A close battle between me and a buddy of mine, Azura.

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=oFVNDqf1jLI

I don't want to sound like an ass, but that wasn't really good. Lots of unnecessary rolling, missed combos (especially on Azura's part) and generally stupid stuff. You guys aren't bad per se but you're definitely not par for the course either, see what I mean? Keep playing tho, and use G&W's downsmash to punish shield rolling and whiffed short hops, it's actually good this time around and has a hitbox all around G&W's body except directly above his head. His down-tilt is also crazy for setting up air combos and a bunch of other weird stuff that doesn't look right but works anyway.

oh yeah items ew ew final destination fox only

For anyone interested, Brawl Central did a list of the currently allowed stages but they didn't explain their voting methods yet:

Neutral Legal Stages (6)

Battlefield
Final Destination
Lylat Cruise
Smashville
Yoshi's Island
Pokémon Stadium

Counterpicks (14)
Frigate Orpheon
Delfino Plaza
Luigi's Mansion
Battleship Halberd
Castle Siege
Great Sea
Mario Circuit
Port Town Aero Dive
Corneria
Shadow Moses Island
Green Greens
Jungle Japes
Rainbow Ride
Brinstar
Electroplankton
Green Hill Zone
Pokémon Stadium 2
Skyworld

To be honest, I don't like some choices in this list. Elektroplankton should be banned due to its annoyingness and size and GHZ should be considered for a ban due to the problem with stalling in the checkpoints with fast projectile characters.

Otherwise, I don't mind the other choices too much except that there are too many counter-picks and not enough neutral stages. I'd really move Delfino Plaza to neutral as well as Castle Siege, and maybe Frigate Orpheon. I'm surprised they even included Mushroomy Kingdom tho, I'd have thought it to be banned due to only scrolling in one direction.

what the hell is a counter pick

A stage that can only be taken once the first match of a set has been played. Named counter-picks because they usually favor a certain type of characters over another, such as Yoshi's Story from Melee being incredibly good if you were Marth, but otherwise only normal if you were anyone else.

If anyone is up for some itemless 1-on-1s, hit me up. I'm currently hosting a match just waiting for people, so join me up when you want.

I added ya, so I'm up for a itemless one, if you also don't want Smash Balls then I'm cool with that too.

Smashballs are out, I just turned every single items off.

It's fine now, I see you online. Just disconnect and reconnect, sometimes it needs to be reset to work. Nintendo's online service kinda sucks.

Man, that was some awful fucking lag, some of the times I C-sticked forward and a downsmash came out. And low tiers fuck me up so much because no one plays them except online and it's fucked up.

Good games otherwise jman, learn to stop rolling so much though and spot dodge/short hop more, I haven't seen you do either even once in the matches. I'm way too used to the tournament mindset so stuff new players or people who don't take the game seriously do fucks with me and everything degenerates from there.

@Raziel - Holy shit, that was fucking fun! You have a interesting fighting style, however a few things to add, you should try and vary your character selection, after a while it can get a bit easy to see what you're going to do next. Lucario is evil, but he's fun... (and that last match, I was like HOLY SHIT, YES, THAT WAS LIKE FUCKING CLOSE!)

I try to limit my character selection to a few characters (three is good, four gets a little hectic for me) so I can play them at a high level. I play Lucario and Ganon because I like them, and I pick Wolf when I want to get serious. I need to work on my spacing with Lucario and Wolf tho, especially with their downsmash and Lucario's side B, I whiffed a lot without wanting to but it was even worse because of the added lag.
