We both died the exact same way with our failed Final Smash attempts, that was the best part.

Was that the only match of ours that I won?  I can't remember... I feel like I got at least one other win.  Either way you owned me overall.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone else but I can't find any mention of it anywhere - but for this first tournament are the matches strictly 1vs1? It appears that way but I just want to make sure. Thanks!

Most definitely.

Sarhan, when can you play today (EST time?) would be great to have some matches going finally at a decent lag since it seems like your bubble's in the green for me.

I'll have some casual videos up Wednesday, Wak (friend of mine, guy who did the How to play video and is one of the best Young Links and overall player in Canada) is gonna come over to destroy me.

Playing good Toon Link players is tough. Man-O-War has the best TL I've played so far and he's tough as stone. Good luck.

So the game finally confirmed registration? I think it just takes time. I should be online 6-7 eastern...sometime around then.

Wow... this sucks... my whole weeks taken...
Well... I can fight people on the weekend (yeah... I'm still in the tourney...)
wait... what time is the tourney in... um... shit... I think its GMT... close to Calgary Alberta.
Also... if anyone's up for a match this Saturday... I'll try my best with Ike (I would use G&W, but shit, I haven't played melee forever, so my skills are fucked with him... hopefully my training tatics will fix that.)
1. If you can't fight human oppenants, fight lvl 9 AI...
2. Set AI to random (so its not fighting the weakest character each time), once you win three fights in a row, add a character, continue this process until you're at 4 person FFA.
3. Switch to team battle, battle two lvl 9 AI until you win three times IAR (in a row, cause I'm lazy), Add AI, continue training until you beat the AI every game...
So far, I'm stuck on 3 man FFA, I either have one life left against an AI with 2, or get K.Oed cause Ike's Up B... always one inch too far from the freaking ledge...
Hopefully I can improve using these techniques (that, or read a guide to using G&W and Ike.)
If you can Beat the three allied AI in a fair fight, switch to stamina and set theirs for high, and yours to 1%. That should help you improve (or lower your Morale...)

Did you want me to add you to the tournament or just the friend code list?
Both! =D

hmmm... Remember with Ike sometimes it's better to use forward+B to reach the ledge rather than up+B.

Standing up for what I believe in, even if it means standing alone.

Tomorrow I'm off and will be looking to test my skills with someone so any takers? Since I seem to have a hard time getting any one to play today with me.

Also don't have everyone on my game Brawl list (Because I'm lazy) so may have to add you

Lvl. 9 computer opponents aren't as hard as I thought...

Today I tried fighting them in 3-stock matches, thinking "Well this should be interesting... let's see how badly I get beaten.  Let's see if I can even land a hit".  And to my surprise, I actually put up a good fight and just barely lost.  And then I tried again and started winning.

I've played against  each character at difficulty 9, and it seems like some characters are 'smarter' than others. Seems like it varies on stages.

On another note, I think Dedede is the new Ganondorf (big beasty.) But that recovery is ridonkulous.
Also, I'll break Diddy. Meaning, I'll eventually make him seem broken. :D
It's great to have your opponents fight over your nuts so they can try to spank your monkey.

On another note, as irrelevant as it is,

:) Damn that was a fun fight!

Also nope, I just saw a one Ban looking for some brawling and joined the game. I'm not sure what was going on, there.

Also as a side note, I'd prefer items off, but mostly because I've lost too many close matches because someone got a Golden Hammer or a Curry or, more likely, a Final Smash. I leave items on for casual play, but for pure skill matches like these, items could make or break the fight.

Are people sticking to one main character lately? I can't seem to commit myself to any one character. At first I solely played Diddy, then I tried out ROB and that lasted a few hours. Then I went to Olimar, followed by Snake, and now Sonic. I find everyone just so good and fun to play as. I probably will never be quite up to par to some of you here who dedicate yourself to one character and master them, but I'm not complaining - I just don't want to force myself to play as one character and limit my style. I guess I just came to the realization that I'm just not a hardcore player - but causual, that is all. :)

Yeah, I have a couple guys I'm better with, but mostly I love everyone except Yoshi; I'm not great with the fatties like Bowser and Ganondorf, though. Still I hate Yoshi the most.

Also if you guys could change my tag to Julio, that'd be great, so I could play with some of you and some of my friends and you'd all know who I am. Thanks!

I've gotta stop reading this thread -- it makes me so sad that I don't have a Wii and haven't played it... :(

Ugh, sorry to whoever I was playing! I got an important phone call, so I had to go. Also fyi I was pausing and checking the phone every so often, so... Don't get the wrong idea!

Finally got some matches with GWers online (mainly DDay and Sarhan though,) and it was pretty fun. The lag is pretty shitty. I dunno if I'll ever get used to it, especially since I use a lot of sidestepping, airdodging, and grabs, three things which are extremely hard to time with a delay. Nevertheless I was able to sidestep effectively a fair bit in the matches, though inconsistently. These was also at least one time where lag was directly responsible for my death (I was trying to get to a ledge, thought I grabbed it, and by the time I realized that I hadn't it was too late.)

Same here Belross And also we played with Evil Bob for about 3 to 4 game too. BTW I love playing with kirby I like he's move set and maybe because I play with him the best and I know how to make the best of him since I always used him in N64 Smash and Gamecube

I don't use a whole lot of characters. At first, I played with Meta Knight for a little while, then Pit for a shorter time. Now I am using Marth a lot. I think Marth is my favorite so far. I want to try Toon Link when I unlock him(i'm unlocking characters the cheap way by selecting low stamina and curry in special brawl.)

Dude, not curry special, flower special. Make the CPU's health 1 and yours higher. As soon as you start the match, it ends!

Also man those were a fun couple matches, Mat and Steve! I was laughing when Lucario got a Hammer, Star, Curry, and Pokeball right after another.

:) Yeah, and I managed not to actually kill anything with any of them.
