POST STUFF
I'll be leaving GameRiot. It was a fun time writing and sharing my thoughts with you the reader here. One of the joys for me was getting people to openly get interested in the "Super Smash Bros." tournament scene. Rather than just eating what was on the table, people were wondering how they could enter tournaments, and I enjoyed that. One of my bosses from about 10 years ago told me on his final days with the comp… More

Burger's win ended Fuentes' eight-tournament win streak, the longest since last August, when Fuentes won eight in a row. The difference in the streaks was the games (the current streak was Brawl, the past one was Melee). The tournament weekend ended on a positive note for Burger. A day earlier at a 31-person tournament in Rancho Cucamonga, he decided… More

I told them I was going to wait a week while I practiced the courses. I didn't want to play online immediately and have about 25 "noob losses." Well, after three days with the game, and hours of frustration unlocking the remainder of the courses, karts and characters (seriously, we're entering "Battletoads" toughness), I tried online play. After about 30 minutes, I was disconnected. But I

You must have a mushroom to do it. Powersliding turbos will not work. I jumped out of my seat when I did it; I couldn't believe it. This just happened about 30 seconds ago, so I'm going to try to get the replay up as soon as possible to share. Update: Here's the video. Also, I just saw a different video that showed someone using a red mini turbo to dodge a blue shell. However, the video quality was crappy, so I'm still not sold. Updated 12:29 p.m. … More

I'm about halfway through the modes, so my hope is to get it done by late this afternoon. Sadly, I have to stop playing for a couple hours to upload "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" tournament videos. = = = I believe it was IGN that said that some of the regular modes can be brutal. I got a chance to play several 100cc Grand Prix cups, and they were correct. This is 100cc! This isn't even the main course (150cc). How brutal can it be? As I mentioned last … More

Yeah, I did say on my Instant Messaging prompter earlier tonight that I wasn't going to check my computer, but I'm taking a quick break from playing Mario Kart Wii. That's right. I was able to get the game today, and I've been playing it for a few hours now. I'm taking a break just to share some quick thoughts. I'll go into a deeper thought Friday and throughout the next few weeks. * -- No snaking? That's fine. Nintendo might have taken out the one thing that separated the elite from the aver… More

This should be one of the biggest announcements in the history of the franchise, given that this is the 20th anniversary of the game. But who will be the person? I don't think I've ever been correct in guessing the player that has been on the cover. Last year, it was Vince Young; I thought it was going to be either Peyton Manning or Joseph Addai, both of the Indianapolis Colts. And would that person WANT … More

I want to thank the Smash community, sort of. I have said in the past that part of me believes that the features for MK Wii has made the game a possible "Brawl vs. Melee, Part Deux." But with all of the insane debates and heated discussion on various Smash sites about what game is … More

The e-book, called "Book of Secrets" is available on TheMaddenGOATs, the Web site that features Wolf and Eric "Problem" Velarde. It is available for $24.99. "Book of Secrets" features 15 plays on offense used by Wolf that are tailored to the Atlanta Falcons. Velarde also gives some tips at the end of the book. Wolf and V… More

After five successful Melee events (as well as two other students-only tourneys), this tourney was going to be Brawl. This was great, I said to myself. U.C.L.A. events in the past have averaged at least 70 competitors and that was for Melee.  Think about how many people would attend if it was Brawl? The tournamen… More |
