I guess you missed it ( cause it's changed back to normal since I was last there) but deviant arts joke was to make everyones user icon an animated "So I heard You Like Mudkip" one.

Tripping is random, it's not caused by doing anything specific. I can run back and forth pretty quickly (even just stay in one little space) and have never tripped doing it although it's possible since tripping is RANDOM, but doing it specifically does not trigger a trip. The only times I've tripped is while moving slowly (walking around), turning in place, walking from a stop. Maybe I've tripped while more active, but have never noticed, I've seen others trip though while being more active.

Only not since tripping is random and has nothing to do with how much of a "spazz" you may or may not be. Funny part is I almost always end up tripping when being at my least spastic, it's like "oh hey let me walk over-woops I tripped!"

Oh yeah, it can't possibly be because they actually enjoyed playing the game. (I've never played it myself so I can't really pass judgment on it one way or the other).

I haven't played many bonus matches, but they're pretty fun, kind of sad that they're gone.

What sort of fencing does it have? Or is it just "fencing" with no distinction between weapons? (Sorry, I love fencing, and now I'm curious how that works in the game, and if it is just generic foil fencing or if it does epee and saber too). If I wasn't saving for other stuff, I'd just grab it for my ds... Um, but in regards to the OP, people are generally not too bright, as you're probably finding out with your lovely stays at the blockbuster. Can't really blame someone for grabbing non-well known games though, even if it's in ignorance...they might stumble across something pretty good after all.

I hope you guys get some good recordings of all the action, good luck to everyone that gets to participate!

Wow that's pretty silly. And boring after a while.

Oh do you have one of those evil scanners that won't let you set exceptions, and will automatically nuke stuff without asking? My dads computer has something like that... Try another program to get into IRC I guess...

If it takes a while to connect stop it and try to connect again (don't wait for it to stop on it's own), sometimes I couldn't get logged onto the server and that seemed to help for the second try.

Yeah if you keep playing against them and getting whipped you'll eventually get whipped a little less worse as time goes by, and maybe eventually equal them. This is how I was in Melee, and brawl when some of the better people decide to play. Don't get discouraged, you'll get better and not even realize it even though you've started winning more often than before.

Well at least my sleepyness have given some of you more bored people something to try out I guess.

I meant 4 man battles, sorry I just woke up >.<

I know one, he's one of two really great players that have caught my eye. He doesn't seem to have trouble controlling sonic, and is fairly good at wracking up damage quickly and landing that wind up punches on people. Keeping in mind this is 4 on 4 battles, they don't seem to like to do 1v1's unless they're playing "serious". Maybe I can convince them to set up a tournament or something...

Lucario is fun to play as though.

The tadpole things don't do seem to do damage, but the platforms are just kind of annoying, since they can be damaged but also act as platforms they tend to get in the way of attacks and stuff. (not to mention they move around) It's super duper extra cramped feeling and an awkward stage to play on.

I dunno, it's kind of fun to watch your opponent get bounced all over the place between the lion tamers....

Fighting Olimar makes me cry. The spear pillar is definitely a bit harrowing, I don't think I've gotten to play on new pork city. What really stinks is the DK level with the water fall, it's WORSE than the old ice climbers level IMO. The new ice climbers level seems really disorienting (to me anyway...)

The wiimote+nunchuck works surprisingly well, it takes a little getting used to...jumping is a little weird (easier to do by hitting up on the control stick than going for the control pad) and it's interesting getting used to B being a trigger, but I think it could work. The nunchuck seems a bit hard to keep a grip on, but that's probably just me. (So glad they got 4 game cube controls since that last time though...) I haven't tried with just the wiimote, and having seen the default control scheme, I really don't want to, it looks like a pain in the ass. The GC control seems preferable though, less of a learning curve for the gameplay when you already have some movements from the past installment learned.

Yeah, only the one guy there was actually good good with Sonic, because he's very intent on maining him and plays him almost exclusively. (This guy seems to be a pretty hardcore Sonic fan). The other two seemed ok with Sonic but still not really great, just better than with the other characters they had tried out.

Sonic seems to be really easy to be decent with, at least just looking at what few matches I did some of the worse people I played did a bit better when they tried out sonic. (Or maybe sonic just suits their play styles better I dunno...) He seems a bit easy to dodge though, even the guy survived the free for alls consistently over me was fairly easy to predict. I want to do some 1 on 1's with him with a normal remote so the stage hazards can't catch me so easily. I'm probably going to stick with Yoshi until I can get the system+game, I'd love to try out sonic/lucario/pit, but it's not very fun to try to grasp a new character when all the people that play do is 4 man free for alls.

What a lovely inflated ego you have. I dunno how good Atma is or isn't but I hope he sticks a pin in it just for that.

I don't mind them, granted I tend to ignore them (and the smash balls) if they pop up. I was only in one vs game that someone got all the dragoon parts, and they only managed to hit like one person on the screen with it. I've found that ignoring the smash ball a little at first is a good way to get it in a melee, mostly because at least one or two people will have killed themselves going after it. On the other hand I would hate to be in even a friendly 1v1 match with smash balls. I feel a little cheated when someone kills me twice during the duration of their final smash, even if I cheaply camp out on the drop platform hoping to avoid it entirely. I wish I owned the game, 4 man melee is ok, but I'd like to do some 1 on 1's and just play around in training mode to get used to the changes.

I've also realized I hate a lot of the new levels, they have a lot of interesting stuff in them, but it's not fun interesting like poke floats, or Safron City in the first smash bros, it's the omg this level irritates the hell out of me kind of interesting.

Well I found some people to play with at the neighboring dorm, and Yoshi seems pretty good. It was a little awkward cause I had to play with the wiimote+nunchuck, but I think it'll be an easy control combination if I have time to get used to it. And I beat everyone else down except the guy that owned the game, but he had a game cube control. The air dodge keeps throwing me off, mostly because I keep doing it on accident, and I can't figure out how to throw things either. (they haven't turned items off yet, and part of my game with items involves throwing them more than actually using them...) The pace doesn't seem slower than melee, but I haven't played melee in about 3 or 4 years so I guess I can't really tell. Maybe I can keep playing with these guys, and when I someday get a wii+the game I won't get owned as badly by you all.
