Drunken Brawlers United

[Teh_Ephy]

No, I'm pretty sure that's just Jigglypuff's shield.

 

[CloudMax]

Nice
I have played smash bros even since it got released on the nintendo 64
I play Fox ;-)
Im a member on Allisbrawl btw, but i havent been active there.

Jiggelypuff's shield is special BTW, its used to speedrun in Super Smash Bros Melee, adventure mode and other stuff.
If it only was lag-free to play brawl online i would like to play it much more.. Now it is like one sec delay which makes it impossible to play with Fox and Marth.
Sucks that they removed the air dodging that they had in melee :/

 

[Dr Super Good]

Thats cause you could use it to slide or something to go even faster.

I like the new doging however I hate how each hit slows a character down for graphics. It killed me dozens of times in subspace as my teammate would get hit, pausing the attack for a second so that by the time it gets to me, the evade or counter would be out of its invoundrable time so I would also get hit.

 

[CloudMax]

Well, i mastered the air dodge in melee so i could go fast with it thats why i wanted to keep it

 

[CloudMax]

I need someone to battle on Wi-fi, contact me through PM if you want a match or two
I wanna try my skills with my new main. Marth was damn much better then Fox, i spiked my bro 2 times in a 4 stock match =D

 

[Squidle]

Mehh, I'll use Wolf for the battles!
Sometimes Zelda too, she'z freakin annoying if you know how to work with.
And sonic has 1 ultimate pwning air attack xD

 

[Dr Super Good]

Sonic is weak though, he needs high damage percentages to kill or edges to KO from. Middle arena he is unlikly to kill anyone unless in final smash mode.

This is the opposite of ike who can KO with only 40-50% but is slower so hcan have problems hitting.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Zelda, Zelda, oomph! Zelda, Zelda, oomph!

Also, wavedashing was just cruel to people that had no idea wtf you were doing. If everybody involved can wavedash, woo, but if not,

 

[Dr Super Good]

Wait a few months and watch melee TAS. They can move at absolutly nuts speed.

Luckilly brawl is not broken in that way.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I hope that this isn't a spam message (sorry if it is) - Just found this group, I've been a fan of Super Smash Bro's since the original and I just got a new Wii (old one failed out of nowhere) along with getting a wireless point so I can finally play this game again.

I prefer to use the characters that everyone would think are weak to completely annihilate them (my friends aren't that good so it's pretty easy) - so I normally use either Yoshi or Pikachu simply because the fact that someone like Ganon can lose to them is pretty funny.

They can move at absolutly nuts speed.

Actually I found the speed downgrade on Brawl to be a bit annoying at first to get used, compared to melee you move at a slugs pace in Brawl. (I'm assuming your talking about the speed difference between Melee and Brawl)


Edit:
(Just saw that the last post was some time ago, sorry if this is a necropost)

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just tried brawl on my bran new 1080p TV. I need to get a better conection for it as the standard YWR connectors are rather poor quality but it looks very nice. I know its not any higher resolution but the image is so sharp and clear now.

Still can not do damn spikes. I get sent into the abyse.

 

[CloudMax]

Really. I didnt think that it was hard to spike. I learned it in just a few days after watching some old melee matches.

This is a trick that i use in some cases:
If you know or have a feeling that it will just be a suicide becouse it takes to long to recover, use the second jump right before you attack. That way you wont get stunned and take time to recover, becouse you are going upwards insted of downwards, making it possible to instantly get back to the stage.
I do this most of the times, but as i have learned how to use spike properly i sometimes go for a suicide kill when the opponent have one stock left, the only problem with this is that i loose if i miss, but that rarely happens.

So for last stock (or when i have alot of damage!) i do a suicide spike so both of us die, but the opponent dies first.
When my opponents have more then one stock and i have a small amount of damage i go for a safe spike by saving one of the jumps for the spike.

 

[Dr Super Good]

So far I am getting the scraping of oponents along the the ground to work by repetitive jumping and slashing. The dificult thing is to pull off a full jump while still having your fingers on the C stick (only way to do this is with the main direction pad but you have to pull a full jump or have huge stun times if you only pull off a half jump). Done correctly you can slash the oponent then move foward and jump again before hitting the ground to slash him again (downwards ofcourse) and land with no recovery time. Some of the lack of accuracy on my controlers does not help as it can be difficult to pull off the double slashing due to failing to respond to downwards slash order or failing to full jump.

I still have not got the hang of when marth's downwards slash actually spikes them and not just hits them.

 

[CloudMax]

Yes, it can be hard to pull of the entire combo, i still have a hard time doing it so I usually make the spike in a separate combo.

And as i do not find it hard with the controllers i guess i cant help you with that part. I have always had a good feeling with GC controllers, i got a gamecube on release date and me and my brothers total playtime in ssbm was a couple of thousand hours. So i am used to it.

And if you have problem with spiking, try doing it the same way i teached my brother to do it.
Go to practice.
Set the CPU on jump.
stand on the same spot as the CPU and work on your spike timing.
After a while you will know at what moment you are suppost to attack to spike.
My brother started by doing like that. Then when he got the feeling we just made the CPU stand still & recover (jumping back toward the stage) when you try to kill him.
This way you can just smash the CPU out of the stage and then practice the spike like it was the real deal.

 

[Amargaard]

Added image of Kirby!

 

[Dr Super Good]

I know that... The problem is I am not the best with fast finger action.

 

[CloudMax]

That is why you need to train
After some practice you should be able to do it.

 

[Amargaard]

May I ceate threads in here? I will dedicate them to the different characthers... Like Mario, Luigi, Kirby and so on...? Or maybe threads like "The Mario Universe", "The Kirby Unverse", "The Donkey Kong Universe" and so on?

 

[CloudMax]

That is totally up to you, but i do suggest using smashboards, allisbrawl, etc, for talking about them in a "serious" way. They are both great sites, but i guess i will recommend allisbrawl for it.
Just a suggestion.. as you probably wont see much activity around here, and the fact that those two sites i mentioned both have pro gamers. Ken (the best melee player out there) used to be active on smashboards. While pretty much all the others is on allisbrawl.
Here you will find me and Dr Super Good

 

[Dr Super Good]

Yes im so pro!
(Suicides off the edge due to bad spike).
(final smashes off the edge and dies).
(gets killed by a bomb)

Honestly do what you like, this place is near dead currectly so it can not harm as long as it remains on topic.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Have you guys seen the tool assisted super play for super smash bros brawl made with the dolphin emulator? 2 players take no damage and kill 2 other level 9s in record like time.

 

[Amargaard]

I haven't... Is this group dead now?

 

[Amargaard]

Yay, just finished the Subspace Emmisary - I had defeated all bosses in subspace, but didn't know where I could find Tabuu. But my roommate in my new school also liked the game and we found out together ^^

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Wow, some activity here

 

[Amargaard]

Anyways, I wonder why is it called Drunken Brawlers United?

 

[Azsure]

It's because the irony of it's name with the Drunken Brawler Pandaren skill with Smash Bros Brawl.

Anyway, I don't really have SSBB, but Melee and 64, and it really get's boring when the only person who can play with you is your brother -_-

 

[i_mOck_death]

thats more people then me lol for melee

 

[CloudMax]

I wouldn't say that it gets to boring.
I have 2500 played hours, and I have played 1v1 with my brother maybe 1500 of those hours.
We even play mirror. Both of us main Marth.
And we only play perfectly balanced stages such as final destination and battlefield.

Maybe it isn't a game for everyone, but I promise you that you can have some fun with the game

I actually played a best of 100 in streetfighter IV with my brother yesterday aswell, I serously won with 51 to 49. I am not even kidding, I have a picture stored on my mobile
In brawl I win maybe 67% of the matches though.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I heard dolphin emulator has improved a lot recently at playing SSBB so we can expect more tool assisted clips to spring up online. Out of those currently made, the home run contest entries are pretty good with some scoring over 40KM.

 

[CloudMax]

You know, they have been TASing brawl for over a year
I have been following it since day 1, simply becouse I knew back in the days when I competed in multiman and target smash.
I actually held a couple of world records during the first months after the game was released.

Ohh well, I have to say that my favorite TAS with in single player mode would be the peach TAS with 8983.9m/29474.5ft

I mainly quit playing single player modes competitively becouse brawl caused my wii to stop reading discs (for real. It is an actual issue with the game, caused by the dual layer. I bought an entierly new console after that, and modded my first one so that it can play games from USB, etc.).

Ohh well!

 

[Dr Super Good]

Optical drives degrade over time as they are used and the wii does not have a particually expensive one. Dual or single layer makes no real difference compared to run time.

The SSBB is extreemly bad for data streaming. It not only streams the music like all games, but all the items, graphics and character changes that occur during game play for each match played. Combined with the fact it is probably garunteed to be the most played game in your wii library it is no wonder people like you have worn out a Wii playing it lol.

Despite my console becomming less reliable due to the optical drive wearing out, I will just wait for the Wii's sucessor (details will be shown at E3 next month). It is almost garunteed that it will keep to nentiondos traditional style meaning we can expect yet another super smash brothers. But this is no ordanary super smash brothers, it will be the first 1080p super smash brothers with graphics on the 360 level.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Super Smash brothers is planned for both the 3DS and WiiU consoles. I wonder if nentindo will be keeping Snake and Sonic. Also what new non nentindo characters can we expect.

 

[Dragonson]

Smashing.

 

[Jazztastic]

Oh hai

How do I fight you ladies? Anyone up for some brawl?

 

[I-Ate-The-Moon]

I'll post my friend code sometime

 

[Azsure]

If anyone is interested my code is 0777-3300-7214, although lag sometimes is a killer.

 

[RED BARON]

A good old game for me back in the days, though I have never gotten around to try any of the new versions.
