my craptastic cpu isn't the best for playing vids....and to be literal...it plays a couple frames a second....then freezes for like 4...then plays a couple more frames in sync.
But strangely enough....DarkBulb's vids were....distinguishable for me(i still haven't figured out why some vids are semi-fluent and others are chaotic)
anywho.... i only managed to watch 3. his doc vs. G&W, Sheik.....and his Falco.

Doc showed some exellent WDing...u really surprised me because i thought i was the only guy to do it that much. I mean...its already to the point of unneccesity...but hell, i love it toO! It worked really well with your feinting.
I notice for ur recovery u tornado, DJ, then cape(i think).....if that cuts the cake for u, cool.....but i think cape before tornado allows you to take full advantage of the tornado's horizontal influence since the cape(first) stops your drifting.
but u made it back, anyway...so its cool. (i'm not one to speak....i never do my own method unless its a very serious battle...cuz its a lot of work for me to turbo press...since i'm left handed and i require, instead....shaking the controller w/ me left hand, while keeping my right finger still)
anywho...one thing i noticed were you didn't have the best moments w/ ur pills. I didn't see any pillrushes into shuffle. I understand that at close quarters with an oponnet in your face, you really alot to risk w/ a SH docpunch...but perhaps you could try incorporating a shuffled sex...those prove really,really useful to me anyway. you can alot of times turn it into a Jab/grab(since it doesn't push u apart if they shield)or if u drift behind...even better. I don't abuse the cape much in my fights personally....maybe 1-2x a fight, really. Its not that u Have to use it to make if effective...its just the concept that it limits ur oponent(projectile wise) even if u never use it. I just find a Jab to grab/d.Smash more worthwhile than caping a mistake.
u could also experiment w/ backwards WD to SH pill...i don't like when oponents try to feint ME out...so this protects me well, when i'm uncertain of their offense.

but the one vid i saw of ur falco was very impressive. Its obvious u know how to SHL quite well- you do retreating- reverse SHL alot in the fight, which really is a great thing. And u have the timing well down enough to SHspike reflector after it immediately...(something i'm still not confident in. I only use F.Tilt/Smash, Jab2grab as a follow follow) I also noticed you hung on the edge...and attempted a rising spike to a recovering foe. I do that 90% as my edgeguard w/ him, since i figure i'll be temp. invincible and guard it bottom to top(especially good against samus)
Sadly i couldn't watch any fluent 2 seconds of this vid, w/out if momentarily freezing on my gay computer...but from what i saw, ur falco is 1337. I'd compare it to mine...but between different styles(yours relying on a little higher technical demandence and of course...my cpu..it'd be hard for me to give any advice.
But ur falco is exellent, i'm not so sure i could even help it.

I haven't really gotten around to watching them. Partly because my new security system won't let me check anything. I can't check messages or view my PM's or e-mail. I can't even reply to this htread without hitting the STOP button on the net tollbar to stop it from blocking this page. It'll be a while beroe I can manage to look at your vids.:(




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

I'm practicing on the pill wavedash thing which I still haven't completely mastered. I was doing it yesterday, it works wonders for fake outs. Glad you enjoyed them. Mystic... it seems your dad took all access out. Did he catch you DLing porn o_O. Anyway, I know I sen't a few PM's the things to get the videos. Hope more reply. More videos after the next NY tournament this Sunday.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Pretty awesome stuff. I'm impressed how well you guys can do wavedashing - I gave up on that long ago >< Though I haven't really needed it, but still.

Good stuff. Keep it comin'.

Lol, no. He just found out that there is a .... load of hidden files being sent to the computer when I log on to this and a few other game sites. It may also be the e-amil I get sent too. It's driving me crazy!



Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Whoa, that sucks a load for you -_- Good luck with that though, or go to a friends house or school or something and check them out one day. They won't go anywhere.

Also, Vampiro, I suck with Mewtwo, but I'm going to attempt and play with him and have a video or 2 of me either winning or losing... but it won't be against Dire Vulcan... he would just send it to hell :(. I'll also attempt a Link video as well. I'll get dire to play with his DK against my Bowser this monday as well. I'll be up and coming when I start sending PM's again saying vids are updated. Glad you enjoyed it, now waiting for Corrupts reactions :D

That's kind of hard considering my I only get one free period a day and I use it up to do work. That and when i post(now at school) I do it during computer class and I can only make one or two posts because if my teacher catches me that will be the end of the internet for me.



Posted by Corrupt

Hahaha... those were great, man. I loved how frantic they were, and I especially loved how you managed to kill Sheik as Bowser, even when the "crowd" was rooting for Sheik. That was some fine fighting there, I'll tell ya that. Lately I've actually been able to practice against a worthy opponent on a fairly regular basis (or at least we're hoping we can see each other every week or so), so I'll only be honing my skills. We've had some pretty da[b][/b]mn intense battles, too... I'll also start reading more posts over at the SmashBoards, too.

And yeah, if you could get a couple Mewtwo videos up, that'd be awesome... try to win for us, 'kay? :P Once again, nice videos... I enjoyed them.




Posted by Mystic Hero

I've had a few good fights in last week actually. It was me vs. one of my friends. We were both Sheik because he claimed he had gotten better with Sheik, so I though I would test mine against his. Now, I don't use Sheik a lot, but when I do I'm not too bad. It was a stock 5 match at Corneria. We both ended up with one stock left getting ourselves near the same amount of damage every time. It turns out he beat me my jumping off the edge and kicking me into the side. Now that I have played him, I can say that he has indeed gotten a lot better and I can see which moves he uses most. I may go back over tomorrow for a rematch.




Posted by #1Gamerchick

i wish i could play u guys. im pretty good with shiek but im better with Link.




Posted by DarkBlade

Oh, Oh, Me, Me...

I dont belive I saw any vids of you, or recent ones..
Moosh has vids of me but dont think hes posted em anywere yet or not.. if quills still holding onto em it may be hard to post... I do good to those "counter part space animals" that prodigy threw at me on a recent tourney^^
Just dont look at me to rickey if any1 taped us at otakon2004 cause im sure my link to his would beat him.. totaly do bad to same part link users the first 3 lives ushaly...

Cyphus I tried your vids once but aplications failed on me... I wana see em..:bowser:




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Darkblade, you're a smashboarder. When you see my videos, tell me what NOT to do and then tell what to do. My friend is kind enough to use his equipment and do this sort of ..... Blade, I'll PM you the info and how to get my vids. Its real easy :-p... it's just not in site form or hub. I do use a pretty nifty email storage though :cool:




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Bump, I just got back from the tourny and I did ....ing awesome. Dire Vulcan was crowned uber Game&Watch as well. New vids real soon under a new account name soon. Old account name will just have some regular videos of the usual. No sound as usual, his comp doesn't record with sound... which sucks because during the matches, the commentary during the matches were funny. .... :(.




Posted by Ant

I saw your vids awhile back, good stuff.

I learned actually from them. I've become a lot better with Mario too! Like, I always use fireballs to .... people up when they are trying to get back (although it can help them because they can do another up+B if they used it already) and I also use the cape on them when they try to get back on the ledge. Works quite well. Although cheap...works good.

Question though, when you do a down+b, how the hell do you go up? I always just keep falling down...at a faster pace actually. So it kinda sucks...




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

OH, Down B, and tap B like an animal during the move. It hovers you upward. If you read up on Cyphus's doc guide, it has tips there that work with mario as well. It is a real good read to learn some tactics.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

.... it, they all fit in the same account. All new vids from the tournament are still in the same slot. I'll start telling more people. Not a bump, but a totally different post. Merge them if you think its innapropriate.




Posted by coromoro

Awesome videos, Bulb. You rock with Doctor Mario. :cool:

[quote=Dark Bulb 4.1]Merge them if you think its innapropriate.

Oh, it's okay... I don't have a problem with double posting, as long as it's not something that could be fit in one post. You're fine.

And I'll go ahead and check the videos out very soon... I'm looking forward to it, too. :cool:




Posted by Cyphus

i donnot get these Rep things...and how do u 'agree/disagree'? lol

anywho...DarkBlade...u really Shouldn't check out my vids. heheeh. Not only are they old, now...they were pretty old when i had a guy put them up.

I mean...seriously...L-cancelling was only successful a fraction of the time
But there is one vid that is pretty cool.
Me(meleematerx)-Ganon vs. Lee-Samus. Only reason its cool is because the music is some techno my brother wrote, and my friend Brett directed it putting it together and adding credits.
I mean...yeah..i can't count the number of times i jump into Samus's Sex kick..again..and again...its throughout the whole match. I had lost my cool and became quite stubborn trying to get through it...but didn't exactly work.
u could find my old crappy vids by taking them from Usea or Armani....those 2 guys prolly have'em on the HUB




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

11 new videos. I didn't use Doctor Mario in the tourny. I didn't get the right times to use him, but marios chances were high. I used him instead for a lot of matches. Also, Just cause it says pikachu is the player doesn't mean the guy sucked. The Hex videos, his pikachu was ....ing scary. Same as anything else you see there. Also corrupt, thanks, I'm sure Maian would've been ....ed :) cause he doesn't like me :cool:

Quoting Dark Bulb 4.1: Also corrupt, thanks, I'm sure Maian would've been ....ed :) cause he doesn't like me :cool:


Heh, you're welcome... but if you can, try and limit the amount of times that you double post, okay? :P Same goes for everyone else.

Anyway, watched several of the videos, and they were fun as usual to watch :cool: I've been practicing a lot with Mewtwo and Falco lately, and watching better players is always a good way to pick up new techniques and such... I'll be doing that with Falco. Oh, and no Mewtwo videos yet? Haha, but there's no pressure, man... I know you're not the best with Mewtwo, so it's perfectly understandable. Still, once again, nice performances. I'd rep you again if I could.




Posted by DaBearX

Hey Dark Bulb,

I'm a no-name, mediocre-talent (only started playing sept 04... just learning to WD now but can rarely use it in a match well, cant always SH on command forget shffling, dunno what DZ means...) smash player looking for videos of sweet matches (to study...) wondering if you'de let me take a look at your stuff.

Main Char: Fox
Alt Char: Too many... Falco (as of last week...) mario/doc, team fire emblam, young link, ganon, and a poor shiek
Worst: MewTwo (if you have Mew2 videos that would be sweet cause I have no idea how this guy works)

Favorite map: final destination. pure and simple.

Anyway, ill probably end up showing these videos to other ppl who are about as bad as I am so you will get plenty of ooohs and aaahs.

Also you were sayin the mario in your crew got CaptJack's sheik down to 1 stock. Is he that awesome? I saw him play DK/Ganon/Doc they were all pretty leet but all of the sheik vids didnt work for me. You dont know where I can find some do ye?

If anyone else knows where to find informative or just ....ing sweet melee vids, please let me know. The others and I crave more.

Finally do you leet players ever play free for all with 3 or more or team battles?

Thanks
DaBearX




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

I'll give you some vids later Bear if you haven't seen them already. As for free for all, I never do those. Those are no skill battles rather than a one on one, I say no skill cause... people run away and take no damage and come back into the fight with the c stick. I WISH dire was crew, but hes not, just a real good smashboarder friend. He's part of DA now, I'm not :-p.

I'll def get mewtwo videos tomorrow night at my friends. As of now... you're lucky :-p. All I play with IS falco and both marios. So I'll PM you info and re post here on how I play. If you like what you see, I use AIM and you can ask even more questions there.




Posted by DaBearX

So wow. Love the matches with your fox and the various falco fights. Love the SHL, any hints, I try to do it jumping back and fought but I usually end up illusioning, also do you end each hop with a WD or just jump immediately? Also i've read that you can use deflectors to counter shield grabbers (which is what I think you did a couple of times) but I can't seem to manage it myself, any hints there?. Any tips for learning how to WD (I started playing with luigi a lil bit just to try to see if I can integrate it at all into my style but I usually only do it once or twice in a row at best). I like the used of the down dodges, I need to try to integrate that more as well. The chain-throw combos with doc were nice. It seems I really need to work on L-canceling but I promised myself I would not play anymore for a while for academic reasons. So for the time being looks like just reading more walkthroughs and hopefully some more nice vids.

Like your style of play. In the first falco vs ganon fight were you dash dancing or wave dancing, or both, or is wave dancing just something I made up. If it is a genuine term, which ones better in your opinion? Also, would you recommend jumping with the x/y or should I try to change over to the control stick? Anyway, sweet vids, sorta poor quality on the camcorder ones though, looking forward to the Mew2 vids.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

To jump, the best advice I can give is to use the button closest to the Z button, not the one on the right of the A button. It's sad, I don't even know the buttons lmao.

Don't worry if you Falco Phatasm right off the stage, there was a time where for 3 months, suicides with falco and fox were horribly too many. I eventually calmed down and got the timing right. If you can move while you shoot the laser, then you will DEFINITELY get the timing right so you don't suicide as often.

The Techniques I use with the laser are usually just the normal land, it's impossible to land and wavedash with the laser though, unlike mario/doc where you can pill/fireball and land into a wavedash. I know you can see also, with the SHL, I usually end up right next to them ready with something. Down air, neutral air, grabs work best with this, and if they have low damages, its good to shine. When you said cancelling their grab with a shine dude, I seriously NEVER thought of that. So thats a good heads up there. I know I've done it, but I do it cause I'm hoping they grab and get hit, but in some situations I should do it more often now that you did mention it like that.

Don't worry with the wavedash in consecutive times like mad. Luigi is the easiest to do it only because hes still in motion, while others are extremely hard to do like ganondorf, bowser, link, fox, and falco. I understand how wavedashing is in the beggining. You do it once and you slide, and again, and then you accidently jump and dodge midair. I do it in the vids, I mean I've closed to perfected it, but hey, mistakes are good, all I did to get that good at wavedashing was to actually use it in battle. With wavedashing, I first learned how to use it good when I wavedashed away from an opponent. Thats all I ever did with wavedashing. But if you can do backwards even once perfectly and keep your kool in the match, then you can do it again in a match. I've even attempted to wavedash to do an edgeguard on the stage, and I dodge off the stage. I do it at tournaments, but hey, even I'm still learning. But no matter what anyone says, wavedashing IS useful. You will never see anyone in the finals not wavedashing.

Dash dancing is a good mind game, one where people tap left and right like mad. Wave dancing is a delayed dash dance, more like the slow predator look. Then what I do with mario is something else. Also, because of academic reasons, I ONLY play smash. I can't play other games, I know that smash doesn't take too much of my time rather than me playing a new game. Also, I'll PM you the new address, I keep some weird stuff in that one now.

If you want more vids, PM me people. The newest ones are Mewtwo, Ness, Samus, JIggly, Ganondorf, and Fox (who fails at attempting the infinite shine)

I'm glad you enjoyed it btw. Sorry bout the camcorder as well... you know... tournament is kinda like... the only way to get it on video was that :-p. The others are recorded directly on the computer. Next up is Marth, Link, Roy, and others I haven't touched yet. K thx




Posted by DarkBlade

I WD alot with gndf and marth but its hard doing it back and forth to much. With cold hands its absolutly impossible and I always have cold hands... I can run and do em back easy enough and such with many characters. I just cant grasp fox at all... and falco abit. Not that I use those characters really but I know Id be much better with it.. I need some type of heat warming gloves cause in the winter my hands are colder than room temp... "stupid lupus..."
With link its decent but the most use I find it for is marth and the easiest use is gndf. But I dont WD as much as you in facing pros. I just do it to amaz the noobs... With link its just setting up a barrier of projectails and SH with kicks and F air more or less. Id like to insert theWD as much to my thought and its easy enough but it takes somewhat time away from my projectail play and I get alot of rep from my bomb setups... however if I went to doc agian Id love to play like yours^^




Posted by Corrupt

Awesome Mewtwo videos, man. Even though I'm half-asleep, I really enjoyed watching those... I love some of the great tricks you pulled off, and how frantic everything was. Then again, at your level I'm sure every battle is always pretty fast-paced (except in slow-mo melee). I watched the videos pretty closely, and I saw that you perform a lot of the combos I use with Mewtwo... except that I can't pull them off quite as fast (although I'm working on it! :mad: ), and I suck at wavedashing. :( I'll work on polishing my Mewtwo some more in the near future, though... once again, nice videos, and thanks a million for posting them. I'll rep you when I get the chance, since I think you deserve it.




Posted by DaBearX

Nice vids. I like the fox shine WD into Up smash combo. Does psion know that you can stop raising up and levitate at any time during the first jump with peach by pressing down (for example if you are holding down when you jump you will immediately start floating on the surface of the ground)? I've taken a very recent interest in peach and I like this maneuver a lot cause she has some pretty nice arials imo. But shrug, what do I know. I just use what I see in vids (that technique I saw in several of the videos on captainjack's site :P). Nice mew2 as well, looks like I just has to master landing the front arial and learn the range of the tail moves.

Thanks again




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

First.. he knows about the float :( hes just real lazy -_-

Also, that tail has some HuGe flippin range. Mewtwo lucks out because all his attacks can be performed asap with the jump cancel, unlike yoshi or peach. Well, most of his attacks. Hes fun, but theres no way I cna use him in a tourny, I'm not that levelof play with that type of character yet.




Posted by Poison

Yea, I am a bit lazy, but I don't have the time to usually get on and around to practice by myself.

I'm Psion in all those videos, and I'm the one responsible for all of dark bulb's videos. I'm just bumping this to say, there will be a tournament tomorrow, and I will be bringing the camcorder to record this. The first gauntlet I only brought one tape by accident, and the second one, I came from school and didn't have the time to get the camcorder. This time, I'm hoping of maybe an hour + footage of videos and some stupid commentary even.

Seeing as you all... I think enjoyed the videos; he plays way better when not on camera. That




Posted by Alastor

Like your vids o_O


I still don't see the point of WaveDashing... props to being able to actually do it, though. I still haven't gotten that far. :cool:




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

lol venom lol >:O

but yea, like he said, hes gonna be recording me tomorrow. props to him for even bothering to convert everything on the camcorder to the computer.

replace everything with rolling to wavedashing, and now you are much much faster at both covering ground, and at getting the quick attack in as well. yea, just yea




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: I still don't see the point of WaveDashing...


Quick dodge into immediate attack. Et cetera.

Anywho, I'm to lazy to PM. But I wanna see the videos when you're done with them. Good luck you two!



Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

He's not enterring, hes just doing the huge favor of recording it = o




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Exactly, good luck to him. I don't want him to take crappy footage or somehow forget the camcorder.

Oh he won't :mad:

I have finished recording and transferring the Super Smash Brothers tournament videos into MPEG format. I have recorded over an hour and because of the fact that I have slow Internet connection speed (56k), I will not be able to upload the videos today. Dark Bulb will be up loading them like he has done so in the past and should be ready in a day or so. I hope everyone enjoys the videos and I will post more recordings of smash videos as time passes. If you would like to see the videos, please PM Dark Bulb or me in a day or so.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

First I'd like to say... it was a horrible day for me :(

My hands weren't in a micro mood. My falco played lumpy, and some matches I could have done better in, but my falco would just be at a stand and not move. I wasn't reacting in time. But as the day progressed, it slowly started to move, and I'm glad that by the time I reached suicide fox, it was an almost normal falco. Even then I was messing up.

My exhibitions - I played horrible. I was shocked I lost to so many crappy players. I mean I know I'm not great, but when you know THEY aren't, something just doesn't seem right. I lost some real easy rounds, and against link's who just used the Up b move. I just kept running into the move. Eventually I got one good exhibition against a guys sheik who the day before got 3rd place in a new jersey tourny. But after him, I played like crap again. Rafa ate me in all our exhibitions, and not because I screwed up, but I notice that I need ganondorf practice. I can't play agaist ganondorfs really great. The videos will show that. I got lucky to play PC chris, but I was to nervous and completely flopped. Then again... he IS Pc Chris. I didn't expect to win, but I didn't expect to lose without knocking at least one stock off. At least against mofo I took one off.
Video of PC pwning me - http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=27Z3OAA13ZA7N2GZRDA5R0L68F

The tournament -

Match one was against daves bro... daves the master falco in the US next to prodigy and robfalco. I can't fight Marios with mario, it doesn't feel right, so i gave a go at falco. I had a hard time wavedashing and SHL'ing. Hell, he even took me down when i didn't tech on the floor and just layed there. My fingers wouldn't move. Eventually in the round i started to move again. He won first and second round, and his brother of course cheering for him like he should. Real close matches.

Match two was against some 13 year old or something. I thought I was going to pwn him hard, but man was I playing like ****. He took me down to one stock first round. Second round I won, with 2... but holy crap. He played luigi and I was still falco.

Match three was against Suicide Fox and I felt like just giving up right there. First round he takes it. Second round I take it, he dies in a suicide/kill way. Third round I take it. He farted in between the rounds though and called it "mind games". Dave was rooting for him, and I just wanted to hit him for making me even more nervous. Suicide Fox played fox, and I played my falco. Suicide was pretty kool, he was rawking.

Match four was agains a guy who in the exhibitions was just beating me easily, I got in my game at suicide foxes last match. I was parptially clunky, so I won with one stock in the first round, and forgot how many the second. BigG used samus, I used falco. I didn't want to make ANY transitions to mario at all this tournament at that point. Falco to mario to falco, not good for me at all. I won

Match five was against Havoc from the turks. A guy in Mofos and PC's Crew. He countered picked of course... like all of the turks. He picked luigi, an excellent counter to falco. First round, I experienced a REAL luigi. He was wild and mean, and he KNEW what he was doing. He won the first round. Second round I started to see his pattern a bit. I won the second round by taking advantage of luigi's weight and being able to combo him. Third round... was just insane. First life he comboes me, he then uses his forward B by accident and out of all the numbers from one to 8, he got the misfire and killed me. I felt sick for a second. The match ends up at me being one life and him three. I do my best NOT to die. I eventually get him down to one stock, and wow. Craziest **** happens. He gets out of the lift, and attacks me, I fly outside. He wavedashes toward the stage, and I used my falco fantasm to return. The games physics... sort of pulled him instead of the ground... it just spiked him in the pit. I won the round and he was so angry but accepted the fact that he lost. Havoc was pretty kool and I know that that was a bull**** win, but its a tournament :-/.

Match six... I did NOT think I was going to make it this far. I faced Unkownforce, he used ganondorf. First round... his ganon wasn't like Rafa... way different. Ate me like cat food. Second round... I just... like gave up. I was hungry, tired, wanted to go home. I was happy I made it as far as I did.

In the end, Unknown placed 7th, I placed 9th, havoc placed 13th, and wes... still won the tournament. Videos will be in a new account soon. PM's will be sent out shortly. No one needed the recaps on my matches though, but Meh :mad:




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I can't believe I read that all.

It's funny though, you made youself sond like absolute **** and turns out your didn't even do that bad. Good job though.

But anyways, why were you so "clunky"? just not ready or... ?




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

You know how you just happen to have "one of those days" type of days?

That was that day. Suicide Fox was having one of those days also. A LOT of people had a bad day that day, Mofo got 25th place and I got 9th, and I KNOW that mofo can take me down just as easy as PC chris took me out for fun.

Clunky, my hands... just felt like they didn't want to move. Unlike in the last tourny where I was ready to fight and all, this tournament, my head was full. I was worrying about other things, and I wasn't truly concentrating on the matches. More like... outside interference >.<. But yea, I didn't do that bad regardless :o. Pc Chris pwning me video is hilarious >.>

Sorry for taking forever, i ended up dissapearing for a while. Well, PM sent >.<

Best remove ever.

Gaunlet 4. 2 weeks, no smash. I'm more than glad to give up my spot in top ten in NY, I'm gonna go to this gaunlet and have some fun if anything... I won't be any better while everyone else is. I'll just be at the same skill if not slightly lower.

Anyway, I don't know if Poison will be coming along or not. Even after the last one, he does close to excellent jobs holding the camcorder in place and recording. I was more than pleased with the way the quality of the videos came out last time. If he doesn't, I'll just post up the results, and say no videos, and if he does, then most likely videos! Anyways, just felt like giving away the heads up.




Posted by Burrito

I'd like to see the videos. I really need to increase my own own skill to get ready for smash brothers online. So, it might help out a bit.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Enjoy =o

anyone else?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Else.




Posted by Mystic Hero

You know you can always count me in to get some of your new vids Bulb. BTW, have you put on some of your newer ones on your acount yet?




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Actually, there won't be new ones. I was going to go to the tourny, but it seems that I'm playing WAY too horrible to even try. I kept losing to level 9 computers. My matches were all horrible. Hands shaky, numb, tired, all the sorts, especially stiff fingers. I was hoping to get my practice and be just as good as before. I got worst, and I know everyone got better.

I didn't think that 2 weeks of no smash could actually do this. I'm sitting this one out. If anything, there will be new videos, but it won't be from this tournament, just fun matches on a computer.

And my hands DO NOT hurt from masturbation. Thats it.




Posted by Mystic Hero

Heh, I haven't played in months, think of how horrable I am. It happens so don't worry about it to much. I just hope once school is over I'll be able to get back my old skill enough to enter another tourney.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

New videos will be up soon. I'll give the email in public. the password will be the same one for the first email I ever gave out.

I change a bit around... I think. No falco this time around. Fox, Samus, Bowser, Zelda, Sheik, and I think either ganondorf, or Captain falcon. I'll have the videos ready tomorrow. Start posting for me to send out PM's and ****. Yea.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

HOLY CRAP, I thought there were posts here.

No matter, double post.

I am currently updating 'moresmashvids' as I type this.

The pass is still foxfalco.

This time the videos actually have music =O

OH STFU MY SELECTION SUCKS :mad:

Enjoy ;o




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I need the link :(




Posted by Mystic Hero

Yeah and I forgot the new username and password you told me over AIM. I should have saved the convo. :(




Posted by Mystic Hero


Quoting Vampiro: I need the link :(


He gave you what you need to see the vids dude. Just go to yahoo.com and I think hit mail or something.

A long time ago. I just forgot it was yahoo.



Posted by Mystic Hero

Yeah ok.

Anyway, just looked at them. Not to bad Bulb, though I must day on teh Samus vs. Peach one, the song was slow when you got into the fight which was right away, and then it got real fast laster on. I know you are a little new to the whole music thing, but next time you are going to go at like that right away, try and get something that will fit the video just right. I didn't think the music choice fit the clip, but in the end it did justice and wasa good piece fo work. Just try and experiment with teh right music next time. It was still good though.:cool:




Posted by Ch

I saw all the videos about a week ago and I gotta say thats some awesome playing.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Thats nothing as this fox player I saw who wall spikes, its ****ing insane

New stratagy stealing going on now by dark bulb

Btw my fox is a combination of styles from videos that I saw from dave/Isai/Amorasaki... who I wish came here more often. My style is a slower style of a daves falco, Isai fox, and amorasakis falcon. Cept I used their concepts to make my falco. It isn't a unique one, but they all helped me out a lot :-x




Posted by Ch

I liked that little ploy you did. Everytime you knocked someone off the stage you'd run to the edge and hang off of it so the other player didn't have a chance to get back up. Smart stuff.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Thats pretty **** basic o_o
The less basic thing is timing it so that you turn invincible when you get back in, and they hit nothing and grab nothing. That itself is still basic

Indeed. That's almost a must when it comes to SSB.

Not always, a lot of times the edge guard is a 15 to 25% guarantee of a kill if done right. I say that because mind games come in play here, the way they use their jumps and up B attacks to get in the stage, the way they fast fall, all the sorts, all play roles here. This is the reason most people just don't guard it, because they can still get back in about 50% of the time, so the edge is just an extra distance so that THEY don't grab it, and so that YOU can still aerial attack them if they try to go over the edge. Chracters like Falcon and Ganondorf though, are almost guaranteed if knocked far enough unlike characters like game and watch or marth who have huge upward attack distance. This would be the reason to quickly jump off the ledge and do a quick attack so that they plunge either down or away from the edge again.

Dark, have you ever gone to MLG for a real competition?

Oh, and, vids plz.

Quoting Skitzo Control: Dark, have you ever gone to MLG for a real competition?

Oh, and, vids plz.


For the qualifying rounds, MLG only took place in boston which was closest to me, and I sure as hell wasn't making that trip. Local tourny player is all I am/was. Thats why I have no real ranking outside of NY.

EDIT : that was a rushed post before I left. To qualify for the finals in NY, I needed to place... I believe it was top 3 or top 5 or something. The finals even then consisted of almost every top player from anywhere you can think, and even one from japan. These are the players that constantly go to local tournaments and get anywhere from first to third 80% of the time.

Even then, there are far better tournaments to go to than MLG that are even bigger, if you consider TG, Moast, and FC, in which many more players are fighting for the top spot.

Anyway, I'll PM you now and give you everything you need to get my videos. It's simple.



Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Hey guys, I got to see this guy in action. :cool:

I even beat him. ;)




Posted by Arczu

Hey Dark, I would like a pm for the videos, cause I'm really looking to see how good I am compared to others.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Hey, if you can't beat angelwing, then like you're no where near my level, next time I'm down in manitoba, you should totally play me for no apparent reason at all!

Anyway, I'll pm you the information on how to get my videos. If you like what you see, then post back in here please ;o. IF ALASTOR SEES THIS, can you change the title of this? To like Smash Melee Videos plz :(




Posted by Mystic Hero

Yeah dude, he fights crazy. I wish I had that kind of competiton aroudn here. Everyone is like a retard compared to me. There is only one guy that matches me, just one.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

I have weak mind games and my micro isn't that nice. Thats what seperates me from the bigger league of the higher smash players. They have crazy mind games, or extreme micro.




Posted by Aioros

[COLOR=Yellow]I'd like to have a look at the videos. PM me Dark Bulb, i'd like to see what all the hype is about.[/COLOR]




Posted by Mystic Hero

Um dude, there is no need for a PM. He gave his acount name and password on another post. Just look for it a few pages back, it's there. Then just log in and download them.




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

No I didn't o_o

I think

Anyway, I'll send you a PM, its simple :O, vids are horribly outdated though, hopefully I'll have new stuff soon




Posted by DarkBlade

Meow.

Ya you should pm me the vids if you didnt already. I deleted all the pms cause im supa popula(hated seeing them) and have alot to do to look up were you posted them(lazy as an ***)

Also you should come down to scranton for a halloweekend 2 day thing. Its abunch of PA guy pros. One there actually beat me. Javiar. But theres alot of good players there. Giants695 (somthing like that) msged me when I was on aim(blue moon that night was) and invited me down there. Even 8 months outa practice I did good but I can surly say Javi is the PA champ. Some Marth guy. Also I think UnbreonMow is coming down aswell as the NEW TriadProdigy(beat him once, lets go for 2/2 ^^) Theres a Martz bus that goes from NY city strait to Scranton.
http://www.martztrailways.com/
It drops you off just 5 minute walk from the store. Im pretty popular there so youd be aswell^^
Plus we can play eachother before the next smash comes out and I retire for good...(lazy)




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

I have school five days a week, and I'm looking for work still, even though every place says they are hiring -_-

I have no clue what my schedule would be like by.. halloween o_o... if I even have money by that time, I really will look into it. I already know the bus pretty well anyway... >,>




Posted by Dark Bulb 4.3

Update and a ****ing half

No more video waiting PM's, slowly but surely, I'll date the videos, and update the first page. NOW, CHECK FIRST PAGE FOR

December 3rd, 3 videos so far.

Update on tournament videos soon also. Thank Poison, you must!




Posted by DarkBlade

[COLOR=Black]Some Nice things there. You should patent your falco. I havent seen a defencive falco ever work that good. But was your defencive lasering to getting a stun attack all becausde you were fighing peach? You got faster speed to use em aswell as she cant jump and theres the whole shield grabbing and down smashing. I noticed you worked up on not letting in an opening when you got near by using your speed to set up defencive lasers to create combos while avioding being shield grabbed or even downsmashed and whatnot. Besides the occasional SD(which is resanable with space animals) I liked it. It shows really how a back jump laser comes into play^^ My guy doesnt really ever use it so Ill show him a few of these to show how it can be used for good defence. Agian nice vids.
Liked the last theme song as well^^[/COLOR]
