Super smash bros melee!

Dracucard

I'm aware that a post similar to this has already been made,however that was some time ago so i am just seeing if the interest is still there. im basically wondering if anybody would be interest in playing melee. casuals first and then maybe tournaments. From what ive seen in xgc i dont think they have wiis, and i assume they wouldnt let you set one up so i wouldn't be sure if that location would work for it. Anyway if the wii thing doesn't work i could always bring in my laptop with the N64 smash bros(gamecube emulator would kill it:eek:) to xgc.

So... anybody interested in some smash bros(Falcon ....Punch!!!!!!!:p)



*any recommendations on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated

Sisko

I'm not into the game myself but I'll do anything to encourage those who are get something going.

Didnt know you could get a version of it going on a laptop , that's sweet and sounds like a decent option for XGC

BourketheJerk

I'd definitely be interested in playing some smash bros, not sure how to go about it though

chopperbyrne

Just bring a Gamecube into XGC and leave it under the table.

As long as you pay for the time, they don't care what you use really

UberPrinny_Baal

Melee is my favourite fighting game. I'd love to play.

I can also bring anything as required.

Xinkai

Mike i can hook you up with a pretty good few brawl players, my friends, they usually have 12h overnighters in the XGC, i'll let you know when the next one is on. I'll tell them theres there another SSB head in our community looking to play too.

Melee and Brawl are too very different beasts.

I'd rather Melee simply because I was a waster college student when it came out, and I had a lot of time to play it.

When Brawl came out I had a job and a helluva lot less time to play games, so I never got the chance to get into it a fraction as much.

Awesome man

UberPrinny_Baal Its my favorite too

i have a cube and 2 (maybe 3 ill have to look) pads. it would be cool to do team matches as well as 1 on 1,so if anybody has a pad they could bring that would be great

UberPrinny_Baal

I have some pads. If you're just planning on bringing one machines, there won't be any problems there.

Beggars can't be choosers y'know.scientrific fact.

YES! Would love to play some Smash, havent played that game in years now, UberPrinny hosted 2 tournaments over in UCD (or was it DCU? I cant remember which). Would need to find my controller though, its been years since I needed to use my GC controller.

I have a USB controller for PC's that I used to use for Smash 64, its not great though, only has a D-Pad, no stick, but I wouldn't mind playing that game again. I could bring a Wii as well. I have a Gamecube but not too sure where all the cables are.

So, Smash 64, Melee or Brawl Im up for it all. Especially Melee.

Just as soon as Im done with this LC.

Robbknoll

Id travel up from Limerick for this God i love the series!

UberPrinny_Baal

We should pick a day where we're all coming and agree to bring equipment.

Since Inferno for SSFIV is on this Saturday and the place is going to be packed, I don't think trying to play Melee that day would be terribly successful.

But if we want to do it on one of the other casual days when things are a bit less mad, I'm always eager to play some Melee and Smash some peeps.

Dracucard

Ok so who whould be interesdted in trying to do this on saturday. ill bring a game cube and 4 pads(and the game:P)

Xinkai

I'm **** but i'll jump in for a few games.

Dracucard

I really wana get people to do this.what day is good for people? im good for. . . well any day but Wednesday :P. so lets get smashin people

UberPrinny_Baal

I was gonna come in today but I've fallen ill.

I'll let you know next time I'm heading in.

Zaffy

Damn! Missed this!

I play brawl, but always wanted to get into Melee.

GorySnake

Next weeks no good, but the week after that I can play. Until then enjoy some Melee footage of me getting raped:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdRcLFWSjAo

Final round where I get 4-stocked was uploaded by a friend, who's account I think has been deleted.

Im the Marth player.

UberPrinny_Baal

Based on the rankings decided by the Tir Na Smash Tournaments, you're definitely #2, but Aidan is still #1.

Even at that I can beat him some of the time, so I imagine you can too.

Looking forward to seeing if the other guys on here got game

GorySnake

Looking back on those videos, Im pretty sure Aidan went easy on me, I made so many mistakes, and rolled way too much, easy punish for him everytime.

I improved since then but I havent played in a long time so Im a little rusty, got some games of brawl going with a friend of mine but I couldn't find my gc controller so I had to use the Wiimote + Nunchuck combo, which sucked. Need a new brawl main, Zelda is apparently useless.

Haha, Bad news for me then, I've only gotten worse.

My Melee disc spun itself to death from overuse shortly after TnS1, so I haven't played since then, with the exception of TnS2.

My girlfriend actually bought me a new mint copy last week, so I should practice up.

GorySnake

Popped it in tonight out of boredom and still able to Wavedash and SHFFL. Brawl got so many advanced techniques since the last time I played, Smashboards is now full of lingo I dont understand. Looking into either maining:
Diddy (Banana lockdown is ridiculous)
Pit (stupidly good projectile + recovery)
or Wolf (Up Taunt)

I dont think you and I have ever had a team game together, gotta get some 2v2's going at the next casuals as well.

So am I #3? I'm Liam (Peach) I'm on for some smash most definitely, have 2 buddies who are pretty good too. Trouble is travelling from Cork so I'd need notice and motivation. Could perhaps bring a system and a disc or two.

Gotten a lot better with my float cancels and have learnt some form of edge play >_<

GorySnake

I'll most likely be at XGC this weekend, and if Prinny or Dracucard are definitely coming, I'll bring a Wii to play Melee/Brawl. I think bringing our old Smash scene back through casuals at XGC is a good idea, will also help expand the Irish Fighting Game scene as a whole. I'll talk to Lynkx over the week, see if he's interested in coming

chopperbyrne

Go to Q-Con in Belfast on Sunday to play some Smash.

It'll only be brawl though.

Also last year at least the competition was 4 ways with items on so me and my barge pole were elsewhere.

GorySnake

Just wondering, how many people here play Smash? It's my favourite fighting game (will murder anyone who calls it a party game lol) and I'd like to see its scene expand here.

And I have no chance of making it to Belfast.

And yet another edit: I forgot the Day in the Park fundraiser is this Saturday, which Im not sure if I'll go to that yet, Wednesdays dont work for Dracucard and next Saturday is Inferno Ten. So we'll have to see how things pan out for Smash.

Kold

Well I play Melee several times a week still with a couple of friends. Don't know if you played Michael (Samus) at the last tournament? Also, my friend Chris is a great Falco. Just dying to play new people with different characters. Have been practicing CF and Ganon just to make it still interesting for myself.

Well if you want to start up a Smash scene, then visiting people who are running and playing in a Smash event would be something I'd consider quite important.

Every time I've gone to Belfast for DragonSlayers events there have been people playing Smash 64, Melee and Brawl.

Getting to know these people can only help.

Kold

So... Tournament?

GorySnake

I think it'll be better to run Smash casuals during XGC casuals, and see how much interest is there before we try any tournaments. If theres any casuals next mid-week, I'll bring equipment.

UberPrinny_Baal

If we want the smash scene to take off, realistically someone needs to be in charge of organising casuals and tournaments.

I ran Tir Na Smash 1 & 2, but I'm afraid I don't have the same free time that I used to, so I'd be more than happy to pass the torch to someone else.

Who wants to step forward?

Kold

Location puts me and the 2 or 3 other Smash players I know down here out. I assume most people on this thread are from around the Pale.

Let us know how you get on at XGC though, there was a decent turnout at the last TnS. I could add about 2 to the roster. Aidan also seemed to have one or two mates that didn't show, including a particularly good Marth.

Oh hey Liam, I missed this post somehow. How are you doing?

There were only 2 tournaments, so I don't think the rankings really count for a whole lot, but both years Aidan and Nathan came #1 and #2 respectively, so until someone can come along and dethrones these guys, they get to keep their "top 2" status I think.

I came #3 first year and #4 the second year, but I never got to play you, which was really disappointing because I'd never seen a good Peach before, but we didn't come up against each other in the tournament, and things were too hectic for me to sit you down for a few casual matches afterwards!

Kold

Well I've been practising since I got sat by Aidan, it's hard to do when I don't know any good Marths or Sheiks (Michael plays Sheik sometimes but it's nowhere as good as his Samus).

Some things I only really found out that day. Like Peach's usmash beating Link's dair (God did my eyes light up when I tried that out). But I only ever get to really play vs Fox, Falco, Samus & a decent Ness.

UberPrinny_Baal

Aye, it's definitely really frustrating being at the cusp of being really good at the game, but just needing more regular practice and play VS good players.

That's why I'm so interested in casuals, I think it'll massively help my game.

smakis

i recently moved to cork from sweden and im up for melee at all times, im just glad i finally found some people who play smash in this country

Hey Smakis, you and Kold should swap details and meet up for some sessions in Cork. If my memory serves correctly they have a really good Peach, Samus and Ness down there.

Then whenever we decide to do something bigger up in Dublin, you guys can get the train together.

smakis

sounds good, peach and samus...awesome matchups for ic =D

and yea i have pm him on smashboards, in case he looks here first you can add me on dbz_db_super@hotmail.com (i know its a stupid adress, i was small when i made it okay? ^^)

Kold

Ha, you never know, we could have a Cork v Dublin crewbattle in a couple of months

Misty Chaos

Use to play Melee in my first year in college all the time, great little game. I usually got my ass kicked though ( I mained Fox in it. )

Wouldn't mind playing some more of it sometime myself.

Cool, whereabouts in Cork are you? We were talking bout getting some games on Monday evening, we're around Barrack St.

Naota

Hey, i'm Kolds friend the samus player. Think it would be deadly if we could get something rolling up in dublin. I can bring a wii, copy of the game and maybe 2 controlers.

Why don't you rent a machine out in XGC like the street fighter players but hook the wii up instead of thexbox thats already there?

That's how we built our scene.

I'd bet if people see you playing they'd get interested.

Are you perchance either Eamonn or Michael who went to Tir Na Smash 1?

This is Dave btw.

Not going to say where exactly I live but its a cheap train trip from where I live to get into the city.

I'll see about popping along on Monday but I'm making no promises as I plan on going to Inferno next week and want to hold onto my funds for that.

Made friends with this Falcon when I was in Vancouver, NoobKing. Played a few games agaist him, got raped. Far and away the best player I've ever played.

Naota

So when would be a good day for people to try get down to the XGC? I really want this thing to take off.

I would say a Wednesday or Saturday (Not this Saturday due to Inferno)

That way the other players will be in and there will be other games and players should there not be Smash. Also I'm sure some people would give Smash. I know I'd love a shot.
