As in every sport and game. Training is essential =)Practice, that's what I need... and then... I'll take Tanasten -_-

j/k
Toma said:1. You can shake the Wiimote to disturb the other one when he "Megastrikes"
nli10 said:I'm after sound beatings by Toma, Maxmars & Wes this week - it seems that more of you are on later evenings so I shall try hard to be on Monday night at 10pm BST (9pm GMT) and a bit before. As I work early I stop playing a bit before you guys do
Anyone I miss then I shall PM for later meetings up. Toma & Wes I set up, Maxmars is away (this bit is to remind me )
maxmars said:A default win is 2-0, much like football (at least in Italy)
Jaded Alyx said:It's the Nunchuck.
And while I have the chance, can I just say CURSE YOU TOMA!
Dash Kappei said:In Italy is 3-0.
maxmars said:Nli10, I will be online tomorrow at exactly 21 gmt and if the kids allow even a bit earlier. Thanks for staying up late for the match.
nli10 said:OK - even if the girlfriend decends and complains about me hogging the big TV I shall try to be online from 9:50-10:10 BST (which is I'm pretty sure 21:00 GMT). It's not staying up too late - if I play past 11 though I get tired and loose even worse than usual!
As you are hosting the match when I notice you are online I shall play Picross until you invite me to the match (DS is handy for this).
Ed: and the terrible thing is the default 2-0 losses I will recieve when I go on holiday may well end up being my best result. Must. Try. To. Practice...
muhahahaha!Toma said:At first I also did just the matches with the Gafguys. Then Haunted One has beaten me bad and I had to go train too.
It's 3:0 everywhere. Official FIFA rule.Toma said:Just because I got interested... does anyone know whether a default win is 3-0 also in other parts of the world?
I hope we'll change the stadiums around a bit for the next Cup. The game is full of crazy awesome arenas, would be a shame to ignore them all to play in the default one only.kkg1701 said:which stadium is round 2 being played on?
KK
EDIT: Nevermind, I thought we were going to have different stadiums per rounds.

oops, sorry if I got in the way of your scheduled game somehow. Definitely wasn't my intention.Toma said:First of all we should end this one xD
Has anyone seen MFauli? We wanted to meet now. (17:00 German Time)
=(
EDIT:
Haunty... I HAAAAAAAATE that arena xD ****ing Crystal shit. Bad memories with the finals of the crystal cup there -.-
But otherwise good matches =)
(5:2, 1:6, 1:4 -> training made me a better player again =) finally got the better of you )
Haunted One said:oops, sorry if I got in the way of your scheduled game somehow. Definitely wasn't my intention.
Haunted One said:Anyway...you definitely improved because of your training. you didn't let me get any items, I think that was the key to your win in the first series. Couldn't do anything against your high balls (how do you intercept those regularly?)
Toma said:First of all you have to train the use of items more. I think they can make a really big difference if you just keep an open Eye on yours and the opponents Items.
-> Post 204Toma said:2. If the opponent passes the ball through the air you can steal the ball by pressing Z + A or Z+B if you are standing in front of the player who will get the ball. These moves make the character jump and catch the ball. Z+A is passing and Z+B is shooting. (I once could make it to steal the ball with Z+B and directly shoot the goal )
Haunted One said:Why not changing formation and stadium between preliminary draft and final phase.. Would that be ok with you guys? In case, which stadium would you prefer?
maxmars said:Why not changing formation and stadium between preliminary draft and final phase.. Would that be ok with you guys? In case, which stadium would you prefer?
:lol I guess that happens when people drop out on me 10 seconds before the end of the game because I'm in the lead and they have no chance of winning.Toma said:What are you doing? @ Haunty
First I saw a 5:1 win ratio in your statistics and a minute later it was 6:0
A minute ago you had a 8:1 win ratio and now 9:0.
I want to be able to do that too =(
Already answered.Dash Kappei said:CAPNDRAKE, HAUNTED ONE and FRESQUITO
I've sent you all PMs so that we can arrange our matches between tomorrow and the day after. As I told before I'm not at home in Milan anymore and I'll be in Rome since next Monday. Here at my parents I don't have broadband, so I'll manage to play at my gf's house and I'll be able to do so tomorrow (tue) or the day after (wed) between 19:00 GMT and 21:00 GMT. Just answer my PMs asap so that we can arrange time and day of our matches in a way that, hopefully, should work fine for both of us.
I'll be sure to check my PM (better then answer the thread since PMs are easily spotted when you're browsing GAF) at least twice a day from now to wednesday afternoon.
Ciao!
Dash
Totally! part of the game and all that.maxmars said:To be honest I'm against random stadiums because the ones with effects (most new ones) get in the way of players.. Would you like your last shot to be blocked by a cow? Or your team to be decimated in crystal stadium?
Haunted One said:ah, thanks for the tips, Toma. Just doesn't seem to work that often for me.
Just played a guy who always did the Boo-trick (vanishing into the goalie + shoot), lost 7:2 because he used it over and over. Frustrating experience.
I wish. He was a good player, had two Boos and blocked 10 orange mega-strikes.Toma said:Your player has just to stand VERY close to the player who will catch that ball. In fact he can even stand behind him. And you have to time that right. Its a bit tricky, but once you got the hang of it =)
And that Boo thing. Its hard if the other player uses it mixed with different tactics but for such fellas I just keep one Item, one player and one eye especially for Boo. Normally there wasnt a player who had 3 boos. If its just one you can keep an eye on him. And anyways most of the time players who play that way are week against Megastrikes.
Haunted One said:I wish. He was a good player, had two Boos and blocked 10 orange mega-strikes.
To be honest, I believe he would have beaten me with proper tactics as well, which makes the thing just the more frustrating. If you're good enough to play properly, why be cheap?
Nah, yours was a fair winHaunted One said:Just barely won against fresquito, but
1) I'm still behind him and Drake in my group and
2) he won against me in a friendly right after 2-0
So now my self-esteem and my chance reaching the semi-finals are pretty much gone. :lol
Thanks for the games, fresquito. I'll let you post the scores, as you were the home player.
kk, 30 minutes left.
The second game went 0:2, making the official result fresquito 1 (5) - Haunted 2 (7)fresquito said:Nah, yours was a fair win
I found myself quite srusty, to be honest. It's been a few days since I last played. I've been having some problems with my connection and hadn't been able to log in that much.
I don't quite remember the results. I know I won 4-1 the first and I lost 1-4 the last. But the in between round is a bit hazy to me. I think it went something like 1-3. Can you please confirm?
In any case, it's fresquito 1 - Haunted 2.
Congrats, you did pretty fine
Yeah, same here. Only if I could schedule matches more easily...Haunted One said:The second game went 0:2, making the official result fresquito 1 (5) - Haunted 2 (7)
Yeah, I had lots of problems with your quick passing and shooting with your captain in the first game, but then managed to adapt a bit better and pretty much neutralised Pete Piranha for the rest of the game.
Man, looks like I won't pass the first round... still, I'm having tons of fun, so it's all good. Love the game, love playing with you guys.
Glad you had fun as well.kkg1701 said:It's more like I can't place myself for sh*t to even get a chance to score
I also think I need to train catching megastrikes, seems every time I take a break from playing I forget how to catch them
But it was fun, much more than the ranked one I played earlier today. How do I stop guys who use the hammer bro spam? Nothing I usually do works for me.
:lol I know what you mean, I used a Shy Guy for a long time because I love his goal animations and his special shot - so cute when he jumps on that torpedo! >_<kkg1701 said:Maybe I should try out Wario instead of Peach, but it's hard I like Peach too much

maxmars 2(3) - NLi10 0(1)
As you could see nli i'm quite at the same skill level as you, it's been quite balanced the whole time. You also won the rematch playing very aggressively with Daisy, good show!
I tried to invite you but it kept saying it wasn't sure you were in my zone, weird...
