What is all this bracket talk? Is there a thread tourney?

Check the second post of the thread. I run a GAF ranbat season. If you read it and are interested, let me know and I will dig up the sign-up survey.
I didn't sign up in time.
I ended up playing Beats. Still want to play?

It's Karsticles' ranbats! Basically, after signing up you'll be entered into a random bracket based on whatever Karsticles feels like basing it on, and from there every week you'll be asked to play a someone in your bracket. Try to get the most wins you can so you can move up to the next highest bracket, and face stronger opponents!
There's no shame in losing though, because then you'll either be moved to a lower bracket or stay in your current position, meaning you're more likely to face people of similar skill levels. The thrill of fighting your opponent for that "1" on the results spreadsheet, no matter how trivial it all is (the only thing you get from winning aside from a number higher than 0 is the admiration of your GAF peers), will put your mind on the competitive track needed for victory!
Go ahead and sign up if you want, but be wary that you will have an obligation to play at least one set weekly, and if you fail to do so even after a one-week grace period, you'll be banned for the next season! D:
...um, I kinda like explaining things but yeah the second post in the thread works too.

Close Combat is a way more viable option for Ike than his regular side B in my opinion.

God, why do you want all these shitty stages?

All pure shit. Shit shit shit. You spend half the match doing nothing because of stage transitions, get hit by hazards, or you just get fucked by Lylat tilting slightly.
GGs, but that is incredibly annoying. I wish more people in the ranbats voted to ban them, because they are a really unenjoyable experience.
Sure. I will play whoever comes to the room first.
Why are you complaining about stages you selected? -_-Last match, Karsticles.

The custom Falco reflector is beast. So is Ike's custom counter. Palutena is still pretty shit with customs, it seems. I wish I had something to gain from them.

I actually chose them because I figured they weren't too bad, but as we played the flaws in them got exposed to me very quickly, and I knew things were really fucked up when, on the transformation stages, we spent half the match camping each other.
Call me naive for sure, but now I'm heavily reconsidering supporting them all. I just don't think stages with transformations work well with the kind of meta Sm4sh has, encouraging defensive play massively over offensive play and overemphasizing using the stage to your advantage over your character's strengths.
The Lylat tilting shit is especially bad because I don't think that was in Brawl, so no doubt the dev team fucked up on that one.
I complain about them because, well, it didn't seem right to me that I could get the win through taking advantage of the stage despite me doing exactly that. I know, I'm being hypocritical, but I think my message is valid all the same.
Also, now that I think about it I don't recall seeing you use custom moves with Bowser. Are they really not good options?

Lylat Cruise did tilt in Brawl, that's why it was a great counterpick.
Captain Rage Quit 69

I worded it poorly, I was referring to how when the ship tilts your character will step off the ground for a split second. Often it leads to actions getting interrupted at best, and bad inputs at worst.
I hope I explained it properly.

I've never seen or heard of that happening ever, in Brawl or this game.

Anyone up for some games? Customs or no customs, doesn't matter to me. I am a bit rusty from playing other games (Majora's Mask).
I am (finally)
We're friends already right? I'll set the room. It's Martin.
I'm up for customs I've never used them really.

Yup. I haven't really used customs either, but it is always good to test new things, especially if the ranbats allow customs.

GGs Karst. That Gannondorf is pretty beast.
Nah, keep supporting them. They are great stages. They only add to the meta game imo. Well, I personally hate Lylat though.

GGs Shamrock, that was rather disheartening. I can't seem to find a character I am happy playing.
Like stage counterpicks.
Browser has one decent custom, and I am not a fan of it. Customs are pretty shit for him.
Tournaments often have dumb rules.

Battlefield sucks. Too small, and ugh @ those platforms.
I have, dozens of times. It's never happened to me. I'd need to see some actual proof.

All great, viable stages. With Smash I think it only helps competitively to have a variety of platform stages from which to take advantage of the unique characteristics of the smash fighting system and physics.

Someone play me. Room is up.
I think hazards and transitions are both bad. Especially when the transitions have ground structures that lead to stand-stills.

I can't go out of my way to prove it at the moment, but I assure you it does exist.
You'll have to pardon me as I create a replay to demonstrate it.
I'm content with most of those, though I personally think that Skyloft's and Delfino's transformations affect the game too much, and in Delfino's case I believe the blastzones are moved around. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
I like Halberd, but the ship has killed me a few times because I got stuck under the sides. ><;;;
I've already expressed my issue with Lylat.
I've heard that Wuhu is becoming controversial due to its transformations promoting camping. What do you think, Shamrock? I understand certain transformations like the volcano and cruise ship could do this.

Thanks, those matches were down to the wire each time! I need more Falco practice since he's my Megaman counter, and I need to learn more than that one match.
