I wonder who'll surpass Durand first... I think it'll be one or both of the twins.

I did not have an easy time against that Snake... but I don't remember losing any Ike dittos yesterday.

...maybe Ike is okay for now, but once we figure out what we're doing, he'll be pretty bad.

yeah, ike will be bad lol, basically with ike you have to play smart, i think the best way to recover if someone is trying to uair is to time ur b charge move so u have ur super armor, i still need to learn how to use it more effiiciently

marth = too good

snake doesn't work well on norfair lol, he's only good on stages that have like 2 or 3 platforms and a fairly good amount of flat surface
i think Rob's best stage might be Norfair and Delfano

i basically have the most trouble with characters that have multiple jumps like pit, metknight

need to work on zelda more, she has so much potential, her dsmash sends u diagonally down, soo good

stage list imo

FD, Battlefield, Smashville, Lylat Cruise, Pokemon Stadium (not pokemon stadium 2, changes are ********), and Yoshi's Island
are neutral stages

counterpickable stages: Halberd, Brinstar, Green Greens, Jungle Japes, Rainbow Cruise, Norfair, Frigate Orpheon, Luigi's Mansion, Delfino Plaza

The only thing that redeems Stadium 2 is seeing Granondorf run on the treadmill.

I'm new to all this, but I will be here all week (I live in WA and don't have the money to fly home). I have a Wii, two remotes/nunchucks, a GC controller and of course the game itself. If anyone wants to play, I live on Armory, so just let me know and I'll see if we can arrange anything.

My mom just destroyed the sensor bar cord with the vacuum cleaner, but I did a bit of research and it turns out the "sensor bar" is just a pair of IR emitters. A pair of candles or flashlights works just as well.

So until the new one comes in, I've got two flashlights sitting in front of the Wii.

So basically Nintendo has taken 1.5 years just to manufacture a couple dozen CD players hooked up to 2 candles on a stick?

actually, they're technically dvd players but they've been restricted by the software and main hardware components that allow it to play DVD's like a dvd =_=

JUST so people know, we've moved to allisbrawl.com

so people looking here for location and place, check the same topic in the allisbrawl forum

I think the fact that AllisBrawl sort of limits itself to one game is kind of silly.

I prefer the brawl forums. I dunno why, maybe it's the color scheme.

I went to the melee and brawl tourneys at ACEN. (anime convention near Chicago) Brawl started an hour late, and melee was 2.5 hours late. Brawl had three setups for a 40 person tourney, and melee had one stupid setup for a 20 person tourney. And ALL of them had a half second of lag. It was ridiculous.

The rest of Acen was... eh.. not for me. I only went because I had a free pass.

Melee will never die!

I know you were thinking "Melee" when you said that, so go ahead and do it without me.

Someone play me online sometime soon.

You don't have to sign anything, but you will have to be in contact with people. They will likely email you.

Also talk to Joshua at Game Stop when it gets closer to quad day.

i just finished reading the leaked script of avatar the last airbender and it was.... well... as expected?

a few surprises but nothing really...

wonder how it will translate to cartoon, seems like it will be pretty good... i guess
did anyone know they were making a live movie of this series? =_=


anyhow, i believe falco is pretty awesome in brawl... also pit is gay with his triple arrows

Now I know how those Harry Potter fans felt when there was a leak. Don't tell me!

Yeah, M. Night Shamalaman is working on a trilogy.

I misspelled that intentionally.

I'm up for some smash, preferably melee if you wanted to play me. You'll probably destroy me, but since we're both bored; it'll give us something fun to do.

I'm Bo Garman. I just graduated a couple weeks ago, but i'll be living here in Urbana (near Lincoln & Springfield) for another year at least. I joined the smashing illini group a while back but never actually played with you guys. I know matt and tom, but other than that probably haven't met any of you.

Okay, well I guess I will see you at quad day. We are working on getting a set up there, so maybe I can play you there.

Melee only though, F. brawl.

I hope I don't end up eating these words, but I would think that there are more brawlers than melee-ers on campus. Unless the intent is to entice new people to the wonders of melee?

Yo, I'm here pretty much all summer, probably leaving at the end of July for a couple of weeks. I know Robin is back in town too, so we should get something going. My boss doesn't really care if I show up to work so any time is good for me.
