I know, but our town is small and doesn't get nice things, like good food. :v
What's farmed close to where you live? Maybe you can't have as many nice things as you'd like but if you can get the freshest stuff you can then that's something good you can work with to make yourself something nice.

Ya see, I have the most epic sushi buffet ever here in Tampa. EVER!!!!

The pic didn't open for me but if it was the seafood delight sub, it's imitation crab and that's it.

Best all you can eat Japanese I've ever been to was in Hong Kong. Like $25 per person but they have the fattiest sashimi and king crab and alcohol... so good!

Love jumping isn't that great. It's probably useful for recovering when you don't think you can make it back/potential edgehog against you (upwards diagonally). Also, maybe escaping Pikachu's fthrow to up smash at early % but even then the window to activate love jump without getting hit is really small. Best way to practise it is to create a custom stage with spikes as the ground so you can practise it over and over.

Nice activity :) especially for 4AM.
I need to integrate love jumping into my game. Mocha and Milky taught me but I need practice before I use it right.
Yeah, don't go crazy with it. Being too predictable with Love Jumps definitely has its consequences.

Also, you guys need to go to Brazil if you want the best sandwiches.
Misto quente <3

Ahh, I would love to go to Brazil. Only been outside the country twice so far -- once in the 8th grade (Paris, Madrid, Rome), and once for spring break sophomore year of college to the Bahamas.

The lottery was crazy high in Philly recently too.... dunno if anybody won it yet, but for a few days, literally EVERYONE I knew was buying lottery tickets. That industry must make so much ****ing money on people's false hopes and dreams lol.

In CA the lottery companies have to donate a portion of their earning from each drawing to a school district or a non profit so at least that's more revenue for whatever is underfunded 'round these parts. But yeah, the lotto companies make a killing off people's dreams of winning more money than they need.

Lottery in Mexico says it has a pot of about 55M USD
But being a government branch, nobody trusts them...

Who's to say the lotto's even real? The 'winners' could be a big coverup so they can scam people. I don't know anyone who's won.
Hang on someone's at the door...

Edit it's a bunch of guys in suits with black sunglasses; I think they're FBI! OMG they're dragging me away! Tell the world my story-

Yeah, it's not like the government lottery overseers team up with the drawing broadcasters to fake the drawing and keep the equivalent about $14 million dollars all to themselves. Or do they?

EDIT: The link's in Spanish but w/e.

Canadian lottery winnings aren't taxed, but the maximum winnings (50 million) are still pathetic compared to what Americans win after all deductions.

If I won the lottery, I'd buy so much cologne :) I would definitely buy necessities then save the winnings for when I really need it. My impulse purchases can be funded by the interest I'd get by saving?

Same here as long as I don't get poisoned or something not fun happens to me just like it's happened to people who have won the lottery and have become miserable because of it.

Guys, teach me how to play Zelda. I actually use her sometimes now because of how easy it is to switch off of her when i team with a sheik.

What kind of setups does she have at low and mid percents? I like ftilt->uptilt/smash but that only seems to work at like 0.

This is the first time I've had a social title named after me Embarrass.

This threads active :). IDK what I'd do if I won the lottery. Give most of it away...
So I popped your social title cherry? Nice. :smirk:

If I won the lottery, I'd give a good portion of it away too. I'd move to Texas, buy a decent sized apartment (prob 2 BR/2 bath but not super huge), buy a small hybrid car, pay off my student loans, and keep enough to live comfortably for like ~5 years. Then split the rest amongst friends & family.

I'd still work though, just not as much.

There's the stickied research thread if you haven't seen that yet: http://smashboards.com/threads/the-great-fairy-fountain-research-thread.290399/

Those combos/setups are all still legit. But I've been retired since '10, so I'm sure one of the better, current Zeldas have come up with fancier moves by now. Just suggesting a good resource since this thread's a little slow. The video thread might have some of Scary or Mocha's more recent stuff too.

With Zelda, play friendlies with lots of people but not enough to learn how Zelda works because if that happens, you're screwed :( Zelda has jab to dash attack/grab and down tilt stuff (to another dtilt usually).

Went Zelda today and here are the results: http://smashboards.com/threads/b-c-brawl-monthlies-apr-13-2013.335663/ Videos to come when they come.

Dug this up... hopefully you guys like it and please comment/critique! http://www.twitch.tv/captainlpika/b/390539784 at 4:23:00. There's some salt explanation and a brief explanation of our playstyles a minute in :)

My doubles partner was a really good Melee player :p

We talked about Sandwiches and I'm surprised nobody mentioned the tasty Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich.
No.

No.

No.

No.

****ing NO.

If you call it a "Philly cheesesteak sandwich" or a "Philly steak & cheese" or any of that ****, it's not a ****ing cheesesteak. Real cheesesteaks are ONLY found in Philly (making the Philly part redundant), and they're not sandwiches. sjdahksdhwqihdoiqwhdoashdoasd ahhh sorry hometown pride got the best of me.

Doesn't the term Philly cheesesteak come from a frozen brand of sandwiches from some decade? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

Zelda vs MK= pray to the goddesses because it's bad.
I'd say for any terrible MU, attack fast without committing to lag, mix-up as much as possible and only accept gambits that have a very good chance of succeeding.

TBH, I don't like Subway's Pcheesesteak. It's too much extra money for a meh sub. I often go for their footlong, wheat, chicken+bacon with lettuce, spinach, tomato, cucumber, ranch, salt+pepper. :lol:

Big Philly Chessesteak is so not worth it at Subway lol. It just isn't lmao.

As far as mk is co concerned, stay as grounded as possible. If they take to the air, watch their jump count and stay close so you can attempt to punish on his bad air speed. At mid percent, I look at it as "you likely will have to take a chance", going for a powershield on something, then drop shield and Dtilt lock. It'll be your best utility if you can make it happen. Should that never come, try to catch stuff in fsmash and of course remain random. Recovery isn't the worst since it is a little hard to gimp Zelda at higher damage. Low % gimps are scary but mid to high, you will make it back. Just have your DI ready since you're likely to get hit upon recovery. Patience is a premium so try to play to your strengths and try to get into a groove.
