Pirate ship is gross, one of three stages in the game that I hate.

 

[Life]

Pirate Ship is awesome. Seriously consider? (Well, Norfair/Japes are more important to me, but y'know, baby steps)

How can you hate fun. Oh no, you're starting to take Brawl seriously now, aren't you?

QUICK, WE NEED SOMEONE TO SAVE HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

 

[Jimmyfosho]

Pirate ship is dumb

Port Town Aero Dive is the best stage in the game.

 

[PGH Carroll]

ive come to the conclusion.. that brawl is a terrible game.. just bad everywhere.
ive tried but i just cant. </3

 

[-Crews-]

Darn, Wiz Kalifa and Mac Miller are playing in tha burgh on this day. Looks like I can't make to this :/

 

[PGH Carroll]

wiz and mac johns.. JESUS CHRIST. what has the world come to</3

Kinda split on this post. On one hand, Pirate Ship is an amazing stage and anyone who hates it should feel terrible. On the other hand, PTAD is also an amazing stage and anyone who hates it should stop getting hit by the cars.

Erm...

 

[Get Low]

Mac Miller sucks so bad, haha.
Something stupid always comes up every time there's a Hope tourney, but I'm really trying to make this one.

 

[M@v]

Screw port town. They should of just brought back mute city.

 

[Phoenix_Dark]

So I guess I have to start playing this game again at some point..

 

[Sleek Media]

I might actually show up this time if MK is banned.

M@V, item MM for $20. If you win, keep the cash. If I win, you have to put on an item-legal side event.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Sleek Media with the best idea ever.

Mav, $5 MM. If you win, keep the cash. If I win, make Pirate Ship legal.

 

[PGH Carroll]

M@v 50 dollar money match. if you win you keep the money. but if i win no brawl at the tourney

 

[Life]

$5 money match. If you win, you keep the money. If I win, I keep the money.

Just kidding, I'd love to see Japes/Norfair legal at least though. I don't think I can convince people though...

 

[PGH Carroll]

why do you guys even play on all of those dumb stages?

 

[Life]

On the contrary, they're the most intelligent stages around. Stage interference raises the skill cap, which is a good thing.

To put it another way, Starcraft is played with game speed (or whatever they call it, too lazy to bring mine up and look) set to the maximum setting because it's the most difficult speed to play on and therefore leaves the most room open for skill. Why do Smashers insist on playing easy stages?

...I like this line of thinking. I'll have to pass it to the guys back on Stage Discussion and see what they think.

 

[KrazyKnux]

Sounds like u just made all that up

 

[KrazyKnux]

Like, you said "they're the most intelligent stages around".

And THEN you came up with the reason why. lolol

 

[Life]

To be fair, I have been known to do that. This is like 2008-level stage debating though.

I'd direct any more questions about why I want more stages legal to the Stage Discussion forum (social is probably best)--first, so we don't spam up this thread, and second, because I am not the only one that thinks this way--maybe someone else there could put the argument better than I can.

 

[Sleek Media]

No items fox only final destination gaiz!!!1!!11!

 

[borommakot77]

Lol. Sleek such a troll. He just likes items because Luigi is OP as hell with smashballs on.

 

[Life]

Nah man, Sonic's the one that's OP with Smashballs. Super Sonic is pretty much a guaranteed kill, and Sonic's really good at chasing the ball down.

 

[Sleek Media]

Actually not a huge fan of smash balls. It's just one big move you're supposed to abuse in a single, efficient way. So basically exactly like the rest of non-item Brawl. You can do some awesome stuff with regular items, though.

 

[borommakot77]

true, boys need to work on their item game. My suggestion, play the first minute of a ZSS match over and over again.

 

[BeanBurrito]

I would definitely be interested in going to this if I had a ride. I need to get to some tourneys this summer!

 

[Sleek Media]

true, boys need to work on their item game. My suggestion, play the first minute of a ZSS match over and over again.

My favorite part of tourney smash is when I go ZSS and just WRECK someone's first stock with those suit pieces. I always look over, and have to do my best to stifle a laugh when I see the twisted look of pure unbridled item-hating rage on their faces.

 

[PGH Carroll]

ZSS is a bad character.

 

[Life]

Sonic's worse. Bottoms up!

 

[Get Low]

Olimar is a bad character.
Oh wait.

 

[Sleek Media]

I see your Sonic and raise you a Mario.

 

[Vudujin]

I'm a Wario! I'm a gonna win!

 

[M@v]

I'm a TO for RAGE, the midwest/pittsburgh regional occuring in july. It would be a safe assumption to think this ruleset will strongly reflect the ruleset we ultimately decide on for that tournament.

 

[Life]

So whatever happened to the /hope5 banner?

 

[M@v]

still figuring that out. Tried to do it at school on photoshop but finals consumed me and didnt have time to use it before I left.

 

[M@v]

Important update: Although the stage list is still not fully decided upon, This tournament is (tentatively) a metaknight BANNED event, singles and doubles.

I thought the banning Metaknight trend was over.

 

[PGH Carroll]

I was banning metaknight before it was cool to ban metaknight

Isn't this supposed to be a given for all "serious" tournaments now? As in, "Items are always banned"?
