Who makes the room?

I'll do it. I'm good at that sort of thing.

We wait for matrix?

Cool.

He's in now. We're ready to smash!

Sorry, Roommate was Skyping with 2 people at once while playing an MMO, so my connection was sucking hard at the time...

Sorry :\

Matrix your connection sucks right now. Steve and mine are working fine so perhaps you can smash at some other time. Sorry bro.

Already left the room mate.

Ugh I don't stand a chance

I'm sorry the connection bugged out during our Ganondorf/Ike match.

Perhaps sometime during Saturday? Apart from that GG all around.

Gg. It didn't bug. I was just tired of getting my ass whooped up and down again and again. Your really good galv

Read a really interesting opinion piece about how Smash Bros is taking up too much room at EVO and it will seem to get worse from here on out.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/07/...sh-bros-divide

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I think that Melee should be the one to get cut, as sad as it is, since Smash 4 still has room to grow and is newer, and Melee is already pretty popular outside EVO anyways.

I honestly think that now we have 4...cut Melee altogether. People just need to get over that game. Or if they're gonna pander to those guys. Add an extra day to the con like the article says.

I started training up my Peach amiibo, at level 13 she's able to fight pretty well in the air and has learned to always go for Pokeballs and Assist trophies. he also knows how to grab her opponents now.

I'm so proud of my student.

Go on Empress, be the best overlord in the world of Smash!

So I found hope in the Smash 4 competitive scene.

There's this 14 year old kid who beat one of the best Smash 4 players in a Mexico tournament (with Meta Knight against Sheik, I might add) and has called ZeRo out. But ZeRo's gotta be all butthurt about it and be a dick to the kid by telling him if he can't come to the U.S. he won't deal with him.

Here she is! My first fully trained amiibo!
https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.ne...7724CMAWaME3oe

I'm feeling the strangest mixture of pride and mortal terror with her.
I did what i said i'd do and once she hit a high enough level i started rotating characters around to help her practice against other fighters, by the end of hher training she was deadly against certain characters.
I'm quite proud of my work here. :D

Anyone up for a match of Smash?

I would play but i spent most of the day playing Smash so i'm kind of tired.

Good news! The August update is actually coming out this friday! It'll feature Hyrule Castle and Peach's Castle,the replay feature and tourney mode. And new Mii Costumes!

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/201...e_on_july_31st

Except that King K Rool is now a Mii Costume....

Hope that doesn't kill support for his character though!

Hm, I'm not super hype for this update. The stages they chose aren't exciting (Peach's Castle and Hyrule Castle? Very meh). I want to see something a little more interesting than those, like one of the Pokemon Stadiums or Saffron City. I also want Onett in 3DS.

The Mii Fighter costumes are decent. I'd probably buy Chrom, not sure on K. Rool. I still want to see him playable, though.

I'm gonna buy Hyrule and Peach's castles, because they look fun to me to play on and this is the first game I've really been on the DLC train for.

Bitchin! I always loved N64 Peach's Castle and Hyrule Castle.

Getting new Mii costumes is good for the people who like the Mii Fighter feature, though I do feel K.Rool deserves better than just getting a set of clothes an avatar wears.

Nonetheless this is great news indeed.

Wow, Matrix, you really improved since we last fought.

Since I'm playing through Awakening right now, I'll likely get Chrom, especially considering how one of the Side Bs works perfectly for him.

Thanks! You're doing a lot better yourself! It's a lot harder to get a read on you.

I am buying those stages!

Hopefully I can improve enough so I can go to a Smash 4 tournament and not get my ass wrecked right away.

One more match before I gotta do important real world stuff okay?

Those were some good games!

LOL at that Mushroomy Kingdom match.

But yeah, I've been try to get better at reads and commit less to hard reads. Although with Marth, he has a lot of end lag, so everything is gonna be a hard read for him lol.

I meant to pick Battlefield, but my thumb slipped last second :lol
But dat suicide Flare Blitz tho >>

As for Marth, yeah. That's why I recommended focusing on his pokes than his combos, since a missed combo basically opens him up a lot.

Currently training up my Toon Link amiibo, hopefully he'll be strong, i am good as Toon link.

You ever tried using Custom Ganondorf? I was watching a match online where someone used the Down-special that went down more horizontally for his Wizard's foot the vertically and that dude was boss.

Is anybody interested in watching each of our replays on youtube once the update goes live?

I would, but I don't got a Wii U to upload replays from :lol
I'd be semi interested, though.

If I can figure out how to get my replays on my YT channel then yes; I think it would be good since we can figure out how we each play and hopefully we can help each other improve.

I was gonna do that anyway.

Now people can stop asking for Lloyd right?

Wow, Sakurai trying to stoke the most requested fighter fire with some of these costumes eh? What's next, Wolf, Snake and Issac? LOL.

Flying Man makes for a nice costume.
Lloyd? I hope he still has the chops to be a real character.
