Lurker > ExThaNemesis

if you get Mythra off random won't you not be as good coz you only have tilt stick on for her

So for our seventh iteration we are doing things a bit differently. When you sign-up, please list your two MAIN CHARACTERS. Your opponents for this tournament will have to pick which of YOUR mains they want to play as. It's going to be pretty nuts, I think. My buddy Nick tried to make it this week but couldn't due to work. He's gonna try again in two weeks, I think he's got a fun character spread. I can't wait to lose to all of y'all with Sephiroth.

I want to try to get enough people to do Round Robin with two groups of like... 6 at least so everyone gets to try out everyone else's mains. I think stingers probably has a huge advantage here because he's so tough with most of the cast, but who knows.

Ermine is laughing and rubbing his hands together as the only Duck Hunt/Ridley main on the planet.

Sign-ups:

1. ExThaNemesis (Sephiroth, Byleth)
2. Nick (King K. Rool, Mewtwo)

i have no idea, he didn't even watch the oscars and right now he's listening to a panel talk about how much smith overshadowed all the awards my dad never cared about

I don't get it either, and I mean that about myself. I haven't watched the Oscars in 15 years and have a general disdain for Hollywood. I don't know WHY I had such a strong opinion on this incident and why I felt the need to be Correct about it. It's fucking bizarre.

Since your buddy Nick is why the reverse mains tournament is in two weeks (you wouldn't want his first tournament to be a gimmick one), does that timeline still apply?

Sure does.

If he competes in two weeks we're still doing reverse mains. I hope I don't face him coz I'm clueless with K. Rool lol

My buddy Nick had to drop out because his work needed him, but we've got decent enough numbers.

Need more signups!

1045 dropped y'all

It's so much fucking fun. I love this story.

Agreed. Because lord did I play terribly today.

got absolutely bodied by some Yoshi camper in R1. I am definitely rusty as hell. Today feeling like an 0-2'er

Koala you won't do round robin or loser's bracket you said?

It's a shame to see such behavior. Maguire hasn't had a great season, but media has really bandwagoned it, so now people are booing him when he's playing for the national team despite being great for them last year.

Exactly. If Arsenal fans can get it together and support Xhaka, England fans can support Maguire FFS.

Dude's the only one who took a good penalty in the Euro Final, too.

This is one of those World Cups where you don't have to be terrified of anyone, but you also can lose to just about anyone.

England are good enough to look at any team they come against and say "Right we can beat them"

Although it's better than the Terry, Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney generation that was impossible to root for

England fans are weird because they carry a lot of hatred for players over from club level and Maguire is hated by his OWN team's fanbase so it's kind of a perfect storm.

I will admit it's REALLY hard for me to root for Harry Kane when I spend most of my life despising him until it's time to root for England.

Fantastic that the England fans are booing Harry Maguire outside of Wembley.

Great atmosphere to create before the biggest tournament of their lives. Get behind the team FFS.

The weather here in November isn't really that hot. I don't think it's much different to June or July in like Toronto.

Qatar are by no means a bad team - Asian champions, etc - but they'd be the worst team in pot 1 no matter how you slice it.

Good info. I'm glad they're playing this in the winter. Are you gonna be there this winter XIC? Gonna make it to some of the England games?! I'm so jealous if so

I really just want Wales to get in now and I'll be happy with things.

I'll be rooting for England and USA, but then also Japan Wales and Canada.

Honestly don't know if I'd want to play Qatar if I'm Canada. Host nation used to desert weather opening the tournament against a cold weather team?

I don't know how atrociously bad the Qatar football team is or anything I'm just saying that has upset written on it.

I took today off so I'll get to compete in the Coinbox today

This weekend? I would've thought it would be next

I may or may not be able to participate since I'm going to be moving all day. I'll probably have to decide last minute

it's always been every two weeks!

Off to a good start. I should stop waiting a week to post these.

This is the last normal style tournament for a few weeks because two weeks from now we'll be doing REVERSE MAINS.

Which means you'll have to play as your opponents mains. You'll get two choices for everyone. But that's not until next time. This week will proceed as normal.

And I think dudes should be VERY wary of the women in their lives who are like "I WANT YOU TO DEFEND ME LIKE WILL SMITH"

they will "let's you and him fight" you into a jailcell or an early grave.

If you're gonna be psycho enough to attack someone on live TV at an awards show over an extremely tame joke, you should do more than just slap them. Like, go full ham.

And then sitting down and breaking into tears over it like that afterward is just so... so fucking shockingly embarrassing. I have never been more embarrassed for a person than I was for Will Smith last night.

Kudos to Chris Rock for barely moving from the slap and also for keeping the show rolling along right after. Excellent showman.

incredinly unhinged response from will smith. he looks like such an absolute clown for that reaction

The world cup:

The only time Americans pretend to care a little about the sport.

Which middle of the pack Euro team takes the US out in the quarterfinals?

Woah now. I would say I'm probably the biggest football fan on the board. I care about it year round (come on Arsenal!)

And we didn't even make the last World Cup so getting eliminated by a middle of the road Euro team in the quarterfinals would be fantastic for us.

luv that will smith being unhinged and slapping someone on live TV is the singular relevant thing to happen at the oscars this year

Nice work USA.

Makes the tie against Costa Rica MUCH less nervy and I'm sure Costa Rica appreciates this because it locks up 4th at worst for them.

Not saying your wife is that way, it's just what a lot of the online discourse is like.

I have so little patience for the UWU NO SPOILERS crowd who won't take even the smallest step to help themselves.

UWU NO SPOILERS but refuses to avoid engaging online w the fanbase in any way

UWU NO SPOILERS but refuses to try and read/watch the thing in question as soon as they can

UWU NO SPOILERS but the thing happened literally a year ago

I won't go out of my way to spoil stuff for people but it definitely makes me think less of someone if they're like that

There have been some exceptional fan colorings already.

And even next week there'll be some anime only dipshit crying about it

100% Joy Boy had the same fruit. All the reincarnation/possession theories have to be dropped by this point.

I REALLY want to make Luffy's pic my profile pic on fb but I know someone's gonna fucking cry about spoilers.

Luffy vs Ipkiss

Broly blows up the planet and beats them both

I just feel like they could've taken him more seriously. I feel like more than just Kizaru should've been sent to Saobody after he punched that Tenryubito asshole.

And they could've put someone down at Fishman Island knowing that he would have to roll through there eventually.

DoomTheGyarados posted...

Real Talk they tried to kill Luffy in TB but Kuma was like 'lol nope' then Marineford three different admirals, their top tiers, tried to swing at Luffy but they missed. Then Luffy was protected by THE DARK KING for two years. Fishman Island isn't on their radar really and after that you had the wrong admiral in Doffy's arc because he cared about justice. Then he was at Big Mom's house.

Like.. they tried when they could

LMAO he literally broke into their house in Impel Down. They had him under their fuckin nose and couldn't grab his ass.

I feel like there was too much going on at Marineford for them to give Luffy the attention he deserved, and their reach in the New World is severely limited by the powerhouses sailing around out there.

Their best shot was in Saobody. Thank goodness for Kuma and Rayleigh.

the only evidence I have that there's a God is that of all the times I could've been born, I was born while One Piece was being written

I seriously can't believe there are people out there who refuse to read the greatest adventure story ever told.

I haven't really read thoroughly but if they knew this young upstart was causing all these problems and his power was similar to this fruit that they REALLY WANTED nailed down, it tracks that ESPECIALLY after Enies Lobby they should've tried to get him taken care of but

you know what, it tracks that an arrogant government would keep overlooking a problem until it became far too serious. ours does it all the time

Can I just say how fucking GREAT it is that we're this far into One Piece and we get to have this discussion. There's still all this mystery surrounding a core element of the MAIN FUCKIN CHARACTER

Oda too good. Ur fav could never

DoomTheGyarados posted...

Keep in mind luffy had been on the radar for a long time, actually.

Which makes it even more head-scratching that this comes as a big surprise to anyone in the know.

Crescent-Moon posted...

Isn't the US historically pretty bad at Mexico though

Yeah but it was there for the taking tonight with the Azteca basically empty. Massive opportunity missed.

As cool as it is for Northern Macedonia to have made it this far, I really don't want them to go through at Portugal's expense. This is gonna be Ronaldo's last World Cup and they should've already been through. That abhorrent non-goal call in their match against Serbia will loom SO LARGE if they don't make it.

They should've nailed it down tonight with the chances they had. Jackass Pulisic fires right at Ochoa, and the less said about the Pefok chance the better.
