God, im sick of Brawl online already. People using Ike and Lucas are so gay and noobish, all the lucas players do is spam "Up-Smash" and "PK fire" and they win its so cheap and just wow. All the Ike players have to do online is wait and do a smash attack and boom easy kill. So **** Brawl online, Nintendo did a horrible job and they know it. Stupid button lagg WTF is that, all there other games dont lagg or anything... why does smash have too :ohwell:.

<----plays Metaknight.

Don't believe the lies Rigor. It's a lot like Ali vs Foreman...just wear 'em down and wait for the opening and BAM, left right and down goes the giant.

(I don't like boxing, but that fight [Muhammad Ali v George Foreman] is one of the greatest fights I've ever seen. Prime example of mindgames.)

Hello!

My name is Jason and I run Gadrock Gamers, a group that hosts meetups and tournaments around Gadsden, AL.

We just had our first meetup yesterday at Collector's Paradise Comics. Was a good turnout but I'd love to double it!

Anywho, the reason I'm posting here is that...

April 12th 2008 @ Coffee Vine Cafe in Rainbow City will be hosting Gadrock Gamers.

The address is 3225 Rainbow Drive #244 Rainbow City, AL. They are located in the corner of Rainbow Plaza...too many rainbows

The general meetup time is 4 pm to 11 pm (-ish) but they are open for business even earlier

We are having two tournaments:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl starts at 7:00 PM


Replays Gameware Rewind Tournament:

Nintendo 64: Goldeneye 007 starts at 5:00 PM


Both are $7 to enter and prizes are TBA.

Sooo check us out and add us @ www.myspace.com/gadrockgamers or call 205-470-9667 to keep in the "know"

i think the best strategy for fighting metaknight its keeping the following in mind:

"hey, this is annoying, but I'VE STILL GOT LIKE 60 MORE PERCENT BEFORE HE CAN KILL ME"

I've added you. I'm not sure if you both have to be online at once or what. Maybe I should just leave my Wii connected whenever I'm not around.

Well, today is the day that I travel back to the mountain...meaning my online playing time is going down. Maybe I won't be playing online at all.

Added jwt and sensai to my buddylist

EDIT: I had fun decimating majist tonight with Wolf.

ULTRAKILL

We also determined that Mario is better than Sonic by a fireball.
gah. screw wolf. it didn't help that it was an online game either. online has my mind going in circles. i did so many things i didn't mean to do D: but yeah, you totally wrecked me. you've improved immensely since we played last. let's just say i'm feeling the pressure to keep up! gg's dude.
Will be adding Majist and nice1 tonight. Probably not going to be playing much though...gonna see a movie/get MGS working on my computer.

[Edit:]

Also, that thing about Tabuu's father made me laugh a whole bunch. Thanks Midguy.

[Edit 2:]

Good game Majist. Sorry, I had to run...although it DCed on its own. Weird. Good game regardless. Zelda's scary.
no worries dude. i really didn't play very well, but thanks anyways:) Zelda is too good. i just have to figure her out online. it's a totally different game.
So, each person on my friend list so far is "Awaiting Registration." You people need to add me already so we can play some laggy online matches.
i added you!!

@Everyone: Ok guys i'll be playing on my friends wii until i can get one of my own so if you see someone named "juicy mcfingerbang" asking to be your friend thats me...lol at least until i get my own wii. i got a nice $300 tax return on the way so I'll be using a little of my extra money, if i can ever find a **** Wii.

Rigor Mortis, thanks for hosting on Saturday; was much fun. I think I left a red water bottle at your house, along with three Paulander hefeweizens in your freezer. I suppose that if those get consumed before I make it out that way again, consider them a gift... but I want that daamn water bottle.

Oh, and good games. We should do more 2v2s and 1v1s next time.

Is it just me, or does NO ONE play Snake? Online I see lots of Marth, Ike, Wolf, Meta, DDD, ZSS, etc., but not so much on the Snake. And T4RN1SH, I hear your words, but haven't had as bad an experience online. Then again, I play Lucas and I do love his up-smash. The lag can be bad, but I think the only time I got truly screwed was while playing against Wolf... as Lucas.

@mslano: I added you, dude. I'll double check your Brawl code just in case.

Oh, and to my fellow hipsters, check out Crystal Castles if you are not already listening to them.

Rob, everyone I play at PA uses snake to some degree. It's madness. Snakes everywhere.

I like Snake. I just wish he had a little more maneuverability.

So yeah, Janitor, from watching your videos, Melee looks so incredibly fast to me, and Brawl's only been out for a week. Playing both games is going to be harder than I thought.

Anyone else win round 2 of the GameStop tournament, or am I alone there? Regionals is in two weeks. I guess I need all the time I can get to be able to do as well as I can with the Wiimote and Nunchuck as I can with the Gamecube controller.

the speed isn't the problem for me. my main problem is going back and forth between l-canceling/not l-canceling and also shield-cancel grab/jump cancel grab

Yes my words have been heard :p.

Anyways, yea the online is garbage. There's no point in playing in online to try and get better because it wont help. If Nintendo would just put some money down on getting there own servers then it prob would fix alot of the problem... that and the button lagg needs to go. I'll still be playing online off and on but not much anymore cause well.... i see no point.

Congrats to Moog and George on your wins! Make our smash community proud and try not to get hit with exploding capsules and w/e the hell that ****ing thing is where you have to get 3 pieces and then you just pwn the **** out of the other person, that thing pisses me off.

My friend and i were arguing about how the items in brawl are so much lamer than in melee. In Melee they were actually kinda fun to use and not so "Awesome, assist trophy...oh you're dead..PWNed". To much one hit kill crap, just isn't as fun as melee with items.

@ Moogle and George: Congrats. Represent the 'bama.

@ mslano: I added you day one...I can't check, though, 'cause...

@ everyone: I won't be online again until I get back home since the Internet connection here is for balls. That sucks.

true. the only reason i'm even moderately decent (emphasis on moderately) @ 64 is a combination of trying to emulate isai's combos and playing online. :-D

and the same goes for other online games. most halo and gears players played exclusively online before joining the competitive scene.

Cool. Now you people just need to be online the same time I am. I've already played Rob and Joel, but I've only had this game for 3 days, so I'm eager to get more competition.

You may be right on some level's but you'd need a Green or Blue connection so that you can used to everything so that when you go to an offline tournament your not trying to play like you would online. In my Opinion atleast.

[EDIT] - Also i played Olimar in a GB match and did great with him. So if you would put him down as my 2nd and ROB my last XD.

Janitor, we can get together sometime this week and play some Brawl (must suck being without Brawl for a week, lol). The problem is that I'm working long unpredictable hours right now, so I don't know when the best time is, and I'm gonna be tied up this weekend with my gf, so it'll have to be before Friday.

George (or anyone else in Birmingham), do y'all wanna get together and try to do something one night? If so, pick a day that works for y'all. I'd prefer any night other than Wednesday.

BTW, congrats on the win George. However, I will let you know that if we play each other live at some point this week, I'm making you play with nunchuk. My reasons are 2-fold. 1)to make you better so you can properly represent us in a couple of weeks and 2)to make myself feel better by increasing my chances of consistently beating you by forcing you to use a gimped control scheme. Its for the greater good.

any day works for me. just let me knowww. today even? midguy did you say you live off lakeshore? that's pretty close to me (moutain brook)
naixin (aznseal) hit me up on facebook saying he wanted to play sometime too

hoover area would probably be the best place for a group smashfest because most bham area smashes live in hoover/vestavia

but anytime anyone just hit me up lol

and yes the dragoon is broken. although at my gamestop tournament i dodged one with a roll, and it looked all sweet with the slow motion and everything
but that guy didn't know how to use it. basically you just point, shoot, and get a free kill. he was hesitating to much

yosup dudes and dudettes.
SunriseW12, Centre, Weegee. Do what you gotta do.

Also I'm gonna add most all of you, so be merciful and add me too. I dont want to have to play against lvl 9s my whole life.
I will add you after work. Welcome. Sorry to ignore your previous post. Thanks. Same to you. What region of Alabama are you in?

@ Majist: I added you yesterday. I think we both have to be on WFC for the handshake to take place. Maybe?

@ mslano: Are you TREX on Brawl? Luigi, I should've known. Lag wasn't even that bad. I wanted to play more, but I only had time for a few games. Everyone's Brawl name is different from here on the boards, so I can't always tell who's who.

Which reminds me... Who is BROCK and YOU! on Brawl? I added a bunch of people and can't keep track.

Janitor,
I talked to Alex (Ahrnygoose) and he wants to get together tomorrow around 7:30 or 8 to smash. That works out perfect for me too. Shoot me your number and address and I can pick you up when I leave work tomorrow and we can smash at his dorm on UAB campus.

i was reading some older posts trying to catch up, and i noticed that you were asking about a good IM program with voice chat. ever heard of X-Fire? i've got it, and its pretty good. i haven't used it in a while, but i used to use when i played battlefield 2.

@everyone
i'll try to get online whenever i can. that may be at sporadic times though
