Sydney Smash Thread - Comrades Of Xeno -

The year is 2006 and years more have passed where whispers and rumours of smash in Sydney have passed throughout the boards and websites."Haha Rabbit" the first person from Sydney to ever show a pro interest in smash gave the game up before i even knew what a wave dash was.

I was usually the only one to represent Sydney in tournaments held out of state, few have travelled to another main cities to challenge the skill of others, yet recently Sydney boasted another 2 participants

A Year later and Sydney has held a tournament in excess of 15 people, a small milestone to some, but a lunge forth for Sydney. In a National community that is expanding rapidly in Queensland, players in Melbourne now has to hone there skills to place in their own tournaments and players that have participated in tournaments since the beginning still represent Tasmania, South Australia and Perth.

Australia's interest in smash for both Melee and Brawl grows and I'm proud to announce it grows in Sydney also




So you've heard of a community of people who play smash in sydney, if your looking to get in touch with this crazy bunch, you've come to the right place.

The best way to reach the Sydney community is through these forums, mobile and MSN

Jaz: Unplugged009@hotmail.com

Tournaments that are more brawl orientated have been popping up in the west at emu plains, these events are hosted and run by Tedeth who has made his own thread to discuss anything relevant to them, if your interested here's the thread and his contact details:

The best way to enjoy smash is to become a part of your closest community and attend meets (gatherings of smashers with no serious edge) and competitions.

- Schedule -​

Talk to Fork on MSN (diss_187@hotmail.com) or Kulla (kulla_kure@hotmail.com) About any details regarding the Biweeklies.​

The only way to get to the venue via Bus is by the 380 bus "Watson's Bay" which leaves from Bondi Junction, Bus stop "A". To get to the series of Bondi Junction bus stops, located directly above Bondi Junction Station you have two options: Bus and Train

TRAIN
Catch any train heading to Central station and then take the Eastern Suburbs And Illawarra Line train which departs from Central Station Platform 24 .
Once you arrive at Bondi Junction Train station make your way to the Oxford street exit go up the escalator and you should already be inside the Bus station central.(skip to 380 Bus section


BUS
I can't recall every bus route that leads to Bondi Junction Station but theres an excellent little website that does:
http://www.131500.info/realtime/newjourney.asp
it's very simple to work, you put the closest bus stop to you in the "From" or "1" section in the second section type in bondi junction station The Third section is called "when" you should select the options: "Arive Before"than select the date in the second box which in this case would be the 1st of March, and your last option should be "10:20am" leaving you plenty of time to get to kulla's place ^_^

you'll be asked to check if the details are correct or change the stations selected, make sure the second option says "Bondi Junction Station (Location)"
than choose a route from the options and get your arse over to Bondi Junction Bus station Central. (skip to 380 Bus section


380 Bus
You should now be directly above Bondi Junction Train Station, in the Bus station Central
They have Many bus' leaving from many different bus stops in this station, each categorsied by letters of the alphabet, your looking for Bus Stop "A" and your catching the 380 bus to Watson's Bay (not to Dover Height's).

Once on the bus, relax and take in the excellent views of Bondi Beach and later on the ocean over the cliff's in Vaucluse as you make your way to the venue You get off at the last stop.
as soon as you get off you should be infront of a place called Robertson Park.

The Scenic Route
I've even got a map here to show you how easy it is to get to the venue, and so you can enjoy the scenic route straight away rather than getting lost:

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/Jazblack009/smashmap.jpg

quite simple, the bus icon is where the bus drops you off
the red man is you, all you have to do is follow the red line to the venue.

walk down through Robertson park via the pathway all the way down towards the ocean. when you reach the end of the path you should veer right and cross military road where it imitates a roundabout. now on your right should be shops and on your left is a view of the city that only rich people get to see but today you get to steal it from them for a little.
follow the path adjacent to (in line with) the beach all the way to the end.

At the end of this walkway there should be steps leading up to cove street, take the stepsand right on the corner there should be 1 Cove Street, cream coloured with about 3 steep stone steps leading up to a caramel wooden door, which can be found if you follow cove street to the left and look right,
press the buzzer and we'll come down to eat your soul ^_^

now no one has an excuse for not knowing how to get there.

First post! w00t!!
Oh wait. This isn't a Digg or a Kotaku news thread...

News to fellow NSW smashers now on the increase: Tentative date for the NEXT SMASH TOURNAMENT: 22/4/07 at University of Sydney, Technology (UTS). Send this wonderful news out to your friends, fellow smashers! The one we had was great and I'm hoping this one will be even better!

Anybody out of state are welcome to join Sydney in it's never ending quest to improve the smash scene and attract more smashers to the world of serious professional smash! As well as to stop putting NSW down and comparing it to Tasmania and even Canberra... (This isn't to reignite the 'NSW vs Every state' war)

that war would be gallipoli, and we're not the turks
Tasmania pwn, sloth puts the states ranking up in the millions XD

My god! I feel sick!!!!

Why?

Because I once said 'If Sydney ever develops a decent smash scene I will eat my hat'

Boy do I regret saying that.

Well done guys, I am looking forward to the results!

Hoshiezz, Jaz is too good. Sydney is too good.

And yea what Ben said.

YES!

Great to hear.

hey hey! called dedu now? thats cool
i'll add all those i missed, coulda sworn i checked the list from the NSW thread...
Kulla is up for bi weeklies on thurs and fri because he works on the weekend.
if anyone else wants to host them on the weekend, which is a good idea as some of our smashers have school and work commitments during the week thats fine by me ^_^

Yeah Sydney is getting it's act together, fantastic.

@ Cao: 6 years? The game has only been out since 2002....



Looks like you've got it together, Sydney guys.

Oh and you easily beat Tassie, even if Sloth can beat you all down, your currently active and you have a good average skill level (based on playing you guys down in Melbourne).

Kulla here, host of the now infamous (maybe only in my mind) Sydney bi-weeklies, just to let you all know, I no longer work friday nights so people can stay past 4pm if they should so wish.

I'm glad to be a part of the Sydney Smash scene, and I hope that I can continue hosting for a long time. The only issues I can see are when essays and things are due on a friday and most likely ill be looking at them for the first time that morning ...

But yeah, apart from Jaz's great guide on how to get to my place, you can also take the ferry from Circular Quay (or other assorted ferry stops) to Watsons Bay, which, if the weather is good, is generally quite pleasant.

Any major questions add me to MSN on:
(New email) Kulla_Kure@hotmail.com
Or if you get lost on the way call me on my mobile:
0415579322

Hope to see you all there, don't forget to spread the word!

Hey this is my first post here (o rly?) under a different username.
Zereul had the same problems with attending the Bi weeklies. I can't attend bi weeklies due to work commitments.

However, I can practise on the weekends. If anyone would like me to practise with them on the weekends, I'm more than happy to attend. That goes to everyone who attended the Sydney tournament.

Jaz - you forgot Bjay, Meteor and others. They can be found on the Illawarra/NSW thread.
And Funky doesn't really main Sheik atm, he's more focused on Capt Falcon and lately, Fox.

Click to expand...

i wouldnt mind playing at somewhere like sutherland on weekends... or even against zereul wherever he lives if he wants to, cause hes probably the closest smasher to me atm.

i wanna see ben eat his hat

I'venever seen Ben wear a hat :S

Maybe a beanie, like ages ago.

lol good point, how could ben ruin that perfect hair-do with a hat...
maybe you should eat your GC controller benny

ZOMG! Scrubs eat a hat? Can't recall him ever wearing a hat!

I just updated the smash details for the tournament on the first page.

sign me up for the tournament dedu

Hi guys.

I've put together a quick signup page for the smash tourney, located here --> http://php.egg.org.au/signups/?id=1
Please use it =D
Dedu, can you put this on the front page?

Oh, and I'll be participating in this one as well. Turns out I've still got a bit of skill with Kirby =D

This is the current schedule, guys:

9.00 AM - Official open of tournament, registrations open.
1.00 PM - Registrations close, doubles tournament begins.
~4.00 PM - Singles tournament begins.
~7.30 PM - Official close of tournament.

Please give me some feedback - Dedu, please update.

omg you spam my threadzorz o.o i'll link the attendance thingo
btw, theres an edit button in your post window...
another kirby? its on!
and no more picking on scrubs, he'll beat us all up with peach if we keep it up.

Ya ^_^ KIrby FTW!

I'd like to keep picking on Scrubs since his Peach fthrew me into the losers bracket at comrades!
Ha ha!
I've linked the 'attendence thingo' in my tournament notices post. Jaz - no need to unless you want to run this tournament! Just keep reminding ppl that the tournament notices are on first page, near the end of the scrolling window =D

Between now and the 22nd of April I'll keep my eyes open for new smashers who would like to compete or get better in game!

Oh and we forgot to put the costs up - $5 for singles, $5 each for doubles

Jaz is making me post and say that I pwn all you nubs (which like isn't true... anymore at least )

A Low-tier tourny would be nice for a change. It'll mean I might actually stand a chance with my Ness instead of facing the standard lame characters all the time.

is that the same pricing as last time?
i dun remember

and i am up for low tiers for sure!

i have to get onto giving this tournament a title and banners
now, i'd like all smashers if they read this to put in there 2 cents... what should the tourney be called?

may i remind the community of past brilliant smash names

victoria: @M,SEAT,SEAT2, CoA

Atom
Didn't do the Banner

South Eastern Australian Tourny

Comrades of the Anfology
No Banners

Qld: SQUAT,SQUAT2,SQUAT3,SQUAT4,QSB,QSM

South Queensland undeniably ameteur Tourny
Didn't do the Banner for 1




Queensland Smash Buddies

Queensland Smash Mates

WA: EI

Eastern Invasion
Didn't do the banner

Tasmania: BoO,BoO2

Bottom of Oz


NSW:OHN5

Oz Hadou Nationals 5



Australia decide
i'll base the banners on the name aswell

WE could say UTS and leave it at that. How original [/sarcasm]

I don't really have any particular ideas for a title but I'll post some up here.
Centrepoint Smashers United (CSU) - IMO too standard
Amateurs In Dominating Smash (AIDS) - As if anyone has AIDs... Would stand out tho.
Aussie Sydney Smashers (***)
Resident Smashers Reborn (RSR)
Jaz you could do a banner with the CentrePoint tower as a main theme. After all it is one of Sydney's popular icons.

Low tiers? Good idea. Tho didn't really work at comrades as everyone just wanted to do practise before the crew matches. Might give it a try at the next tourney.

How about "S3 (Sydney Smashing Supreme)"

Can't really judge whether it sounds good or not, thought of it from the top of my head. Also, sorry guys, but I don't think I will show up at this one. There are a few things I have to do at that time. If there are any more tournies after that though I'll make time!!

Finally, Jaz, here's my info you forgot it on the first post:

Click to expand...

i like the S3 idea - sounds old-skool.

pity you can't come =( we've got 15 ppl registered with over a month still to go; hope people keep joining at this rate =D.

I'm thinking of holding a smash open day before the tourney btw - something like you pay $5, and play smash all day with a free bbq lunch. what do you think?

Sounds pretty cool. . . . . but makes me feel even worse about not being able to go :/

i mean on like a separate day, like a week or two before the event.

Yeah I know, but I'll probably be busy that entire time period. That's okay though, I guess it's more opportunity to practice...

EDIT: I know this is a bit too early, but are tournies going to be on more often if enough people start participating?

yes, yes and yes. if this keeps up i'll start organising tourneys every month-ish; there's also animania and ohn6 that EGG's involved in and has been asked to host SSBM tournies there too so there's plenty of scope for me to help bring sydney back on to the scene.

Yay! Good stuff Jaz! Great to see NSW is taking off.

Wow, the Australian smash scene ****ing rocks at the moment.

NSW and QLD are close enough that we could have a joint tournament sometime..... just a though

peace out

i can see it now...

australian ssbm nationals, held in sydney...

lol.
