St.Louis Area Discussion Thread

[Hylian]

You could do PRings the way TX does them now, almost no drama cause there is no panel:

[Nuris]

well i was thinking a panel-less point system, but an arbitrarily created system based on tournament results rather than a head to head system like ELO. it kinda depends on what you want to look at

dark katma uses a gay character and does well also

loollolololloloolololloooooooooooooooo

 

[Nuris]

playing gay is pretty much the best way to win
i just need to play gayer and then i can move up in the pr :D

 

[Sage JoWii]

I'll see you guys on Tuesday @ Will's?

 

[Daniel_the_Seraph]

I'm better than Phil at the very least and he can't claim otherwise until he stops being scared of MMing me.

Like. Seriously. Step it up Phillip.

 

[Hylian]

Daniel the Seraph we still need to MM .

 

[TP]

Hey Hylian, can you make me the mod for the Ganon board? PX doesn't post there anymore, leading many members to want a new mod, and several said I should be it.

kthx

 

[Daniel_the_Seraph]

I'm down for that Hylian. I don't have any money now but I will if I ever MM Phil.

Ganon vs. Fox?

But like St. Louis never wants to play melee ever during Summer so it'll be hard to set up.

 

[Thinkaman]

Hey Hylian, can you make me the mod for the Jigglypuff board? It currently has no mod, which is appropriate since no one posts on it; I'm so lazy that it's the perfect job.

kthx

 

[MentokJebus]

I agree with JebusChris. I don't think anyone beside you have improved (at Melee) in 2 years.

what do you mean by this? i said nothing about anyone improving

IMO Jeremy > Zach > Me = GenoChris > JebusChris > Phil

and so begins the ego/butthurt train of doom.

I don't actually care too much about PRs but I mentioned what I mentioned because I'm in the middle of a HUGE squabble over on the Connecticut boards about whether money matches should count in placements, (but only 5$ and up arbitrarily), and people trying to remember stock counts and percent counts 2-3 years after the matches

huge mess.

btw for the record I think Buchbinder is better than Jeremy, but then again, i match up better against Jeremy for whatever reason

1) GenoChris >> all of us at teams

despite what you guys tell me to my face. now i'm butthurt

also get trolled binyan. obv I like melee as a game and want to improve, but short of getting bitten by a radioactive spider or getting in people's heads (CHARLES!)
reflexes and tech skillz don't magically improve

it is what it is

 

[darkatma]

dark katma uses a gay character and does well also

loollolololloloolololloooooooooooooooo

gay characters ftw
for the record i use 2 gay characters =]


Also chris, in the end, just saying you have wayy better game sense than me
and I wasn't talking bout magical improvement, tech skill is easy, just put a little bit of effort into it and it goes a long way. Weren't you the one who said you always know what you want to do but can't pull it off?


Also I think PRs are dumb sometimes too.
I'm certain I can beat about half of the people on Norcal's PR pretty solidly, but so can a lot of other players not on it.
In terms of inactive good players/good randoms, norcal's probably the best.


having the name chris makes you>>everyone at teams

 

[Lixivium]

You're right there's really no way for me to differentiate between someone else getting better and me getting worse. I've just been assuming it's me getting worse; someone could have conceivably gotten better in that time.

I'm better than Phil at the very least and he can't claim otherwise until he stops being scared of MMing me.

Sorry but you haven't played a sufficient number of matches against the rest of us to even be included in the PR.

 

[Hylian]

Omgggg I want to play all of you. The only people I've played are Chris and Josh. I hate not knowing how good everyone is lol.

 

[MetalMusicMan]

Have you guys checked the overall Brawl rankings system? It's not quite perfect yet but it looks like pretty much everyone from STL is on it. Rajam is pretty ****ed awesome for ranking pretty much everyone in the entire Smash community.

I'm only a few places away from being in the top 5% of all ranked Smashers... I was kind of surprised by that.

#229: MetalMusicMan

#273: Watkins

#278: ASC853 (looks like Cook is placed twice as two different people)

#317: Future

#471: Legan

[FightAdamantEevee]

Lol they have me twice too as FAE and FightAdamantEevee.

IM BACK IN TOWN FOR A MONTH

 

[Nuris]

all you do is talk **** but you never showed up to a smashfest during the school year like a 5 year old *****

its not that i wouldnt MM you now, its that im OVER ONE THOUSAND MILES AWAY RIGHT NOW
i dont know what you dont get about that.

if you wanna buck up and make the trip to atlantic east this summer, go ahead and i will money match you, any amount.

i on the other hand have a job, so get off my nuts

 

[Daniel_the_Seraph]

I went to a few including spring break (not that far back) at which I did pretty well against you, my only loss being my Fox (which I was using for the first time against a human) SDing on a game winning edgeguard.

I've played you quite a bit. We're pretty back and forth.

Senior year should allow me more time for smash so we'll see what happens.

The drama from the primitive PRs begins already.

 

[Nuris]

youre trying to make a case cuz you beat me while i was rusty, sandbagging, and playing ****ty tertiaries.
and that was like 4 months ago

you show up like once every three months, no one takes you seriously, and then you talk all this **** for nothing

i would be happy to put you in your place

 

[MetalMusicMan]

lmfao, Daniel the Seraph too cool.


Phil's gonna get his **** on, lmfao.

 

[MacD]

I swear you have so much potential. But you keep johning about slow reflexes are slow
BUT good game sense is good. And if macD can get good at the game, I am sure you can too.

you don't even know about old me, imma **** you up *****!!!!!

gay characters ftw
for the record i use 2 gay characters =]

2 gay characters, you're such a ***, you're like gayer than me and doh combined

Also I think PRs are dumb sometimes too.

look at me, i'm darkatma and i'm super good...

almost beating phil when he's not trying doesn't count


<333 but not really, hope you are having fun in taiwan not playing smash

 

[MentokJebus]

even the proposition and discussion of informal rankings causes drama


btw, it looks like 6*8 = Captain falcon

"look at me, i'm darkatma, and i'm super good"
I can totally imagine you saying that

but looking at the current PR, i guess you're right, i've only beaten like 4 of those ppl in tourney, i should get better



@ chris teng: naw macD just likes giving me a hard time coz he's a nublet

[Daniel_the_Seraph]

When do you come home anyway?

It would be best if I could style on you before I go back to school.

 

[Daniel_the_Seraph]

Amsah is vegan.

The more you know.

 

[Zig-Zag!]

I swear to god I will rename this thread "st.louis n00b *** discussion" if you guys don't tell me where smash is happening asap

 

[Daniel_the_Seraph]

They're too cool to play smash during the Summer apparently.

 

[Lixivium]

Yes, allow me to apologize on behalf of the St. Louis Melee scene, including the 5 people who are out of town, for being unable to cater to your whims.

I will see about dropping out of med school, getting Geno to quit his 60+ hour/week job, and tracking down Legan who hasn't played in months, so we can better accommodate someone with a history of not showing up to smashfests. Someone who probably needs to be picked up and/or given a ride home, and seems only interested in Ganon dittos, because the rest of us love them so much.

 

[Nuris]

yo zig,
im in boston
binyan is in taiwan
jeremy is in texas
lixi is busy with med school
zach doesnt have a car or set-up
geno almost never plays during the school year
random and treppy are awol
daniel just sits around and complains about how no one will play with him

MMM still hosts brawl tuesdays, and occasionally they pop out the melee disc for giggles

OOOHHH LIXI PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS

 

[Zig-Zag!]

Well!

Im going to do my best to get Geno in on somethin'. I'd like to see you Lixi if there is any chance of that in the next month. And where the hell is Legan??? I NEED to find that man.

Also, Random just had a kid but we still hang out (!!!) and treppy and I talk almost every day!

 

[darkatma]

aw shizz random has a KID now?

Yeah, sometime in July would be good because I'll doing Ambulatory (Outpatient) clinical rotations until 7/30. Meaning I don't have to work weekends, yet. After that I move to Inpatient rotations and the hours will be more limiting.

In any case, just post something here if you can get Geno or others in on something, I'll try to make it to whatever I can.

Congratulations to Random and his wife!

Dude.

Parent johns can't be helped. I'd have gone to more smashfests if I was able to. What do you propose? Killing them?

And transportation isn't an issue. I know how to use the stl metro.

Can't tell if the Ganon ditto part is trolling/ a joke but I'll bite. I need improvement on tons of matchups with Ganon and even more with Fox.

I find it hard to believe that any smashers who are in town have 0 hours during the three month period to play a game with others.

 

[Nuris]

Amsah's a ***, then.

lulwut?

 

[Daniel_the_Seraph]

Not saying other peoples' johns aren't legit just saying I occasionally made it to smashfests.

 

[Nuris]

like once every 3 months
last i checked summer is ~3 months :O
