Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

I wasn't able to get my passport renewed in time. Definitely would have gone. It sucks because I don't know when the next big tournament will be within driving distance for me. Oh well.

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

Yeah i am playing both p:m and melee but mostly going to help run pools and meet some pros. If i make it out of pools would be a miracle lol.

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

I recently picked up Ganon as a secondary to get a better grasp of Melee's normal physics/mechanics.

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

Pools have been announced for Big House 4. For Project:M my pool is stacked so there is no way I am getting out of it. Then for Melee I might have a chance because I recognize Moose and Trilok. But regardless if I make it or not, still going to be awesome.

My bud was moved to that pool after they messed up and put him and gravy and in pool together as they're currently roommates. He's seeded 2nd. Good luck!

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

The Big House 4 was honestly one of the best tournaments I've ever watched. Really wish I could have gone now. Probably the best top 8 I've ever seen.

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

So uhh, I've been watching a lot of competitions/tournaments lately (mainly Melee but occasionally brawl) and every video I've heard people talk about Mew2King like he's a god or something

Saw his comeback videos, thought we was great

then I watched most of the videos I could find on him. he's actually pretty bad against no-namers. aMSa came by as a newcomer and absolutely rekt M2K. Saw another video where M2K was so angry but he did it to himself like comeon. Don't get mad, it's a game.

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

m2k is legitimately one of the best lol what are you smoking

aMSa isn't a newcomer at all either, he's been around the smash scene for a long while.

that amsa/m2k match was hype as shit because amsa wrecked m2k; m2k is one of the best, and the reason for the hype was because m2k is one of the best, and got wrecked.

there's a reason he gets to like evo top 8 lol

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

I'm smoking dat good shit man

I know M2K is in god tier when it comes to the smash scene but lately all the videos I've seen is him getting stomped by someone I don't know

Personal fan of Armada though, and I like Mango now but I didn't like him in the beginning

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

m2k loses to pressure, and it's understandable. I lose to anxiety when performing a lot of the time

armada is a shit. USA USA USA MANG0000000

Ohmyfuckinggod. When I saw the matchup between Mango and Hungrybox, my jaw was on the floor the entire time. Felt bad that hungrybox had to use the same maneuver twice to make it even on Mango but still, that was very impressive.

I'm a Fox Main but I also Main Mr Game & Watch cause 9 op

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

I'm trying to get to get good since smash bros is out for the 3DS.

I'm soooooo bad, but at least I can air dodge pretty good.

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

The new smash on the 3DS runs and looks fine, but I still feel there is way less opportunities for competitive play. Moreso on that, I feel the pros won't be able to execute these half a second maneuvers on the 3DS.

Plus it's new territory for everyone. We all were accustomed to the GameCube controller (or N64/Wii if you rolled that way) so it'll be interesting to watch some people and what skill they'll transfer over.

Re: Competitive Smash Bros.

smash 4 looks like negative potential for competitive play.

shittons of landing lag upon using aerial moves means inherently slower gameplay.
Lack of actual moves that can combo also means slower gameplay, and more focus on camping and attempting to land lone hits.
moves being soley knockback based would lead to this as well.

fucked up edge guarding mechanics reduces edge guard opportunities.

certain characters are waaaaaaaaay more overpowered than others because of a stronger emphasis on zoning with projectiles. Most likely, i see characters like duck hunt dog being super strong because of keepaway with projectiles.

it's way closer to brawl than melee, simply put, and my guess is that it won't be viable for competitive play. that's not to say it shouldn't be given a chance, but it feels like it's going to fall down the path that brawl did.

also jigglypuff still sucks so this game sucks too
