Oh yeah man, we need to. If I saw you on I would have sent you an invite, most likely it was my brother playing some other game or something. I have been going through all the Mega Man X games lately on the gamecube, but I plan on playing more SFIV now, again.

What a dead thread, Smash sucks.

Hey, finally the fighting game community is getting straight on what "priority" is in fighting games.
I read this checking out some SF4 stuff:
------------------------
"MOVE PRIORITY.
Is there a golden rule for move priority while two characters are in the air? like does a light kick beat a hard kick, does a hard punch beat a light kick? is there a rule like this? i cant seem to find the info anywhere?
There is no such thing as priority. It's just a vague notion derived from other properties of the moves. Such as: Startup frames, Active frames, Recovery frames, Invincible frames, hit-boxes, and/or hitable-boxes.
A jumping light kick may beat a hard kick because the light kick has less startup and hits the hard kick before the hard kick can hit you back. But that doesn't mean a hard kick can't beat a light kick if you get the hard kick out early enough.
You might say a Dragon Punch has a lot of "priority" because it seems to beat out everything. But a Dragon Punch doesn't beat out everything because it has some sort of high priority value. Dragon Punches tend to beat out other moves because it has Invincibility frames. Moves are actually whiffing through the Dragon Punch, and then the Dragon Punch hits you. But it's still possible to beat a Dragon Punch with good timing and careful positioning of the hit-boxes. (Though it's still probably better to just block it if you know it's coming.)
Beneath the pretty graphics, the game is just a bunch of rectangles moving around each other."
------------------------
I've had the "Priority" argument so many times with so many people, it's not even funny.

Basically I gonna say the peak happened when I was there, and now that I'm gone no one trys to run anything (except sometimes when Felix feels up to it). The tournaments we had were pretty good at the start, but since I did it through a school group we couldn't technically charge entry. The whole no prize things makes people sad. I think we still had a few with a cash prize. I don't remmeber.
Anyway the problem is the difference in skill. People like Ryan (jra) and Boba and Adam (if he's still there) can beat the snot out of newer people without even trying, and so, without meaning to, they scare the new guys away which leads to just the people that are relatively good playing together. They don't want to play for nothing hence not a lot of smash fests. There's also the fact that there are only like 6 or 7 of these relatively good people in Lubbock. Otherwise tournaments that can have cash prizes, like the ones Jason from Jasco is running, would take off.
I guess it all boils down to just not having enough people.
If anyone wants, I'll host a Street Fighter 4 tournament. You can download it for free on the internet because it was ported to PC. If there's enough interest, I'll host a tourney since Lubbock hasn't had one yet =D. I may start competing in major tournaments again, but I'm not fully committed. I'm going to gauge my interest in competing for Tekken 6 at EVO world. I watched EVO live this year, and I forgot how much fun it is!
Who all is still in Lubbock anyways? Does Felix even look at these boards anymore?

Well, at least we "had" a scene. Still remember the 1st real smash tournament in Fall 07, with 44 people. God, you could smell the B.O. anywhere in the room.

lmao, dang that does suck, i can imagine tho, iv had my fair share of those experiences at some tournys i have gone too. its sick

Smash Journeyman
We were definitely not prepared for that one. The weird thing is we never had that many again. It seemed like the tournament went well. Maybe it was the scaring people off thing I mentioned earlier. Andrew and his marth were a force to be reconned with...........unless you called how he was going to die at the beginning of the match.

Oh yeah, Mr. Phantom Tipper on "Marth's Story"
You're a horrible partner, just ask Austin or anyone!
Dude, remember when you had Serg on your team, and he was complaining about you hitting him the whole **** time when friendly fire was OFF?

Actually its probably much less now that I don't have to run tournaments any more. That tends to bring out people's jerkiness.
Also when you don't know how to avoid Pika's down smash to up b apparant combo that teams does wreck. Besides that was when I played snake the borefest.
Andrew you know that phantom tip was all skill baby. lol
