AADL-GT Round 2: Asian Invasion Ascendent

by ejk

Round 2 of the AADL-GT 2008 Season saw a surge from the Asian Invasion clan behind strong showings from members Hot_ArmS, SwordSensei, and DingDong in the Smash Singles event, but The Whole Famn Damily clan stayed strong as well on Saturday with members Dale W and masteraj racing to the finals in Kart Singles. We also saw AADL represent nationally in online Smash Brothers play against teams from EVPL, PLCMC, and WBTPL. New clans Phoenix and The Vikings joined diametrically opposed clans A Solo Special Ops and We're Better Than Special Ops for a place in the clan battle, featuring a surprising ending in the mystery game. Read on for more details.

SmashKart Championship Series 5.2: Smash Singles
Smash Singles saw 60 competitors duke it out in 15 separate 4-player pools, with only 7 of those going a perfect 4-0 in their preliminary matches: SwordSensei, Hot_ArmS, Mojo, Johninabox, Pyromanic, Jacob K and Doomblaze. Our top 32 players moved on to head-to-head elimination matches which saw no major upsets in the first round. However, the round of 16 saw victory streaks end for Doomblaze, Mojo, Johninabox, and Pyromaniac. Of the top 8, Asian Invasion clan members Hot_ArmS, SwordSensei, and DingDong all advanced to the semifinals, joined by The Whole Famn Damily clan member Solon. Semi-final winners SwordSensei and Hot_ArmS met in the final match, with SwordSensei taking the top prize and giving his clan a commanding lead in the Clan standings for the day.

SmashKart Championship Series 5.2: Smash Teams
The Smash Team event brought 27 pairs of players together, including a special appearance from "retired" player lain paired with masteraj. The team of brothers, Lard-In-A-Box made it to the round of 8 before falling to team Asian Invasion, who was joined by fellow clan team Tiny Terrors, team Arjan and the noob and team Smash Bros. in the final four. Team Asian Invasion eventually won in the championship match against A Solo Special Ops clan Arjan and the noob.

SmashKart Championship Series 5.2: Kart Singles
Kart Singles saw the Asian Invasion's domination subside somewhat with 56 players grouped into 4-player, 4-race pools. Doomblaze, Dale W, Funzo, Tub O Lard, and aikem all went undefeated in pool play and moved with the top 32 players into 8 4-player elimination races. aikem, Funzo, and Tub O Lard all went from undefeated to out as the top 16 moved on to 2 networked 8-player races. Perennial favorites Johninabox and limabean won their respective races with the top 4 finishers in each moving to the final race, which saw repeat winner Dale W claim the top prize again, and taking more of Eli's money.

SmashKart Championship Series 5.2: Kart Teams
With time running down, an abbreviated Kart Team event took place with 21 teams registered facing off in 3 preliminary races. The top 3 in the first two 8-kart races and the top 2 in the last 5-kart race moved on to a all-or-nothing final 8-kart race. The brothers of Lard-In-A-Box would not be denied, and took the top prize as the regular events wound down for the day.

When the dust had settled, The final clan standings of the day looked like this:

Asian Invasion: 8255
The Whole Famn Damily: 6645
A Solo Special Ops: 6540
We're Better Than Special Ops: 6340
Phoenix: 4000
The Vikings: 2280
Wario Ware: 1460
Tires Don Exits: 1275

The top four clans faced off in the Clan Battle for bragging rights and additional prizes. Asian Invasion and The Whole Famn Damily held serve through the preliminary clan battles of Mario Kart and Smash Brothers. The final game of the day was revealed to be 1942: Joint Strike for PS3. Even though Asian Invasion was in 1st place and had the advantage of going second, Famn Damily scored more points, repeating as clan champions for the day.

Our next tournament is scheduled for Saturday, October 18 at the Downtown Library Multi-Purpose Room. Be there or be somewhere else that probably won't be as fun or have pizza for everybody.

I'd prefer not to add to this, but by my actions, I earned a million points for the Vaccinated Monks in Season Three. I've got a screenshot of the leaderboard somewhere...

[gtlogo:RED]

Jigglyuff isnt my main, shes my alt. I main peach. But jigglypuff is who i use against MK, because MK who have no skill but can do broke ass SNORK, well that broke ass SNORK dont work on jiggs, so they have to actually use skill, which I'm more than likely not gonna find in the GT :) (baring a certain few ppl that is)
A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere
[SNORKED by ejk]

yes..i'm 9th place overall..WOOT just as i predicted....literally. i was counting up the scores around me...lol.

NEW MAIN
ZELDA AND FOX

and...
i actually got top 4 in mario kart double dash for the first time in my LIFE....YEA

every tournament i face d-rex and in the pool with d-rex i always go to mushroomy kingdom.......wierd
next tournament special ops is going to prove better than special ops wrong >:)

p.s. we could've been ahead of better than special ops this tourny but, we were missing monkeyman
(but asian invasion always has 5 people and their first....lol)

i didn't see the roysters...i don't think they came

and

lain, are you coming to the next tournament because i want to do the melee tournament again

yea lain showed up... just in time to take my doubles partner..., though it was more of the rest of my former clans fault..., also sry ding but next tournament im making top 6 cause we finally have jiggs, the only char. i can use against top tier lol, ...tier whores...
Also erik i wasn't in kart teams for round 2 so how do i have points indicating that i was...
A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

tutu, for Kart Teams I have you registered as one of the members of the team Master Debators, partnered with masteraj.

If this is wrong, let me know and I'll get it updated with the correct info.

/*== [:/ejk|ejk] ==*/

lol, tutu made a difference in clans because if he had stayed famn damily would've been first and we would've proven better than special ops wrong but instead he switched....so close. we will get better than special ops next time >:)

p,s, why didn't stephen h qualify for championships he got 3rd place in teams for mario kart double dash....

uhh no, if tutu didnt switch clans the famn damilys score would still be the same cause masteraj's score would still be higher than tutu's putting tutu at #5 for the famn damily which doesnt count

Coolio, i have proved to everyone that i am the deciding factor between the best of solo special ops and btr than solo special ops
since with me on solo special ops, even without monkeyman, we did better than better than solo special ops.

I dont like snakes and metaknights... :'(

*coughstupidtoptiercough*

I AM GOSU I WILL PWN U I AM L33T!!! [gtlogo:BNC]

Yay double post!
the beginning pools for smash and kart are too easy...
which is why i got all firsts with no trouble

I AM GOSU I WILL PWN U I AM L33T!!! [gtlogo:BNC]

yea but you have to pay for that tournament to enter. i'm going to aadl next tournament =)

p.s. how do you do the snake dash thing with shiek...too hard

lol for one of the pools happy camper got 59 points instead of 60 lol

and

can we bring our own memory cards for mario kart because we had no characters unlocked and i was choosing last =(

In reply to by dingdong

i read on smashboards that skiek can infact boost smash, snakeslide,smashslide, w/e you call it. A cancled dash attack into a usmash

In reply to by dingdong

first off, we lost points because we lost doomblaze and u gained doomblaze.

2nd off my english class is sooooooooooooo boring, idk what to do.

3rd off, look at the leader board for this year, who is on the way to first place?????

ME!

JOHNINABOX FTW!!!

1) tutu, don't you have a controller change to make it easier? or is it the same?

2) i still cant do it with sheik but with everyone else almost perfect :)

3) john looks different without his hat..lol...i didn't notice that i see him basically every morning.....lol

4) and i think i'm going to go to the top..(last tournament 10th, this tournament 9th) lol
and that's kind of funny that arjan moved from better than special ops to special ops...lol
P.S. WHO IS GOING TO THE OTHER TOURNAMENT..I BET LAIN LOL...AADL IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i didn't change my control scheme for dash-canceling convenience... really its not all that amazing (or difficult) of a technique..., but it is easier if u have tap jump off, and "z" set to attack. The truth is i changed my control scheme because i can't short hop with x lol
A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

first comment after school

our history class is basically our english class because we always read on fridays...lol but i fell a sleep today while she was chicking what pages we read...there goes my 5 points. TT

p.s. we really need to shorten the tournament so we could have a better clan battle and more free time.

the main problem is that brawl simply is a slower paced game than melee was, and if we keep to the same scedule as we have in past seasons its just bound to take longer... Sry but i dont really have a solution for this problem yet, but it has been nagging me the past few days...

Also can we not start up that whole first comment after school thing again, its just gonna spam up the thread kthxbai

lol history (unless AP) is a complete joke, if u actually want to learn history, definitly take AP

A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

I have an idea for the schedule but i'm not sure about it...

but we can, not do pools and do elimination round with all the people in it and do best 2 out of 3

i think that might make it longer though

unless we put item set to high and do poke balls, trophies, smash balls, dragoon parts, smart bombs, bob-ombs, bumper sticker, golden hammer, regular hammer and home-run bat....lol

it's more fun that way though...but.....no

p.s. what's AP

On the random question, AP stands for Advanced Placement. It's mostly a different class, and is for the more advanced students. Though there are accelerated classes.

On the problem about schedule changes.
If we start with Elimination, we'll once again have the same problem with time taken while seating. We switched to pools to give players more chances to play. Unfortunately it is obvious that when a casual player is seated with an expert player, the casual player wont have very much fun. This is what we are putting into consideration. Also time-wise, Brawl is indeed slower than Melee, and I'm wondering if it might be necessary to either remove a game in pools or more likely, lower the time limit and stock back to 2 stock, 2-3 minutes.
None of this is up to me, it's up to Eli. But it is key to know that the library serves us, and so if an overwhelming majority of the players want such rules changed, I'll bet Eli would be happy to change them.

Anyways, great job with our games against the other libraries. I hope our next victory would be a little more exciting and less expected.

[gtlogo:RED]

yeah some of the stages like temple are bad for time

2 stock sounds good, way more preferrable than increasing item frequency

lol, it only took me one final smash to beat swordsensei last tourny lol that was lucky...items sometimes help
that's why i left them on versing hot_arms but there was no final smashes TT

2-stock really isn't all that good when we have OHKO items on though... I'd have no objections if we turned off smash balls and the dragoon off though...
A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

LOL funzo thats ironic cause you lost to dingdong in brackets and tried to get a rematch cause "items were off" lolll

also you only beat dingdong in round1 cause of landmaster soo verryy ironicc

Holder of the 9000th post!!!

whats ironic.. i never tried to rematch cause items were off, i was just letting eli know. it is true that i shouldnt have picked luigi, a char i just started, to vs his mk but w/e

i think the rules should be:

2 stock
4 minutes
stages that needs to be banned
and items that needs to be banned

I agree with Funzo. I think items should be banned. I was thinking about a petition to, but we should definitely keep it 3 stock. If Items would be off matches would be 100% based on skill. Or at least final smashes and assist trophys.

In reply to by dingdong

Items are not going to be turned off. I sort of wish they were too, but casual players and unskilled players should have a chance. Remember, over 60% of the people who go to the tournaments aren't high tier like the rest of us. We want everyone to have fun while still being competitive. It also wouldn't be fair about a petition because really those of us on the forum are the skilled players.
I'm pretty sure Eli will settle for specific banned items and stages. If we can come to an agreement on this forum about banned items and stages, rules may be changed by Round 3 or 4.
We should begin with listing the recommended banned items.
-We should start with the Bomb-omb, an obvious one.
-I'd also like to ban the smash balls, because I've noticed in games, once a smash ball appears, the fight becomes a race. Usually I just grab it so no one else gets it. I don't use it, I just hold it as long as I can and sometimes even commit suicide.
-I'm not too sure about the Gold Hammer, Smash Wiki says it's better than the hammer in every way.
+We should keep the hammer because a skilled player can easily avoid someone with one.
+I also say leave the Home-run bat on because it takes a skilled player or a lucky shot to get a home run. Also the home run has been slowed down even more in Brawl; It charges about twice as long.
-Maybe the cracker launcher, I haven't seen it being too cheap.
-The Hotheads generally bother me so I'll put it up for discussion.
Remember, I'm not delegating what gets banned, I'm just putting some items forward for discussion. I believe that if we can eliminate the instant KO items, and other high-damaging items, we just might bring down the stock to 2. Remember that last round was very bad because we finished very near closing time for the library. We need ideas in how to shorten the GT.

[gtlogo:RED]

If items are going to be on we should use evo 2k8's bans. If i remember right its beam sword hammer spring spiney guy star rod lips stick, they had smash balls on but nobody wants those, they took so much crap for having items on in the first place

for stages
standard nutrals
final destination
battlefield
yoshi's island
halberd
delfino plaza
smashville

acceptable
castle seige
lylat cruise
pictochat
pokemon stadium 1
pokemon stadium 2
green greens
i think im missing a few

but these are the stages that wont kill you (in most cases)

In reply to by Funzo

halberd and greengreens do but anyways we dont need to be that specific with maps theres lots of others that arent terrible we just need to get rid of the ones like 75m

Golden Hammers should definitely be out. Final Smashes should be out I think for sure. Just final smashes take a lot of fun out of them game and you get beaten by luck by a person who cant side step.

lol golden hammer can't be stopped..i tried using din's fire on it and it just cancels it.

instead of suicide you can just waste the special..unless your pit,luigi,peach,dk,lucas,ness and others that i may have forgotten

if we're banning items, hothead should be banned because any long move or fire move can make it really big (zelda can do it easily) and when the hot head turns big it's like a one or two hit K.O

FINAL SMASHES ON because some are not zero-death like landmasters. some are like lucario's(worst final smash in the game)

p.s. can you reflect a star rod when it's thrown at fox or is it just i messed up and i got the fire field glitch in green greens twice lol

lol, third comment in a row

all the casual and unskilled players i faced in teams and singles wanted items off...but it was easier for me..lol

but then again i did see items set on high before i started a match

but then again there's like only 8 people at the tournament that does that.

banned items should be

clock(slows u down so much its pretty much 50%-death)
curry(i know it can be deflected but that only applies to fox falco peach lucas and ness)
golden hammer
hot head
possibly fan(infinite comboes)
maybe lightning
super star(the invincibility one)
heart
maxtomato
idk others im not looking at the game right now

holder of the 12000th post and best brawl player around

BC 206288081753

Thanks for reminding me limabean.
-I forgot to mention healing items.
-Also I didn't know what curry does really.
-I love the fan. It's one of my favorite items because I pester my opponents with it.

[gtlogo:RED]

curry is like a mini version of ROB's final smash, when you pick it up your character spews fire in front of them. it has rediculous range and is sort of like having a fire flower passively on, so you can still attack while your using it. In other words it is rediculous. i do think lightning should be banned, assist tropheys, pokeballs, and food should be banned, along with everything limabean mentioned (if not all items). It is cool that we are trying to give less experienced players a chance, but is that really fair? If we practice more, spend money entering tournements, and work harder at it, should the people who don't be given an advantage? I think they should just get better. If i were them i would not want items on even if i were worse, your not going to get better by getting lucky.

If dragoon isn't banned, I'd like to see people have a little integrity using it, just because it's OHKO, and you don't even die if you miss... And if you're facing people who aren't as skilled as you, at least give them a chance.

for the clock it's zero to death with zelda lol

the clock and lightning can turn against you but either way it is bad.

p.s. guys, look up super smash bros melee remix song or ssbm remix song in youtube

it is a really good song..has a nice beat =)

"if you're facing people who aren't as skilled as you, at least give them a chance"

how about, finish them off as quick as possible to save time lol...and you should always play seriously because your oppenent can get insulted because you didn't

... or they could get lucky with bad stages or BS items...
Also food shouldn't be banned... in bulk its just as slow to pick up as lets say... the dragoon maybe? also the dragoon's main problem is that the parts don't go away when the person holding them dies the just drop onto the stage, so in like a 1v1, well u get the point right?
A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

In reply to by thesoviet

LIMITED NUMBER OF BANS

Lack of compromise=Lamezorerer

seriously lets grow up :/(this goes to every1 here) Let's stop these petty 4-year old arguments and replace them with at least petty 14 year-old arguments arguments
A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

leave everything on and only take off the k.o. items

like

final smash
dragoon piece
hammer things

cause right now the items are set to low and the only things that come up are smash balls and dragoon pieces cause i don't see anything else.. rarely..

smart bombs are easy to di out of....i didn't know that you had to keep on tapping the controller up really fast to get out, i just held the controller up lol

Can we all agree to at least ban the same items and stages we banned back in Seasons 3 and 4?
For stages, I mean the Melee stages implemented in Brawl that we banned, such as Hyrule Castle.

I'm asking if everyone agrees to use these previous bans as a <strong>base</strong> before we start banning Brawl-explicit items and stages.

[gtlogo:RED]

i agree to the banning the items and stages in brawl, that was in melee
but that's like one stage...lol

I just want the big stages banned.......and hanenbow banned, but everything else is o.k with me...except some items.

p.s. 3:35 a.m. don't you have school lol

2nd p.s. where's hot_arms?

i think u said the question wrong.

the answer to the wrong question is: i would like to feel good

i think u meant:
would u rather beat someone with skills or dragoon parts......

and i wasn't talking about the dragoon parts. I was talking about the "give them a chance" part

like tutu said, they can win with luck..so don't take your chances.

I believe there are two reason the game is meant to be played

1) for fun

2) competition

i think all the stages were on except for custom stages. I probably would've gotten a lot of bad stages, but basically all the people i faced wanted to do FD. The only items i want banned are the items that changes your character physically.(invincibility,curry,metal box,bunny,timer,lightning, franklin badge, screw attack, mushroom, and assistant trophy) Assistant trophy doesn't let you move when your on the ground because it tries to summon the person....so your oppenent can do weak moves and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it....untill your at 200 damage...lol

p.s. tornado can stop golden hammer.....and it glitched for me......the person with the hammer was floating under pokemon stadium..lol. and luckily i got the replay....YEA

2nd p.s. when are they going to show 2008 tournaments on t.v.?

Yeah, jacob, i didn't mean to say give them a chance, i wanted to say beat the crap out of them without dragoon lol.

Oh yea, curry is really good, especially if it comes in two, and if your playing the ice climbers... and you can chain grab...=instant death.

I beat stephen h in lucario vs. lucario, 3 times in a row...that was awesome

p.s. do they still sell mario kart double dash?

Yeah, well Major Tom has the 5000th post in the entire site of AADL.org, and I have the 6000th. Hot_Arms claims he has the 9000th. Having the 100th post in one thread isn't much. Sorry...
Also, Hot_Arms, what did you change your gamertag from last season?

[gtlogo:RED]

i was swordmaster from last season

and iirc you were the one that pointed out i got the 9000th post EBD lol

i found out the total thing....next up is 15000...i'm ready for it lol

p.s. i think electrosun is me......because tutu lost to me and then hot_arms beat me..hmmmm

Hey is it possible to pod cast the last tournament????? I dont have comcast so it would be awesome if I could get it as a podcast.

who do you guys think the top 8 smashers at aadl are? heres my list not in order

hotarms
solon
funzo
dingdong
swordsensei
doomblaze
notra
jacob k

for kart i think again not in order

johninabox
drex
DALE!
doomblaze
monkeyman
funzo
tubolard
limabean

lol no items is probably not happening lol

and u shouldn't do rankings unless u faced the person with no items.

p.s. i'm thinking of a cool gamertag next tourny =) but, it's too hard thinking of the right name

lol i didnt lose to sun, i got scraped by him lol.

Also that list=fail cause it includes ppl from special ops other tjan arjan. Also u can ask notra im better than he is, but I dont care all too much about that list, maybe once we unlock jigglypuff ill actually be able to fight mk in a fair fight...

besides i cant play well when im bored, and fighting 5 ppl in a row u do the same thing is teh uber snorefest...

A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

yea, that happened to chris too, when i faced him. you should see him when he's toon link....he's much better as him than meta knight

lol NEW MAIN
SNAKE AND FOX lol

lol me and stephen stole dingdongs and hot_arms team lol

p.s. stephen mained meta knight

For the next tournament, i don't think we should do surprise games that aren't nintendo

and i don't really like surprise games, just brawl and kart. =)

i wish the tournament would come faster...

well Pyromaniac is better than Funzo, tutu and you theo and he happens to be in my clan. I wanted to say that tutu is better than funzo but I dont know this for sure because I havnt seen them play, and I dont think they ever did, but never the less tutu should be on that list hes better than a lot of people on it. and i was trying to say that pyromaniac is better than tutu and funzo, even though I havnt played tutu yet but Pyromaniac beat tutu (dont give me your johns chi chi). And I can beat funzo and I cant beat Pyromaniac so this means that Pyromaniac is better that funzo which he is. His MK is a lot better other than that idk.

well one you werent complaining about jigglypuff being not unlocked at the tournament when you lost so it sounds like you just made it up. But ok a John is a john

I think the tournament comes out on t.v. every saturday...

and i just realized I only won one first place in my whole life.

ok, i though of a name, tell me what u guys think:
uber koreandj lol
lol is included
lol

This is what i think the list should be for brawl not in order TOP 15
jacob k
hot_arms
dongdong
swordsensei
limabean
doomblaze
solon
tutu
pyromaniac
mojo
funzo
johinabox

tub o lard

Actually i was complaining about not having jigglypuff at the tourny...
okiyama should be included in thew top 15. Random mains get mad respect
also there are some ppl who are fated to never get better at video games.
A lady should be more elegant-Lumiere

tutu.. u need to stop complaining about no jigglypuff.. use some 1 else .. jiggly isn't all that good.. so easily owned... just my opinion..

next tournament I will ditto every1 for tourney matchs for fun

I agree with dingdong. and u can have more than one main. When someone asks you who do you main you say sheik marth and bowser w.e you dont say I MAIN SHEIK BUT MY ALTS ARE MARTH AND BOWSER. your just trying to be smart.

In reply to by thesoviet

naw you can say you main this.. but you should always have another option, cause your char will get raped eventually by someone and then you'll have to change chars, that's what leads to secondary characters

By the way, no, there is no swearing on this forum. It is a clean forum meant for people of all ages in Ann Arbor to read. I'll bet one of the admins will delete his post soon.

[gtlogo:RED]

lol, i think the post is for grades 6-12...lol

but, i like no cursing too =)

except for that one time, when those 2 kids were arguing at the big screen during melee and then one of them threw a controller at the other...tutu said the right thing...lol

p.s. i agree with limabean
and i think i should be in top 8 for kart...because i got 4th place last time... =)

i do better every season...
in 2005 o points because i didn't go that time =P
in 2006 barely any points because i went to like 2 tournaments =)
in 2007 12th place overall...i think i went to all the tournaments...=D
in 2008 9th place so far... XD

I don't even get what you guys are saying... lol.
By the way, how good is revenge of dr. j in kart, cause i never saw him play before.
Also, I think i'm one of the only people who haven't played chi chi formally in brawl (for the pools).

oooh, soviet you cursed...lol

I 3 stocked sunny(37th place overall and he only went to the tournament once) with zero percent twice...

i beat him in marth dittos, and when i was pikachu and he was sonic... =D

and i didn't face tutu in pools either...

p.s. I saw john's comment during school, but i didn't get it untill i read it again...lol

ok ima say this once, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE MAIN! thats why its called a main. If you truely are equally good with x amount of characters (WHICH IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY) then your best would be your highest tier character (if you beleive in tiers). There are many things that go against the fact that there are tiers, and part of me wants to say that there shouldn't be tierlists.

as for smashers ima do my top 10 list not in order

harms
notra
jacob k
funzo
dingdong
swordsensei
doomblaze
limabean

Huron may have started at 7:40, but my Tuesday and Thursday classes start at 7:30. Luckily as soon as class is over, I go home and sleep the rest of the day.

Also for those of you to have had Mr. Cummings at Huron, I feel your pain. I had him for Psyche some time ago, and he was one of the most inspiring teachers I've ever had. He further taught me how to not care about what others think of me, and he also taught me to have a firm handshake. I will keep his memory with me.

Oh im sry, i dont really consider the snorked word of mine a swear word, or else i wouldnt have said it, but I'll remember that in the future ^.^;

anyway yasha if all i ever do is john, that implies that all i ever do is lose... And if I always lose I dont know why u even bother showing up :p.

Also stop hating, no seriously stop hating, for emphasis I'll say it one more time; stop hating. Also ur worse than julian accpet it. Pyro is worse than julian accpet that as well. While ur accpeting that, u might as well accept that Julian>clan phoenix. No I'm not riding julian's tip(hope that's appropiate enough for this board ^.^;) he really is just better.

That being said, its ding's turn. Dude if u ever wanna see the reason i play jiggs against meta, I'll gladly show u during in our tourny match, IFF u make it that far :P

As for julian, tiers exist, its true for all fighiting games that have characters that are different. True equality cant exist between two things that are not the same.

that all being said it really is sad that MR.commings is dead. And if any of you out there are inclined to be little scrubby haters xCoughxYashaxCoughx save it.

It's every guys dream to be a princess-chi^2

Also here is an idea for how to make the GT end sooner. During brawl, if some1 doesnt change his/(her tag, and ends up getting different controls(i.e. Mine), dont restart the match, it doesnt take too many brain cells to make sure that your tag is the one that you use.
It's every guys dream to be a princess-chi^2

To Julian: Are you saying we should only be good as one character and only fight as him/her? Or can we play with several characters and be good as them?

Also, if you're facing someone and you have a char. selected, and then they select their's, if you change yours after that would that be ok, or what? I'm guessing not, but that's just me.

Im saying that whether you like it or not, everyone has ONE BEST CHARACTER. and yes players constantly are switching their characters based on their opponents at higher level play. the arguement against tiers is this

people aregue that every character can be played equally well, and tier lists create a cycle from the time the game comes out that alot of people base who they play on. Therefore lower tier characters get played alot less, and therefore have a much worse metagame. at the same time the higher tier ones are getting played more, new strats are being found and such.there the national tournement winners in melee about 95% of the time used either fox falco marth or shiek, which says that either the great players picked them and they were developed, or they are just better. the bottom line is, there just better.
its an interesting arguement, but tiers exist because the game makers cant forsee advanced tactics and such, and in a game with all completely different characters, it is impossible to balance them

i never saw how notra plays and who his main is...I need to find out =)

1 week and 4 days.

lol, it wasn't in order...

i don't think we can do order for smash...yet...but...i'll be 1ST =D

1 week and 4 days.

i think my username is going to be kimiko
lol

kimiko is from xialon showdown =D used to be a good series...lol

1 week 3 days

We should decide who's in the top 10 or whatever at the tournament, cause this is gonna turn ugly real soon.
To Funzo: Ok, it's true that you can only be BEST at one character (mine is snake) but you should be at least good as 1 other because characters are counterpicks for other chars. Who's your main again?
Also, tutu, I would like to face you at the tournament, we should agree on settings and stages and what not.

Also, I think Connor (mumbles) wants to face theo in a 1v1 at the tournament, he got pretty mad when him and someone else (idk) were teaming up on him. Also I want to face Julian too. (This is Matt for anyone who knows me, sorry I didn't mention it earlier)

bla bla bla lol jk...

we don't have time to decide who's top 10...were just going to find out when you face the person in a real tournament match...or a grudge match when you have time.

1 week 3 days

lol, i was playing melee today and my friend thought side dodging was really good...lol

what's a magic match...

amd for the time problem, i think we should just do 2 FFA for pools.

1 week 2 days

Tutu's right, ffa's don't really test your skills, because there could be double teaming, unfair stages,etc.
Tutu, do you want to do a 1v1 during matches or before the tournament, or what, cause i want to face you in brawl. We should agree on the stages and settings.
Jacob, I think what Julian is talking about is magic the gathering, but I'm not sure tho.

theeeeen, we should take out the ffa and do just singles...but, that's not fun for some people, i think...(i want to do that though)

YEA, i figured out the problem for my mario kart double dash game...whenever i go to peach beach, mushroom bridge, or mushroom city it says disc could not be read...just have to avoid going to those stages...

and that happened to my brawl disc a long time ago...whenever i go to peach or ness it would say disc could not be read...=D so...i had to get a new disc....=(

no joke

1 week 2 days

isn't the gygo tournament on the same date as the aadl tournament...

and what's the vayseth's tourney

ya ggs to u too,

I was just stopping by digi ops cause I was doing history project and we had to wait for some noob that didn't show up.. so I was just bored and played some brawl

Jacob u have the cause and effect wrong, well seeing as i am effect without cause i guess its understandable, but seeing as all u lesser beings are unable to comprehend that, on your primitive frame of logic the cause would be dreaming to be a princess, and the effect would be maining peach
It's every guys dream to be a princess-chi^2

where's digi ops, and do they use gamecube controllers...

i might mm you, but i'm afraid to lose a dollar...lol

5 days

lol, thnx

i'm going to go there some time, sounds fun...=D
and are there a lot of people there? (good people)

5 days

That's <strong>Bryant</strong>, you mean. Yeah, he's good with Wolf. I occasionally beat him here and there. I've gotten him to play with Falco recently. Though unfortunately when we all want to use less common characters such as DK and Yoshi, he sticks with Marth and Fox. No fun...
Other than that, the atmosphere at Digi Ops is fairly good, it feels like you're just hanging out with friends.
Speaking of less-used characters, did Nintendo make DK stronger? I'm really good with him.
I have:
Wolf (as my best)
Toon Link
Falco
DK
King De De De
Snake
in approximately that order. Any suggestions on a character I should practice with? I don't own the game, I just get occasional practice.

[gtlogo:RED]

do you tell the person how long your going to play, then give them the money to go in...??????????????
and i think they made dk better...he has super armor in the right moves...and i like his up b personally

and are there usernames and records at the place...

and there's:
META KNIGHT
marth
diddy kong
r.o.b
lucario
pikachu

5 days

you make an account and you pay money to play for a specific amount of time. go to digitalops.com

and yeah i meant bryant. Yeah I love digi ops Ive been volunteering there for a fairly long time its an awesome place and hopefully it will last.

what do you mean by volunteering there

No, yes, and yes. You go in and ask to play. Tell them you're new. Bring ID and tell them you're new username you will be logging on with. You should get a free half hour. You can also be nice and say EvilBusDriver (Mike) referred you to get me a free half hour. Pay up for how many hours you want. You then sit at a computer and sign in, type in your desired password. It should prompt you to confirm your password, type it again. Now you can play games.
If you want to play with the consoles, you need to be signed out of a computer (they'll sign you out if you're somehow signed in). Talk to the guys at the desk and ask to play a console game. They'll hand you the Wii and you give them collateral (School ID, your driver's licence, shoes, etc.) The cables should be already hooked up, just plug them into the back of the Wii. Play your game.
I forgot to mention I do play as Pikachu, and I've recently started with Lucario.

[gtlogo:RED]

actually they make employees or volunteers set up the wii now I dont know why they started doing that but its all good. On friday I might be at ops on friday so if anyone wants to come we can all play but not for free. TOURNAMENT SOON!

I guess they just trust me with the Wii. I was there just last night and the night before. It may be because I have friends who work there and they know me. I also have friends who work at CyGamz. You just gotta know people.

[gtlogo:RED]

yeah. basically. Is anyone interested in trying to set up smash club anywhere? I hate waiting for AADL tourneys to play someone good. It doesnt necessarily have to be at huron

yeah thats why I was thinking to do it somewere else I could try and set it up at digi ops and make some kind of reduced price event to bring in more brawl players. But also I forgot that Digi ops is having this special high school thing all week and there might be a brawl tourney sometime but nothing major.

But also I forgot that Digi ops is having this special high school thing all week and there might be a brawl tourney sometime but nothing major.

bottom line is, the only way to make this actually happen is to use huron. were not going to get a revenue unless i pull some strings with josh, and that will still cost money. we dont have to make it an official club or anything, you guys should just find a teacher you like and ask if you can play in their classroom after school (i dont go to huron so i cant ask lol). It worked perfectly exept lain was a flake last year. chi chi how do you get it so under your posts it says shit, jacob thinks you just type it but i think jacob is just wrong :P

julien you dont even volunteer or go to digi ops anymore. You would be the last person that could pull any strings. And its a signature I used to have one but I deleted it. Digi ops does cost money but it would be more fun than at school cuz 1 they got couches we can sit one 2 we can buy drinks 3 were in downtown so if we wanna go get sumthing to eat we can just step out. Or we can sit in a classroom with a bunch of guys sweating like hell, every smash club was hot as hell I remember cuz I would always get headaches from it because we were all packed in that room. And its way to much effort to make us a real club were at digi ops we can just go and hangout.

just cause im not doing anything there now doesnt mean crap :Pschool is free, and transportation isnt nearly as much of an issue, id rather do it for free, and i think most people will agree, as for it being hot we can open windows?

pfhhh ima pwn the turni at the aadl, im not spending my time at 2 video game places in one weekend. thats just lame

.·´¯˙·٠•● John in a box ●•٠·˙¯`·.

Yeah, John is right. Not to offend anyone, but it is kinda pointless to just play video games all weekend, sure it's fun, but then on monday you'll feel like crap.
BTW, do you guys have to take the MEAPs?

don't you already feel like crap on mondays...
it's the beginning of the week of SCHOOL,
school is too boooooorrrrriiiiiinnnnnnngggg (except for hanging out with friends)

so you have to even out the boringness, with fun stuff...and that would be pwning people in brawl. plus there's not much to do on the weekends...lol

4 days

see the tourneys is different than just playing video games all day because its social interaction a lot more than playing. But I mean you can play video games all weekend if u have nothing planned but its always nice to hangout with people instead of playing video games

In reply to by dingdong

im bored, some 1 give me a good computer game site i can play at.

i dont have school today!!!! or tomorrow or friday!!!!

Soviet is right, cause in reality, you're only playing about 30 min. to 1 hour on brawl/kart at the tourneys. And also the aadl tourneys are probably more organized than others.

yeah I think the aadl tourneys are the most organized smash tourneys in ann arbor. I do more socializing at aadl tourneys than playing. This tourney will be my last weekend as a freeman. groundedness

deng, my chances of going to digi ops at all this week is looking pretty bad...

i think my zelda is back to being my main
LOL i need to stop switching

and i just realized...i'm better at FFA's, items and random stages(except the really bad ones) then i am at singles, no items, neutral stages..
