The competitive SSBM discussion thread

Lmfao. First descriptive sentence i read on that page:

You know the holes behind your computer hidden by a metallic rectangle?

WHAT.

That thread is mostly just saying "get a capture card, not much else you can do". ;-;

You make it sound so dirty~. Kinky.

Actually i was noting how horribly unspecific it is. o.o

Actually, reading all of the guides there. Only options you have:

1) Capture Card (easiest)

or

2. Direct Feed by use of a digital video camera.

Certain cameras (i know for a fact Cannon can) can use the same cables that you use to run video from your camera to the TV, can take the signal and reverse it, through the camera, and out the FireWire port. If you are looking for a camera that can do this, look for "Direct Line Input" and IEEE.1394 "FireWire" ports. USB 2.0 has been getting more use, but firewire is still the king. If you are looking through the menu of the camera, under VCR mode, under VCR set-up, look for an option that says AV>DV OUT --- That is the way to turn it on for Canon, and it should be similar for other cameras. This way you can use the camera as a bridge between your analog input device (VCR, older camera, GameCube, etc) into your computer. Also, assuming you won't always have your computer right next to you when recording, footage can be saved to the digital media of a camcorder (MiniDV is the popular choice) and then uploaded later with little to no loss of quality.

Wrong. There is no such thing as a "garbage" character. They are all special in their own way. The creator of the series would rather you didn't bash his game in such a way.

You mean the same assholes that designed Brawl?

You can say that they're all "special in their own way", but a retard by any other name is just as stupid. Likewise, when characters are different, some are bound to be generally better than others. A poorly balanced game is one where the tiers are widely spread and the bad characters get laughed at instead of taken seriously. Brawl is even more guilty of this than Melee.

This. Nobody uses Jigs anymore, not in Brawl anyways. /sadface

Edit ; Do enjoy Brawl if I am drunk and just playing for suicides or luls. Other than that, I prefer my wife Melee.

I'm immediately learning how to do this.

GUESS I'M SCREWED.

Bomb sure has great KB power.. lol.. Young Link's and Link's in Melee only used Bombs in conjunction with Boomerangs just to accumulate damage or to force space animals to Shine, just so the Link could set up an attack or grab. >:

Did I mention the creator of Smash Bros also said that it was never designed to be competitive?

You're doin' it wrong.

Whether it's designed that way or not, they are getting more sales because of the 'community' that formed because of it. Why would they complain? Yes, I know it was never intended. Same can be said of Pokemon, never meant to be, but can be. They get higher sales because of it, until I see Nintendo or the creators specifically stating something near the lines of "It's illegit and we do not appreciate the increase in sales due to this" or something of the like, it's fair-game.

EDIT ; Secondly, if you're going to debate about the legitimacy of the metagame, do it in another thread and stop derailing this thread. Make your own.

The way to play bowser.

Also, I recommend people watch Falcomist vs Dashizwiz for epic set.

And please take that competitive vs non competitive argument out of here. That discussion is just getting old.

He doesn't have to. You went out of your way to make this the "official" SSBM discussion thread, so really, anything related to it can be posted. I agree that wavedashing and L-sticking ruined the scene for Melee.

That's not a combo, sorry.

"I don't play this game but I like complaining about people who do"

Joke vid was a joke.

"I don't play this game but I like complaining about people who do"

I didn't know I needed to be a wave-dashing Smashboarder to consider myself a competitive gamer.

Every year around Christmas time, one of my closest and oldest friends invites about a dozen people over to his house to just sit around and play video games. It's probably the nerdiest event of the year, but it's also one of my favorites because of the "Had to be there" moments and laughs that are pretty much ensured from the moment I receive the invitation to his home. It's awesome because everyone brings their systems, and we usually nominate two or three people to bring extra TVs so we can make sure everybody is playing something. At the end of it all, nearly every main system from every gen is in my friend's basement. Out of all of the games we play, we devote one night entirely to Melee. It's hilarious for a while, and then things start getting intense. It's always a good time. Any character. All items. Probably not Final Destination.

What point you were trying to make?

Why are you and Mark always trying to get your butt in threads where you clearly know you're going to fuel some sort of argument? Especially if not in Funhouse. If this was Funhouse, I would LOL and play back. This isn't a joke. If you want to start a thread about casual gaming, whether it be Smash or whatever else, go ahead and do so. Stop derailing the thread. You're not helping anything. Nor are you contributing.

Why aren't I?

Because you shun strategies and techniques just because they're nerdy, and because you purposely introduce large elements of luck into your game.

Not saying it's wrong to be a casual.
