That is pretty nifty. Unfortunately we dont usually play with items so that diminishes use greatly


NO ITEMS
FINAL DESTINATION
FOX ONLY

That only applies in melee

Fox is lighter and softer in brawl. I dont think such a shfg setup can happen in brawl

I think its more falco. They made it so that Fox is speedy, Falco is medium, and Wolf is heavy brutal. Falco even inherits the laser pistol and is the only one who can shoot it like that. Falco is pretty much melee-Fox except he's slower a little, but not slower than Link.

I agree.


Except the fact that you can easily meteor cancel Mario's forward air and most of the time. Any attempt to meteor smash someone using Mario's forward air offstage usually gets you killed, even on hit-confirm.

Final Destination is generally frowned upon entirely in competitive Brawl. You hardly ever see people pick that stage anymore, the reason being that FD has absolute terrible collision sides below the ledges and the flat surface with no platforms promotes projectile camping. Since many characters utilize platforms as strategies for mix-ups, FD usually mitigates the metagame due to the lack thereof. So if you're not Falco (who has laser camping), Ice Climbers (infinite chaingrabbz, flat surfaces are beneficial), or Meta Knight (honestly doesn't matter which stage you're on), FD wasn't the most optimal choice to say the least.

So I'm going to try to start doing regular gaming streams with newer games and a bunch of people on Skype if I can get them. I'm looking at probably Saturday evenings every week. We'll see. Tonight I'm going to be testing the waters and kind of getting a feel for how I want to do this with a sneak peak at A Hat In Time. Probably around 7:30 or 8:00 EST at http://www.twitch.tv/mechtiger

Join me and help me figure things out! Also, definitely come watch me play A Hat In Time because I've been excited as fuck for this game and I finally got the Alpha.

That would be a lot of fun. I'd totally get in on the Skype groups if you're playing free to play games :)
I'm too poor to be buying any more games, though.

You got the alpha for A Hat In Time? Fucking cool man, that game seems like it's going to be pretty great. Definitely getting it when it's out.

Yeah, I'd like to find some cool multiplayer F2P games. Also Rust on Stone's server, Disco Dodgeball, Minecraft, Starbound, etc. for people that own those

An interesting F2P game you might is one called Robocraft. You build your own vehicles block by block and fight in them.

If you're looking for a multiplayer F2P game, I suggest Red Eclipse. Free fast-paced first-person-shooter with bad(-ass) graphics. I don't play it for the graphics though. I play it for the adrenaline rush. It's like Unreal Tournament semi-modernized (I think), with graphics like Quake (I think). Oh what am I saying...? Just try it...
One small thing: it's got a small playerbase. It still needs some love.
Or Planetside 2 (3-faction huge warfare)
Or Warframe (Space ninjas)
