Utah Thread - Dead thread is dead

[KuroganeHammer]

If they're only allowed to moderate a certain area, shouldn't they have restricted access to just that area for moderation privilege?

A long time ago apparently moderators just had basically super mod powers where they could edit/merge/delete on the entire site, but they were told to specifically not use 'em unless it was an emergency (think porn bot or a member posting explicit images), then it got changed that you could only moderate rooms you were assigned. But I believe that since Xenforo update it's gone back to how it used to be.

I don't mind that, but I think most of our newer normal mods simply haven't read the part where they're meant to stay in their own boards.

I feel like you hang out in our thread because its the most active thread on the boards.

Also SHLC wants some critique on his playstyle etc. NOT his character choice haha.

Wii so I can have it at my tourneys

Ah sweet I have it on my wii too. That'd be sick to have at the tourneys. If I ever come, I can bring the setup if you ever need it to make it go faster

Edit: Plans are kind of up in the air tomorrow. Anyone wanna smash?

True. Just shove the rule book down their throat. It's worked for me in times past

Both of you really need to work on L-canceling and spacing.

Another thing to keep in mind. When you are below an opponent as Marth you want to stay below them. Use your uptilt when you are below them. Don't try to shield poke with nair(it usually won't work and will get you punished)

As Marth you should be using your Fair to space a lot more. You used mostly your nair(which is easier to punish.). You can retreat nicely while doing your fair. Plus it has a really good amount of follow ups(unlike nair). From Fair(assuming tipped) you can lead into another fair or any other aerial. Or a forward smash.

For edgeguarding against Roy. Stand about a model distance away from the ledge. Face away from the ledge. When Roy does his up b do your forward smash toward the ledge. The reason you do this is because your hurtbox is smaller on your back than your front. (@ Tomacawk can correct me if I'm wrong here)

Another thing is to memorize your sweet spot for your up b.(The lowest distance you can be and then up b and grab the ledge) It's extremely important.

Will probably write more later.

Thank you very much for the advice! L-canceling is just something I have got to get into my head, I always get in the moment and forget it entirely. I guess spacing just comes with practice? Fair... I need to use the cstick for that don't I... That shouldn't be too hard to implement I think. The ledgeguarding thing sounds awesome, I'll definitely try that out. And the sweet spot grabbing the ledge... just gotta practice for that too I figure.

Thanks, really. Just got done with a rather disheartening session, so these tips give me a bit of hope.

Looks like there will be another episode https://twitter.com/_samox_

That's exciting. You think it will be centered on Armada?

 

[Roguay]

i think it'll be centered on EVO/ the "second golden age"

 

[socandrewcer]

Not a clue. If he does melee, I bet it would be Armada.

But he is thinking of maybe doing a Brawl episode

That might be interesting. I wouldn't mind, honestly. More melee is always good but a Brawl episode might calm the haters.

 

[Mr. Fox]

I'm thinking it would be about Dr. Peepee seeing as he won Apex, the next big event in Smash after Evo.

 

[Meleeruler]

I feel he would need to make it about Armada's reign. Why they didn't have an episode for him in the first place I'll never know, since he won 5 straight nationals and went undefeated for almost two years. I thought the Mango episode would touch on this (and talk about Genesis 1 and 2) but it didn't, and for some reason focused on FC-10 and his 'rivalry' with Hungrybox, where in reality Armada was Mango's real rival.

 

[Mr. Fox]

They touched a little bit on Armada in the last episode where Evo goes on. Peepee talks about Genesis 1 and 2, and it shows Mango's rivalry with Armada. His matches against Armada were the most extensive out of the top 8 matches they showed, and they really let the commentary
demonstrate the long time Mango had been waiting for that win.

 

[Meleeruler]

They touched on it, but I feel it was a much much bigger deal than they laid it out as being.

 

[Remioli]

Anyone remember is cafe nio reserved for the 22nd? Drawing a blank here.

Not confirmed.

People are forgetting just how long and prominent Armada's reign was. He most definitely deserves his own episode. If they make the episode about Genesis that would be awesome.

 

[Tsuteto]

Should be the third Saturday, which would be the 15th. But it's up to DS4 for reserving mainly, since that's been his thing.

 

[Remioli]

Cool. Lucario is in SSB4

[Z'zgashi]

God dammit not Lucario, nooooo...

Why couldnt they add an actual good pokemon like Sunflora?

 

[Tuesday]

Mismagius for best Pokémon. 3spooky5me. :3

 

[Tsuteto]

They should've just added Metapod. Nobody would be able to knock him out.

 

[Z'zgashi]

<--- Best Pokemon

ROFL how is somebody going to anonymously ding dong ditch a gamecube + melee at my front door and not even stay to play

Hey you don't happen to live relatively near a front runner station do you? I'm up for going but I'd be coming from Orem.

 

[Tomacawk]

Hey you don't happen to live relatively near a front runner station do you? I'm up for going but I'd be coming from Orem.

about 2 miles from front runner. you can take bus 220, 209, or (i think... not positive on this one) bus 3 to get to within 1 block, 2 blocks, or 2 blocks from where i live, respectively

i'm more than happy to give you directions, but be sure to check maps.google.com first, as the public transit option is a godsend

We're still playing Melee, aren't we? (I heard that Utah has some really good Halo players, so we might not be as skilled, comparatively, but still.)
