OH SNAP 6: Smashing Mad! (MLK Day Weekend!)

LIVESTREAMS FOR SINGLES TOMORROW! May be on and off for pools today.
BRAWL LIVESTREAM

MELEE LIVESTREAM

*Please constantly check this first post as I will be frequently updating it with new participants, equipment needs, side tournament status, OOS housing assignments, and any other relevant information*

Watch out 2011! Oklahoma will be Smashing Mad with the continuation of Oh Snap! Oklahoma's largest and longest running tournament series is back and better than ever! Brawl players from around the region and beyond can expect the pain to be brought.
The last two Oh Snaps held an average of 100 attendees each!
4 states are interested so far, more to come!
So expect this to be a big epic tourney with big epic payouts!

And after an astounding revival of the OK Melee scene in 2010 we will be reintegrating Melee into this series, thats right Melee will be in full effect! Smashers unite! What this means is that we will bring enough competitive spirit and explosive energy into Oklahoma from across the Smash universe that only a world of ruin will be left in our wake!

Also.... now with Smash 64 and super effective Brawl Minus side events!

Oklahoma has learned alot hosting Oh Snap! over the years. We have both old guard TOs and new blood working to put together an inclusive, smooth running, and most of all supremely fun experience for the Southwest (and maybe even some of those nifty Midwesterners and beyond!)

This year HxC Lancenter will be helping us out with equipment and looking for excellent players to consider for sponsorships or support in major national and international tournaments. This tournament will be the first in a series to count toward your reputation with their company, so sign up at their site and do your best! The more people that sign up here, the more opportunity we will have for bonus pots, prizes, and side tourneys in the future!

THERE WILL BE HD RECORDING AND LIVESTREAM AT THIS EVENT SO GET PSYCHED! CHECKBACK FOR URL!

IMPORTANT:
Brawl and Melee will be carried out simultaneously. I expect Melee to go by much more quickly. If you are attempting to play both games please do your best to keep up pace on your matches.
Remember that The Mage's DQ rule is in effect:

2 Minutes Late: Warning/Loss of first stock
4 Minutes Late: Loss of first match of set
6 Minutes Late: Loss of set

Leniency my be afforded if you are in a tournament match for the other game but you must immediately move to your next match once the current one is completed.

If you have an extenuating circumstance which may cause you to leave the venue please inform me beforehand, I will afford leniency at my discretion, but ultimately when it is time to progress, we will continue the tournament in the interest of keeping the our schedule.



Brawl & MeleeSingles & Doubles, as well as Smash 64 Singles will have dedicated double elimination brackets.

Side Events: Brawl Minus, Duelist, Ladders, Crew Battles. These will take place tentatively given time constraints and setup availability.

Other side events if time permits (Crew Battles, Ladder & Duelist) to be determined on the spot.


Venue Fee Discounts!

FULL SET UPS (Console + Game + TV) NEEDED: TVs MUST BE LAG FREE!.

Full set up (Wii/GC+Game+TV) and we use it = Free admission
Part set up (Either Wii/GC+Game or TV) and we use it = - $5

BRAWL​

[collapse=Brawl Stages]Neutral Stages for Singles and Doubles

• Smashville
• Final Destination
• Battlefield
• Yoshi's Story
• Lylat Cruise
• Pokemon Stadium 1
• Castle Siege

Counterpick stages for Singles and Doubles

• Brinstar
• Frigate
• Norfair
• Rainbow Cruise,
• Halberd,
• Delfino,
• Pictochat,
• Pokemon Stadium 2

All other stages are banned. If both players/teams agree on any stage you may play on it.

Stage Striking will be in effect for the first match of each set. The player with the lower port will get to choose the first strike. After each match, winner bans one stage, loser counterpicks stage, winner chooses character, loser chooses character. Continue until set is complete. Report your results promptly.

You cannot go back to the last stage you won in a set, unless agreed upon by the other player.

Double blind for character selection may be used if a player requests it.[/collapse]
Rules:
[collapse=Brawl Rules]

• 3 Stock
• 8 minute timer
• Items are set to "off" and "none"
• If the time runs out the victor is determined first by the number of stock remaining. If each player maintains the same number of stock, the victor is determined by damage percentage.
• Life stealing is allowed on teams.
• All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above should be played out for any "finals" matches)
• In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors.
• No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
• In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.
• Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
• Stalling is banned.

Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Planking is. Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

The Mage's DQ rule is also in effect:
2 Minutes Late: Warning/Loss of first stock
4 Minutes Late: Loss of first match of set
6 Minutes Late: Loss of set

Specific rules:

• DeDeDe's Infinite grab: You cannot Chain grab in place (not even once). The small step CG is banned as well. Normal CG is legal.
  
• The Infinite grab-release on ness/lucas is banned (do not even do it once). You must hit them out of the release, do not re-grab.
  
• Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
  
• If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.
  
• MetaKnight Ledge Grab Limit Rule - All Metaknight's that enter a match will be under the LGL rule. Metaknights are allowed to grab the ledge a total of 40 times PER MATCH (assuming the game goes to timer). The numbers can be viewed after a match on the results screen. If you exceed the limit even by a single ledge grab you will lose your entire SET.
  
• Metaknight Stage Gliding Rule - Adapted from Xyro77. Metaknight is not allowed to glide under any stage more than 2 times in a row. He must land an attack in order to be able to reset the the stage glide count.
  
• Most of these rules are covered under “stalling” and are simply more articulate iterations of the “no stalling” rule. Judges will be on the tournament floor can be called in at any time to enforce this rule during a match. Play the game and have fun! Don't run/fly around the stage all day, that makes for a boring livestream amirite?

All Brawl rules apply to Brawl Minus side event.[/collapse]

Global Rules (apply to all tournaments at Oh Snap!)

• BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER! (this means N64 controller too if you want to play Smash 64 on N64)
• You are responsible for your own controller and name tag.
• Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played.
• If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
• Respect the setups and equipment.
  
• Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc),
  except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic, LEDs), are
  banned. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be
  disqualified from the tournament you are currently participating in.
  
• Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you
  are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer.

Oklahoma has a strong Smash community. As such we will be working our best to provide housing for as many out of starters as possible. Out of State attendees: Priority will be given to those who have 4 or more hours of travel time.

If you receive housing at a smasher's place, please be respectful of their area and belongings and don't expect them to have bedding for each one of you. Please try to accommodate yourself with pillows and blankets because it may be a floor you will be sleeping on.

BRING THINGS TO SLEEP ON! MANY OF US HAVE LOTS OF FLOOR SPACE!

(Will be adding more spots and updating as they are filled)

SolidusSpriggan 10
Triforce of Chozo 3
The_Irish_Dude 4
Type_Ex 10

Please contact these people for housing and how many you are bringing. If there are too many of you in your crew for that host, please let me know. I will update assignments in the reply below.

I will update the first post as housing and equipment needs are offered and filled.

Although we will fill our homes to the brim with dirty smashers, housing space is ultimately finite, so I will link some nearby lodging options for those that wish to stay in a hotel or motel. Find out who is staying in a hotel and offer to help pay for some of the cost. By doing that you get housing AND its cheaper for everybody.

Some options include:

Motel 6 ~$50 + tx per night. This is one of the cheapest options. I recommend getting in touch with other smashers and cramming as many people into that room as possible. Of course there will only be 2 beds.
Norman Location (3 miles from the venue): http://www.motel6.com/reservations/...ccorMaps/M6ProximityResults.aspx?searchtype=C

I will update this list as I find more lodging options.

If people do end up in the hotels due to lack of housing, I will discount the venue fee for them but I need proof such as room key and a list of people in that room.

If you want a definite spot, please confirm ASAP that you are coming and whether you need housing or not.

The last 2 Oh Snaps had nearly 100 people in attendance! We hope to see that again, this year we may break it with Melee adding to the storm!
Interested Attendees: 60+

Please post in this thread or PM me if you plan on attending so we know what to expect and can get your name in TiO for streamlined execution, alot of ppl have joined the facebook event and I don't know your smashboards name so if your on the boards let me know:

too good! i will be here, of course.
MO (both brawl and melee) hit me up if you're coming to this! and COME TO THIS!

edit: i will have a recording setup, high def :D

hook me up on this! i can house only bout 4 people. i will bring a wii and a melee copy

Legit, you did a very good job with the thread.
I'm looking forward to this.

Put me down for Melee/Brawl *****.

Melee?

Well good thing I'm going to push back my own event from this date. Maybe?

Yo MC melee will be in full effect so come on up! Don't want to step on each others toes so perhaps an event staggering IS in order. Keep Oklahoma thread up to date on any major Melee event you have going on tho for sure we may be down!

I love everything about this.

^ +1

10+1s

I ****ing love that title graphic. Liek, omg.

just like yawara, i'll be entering barlw as well :X

Ill be down for Bwlar singles and doubles.

Right, I'm down for every event.

<-- east coast player needing a teammate for melee

how come i see a kos-goose team in the near future....

Won't cauuuse I'm teaming with Chris HOLLA

http://league.hxclancenter.com/tournaments.php?tourney[id]=10

That could be where people can pre register and you will already have a good idea of whos coming and how to seed. Then we can add brackets of other tournaments also I just wanted to show a good example.

This keeps a ranking system... so for every win a player gets points to level up. Even with a lose player still gets points for registering and participating. So if someone registers, losest 2 in a row they still get 75 points. If a guy wins a tournament they will be in the 1k points in know time.. helping there power rankings.

also click on rules and see if there is anything wrong with them?

House me please!

Actually it wasn't going to be a Melee event (pretty nobody in SA plays actively anymore) but a Street Fighter event. Either way if I was going to be running it this day, I would be boned from attending. Good thing I'm not.

Interesting...

austin...no johns. imu

Man, you guys and all your FF6 avatars make me love everything about this thread.

Alejandro, you know I got you bro. Remember what happened last time we combined forces... WE CLEARED THE ROOM, SEVERAL TIMES. Who knew we would make such a potent combination?

And yes, that means my old rusty self will be climbing back into the ring once more... No way in hell I'm going to let Texas just walk up in my backyard without lighting them ON FIRE.
Guess that means I may enter Brawl as well, but somebody's going to have to convince me a bit...

Oh yeah, before I go- (HYPE MODE ACTIVATE)

So legitttttt

brandon dropping a neutron bomb of hype

i forgot to mention i need a teammate for barlw, too. :D i will get those figured out hopefully in december when i'm done with school. for now i'm just ridin' the hype train.

CHOO CHOO MOTHER****ERS

Hype get. My rubbish sheik will be there with at least one setup.

haha, good stuff, vyse. that's actually my favorite piece on ocremix from ffvi :D

I like the whole FF6 thing you got going with avatars in here.

Final Fantasy VI was my favourite.

With Vyse help I added an original OCremix of Kefka's theme to the page. it can be stopped by clicking pause button found on the second post in the thread if found too annoying. Thanks Vyse.

The original mix can be found here: http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01868/

I got limited housing spots, but Ill house whoever. One car max please >.>

UH
Yawara you're housing me and thats final.

DANG, he won it. I got a bed and 2 futons HOLLA

...showing interest

also, good **** on the thread music


edit: didn't wanna repost but i can also bring N64 plus 4 controllers.
waived venue fee?

and what is ladder&duelist?

I's definitely interested but my one complaint is the SSB64 tourney should be on a real N64. I could bring mine + a few good controllers...

Noc said:

Click to expand...

Please bring it. I would consider this if we could get enough setups. I have 2 but I only have 1 good controller. Its controllers and unlocked stages/characters that were my main concern (since you can't share memory cards) and IDK about you but I refuse to play on third party sticks.

Of course its Bring your Own Controller event, but I assume people will mostly be bringing gamecube controllers..

If those that are interested bring N64 controllers then I'm down, that leaves more wiis for brawl anyway.

Oh yeah, I only use official nintendo controllers. I got like 4 N64 controllers with repaired (white gunk cleaned out and lubricated) control sticks. Assuming I come, I will bring these along with my 64 setup.

Just let me know either here in a PM so I can have an estimate of N64s. You'll be playing Brawl or Melee also? If you only wanted to play 64 you wouldn't need to be here until sunday morning around 9-10.
