Super N.E.S. Tournament

SNES...T is our attempt to spark up the Brawl community here in the city. It's been a while since there's been a decent sized tournament right in Boston.

Location

444 Curry Student Center
346 Huntington Avenue
Boston, MA 02115

A bit hard to find, see NU Campus Map for more details. It's building 50.

We will have 3 connecting rooms, 442,444,446 in Curry Student Center. Take the elevator to the 4th floor and make a left.

There's a food court open for most of the day downstairs, and more food is a short walk away.

Rules

General:

• 3 Stocks
• 8:00 Time Limit
• Double Elimination Bracket
• Items set to "off" and "none"
• Try to bring your own controller. We may have extras, but we cannot guarantee this.
• Make sure your controls are set before the match. If a player quits a match because their controls are not set right, that player will forfeit that match.
• All Matches are best of 3, except for Losers Final, Winners Final and Grand Final ,which are best of 5.
• If a game goes to sudden death, the player with the smaller percent on the final stock will be the winner. If (somehow..) both have the same percent, a 1 stock, 3 minute match will be played out.
• If both player die via a suicide move (DDD, Kirby, Bowser, Dorf etc..), the player initiating the move will be the winner.
• MK cape glitch is banned. Standing infinite chaingrabs (ie: Marth on lucas/ness) are banned. IC chaingrabs are legal until 250%, after which they will be considered stalling.
• 50 ledge grab rule is in effect. If a game ends after 8 minutes, and a player had 50+ ledge grabs, that player will forfeit that match.
• If a match is called, each player has 10 minutes to show up, or they will be DQed from the set. If notice is given that a player is leaving, that match may be (reasonably) postponed.

Doubles:

• Controller ports will be in 1-2-2-1 order. This can be determined by rock paper scissors.
• Team Attack set to "on"
• Share stock is allowed

Stage Striking:

• Both players choose their characters for the first match.
• Player 1 strikes a neutral stage. Player 2 strikes two neutral stages. Player 1 strikes one of the remaining two neutrals. The remaining stage will be the stage for the first game.
• After the first game, the winner bans one legal (neutral or counterpick) stage.
• The loser of the first game picks a neutral or counterpick stage.

Post if you're planning on coming, so we can get a good count of how many people to expect.

Anyway you can make this on the 16th?

I'll look into it, but i'm pretty sure the 16th was booked up.

or even May 2nd. It would have lots of time for hype as well/

NU's semester ends on the 30th =/, so 23rd's really the latest we can do.

I would be willing to do May 2 if its still possible to book rooms.

The school's closed down for that week as it's between spring and summer semesters. Won't happen.

April 16th is when Mass Madness is happening, so the 23rd is the only suitable date

darn o well. gl with this then

damn this is the only weekend out of the month where i can't go. suxxxxx

So is anyone going to this?

Bunch of NU/Wenworth people will be there (looking like 20 or so, alot of them aren't on smashboards). Outside of that, I dunno. Anime Boston is the same day, so alot of typical tournygoers will be at that. Hopefully we can get some others.

Woah what happened to smashboards? I'm liking the new style.

Count me in.

EDIT: I have a 19" LCD screen and wii that I can volunteer for the tournament.

damnnnnnnn itttttttttttttttttttttttttt

How's the turnout for the anime boston one looking? Won't that be far more than this?

yea but I hate missing out lol

You can help plan/run the next one we do in a month or two :D
