So...

How could you get them all together? I mean as far as I know, you can't even do it with electrons, so how could you do it with protons?

That...that statue is epic...truly it is.

nice.

Hey russ. I'd LOVE to add you on brawl, but I have very little time to play (considering I've been getting a lot of those "think of your future, you can do so much better than game tester" speeches"😉. Also, my PC is still not fully up to par because the reapir guy hasn't come back to finish the job. I'm litteraly sitting on a Pc that can only use the internet, open Office, and RMXP (trial version, it'll blow up in about 30 days).

I could try to get his new wireless router up and running and then connect it to my Wii, but...

Once I can brawl online, I will PM you. I just hope it doens't end up like with Shadow tiger, in which I was highly anticipating a good brawl, only to find out that I pack it up at 9:00, while he boots up at 11:00... >_>

Reminds me, I should add both of you guys. I need some decent human competition. My siblings are getting a bit boring...

I know what you mean. My brothers the kind of guy that falls for anything. I'll be charging up a side smash, and he'll run right into it. Get's pretty boring.

265 pages and 5,283 posts not counting mine. Moo you have started a revolution.

Torn shoulders suck the monkey's balls.

Yeah, its pretty filthy, especially the close up crazy detailed ones.

I remember one episode where Ren became a hermit, and there was a dead hermit with a big ol' vat of beer, and it clearly said BEER on it.

[edit]WTF? All of a sudden an ass load of posts just appeared. Time warp!?[/edit]

I probably won't be free to Brawl until a while. I have tons of work to do for a single class. Though I'm sure I could get on for an hour or two. But if there's lag, I cut it. I get plenty of lag-free Brawl at College, and it's spoiled me rotten.

Plus, Melee is forever. <3

I have to say, Melee has a lot of fun stuff, but I like the feel of Brawl better. Melee you fall a lot quicker, and it just feels different when you play it. Plus they made Ness a lot weaker in Melee. 😞

And I agree about lags, I can't stand them.

I go to College with a surprising amount of Melee professionals, (Y'know, the kinds of people who practically live at MLG, and there is no question that they can hold their own.) and about three fourths of them prefer Melee. They can excel at Brawl, but their heart still holds Melee to be the love of their lives. I'm still kinda in that same boat, really.

I mean, hell, .. there's a lot you can't do in Brawl. Number one on the list? L-Canceling. I'm serious. I wavedash as necessary, (Overexcessively as Samus and Marth.) but L-Canceling is what can make or break the match well before your usage of wavedashing. The dodge style, I'm okay with. Whereas to avoid a post-juggling return rape, I'd air dodge in brawl and bypass the attack, .. in Melee, I'd just counter with my own attack, often to the side after a fakeout. And then you know what? You L-Cancel when you land, and you'd be fine.

Another thing I dislike about Brawl: Samus, Link(s), Ivysaur, Shiek, and Olimar all have a chain grab onto ledge ability. The problem is, it only grabs the ledge; not the wall itself underneath the ledge. In Melee, you could dodge toward the platform first and then follow up with the hookshot / beam or whatever. Not in Brawl. In Melee, if you press down to release the platform and immediately follow up with a sex kick, you'd be golden. In Brawl, there's a delay between pressing down and actually releasing. It messes things up very badly.

Brawl has some serious technical issues. The game runs much slower than melee, and often times feels delayed as far as actions go. Melee had very low rates of AI retardation, but it seems that the AI tards out a lot in brawl. Espeicaly any AI character with a transformational final smash (Fox and crew, Ganondorf, Bowser). They always seem to get stuck :/

And Russ, I think Ness was stronger in Melee. His PK Flash was much bigger, and his bat packed a nasty punch. I think he is slower in Brawl. And, for some reason, they moved his hat to the other side.

In general, I think Melee was faster paced, and a lot harder against someone who really knows what they're doing. Brawl is awesome, don't get me wrong, but it feels like they kind of missed the mark in the transition to some epic "story driven" fighter.

It's kind of funny that this came up, since last night, me and a buddy booted up Melee for the first time in a while. That was when we noticed the changes 😮

ST, you forgot, Lucas also has a chain grab onto ledge ability. Go rope snake! 😃

Anyways, Melee was always my least favorite Smash Bros game. I know it sounds weird, but Melee just plays differently than SSB and Brawl do, and I can never get used to it.

And on a side note, Melee's adventure mode sucks compared to Brawl's. 😉

As for Ness, his PK Flash attack is stronger, and his bat is slightly stronger, but his bat is slower, and many of of his moves (PK Thunder and PK thunder knockback especially) are nothing compared to what they were in SSB or what they are in Brawl.

So I made a home made pizza, and it turned out a lot smaller and thicker than I was hoping. Its still awesome though.

That + an A-Treat Birch Beer and I'm off to explore the Capital Wasteland summore.

ST, you forgot,

Anyway, moral decrepitism aside, I'm also looking forward to making some custom pizza this weekend. Braided String Cheese is a remarkable ingredient to use. I chose the word "remarkable" for this purpose due to how common other types of cheeses are in use on pizza. I'll try for a touch of originality in mine. Green olives couldn't hurt either. They really bring out the flavor.

Ha, I was at the store today and saw the most brilliant product placement ever - Hershey bars next to the *ahem* feminine hygiene products. I LOL'd. Well, not really, but I LOL'd on the inside.

I actually like Brawl's slower pace. Melee is too...manic, hyper, it feels like a constant reflex-fest, as opposed to a strategic fighting game.

Oh, man, best random pizza related story, seeing as we're talking about pizza.

I'm at my friends house for the night, right. We're online, go to the Pizza Hut website to order. It's got all the forms; topping,s style, etc.
Than, at the bottom, there's a box that says other, like, cut into squares or whatever.
I look at him. He looks at me. We grin.
...
Hit send.

30 seconds, 30 seconds later, I kid you not, we get a call.
"Umm, yeah, hi, did you guys just place an order? Yeah, um...
cut into circles? ...
How do you expect us to do that?"

Ah, the Internet really has revolutionized pizza-ordering. Now, instead of spending ten minutes trying to clarify your order and having the person on the phone get it wrong, only to have them screw it up anyway after they finally read it right, you can just send your order over the Internet, no time, no hassle, and they can botch it without the need for you to spend 10 minutes trying to make sure they don't botch it.

Ordering pizza is a ripoff of the largest magnitude. There are only two pizzas you should ever even consider; Tombstone Supreme frozen pizza and Little Ceasers Hot n' Ready. Both are cheap, both are awesome.

Little Ceasers is awesome. My family noticed that on our vacation to Florida to feed the entire family of five cost 27.50 at McDonalds, but only 12 bucks at Little Ceasers.
It may not be great pizza, but it's good pizza, and it's good pizza for crazy cheap.

Pizza used to be my favorite food in the universe. Sadly, it turns out I am allergic to it. 😞

I like some pizza. But only the stranger kinds. Cheese=bad. Greek=good.

Quoted for truth. And emphasis; a little bit of emphasis.

That's a little emphasis. I'd hate to see a lot!

So have you ever had one of those moments where you feel like throwing you video game system out a window? I'm having one of those right now. Kirby Super Star Ultra. They decided to add a new mode called "The True Arena". Ten bosses, all made harder than normal, and five healing items that replinish 1/6 of your health each. 😞

Yup, Etrian Odyssey II. It's insanely hard...but a good insanely hard. The kind where when you stand up top throw the DS away, you can feel the burn through your veins.

I hate how they took out the Samurai Showdown and the thing where you crack the planet in two. I could sit there and break worlds apart with my bare hands and slice ninjas without even thinkin how. It was just plain simple fun.

X freaking D. That is awesome.

@ aces: The samurai and planet mashing game are still in. You just need to beat pretty much all the other modes, and then it opens up.

@ Russ and Amaster: Barring major lag issues, I think I could give you two a good match. My main opponent is a freaking pro. I only beat him once in a blue moon. As a result, I've had to really step up my game to avoid an embarrasing 4/4 stock to 0/4 stock scenario. I've gotten pretty good at Brawl. And if you tick me off... :evil: I go to my tension relief character. Old Pika is very good for that.... :P

Oh, and I've got my younger brother playing now too! ...unforunately, he is NOT a gamer by any standard. I think I will have to always be teamed with him, instead of against him. That, and he needs to learn how to recover. As soon as he goes over the edge, he freaks, and dies. Even with Pit, he panics!

I had a Brawl n00b go under FD the other day like that. She fell, flapped all the way to the left under the stage, and we were all shouting "UP B!!! UP B!!!!" at the same time, and she hit it, and went clear under the stage and onto the opposite ledge. We applauded her. Then someone was an ass and smashed her off stage. 😞

Even with Pit? Wow sounds like he needs some Eye of the Tiger accompanied training montage, so he can train up and beat the champ, some local bully, in a glorious match.

Yeah, I've usually used Meta Knight, but like three weeks ago I realized that I was really good with Sonic, so I've been training with him lately.

Personally, whenever I need training montage music, I simply turn to this.

Dark Elf, Final Fantasy 4. Then, after finally beating him, I suddenly lost all motivation to even play the game. I dunno why. Final Fantasy feels too simplistic compared to Mother 3, after playing it.

Speaking of Mother 3, it does seem to have some annoyingly difficult boss every five steps. Oh well.

And, I'd also like to bring attention to two Mario Galaxy stars: Bouldergeist Daredevil Run, and Luigi's Purple Coins. Evil. The three Green Star galaxies are cakewalk compared to these two.

LUIGI'S PURPLE COINS!! WHERE! *looks around frantically* KEEP THEM AWAY, KEEP THEM AWAY!

And yet...and yet...I find myself drawn to that level. Even though I never get more than two thirds through without dying (except for that one time) it's kinda....fun?
