lol considering I haven't really played this game since WTCA I think it slipped my mind. I'm going to have to find it.

I'm very interested in playing smash in the near future and attending tournaments again.
I want to meet and play all of you whom I have not met / played.
It's no mystery I'm not in Pennsylvania very often and its no secret I don't like it here very much. I do however enjoy smash brothers and I miss a lot of you.

If you're asking what the terms correspond to with smash moves,
you'll be sad to know that they don't
CHALLENG ACCEPTED
before the start of duq i will add to the list of smash terminology!
but it actually came from an incident
when i was teaching aaron a new hand shake/high five-esque thing.
we were walkin back to Liz's house from a pizza shop, and i was
demonstrating while walking backwards facing aaron
and i fell into a garbage can.

It was pretty intense
Also... cobra five into garbage can = Sheik jab into fair at super high percent. Equally ridiculous and embarrassing.

Dark puff is the alternate reality where darkrain plays puff instead of falcon and destroys everyone

I'm gonna try to come down. I have to go to my GF's roller derby game today, but if you're smashing late into the night i'll be there.

Don't be like that Renth! You can hold it together with us without having to separate like that!
Also, this reminds me of Aaron's storytelling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PToqVW4n86U&list=FL30WW3Yx_f0jOpIX8lRh_EA&index=6&feature=plpp_video
I really hope it doesn't get taken the wrong way, but I found it pretty funny.

You know what I'm just realizing? As to why there is a lot of hate in competitive smash (for which there are many reasons) is the whole "play gay" thing. I have made a comparison that I think describes it best. Look at the video of m2k playing shiek against some scrub called "you came all this way to get jabbed" and you'll see that playing like that in smash is like a hockey team playing a game with a sumo wrestler for a goalie. Now I realize there are many flaws with this comparison/analogy, like the "there are ways around it" and the "you can still win" bit, but that doesn't take away from the fact that you don't see hockey teams do it, because it's an unspoken rule not to do something that IS within the rules technically (no rule on height/size of players) that gives yourself an unfair advantage.
Thoughts?? I wanna dissect this more with you guys.

Looking at the game that way will only hinder you if you want to get better. From a competitive standpoint if the game allows you to do it then it is legal. This is changed slightly by the community deeming certain aspects of the game as game breaking. This isn't so much about how gay something is but if it takes away from competitive play.
The sumo wrestler as a goalie analogy is more like if I took ryu from SF instead of falcon. It doesn't really work.
Yes there are thing that are frustrating in this game, but if it is pissing you off it probably means it is a good strategy. Dumb things happen to everyone that plays a game competitively, and what is considered dumb or gay usually depends on the group of players.
At the end of the day smash brothers is a zero sum game. You can't really fault someone for going for the safe, guaranteed, or "gay" option if they are playing to win. Which all of us who take this game even remotely seriously are trying to do. Yes they could go for some crazy edgeguard with a bunch of technical flash, but if they miss the other person is just going to kill them for it. Because you're not just going to let them combo you. They've got to work for it which in my opinion makes combos that much more satisfying when they happen. So when you finally do get that crazy combo it feels good rather than handed to you.
If you can get past things being gay, or feeling like you're getting jipped by the game you'll start to figure out how to beat it. When i'm not tired or hungry i've become pretty good at letting the gay things that happen to me go and accept that it was my fault for falling into the situation in the first place.
In the M2K video he does what all falcons dread, jab reset and tech chase. If we just said, "don't do this because it is dumb and unfun for falcon players" we would've never figured out that you can SDI the jab to get out of it. Because we allowed it it evolved the matchup.
I can talk for hours on the subject because this is something i've thought a lot about. Especially as a falcon main. But players like mango and s2j can get around the things i think are gay or unfun so that just means i need to step it up rather than complain. (which i do, and i'm really trying to stop.)
Hope this helps, and i hope the tone isn't too aggressive. ; )
