Well, maybe if you didn't post some bull **** so often, you wouldn't get criticized for it.

I don't post "bull ****" nearly as often as you claim I do

I've decided that Kal and I are fairly equal on Green Greens, and that my Fox is capable of taking his Peach surprisingly. I'm getting the timing down on up-smashes.

I've decided that Clay and I are fairly even on Yoshi's Story, and that my Fox is capable of taking his Marth surprisingly. I'm gettin the timing down on shine spikes.

You are getting better but...
You want to MM me?

 

[BRLNK88]

No I don't wanna MM you, that takes the fun out of Melee for me. The way we currently play I'm my most relaxed, and I hence play my best, until I get tired.
But I like to think you're trying your hardest when you play against me.

And if you'd been watching Matt, you'd know its not BS. If you're claiming I can't say that cuz I haven't faced Clay in tournament-like conditions on that stage, it aint gonna happen.

btw, anyone else seen Inception?

 

[Kal]

I ****ing hate it when you are required to complete a game once in order to unlock the hardest difficulty. It's even worse when they encourage some pseudo replay value by forcing you to beat the game to unlock each higher difficulty. Thanks a lot NGII.

butthurt

Looks right to me

 

[BRLNK88]

Be glad that games like that at least have difficulty modes.

 

[Noc]

My bro Josh made a sweeet logo for the OP of our thread and avatar for our smashboards account! I have sent an email to the club gmail account with these images attached.

 

[JackieRabbit5]

as gratitude call me Mr. UT Smash Club =p

btw Good luck w/ it Edgar

 

[BRLNK88]

Josh, looks great, but you don't go to UT Austin.

 

[leprechaun]

what part of town do you live, leprechaun?

i live in south part of town, but getting around isn't hard for me either

 

[Taku]

Yeah Rohan, great job ending it early by making your point and tacking on a remark at the end stating that you don't want to argue. You know, if you don't want to argue, don't argue.

Matt: **** you. You don't like the arguments, great, but adding little obnoxious remarks doesn't help. Ever hear of the ignore feature? Nothing would make me happier than to discover that you no longer pay attention to what I have to say.

Andrew, why do you always have something to say when Rohan and I get into an argument? It's not like it's super-****ing-difficult to skip over our posts, and it's not as though we're taxing the world's limited resources by debating on smashboards.

This is the most butthurt post i've read in this whole thread, congrats !

 

[blackfox51]

Awesome changes!
Can I just be a runaway stormtrooper? =D

Oh yeah, you could add the youtube channel to the first post. I can just delete the post I first made for the club after you do that.

Hey Matt, how would you like to travel all the way to Alief to play me? Are you still taking summer classes?

 

[Kal]

Be glad that games like that at least have difficulty modes.

If you think this way, you'll just encourage poor standards in video games. The developers would absolutely love for the consumer to just be "grateful" for what they dish out, without inserting any critical thought into what they purchase.

Justin, I changed your rank to "Derelict Stormtrooper." I think the word "derelict" is cool.

Who's down for smash tonight?

 

[BRLNK88]

That's true, but the thing is, a large number of people need to think that way for the developers to change their minds. Hence why Nintendo isn't really listening to what hardcore gamers want now, and why they're receiving so much hate from them.

There's so many casual gamers who would rather just buy the game, beat it, and give no 2nd thought to higher difficulty settings.

 

[Kal]

I'm not going to disagree that they probably won't change it because of a small number of complaints. On the other hand, that doesn't really justify the "you should just be grateful" attitude. Also, it depends largely on what we are asking to be changed. Some things are easy enough to change without harming sales or even changing the experience for other gamers. It doesn't effect the rest of the market to have the harder difficulties unlocked by default. I lost my Bayonetta save and have to go back through on normal and hard in order to continue PP running nonstop climax, which is bull ****.

Also, I'm almost positive Nintendo will announce a WiiHD soon in order to win more hardcore gamers. The Wii only displaying in 480 made sense when it was released, because many people hadn't yet translated to HDTVs, but now they would benefit from the release of such a console. Since they've already won the casual market, the logical next step (which goes hand-in-hand with the transition to HDTVs) is to try and win over the hardcore gamer market.

Also, if the WiiHD is a significantly more powerful machine than the Wii, we can expect ports of games from the other consoles. Most game developers would be more than happy to port their titles to the WiiHD for an easy profit.

Rohan, you mentioned possibly staying in Houston in the fall. Is that the plan?

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

if a WiiHD were to come out, you're right, companies can port alot of their games to Wii. but i severely doubt we would see a WiiHD. Michael Pachter has been predicting WiiHD for years already. even Nintendo themselves said they are uninterested in it.

im not a big graphics ***** as i care more about the gameplay rather than it looking exceedingly over the top.

 

[Kal]

When did Nintendo say it was uninterested in the WiiHD? Also, I don't care about fantastic graphics. I just want my console to be able to display in high definition. That, and games wouldn't lag as much on an HDTV if they were rendered in HD.

 

[BRLNK88]

Rohan, you mentioned possibly staying in Houston in the fall. Is that the plan?

nope, Clay will be in Houston, I'll either be in London or Austin.

 

[MT_]

Justin I'll think about it. I haven't been playing anyone recently because I've been all smashed out from HOBO and IT. If I ever become THAT desperate for smash that I need to play you then maybe =P.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

kal, here's the article. http://wii.kombo.com/article.php?artid=15792

it was back in march but not like anything has changed since then. if Nintendo don't see much benefit other than better graphics, they are not going to care at the moment

rohan, still no word?!

 

[Kal]

This breaks my heart Andrew.

 

[MVPaintballer]

hai guys

do u guys still play a lot of melee? I'll be a freshman this year at UT so yeah.

 

[Nubz]

Kal still wanna smash tonight?

 

[BRLNK88]

I try not to constantly think about it Andrew cuz its stressing the **** out of me, but yeah, they apparently enjoy keeping me in suspense.

It's a combination of the problem with my application, and my cumulative GPA thanks to starting in Engineering, and my grade in Historical Linguistics, the most ****ing ******** class in the world.

 

[reqy]

i live in south part of town, but getting around isn't hard for me either

Someone else on the southern side of austin? Should really play sometime soon (PM if interested?).

Austin should seriously get a non-last-minute fest going on at least once over the summer since some people are here for school and/or visiting over the summer.

hai guys

do u guys still play a lot of melee? I'll be a freshman this year at UT so yeah.

You going to be living in the dorms?

 

[MVPaintballer]

yes omg reqy your alive?!?!

i missed your samus ****** my marth all these years!

 

[Kal]

All right guys, smash at my place tonight. FOR REAL!

 

[leprechaun]

well something that's planned ahead of time could work out, i really need to get some practice vs people haha

 

[blackfox51]

@Matt: That desperate?
JERK! haha, I'm up for it any time though

Derelict sounds cool... if I were neglected and didn't have a home haha. I guess I will be though for the next year... meh.

Is anyone actually going to Apex, or Good S*** German? Just wondering.

 

[MVPaintballer]

where is welch lol

 

[BRLNK88]

Look up "Speedway" its along that street, near Jester, if you wanna use that as a land mark.

 

[MVPaintballer]

Okay!

I'm moving in 8/20 at night, Are you guys getting together to smash anytime near after that?? Im really eager to get back into melee, I have a cube

 

[Kal]

I wouldn't mind throwing a smash fest for you that night. If that's too soon, I can set up a smash fest whenever you're ready.

 

[Noc]

Kal or Edgar, you should update the OP and avatar with those cool logos Josh made. I sent them in png format to the club gmail address.

Edit: also maybe add link to our facebook group to OP. AND would be cool to embed our google calendar on OP.

I was worried about this too, but luckily, it's considered proper to call someone derelict if he neglects his duties:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/derelict

–adjective
1.
left or deserted, as by the owner or guardian; abandoned: a derelict ship.
2.
neglectful of duty; delinquent; negligent.

I'm gonna bring my Mario back.

[MVPaintballer]

Ill most likely be moving in like at 11pm so its gonna be late hahaha

next day sounds cool anytime before classes start

 

[Kal]

Ok, I'll have a smash fest on August 21.

 

[Noc]

There is a chance that Insane Triumph 2 will occur on that day. If it is, Austin can't miss it or darkrain will cry. (and if darkrain misses it everyone will cry lol)

 

[-RedShadow]

You mother****ers, I move in on that weekend
