"Raising Phoenix!!" -New Location-, Jan 2nd

Echo, The BlackChrimson presents:​

RAISING PHOENIX​

Where at and when​

Yan's and Chris' Place
2131 E. 10th St #2
Tempe, AZ 85281

Please don't use a GPS navigation system (or Google Maps or Mapquest) to get to this address. It'll route you through a permanently closed gate.

From ASU: go east on University, turn right just before you get to Price Rd/101 (into the Jack in the Box plaza). The condo complex is in the back corner of that plaza. Go into the condo complex and follow the road all the way to the back gate. I live in the building to the right of the back gate, in the back, away-from-the-gate corner.

From the 101: take the University exit and turn west. Turn left immediately into the Jack in the Box plaza. The condo complex is in the back corner of that plaza. Go into the condo complex and follow the road all the way to the back. I live in the building to the right of the back gate, in the back, away-from-the-gate corner.

Parking: Most of the parking are assigned spaces to residents, but there are a bunch of visitor spots around the complex. Here is a map of them. Pretty much any space marked "Visitor" (usually with a yellow curb) is fair game, as are any of the spots by the pool.

By Orbit: Take the Orbit Mercury line to Escalante Center (it picks up around College & 6th at ASU, I think). Head east a tiny bit and you'll see a gate closing off a condo complex to your left. There is a human-sized door in the left part of the gate that's usually open. If it's closed, give Chris a call


6034 W Acapulco Ln, Glendale, Maricopa, Arizona 85306.

Feel free to use Gmaps; my only tip is that my house is the only one that's two stories, and is on the left hand of the street, on the corner.
Time: Registration begins at noon, the tourney for Brawl begins at 2pm. Melee sign ups will begin after Brawl is completed, and will begin an hour later. Friendlies are all day on any empty set.
Yes, it's far out west, ain't it? Now when I was on my way to Elite Four, I got lost for an hour and a half...God forbid that happens to anyone, but if it does, I swear, I'll laugh my *** off.
Call and/or text (602)-718-8886
Ask for Dorian if you have to... >.>

Side Tournsie

Ok, here's a little area where I'll list options for a side tournament or three that could be held.
I want to know who can bring what other games in, and what we could do with them.

1~
2~
3~

There's no address or date or anything.

I know...I was in too much of a hurry to remember absoluetly everything...I just figured I'd post it then edit it when I get a real chance. ^^;

Don't host this on the 12th since thats the date of a tournament in New Mexico and attendance would be low because of that

and if you need help hosting, Justin and I would be glad to help, since we're experienced with this sort of stuff anyway...it can get pretty frustrating sometimes

I would imagine especially if this is a first-time venue.

How far west are we talking?


And I'd be willing to pay a venue fee instead of having anything taken out of the pot...

so when is this tournament? and where exactly is it? I was also wondering if you knew when the info for the tourney on the 19th may be up darklink? or is this it?
so confused.

Death
My tournament that may be on the 19th is not this...

You chose a bad month to try hosting a tournament BlackCrismon, there are no free days other than next saturday but thats really soon

Alright then, I suppose I might hook up a new years smash fest...How about in the near first of January?
That should give plenty of time.

And sorry...I was in the moment, and the connection there is only a really poor wifi set of signals. This was actually the third time I tried posting this thread, and I just wanted it up before my connection failed again... ._.;


And yes, all the help I can get would be seriously appreciated ^^;
And I'm sorry...this is my first tournament debut attempt...But that's no excuse...

I'll have everything edited out and fixed by tomarrow or so at the latest.

alright I see so I will try for yours Darklink and maybe do this one next.

Shoot, if it's the weekend of the 1st and 2nd I can't make it. D: Going to be in Tucson.

This upcoming January weekend is the 2nd and 3rd; the 1st is on a Friday...Talk about first Fridays XD

But are you sure you can't go? I mean...it is far for Tuscon trips...But hey, that's where I came from when I went to Elite Four. =/
And sorry the address isn't posted just yet...being that part of my family just moved in, I'm still not 100% on the adress... ._.;

Yeah, I meant the 2nd and 3rd. I'm sure I'll be down in Tucson until at least the 2nd. There is a slight chance I'll be back by Sunday, but I doubt it.

you don't want to make it a 2 day tournement, 2 day tournaments are for 100-200 people and i can almost guarantee you won't get that kind of turnout. one day will be perfectly fine if you have a sufficient amount of setups and run the tournament well with justin and chris's help. running a tournament is no easy task, i ran two and stopped because i had no idea what i was doing. it's not easy by any means, and i strongly recommend you read up on organizing and hosting tournaments. good luck

also, make melee doubles 10 bucks per team

Alright. I'll fix up whatever I can, and I'll take whatever advice you guys have to offer ^^;

And ok, I'll be fixing up the fees n' junk

cool thing dude, good luck

i also recommend you download and get familiar with a program called Tio (AKA T-O which stands for tournament organizer). I Don't know where to find it on here but it's somewhere in the tuornament section i think

thank you jar'd

Thank you.
I'll be needing help in deep organization of this tournamanet though...I'll taek whatever aid there is

Also, I'll try and get a pic of the place and edit it in the first post.

if i decide to not go to cali for winter break, then i'll definately be going to this

EDIT: wow dude, you actually live very close to where i'll be moving soon lol. i'll be living in peoria

nooooooooooooooooooooo!

You should add Norfair to the list of counter pick stages!

YESH

and distant planet, but norfair is a step in the right direction

Hey, whatever gets everyone here, then by all means. :3
And AXE, sorry that you're moving, but at least you're not leaving the state.

Also, by the looks of the power rankings, I might be getting on that roster here soon...I mean, I almost beat Silly Kyle over the weekend. >l3 Hey, it's not that far off from a dream comeing true, now is it?

black crismon, we should pools at your tournament so everyone is garanteed like 4 matches at the least. more playing equals more skill gained in competitive settings

Agreed, Chris.
I'll do some updating in the first post a little later today and this week.

for edits:
1 - Pools

2 - spell "norfair" right

But thanks for adding it and now I have to try really hard to make it because I have a cp vs snakes xD

>.> Shut up... XD
Anyway, I hope everyione who comes like this tourny. It'll be tough, but should be one hell of a party

Oh yeah, I really really doubt if we do pools and doubles for brawl it will end at a decent time. Having melee an hour AFTER brawl is over probably won't work.

ill be helping the tournament running so it should end at a decent time hades, as long as many people bring setups. Ew why did you add norfair, oh well lol

yo blackChrimson, even if i don't get to make this....

we can still smash a bunch =) if you don't mind, i can come to your place pretty often since we live so close. i can help you train in melee. i'm not too big into brawl, but if you want someone to practice against, i can help with that too

but just saying, if you want someone to train you in melee, look no further =)

Bull Sh-it Topped off with Horse Piss, ****, Fecal matter as sprinkles from tommy, and Vomit from a chain smoker. Served with a side of Donkey manure and intimidating non happy Africans. For dessert is Dic-ks, Giving birth fluids, and dog skin all blended together with an angry mob of hot n sweaty men that play brawl/melee. Pools suck wieners.

Edit: Would have been my response if i totally didnt agree with this idea. Good Thinking chris.

chris how long of a drive is it from you? X_X if it's less than 30 mins I might go

Ooooooh. This is VERY close. Might just go to this. (First Tournament *jitters*)

For the record, you spelled the address in the OP wrong. Might want to fix that to avoid confusion.

AXE, i might just take you up on that offer in the near future. I'm ballux at Melee, but I really want to get into that scene. Seems like such a more rewarding game than Brawl. D:

And props to BC for reppin' that there steak. It's not easy, I can tell you that.

EDIT: I doubt I could provide a setup, but I might be able to fight to get a Wii down there. No promises that I'm going at all, though.
