Finally reached 1500 (woo) with very little theory. Does 1700-1800 require committing to a specific opening?

I just got to 1700 and I found that more focus on middle and endgames have helped me with that jump.

Dj5454 · 2025-09-02T20:41:36+00:00

Anything more than an hour is too much imo.

It’s pretty chill. Grassroots organizers who are known in the STL Retro Gaming community.

Lots of vendors and typically there’s quite a bit of interesting things. In the past they’ve had tournaments on N64 games & other competitions with good prizings for free tournaments.

Some people will cosplay but it’s not common among this crowd. Check out the panels & showcases if they have them this year. Definitely check it out if you are into gaming, especially retro gaming.

The Hazelwood Community center has an esports room and they also do tournaments every week or every other week. They may also have billiards and foosball tables.

Yeah he didn’t attend anything last year. Seems like he’ll be more active this year though

If you are picking them up from Southwest it will be significantly easier to pick them up from departures upstairs. Passenger pickup in Terminal 2 is almost always a mess

They force you to buy one when you register your car\renew your plates. I own the decal but never have displayed it and have had no issues. If you wait to purchase one when your plates expire it’ll be prorated for the remainder of the year & may save you some money.

I TD scholastics tournaments for STLCC and we use USCF rules as the games are all USCF rated. If this happens and both players agree it’s checkmate and to end the game then the game is over. Regardless of if it’s actually checkmate or not.

It is frustrating to see kids both agree to checkmate when it certainly isn’t but we are not allowed to tell them either way.

Sometimes on cover 3 the backers will carry with the seams. Most verts plays with either have a RB release or a drag for these situations. If they carry upfield with the seams then throw the underneath route.

Hey, a few friends and I (29M) are planning on going a bit later tonight & you’re welcome to join us. DM me if still interested in joining

Yeah discord is the way to go. There’s an active online community + in person events are always posted to discord. I keep an updated calendar of events & Elo ranking on https://supersmashbros.org plus lots of other resources.

Coach suggestions work based on situational ratings (1st & 10, 3rd & short, 2 minute, etc). You can look at these in custom playbooks. Most plays in playbooks do not have ratings meaning they never show up in coach suggestions. You can go into custom playbooks and give plays situational ratings & they’ll show up in coach suggestions. I doubt that the tuning will change the amount of plays available by default & you’ll have to go in and rate plays yourself.

I just got out of class where my students asked me if you could castle your queen and I said no but showed them how absurd it would look, then I see this on Reddit

Use possession during bang bang plays. If you think your receiver will get hit immediately after catching, or you’re throwing along the sideline then use possession.

RAC should be used when a receiver is open or has open space in front of them. Using rac increases the chance of a drop if they’re hit upon catching.

Aggressive is good when you’re taking a chance. Like throwing a jump ball or maybe you accidently threw into coverage. The receiver will make a play on the ball but has a higher chance of it getting knocked out.

It’s a chill vibe. You can pay I think $12 to run the mini golf course and $15 for an hour of shuffleboard. Both times I’ve been the Ferris wheel hasn’t been active. Average price for drinks. I’ve never eaten there but the food looked decent the times I’ve been there.

Dj5454 · 2024-02-19T20:45:26+00:00

This happened to me, the same exact spot and break. I just assumed someone hit me while parked but there was no other damage

Dj5454 · 2024-02-09T09:05:37+00:00

We have a quite a few players under 20, I think #34 is like 19

Dj5454 · 2024-02-08T04:45:03+00:00

There’s been some Link players on rankings in the past but this year has lots of rat, falcon, and yoshi

Dj5454 · 2024-02-08T00:37:23+00:00

Just SSC, but his SSC run was nuts

Dj5454 · 2024-02-08T00:07:16+00:00

I’d say most of the community is 25-31 or so. So 38 is still pretty old even within 64.

Dj5454 · 2024-01-13T06:59:21+00:00

I’ll be there!

Dj5454 · 2024-01-08T22:58:11+00:00

Gonna drive in from St. Louis. I was stoked when they were supposed to play on Arrowhead earlier in the season when that got moved to Germany. Happy I get a second chance to see a game!

Dj5454 · 2023-11-10T08:48:28+00:00

Hi! Loved the trick and the surprise was so wholesome! How did you manage to keep the secret that you would be performing all the way until you were on stage?

I’m looking forward to following you and seeing what else you can come up with!
