I'm curious.

Why division did you guys pick on Xenobalde X?

I pick PathFinder. The main reason is for the moment, I am kind of bad at battling Indigen and cause am curious to explore as much as Mira. Plus, I've also to be a part time Curator and Reclaim too. Just doing my part to help the human race survive.

Not sure if there's some thread meant for introductions hidden here somewhere but I guess I could say something here.

Anyway, I'm just a guy from Finland who enjoys playing Robin to put it shortly. I've been lurking here for quite a while, mostly reading Zareidriel's and Raziek's guides, so I finally decided to register. I'm fairly new to the Smash scene (been in only a few tournaments, nothing major) despite the fact that I really love the series. Lately I've been pretty motivated to get good so that might be a part of the reason why I registered here. The Finnish scene is pretty small but the competition is tough, especially for a Robin Main, so hopefully I can improve here in some way :]

By the by, was there a thread meant for analyzing matches or something like that here? It would be pretty cool if I could get some critique to some of my recent games.
Hey, your Finnish. I like Finland. It's a nice country.

I'm a permanent Prospector now that I'm BLADE Lv 10. It's ridiculous how far apart they are from the rest of the divisions in rankings and rankings affect division spoils.

Currently considering whether to go to my first ever national tournament in 7 days in London. It's not a question of nervousness (I am nervous but that isn't something that puts me off going) more concerned with travelling alone and money management. But I am 75% certain that I will be attending the tournament. As I said, I am quite nervous (like getting reked at the first round or something...) but all I can do is practice and hope that all goes well. I'll update on confirmation of me going on here and my progress if I do end up attending. :)

You should definitely go for it.
Nerves should pass in time, as long as you can just focus on each match as it comes.
Besides, even if you get knocked out early, you're surrounded by good players and you can get a lot of friendlies in.

I've done local tournaments but that's about all, the main thing I do want out of this is experience so that I can improve, this will hopefully be a great way to improve better.

Is that Blastzone?

If so, totally go. I cant make this one because of work, but I had a great time last time, I got rekt as well, I had ixis in my pool.

Also, last time I was there my card was eaten due to my bank being useless, I had no money and I was stranded in london for a weekend, but I still got by fine. Just go and enjoy yourself, the people there are cool and its a great experience.

Yeah it is Blastzone. Ixis is a cool guy :) my mentor who got me into smash is good friends with him, hanged out with him and everything. He could probably introduce me to him properly too lmao :D

Jaffar put it best.
Hector may think Jaffar is a monster, but he had a change in heart and actually has a soul.

It is a good thing that he joins you, considering how good he is at avoiding hits, getting second hits, and getting crits.
Also in that chapter, I got to promote Lyn.
upload_2016-1-2_17-31-51.png

Can't wait to use her now that she's promoted.
And it was so good to see Canas take down Sonia
upload_2016-1-2_17-35-52.png

I also got in some supports again. It was interesting to hear that both Canas and Pent's wives are very interested in each other (once Pent found out that he was the son of Niime)
It was also interesting learning about some of Jafar's past.

Okay guys! Confirmed with mum and everything that I will be attending my FIRST ever national tournament at 'Dat BlastZone 9' which is a part of the 'Road To Hypespotting'.

Here's a link to the page: https://www.facebook.com/events/442261219305300/

I'm super nervous about this and want to get some practice in beforehand. Feel free to hit me up if you're free for some matches and I'll let you know if I can get on.

*breathes deeply* I legit have a weird feeling in my stomach when I think about it.

Hey, your Finnish. I like Finland. It's a nice country.

:135:
I picked Curator. The division description said I would be one of the first to explore and discover new things. Much better job than what you dirty digging Prospectors have to do. My division benefits most from collecting things in the world and from eveyone's favorite activity: killing Tyrants. With that in mind, I will be hearing this:
A lot (not that that's a bad thing, this song kicks ass).

On that note, I also did catch sight of our lv 81 nod to the Rotbart from XC. Did not go near it (like hell I would).

You being nervous is normal. I suggest alot of sleep, eat healthy, do some ritual to help calm you down before the event and get there and play alot of people before the event and talk to people dont be scared when doing so. Helps trim down the nerves much as possible and they will never go away you will learn to live with it and fight with it. Hope that helps.

Interceptors. I honestly did not put a huge amount of thought into it since you can do all the other activities the other divisions do. Which I like, cuz I'd hate to be limited in what I can do in a game like this. Figured Interceptors wouldn't be a bad one; there's plenty of **** to shoot out there and you're forced to do a lot of combat anyway, and you'd think that they'd want as many people as they can get for combat duty. I generally like battling anyway. But besides that I'm also a bit into planting probes and reclamation work.

But holy **** why are Prospectors so far ahead of everyone else, that division legit has triple the points of the 2nd place division

Yoite Yoite we can always do some matches again sometime if you want. Really that goes for anyone here though.

Also, Gamegenie222 Gamegenie222 you ever got time for a few matches? You're kinda on my list of "people I should probably have wreck my ass sometime".

Uncontrollable was my favorite track in the game for awhile then I discovered this one...

I went with Interceptors. Generally, I like the battles in X and being able to shoot stuff, so yeah, pretty simple choice there. I do want to branch out into the other divisions eventually, but haven't investigated all the finer details yet.

Speaking of tournaments, I'm officially going to Pound VI in April
A major smash 4 tourney is my first tournament for smash *heavy breathing*
Not sure if there's some thread meant for introductions hidden here somewhere but I guess I could say something here.

Anyway, I'm just a guy from Finland who enjoys playing Robin to put it shortly. I've been lurking here for quite a while, mostly reading Zareidriel's and Raziek's guides, so I finally decided to register. I'm fairly new to the Smash scene (been in only a few tournaments, nothing major) despite the fact that I really love the series. Lately I've been pretty motivated to get good so that might be a part of the reason why I registered here. The Finnish scene is pretty small but the competition is tough, especially for a Robin Main, so hopefully I can improve here in some way :]

By the by, was there a thread meant for analyzing matches or something like that here? It would be pretty cool if I could get some critique to some of my recent games.
Hello, and welcome! Hope you enjoy! And nice taste in the avatar, persona is yum

Because Prospectors gain the most points when mining things. Couple that with the importance of mining in the game and the fact we gain a wooping 150 points every 15 minutes by doing absolutely nothing.

(I've been a Curator before, I gain 150 points every 15 minutes if I constantly look for stuff to pick up, but that's boring and time consuming.)

It's a win/win for me, then. I love to explore and pick up things, even if I already have it. That, and I still have some ground to cover.

*150 in 15 minutes if I'm in a Skell
...It takes a lot longer on foot.

But hey, I was a Curator before and I loved it. I just hate how "prospectin'" is so stupid...but I need that last tier reward stacked.


EDIT: As for favorite song in XCX...

Best part is at around ~1:00

The more I progress in the game, the more Lin and Tatsu seem like an old married couple!

Jump scares...

If it doesn't seem painfully obvious now then you won't ever get it but Tastu and Lin relationship is supposed to be similar to Riki and Melia.

So, this popped up on the Shulk Discord today, thought it was worth a post:

Also, hi guys! Just been hopelessly engrossed in Xenoblade 3D, haven't been posting much as a result. I'm still here though!

Well with DialNouns DialNouns , Yoite Yoite , and Milo AKA Papa Milo AKA Papa all going to tournaments fairly soon, I may be going to a tournament in Illinois tournament called Frosty Faustings on the 22nd/23rd.
The problem is, there is no guarantee that I will be able to make it on Friday and singles starts on Friday.
Granted, the tourney starts at 8 and I think I could be there by 8 but there's no guarantee.
But I don't know when I would leave because I live 1hr 30min away from the venue and it's best to arrive early to get some friendlies in.
I also don't have consistent means of travel.
But I could just maybe go and I would like to go to a tournament again and I was interested in it after I found out about it at the tourney I went to before.
