BROTHER! I live on, through this SMASH!

McFlynn

@Munkus Beaver Wanna go a few rounds?

Wyborn

No these are 100% controller problems; it was doing it in the character select menu and it was doing it in the screen where I was whupping sandbag

May need to let this thing charge some, or try another controller

That could be it. One of the earlier PA tournaments I was getting my butt kicked by someone when I suddenly realized my controlled was possessed and charging it exorcised it.

I just now noticed this.

You still there, @McFlynn ?

McFlynn

Sorry, just got off. I need to go back to being productive now.

GreasyKidsStuff

Here's the only saved match between @Munkus Beaver and I that was short enough to go on Youtube

Welcome to the space jam

Wyborn

Yo those spikes were SICK

GreasyKidsStuff

I wish uploads didn't take so long. I'd put up a lot more.

Wyborn

Who wants to have some fights

I'll hop back on for a few. Make a room?

Wyborn

You make the room, I'll be right there

GreasyKidsStuff

hrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Wyborn

Toon Link is 7 years too early

GreasyKidsStuff

i almost had you, Monado boy

Wyborn

Charizard hits too hard IMO, nerf now

Gundi

You know for the next Smash I'd really really like if the alternate Link version was based off Majora's Mask, or possibly some of the handheld games.

GreasyKidsStuff

can we talk about how sick that spike was

it was pretty sick

too bad I couldn't pull it off a second time

You mean like in Melee

And I mean Toon Link represents all the handheld games of the past decade except for Link Between Worlds

Gundi

What I meant is like... if said Link actually used some of the lesser known items and abilities from Majora's Mask or the handheld games. Link has had a lot of tools over the years, and I'd like to see more of them in Smash.

GreasyKidsStuff

aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhh

edit: I'm gonna try regular Link just for funsies

Wyborn

Man

Ness's spike is just not as good as Samus's

GreasyKidsStuff

hahaha that wasn't fun at all

Wyborn

OK uh

If it's not fun then I think I got one more in me

GreasyKidsStuff

oh no no no i was just referring to my "playing Link for funsies" comment

i'm good for a couple more at least

edit: goddamn i keep nailing those spikes! feels SO GOOD

GreasyKidsStuff

GGs Wyborn!! I'm gonna go back to what I was doing before you came looking for games: watch Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods

I feel like if I can get Samus' spike consistently, my game with her is going to skyrocket. Thanks for the practice.

Also, and this sort of goes to Munkus as well, I'm never, ever salty about these games. Even if I get completely wrecked, I'm not taking it too hard. It's all fun.

Wyborn

Battle of the Gods is quality smash bros. anime

McFlynn

Anyone up for a little smashing?

Munkus Beaver

Maaaaybe. Give me a second.

McFlynn

The length of time I'll be smashing depends entirely on how long my wife takes to do her hair. Once she's done its time for Smash lessons.

Munkus Beaver

I do not know what you mean by that.

Getting on.

Munkus Beaver

@McFlynn I am having issues connecting to your room.

Try connecting to mine.

McFlynn

My wife has renewed interest in Smash, so I've been teaching her how to play. She has close to zero video game experience, so its pretty interesting to watch her learn it. She's seen my replays and stuff, so she has these little moments where she can pull off crazy stuff because she knows what is possible, even if she can't really reproduce it consistently.

McFlynn

I think I've got time for two more matches.

Wyborn

@Speed Racer I thought you might appreciate some good Kirby matches

I got better against the guy as I went along and won about as much as I lost (with Ganondorf, anyway), but I thought you might like to see some tech by a guy who at least started off beating my ass up and down the block

Speed Racer

what sucks is that, for the most part, he's not doing much that i don't do

the main big differences tech-wise are he's using kirby's jab a lot (which I'm just terrible at in general) and he's using kirby's nair, which, i gotta get over my preconceptions of it being a horrible move like it was in melee and brawl

but for the most part he's just reading you better and reacting smarter

Wyborn

I don't think I've ever seen you do a DThrow into a FAir

And his chase game is pretty different!

Might still be worth checking out

i gotta actually look at 'em damage wise

i've been going for the up-air because i was under the impression that it did more damage but that might be wrong

against not-ganondorf i usually do the fair because the uair won't hit at low percents on lighter dudes

Wyborn

The way he's using it, it's not so much about the damage as about the fact that it's very nearly a true combo into another DThrow. Kirby's FAir has next to no landing lag, or looks like, and Ganondorf has almost nothing that comes out as fast as Kirby's grab. It's a really brutal combo against the green guy in particular but it seems good against heavies in general

Speed Racer

part of it is that i'm relying on muscle memory from kirby's brawl grab combos, there might be some minute differences that make different attack strings better in sm4sh

McFlynn

That's one perk I've had. I haven't played smash brothers since 2004 and I thought that was a huge disadvantage a few months ago, but I also don't have to deal with a character behaving differently than my game-muscle-memory thinks.
