theres a dropdown menu that should say none if you change that to your joysticks name it may work. i use a gc controller with a usb adapter i bought and it works good for me

edit: if you ever do get your joypad to work with the emulator, just msg or aim or something and we can rm. also idk but mupen64k is another emulator but not too many people use it, if you can get it to work with that then i guess we can use that.

editedit: hahaha this is a hilarious if you watch ssb videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SaH0dSOV8Y

i hope your not talking about me, but 10 is fine too. ill get some practicing in.

man, i still gota find my sc cd...

if he puts you on his back and lets you break free he can repeatedly grab you again, its impossible to get out of unless you are link i think and paybe pikachu which pop out behind him. in melee ness lost all priority and recovery status. anyway there is a vid of it under isai dk kefit kirby, where he does it nonstop. ive seen some very good samus's

firstly, we cant play melee online, gc emulation is very new and defenitely not online, (you gave me a melee impression in your post) . And thankgoodness for your responce on items, you would not believe the amount of people that insist they are better than me and want to play items or time.
these rules i would assume will do

http://www.smashwiki.com/wiki/Tournament_legal_%28SSB%29

optional: i would allow dk's stage and saffron unless ness and i would say a limit of one cargo stall to turn around before having to throw him away. other than that, other forms of chaingrabbing and comboing are nearly never banned and edge hogging should be fine too.  seem reasonable? (note, not meant to be insulting, just meant to cover all that has been brought up to me in the past)

also i would like to request the rule that the person can not chose the same character twice. unless anyone objects. the reason being that i think it gives a better estimation of skill if you can use multiple characters good instead of just one.

do you all have project64k? thats the client i would be using unless anyone has any objections. just google project64k, no install required and the rom can be found on many websites that i dont think im allowed to link to. if you have not played online before i would suggest trying it out. its a little laggy (usually not a problem) and button timing can be different. its defenitely doable though unless you have dialup. if you havent played before i would suggest a little practicing, it takes some getting used to, use the emularena server, its the main ssb one and if you happen upon me, im Al Capwned.

i like both version of ssb, ssb64 a little more at the moment. our school suddenly got into ssb, idk why. many of my friends got n64's for christmas LOL. but i defenitely like smash bros melee when there are people around to play. i do like how ssb64 is very balanced, each character is alot closer to the same potential than characters in melee. no character is better or worse except maybe pikachu is thought to be a bit better. but we'll never really know because isai has the best of every character except yoshi and we cant have him face himself (hes heads and shoulders above even the second best player, and even the best yoshi)

meh, if you want to think of brawl in that light (i hope im on your page [overpriced, buggy OS]) yes a delay can make the game better but the japaneese version comes out in 16 days, even given that this was decided 4 days ago, 20 days is not enough to make any major changes. plus thier delay was like 10 days, ours was one month, and we get the same version of the game im fairly sure (thats how it aws for melee). just national politics are getting in the way i think i heard something about advertising is the reason we are being delayed.

i dunno, i always thought that 2 decks on one calc would be feasable. i think it would be easier to  transfer a deck to a diff calc than to make linkplay.
