[Ghost is Bad]

im just speccing lol

 

[theprodigy]

nice, are you gonna be following all 3 games or just some of them

anyway looking at Project M's views on hitbox maybe it's not such a bad decision, it helps that it's basically front page material there

lol I saw that, I was wondering if someone else noticed it

Spoiler

it's hitbox copypasta, get it right

I feel like one of the reasons Melee is great is that pretty much all the commentators at the big tournaments are great. NMW is not one of those commentators.

Definitely helps, I can't think of any big name commentators that I simply don't like hearing

PM commentators usually leave a lot to be desired in comparison.

 

[fredrancour]

Woah. Fly Amanita wobbling? Didn't think he did it much, if ever. When did that change?

 

[Mumei]

What is meant by "Shy Guy DI"? I see it sometimes during matches on YI and I'm not sure how to parse it.

 

[Jigolo]

LMAO M2K

HE JUST BLEW HIS LOAD

Shy guys are weird. One way they are weird is when you hit them after an opponent hits you, it's the same as when you are knocked into another player and counts as another hit. So you can DI that hit.

I assume that's what it refers to.

 

[NormalFish]

Rudolph's fighting stance gets me every damn time. So funny :lol

 

[chaosblade]

Apparently doubles for all games have been canceled at Paragon.

Bad look for the TOs.

That's... pretty bullshit. Bummer.

What happened?

 

[Anth0ny]

oh my god this picture blows my mind:

that's mango and leffen playing friendlies on a random set up

LOOK AT THE CROWD

back at apex 2013, mango and armada used to do the same thing. the only people watching were me, ppmd, kirby kaze and like 3 other people.

how the times have changed. melee is so much bigger now than it was in 2013

Ouch. Things started late too, iirc? Must be some logistics issues going on.

Yep. I remember Mango and Armada (and maybe PP Mango?) doing the same at Apex 2012, and the crowd was pretty small. Seems like top players can barely go out on the floor with general population these days, without getting surrounded or even harassed.

 

[Jigolo]

What happened?

Charged side-b finish with Pichu off the edge against a Falcon in pools

 

[sinxtanx]

Paragon PM top 64 started on http://www.hitbox.tv/ProjectMCentral

looks like doubles are back on for PM!

 

[chaosblade]

Mr Lz vs Lunchables already? Seems early for that.


Yesss, happy to see him win. Lunchables in losers in like round one though, that's nuts.



M2K on now, playing Seagull Joe.

M2K's Falcon, with the 0 to death. Then a SD.

 

[Codeblue]

Looks like M2K got sick of winning.

 

[chaosblade]

Hitbox is so much smoother than Twitch. I can never watch a tournament on Twitch without a ton of problems, and Hitbox was nearly flawless yesterday, and no problems today.

 

[sinxtanx]

hitbox servers has way less to do tho

 

[theprodigy]

On the plus side, that means PM is at the top on hitbox!

 

[Pappasman]

I like PM, but I would play it waaaay more if they actually released the n64 texture pack they had in their april fools video.

 

[chaosblade]

hitbox servers has way less to do tho

Regardless of the reason, PM at Paragon has been a better experience as a viewer than any stream I've ever watched on Twitch.


The comeback by Mr Lz. Then the 0 to death.

Want to see him win it, but top 8 is going to be rough.

 

[Anth0ny]

what time does this shit start? why couldn't they be doing doubles right now?

 

[Jigolo]

Melee top 64 starts in 1 hr 10 min I believe. Lots of matches I really want to see

 

[chaosblade]

Was hoping Bladewise would beat IPK.

Plup is so good. Even in PM.

 

[emb]

Schedule: http://paragon.vsgaming.org/schedule

As always, things will probably run late though.

Also, shoutouts to how stacked the bracket is: http://paragon.vsgaming.org/brackets?b=la_2015_melee_singles

 

[sinxtanx]

PM Top 8 gon' start as soon as m2k (I think) moseys himself over to the setup

edit: nope, iPK vs StereokiDD

 

[chaosblade]

Melee bracket looks awesome.

Wonder if Stereokidd can double eliminate IPK.

IPK too good.


M2K was so close to bringing that back.

Project M ‏@ProjectMGame 2m2 minutes ago

With help from Paragon, we were able to record new crowd chants for the Pokemon, Roy, and Mewtwo!

Neat.


And that sick 0-death by Oracle on Junebug.


Mr Lz up 2-0 on Hbox. Hbox changing to Mario? 3-0, with the bucket finish.

 

[Peléo]

So many great melee matches going off-screen. I wish we had VGbootcamp2 for secondary stream.

Melee not on at all right now? VSGC isn't streaming anything and VGBC has Smash 4 up.


And Hbox over IPK. Now let's go M2K.

M2K clutching it out, wow.

 

[sinxtanx]

m2k reverse 3-0-ing June daaaaaaammmmnn

 

[Mumei]

Where can I see Project M? Or is it over?

 

[Pappasman]

PM is on over on hitbox. ProjectMCentral is the channel.

 

[Mumei]

Thanks. I was wondering why I wasn't seeing it on Twitch.

 

[chaosblade]

Oracle knows the G&W matchup well, looks tough for Mr Lz. Hope he takes it though, game 2 was a good start.

And game 3, this is crazy.

Woooow, he won.

 

[Pappasman]

LZ is crazy.

Recovery looks way too powerful in PM still. Really something I dislike.

 

[chaosblade]

Depends on the character, most have been toned down a lot. Some like ROB and G&W are still pretty crazy though.

And this Fox/Puff matchup is basically PAL Melee.

 

[Pappasman]

Ya it depends on the character. Too many people just let their opponents back on the stage for free and it looks to me that its because theres no way to edgeguard some of these recoveries.

Melee just started on vsgc.

 

[also]

Project M finals
http://www.hitbox.tv/ProjectMCentral

 

[chaosblade]

LOL the pop off. One game down, five to go?

 

[Pappasman]

HOLD THE FUCKING LEDGE.

Jesus christ. Oracle let go free kills because he was too scared to grab ledge against GW. That was full on stupid and something I've seen a lot in PM. It's not hard people.

 

[chaosblade]

"13 year old kid won? Joke game."

 

[sinxtanx]

Well earned by Mr. Lz

 

[NormalFish]

I didn't realize melee top 64 was on vsgc. Missed so many good matches D:

 

[theprodigy]

lol this thread is more active than the other thread for all the weekend tournaments

anyway Hbox beats Professor Pro in PM and loses to him in Melee? lolwut

also in Smash 4, ESAM is washed up confirmed, and Dabuz lost to Rich Brown in winners? lmao

You can DI when you get sent flying into the shy guys

Here's an extreme example for ya
