Hey guys, little announcement for everyone:

I may be hosting a tournament soon, and I'd like it if my friends here on SmashBoards would be in it. I'm still deciding when I should do it, and what the rules will be. But it will require a password to get in, so I'll be posting that for you guys when/if I decide to do it. Besides, I know most of my friends on SmashBoards would beat me, but I need the practice. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Is it too late to join?

Is it too late to join?

Nope. Hasn't even started yet. I dunno if you saw my other message, saying it would be either tomorrow or Saturday. Speaking of which...

Turns out I'll have to host it on Saturday. So, all that I've confirmed thus far is Saturday from 7pm to 8:30pm EST time, and it's going to be points based. Custom characters will probably not be available.

The only two things I still need to do is come up with the password for it, and figure out if items will be allowed (the update on items will come in a few days, password on day of tournament, probably an hour or less before it begins). I understand a large part of the competitive community hates items, but I don't mind certain items. Basically, I'll decide whether or not they'll be on, and if they are, certain OP/useless/irritating items will be turned off.

 

[ROBnWatch]

OK, went back to play Brawl for a bit today (only place I can still play ICies since I don't have Melee and they're not confirmed for Smash 4 DLC). Anyways, turns out that Pollyanna, or, in Brawl, "Mother 2 (Melee)" plays the entire song before looping, yet in Smash 4, it doesn't. What the heck, Nintendo?!?!?!

 

[Yaya Haider]

So does anyone know if they can invite me in the Ness Skypechat?

 

[Noa.]

I think it might be inactive actually.

 

[Yaya Haider]

Hm okay that sucks.

 

[Deleted member]

I haven't posted here in a while.
What's new my fellow Ness mains? :3

 

[ROBnWatch]

Not much. I'm hosting a tournament on Saturday, that's about it. How far are you in EarthBound?

 

[ROBnWatch]

Tournament update:

Only item that will be on is the Smash Ball, but it will be on medium or low for how often it pops up. Also, forgot to mention, but it is 3 stock.

 

[MtnDewFerret]

Why no mr Saturn?

 

[ROBnWatch]

Because the competitive community (which I'm sure most of my tournament's participants are a part of) hates items. I'm going to experiment with my first few tournaments though, so maybe next tournament there will be more items on. But I don't know for sure.

Also, I screwed up on my EarthBound drawing, meaning I'm gonna have to restart. And due to school starting soon, it may be a while. I'll hopefully have it done soon, but looking at what I have, I may need to re-think it completely. The latest I'll have it done will probably be near Thanksgiving (and I'm talking that will be if I've got no time to do it whatsoever). Earliest, I'd say within the month of September. Sorry again guys.

 

[Screk]

I love you all

Sorry I can't make it to this tourney because I'm going to a waterpark with the fam. Maybe next time.

Nobodys posted in this thread for a whole two days?
Well I guess I will start then. I'm heading to Nebulous on the 6th and every week after that for their tourneys. Its like a 10 minute walk away from my house. ^_^

Its also Rayman's 20th anniversary if you guys care about that...

 

[ROBnWatch]

Meh, if he's in, he's in. If he's out, he's out. But happy birthday to him anyways.

So, I've been grinding in the Stonehendge Base for that Sword of Kings. After beating a Super Starman and an Atomic Power Bot, I get the message "The enemy left a present! Inside the present, there was a S..."

Game crashed. Went back to check my inventory, nothing new that started with the letter S.

Naw, I'm only kidding. The game didn't crash, but I didn't get a Sword of Kings. Instead I got a Super Bomb.

Hooray. I'm glad you're able to make it consistently to tournaments. Once you start playing regularly at tournaments you'll improve significantly.

Also nebs has really good people there so I will definitely be put to the test.

 

[ROBnWatch]

At long last, after gaining a bit under 20 levels in that daggum cave, I finally found myself a Sword of Kings!!!

Ahaha! Congrates! I got it on my first playthough believe it or not.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Quiet man. I worked hard for that flipping thing. I spent half an hour going back and forth on the bridge near the broken harmonica, went back since Ness got homesick, spent another 10 minutes on the bridge, then went all the way to the people tube room, and kept going in and out of that room for another 10-20 minutes in hopes that I could lure any of those pesky Starman Supers near the door, beat them, and get the sword.

Ya, I had a lot of free time today. Thank goodNESS school hasn't started yet...

But thanks.

After I beat Magicant, and before I go after Giygas, I'm going to go back to that maze before Lumine Hall and take more time to get Jeff's contraption that he can fix to make into a Gaia Beam, his ultimate weapon, which also has only a 1/128% chance of dropping from an Uncontrollable Sphere...

 

[AirshBornely]

Hey, I didn't say it was easy for me. Took me almost an hour or so to get it and you're welcome. It's nowhere near as bad as trying to get Flame Throwers from the BB gang members in Beginnings, but still difficult.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Ya, even though I haven't gotten that far, I'm not gonna try for it if it's THAT bad.

 

[AirshBornely]

I was exaggerating a bit there bro. Sorry. Though, not really worth striving for like The Sword of Kings since it's not an equippable weapon, but it still cool if you can get some. I think I was able to get 4 of them one time.

 

[ROBnWatch]

If it's not an equip able item, what does it do? Is it something like the Heavy Bazooka, where you can't equip it but it comes in handy?

 

[PSIBoy]

Hey, I didn't say it was easy for me. Took me almost an hour or so to get it and you're welcome. It's nowhere near as bad as trying to get Flame Throwers from the BB gang members in Beginnings, but still difficult.

Really? I managed to get two on my playthrough. Granted, I fought like twenty five total as I was grinding.

Funny story, I didn't think that Flamethrowers could break like Loid's other non-equip weapons, so I spammed my first one. Until it broke. So I beat up more of the BB Gang to get my second, which I barely used anyway. Go figure.

If it's not an equip able item, what does it do? Is it something like the Heavy Bazooka, where you can't equip it but it comes in handy?

Basically yeah, along with the Laser Beam and Plasma Beam, and you can buy both... I forget where. Was it Reindeer?. Anyway, laser is basically PK Beam Alpha and Plasma PK Beam Beta, so they're pretty useful, but they break. The Flamethrower is basically PK Fire Beta since it can attack all enemies, but it still breaks. Wah.

Quiet man. I worked hard for that flipping thing. I spent half an hour going back and forth on the bridge near the broken harmonica, went back since Ness got homesick, spent another 10 minutes on the bridge, then went all the way to the people tube room, and kept going in and out of that room for another 10-20 minutes in hopes that I could lure any of those pesky Starman Supers near the door, beat them, and get the sword.

Frankly, I don't think I would've had the patience to do even search for more than 30 minutes,since it's only marginally useful at that point in the game. I admire your persistence.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Look, I wanted to get it at least once in however many playthroughs I'm gonna go through. I decided it would be my second time through. But ya, after all that, all I got was an offense boost of 30. At least I got the daggum thing.

 

[Noa.]

It seems to strange and poorly designed to offer a unique equippable item as a very rare item drop. The fact that poo can only equip that one is also salt in the wound.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Eh, it is what it is I guess.

 

[DoctorRotom]

Off topic guys, but if anybody is going to Paragon, I'll be the guy in the bright, red Ness shirt with the steampunk sleeve. It would be awesome to meet some of you!

 

[Pazx]

@ Noa. is beating ryo wtf tune in

http://www.twitch.tv/MVG_League

lets ****in go noa!

 

[Noa.]

Thanks. I hope I do well in grand finals!

 

[Lochy]

I got a tourney today at 2pm in NYC, Nebulous Prime to be exact. Gonna face my friend in friendlies and we had a bet that If i beat him in a bo3 I get some of his earthbound merchandise, but if I lose I have to take off my shirt for an hour in the place (My friend Matthew told me its freezing down there!!) But I feel confident in my ability so wish me luck

P.S I will later post my results in the tournament results thread

 

[ROBnWatch]

Good luck. If/when you beat him, post your EarthBound winnings on this thread please.

 

[Lochy]

Good luck. If/when you beat him, post your EarthBound winnings on this thread please.

I will. Also he said he's going dressed as Ness so him losing will be even more embarrassing.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Lol. By the way, I found some new models for Ness and co. when I get back to my EarthBound drawing. Ness won't look exactly like this when I draw him (I'm going to change something and add something), but here's a sneak preview for you guys:

For Jeff, expect something like his trophy in SSB4. For Paula, something more or less like this (but happy, not cautious, and facing towards the viewer):

And Poo will look mostly like this, but with his sword, and more happy:

The rest of the drawing will be kept secret. I'm still trying to get it all down in my head (I want to add more than I think I'll be able to fit on the paper), but it's coming together really good now. The latest date I'll be done, like I said, is near Thanksgiving. But at this point, I think I can get it done by mid-October, assuming I don't get caught up with homework.

Again, those are just ideas. I mainly have them just so I can get an idea of how the character would look in the real world. What the character is actually doing may change some. The colors for Paula and Poo will also be brighter, somewhat like Ness.

 

[Noa.]

I don't think poo ever smiles in the game.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Well everyone else will look happy except for the bad guys. I figured it's only right that Poo would look happy as well.
