Sadly I'm poor and going to college so driving 40 miles and back for a tournament seems a little silly. Otherwise I'd still be playing Pokemon TCG competitively.

yeah, but 40 miles is only what, 40 minutes of driving tops?
besides, isnt there any form of public transport nearby?

I haven't looked into public transport, but gas is so expensive that we can't afford to make trips to the spring that often. My dad refuses to let me get a job at the moment and he only makes about 18k a year off of retirement...don't get me wrong I don't think it's that great a distance myself but we barely have the money for college.

i get you, i guess student loans work entirely differently in america

although i will say this, 'gas' in america is not expensive. from what i gathered from my american family members and american friends, gas in UK is about 3 times more expensive than gas in america. sad times

Yeeeah I haven't gone on student loans yet because I don't wanna be in debt when I graduate. For now I'm just on Social Security and such.

right, i suggest getting talking to a careers advisor, because AFAIK student loans are incredibly safe.
for example, british student loans are like:
you dont have to start paying any of your debt back untill you are earning over 21000 pounds (about $35000) annually
only 9% extra of what you earn on top of that is used to pay back the loan (ie: if you earn 22000 pounds, you only pay back 9% of the extra 1000 back)
if you still have debt after 20 years, the debt is forgotten and you never have to pay any of it back if you never finished


its probably similar in the states, try looking into it because it could be incredibly useful in the first place (for the record, they dont tell students about all of these catches usually, this is stuff which ive found out from scavenging records)

In the states you start paying a year after you graduate college
And from how you describe it (only 9% of what extra you make after a cap) that's definitely not how the us does it, the government wants their money lol

so do ours, they also want to have people competent to fill teir places after they kick the bucket, theres probably something to save it from being totally extortionate
how much do you pay for university per year anyway

I know that for me, two years of college is going to run me around $10000-$15000 here in Canada, accounting for books and all that.

It's a culinary course for reference, and college, not university.

I was typing up a huge post about all of my recent developments with Ganon's metagame, but accidentally hit "back" and everything got lost. Seriously I've been working at this post for 3 days.

Now it's like eh.... too lazy

Before I graduated high school, I had plans of going into either game design or computer programming. My college plans fell through, and after a couple of years, I realized that I didn't really want to do either career that I spent over six years, and thousands of hours preparing for.

In all honesty, when and if I do go back to school, I'd like to become either an English teacher or a librarian.

If you typed it up in Notepad or something, you wouldn't have any issues.

It was probably a revolutionary post. A post that would have shown us Ganon's true power and have skyrocketed him to the glorious higher tiers.

And you just HAD to hit the Back button. Foolish mortal...

I worked on this massive comprehensive frame thread for the Dedede boards.

It had OoS information on every single move in the game.

And then a ****ing 502 (?) error wiped it from the face of the earth.

I would have typed it in Word but I didn't intend for it to be as long as it was lol.

Ohhhh well, I may type it up again... who knows... it would probably be a thread instead of a single post though.

Hey can anyone find me a side view picture of ganons melee/spaceworld demo sword?

I'm actually going to try and craft a wooden version of it and bring it to apex but i can't really work with dimensions from only 1 view perspective

In Denmark, places with public education are free. You pretty much only pay for transport, books and trips, but the government gives you money for that, since we have a nice little thing called "The Government's Educational Support".

Well, good and bad news.

Good news is that my friend Scout is driving all the way from Portland to pick me up for the weekend to bring me to a tournament. The bad news is that I've had no practice whatsoever.

To add to PokemonmasterIRL's questions, I wanted to know if anyone had mastered true chainchoking, and if anyone did bouncing combos like tipman- pivot jab/dtilt/ftilt/iDA/choke.

Short hop, short hop air dodge, jump then wizkick right before you hit the ground is the standing version. The easier version is to roll all the way to the edge, wizkick, jump, then wizkick after Ganon does a full flip.

I usually only f-smash if I pull off a bouncing combo.
