Super Smash Brothers Thread: 64, Melee, Brawl, & Smash 4 (Casual and Competitive Discussion)
Press Start is this weekend (9th + 10th) Link to site
Notable entrees: Mango, Leffen, M2k, Hbox, Axe, Hax, Lucky, Westballz, S2J
mango about to close out (arguably) the most dominant tournament run of all time. its looking more like mango, armada, and pp are in a class of their own when they are feeling themselves. evo is going to be ridic.
edit: mango's losers run after showing up an hour late to the tourney and automatically being placed in losers: Jace, Westballz, Hax, Leffen, Shroomed, Lucky, Hbox, Axe, and a 6-0 victory against fly.
ironically, if mango hadn't been placed in losers he probably would have taken out fly in r2.
I met westballz at paragon briefly because a mutual friend wanted to smoke him out, heheh. West played so fucking insane that I'm never leaving falco as my main, ever. Also, Angry-Sadbox was the realest shit ever. What's cool about living in Orlando/UCF is that there's weeklies across the street from campus and big names show up there a lot - Top 64 names like Plup, Colbol, and uh.. I guess eikelmann. I went a couple of times and ended up beating this brawl player in friendlies, not a huge deal. Plup is a beast with Sheik and I never see him pull out samus anymore. Colbol is pretty much Florida's best Fox. Eikelmann is a Ganon demigod (too bad bizz dumped on him at apex, he's really good)
I've met Eikelmann before. He drove up to a North Florida regional back in February. Really good Ganon player.
He is a very good set of me recently that I ended up winning that I shouldn't have.

1:15 is a good combo i pulled off
what's more disheartining for Aly is that this would've been the first set he has every beaten me in.
Went to Hbox's house yesterday for his 24 hr stream marathon and played a bunch of PM and melee. My hands were sore after like 6 hours, but I feel like I understand the game a lot more now. Drove a guy named DarkSonic there and he just destroyed with Marth and ZSS: constant punishing, constant styling, etc. Everyone there was really friendly, really cool.... and really good. I took a couple of matches with Falco and maybe one? with captain falcon, and had some fun with G&W (at one point I was getting destroyed and said "if there was ever a time I needed a 9, it's now," and then I hit one... hype moment).
Hungrybox is pretty cool. I forgot he interviewed Fantano, so I was pretty surprised he had good music taste. Ended up giving him Jenny Death as a graduation/hosting present.
Please don't watch me on stream though, lol.... I got bodied by a drunk uuaa and I can't play on a monitor, lmfao. I'm still really new to the game so it was pretty embarrassing just getting bodied on stream.
- DarkSonic vs Colbol (best Fox in Florida)
Falco is too hard to take seriously for me. I have fun playing around with him for sure but when his meta is just shine dair and randy fsmashes it's hard to dedicate yourself to playing lame. He requires a bit of stupid technology and patience to master.
Switched to Doc/Falcon. My Doc is pretty damn good atm compared to anyone else I try to play and falcon is my "fuck it" secondary.
Went over to Eikelmann's today to take his 26-character challenge. Got 0-26'd., even though I hit a few funny 9s as G&W (the jankiest character in any smash game).
I have a lot of work to put in.
Also, FUCK FALCO I hate this character so much and I do not want to main this fucking big bird shitface
lol damn son
nah jk Eikelmann is pretty good. i played him a few times and friendlies/tourney sets and he beat me pretty convincingly
he got hella salty at that tournament and spit on my friend after he lost a money match to him
he apologized after so i have a lot of respect for him. he is a pretty decent guy

Spit?? Like hocked a loogie or just salty spitoon accident spit?
I'm probably gonna see him at the weekly today if I feel like going. Wonder if Hbox is gonna go after winning GOML

eikelmann was hella drunk (i took a couple shots with him) and iirc he spit his drink at him.
It's more of both the moon playing terrible and saus playing excellent all tourney. Leaning more towards the moon choking hard on the edgegaurds.
Also, Marth has been the links best top tier match up as proven by Axe doing pretty much the same to Tai consistently with YL.

They can be a spacing nightmare for characters trying to get in with full jump aerials. Bomb punishes are mad good.
Ya'll have prolly seen these, but some great Link/YL combo videos came out recently.
