Oh, I'm still waiting on the Vudu/Armak fight. And I think there's one more out there, too, with Smash_Brother.

EDIT: Shecky, you're up against Smash_Brother. Have fun!

vudu · « **Reply #151 on:** April 24, 2008, 08:25:10 PM »

Armak and I still need to hook up. He's busy having a life or something. I think Saturday is the day.

come back! I'm online now!!!

I played against S_B, good games. First match was close, but SB managed to stay alive close to 200% and that proved the key. Also, I always forget that Bowser's FS will cancel Pikachu's second quick dash... and thus SB got two quick kills on me the second match, giving him the 3-1 stock advantage. So I conceded the second match.

Result: 2-0 SB

I thought it was funny when King Bulbin plowed us both off the screen.

And for once the Kid Icarus level didn't royally screw me over but seemed to screw you over (I think you had two recovery deaths where the ledge to catch just wasn't there).

That was indeed comical

I also liked how I shrewdly avoided every single blast of your cracker launcher, only to get pegged squarely in the nose by the actual item when you tossed it afterwards.

I did indeed have two recovery SD on that level, and one recovery miracle (Headbutted underneath the platform and UP-B to the oposite side of the screen)

That whole match was not kind to me at all, but that's smash for you.

Too bad I wasn't in the tournament I would have PWND Smash and Shecky at ONCE.

Armak88 · « **Reply #157 on:** April 25, 2008, 02:16:44 PM »

I didn't end up fighting Vudu, but S_B and I had some good games. I like to try and go towards him when he breathes fire, you know, to see how much damage I can take

That level is just heinously designed, IMHO. If the edge pieces are destroyed, there's suddenly zero ledge catch, and they couldn't be arsed to ensure that the inner pieces allow you to catch on their edge if there's no piece adjacent to them.

It's little touches like that and the fact that a landmaster can fall through a tiny opening a fraction of its size that really show they spent too much time on the damn SSE and not enough time testing for bugs and imbalances, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiW90quHDqg&feature=related

And here's an interesting glitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7pnbF-LRAc&NR=1

Those were good matches, Armak, and I'm becoming savvy to your play style as a result (evidenced by my string of wins near the end of the night). I'd say your Diddy is the best I've seen to date.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #159 on:** April 25, 2008, 06:27:52 PM »

No, no, no, S_B. The Ice Climbers could always chain grab. They're built to have exceptionally poor grabbing range to make this more difficult, and characters each have different timing based on size and weight. Not to mention that even with a "glitch" like that, pros still consider the IC's to be "middle tier." That type of throwing is part of what helps compensate with the fact that they weigh about an ounce and have about three inches of attack range most of the time.

Kind of like how Bowser can jump forever over ground with the right attack. That's considered legal because he's not exactly the highest tier.

I still agree with you, though. For how few characters were added, I really think balance should have been better. So far, a good Olimar trumps everything any time.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #160 on:** April 25, 2008, 07:04:48 PM »

Then there's this...

From what I understand, there are 5 characters Dedede can do this to for infinite damage.

Armak88 · « **Reply #161 on:** April 26, 2008, 02:14:45 PM »

I guess I need to start playing levels other than final destination on a regular basis. You really had my number on shadow moses island, I just had no room to work with and no viable up smashes to finish you of with. Now if I could only get a hold of that Vudu guy...

vudu · « **Reply #162 on:** April 26, 2008, 05:20:54 PM »

Armak banana raped me to death. It was a painful as it sounds.

Armak88 · « **Reply #163 on:** April 26, 2008, 05:40:04 PM »

haha the random stages were not kind to you. First Bowser on 75ft then your Captain Falcon had an affinity for the spikes on the dk waterfall stage. bad luck.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #164 on:** April 27, 2008, 03:29:12 PM »

Alright, I suppose we're at the final round! Armak vs. Smash_Brother.

Now, I'd like to do something a little different. As you've probably noticed, everyone wants to see the replays, yadda yadda yadda.

What we're going to do is cut to two stock matches. Stages are still random, but there's a difference. I've seen some complaints here about stages, and it's true, not all stages work for all characters. You each may submit up to five stages you want off of the random list. Be sure to turn them off before you fight!

Remember, you can negotiate additional rule changes if you would like to.

Additionally, since we're switching to two-stockers, we're going to go with the best of nine, or the first to five wins. If the match is within the time constraints, save it and you can share to those leeches like Decoyman.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #165 on:** April 28, 2008, 01:04:55 PM »

Er, my random stage list has had stages turned off since the start (though, it hasn't picked the random stage I picked for most of my matches anyway).

that Baby guy · « **Reply #166 on:** April 28, 2008, 01:30:46 PM »

Oh. CHEATER!

Seriously, I don' think it's much of a problem, now you are no longer breaking the rules, though. If there are any objections, let me know, though.

EasyCure · « **Reply #167 on:** April 28, 2008, 02:25:38 PM »

I'm rooting for S_B only cuz Armak also banana raped me to death (I feel your pain Vudu, i really do..do). Besides, i got a few wins, out of tourney, on S_B whereas Armak raped me constantly so i'll hate him forever for that.

vudu · « **Reply #168 on:** April 28, 2008, 03:36:09 PM »

Seriously, I've never see anyone play as Diddy like that. I always thought his down B was completely worthless.

Armak88 · « **Reply #169 on:** April 28, 2008, 04:53:19 PM »

so much hate. I leave for 2 days to write my exams and everybody turns on me haha. I'll have to think about which stages I don't want in, I think anything that scrolls should be tossed, and the melee stages really are cramped...

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #170 on:** April 28, 2008, 05:06:06 PM »

I don't think they're serious.

And if we want to just play battlefield, I'd be fine with that.

I admit I'm gawking at 9 rounds, though. I don't know when I'm going to have the time to sit down for that long...

Armak88 · « **Reply #171 on:** April 28, 2008, 05:14:34 PM »

It's ok I can end it for you in five

I'm all about final destination, but I think it might ruin the anti-tourny*** nature of the tournament, I mean, why don't we turn off items while we're at it? It's just for fun so it doesn't really matter to me. Whatever people decide is what I'll do, but I'm taking my bananas with me because watching people trip is just funny.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #172 on:** April 28, 2008, 05:18:17 PM »

My imaginary intertube dollars are on Armak88 in seven rounds.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #173 on:** April 28, 2008, 05:22:12 PM »

How the lag these days? It's been weeks since I tried to play online.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #174 on:** April 28, 2008, 06:08:05 PM »

I've got to fight you, too, sometime, Armak. Apparently, you have fury as a monkey.
