hi, I'm a college student and i would like to ask for your help.
I entered a video of mine for the MLG brawl film festival. The rules were, the video must be 90 seconds of length or less, and should show skill.
The winner of the contest wins a $500 cash prize and this would really help out a starving student like me. I don't have a job because im taking 5 classes (20 units) and theres just not enough time. I'm moving into an apartment next school year and don't want to keep on mooching off my parents.

anywho, i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if you could take a minute or two out of your life to help me out. all you would need to do is signup for an account at http://www.mlgpro.com
Then once you have confirmed your account and are logged in,
head over to this thread.
http://www.mlgpro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166641

and there you will see "diddy kong king from paOol" near the middle of the list.
select it and hit vote. and that's all you'd have to do.
Voting ends this Friday, so i don't have much time left and im currently 3rd place.
Thanks for your time.

I can't believe the DBR piece of shit is winning, I guess the author has enlisted the help of a bigger forum.

I went on the site, but I refuse to vote for you just because you asked so nicely. They could be starving students too you know!

DBR's video is ass.

And as a matter of fact, your video was f*ing amazing.

1) The banana juggling is something else. I love it.
2) Spiking with your Up-B!? I never even knew!
3) That side-B raepage you do is really excellent.

I would love to play you in Brawl. I have no idea how your video is not #1.

Voted because back in the day I made a macro that would sign me on to my dail-up, go to a website and vote for myself sign off and repeat. And it worked really good and I won the contest. Unfortunately I can't do that for this kinda contest.

Ps. At this time you have 85, next highest is 97, and other guy with 106. Hopefully you can still win it. You show more skill than those high two players by the way. They look like they just pulled out random clips compared to you.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
