee, even beyond lightshielding, you can shield by pressing about 2/3 the way down on r, but on brawl you have to slam that **** down...its kinda weird, and i found myself not shield half the tme -_-


some character things i noticed:

Peach still has float canceling, which is cool...but her dsmash gets nerfed in range.

Captain falcons aerials are kinda laggy since no lcancel, but his uair has less landing lag than an l-canceled uair in melee (or maybe equivalent to..) so you can still do like uair, uair knee (since the knee will connect you don't worry about landing lag)...but as far as pressuring shields with shffls, thats pretty much a no go with c falcon.


shieks dair sends her straight down, like kirbys down b lawl....other than that shes still good.

and jiggly is def not the "same as melee"...she suks :x she has no horizontal movement with aerials, that is..you cant pressure a shield with wop, because aerials kind of stunt your movement.

and snake seemed to have a lot of startup lag on his aerials...he could have potential but its hard to say


Marth is really good...Kyle is going to be gay.



Ill prolly play some more tuesday.... but im prolly gonna be learning lucas(I really like how he plays), sonic, pkmn trainer and maybe wolf...he seems good ...all those people interest me for now...

ps zelda is buffed, and the kick is still too good....vaughn owns more with a faster grab, dins fire and better kick x.x

there is no l-cancel, this means u have to knno how much lag every move has and base ur strategy around it, fir instance fox can still drillshine but u have to time it so the dair animation stops right before u hit the ground and then shine. in the end i think it makes for deeper gameplay...

ShyGuy has a good point. Hopefully, if that theory is true, competitive smash will still live in Brawl, just in a very differen't manner than Melee.

Anyone going to Mardi Gras?

yeah, ill be in NO tommorow, and then Ill prolly play some more brawl wed before hanging out with stephanie.

and there are still new strats and way to cancel lag...just cause its different doesn't mean its bad. although, be prepared to get humbled and suck and have to relearn everything :p ...its definitely not melee. it look like 2 years to discover wavedashing, and new melee strategies come out all the time... i asset brawl will be similar in fashion.

Hey Taylor. Sorry that that **** happened. If there's anything I could do to help you feel better, just give me the word. I'm not sure if there's much I could do, but I'll try if I can. I know how that whole situation goes. Also, sorry about that random girl that called you today. I was letting my friend's girlfriend use my phone.

so here's what's really important... f all this brawl crap.
my mom is currently a man. also, i currently hold the entire universe as my own. i know many people have been challenging me for the universe, but quite frankly im tired of waking up and seeing my very own mother's morning wood. for those interested, if you win you get the universe and my mom remains having a c0ck. how ever if you lose, i control the cosmos and you'll have to be the one watching out for pokes when you hug your mom.

rules for your mom is a man match, set forth by lee and i at fc:d
best 2/3
random chars, random all stages, no items.
no repeats in chars or stages, and best of all;
no johns.

any takers?

yeah i got to play brawl again today, and im definitly gonna play more Pit, Sonic, Lucas and Pkmn Trainer..theyre fun ^^

I noticed a few interesting things when playing...

I only noticed it with ZSS but it may be possible with other characters with an extentable grab. When dashing in one direction, you can do a turn around grab, grabbing in the opposite direction, when you use z and press the direction you wish to grab. This could be useful if an opponent is shielding, run past the shield to the right of them, do a turn-around grab and throw to edgeguard, or KO.

Another interesting thing I noted was that you cant ledge hop(that is, even press down or back to fall off the edge) until your invisibility frames run out on the edge. This prevents you from using invincibility frames to attack a recovering opponent. No more easy shine spikes either :0

Sooooooo.. Brawl is indeed awesome. It's better than melee in my opinion by far. Way more strategies to incorporate. Zelda's still my main, because she is amazing and still my favorite, but I'll be trying out some Toon Link, Zero Suit Samus, and Sonic as well.

Zelda indeed got buffed quite a bit. Faster movement, aerials, smashes, and grabs. More killing moves too. Including Farore's Wind.. No joke.. It was the winning move in one of my games with Eric. The kick is a little harder to sweet spot, but I don't know the hit boxes of all of the characters yet, I just know where the kick itself is, so a little practice will definitely help. Din's Fire is extremely fast now. It releases right when you let go of the b button and there's very little lag after. As you can see, I'm VERY excited about this. =D

Brawl's awesome.

I'm focusing a lot on Ike, Link, Marth, Pit and Sheik, because I'm irrationally crazy about swords and people who use them (also I'm a equally irrational Zelda fanboy).

Does the JP import have a Languge change selection like Melee?

Mura, I'm thinking no. Two reasons. The first being that the whole reason for not releasing the games at the same time (aside from distribution [which wouldn't account for a month and 10 days anyway]) is translation. On top of that, every game I've imported, or gotten a copy of the Japanese version by other means, pre-US release have not had the option.

Sudai, most of the places I read was that the major delay for the US release was Wifi issues. Apparently, US routers are different and the wifi dev team didn't fully explore that notion previously. I, of course, could've just happened across all bs sources.

Eric, if you play again, try the turnaround grab with someone without an extended grab. I was reading about that on the general brawl board and according to that person, it was always possible to do.

I'm with you, Freddy. Wolf all the way. He's beastly.
