Edit: I just re-watched that Samus Highjump vid. The guy says there's no lag, but upon closer inspection, you can still see Samus going thru the landing animation everytime she hits the ground.

yeah the animation can be cancelled though

philip comin in with the jokes owww wassup

oww sup andy haha. i'm alright, still haven't played smash since we did, etc. how you doing, still improving? i thought you had a pretty tight game last time...

dang, i still remember that match on stadium where you had me down to one stock and you had three, and i went mindgame beast mode and came back and won... AND IT DIDN'T GET RECORDED OH GAWWWWD WHAT AM I DOING IN LIFE

sorry, conflicting emotions of "andy played better than me in almost every match
i wish i played smash more
why am i still talking about a videogame i don't even own anymore..."

oh right, those clips still on my computer... (delete, y/n?)

you never uploaded those matches, btw. were they that bad? i mean really, i just wanted to see more of myself on youtube. and you too, i mean. wa represent! and all that.

=D

 

[bubbaking]

You don't own the game? Man, you should get it; it's still being sold at Gamestop. It's still pretty expensive for a GCN game, though......$12. O_o

 

[ThePrime]

Yo philip I lost my capture card! We had some pretty stylin clips and some of the matches weren't bad at all but unfortunately my card was lost while I was moving out

[-Philip Coast Philip-]

"i'll find the tapes...

lol. but yeah that'd be great. or you could just wait until i'm in seattle next (no idea when that will happen). pm coming anyway.

 

[bubbaking]

Hey, what do you guys use to record your matches?

 

[Geist]

Dazzles and gamebridges are the most common method I see, but some people are ghetto as **** and use vcrs to record tapes

Traditionally I've used VHS --> Dazzle. It worked.
But I got an S-video cable for my Wii, and I just went Wii --> Dazzle.

(if i had a sups-cool laptop, probably never would have gone tape)

lol. bra i sold all my games. nothin left.

 

[bubbaking]

So as long as you have an S-video cable, you can use the Dazzle?

 

[-Philip Coast Philip-]

So as long as you have an S-video cable, you can use the Dazzle?

oh, no, just... i never had a cool laptop or anything, so before, the best way was to use vhs tapes, because they were portable. but, after i got an s-video cable, i decided, well, let's just hook up the tv right next to the computer, because now i can get better video quality. er and i think the main reason was because the clips i was recording were at other people's houses, and i didn't want to set up recording over there.. i guess. it was never really thought out.
i also used a digital camera at one point too, that was interesting, just recording the tv.

 

[bubbaking]

Lolz, I will see if I can acquire this "Dazzle" thing. Thanks a lot for the info! :D

 

[-Philip Coast Philip-]

lol well, if you're wanting to find a way to record stuff... yeah, the dazzle dvc100 or 101 or whatever will be your cheapest bet and will work fine. i find it's easier to use a program like virtualdub (which can be complicated-ish, but it doesn't have to be) to record and compress your video, or at least to record. if anything, you can always use windows movie maker to compress your vids.

but if you're wanting to record for something other than smash in the future, i'd suggest doing a little homework and getting a better product that will benefit you further down the road. just saying.

but my dazzle has worked well for me, for recording a few matches at a time.

 

[MonkUnit]

You could also use the Pinnacle Video Transfer to record things without having to have it hooked to a computer. Although it takes a long time to encode if you record for 3+ hours straight.

You seem to have discovered a new two letter curse word there

 

[bubbaking]

Thanks a lot guys! You've all been a great help. I'm probably gonna go w/ the cheaper bet cuz I think Melee (and possibly Brawl) is the only game I'll be serious about enough to get stuff recorded......unless Naruto Clash of Ninja: Revolution becomes competitive.

 

[Corigames]

They've played that at tournaments.

[bubbaking]

Seriously? Where?!? :O

 

[Corigames]

Just on the side at tournments. It happened a few times out here, I don't think I saw it while on the East Coast.

 

[bubbaking]

Dang, I love that game! A lot of people I know say that game sucks as a fighting game, but I think it has a lot of features that other fighting games, especially 2D, have.

[bubbaking]

Maybe that Ganon just didn't know how to fight Samuses? Anyway, Plup, what's ur advice on fighting Ganons, since we're on the subject.

 

[Pluplue]

Linguini is really good bro, I think he knows how to fight sami.
Ganon is a really simple match-up (IMO). My main strat is to force him to approach with spaced missiles, then punish him when he throws out an attack. I honestly don't know what Ganondorf can do vs a camping Samus. Match-up chart needs to be edited.

 

[Pi]

^basically that...
guini is really good, one of if not the best ganon out there
but it's still just ganon, he's big and slow and gets edgeguarded to hell

 

[ThePrime]

plup you look so cute when you wiggle left/right between your bomb jumps lol

 

[Pluplue]

pff its not cute its NECESSARY DAMMIT

 

[ThePrime]

but seriously your recent set vs colbol was awesome, you two are def the people to watch for high level fox samus good stuff.

Can't wait to meet some of you east coast guys at apex!

 

[-Philip Coast Philip-]

plup is the lovechild of so many good things why do you play samus jc

It seemed like he let himself get frustrated which caused him to get hit by a lot of unneccessary missiles. I'm not sure if I approve of him taking you to Stadium after getting missile camped the first game or two though. What was your ban? Yoshi's?

Also haven't you beaten him before with less missiles in tourney?

Good stuff though Plup.

 

[Pi]

^he def got frustrated, talked to him after the set
he may be going shiek next time
and afaik i don't think plup has taken a set from guini w/o camping
though he has taken games

camping ganon sounds and looks pretty solid as a strat
if you see any ways around it feel free to call em out though so we can find work arounds to that lol

and yea i asked plup wtf about guini CPing stadium, i think his response was 'yea i don't know what he was thinking either lol'

ganon's only saving grace may lie in upair or nair, because his fair is too slow, and the missiles kinda prevent him from spacing bairs effectively

 

[Smashjin]

It might have been a set with RockCrock I was thinking of? I'm not sure.

I don't think Ganon vs. Samus is THAT bad, but getting through missile spam is probably super annoying.

If Ganon plays patiently he can probably u-air and use platforms to get through/around missiles close enough to keep Samus scared of shooting missiles or punish her for them. Ganon can kill Samus fairly well since he's strong, and his u-air should do pretty well against her if he can get below her. Edge-guarding shouldn't be too bad with reverse u-airs and just simple stuff if she up-b's.

I'd have to think for a few about what I'd put for the matchup ratio though.

I'm surprised guini didn't go to FoD (assuming Yoshi's was banned) or back to Battlefield.
