regarding melee
i think mang0 won't take 1st place this time, westballz has been riding him 2much. i think the "5 gods" are literally washed up and leffen has a good chance at taking evo 20xx.
and then for sm4sh
prob zero will take it
i love watching evo every year
schedule

oh sup
it is honestly a toss up between mango armada leffen and ppmd. all of them besides ppmd have shown that they have the potential from this last year's tournaments and ppmd is just really fucking good and won apex and didnt really go to anything else lol
personally would be most stoked on mango or ppmd winning but mostly because i love seeing good falco and ppmd's marth is fucking amazing
also really wanna see pewpewu silent wolf and westballz do well. ppu is just a godlike player and same for westballz and sw. however sw is my hometown hero and i want to see him do well at a national (well, he got top 8 last evo after getting WRECKED by axe) since i've seen him destroy everyone in wa month after month
so stoked though giggle;

only washed up of the gods are m2k and hbox. both of which are still EASILY contenders for top 10, which in no way makes them washed up (at least not as "gods" since they are beatable by "lower tier" players)
gods are mango/ppmd/leffen/armada right now imo. westballz could break into it if he maintains how well he's been doing
also watch out for my friend 'Felix' in sm4sh. he's consistently been 2nd in WA at every large tournament and i wouldn't be surprised if he gets top 32 at LEAST

i guess you're right about them. well actually m2k did pretty damn good in wtfox
but yeah im rooting for ppmd for USA b/c lmao wtf is going on
i honestly do think mango is a bit washed up. just a bit.
but let's see if he gets that 3peat
and sure ill look for felix
what's his full name so i can find him in the pool
m2k is also not competing sadly
daniel liazarra or something like that
i could see mango taking it but he is definitely looking less dominant than usual.
so who won smash fighter
we wont know til sunday
but omg i am so excited
this is like the superbowl for me

sucks about m2k's finger 2 but w/e
anyway i bought $20 worth of groceries for this lol
im hyped af gonna be watching on my tv
lol nice that's tight
my gf is going out of town this weekend so i am planning on doing a lot of mind altering substances and watching a lot of melee with my smash group
self indulgences nyandood; nyandood; nyandood;
lol HOLY SHIT hbox in loser's bracket
Baby Nine in the Ultra SF IV cheesed the fuck out of sonic boom with Guile
Lul
the FULL and updated version of evo sched
http://i.imgur.com/i2H28aG.jpg
also streaming melee through wii u to tv
and sm4sh through vlc player
feels great not dealing with fucking flash player
ken fucks up westballz.. interesting haha
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/EVO_2015/Singles_Bracket
wait maybe not becuase i see westballz but no ken
edit nvm im dumb
also lets go silent wolf vs armada
that'll be awesome
if by some weird chance silent wolf beats armada and javi beats ppu (which would also be sad)..
silent wolf vs javi would be SICK. the two most technical foxes ever basically
will KEN save the US from the swedes?

this evo is fucking hype
what the fuck is going on
KEN COMING BACK
MANGO LOST TO PLUP
LEFFEN TO LOSERS
CHU, HUGS, AND KEN IN TOP 32
is this 2006 holy shit
WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK
really fucking unexpected
maaaan sw almost had armada
then lost to chu who is incidentally doing really well
sad day
lets go plup though
lol honestly though wtf was going on yesterday lmao
>losing and fucking up your controller when you're in top 8
wtfff

yeah seriously i was just reading about that
to be fair i don't think it's a huge deal with so many other top players offering their controllers
like yeah every controller feels a little different w/e but if you are a top player it isn't the end of the world
plup needs to relax
never cheered so much for something holy shit
thank god armada won because fuck hbox
man plup beating leffen was awesome, but i wonder where he was when the little awards ceremony was time
and chudat played pretty damn good against mango, i mean if he wobbled one more time, he would have won.
also

lmao @ plup forgettign to get his medal
>mango throwing his medal in the crowd
loved it
So glad armada won
The booing against hbox was unjustified imo since armada was being just as campy with lasers but God damn puff is so not hype
SO mib how can you keep playing smash 4 after watching this? Seriously I guarantee that if you started melee you would love the game and community and not go back

lol ill keep tabs on both games. why would i ditch the best newcomer ever introduced (duck hunt)
but yeah ill admit i do have more of an interest to play melee
i know how to wavedash now but lol idk why im doing it. i need to learn to do it more consistently
and is DIing just moving the opposite of where you're being launched?
man i tried playing melee a few days ago and i couldn't even beat hard cpus wtf. though i have not played in a long long time
also i do have all smash games, even including project m mod. unlocked all chars and stages for every game. so i can try to go for [spoiler]competitive n64[/spoiler]
but yeah man this even definitely increased my interest in smash in general. moreso melee lol
Yeah Im not trying to be a snob or anything but there is a reason that melee is so active after so long
You really have to meet up with people irl for melee. You can do netplay but you miss out on having a cool smash crew. Just post on fb groups looking for other noobs, which there are bound to be after evo
For normal di (survival di) you basically hold the direction you want to go, which is usually wherever would take you into a corner more (farther than walls or ceilings bcuz math) or toward the stage or platform so you can get a tech. For example if you are being thrown to the right and you di straight up you'll go up/right diagonally. A bit of an oversimplification but you get the idea.
Also try to di away from characters if you're being comboed so you can gtfo but there are some situations where people will want you to di away for certain moves which is where it gets mindgamey
In terms of tech skill just pick Marth or sheik and force yourself to try the stuff you practice alone. Both characters have ez mode moves for beginners and can also be taken to high levels. Both also encourage basic tech like jump cancel grab, wavedash, crouch cancel (moreso with sheik), and pivots
Watch the advanced how to play video if you haven't already
And pm me because I love talking about melee and melee theory ;)

Pretty damn funny.
I'm not going to claim to know the "proper etiquette" for evo, but, while it's funny that he lost because he was too busy show-boating, you'd think that the other guy would at least have the decency to wait for his opponent to return

lol why shouldn't you take advantage of someone being dumb
especially competing in evo
their life in the game is their own responsibility, not the opponent's
reminds me of how people gloat bc they think they're going 1st and then at the last second, someone behind them wins the race 1st.
