What? I'm running that thing all night man lol

It's like a Smashfest+1. 1pm-literally as late as people wanna stay, hell, I can start it whenever I want really


Also, bring Wiis/Brawl--like I said, I've only got one... well, I have a second Wii that won't read discs anymore, if anyone wants to help me with that

 

[Famous]

it would be awesome to be able to get there after work but I would need a ride....Im off Sunday so my ride wouldn't neccesarily have to drive back to Hampton in the same day

 

[SlashTalon]

I'll MM your falco with ic's or marth if you want

Just those two? lame

 

[Genosync]

Prove you can beat the odds for the money, go Ike

 

[Pitzer]

Eh... Ike vs falco No. Pit vs Falco maybe... Falcon vs falco.. B- Hell yeah

 

[SlashTalon]

:D
ICs vs ICs!!

If we get a good crowd CREW BATTLE!!!!!!!

 

[MaSHi]

crew batts MM!!! =P lolx.

 

[Genosync]

Falco is one of the three reasons I quit Ike. Such a freaking pain in the *** matchup; I don't know how some people say it's 70/30, ****'s more like 75/25 80/20 if the Falco knows exactly how to shut Ike down.

I think that's mainly cuz Ike is lookin to make friends, while Falco is too busy being a **** to care

How's Ike vs Snake or Marth?

 

[_Kadaj_]

Falco v Ike is 70:30 can even be 65:35 at best, Ike just needs to avoid falco until he's out of cg percents

 

[Famous]

Did you call me 2 days ago? o.O

 

[Genosync]

CG is not even really that big of a concern--it's actually pretty hard for falco to spike an ike main and the Ike not be able to recover, unless it's literally at the end of CG percents (ike can still aether back to stage and not need ledge until 55% or so).

Snake is 55/45 Snake, Marth is 65/35 Marth

Falco is just a "go home" kinda bad, it's the only one of the three matchups that just seemed pointless to me and complete and utter failure. Marth and MK being the other two, but it's always fun to play around with Marth and MK I just try to spike Shuttle Loop for the hell of it.

 

[_Kadaj_]

I don't think so Rob, must've been someone else

 

[SlashTalon]

You got a wii Kadaj? Comin back up here anytime soon?

 

[OMG H4X]

yo slash, im so down for a md/va trip soon, find a tourney!

 

[_Kadaj_]

Yeah I have a wii and stuff now, I'm not sure when I'll be able to come back just yet tho

I play Falco too now

 

[SlashTalon]

Yeah I have a wii and stuff now, I'm not sure when I'll be able to come back just yet tho

I play Falco too now

Wanna try wifi every once and awhile? I'll have to check what my wifi code is again...

Maybe we can do some Marth vs Falco, with your falco :D

 

[_Kadaj_]

My wifi is kinda bad atm, I need a better connection

 

[SlashTalon]

Moved from Virginia Johns thread:

Lol, had a feeling this would happen...

Looks like I definately wont be coming now...Slash isnt going to drive down here, which is understandable...

Just so its obvious to everyone and I'm not a bad guy (not that anyone is saying that) the drive from my house to Hiscore/Indian river is about 15 min (10-12miles) and the drive alone to Famous' is about 46min traffic free (aprox 36 miles). Then add the trip to the venue (another 45 min drive or more), then after wards the trip back to Famous' (Hampton-45min), then the trip alone back home (ANOTHER 45min).

The formula: (I'll use famous as an example)
45 to Famous
45 to Venue
45 to Famous
45 to Home
extra 30 or more for general traffic
--------------------------
210 min or 3.5 hours

as opposed to

15 to venue
15 home
extra 5 or more of traffic
----------
35 min round trip or 0.5 hours

the difference speaks for itself.

Now if I had to go to Newport news add another half hour to each branch of the trip.

I shouldn't need to but again so we're all on the same page the traffic at the hampton roads bridge tunnel has the potential to turn that 45 min trip into an 1hr 30 min or more at a dead stand still in the heat (which is what happened last saturday)

I am not directing this at any one person but anyone who plays in hampton/newport news needs to get together with others from hampton/newport news and discuss a way to carpool somehow. You need to streamline the process of rides and have backup plans ASAP.


Or if I DO come to grab you guys, this :

My car is dead atm, I need a ride. T-T But I woul Be happy to Have MM there ;D

Needs to change to this:

My car is dead atm, I need a ride. T-T But I woul Be happy to compensate you heavily. I'm talkin 20-40$ in your hand the moment I get in your car. ;D

 

[D0N]

Famous I told you I got you lol. If this is about the tourney anyway...

Nice avi Slash :bigthumbu

 

[Genosync]

Everything's still on for tomorrow, see you guys whenever

 

[Rubberbandman]

Im sorry guys, dont got a ride, my dad went off to work.

Slash if you can get me, auto $10, Im not MM anyway.

 

[Genosync]

hit up my cell. no one's here yet so i might be able to come get you if you give me address.

 

[Famous]

Yo! Im home! 20$ gas money to anyone who can give me a ried to the smashfest

 

[Rubberbandman]

Gdsht everyone. Fun times.

 

[Genosync]

Good times ppls. Good times.

Now to try to get sinus headache to go away and get some ****ing sleeeeep.

 

[Pitzer]

The day my car got fixed was after 7 pm LOL, eh I dont use Ike vs Snake for obv reason's, I use Link.

 

[SlashTalon]

as soon as I got home I went into a coma till 9am. ****ing awesome :D

Great games guys, looking forward to play all of you more often

Hey I gotta be in Newport News to pick my bro up at 1030pm tonight.
Ptzr, Famous, if we can find a place to play I'd be down to chill till around 10

 

[Genosync]

Can't really think of why you'd use Link over Ike.

Link's pros:
Projectiles

Link's early killshots:
Dair
Poorly DI'd FSmash

Ike's pros:
Jab
Offstage game
Perfect dash attack for snake's 'nade game

Ike's early killshots:
Spikes (dtilt, dair, aether spike does not apply here)
105 uair above stage
110 uncharged usmash
50 uncharged fsmash
85 bair closer to ledge, 100 bair most places
80 ftilt closer to ledge
125-130ish utilt
135 dair on stage vertical

Ike's recovery is better as well

idk man, I don't really play Link so maybe I can't see it the same way you do. That's just my take on it. Ike can just kill Snake so much easier and blowing up Snake's grenades on him really doesn't hurt Ike since you both take damage (well, as long as you're not being dumb and blowing them up on shield).

 

[Pitzer]

Link vs snake is 50-50 or 45-55 while ike vs snake is clearly not in ike's favor, Majority of Snake's Move can be di'd up so that recovery isn't a problem for Link. Link's heavy weight and his Dair Let him live to ridiculous Percents. Link's Zair is Amazing and Stops snake's Ftilt. Link Has good options vs Snake. And can also projectile camp, Unlike Ike. Link's Dair ***** Snake Badly as it is rarely used until kill percents. Smart Links Dont spam dair. Im more favorable using Link Rather then Ike in this match up.


Just cause you Have more kill moves doesn't make you better vs certain characters.

Part of it's being able to kill Snake, before he kills you.

I'm not saying that that's the whole reason for the matchup. It's just a different set of tools. One of the many reasons why Snake is such a problem for a lot of characters is the fact he's hard as hell to kill.

If you've got one legit kill move to land, you can focus all day long on avoiding that one kill move and racking up damage.

Both the characters probably perform equally as well against Snake--it's just, after knowing that matchup way too well with Ike, seeing you say "I dont use Ike vs Snake for obv reason's" kinda frustrated me. There's not really any obvious reason.

 

[OMG H4X]

daaaannnggg, when did we get so many pages into this lol. i need to get some more computer time, i feel like im behind lol

 

[SlashTalon]

[Genosync]

Gonna be a bit before I do another one at my place. Hopefully not too long, but we'll see.

 

[Genosync]

Hey whatever works!

Ike might suck but I'll defend him 'till the end of time >.>; at least in the decent matchups anyway.

 

[OMG H4X]
