[Forte4Tei]

Finally M2 is viable in Brawl

 

[Suntan Luigi]

Now that all my characters are out, I need at least 2 or 3 new people to main. Guys throw some characters at me that I should use this weekend.

 

[CAOTIC]

Ganondorf, Captain Falcon and hmmmm.... Sonic

 

[Everence]

pokemanz trainer! ask your bro to teach you ganondorf

 

[Suntan Luigi]

I'll consider Ganon but I don't want to use broken characters like Sonic, PT or especially Falcon.

 

[Dekar289]

Ok i understand the reason behind the banning of MK but why are we
Whats happening on Saturday?

supa smash fest at dekar's

std!

 

[Suntan Luigi]

Shaz- Spam winning? There's only one person for each of those characters you listed that mains them:
Falco: me
DDD: Redact
Snake: no one
mk: Forte

That doesn't look like spam winning to me. Also Dekar used G&W last monthly and got second place. Isn't that "spam winning" as well. (nothing negative towards dekar of course, just g&w). I'm going to have to use g&w next monthly since you've banned all the characters who had an advantage or even matchup against him aka he's the next mk. ill post more later. gotta sleep like right now

 

[LemonManX]

Super Smash Bros. Game and Watch, anyone?

 

[Cronos_Rainbow]

There are a lot more players of those chars than what you're claiming Cobalt.
I'll let KO answer the next part by correspondence:
L.A. STANDARD WOLFENBOOZER says:
and cobalt misses the point completely by going the next best possible character GAW
Look if everyone wants to boohoo at GW we can remove him too. It will only further suit my aim anyhow - more character diversity if everyone plans to spam him instead.

Also want to mention that Shadow Moses will face the same fate as those characters mentioned earlier for this month.

 

[Everence]

just get rid of G&W shaz, or just declare the entire top tier off-limits for this month only.

edit: is shadow moses that problematic?

 

[Shaya]

I'd say just use ****ing Ice Climbers.

They're more god **** evil than any of the other characters.

Banning most of Top Tier pretty much allows Ice Climbers to have **** match ups against every character playable except Marth and G&W, ha ha ha.

 

[Redact]

yay i get to use olimar more since i dont have to face a snake player with him!

 

[Suntan Luigi]

Okii dokii Shaz. Besides I need to learn how to use Captain Falcon.

hmm maybe I should use Marth. Someone

Spoiler

other than Shaya

convince me.

 

[CAOTIC]

Ice Climbers are fine. They take a good deal of practice and their technical skill is removed with stage hazards. So sets can swing either way.

Shadow Moses only serves as a good anti-MK stage, with him temporairly out of the picture it becomes more redundant.

I'll be in North America from 13 November - 1 December, so enjoy the November Ranbat without me! I'll miss you all and will call a pre-departure Smash'dfest for all. Perhaps the Melbourne Cup long weekend, and a Melee onry tourney

 

[Cronos_Rainbow]

Well if you want to use Marth go for it. I'm hoping for more of the characters we don't really see though from people; Yoshi, Mario, Link, Luigi, Diddy, Gdorf, Sonic, Bowser etc. etc. (and yes Olimar too)

 

[bylim5]

oh no... Marth =(

 

[Amaterasu]

Gah, I want to come to this Melb monthly.
I've made my Yoshi an absolute beast

 

[TakFR]

I'd say just use ****ing Ice Climbers.

They're more god **** evil than any of the other characters.

Banning most of Top Tier pretty much allows Ice Climbers to have **** match ups against every character playable except Marth and G&W, ha ha ha.

This is very true, if the person playing as them, picks FD or Bridge of Eldin etc and chainthrows to death over and over again

 

[Amaterasu]

You can chain throw to death on the spot, the height, length, obstacles (unless you get pushed off or moved) doesn't really matter for ICs.
However, I doubt anyone can really pull off 0-death (without spiking) that easily with ICs, just don't get grabbed =)

 

[Cronos_Rainbow]

If you guys haven't caught on by now that infinite chain grabs and stalling techniques are a no go then I really feel sorry for you :D

 

[CAOTIC]

I really can't wait for this monthly! Finally we get to see a little bit more real skill!

 

[Amaterasu]

'Ice Climber Chainthrowing - Is legal up to 300%. Players caught performing it beyond 300% will be disqualified.'

???

Lol cao, I don't know about the skill bit, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this monthly goes

 

[Everence]

are you here this monthly chris? i wanna see your pikachu.

it will be an interesting monthly, i'm interested in what people would use instead.

 

[CAOTIC]

I said a LITTLE bit more!

 

[icek]

Since it's all about spam players being banned the month I reckon we should ban Marth this month as well. Reason being he is probably the most over used Brawl character(at Melbourne monthly's) and since character diversity is the whole objective this month.
Just an idea no need to get angry every one.

 

[Everence]

mainly spam winners, marth players haven't exactly placed highly yet. and pretty much only three people use them that i know of (CATS, my bro and emily?). but i don't know, we may see a ****loads of lucario because of this because he's almost the next best thing after marth. i'd just settle for eliminating the top tiers for this monthly only.

 

[Shaya]

hmm I wonder if it's possible for me to come down to Melbourne this Sunday to win your tournament with Marth <3.

Without Jei being there I doubt the world could withstand my power.

 

[bylim5]

95% of my losses are a result of playing marths in ranbats. its gonna be an interesting weekend, yes indeedy.

and please let there be a rule against Marth's infinate grab to protect my Ness or lucas. people always infinate grab me when they're panicking. I just want to end their misery quickly and destroy them.

 

[Shaya]

Why ban it?

QLD banned it in a scrub-like fashion.

Doesn't change the fact that you can just grab them keep pummeling until they're release and tipper dsmash them, which will kill them at around the 90% mark.

 

[Devil.]

I say bring on the Marths, this sounds like fun!

 

[Cronos_Rainbow]

Forget what KO said about 300%....that stuffs whack. Three grabs in a match and you're game over. See my last post for your answer though
Yeah Brawls a PoC game that needed more time in the works....mean we need to impose all kinds of ifs and buts....so much for Nintendos "anyone can win" approach...at least Melee noobs could frantically DI and CC > c-stick smash.

 

[Dekar289]

i support banning g and w

 

[_X_]

Also want to mention that Shadow Moses will face the same fate as those characters mentioned earlier for this month.

Shadow Moses is one of the most used counter pick stages, why ban it? It'll just ruin what you're trying to achieve, won't it?

 

[Dekar289]

x, are you coming tomorrow? byo alcohol =/ <3

shaz is trying to have people use characters that aren't used often, so banning a popular cp like moses goes along the same lines. by having all the cps as neutrals we're already expanding our stages, but if you're argument to shadow moses being banned would be to ban all neutrals, well this is a competitive smash scene, so the neutrals will never go.
btw shadow moses broken amirite

 

[Devil.]

i support Dekar

 

[Dekar289]

i merely preach the word of forte

 

[Mr. Phantasmo]

Yay, I'll be using Link, Lucario and ZS Samus. Awsome times ahead, Falco can watch from the sidelines
