[Sneak8288]

venue isn't really a problem since i said we could use my apt. ii can move things around and have alot of space to hold a local

 

[Dark Hart]

alright got the #s I was looking for

gonna make some calls tomorrow

pricing seems fair from what I'm getting

 

[Dr Peepee]

YEEEEEEE

so **** that everyone is hosting <333

Edit: see if some of those 2D dudes would enter a Melee thing, Slasher. You never know haha

 

[NearZzz]

me moo john and ryan played friday and saturday. **** was fun.

I never get invited to this **** D;

I highly doubt that. I was at stinger's tourney with some AH3 players and it was kinda embarrassing seeing them laugh at people wanting $2 mm's and what not. Granted melee is a different animal than brawl, I can't really imagine many if any getting into melee. I suppose it would hurt to try though...

 

[Moophobia]

Sneak told me about trying to get one of his fighting game buddies to play melee and he had trouble even utilting I highly doubt they'd want to play

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

Skyrim ads on Smashboards?

yesssssssssssssssssss

 

[Dark Hart]

yea so the ***** was like... "yea, we don't rent out to events like that"

****ING **** stingers you need to start holding melee and brawl at the same time...

EDIT: Also I hate my life cause this **** didn't work.... SO CLOSE... SUCH A GOOD DEAL... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[vZakat]

Couldn't we just alternate what's hosted at state. So like one week melee, the next week brawl. Than we'd have bi-weeklies for both.

That would be a lot of hosting though...

 

[Dr Peepee]

We've always been pretty okay with hosting both before. I'm not sure why it would be any different now, especially since Stongers is sorta part of both communities.

It would be nice to have a Melee-only series run though, I think. Something more serious.

 

[Dark Hart]

an idea in that regard: maybe do like bi weekly tourney's alternation brawl/melee???

 

[lord karn]

I want tournaments closer than charlotte. T__T

 

[0Room]

Sorry can't help you there Karn xD

I already suggested that.

[Dark Hart]

Then obviously it isn't a bad idea if we both came up with it separately lol

 

[Bl@ckChris]

i mean we'll have sneaks tournaments once they get started.

i'd say NCSU's should be alternating biweeklies, and the "biweeks" that they host brawl, sneak holds a melee tournament.

or something like that. that way melee tournaments have biweeklies, NCSU only has to host once every two weeks, and i figure brawl will figure out something else as well when NCSU has its melee days.

 

[NearZzz]

yay people doing ****

yay i dont have to do **** besides be a ******

 

[Bl@ckChris]

that reminds me:

is anybody east of greensboro planning on going to TGM3?

cuz if not, i really will try to get a car together for a GA tournament next week.

 

[stingers]

i can host melee tourneys I guess @.@

 

[Plairnkk]

i want to play with anyone any day they want to play. im in frederick, u can come to me or i can go out that way, idc. i get off work at 4 each day

 

[Dark Hart]

Each day?

...

How many days?

Lol

 

[Plairnkk]

as many days as i need to ****

 

[Moophobia]

Surprised you're posting here lol

 

[Plairnkk]

oh **** i posted in the wrong thread initially


im surprised im posting here too

 

[vZakat]

lol I spent like 10 minutes trying to find out where frederick nc was. It doesn't exist. >_<

 

[Dr Peepee]

Melee go post in TGM3 thread! OOS is looking we need to show up!

 

[Sushi-Man]

Hey PP how do you get out of sheik's d-throw chaingrab on FD (or any other stage) on marth? I tried holding the control stick away from sheik but it doesn't seem to work.

Okay this is kind of a rock and a hard place situation from my understanding of it. If you DI away then Sheik gets a regrab forever. DI behind Sheik and she can tippered upsmash even at low percents and potentially combo off of it.

I READ THOUGH that if you DI verrrrry slightly in front of Sheik and then away that all she can do is Ftilt and maybe Fair after that(but not always Fair even especially if you SDI the ftilt away).

You'll have to mess around with it some to get the right angle and % ideas down though I think. I don't get to play the matchup enough to know those sadly.

 

[Sushi-Man]

Alright thanks man. I'll try it out

 

[Dark Hart]

The chain throw shouldn't even work after like 30% (rough estimate, dunno the real %)

 

[Sneak8288]

You sure about that? I think it depends on the DI. Its still pretty stupid either way. Either way you get ***** no matter how you DI lol

 

[Dr Peepee]

Sneak if you're talkin to me then yeah I am because KK posted it. That guy's knowledge is super best plus he'd know since he actually mains Sheik.

 

[Sneak8288]

Nah I was referring to dark Hart. I thought the gayness went into higher percents.

 

[DJRome]

there is a slight di in front (and slightly upward) of shiek where if you take the ftilt, you can fair out if they try to fair followup. any di behind is usmash into combo and forward cgs until around 60-70 guaranteed

marth shouldn't be getting grabbed tho

Lots of this. Up and out can get you either a clean Fair or at least a trade. If they react fast it's still hard but it's honestly the best option unless you don't think they'll be ready to react to DI slightly behind.

I agree with DJ though (obviously). The key to not losing to Sheik is keeping her at the end of your sword and going for almost only guaranteed grabs (hitstun -> grab, punishes, hard reads). Sheik's moveset chewing up Marth once he's launched (and everything launches lol) makes Fsmash super risky. The match up definitely seems to even out (more) at higher levels, mainly because spacing/punishes are much more significant.

 

[bossa nova ♪]

marth's a guy????????????????????????????????????????????


i thought it was short for martha

 

[Dark Hart]

Maybe I just know how to DI it?

=\

Who knows

 

[lord karn]

I think at low percents, up until like 30 the slight DI only leads to ftilt, which doesn't really lead to anything unless they DI. After that the sheik can just go straight to fair when you slight DI (or nair perhaps). Any DI behind will go to tipper usmash and will kill marth on most levels at 70%. Don't do that. If you DI in front of her it chaingrabs, and at around 60% it starts leading to dash attack, which then leads into all sorts of things.

While this will sound ridiculous but getting tipper Usmashed at midrange percents is a much better option than getting torn up by Ftilts/Fairs. If they pop you up, with good DI you'll be relatively safe, and with no DI you'll still be able to get out of hitstun before they can possibly get to you again and you'll be able to counter/airdodge/Dair.

Taking a hit and reacting better/faster than they expect a lot of the time is a better mixup than doing predictable DI/jumps out of overused combos. When I get Dthrown by Sheik, unless I'm at kill percents, I'm much more worried about doing what they expect me to get out of and them following up well then I am about whatever immediate damage after the throw.

 

[lord karn]

Yeah, I just meant don't do it after 70%. Although Sheik can't get much except at very low percents of a ftilt vs. marth.
