Is it cool with whoever is at the apartment if I come by and stay between the 22nd (Friday) and the 24th (Sunday)?

I can drive up that weekend. I wanna play you guys again.

Plus I gotta grab my stuff that has been probably collecting dust for the past few months lol

So holy crap I'm postin' again. It's been a bit hectic tryin' to find work and what not, but how's ya'll been and all that good stuff? Sun and I probably won't be attending any tourneys until sometime next year. I need to get a job and get that settled to help pay my share of rent and all that, but maybe sometime if he gets a weekend off, we may come down and chillax with ya'll down in Rochester or even Syracuse, dependin' on what's goin' on and all that jazz.

Random statement because I haven't posted in forever and a half. I have to get myself on that power ranking list even if its #10. That is all for now.

I love when people in Brawl get a kill and they want to show off like you can in Melee, but Brawl has nothing of that.

*Full charge upsmash....upsmash.*

I love when people get a kill in general and feel that have to show off, melee or brawl, when instead they should be setting up for the next stock and positioning themselves for the invincible character that's about to drop down. You'll learn though c:

I actually don't try to show off in tournament play. c:

In a friendly, why not try practicing a little tech skill when you have the chance?

Tech skill isnt the only thing it takes to win in melee. Should play all friendlys as if they were tournament matches if you are truly trying to improve.

Yet you still screw around trying to be fancy in brawl after you kill me, (example: "attempting" To dR with yoshi) and what always happens? YOU DIE NOOB! Moral of the story. If your trying to get better dont try and be fancy. And besides try hard in melee is different than try hard in brawl Lol.

Im the best!

Not true at all, you use friendlies to test out new ideas and strategies, as well as general learning of habits people can fall into or learning matchups. You wouldn't play a tournament match to learn or try out something potentially risky, whereas you would with a friendly match where there's nothing on the line. It's not that you shouldn't be trying to win friendlies, but you should be putting much more focus on improvement and learning.

And there's nothing wrong with a little flash now and again.

sounds like cura is just a big ole hypocrite with everything related to sharky.

zao is also exactly right.

although in both games, I tend to do stupid unsafe things that the opponent thinks they can punish so they can attack in a straight forward manner, then I can easily avoid them and time out their I frames.

:yoshi: I....completely forgot about Smash club.

May be hitting that up later.

My state of sobriety when I arrive may also be completely in question.

Drunk running-in-the-rain-to-RIT, however, is probably the exact opposite.

I totally want to see what Tyrant looks like without his afro.

I hope his hair is braided, because I totally can't picture him with a shaved head.

so I found out statistically more people die walking home drunk than driving.

For your own safety...drive drunk to RIT ASAP.

Ps: my cousin is coming to the school tonight for dodgeball if anyone wants to meet him :)
