The big controller was a god send for me during my melee days. I'm fairly flexible when changing controllers, but the way I worn down the analog stick grip made it better than any other controller (no slip lol). When I started playing brawl, I had moved to the Classic Controller, but realized that the Wiimote would drop its connection randomly, causing me to miss opportunities or get hit when I'm shielding (extremely frustrating). I decided to go back to the official controller and tough it out. Thankfully, with Brawl's custom design, I could make a setup that didn't force me outside of my comfort in holding the controller or pushing buttons.

Heck, I've been through so many controllers of different sizes thanks to Halo. I went from the official (S version) original xbox controller, then to a gamestop version (the small versions), then to the original xbox version http://www.blitterandtwisted.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/xbox-large-controller.jpg

That's not including my trip through GC controllers.

 

[Shiri]

Man.

That pad from XBox. Used to play co-op Library 25/8 on that mess ALL DAILY.

Like a darn steering wheel, that thing. Ever in the room when someone raged at Halo when those things were used?

Had to play in padded rooms sometimes, LOL.

Speaking of controllers, does anyone know if this controller is any good? I don't need one at the moment, but I've always wondered this since I saw it.

Oh and I have 3 tournaments coming up in the next 2 months, 2 of which might have Brawl. I wouldn't mind a tournament thread remake.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Wireless tends to be kinda bad to use cause of possibly hitting home button and ruining a match. I'd suggest just searching for classic Gamecube controllers instead of getting a wireless one.

 

[CourageHound]

I cant contribute much to the controller topic since well, I use wii-chuck. However, the GC controller that I own feel too...idk bulky I guess and to in-flexible. But when i was going to a friends house and used his ps3, that controller felt right at home. Do they have GC controllers sorta like that?

That controller is doo doo. Not worth the money. (I have one too)

What kind are you looking for? The gamestop versions or official version? A controller similar to the PS3 is the Classic Controller Pro, but that's wireless (has to connect to wiimote).

This is the controller I have <(Controller)>
Ehh, I'm just looking for anything do-able and comfy. The only kind of console controller i'm fluidly used to using is the XBox 360 controller, ssooo, something like that if its available

 

[Scatz]

Yea... Only controller that's close enough to feel like a PS3 is the CCPro. You're not going to find any real variants that are identical to the 360. Most mocks are either bigger or smaller (gamestop). Outside of that, you'll have to go to CCPro to get a different feel.

 

[CourageHound]

Ahh, thanks dude. I'll take a look at it

 

[The one and only]

I see, well you should go back to the Game Stop one. That's just my opinion. Yeah, I've also suffered going though (a lot) of controllers. I hope Game Stop never stops making these controllers. I'm a fan<3 Well, nice talking to you Be blessed all~

 

[CourageHound]

Hey guys, I entered my first tournament today....sort of. It was a small doubles tourney/smash fest hosted at an arcade.

 

[Nikes]

Cool, how'd you go?

 

[CourageHound]

Ya mean howd I "do"? xD Well I wish it couldve gone better. Since i use wii-chuck controls and not GCC normaly(since they only had GCC there) my gameplay pretty much sucked since i was unfamiliar with the controls. I was able to adjust a little after some practice but it was stilll only decent. So, in turn I'm sad to say the only character that could give my team any decent chance of winning, since my partner isnt very experienced, was Meta Knight(sinced I SD'd with Yoshi too much). :/

Well, as I said it was a doubles tourney. My friend and I were practicing and these two guys who were also entering the tourney came over to practice with us. They used GaW and Lucas. Yea, they beat us pretty badly over the matches we had. More so the GaW gave us trouble. Well ironicly enough when tournament start our first round was us verses them... xD. We lost the first round pretty soundly. Second match we got our act together but it still wasnt enough and we lost 2-0. It was fun tho, and i'm glad I finally got to have a serious doubles match. Haha, next time i'll bring my own controller

TL:DR - We sucked cuz I was unfamiliar with GC controlls

 

[Crooked Crow]

I've met only ONE person in my entire life who did good at his first tournament, he came 4th/40 or something.

Gotta start somewhere. I have no idea why I'm posting here again... I guess the nostalgia.

 

[Sunnysunny]

General rule of tournaments: Unless you're pioneering the game, ya ain't gonna make it to 4th place and above.

Even the great SUNNYSUNNY did bad in his first tournament.
.....and his 2nd.
.....and his 3rd.

BUT THEN THE 4TH HAPPENS AND YOU ROCK!

Ahh, just set little goals for yourself after each tournament like, "This time i'm gonna get past the 3rd round" and progressivly make them larger like "this time I'll place atleast 7th."

Gotta start somewhere. I have no idea why I'm posting here again... I guess the nostalgia.

It's cuz ya love us~ <3

 

[RaptorTEC]

I've never reached my goal of winning a real NY/NJ tourney and I don't think I ever will. ):

 

[CourageHound]

You'll get there someday

Hows the competition in your area?

 

[Sunnysunny]

Welllll it's NY/NJ
As yoshi. =X
So it's all good rappy. <3


Guess it's easy to say "Place this much higher" when your state has MK banned and isn't super duper stacked.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I just want to leave an Imprint on the Yoshi community.
Being around since 08 doesn't really count in my book.

Also, guys... tournament results thread. Nobody answered to that post last page.

 

[Sunnysunny]

In my book, ya already have made an imprint slush.
In the yoshi community.
and my heart! <3

Mm, I saw that post.
Juuust didn't think of anyways to clean it up honestly.

Nothings wrong with the format, it's just a thread like that is naturally bound to get a lil dirty n cluttered after a couple of years.

 

[The one and only]

Hi everyone! How was your guys weekend?

 

[Nikes]

It's Friday in Aussie o.o lawl
Anyway, had a tournament and did well overall (came 3rd, will post in results thread when I get hold of bracket image), despite SDing a silly amount of times in my sets. Got another tournament this Sunday so yay! Not much else's been happening though.
How about you guys?

 

[CourageHound]

Its Thursday over here, but my week has been nice.

Tbh its not too uncommon for me to SD as well. Although i'm trying to get better at not suiciding, lol. Part of it is properly managing my double jump, but its mostly failed techs into egg roll = death. :/ yea i'm getting better tho.

How is it over there in Australia btw?

 

[The one and only]

You guys make It so hard! Haha, all good. Nice Nikes! Um, pratice your Breversals If that hepls? Um, If your at low percentage don't air dodge when you come back to the stage. Just take the hit, and exchange damage. That's all you can do actually. Or, you could be gusty, and do a Breversal to get back on the ledge.


This might be handy In the near future. When you down throw someone with Yoshi. They will always air dodge, or sometimes attack. Doesn't matter. Do a Egg Roll, and even If they hit you. You won't take damage. You can abuse this when you do a down throw grab. Use to always work for me when I would play those lighty floaty characters. Like Samus.

Why do you guys never use Yoshi's foward tilt:/ It's really good for combo starters. Foward tilt to Yoshi bomb, then Egg Roll to get away from them, and continue your camp. You guys need to win Apex Now! Want another one?

Yoshi's back air to a double jump up air, then do a Yoshi bomb. Even If they jump or dodge. Yoshi bomb will hit them, and keep them In the air to continue your juggling, or whatever you want to do. If They dodge though, then they must sheild, or step dodge, but I'm certain they won't see It coming. Isn't It time you guys step your game up:/...?

 

[CourageHound]

Mhm, I've gotten better at my B reversals recently as well as DJC reversal egg lays. They've helped immensely. I've been able to nail double(and somtimes triple) egg lays as well.

Funny you should mention Samus, cuz I find her extreemly hard to get in on. I find it extreemly difficult to swat away her missles with bair as well as avoid the zair. Once I do manage to get inside, my plan of attack apears to have to be flawless or Samus just resets the situation. I find it alot easier when she is airbor; in our element.

[RaptorTEC]

Elaborate troll.

 

[CourageHound]

No offense but i'm certain those strategies don't work...

 

[Sinister Slush]

They don't.
Might as well say being the best on wifi doesn't really prove much.

 

[The one and only]

Don't start with me about that rubbish... as always your knowledge of thinking Is so superior that It's getting you 1st place, and respect of your character of choice. Right? You seem to know how to approach players without chocking. HA! You're really good In making statements aren't you? I got news for you. You don't. I may not have what you have, and that's going to tourneys and such (resulting In me having family crisis). What I will tell you Is I make statements. I truly don't believe anyone would work this hard like me to get revenge from the bull you guys put me though In AllIsBrawl. For four years, I've made statements loud, and clear. A troll? I don't think a troll would get recognition like I did. Yeah, looks like I'm famous then huh? I already got my own name on YouTube searches, and It's from all parts of You tube. People agreeing In a lot of things I say on You tube. get a lot of likes. Don't believe me? Look up videos and you'll see me as top likes. Cause, I understand what people say, and yes, I'm going to use life as my primary example. I work my butt of to achieve what I want. I'm not going to whine. I'm always going to find better ways on how to use Yoshi's moves, and techniques better, and more efficient. You keep whining about unecessary bull.

I'm going to continue to do my own work , and someday. You will see me at a tourney. Not now, maybe when the new Smash comes out. Who knows, what I will tell you Is that It will happen, and this nonsense of whining about me playing WiFi will finally end. Heck, I have people asking me to watch this and that, and comment on there You Tube videos. I don't even have videos, and I have 42 subs. Without doing nothing. That means, not talking to anyone or visiting anyone. Just complete nothing. You be the judge on that.

Now, you go ahead, and keep ranting about nonsense. You keep thinking I just wanted attention. You keep thinking that I'm a troll. You keep thinking that I hate you guys for no reason. You keep thinking that I wanted all this to happen. You don't think I enjoyed you guys In the First week of Aib? Or, getting to know some people... Now, you're a-holes that think I did all this just for attention.

The pictures will describe It all. You guys are not worth anything. "What do you mean GYK?" What I mean Is I enjoyed you guys In the beginning, but In the end I didn't.

Then the end comes....

Why? Was It really necessary to call me a troll? What was the point? Did you really think I wasn't going to strike back In a barbaric way?

YEAH, YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN'T STRIKE BACK. YOU THOUGHT I'M A GUY THAT GETS PUSHED AROUND BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

Don't bother thinking I'm going to respond back. I'm not, I have better things to do; Like fixing my family's life. Good day~

 

[Crooked Crow]

"Boy, that sure is a lot of effort to prove to someone I don't care! That'll show them."

 

[Sinister Slush]

I don't need to write long paragraphs.
Being a tiny bit more louder than the average Youtuber on Youtube doesn't make you popular. Nor does being popular for random Youtubers.
And yes, our thinking is superior! Or at least more accurate, want to know why?
Cause we're veterans that've been playing casually and going to tournaments to learn more from our mistakes, taking part in Matchup discussions on Smashboards for the past 2-5 years (depending on the person/Yoshi), and actually going against people in person and playing pros outside of some wifi nobodies that have no imprint on the offline scene? It may not get us First place cause of characters like MK and Top Tiers existing, but it certainly isn't getting us last place either.

Your statements tend to be 90% wrong anyways GYK. F-tilt to Yoshi Bomb? Bair to U-air and Yoshi bomb IN the air? This may work sometimes on wifi, but it certainly won't work where reaction time and people can actually DI offline.

And who's we on AiB? Raptor is probably our only Smashboards Yoshi that wastes time on crappy Free-fi.

 

[RaptorTEC]

Not a waste at all, it's helped me a lot to learn certain mu's. MX also still plays wifi and has learned a lot through it. Anyways, stop replying Slush I think it's been made pretty obvious that GYK is a very elaborate troll.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Aren't you the one that replied first with Elaborate Troll?

 

[RaptorTEC]

Yeah, I didn't reply to his response though. I'm just saying I used to think he was serious about everything he said but the more I read his posts the more I think he's saying things just to get people worked up. So yeah ignore.

 

[CourageHound]

Uhh I also play on wifi. Cuz its my only means of practice with good players. I've gotten progressively better and better by practicing on wifi. Don't know how that translates to offline performance.

 

[Sinister Slush]

He's 100% serious and don't try to act like the good guy when you pestered him all these months. (like the GYK video that's either private or deleted now)
Also, I'm sure the reason he made his post in the first place was the troll comment anyways, response by clicking reply or not. It was still directed towards him... so in a way it was responding to him Raptor.

Uhh I also play on wifi. Cuz its my only means of practice with good players. I've gotten progressively better and better by practicing on wifi. Don't know how that translates to offline performance.

Cause you're getting use to the timing on lag/wifi. It's not all that well when you compare it to offline unless you force your opponent in tournament to play on a laggy TV if there is any. (which I doubt your opponent wants to do unless they're 100% certain they can beat you either way)

If I can in the future I'll record some vids of my best performances on wifi then some offline and compare. Maybe get them critiqued on the video thread. But usually there's next to no lag when I'm on wifi since I have good connection. Gotta start from somewhere.

 

[Scatz]

The main thing that separates online from offline: Reaction

 

[CourageHound]

xD Yea thats something I dont get from wifi very much. Need to work on my reaction time and responsiveness.

On a different note; Any of you guys remember what the old SWF looked like? I can kinda remember the layout sorta. And I can say its starting to make progress with the new site as well. Just this or last week, the avatar and icons below were fixed. Along with other things.
