There are people who play melee in Corvallis? Or did they all come into existence then die off again? I moved here from AZ recently. I live in Corvallis but go to school in Eugene, and would like to get into melee again some... haven't really played it the last 2 years. It looked like...

I think the discussion about Samus is a little misplaced. I don't think she's super weak like some people are asserting, and possibly not weak at all. The thing is that Samus is freaking hard to play right. Just like in Melee, using her anywhere close to well is difficult, and you rarely see...

Alright, so excuse my question if it sounds stupid... Powershielding in vbrawl is hella easier than powershielding even attacks in melee. Unless I'm... insane. Sooo... I know melee runs at 60fps, so does brawl only run at 30? So that 3 frames in vbrawl is 1/10th of a second, while the...

Hmmm... so I'm liking 4.0 a lot. Definitely making huge progress over the last couple months. A few things like lack of DIability for fox/falco lasers just feel really wrong and out of place, but I understand there's no code for fixing that yet. I suddenly find myself loving the hell out of...

Just because all your favorite characters were low ranked is not a reason to create what amounts to a subjective writing of... fuzzy characteristics. Ones that aren't mutually exclusive in the way you have it set up, too. I mean, you can be really good with a low tier character. Even better...

I'm a little confused by the arguments for Brawl being more balanced than Melee in terms of characters. In Melee, you have a large number of characters used at the highest level. Marth, Fox, Falco, Shiek of course, but also ICs, Peach, Samus, Falcon, Puff consistently as well. Other...

It's worth noting that just because ST has randomness and is still a good game doesn't mean that it wouldn't be a better game without the randomness. Isn't ST HDremix going to have the rebalanced mode, worked on by Sirlin and other top players, which removes this randomness? And, in fact...

It is feasible to compete at many things which are not interesting competitively. Just because something is competitive doesn't mean it should be, or that the competitive experience is satisfying or fun. Poor competition in sequels is, at least from my experience, a primary reason why...

Why are we guaranteed that Brawl will be superior to Melee in every way? This is just a foolish statement. It is very often the case that sequels are generally regarded as inferior to their predecessors, and even if about par or even better, often certain aspects aren't as good. That's...

Just a random thought, but could the momentum-based airdodging actually be synergistic with bomb bouncing as a recovery method? That is, after bouncing off a bomb you presumably still must have forward/upwards momentum (else it wouldn't help with recovery), in which case at the apex of your...

GENO!!!!! And if they have a new Star Fox character (on a somewhat unrelated note to the poll), it should be Slippy! :)

That's not so, we know how classical latin (and presumably medieval latin) was pronounced...

If someone can post the lyrics I can give a shot at translating it. My latin education is ongoing still, but I'm sure there are enough of us on here that we could get a decent translation pounded out between us.

I'd just like to note that divx does not support lossless compression, therefore, it makes absolutely no sense to say that you rendered it in divx resulting in a 846MB "uncompressed" file. Perhaps a lot of your troubles getting this video out the door was because you need more experience with...
