Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Gen. Discussion & Info

I don't know blue............but thanks for the compliment. I guess I'm just reading your attacks better lately and playing SLIGHTLY more defensive.

What I found was effective against you was making you toss a whole bunch of pikmin at me, then rushing you (since you're left with less pikmin to protect you its easier for me to get a hit in)

I'll be on tm b/t 10AM-11AM PST and in the evening as well if anyone wants to 1v1.

Edit: You also SD a ton of times, which is kinda weird since thats usually me thats doing that. Cept in the last match.

I need someone to fight me 1vs1. Nevermind, I need to take a breather.

Thanks for GG ZNX, Janet, Joe, Marc. Marc was crazy good tonight with Ike.
I'm totally bad tonight.

Thanks for the games Hero, dyeknom, evergoo, and JoeB. I know I'm still rusty, but I really should've left after Frigate Orpheon killed me. =P

That's what I do too sometimes, let blue throw pikmins at me and then dash attack him.

Edit: Now that I think of it, not sure if that's worth it.

Uh oh.

Marc, were the final smashes a bit excessive, or was that just me? It seemed that we got at least four or five per match. I don't know that I like that.

Oh, and you know how the other day we were saying that R.O.B.'s final smash was underpowered? Yeah. Nevermind. :)

lol we had one round that all but 1 kill were smash ball. fun though, but with that many.... almost need four people to make it work best.
 
Good games zitanix and evergoo. That was my first time playing in over a month, but I felt pretty good. Little rusty at times, but I think I played well. Those final smashes are gonna make the Smash Season interesting, to say the least. :lol:

That's what I've been complaining for awhile now in those PMs!

Since battles are so long it seems that most, if not all kills, come down to Final Smashes.

So should we get rid of it? What does CAG think?

EDIT: It was underpowered b/c I didn't have an optimal strategy at the time but after a few solo training sessions, I figured out R.O.B.'s true potential.
EDIT 2: What is overpowered, though, are the space furries. If you can't kill with a Landmaster, then you should be banned from playing them.

It wasn't even just Olimar though, my young link too. I should've had you that last game. Maybe its just me, bu it just seems that Lucario's attacks have a high priority over a lot of other character's attacks.

Sorry, I'm not a sore loser, I'm just a sore "get my ass kicked" person. ;)

Good games to Jack earlier as well. Guess tonight isn't my night. I need some more matches to make me feel better, so I'm on again if anyone is interested. Actually, I feel like I need some more 1 on 1 games since my playing feels like crap tonight. Anyone interested?

I was thinking of this for a while. I keep missing those final smash. Do really have to leave FS on? If we lose due to the FS, is that really skills that we lost on or mainly luck. I'm still pondering. :roll:

[/quote]You just made a couple of bad mistakes, I shouldn't have had that much of a problem against young link, but we all have bad days. Lucario has a disjointed hitbox similar to the sword characters, except his range is much shorter (the attacks hit where the aura is, making it difficult for his attacks to be countered) thats about all I can tell you w/o giving away my secrets ;)

I'm just hoping today was just a shitty day because I can't play worth crap today. I know I made quite a few mistakes, and that was probably due to my increased irritation as time went on, I don't keep my cool very well if I don't manage to handle my own after a while. I'm getting my ass handed to me by everyone which I'm not used to. :(

Naw I think you are just having a bad day, gaming fatigue. I had that feeling a few days ago.

You were shafted on the jungle japes level and the first one when Wario jumped on your head (I was just trying to recover too) so you couldn't recover.

Actually the footstool death was pretty hilarious. I don't have that happen very often. I kinda suspected Jungle Japes would not go over well, considering its a bad level for Olimar.

Shadow Moses was a bad level for Meta Knight the only way I was able to get kills was by juggling to the top of the screen. Nice playing with you again Blue.

That's kind of a bad level for anyone without a good up-smash without the walls down. I actually don't care for it too much due to that, but it's still on my random list since its interesting enough.
 
Good games Buck. You're pretty clever in mind games :lol:.

Anyways, thnx for training my Snake. I'm sure he was a pain in the ass.
 
you play Snaaake vadernooo.

Evergoo, can you put me up for the night if I drop in on your town?

Same question for Mad D and Mr Beef somewhere in California.

A general reminder for anyone that didnt see it the first time: My Penny Arcade Expo/Smash tour:

(Vegas is actually included I just didnt draw it right)

I'm looking for anyone that could put me up for the night along the way. Massive thrashings will ensue. I also intend to pick up Soul Calibur 4 casually. I'll probably make some sort of grand blog post regarding the trip here in a bit, after I hammer out more details. Current CAGs on the bandwagon are JoeB and AmigoOne.

Really, I thought we were focusing more on entertainment than competitive factor... as in keeping the competitiveness in check. FS are a good way of doing it.. as it prevents people from getting too serious.
 
Then again, even if the FS is a way to build the entertainment and imagine the looks on people's faces, I don't really think that it would be fair. Even though I get PWND in about every game, its easier when I'm not worrying about who's gonna get the FS. But then again that could be exactly what dyeknom was saying, and I'm being too serious. I'm not sure >_

You're just saying that b/c G&W's FS is broken as hell.

I'm up for game - even if I have to travel a bit - but I don't think my gf will be partial to strangers spending the night. Besides, I live in a very tiny apt.

Maybe Mad D, Mr. Beef, you, and I can all get together for some friendlies.

EDIT: Check out these funny Smash-themed cosplay photos. I found them on GoNintendo.

I'm available right now.

I need someone to test out my new Diddy.

EDIT: The elusive FallMoon is online. Let's play...pretty please?

I'll play for a bit.
 
[quote name='evergoo']GGs dyeknom. Where's your G&W? And how's my Diddy?[/QUOTE]

im game and watch'd out. I played him and only him for about an 2 hours last night. Diddy's not bad, the bananas get annoying when youre melee only though... which is why i was surprised bowser won. I think Ive played way too much LAN though, makes me unaccustomed to some of the online queue

ill be back online in a bit... gotta work on a pc.

jack, ill hadd you when i log back in.

Janet, I should be home in about 20 minutes or so if you want to give it a go then.
 
I wonder when I should play brawl. Hmmmm....

I'm on brawl. Who wants to fight? I going to add buttle to my Friend list.

Good games Mad D, Daisy and Lurk.

Either everyone has gotten better 10 fold since I've played them last or I'm in a really bad slump. Good games to all!
 
I can't use Kirby anymore :whistle2:\ Everytime I mess around I do better than when I switch to my main character (not really much of a main character then huh :lol: I kept up +b'ing death). Good games everyone, sorry Hero I left , I was playing a while with others before you came. I might be on later.

Crap, does this mean that blue could only beat me now? I thought I was good too. At least, better...I have to fight blue to test this out.

I'm going to try some joeB shadow training. So I'm going to use all the character joe uses. Also, I'm going to try to imagine what JoeB thinks when he is brawling. This is going to be hard.

LMAO. This is impossible.

I tried once to play D3 seriously but got my butt constantly beat in ditto matches. There's really no point in trying to out D3 him unless you want to humor him. He's mastered the chain grab and has a ridiculously aggressive edgeguarding game.

I do, however, play against D3 in my training sessions to simulate the waddle army but it's obviously not the same. I also train against cpu speed demons like Pikachu, Sonic, Meta Knight, and Falco.

Time to test out the bots.... Suko, using Ness for now... Is CPU level 7 good enough?
I wanna think like Joeb but I keep thinking like Hero. Crap.
I think I have like 5% of joeb mindset right now. hmmm...I don't have the speed or the accuracy.
