Hey -- new to Pittsburgh's melee scene -- you guys want to smash Tuesday or Wed night?

Most smashing occurs on Friday, but pretty much everything is makeshift over the summer with the Duquesne Nitespot, our usual location, closed.

So really this post didn't help you at all.

Go me.

Incorrect.

Marth dittos are won by sidesmashing until the tippers happen.

YOU READY NICK!?

Awesome. :)

I used to smash at Georgetown Uni in Washington DC. I was pretty good in terms of Melee there. I'm kicking myself that I never went to any of Chudat's Biweeklies when I had the chance!

Are you guys mostly uni students?

Took me...I don't know far to long to realize uni=university. Yes for the most part we are of or around that age. A few of us just recently graduated, while others attend or plan to attend college.

Whereabouts do you live in the Pittsburgh area? Are you attending a school around here?
And A-loan spoke da truff, usually we play at Duquesne University every Friday when school is in session. But for the summer smash is pretty random.

yeah, i was joking to swag about asking for housing. i lol'd at his answer though.

NC'S CAR IS FULL. 3 BRAWLERS. 2 MELEE. ALL BLACK. Greensboro NC goin in on this tourney.

And we would all be very thankful for a place to rest in the late night hours of friday night before this AWESOME tourney. While I understand hotels are nearby, I would like both the experience of getting to know/play you guys more by being housed and the money saved after driving for 7+ hours to the area.

i'd really like to have this figured out sooner rather than later...

And what did she say about me?


EDIT: I just thought of a vastly superior means of wording the above joke but it is now too late to edit it in without the completely trivializing "Last edited" message at the bottom of my post.

This was a failure.

-Why is there SpA on Lucario when it is an all physical set?
-3 Fighting moves, 2 on Special Attackers. Redundancy sucks.
-Alakazam should be something else, like a Dragon type uhh SpecsMence would be good. You want to capitalize on the fact that your special wall lol's at most pokemon running Ice Beam so he has more opportunities to drop spikes. Originally I was going to say drop Gengar, but he is your spin blocker on a team running 2 sets of spikes damage. This comment really only applies if you run a 2 tank setup.
-Focus Sash on that Lucario doesn't seem to make sense since his coverage is pretty bad. Run Life Orb instead.
-Gengar needs HP Fire, Hypnosis should be cut. You have no Fire coverage. There is no answer for Skarmory if you are playing 4th Gen that is a huge problem. Or run Infernape over Alakazam...that could work but then again you have no Physical wall...
-That Swampert is straight up bad...words can't ever describe.
-Tentacruel's EVs are ****ed. Should be 252hp/120Def/136SpD . Might want to consider HP Electric for the coverage.
-Lucario's nature should be Adamant.
-Azelf's EVs are **** too. 4Hp/252SpA/252Spe for the lead, you can't run the risk of him being slower than Sneasel leads. He should also probably run Fire Blast over Psychic. Unless of course you address that issue elsewhere, because Psychic covers more leads in terms of neutral effectiveness and gets STAB.

Adding SpecsMence over Alakazam helps this team alot since it gives it a more defined strategy, to break ****. Tentacruel seems out of place too, he's playing a support role on a team that seems to have a strategy of going all aggro.

It's important to have a strategy in mind when making a team, you can't just put 6 pokemon together and hope it works out. You need to ask yourself how you want the team to play. With 2 substitutions this team could be a standard 2 tank setup or an aggro setup. I like going towards the aggro setup, so I suggest adding SpecsMence for Alakazam, and probably CB Metagross for Tentacruel.
