I played Hive on day 2 of Genesis and she nearly beat me. If you read this Hive, GG.

Also, I used Samus in a low tier tournament in San Diego the week before and failed horribly. Or Edrees' Yoshi is a beast. Or both, which is likely the case.

Other people need you!

DarkWarCloud has opened up the Training Grounds. What this is is a place for new players to learn who plays what characters all in a simple thread so that they can contact said person to "teach" them the basics. As of right now, we only have a handful of "teachers" for a few characters and we need more! This is where you come in. Anyone who is skilled with your characters (any character) and has the free time to teach someone how to either: Teach the basics of the game in general and/or teach specific character(s), go in the thread and either post or PM DarkWarCloud with your information (Format is in the thread) where you may possibly be contacted by someone who wants to learn. The future of smash lies in your hands.

On the other hand, if you wish to learn, go to the thread also!

Hey all, is anyone here planning to attend the No Maps! tourney in Princeton on August 8th? I am only a short ride away and have cleared my schedule, so I will be attending. I know for sure who i'll be playing with in low tiers, and it would be cool to see some other Samus's as well.

lol you guys talk as if we all forgot how to play samus or can't play her anymore.

it's summer, too. not everyone is indoors playing brawl. also, genesis hype for melee got me playing a lot of that recently so that can add to it as well.

it's weird because now that i see you guys posting again, it makes me realize a lot of the OGs have left, and not a lot of newcomers are proving themselves here..

Lol

Most ones from your time n00b are faar gone. TAC MAY come back though, I hope, pretty sure he still lurkss.

anyways, sadly, I'm an old timer here, I've lasted pretty long, long enough to only see 5-6 other guys here a lot. the new guys need to stay with her and still post here or they won't count. it's how it iss

n00b's sig still makes me lol as much as it did the first time I saw it.

<3 you guys


And for the record, I still somewhat keep in contact with TAC. I saw him in a livestream for HERB yesterday, and he sends me ossimsauce replays every now and then. As for the new people, it doesn't help that people discourage them from using Smaus :ohwell:

Good news is that it can only get better from here, right? :D

Tyler was here. He will also be referring to himself in the third person from now on.

He is also busy playing Oblivion, crying over his GF, and swimming.

*sniff* oh Azzy...

Anyway, Windtitan says hi and also asks why the XatChat has been very inactive as of late.

Xyro? Flattering me?

...

Sound the alarms.

Anyway, I've been feeling better, as of late. My friend Matt will be staying with me for two weeks starting tomorrow, and he plays Smash competitively as well, so you can expect to see a lot of offline Samus VS. Marth videos up soon. I'll also try and get more active on the Samus social chatroom.

There was no point in making a thread for this, so here, people.

How to be a Samus Main

1. Samus is the only character worthy of playing.

2. When you lose to someone, it's because you're playing a low-tier character. Be sure to tell that person this so next time, they'll shut up instead of brag. Who brags about beating a low-tier anyway?

3. You were sent on a mission by the Galactic Federation. Be sure to pick up your prize money when you return.

4. If you win, it's because your opponent either doesn't know the match-up against Samus, or he or she sucks. Brag to all your friends about how you beat your opponent with a low-tier. You get bonus points if it was a top- or high-tier.

5. Meta Knight is gay, and everyone who plays him is gay. Every Samus main needs to infiltrate SWF and AiB to drive out Meta Knight.

6. Everytime someone says "Always the Samus mains," tell that person, "Don't you mean, 'Always the Pit mains'?"

7. In a Samus ditto, it does matter who wins, because in every Samus ditto, you are the real Samus, and the other Samus' are Dark Samus or SA-X. The weight of the galaxy is on your bulky shoulders, so be sure to beat them!

8. Listen to what Tudor says, watch what Xyro77 does, and go into rage mode like Rohins.

9. The more you realize Samus is bad***, the more bad*** you'll realize Samus is.

10. Wi-Fi proves nothing.

11. Tell your opponent who you've beaten prior to brawling with him or her, that way, your opponent will become fearful of you.

12. Learn the Chozo language.

13. Samus is the best. Everyone else sucks.

14. Use your X-Ray Visor to see what number 13 says.

15. The color of your powered armorsuit doesn't matter. Samus isn't picky about the color of her armor, just as long it adds more defense and gives her suit unique abilities.

16. Samus is top-tier. People just don't realize it yet.

17. Every Samus main needs to write in their Log Book on why they main Samus. If you dream about Samus, you're a lucky guy. Tell us about your dream.

18. Samus Aran is the most beautiful and important girl in your life.

19. Running off and z-airing and using Homing Missiles isn't camping. It's spacing.

20. Work for yourself and help no other Samus main, unless it's to drive out Meta Knight.

-when i lose with samus, it is my fault and not hers. samus is too good. i am not worthy

maybe i'll come by here and post something daily. something useful and relevant, plus something about the samus community. seriously, i've never paid attention to you guys

-cherry... bwahahaha, not sure why, but calling yourself cherry is awesome in a funny way. now we just need a bloodberry and a lime. that would probably lead me to relapse back into watching anime

In that ruined tower, atop a mountain.
Cherry's name and the fact he mains Samus makes me think of a Cherry Bomb. He should get a Morph Ball upgrade to get Cherry Bombs with the power of Bob-ombs. That would be awesome to see.

Wolf Player: "Dude, your morph bombs su--" *BOOM*

Announcer: "GAME!"

I'm pretty sure samus boards has one of the highest pro-ban communities lol :p
Well, Samus has the tools to deal with Meta Knight. Her f-tilt has some pretty long reach. It's good at swatting him away when he moves to approach. Her bombs also stop the tornado and other moves of his dead in their tracks. It's just that no one's found a way to use them in tandem effectively enough to stave him off decently, and probably won't because everyone's using him instead of considering building up lower-tier characters in hopes of beating him.

That's why I'm pro-ban. We need more characters being played besides Meta Knight and his "counters." If you take him out of the equation, the tier list would be radically altered. Everyone's using characters that are decent against Meta Knight, not characters that are decent against characters that are decent against Meta Knight. (Tongue twister, durr-hurr.) When people stop picking characters based on their ability to fight Meta Knight, the metagame will move forward.

while i agree with the bottom half of your post i disagree with the top.

BOMBS are worthless(maybe one day we can find something promising)
F-tilts on a metas shield=instant punishment.

but for the record, the bottom half of your post has been brought up in the meta ban discussion ALOT. WE NEED VARIETY!
