1805-2043-5497 Just TELL ME if you add me.

What's AiB? Also I'll play. Arek, it's okay. I'm certainly not in the mood right now to prove anything.

Any of them have AIM? I'd rather talk to them on AIM or something first.

I want to play someone new but every time I ask if anyone wants to play, nobody I've never played with before does (only the people who don't have a Wii are willing to play). COME ON FOLKS I'M NOT THAT MEAN.

I miss being able to land three knees before my opponent regains control of his/her character. Edit: Does ANYONE NEW want to play me? I'm going random characters and dicking around.

Nope. Not there. I probably should just not jump into this thread until I finish the game.

I don't even think it's about the metagame. Right now it's so imbalanced that tournaments are now escalating to just Metaknight vs. Metaknight at the end, because Metaknight currently has no counterpick characters other than another Metaknight. BORING. Yes this is what I'm saying. I like these options as another way. It doesn't have to be a standard or anything. Especially not for those who don't want it. I think the project to completely rebalance Brawl is pretty much a fool's errand. It's really unnecessary. I wouldn't protest if there was a lot more balance but really I think they should let it be. The game has a lot of options, with or without hacks, to adjust a very large majority as to how they want to play things. If they do somehow get it going, I will still check it out, but really it's too ambitious and almost a waste of time.

*deep, heavy exhale*

Brawl is clearly not balanced at all. Though I do not see the Melee mechanics slapped onto Brawl being universally accepted everywhere, I think having this option is great. I can play in both ways. I just think it's fun to see Melee mechanics on the new characters. What I DO like is that now all the really really clunky characters have a chance to keep up with lagless characters like Metaknight. Think of it this way. Even with these mechanics, all the auto cancel characters still get to auto cancel all their aerial moves but everyone else still needs to learn to cancel their moves? It's still not even fair but at least it's a step in the right direction for competitive play, because Brawl is seriously not anywhere closed to being balanced. This doesn't make it any less fun for people obviously, but you can't say it's anywhere close to perfect. As for questioning the usefulness of all this wavedash and L-cancel stuff? Different/less predictable approaches, less camping, more creative combo potential. Here are some vids. S-Cancel only http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRHA4aqVJ2Y Wavedash and S-Cancel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E80xM08TQM8 S-Cancel is the one being tested out right now. What it does is allows players to shield during any of the lag recovery frames after landing during aerial attacks. It removes all the lag once you shield so you can tap shield to cancel all the lag. There IS a real L-cancel hack being worked on where it mimics Melee exactly which cuts the lag in half. It's not perfect yet as the window of timing to L-cancel is nowhere near the ground thus feeling unnatural. I've tested both and it adds a bit of spice to the game, making it more chaotic. If the real L-cancel hack gets fixed to 100% then it'll be the best choice among the hacks. This S-cancel business with ZERO lag is a bit much.

L-Cancel hack made for Brawl. I tested it out tonight and it's legit. The window of timing needs to be a lot more closer to the ground than the hack currently has it set but this is pretty legit. Wow.

Eh, wavedashing is a useful tool and all but the majority of the tech-only players can't even use wavedashing and L-Cancel that well anyways. Wavedashing made so many people think they were good when all it did was make them easier to kill since wavedashing leaves you wide open. I remember this one guy talk trash to me at some scrub tournament I decided to crash for fun saying how good he was and then I just four stocked him in the finals lmao. Wavedash couldn't save him. If you learn wavedash, at least invest in some time to use it wisely.

This. Probably how I should have said it to begin with. I'm not exactly cheerful when I have to go to work at 6 AM while being sick. With that aside I think I should stop posting like I care about Brawl, because, for those that don't know, Jam and myself don't even like this game anymore on a competitive level. I think the only decent player here that still likes this game is Arek. I'm taking a FAT nap so I'm not nearly as cranky.

How did you miss the point of his post!? YOU MAKE ME WANT TO EAT MY HAT FOR ALL REASONS RAGE RELATED.

Oh. My. God. If anyone here can beat PC Chris, I will eat my hat.* *Meaning I won't be eating any hats anytime soon.

Exactly this. Salluz. There's a gigantic difference between other people putting you up and you putting yourself up... Also show me a bit of your Melee skills if you have any. Your test video put me to sleep. I miss Melee. I'm actually way better at Melee than I am at Brawl. Edit: lol Jam. Is that PC Chris beasting as usual? I never got my Link to be that fast.

Well I'm pretty sure I'd do better if I played Endless Attack more than ONCE. SORRY!

Oh yea thanks Geoffrey Taucer for keeping an eye out for that Somner book. I just put in an order for the book and the DVDs (since I already got rings). THAT should be an awesome read!

I just tried Endless Attack and only managed 164 screens. I'm debating whether or not I should attempt to get on the leaderboards.

I've been neglecting the thread, but haven't been neglecting my own workouts... that much. I've slowed down a bit due to family issues, work, and other things. I'm still working out, staying lean and strong, and building lots of muscular endurance. I'm still kickin'.

Yea I was thinking this exactly. I didn't see why you guys were flipping out about a lack of super hyper fighting and large energy blasts. With that said, what the HELL did they do with the original Dragonball?

So will Bleck be the new Balrog of the bunch with Arek and Jam still as Vega and Sagat? I don't think I care enough about Brawl to take part in any tournaments anymore. Hey Arek that was pretty good. I actually needed to use some of my better characters to win instead of just SONIC. Also I gotta stop trying to attack you while you just up tilt me. Luigi's up tilt's somehow eats through EVERYTHING.

I don't have beef with anybody. Your advice, though I see it was with good intentions, is really just the basics of Peach and nothing that would significantly help anybody to be any better than average. I'm still around but I'm basically done with all the "Yes I'm so good at this game" stuff, which is a lot of it.

Ganondorf is one of my low tier joke characters... ... ... that I win with. (Ganondorf can be really fun if you can get over his clunky feel). Also I don't know if Brawl videos do any real justice to how some of us play. Since Brawl is severely lacking in high technical skill, all videos can come off to mediocre. This does not apply to Melee because holy cow that game had way more technical depth than Brawl.

Okay I am pretty much done with this thread. If you want to play with me for kicks, feel free to PM me. I love dicking around and playing with new folks. Otherwise, if you want to show that you're some hot shot at this game you'll have to beat Atma, Arek, and Jam before talking to me. So far nobody has gotten passed those three and the skill gap between those three and me is pretty significant despite their skill. They can attest to that. I'll be pleased if anyone can beat them. Even moreso if you can beat me. Then I'll have a new friend to play with. <3 Jam play with me more. I gotta get you up to speed with the characters you use. And Salluz, your Peach advice pretty much amounted to "Here's how to play Peach for the very first time somewhat poorly."

Yea I rushed that post. But it was the first thing I thought of. And it definitely isn't a split personality of all things.
