Welcome to Melbourne's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Thread.

If you were looking for STIGMA-Melee then visit http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=95746

As you may have realized, two games per tournament is too difficult and time consuming for one day so we have decided to separate the two:

Smash Tournament In Great Melbourne Australia for Melee (STIGMA-M) and
Smash Tournament In Great Melbourne Australia for Brawl (STIGMA-B).

So while CAOTIC runs the Melee tournaments every month, X and I will be running Brawl tournaments to make for some epic bi-weeklies for the duration of 2009.

This is so Smashers can get their monthly fix on their preferred game without any conflict of the two. Obviously, you can attend both but I believe this way is easier for the Smashers who don't want to sit through a whole Brawl singles tournament just to play a few competitive games of Melee and vice versa.


So here I bring you:


DATE AND TIME

Date: Season will commence February 2010

*stay posted*

*To keep things running as smoothly as possible, strictly NO friendlies are allowed whilst the tournament is running. If you feel you must play friendlies, arrive early and do it then. Consequences will occur to those who are found playing friendlies during tournament times.

**At the Convent there are a number of places to buy food and drinks including a kickass bakery and a cafe that allows you to pay whatever you feel like. More like a donation than a price. There's a bar there too for you Smashers who need their alcohol fix.

***Doors must be locked by 11pm. That gives approx. 2 hours for the smashers who like to hang around after the tournament to play friendlies and pack their things.

LOCATION

The tournament will be held at the Abbotsford Convent Foundation.
1 St Heliers Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067


MELWAY REFERENCE: 44 G5

The Abbotsford Convent


"The Abbotsford Convent is an extraordinary place and is fast becoming an important arts, educational and cultural precinct in Melbourne. Just 4 kilometres from Melbourne CBD, its 11 historic buildings, gardens and car park are spread over 6.8 hectares in a sweeping bend in the Yarra River and are surrounded by the Collingwood Children's Farm and Yarra Bend Park."

Getting there via Train: Victoria Park station on the Epping and Hurstbridge lines is the closest railway station to the Abbotsford Convent. Please note that some services express past Victoria Park station. Once out of the station and on Johnston St, walk east (away from the City) down Johnston St for around 12 minutes to Clarke St. Turn right into Clarke Street (the last right before the Yarra) and left into St Heliers St. The main entrance to Abbotsford Convent is on the right of St Heliers St before you reach the Collingwood Children's farm.

Via Tram: Catch any tram down Victoria St Abbotsford/Richmond and get off at Nicholson St Abbotsford (or Lennox St Richmond). Walk north up Nicholson St all the way to Abbotsford St and turn right. At the end of Abbotsford St turn left into Clarke St and then right into St Heliers St. This is a 20-25 minute walk.

Via Bus: From the City- the 200 City to Doncaster Shoppingtown/ Bulleen, The 201 City to Doncaster Shoppingtown/ Bulleen, and the 207 City to Doncaster Shoppingtown/ Donvale depart from Melbourne Central/ Lonsdale St in the city, run along Lygon St, Elgin St then Johnston St. Alight at Clarke Street bus stop (before Johnston Street crosses the Yarra). Turn right at Clarke St then turn left into St Heliers St. The 205 Melbourne University to Doncaster Shoppingtown begins at Melbourne University then proceeds down Elgin and Johnston St and pasts Clarke St.

Via Car: The Abbotsford Convent is located at the end of St. Heliers St, Abbotsford. The easiest way to get here is to go via Johnston St then onto Clarke St then into St Heliers St (See MELWAYS Ref 44 G5).

All day parking is available in the carpark opposite the site on St Heliers St for $4.00.


THE VENUE

Once you reach the Convent, there will be signs up around the area pointing you in the correct direction.

The Rosina Auditorium


"Deep in the heart of the Rosina building is a beautiful big old Auditorium that lends itself perfectly to rehearsals and workshops for the performing arts. The Rosina Auditorium is a community access space of the Abbotsford Convent. It is ideal for workshops, rehearsals, research and development, warm up and physical classes.

Rosina Auditorium is a large area consisting of a proscenium stage with a dividable back stage area that can be separted by concertina dividing wall, two smaller back rooms and an outdoor courtyard area that is perfect for break outs. It features ground floor access, strong timber floors, mirrored wall with curtains.

The Rosina Auditorium is 22m x 13.5m sq. The height from ceiling to floor is approx 5m. "


THE COST

At registration there will be an entry fee to help pay for the venue. To enter the Singles tournament will cost $5 each. To enter the Doubles tournament will cost $5 per team. That would be $2.50 per person. No payment, no registration it's as simple as that. Every other Brawl related tournament will be free.

While this is still in the works we're happy to take suggestions as to any part of the running/location (or anything really) that will involve these Brawl Monthlies, the Stigma series.

Suggested entry would be five (5) dollars considering the venue Jei and I discussed is top notch.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!

Moar news as it comes folks.

If it is anywhere near the city (and Southern Cross Station) it should be too much. A train to Sydney should set you back too much (although from personal experience it isn't very confutable). Really depends how far you're willing to go. I'm sure someone would be willing to host you for the weekend or whatever if you want to come down a few times.

You guys are no good, none of you possess the will of the warrior like Jei and myself.

P.S: I'll be working on a multi-media project promoting Stigma-B with stories and interviews from people and players in the scene.

Well I was hoping for a quirky coincidence.

If QLD is going to be having the brawl at DJ Cat's place, which is right next to a freight trainline (QLD->Sydney) it would have been convenient if melbourne's new shindig was on a freight trainline too. It would be cool, just be like a hobo inside a train carriage not built for passengers; choking on coal smoke constantly, good times.

**** Dekar just didn't make it to the top 8!
I think it's safe to say Erick won't be coming to this so I think Dekar should be in ^_^

sigh I barely used MK (in singles). Only in 2 out of 9 monthlies had I used him and that was at most against 2 people each time.
If you can change it, please put only Falco up there. He deserves the most credit for my points. If you're gonna keep Snake, ICs should also be there as they are on par for credit. Thanks in advance.

Ill be trying to get to as many of these as possible during 2009. also same for the melee ones. may have to alternate between the two games though as a trip to VIC twice a month maybe on the expensive side for me for at least the first 6months of the year.

It's not for the wifi thingie. It's for the monthly ranbats.

I'm not sure how many ranbats Amaterasu hasn't attended due to the fact that he lives in QLD while he is studying, but it's just funny that he is able to place in the top 8 despite not living in the region.

At the same time, it's actually quite reflective of his skill. That when he is in town, he is able to own it up.
