@TheZigzagoon Cool! I play with Marth as well. He wasn't the first character I used, but when I discovered him, I really liked him. So he's always been a favorite of mine. I was really sad when his moves got downgraded in later games, though. Besides Marth, I also play with Pikachu and Peach. 

That is interesting because I also have friends who spend more time playing Brawl (or the 3DS/Wii U version) rather than Melee. Some of them play casually and others play competitively. It's a weird mixed bag. But I think that's a nice aspect of the Smash community. You can met all kinds of neat people who love the same game. It's nice to hear Smash Ultimate is returning to the Melee roots. I'll need to save up some money to buy it since it sounds like a great game. Have you found characters you like to use in Smash Ultimate yet?

I feel you there. There's a lot of techniques to learn and master, but I think that's half the fun. One technique I remember trying to master was Marth's Down A move (in the air). Finding the sweet spot to quickly finish opponents was challenging, but when I pulled it off, it felt very rewarding. I did play competitively for a bit (sadly, not good enough to play in any tournaments, though, lol). Unfortunately, these days I don't really have time to  You should totally join a local tournament when you feel confident enough to test out your skills  

@monkeybanana4 I’m the same, I think Sheik was my first choice until I used Marth just because I found Marth easier to use. Peach is fun to use too!

I really liked the 3DS version it was really fun and nice to have as a portable game, and I couldn’t get a Wii U at the time for the Wii U version, my fiancée and I used to play the 3DS version with each other a lot, and we’ll still bring Brawl out every once in a while! The best thing about Smash is every game is timeless. The characters I’m using in Ultimate atm are Marth, Lucina, Sonic, Little Mac, Fox, Falco and Ganondorf. Ganondorf is looking to be a favourite as they gave him a speed boost

I’m more than willing to sit and learn techniques for hours, I find it fun! I graduate from university in March and have graduation in July so I may have time after March to make a start! One thing I’ve always been pretty good at is spiking opponents, there’s no better feeling than jumping off the edge with your opponent and down A them in to the void xD If I get good enough I’ll check out a tournament or two, if there is any local to me xD 

@TheZigzagoon Same here! I find Marth is quite nimble and has great range with his sword in Melee. Yes, I love doing aerial combos with Peach since she can float in the air xD She has that fun attack where she can throw vegetables. I used to love spamming it when playing with friends for fun, lol.

I agree. The Smash series is a timeless game and can be played by anyone. It's simple to pick up, but takes time to master. I think that's the beauty of it. You can be any at level and enjoy the game. I was so excited when I first heard it would be released on the 3DS. I could finally bring it anywhere and not have to worry about bringing a ton of wires to play with friends xD It had lag, but it was convenient to play on the go.

Good to hear about Ganondorf! He was such a cool character to use in Melee. It seems the speed of the game is considerably fast in Smash Ultimate - really reminds me a lot like Melee. How do you feel about Lucina? Some people criticize that she is somewhat of a Marth clone despite some subtle differences. On a side note, I like how they incorporated all the different stages in Smash Ultimate. Fountain of Dreams looks really beautiful in Ultimate. Do you have any favorite stages?

That's good to hear! (Good luck with school  And with Smash as well xD) It does require lots of time, but I agree with you. I think it's super fun to spend that time learning and perfecting techniques. Haha, same here! It's such an evil tactic especially when your opponent is trying to save themselves, but you crush all hopes with those spike moves. Even worse when they are at a low percentage, lol. I remember trying to learn combos with the grab move since you can pull off some pretty neat combos with that move. Just curious, but how do you practice your techniques? (i.e. training regiment and the sort)

Sort of off-topic, but what kind of other video games do you play besides Smash?

@violetchain That sucks, pretty decent VK vocalist minus his screams, other than that he was solid!

Well, the entire Visual Kei scene knows to not work with him, so he probably went non-Vkei in order to work with people who have no idea who he is lol. 

@AimiGen7 That’s very true, I remember he was a diva in Avanchick, and if the rumours are true, just a tad bit criminal

Thanks for reminding me to watch Zelda CDi YTP, it's been a year.

I do have a soft spot for atmospheric 90s OSTs, tho.

@colorfuljinsei They're the best types of YTP! Don't forget the mayor from this game who says "This is illegal, you know" XD

I would put this theme as one of my favourite themes from any early 90's game, it just sounds really good imo!

Hey, wtf, Yoshiatsu is a REALLY good vocalist. Of course he isn't technically perfect, but 1) he has a very genuine and recognizable voice, 2) he does really expressive arrangements, all along along with his performance, and 3) at least he does hit the notes. Considering he accomplishes these three items into a scene full of shit self proclaimed "vocalists"... it's like finding water in the desert lol

@saiko have you watched/listened to their latest live DVD... ?

I'm a fan of Yoshiatsu's voice in the studio. His live performance in that dvd was appalling for 95% of it and since I'm not in JP to go see them live myself, my faith has been crushed. 

Oh, didn't watched it. Gonna try it... but I don't want to have my faith crushed too...

Damn, need to get that song on iTunes, for some reason i don't have it 🤔

Cuartet for life 🎵

It's on their best of album, Photograph. A lossless rip exists here on MH. 

@AimiGen7 gonna download that best of album, was getting bored of my usual music 

@platy Omg that is the best description I've heard XD What was he like live in terms of attitude?

He was high energy, the fans really act like they are worshipping a god. At the start he told the audience to get on their knees and move their arms up and down like he was a holy artefact lol I just stood there like 'nope' and during the break, before another band came on stage, he hogged the mic and talked for about half an hour while the girls giggled at whatever he was saying. They're not bad live, I just dislike the atmosphere and him. 

@platy Holy shit! That's such a dick move, no way I'd get on my knees and act like I'm praying to him! XD Actually love this tea so thank you! XD 

Glad to hear it worked out. 

Congrats!

Congrats! 

@suji @Ozileras10 @colorfuljinsei @monkeybanana4 @YuyoDrift @platy Thank you all so much! ❤️ 

Good luck

Use Bullguard. They have good deals at the end of the year and you can have it on multiple devices. I know money is hard as a student, but it's a good investment. 

@platy

Even an offer now,

But I will check it out, I can even get 21%(Dutch tax) off the price.

But would need to discuss that at home...

But I use

AVAST (FREE)

and Malware 

And once in a while I go to a IT forum to clean out all shit. 

If I find a difficult get rid of virus or malware I always visit them. 

https://www.hijackthis.nl/

Forum is fully in Dutch, but I'm sure the people there do know English. 

Can give an helping hand if some want to try it out, since there are a few things you have to do first. 

But even with paid virus software,

always watch out what you download and which websites you will visit.

also source material for what's easily the best vid on the internet

 @colorfuljinsei I LOVE IT! 

love buck-tick

September 19th.

@Alkaloid Thank you, I'm hoping we get a live DVD of it tbh 

you might wanna try Facade over return for Snorlax as there's a chance it might get burned. try giving Mence the Lum Berry and Koko the Life Orb. you could play around defensive sets for both Vaporeon and T-tar as they're both quite bulky in SpDef and see which one works best. good luck on the tournament!

@saishuu Facade Snorlax is interesting! Would it get STAB and boosted from stat boosts? I might do Lum berry Mence and Life orb Koko as it seems like a sensible idea! I was thinking having Vaporeon hold leftovers, and Tyranitar hold Assault Vest Thank you! And thank you for the advice! 

it does get STAB from Facade! sure it's weaker, but it helps when you're aflicted by status. you're welcome, btw!

@Mihi @-NOVA- it's just a vocal cover, and it will most likely be recorded. The song will be missing huge chunks I guess but oooooh welllllll XD 

Good Luck Thats really cool !!! 

@-NOVA- Thank you! 

They were invited as the special guest. Also bands of all sizes like to play at Area because it's iconic in the vk scene. Not quite on the same level as Nightmare but bands like Mejibray and Born still played at Area way after they got popular enough to fill it.

@Duwang I didn't know that! Thank you!
