Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone!

How's the weather where everyone is? It's very wet here right now. :ohwell: I would much rather have clear skies or overcast than rain at this time of year.
Nice to see you! Weather here is pretty nice. No snow though :( more rain (haha...English weather).

One thing in particular,

Don't autopilot on spam so much, I'm sure you noticed how many times I just stood there and blocked everything as you continued pressing buttons.

Also I hope you can see why I hate the mirror so much, Link gets gimped stupid early and it makes me rage.

GGs @The Soulless One. I don't get to face Link's as good as yours very often so thanks for the advice and experience. Despite the random lag spikes I had a lot of fun. Yeah Link is pretty good at gimping himself it's kinda stupid lol xD

I'm also free to play now Yoite Yoite if you're up for it.

Lemme know when exactly's a good time


It'd be nice if I could make it into the New Jersey PR someday.....but that ain't ever happening lol

Not when the NJ PR is filled with people like Nairo, Dabuz, Keitaro, Nakat, Angel Cortes, Tweek, etc, etc
I don't know if NY has separate PRs since the state is so huge, as well as the NYC/Long Island/Rest of NY divide, but like if our "county" has a PR i miiiiight be able to get on it.

Do you main MK in Smash 4 by any chance? Because my irl close friend / Fighting game mentor mains him too and does tournament with him. :p So I'm quite familiar with the matchup haha!
Yes, actually. I don't claim it to be anything special. My Meta Knight leans more towards the "pokey" playstyle in the neutral (I just poke people with dtilts and uairs, occasionally throwing out a dash attack or dash grab, only chaining when something actually hits). I acknowledge that the uair juggle into shuttle loop is what makes the character to a lot of people, and while I have the skill to pull it when the opportunity presents itself, I don't focus on it as much as others do. I like to have lots more tricks at my disposal.

My MK is only good against a character with no projectiles. You're probably aware of his lackluster approach game. I've gotten into the habit of using Drill Rush more than is good for me in those types of matchups, and it usually ends up being my downfall. :sadsheep:

While Meta Knight will always be my favorite character, Robin is the one I try to focus on more, as he's a lot less useless in most bad matchups (at least by my experience). :p

Cold, cloudy, kinda dreary, and my dog will not stop barking.
It's actually, no sarcasm, not that bad.

Wait, I don't remember saying that?

Cool fight nonetheless!
Pit always has a cool fight...he wants to protect Palutena from Bayonetta

You did Nail, I know everything that is said inside my brain...AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!

That's fair enough man. I mean my irl friend's mk basically doesn't believe in bad matchups except for some cases such as Yoshi. It's quite strange to see a mk player prefer Robin. It's the complete opposite in my friends case, he thinks Robin has more bad mu's than someone like MK who he believe should be considered top tier nowadays for his uair juggle combo.

To be fair though he's practiced his uair juggle on EVERY character in the roster so much now that he gets it most of the time. Plus even if you miss it it still builds up percentage REALLY fast lol.

Nah Nah thanks for accepting my friend request, hope we can have a few bouts sometime :)

Might still go for it.

Also, happy 1700 y'all.
Cool.

Over 1700 pages? Sheesh, that's a lot,

Who would win in a fight? Superman or Saitama?
Goku :p

In my experience the MU is doable, but there are a couple things that make it rather hard.
For one, Blade Beam clanks with all our projectiles except Thoron, and has pretty large size with decent speed.
The other annoying part is his mobility advantage and overall heavy damage. We can play defensively, but he also is good at defense and pressuring with Limit Break charge. It often comes down to skill and keeping an active guard up. Our best chance is to get him off-stage, especially if he has LB ready to go, so that we can force him to waste it on recovery.
Hm, Beam Blade did cross my mind. though I've notice that the hitbox doesn't entire match the animation. At least, the very edges of the move seem to not have a hitbox, so that could mean something. So, While they do clank, i'd imagine our Thunder would be slightly better given that it comes out and ends quick, am i right?

Though you are correct with the offstage part. He is literally like Little Mac 2.0 in that account.

That feeling when you lose a few matches (some stupidly) to the same person on FG, but then turn it around and beat them three times in return, even against their Fox.

And just one day until Christmas Eve!!

It is basically Christmas break now so I'm sure we'll have the time for a little while. Tomorrow I'll be busy for part of the day and then after that's Christmas and I assume that most people are gonna be doing other things then, but basically any other time I'm pretty much completely free. Lookin' forward to it.

:135:
For some reason hitboxes not matching the animation is a thing in this game. It's slowly been getting better though. At launch Meta Knight, and iirc, Shulk, had some pretty bad hitbox-animation issues, though those got fixed. Ike had some minor ones that got fixed I think. And the hitboxes on Mewtwo's aerials bar Nair were pretty bad until the recent patch (Mewtwo feels so much better to play as now). Some character's Ftilts/Fsmashes would whiff point-blank when they shouldn't have and some of those got fixed. There's still a few left, like Beam Blade, or supposedly Marcina, and then Falcon not actually having to hit you with his elbow in order to hit you with Fsmash.

Really though with non-LB Beam Blade you just wanna powershield and walk that ****, since it's slow and the startup/endlag on it's not great.

I'll be free after the 25th pretty much. Any evening time (utc +00:00) for me I'm free as I didn't get much work from uni this holiday and my job is back in Kent where I attend my uni so I don't really have much to do here.

Raz that sounds so much like you're advertising some porno you made instead of Smash matches lmao
Matsushi vs Raziek Raziek Loser's Finals? More like

Never let Raziek take Matsu to Kongo Jungle 'cos she can't keep her eye on the barrel

I'm glad I didn't miss these despite my lack of activity.
Also, did you guys know there was a 2nd Fire Emblem planned for the Wii? Because I sure didn't.

Sure sounded pretty different from the rest of the series.

Not sure if the above image counts as a spoiler but I beat chapter 19 in Fe7.
It took me a while to do it without any deaths but I finally did it.
I sadly didn't get the club card. (and I missed out on a guiding ring which means one of my mages may have to wait to promote)
But I did recruit Legualt! And he will basically be my replacement for Matthew for a while due to it being hard to level pu Matthew.
And something cool that happened when facing the boss was that when Hector attacked him, he got a crit that left the boss with 2 hp and then, with a 50 percent chance, Dart kills him and gets a level up.
So that was basically a free level up for Dart.
And now I am excited to move on to the further in the game.

I'm still confused regarding the legality of Pilotwings. Is it due to the random pop ins or due to the tilting screwing over certian characters (COUGH ROBIN COUGH). Just wanna get bodied on best stage to best music.

It's due to the walls and being able to camp them.

My roommate and I tend to play Falcon in a silly manner. Yet I've learned that the computer Falcons don't take any prisoners. In fact, my roommate and I have a little game we call the Falcon Challenge which is you against a team of 3 Green Computer Falcons with Team Attack off. We also do it in 2v6 which is dubbed the "Falcon Challenge x2"


We don't ever really win, in fact we have most of our fun watching us get bodied in the ways that we do. We treat the Green CPU Falcon differently now after he started wrecking our stuff way back in the days of Brawl.

It's not legal basically anywhere in the US. It's just that, since these Robin-only tourneys are more for fun, and we are all using the same character, we allow more stages. (There were also 5 stage bans, so you could easily ban all the jank out if you wanted to)

Pilot Wings is banned because every match CAN and SHOULD devolve into camping under the plane wings and forcing your opponent to approach when you have a lead. It leads to extremely degenerate, time-out focused gameplay. On the second transition (yellow plane), you can go onto the pontoons on the wings and about half the cast can't actually do anything to safely stop you from doing so, wasting at least ~50 seconds.

Different voices from Smash 4 Corrin trailer
Good. I didn't like many of the voices from his/her Smash 4 trailer.



CORRECTION! Saitama is the STRONGEST human!

Saitama didn't have problems with Boros. He was just bored.

Also how could you know that Superman could kill Boros with zero effort? Just from purely fan speculation and comparing the relative strength and fighting ability of them, Boros seems stronger than Doomsday by a wide margin.

He doesn't need to. Look at this.



That is the aftermath of ONE punch, a punch I might add that deflected a massive DBZ-esque energy beam with enough power to vaporize Earth completely.

And he STILL WASN'T USING HIS FULL POWER!
I know you're not arguing exactly what other certain people have been arguing, but it's only obligatory I link you to this.
