Apex 2014 - January 17-19, 2014 - Somerset, NJ

[Battlecow]

I felt a great disturbance in the force

as if a thousand wrongs were righted and the world suddenly flew into its proper orbit

I couldn't help but be drawn to smashboards like a moth to a flame

I couldn't believe it

But it is so

Oh that I should live to see this day

 

[Han Solo]

Don't you dare use Star Wars to celebrate this.

 

[mixa]

what with this being protective of media stuff

not surprising copyright is like grandchildren lifetime + 1000 light years

 

[¨°PÞ-§°¨ Bane]

lol you guys fox is still extremely good on dreamland. is it going to take top level players to show you that? less skilled foxes without a good punish game will probably get dominated, but i can assure you that that's not the case with the best foxes out there.

that's a good thing though, i think. it'll weed out the bad players and force them to improve instead of relying on going to hyrule.

 

[Cobrevolution]

I won't be the first.

Battlecow (Falcon)
Kero (Ness)
Yobo (Ness)
Sensei (Fox)
Nintendude (Mario)

They all abandoned their mains for a clearly superior character.

stick to your GUNS solo

sacrificing who you enjoy for sake of placement/easier character matchups is NOT GOOD

 

[MrMarbles]

i'm sad to see hyrule go. as a pika main i now have no chance competitively

 

[Han Solo]

So what's the procedure now? We don't have 3 neutrals. Is it going to be Dreamland first with PC and Congo as CPs?

 

[Cobrevolution]

fine with that.

also let's see about that can't-cp-a-stage-you-cp'd-to-and-won-on.

 

[SSB64-Jel]

Major announcement:

After talking it several other SSB64 TOs from the Northeast, HYRULE IS BANNED FOR APEX 2014

DL here we come. If you guys still wanted to play on Hyrule all you need is both players to voite on it just like all other banned stages.

 

[TANK64]

i'm sad to see hyrule go. as a pika main i now have no chance competitively

YOUUUUU

 

[banze]

Will fox receive an extra stock now or something ??



JK

 

[Han Solo]

I'll give SuPeRbOoMfAn $50 if he goes Fox every single game in tourney and wins.

 

[¨°PÞ-§°¨ Bane]

^ could quite possibly happen if isai still goes puff

 

[Skrlx]

inb4 Isai doesn't go because Hyrule is banned

(He likes that stage.)

 

[Sangoku]

Nah, he should go:
"Let's gentleman to Hyrule? If you refuse I'll drop out of the tourney."

 

[KeroKeroppi]

I won't be the first.

Battlecow (Falcon)
Kero (Ness)
Yobo (Ness)
Sensei (Fox)
Nintendude (Mario)

They all abandoned their mains for a clearly superior character.

Woah woah woah.

I don't know Yobo's situation, and I can understand one labeling the bovine and I as pika mains. But by no means have Sensei and Nintendude abandoned their mains.

Going pika a handful of times in tourney doesn't make you a pika main. They both deserve more credit than that.

 

[mixa]

out of guilt person x is discrediting everyone else so his betrayal will go smoothly.

that's expected.

 

[The Star King]

I don't even get Han Solo's point was supposed to be with that post. Those were before the Hyrule ban. I guess mixa is right.

 

[Han Solo]

It took Hyrule being banned for me to see the light, SK. The others I mentioned were already enlightened.

mixa, I'm not discrediting anyone. If their goal is to win, they all made the smart choice. Why play a character on a stage as small as Dreamland where one throw off stage is a stock when you can play a character full of second chances?

 

[thegreginator]

What is the Pika-Falcon matchup on DL? 55-45?

Gah I wanna go Falcon but Pikas are scary.

I agree that Pikachu is the most choke-proof character in the game, but I still think Fox has the best neutral game and is far from non-viable on Dreamland as long as the player isn't a choker and has his combos down, can read his opponent well, and good DI.

 

[LiteralGrill]

Wow, no Hyrule!

I third the wanting to know which TOs/how it was decided. I want their exact reasoning, as it may lead to more questions.

I also second wanting to know if it is start on Dreamland only then Castle/Congo for CPs.

Then, I want to make a new matchup and tier list thread for Hyrule banned

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

im not comfortable using fox against isai

 

[SheerMadness]

I'm pissed at hyrule being banned.

But it works out in my favor. Gonna pwn you scrubs even harder now.

Yes Fox still ***** on dreamland.

 

[Ceasar]

I will surely miss tent combos.

 

[clubbadubba]

Nah, he should go:
"Let's gentleman to Hyrule? If you refuse I'll drop out of the tourney."

i think i'm gonna beat isai this year!

 

[B Link]

I think that Fox sucks balls on dreamland. I guess he's not lower-middle/bottom tier but that drop against Kirby/Pikachu is undeniable.

 

[malva00]

hyrule is banned? guess I get to save my money this year XD might not go

 

[¨°PÞ-§°¨ Bane]

lol ^

well hopefully more japanese players will come at least

 

[banze]

did not LoL at that actually ... I'm just sad =/

 

[mixa]

steve was right

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

looks like fox is winning this year then

 

[mixa]

rofl **** yes

 

[Sedda]

RIP chances of capt tavo ever coming here

 

[DMoogle]

If Isai doesn't go, there's a stronger chance I won't go.

 

[mixa]

the japanese are never gonna get this guy in tournament

 

[Sedda]

Come on guys. It sucks that Hyrule is banned, but just go. Don't pull a jel and kefit here... though you should make a rule that forces Isai to play all of his matches on Hyrule and everyone has to play Kirby against him so that he can teach you how to play the machup and stop complaining about m2k.

**** it, I actually hope M2K takes this if he has time to play. YEAR OF THE KIRBY. YEAR OF THE FIREBLASTER RAGE. YEAR OF THE ROBOT

What the hell does this have to do with me

 

[Doomolish]

This sucks. Hyrule will not be banned from the mexican scene as for now.

 

[Sedda]

What the hell does this have to do with me

because why not
