**ToS Presents: CLASH OF THE TITANS Melee/Brawl Tourney - DISCUSS COT DATES NOW**

[CT Chia]

Ok, I keep changing my mind on the stages to be legal for Brawl singles for this tourney (I've yet to think about doubles)

Here is what I'm sure on so far:

Neutral:
-Final D
-Battlefield
-Yoshis Island (Brawl)
-Pokemon Stadium
-Lylat Cruise
-Isle Delfino
-Castle Siege
-Smashville

Counterpick:
-Skyworld
-Corneria
-Green Greens
-Brinstar
-Jungle Japes
-Rainbow Cruise
-Luigi's Mansion
-Norfair
-Official CoT3 Custom Stage

Now the stages in question...

-Mario Circuit
Should it be banned or counterpick? The cars aren't that bad, but the fact that it's an always walk off (on both directions) stage that's not too big, it gives Dedede way too much of an advantage. My guess is banned but it could go either way.

-Frigate Orpheon
Should it be counterpick, or dare I say.... neutral?? I was playing it more recently and the stage flip isn't that bad. It's random so it can happen once in a match, or 3-4 times. Plus, theres a siren that gives you a clear like 2-3 second warning that the stage is gonna flip. There aren't any other obstacles.

Stages I think that should be banned that some may argue could be counterpick

-Pictochat
I think this stage is terrible and I'm against it being counterpick, though some believe it should be. I've yet to see a good reason why.

-Port Town
Some people don't think it's that bad but the cars kill at low-mid percents, they are extremely fast with not much warning at all, and it's quite random compared to Mute City in Melee.

-Shadow Moses Island
I say banned for the fast it's so hard to kill horizontally and that a Metal Gear can appear. I mean, it's not TERRIBLE, but I still think banned worthy. idk, I mean if anyone wants to argue for it to be counterpick, it's open to discussion.

-Yoshi's Island (Melee)
I dunno what to think for this one. The middle blocks on the floor are still kinda stupid, and the steep slope to the right that's also walk off isn't that friendly for anyone really. I personally think banned, but again, open for discussion.

Also, I'm almost sure I'm going to switch back to the old stage select rules with 2 bans and only one of the two being able to be a neutral stage. Afterall, there are many more stages this time around, especially with 7-9 neutrals.

Isn't castle siege a walkoff half the time? If so I think it should definitely not be nuetral and should be up for counterpick at least.

Isn't castle siege a walkoff half the time? If so I think it should definitely not be nuetral and should be up for counterpick at least.

its a walk off during the inside the castle and in transition times. the transition times dont matter as theres not enough time for a dedede to get a grab on you and full chain grab you to the end, especially without putting him in jeopardy either if hes far out there when it switches.

as for the inside the castle, its a generally big area so if you happen to be going against a ddd thats chain grab crazy, then just stay away, it's quite easy to not get grabbed. and the outside and below the castle sections are great. iv been playing with it on random for a while now and have had no problems at all. if a buncha ppl have a problem with it i guess it could become counterpick, but i just dont think theres that much of a problem.

-Yoshis Story (Brawl)

its called fawken yoshis island jesus fawken christ

 

[CT Chia]

its called fawken yoshis island jesus fawken christ

fawk i messed up. i knew that tho lol, just a typo. else i wouldnta put (brawl) next to it as it has the same name as the melee stage. sooo stupid tho, the entire level is themed from the game yoshis STORY

 

[Rain(ame)]

GOTM, I hope I didn't offend you....I just don't like the eagles. Probably because they have a problem with winning when they should, like Chibo said. They are a good team, and if they make it farther than the cowboys I will cheer for them. But I think the fans and their rudeness is probably my biggest problem. I'm really sick of hearing how much they rock and yet they don't have the Superbowls to back it up. They ARE a good team, but they tend to choke when the time comes. At least they aren't as bad as the Buffalo Bills....their superbowl record is HORRENDOUS. Eagles are an impressive team, I just wish the fans would be a little nicer. Seriously, though, sorry if I offended you, lol. I respect them as in a team, they are solid, I just think they need to step it up in the clinch. Oh, and the Giants....they earned that one, for real. Eli almost choked and screwed the season up for them, but he pulled through. I give respect to teams that aren't my own, and realize when my own team blows it. (Yes, the cowboys did blow it towards the end. *shrugs* it happens) Anyhow, enough sports, back to smash. ^_^

Oh and thanks about the Sonic, Chibo. *sigh* So I guess I've gotta finish this bloody maze. CURSE YOU MAZE!!!!! One of my favorite parts of SSE was DeDeDe vs. Bowser, ROFL!!!

"Crank that Roy"

 

[GOTM]

ame i have a counter argument to everything you just said about the greatest football team alive. but i will refrain on the terms of possibly writing more text than i have have before and having wasted a whole 2 hours of my day doing so.

 

[teh_spamerer]

This is true, people haven't learned to never approach yet and camp all day forever.

I don't camp at all in Brawl, I just attack with Meta Knight.

 

[pockyD]

fawk i messed up. i knew that tho lol, just a typo. else i wouldnta put (brawl) next to it as it has the same name as the melee stage. sooo stupid tho, the entire level is themed from the game yoshis STORY

yeah let's just call lylat system "star fox" and castle siege "fire emblem"



also, the eagles suck and are really just an embarrassment to the otherwise amazing nfc east

 

[GOTM]

also, the eagles suck and are really just an embarrassment to the otherwise amazing nfc east

yeah um....like...wow...

im holding back

 

[Talwind]

Just let it all go, Gohan.

 

[Rain(ame)]

LOL@ Talwind. Dude, GOTM, I said I respect the Eagles. They almost always have a good team. Ignore the "Eagles suck". If I exploded at everytime someone said the cowboys suck, I'd be like Broly, ROFL. Seriously, not worth the time. I understand how you <3 your team. I actually respect you for not being like the average Eagles fan. So GOTM, whenever my tournament hits....I have to postpone, I'll have a special prize for you. *nods*



"Crank that Roy"

 

[Dark.Pch]

It went from a brawl argument to sports argument. I wonder whats next..........

 

[pockyD]

please don't hold back, i LOVE arguing about how bad the eagles are

i mean how are you in a division with 11 super bowl wins and not have a single one of them?

 

[GOTM]

im not going to completely turn this COT thread into a sports debate, lol

 

[pockyD]

there's no debate, the eagles are an embarrassment

not just to their division/conference, but even to their own fans (ask mogwai how he feels about the eagles lolz)

 

[CT Chia]

i mean how are you in a division with 11 super bowl wins and not have a single one of them?

because akers felt bad for the other team

 

[pockyD]

when your team's best player is a kicker, you're pretty awful

even though wait, who was the nfc's pro bowl kicker this year?

geez the cowboys are awesome (and the eagles suck)

 

[CT Chia]

again, he was sandbaggin' lol.

anyone else have any insight on the stages?

 

[Pakman]

At least when we lost, none of our players cried in an interview.

 

[pockyD]

truly impressive since you guys had twice as many chances as dallas did to cry after a loss

 

[Cheezit]

at least when we lost ...... oh wait we won the superbowl LOLZZZZ

 

[pockyD]

yer a giants guy?

eggm told me that whole area was eagles country

 

[Cheezit]

God no im a giants fan he knows that

 

[CT Chia]

yea generally north jersey = giants

south jersey = eagles

 

[pockyD]

and according to eggm, central NJ = eagles as well

poor idiots

 

[Sneak8288]

tsk.... eagles fans, they still make those??..... and u dont have to camp to win in brawl... ur brain works lol its so sad how many ppl dont like brawl.... it kinda seems like ppl are mad overall bcuz they're losin ppl who play melee and they're playin brawl now and its like they want them to think the same way they do so they still have more ppl to play with. i think brawl could be competetive.... honestly i think any game can be competetive. its just that brawl is easier and u dont have to push a billion buttons to win. but hey thats my own opinion

 

[Eggm]

The eagles fans are the best fans. And yes i'm a proud eagles fan. We are winning the super bowl next season, watch for us. I don't like brawl simply because I get bored playing it really fast. And I"m not mad cause I suck at it or anything or cause I can't press buttons. I just hate not having options, I did nearly beat azen at the one and only brawl tournament i've entered. He said "You were my hardest match in that tournament."

 

[pockyD]

you also told me they were winning the superbowl when they were 5-8 this past season

 

[Ken34]

eagle fans make me laugh, i have to deal with them every year, but its ok. im a packers fan btw, so i have like a innate hatred towards the eagles, and one was just recently created with the giants and eli manning as well...

 

[Eggm]

My friend who was even with me in Tekken is giving me a hard time with his Metaknight in Brawl. He takes basic tactics I taught him in Melee which include sheild grabbing, roll predicting running grabs, and camping. It's pissing me off. In Melee I can at times 4 stock him so it's frustrating to be having trouble with him now. I'm just going to have to step it up.

Stuff like this is going to happen a lot in brawl. For example that random guy forte who came outta no where and ***** at the chu bwieekly.

or like when i practiced for 3 hours total, and came the closest to beating azen in the first chu biweekly.

Interesting comment coming from you.

Yes it is. ^^ However if you ask m2k he says I don't spam that bad. And he says silent wolf spams way harder. Also scar said reik spams harder than me vs CF. I actually have pretty good approaches and i'd say offense is my strongest point in melee.

Now brawl LOL, all I do is spam thunderbolts like a jerk, ask m2k he saw me play azen LOL I literally NEVER approach in that game, theres no reason to.

Oh and the eagles are going to **** this coming season. They had an off year, it happens. They've out placed the giants for like 4-5 years before that, call it a fluke.

 

[Scar]

Brawl is competitive garbage.

 

[Toushi]

Brawl is competitive garbage.

[SLAYERCoLdKiLr]
