in the end a wiimote user with nunchuck cant fully compete with a cstick cuz of the speed advantages.
Ummm I seem to do just fine....... however I will be switching to GC controller mostly because I've discovered unwanted input when I play with wiimote nunchuck. Plus in high level play (atleast the stuff I've seen) most people don't mash smashes. They are timed and weighed with advantages and disadvantages in mind. Not with "how fast can I push a button/s". Besides, you can only smash as fast as your chosen character will allow.



EDIT: BTW I'll be in Lubbock November 14th if anyone wants to plan something.

lol still talking about that????
You thought the thread was dying. I merely brought up the most recent topic that I could comment on. Free laser tag almost always sucks, and that's all there is to say about that........Just thought I'd point out you probably just suck. Yeah, its kinda harsh and I'm no pro, but from what I've seen people can play with wiimote+nunchuck just as well as everyone else using a c-stick.

brawl takes no skill anyways, who cares. i picked one character and spammed one move and when they got close i smashed with my c stick... and i won almost every time except when playing felix or ryan and even then id get them a few times. brawl is a game of trading hits. its as slow as balls and im pretty sure a ****** with downs could play brawl just as good as anyone else can.


and yes fmatt has beat all of us with his **** wii mote and nunchuck at least once or twice on more than one occasion.

lol, thread is heating up again =D. I say we just drop the c-stick issue. King has either concluded that we are either too closed minded to listen to his argument, or that we are actually probably right, but he doesn't want speak his mind on these boards. Either way, I don't believe he wants to continue talking about it.

lol....that i suck huh??? well if i suck that means adam sucks, and felix is little better than sucky.. and most people on here suck. thats just if your statement is correct .. i mean you said " you suck" and if im the at that level.. then sweeeeeet and i know they can play just as well.. my whole argument was it gives a SLIGHT speed advantage. and slight advantages can mean the difference you all know that

lol that was what I was thinking but I decided not to post.

anyways, apparently people are now hacking brawl and it is catching on. I think that is really cool that the community can actually make its own game practically, I look forward to trying out this hacked version people have been playing (you know w/ the whole they added wavedashing and such). now we really do have the power to make this game as good as we want. I always loved game mods for PC games and I really like that people are doing this for Brawl.

as for my continuation of playing brawl, I like brawl and melee and I cant really decide which I like better, but I do know I liked the melee community better just because it didn't constantly cry to ban stuff. people are now considering a metaknight ban and even though I hardly even play metaknight anymore, just knowing that the community is filled with whiny little *****es like this makes me not want to play brawl. I understand stage bans, many stages are very exploitable and don't accurately depict player skill. but character bans and tactic bans are going too far, they already banned MK infinite cape (when very easily a simple rule against using it to stall could be made) even though no one EVER used it to win a tournament match ANYWHERE. any more unwarranted bans and I'm not sure I'll continue to play brawl at all. (just FYI I dont think anyone here is like this, it is stupid people on allisbrawl and smashboards who I dont even know that are whining about it)

anyways fmatt I'll see that we have a tourney on the 14th or 15th. I'll go edit the first post.


oh and sorry guys for not having a brawl tourney this month I got lazy I suppose :p

Yayz! Old time's sake Tournament. As an answer for South I'll say this. Most people on the boards do suck. As for Adam I can't really say. I haven't played him since last semester. When I played him then he wasn't especially good, but as in melee he still shows great potential. If he continues to play with Ryan and everyone he will improve and become quite proficient.

Also I agree with Felix on banning things however I disagree with hacking Brawl or atleast adding things to it. I know no one would mind if tripping happened to disappear. Other than that I think people have just been too lazy to think of a way around the so called "broken" strategies. I've not really been hard at it myself, but I think where there's a will there's a way. I know I say this a lot but we spent way longer figuring out melee.

hahaha, I love it =)

King VS Crono! I got $5,000.00 on King, any takers? Lol, jest messin' around =D.

King:

my whole argument was it gives a SLIGHT speed advantage. and slight advantages can mean the difference you all know that
You know... I really don't think your argument was that at all. I got the implication was that the c-stick was too easy to use / lame / etc. So I can't really let you go on that one...

And when you said statements like this:

in the end a wiimote user with nunchuck cant fully compete with a cstick cuz of the speed advantages.
It really makes me think that you believe the c-stick is more powerful than it really is.

Also, they actually nerfed the c-stick since Melee because pressing c-stick down after the apex of your jump in Brawl will make you fast fall, which didn't happen in Melee. Also, in Melee you had crouch cancelling which made it where you can do smash attacks right after taking a small hits (peach players d-smash).

The main benefits the c-stick give in Brawl are retreating aerials and ensuring that you don't waste your double jump on your u-aerial, which you can turn off anyways, in Brawl.

Also, I fully recognize I said I recommend we drop the issue, but when you take a different stance than you initially started arguing, I'm going to say SOMETHING. Lol...

Anyways dude, I have absolutely no beef with you and everyone knows I just like people getting deeper and deeper into the games, giving everyone a more competitive (and funner) environment. But can't you at least maybe consider thinking that the c-stick might be a lot less powerful than you think it is?

Maybe I'll play the next tournament with the **** wii-mote, lol. Give Felix a chance to redeem himself from the nasty Melee DK combos, lol =D.

That was the funnest tournament ever. Better than any EVO, lol =).

(jk. I can't even joke, EVO was too **** fun.)

EDIT:

Wait, do we have a tournament coming up or not? I forget... If we do, is it going to be Brawl or Melee? I'd like to play Melee again maybe, I haven't had fun with those types of combos in ages =(.

because there probably wont be enough interest. brawl is still the newer game and will probably draw more people.

plus you probably wouldn't come anyways so I'm not going to cater to you lol
