But 5 of them will have silly internet names.

Only one will go by Dan - I will take the name as my own with my amazing skills.

For real.

I along with Silver am running the RIT smash club. We have a facebook group where I can message anyone with stuff. I also post regularly on the boards. RIT has (just the players that attend RIT): me (Pyro), Silver, Scud Missile, Jason, Spam, Minic, the general, RTF, PikaPika and Moss kinda. Plus there are 2 other players that i know are going to RIT his year who play melee. Plus some of the brawl kids like KID play melee sometimes. Also we have Foy, Vicious, and Jesiah, and hubble who live elsewhere who are fairly regular to smash club. I hope I didn't forget anyone. And now you. Melee scene is looking to be pretty good this year. We have monthly to biweekly tournies with syracuse. These sometimes attract the canadians if theyre large enough (Kirbykaze, raynex, unknown, etc). There will probably be other kids too because Melee kids are getting to the college age.

can't wait to play you.
Main?

Id put up 20$ for lain v chibo (in lains favor) .

However, i wouldnt put up 20$ for lain vs pikapika. Just cause i know how gay he is and annoying it is. And hes well known for pulling **** out his *** last minute.

Anyone else thinking Project M is looking pretty good?

aside from making ganon playable again, game looks kinda lame (read: kinda EXACTLY like melee...)

I just really like how Hyrule 64 is a stage.

I play the N64 game to play there & Saffron City. So good.

I hope in the next Smash they get some of the 64 stages back, they were fun.

I would be fine with Project M if they still tried to actually fix moves no one liked or were obviously messed up from Melee instead of making it exactly the same (unless they are and I'm just ignant)

looks like a ghetto weird version of melee.

kind of convinced stuff like dj instant wavelands with lots of momentum wouldnt work right. but this is jsut based on like 2 videos ive seen.

and by broken moves, you mean peaches dsmash and roy's fsmash?

also, i've played project M for anyone that cares. I didn't enjoy it that much (possibly from a lack of Roy). There were a few highlights from it. I enjoyed playing ike a lot. Link was not the crap he is in vBrawl. unhighlight was diddy being absolute trash, when they killed his traction, they killed his glide toss; also losing the ability to pick up items from his dash attack is stupid.

I was also talking about bad moves that needed a buff or configuration of effect, too. Maybe "broken" moves need a tweak instead of absolute nerf, something that still gives it unique properties.

Lol yeah its not toe-maaaahhh-toe. Although pronounce it how you like. You probably won't have to announce it too much since the only matches I'll be in are first rounders. Yay inexperience!

This post was brought to you by smashboards mobile. Blackberries are nice.

No :| ...there's already a melee. I'd be more interested in an "everyone is equally broken" brawl minus sort revamp/mod.


i want to be technical again, but i feel too old. i need more practice.

tech is so much easier the younger you are though =(
So practice, you bum! My tech skill vaporizes over the course of a few days, but it's definitely possible to keep up with the youngins. Mind over matter?

Everything is punishable. Peach's dsmash is restable, swordable, etc. Spacing/disjoint ftw. Just watch kaoudgje try to Fox-bair me out of it (or maybe laser cuz he's a huge wuss lol!)

~2:07, marth fsmash. There's about a 10 frame startup lag that I try to hit sometimes (because I'm still not good at shieldstun yet).

I have no problem with how dsmash hits, but the fact that it shuts off CC so hard is a bit abnoxious. I really don't like taking 80% if you guess right and i approach with a dtilt.

Things I think should be changed: chain throws that go past 40% (so shiek's dthrow should be PAL version), peach's dsmash should be 1/2 the percent it does currently. Those are obvious nerfs to me, but maybe I'm biased.

Also obvious low tier buffs (of course bias). Roy's usmash should do 100% and have more fire.

Hi CJT, long time no see.

Bry passing was the biggest hit any region could take, but SS3 was fun and because of him we're a powerful region. He did a lot for us. It was the least we could do. :)

P.S.: I love you guys. Especially XXX. He's a hero.

Problem being that we play different games. And that you're more legit; campus kids aren't super serial.

NOT TO PUT US DOWN, CUZ ME AND ERIC STILL SHUT DOWN DR.G AND GOGGLES IN DOUBLES THAT ONE MATCH. AND I DUNNO, BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY DOUBLES REPLAY OF GOGGLES ON MY WII RIGHT NOW, SO WE MUST BE GOOD, RIGHT? Also, we pals, bro. Though, smashapartment jesiah melee school... hrm.

Also, my wii LIVES. **** YEAH. Thanks to pyro for telling me wiis randomly lock up after surges and need to be unplugged at BOTH ends to reset. (lol wut)

Not another PR design where you have to look around for people.

There's too many of those already. D:

Edit: Actually, it just goes from top to bottom. Not as bad, actually.
