IMO it's sort of robbing yourself if you won't play a game that you love just because you are afraid you won't have fun. Smash never has to be serious, and is only as serious as one makes it out to be

AARON!

First one to a thousand hugs is the winner.

Children and the elderly don't count.

Unless it's Leslie Nielsen.

We all like to crack open a cold one now and then.

Emo poem! :bee: :298:



A touch of red in a sea of green
A wall of trees form a darkened screen
A light above fills the sky with sheen
And still it remains a still scene

But alone I lay at our supposed tryst
Biting pains for biting lips unkissed
But it is once again I am forced to desist
B*stardized, depressed and pissed

Again I waited yet you are unseen
Again I'm alone, silently demeaned
Again there's a feeling just too obscene
And so it is time to make my scene

Belated it is, and I may never be missed
But be that as it may, I assure you of this
Beneath the cold night sky I'll be found in the midst
Bathing the ground with the blood of my wrist

OOOOOhhh sh*t last line was a shocker​

Think I'll be out a lil bit tomorrow. I admit it was the attraction to watching kirby dittos. Spent an hour over break trying to get Snorlax stuck in a black hole >.<

This post is to assure all of you that, even when I lack the grace or the confidence to express it, I hold for you nothing less than profound feelings of love and brotherly compassion.

Conversations rage within me
Threaten to consume completely
Leaving naught but thoughts forgotten.
A barren field of grief.

Death,
The master of this place,
Leaves not a single soul to grace
And converse, or something like it,
So I return
To insides quiet.

And yet,
Somethings springs beneath,
Urges me to look for speech.
But in this place
It feels so pointless,
No one's here to hear my voices.
Stop.
Then start.
I cannot dwell,
Lest the void eat me as well.
For this body's all that's left,
Empty, soulless, with regret.
I tumble from this world of sleep,
to another
Cold and bleak.

I awake.
Earth tumbles forward,
Ripe and full of shameless blowhards.
But who am I to judge and question?
Farther I fall into depression.

What is it that makes me special?
Why do I deserve a medal?
From my window, dull and pallor,
A city forged of wealth and squalor.
I cannot help but feel the same,
Like I have something yet to gain.

I can't for the life of me
Find this thing which I must be.
I dig deeper,
Pace increasing,
Hoping still to find some meaning.
Maybe I can find what's me.
I search inside.
A mystery.

Glimpse.
A whiff.
A tiny vision.
She that may release this prison.
Travels by but for a moment,
Leaves my body cold and dormant.
But in that instant,
A seed is planted.
My heart a new hope has been granted.

I return to death's domain
Dormant as it may have been,
I bring this time my little spark,
And bury it in places dark.
In it holds my very future
Will I grow or fall in stupor?

Tears
Not of salt, but liquor,
Bathe my pain and make me sicker,
Nurse the soul of that I planted,
Hoping, still, my wish be granted.
Happiness is all I seek,
But in terms of love,
I'm weak.

I awake...

Now it's I who stumbles forward
Just like those I've ranked and sorted.
Once again I'm empty, naked,
My seed left in dreamy places.
I do my work,
Remain unheard,
Thinking I must be absurd.
I'm a walking contradiction,
My life's a tiny piece of fiction.
But when hope is fleeing quickly,
A glipse,
Again,
I must act swiftly.

Desires urge me to speak loud,
But as I yell
No words come out.
Time's not gone!
There's still a chance!
Movement may still break this trance.
C'mon feet,
Don't fail me now!
Help me make a gracious bow!
But yet again,
I'm still here frozen,
Watching my heart crumble,
Broken.
I pray for once,
"Let me be taken!"
Yet I remain.
Dead.
Forsaken.
I stand here among the din,
Sobbing as she leaves again.

In my dream world I traverse,
Hoping to find more than verse.
I find the seed
Hungry,
Crying,
Like my very soul that's dying.
Wishing it could gain some life
And on wings of hope take flight.
But all I have to feed it's stomach
Is tears of steel
A nasty tonic.
For to be what I've become
One must be of metal bronzed.

Is there a steelsmith of this world
Who can help me drop me shield?
Be reborn a human being,
Just one moment of life fleeting.
Happiness.
Again the thought,
Brings to my lips a curious draught.
One that I don't understand,
But wish to know and be a friend.

What is it that leaves me haunted?
Keeping me alone,
Unwanted.
Somewhere in this block of granite
Lies a human
Scared and frantic,
Wishing to be less pathetic,
Say, "F**k this s**t!"
And not regret it.

He looks like me
A spitting image
Of this warn and weary visage.
Both our tongues can speak and promise
Yet his steel's new
And mine is tarnished.
Twin in looks but not in spirit
Maybe he can help me win it.
Win the one my heart desires
Lead me back,
For once inspired.

That's it!
Enough!
I hoarsely whisper,
Time enough I've spent in nightmare.
I can't repress a wince while speaking,
But finally,
My mind is lifting.
Here I vow to break him open
Find that which remains unspoken.

Though my seed I cannot nourish,
I know some whom that I cherish,
Mayhap they can comfort me,
Help me find what I must be,
Break this seed,
And find within it,
That which sheds my heart of granite.
Help the unknown twins become
Metamorphosis as one.

With a heart unsteady still
Back I go through worlds until
My friends help cure this heart so blighted.
Me and myself will be united.
Shaky as a newborn foal,
Hopefully I'll pay the toll,
Open up a door steel-guarded,
Reach the place where I once started.
Find myself a man again.

I awake.

A glimpse.

And then.





Everything's unstructured and awkward, but it's a perfect mess.

"And Dr. Dre said... nothing you idiots!
Dr. Dre's dead!"

:reverse:

Taki do you use doubleshines ever or are they impractical/unreliable?
I notice you sometimes nair shine, mostly jab, and often dash dance grab after an aerial to shine...

i was wondering whether I should incorporate them into my game or not


Its a big question, cause I was asking about double vs. single lasers months ago and now double lazers are programmed into my muscle memory and I can't single laser well with falco or fox.

single shffl laser for mobility/speed.

Doubleshines ARE practical. because of shield grabbing, jab/wavedash is too slow. Plus you can double jump after a second shine to safety. Doubleshines if you want to be aggressive and land a hit on a predicted shield grab, full hop(not short) if you wanna be defensive and go in the air, just be careful not to get followed in the air.

Shinegrabs also work best, but you'd have to pretty much predict 100% where you are gonna land and that the grab will hit.

If your first shine hits (i.e they drop their shield too early), the grab will miss even if you do it super fast, right?

I plan on getting the timing down for double or triple shines then. If the opponent predicts the double or triple shine... should I keep shining away? (I understand I could also shine->grab) but is it fast enough for shield pressure? (compared to nair-shine)



As far as double lazers... I only really shoot lazers when I am 110% sure I will not be punished for it like when I want to force an approach. And I have a tendency to hit with both shots probably 60% of the time. I am sure there are times when singles would allow for a better follow up, which is something I will work on later. I still got a lot of fox meta game to take care of.
