If I get more Guranteed Pot Bonus money, that payout (you mentioned Quik) will be considered. But for now, it's going to stay where it is.
Everyone is encouraged to come to this tournament with their A-Game. If you wanna be in the monies, yha gotta play to WIN at all times. :D
Guys...
Before POUND 4 and my tournament in Feb, here are some "encouraging" entries from Capcom's Seth Killian. Just apply what u need, to smash. And you should be good to go:
* You can Lead a Scrub to Water, but you can't make em think!!! - By Seth Killian
* On Cheapness!!! - By Seth Killian
* So, you want to be a Dominator!!! - By Seth Killian
Hope some of this helps. :D

I will be entering brawl singles and maybe doubles. I went to the last CoF and that was my first tournament which didn't go so well. So hopefully this time will be better.

I agree with the top 5 payout thing, but my vote doesn't really matter because I will not be here...

Okay I made up my mind about the Smash related game payouts. One of the goals of this tournament: is to encourage players to PLAY TO WIN!
Payouts are going to be pretty strict...so not much room for bending. Come with your A+ game, and you really won't have many issues.
The payout will be as follows and WILL NOT CHANGE:
50 participants or less:
1st - 60%
2nd - 30%
3rd - 10%
50+ (51 and so on) participants:
1st - 55%
2nd - 25%
3rd - 10%
4th - 5%
5th - 2.5% (each)
I don't know why smash has to be the ONLY exception to other fighting games as far as payouts are concerned. I am sooo used to 70/20/10 percentage. It has NEVER FAILED and ALWAYS ENCOURAGED players to play their best. If you want me to be honest, and I don't mean to be rude...but smash players are kinda spoiled. I have realized this in the past couple years. But it's cool I suppose.
Payouts will be reflected in the first post soon.
Also and I am VERY VERY...VERY serious about this:
POT SPLITTING IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED AT THIS TOURNAMENT!!!
If I have to go into detail...I will.

Late post, sorry. Regarding the Ike ban:
No. Check out the last M.A.S results: 1st and 2nd went to players who don't use Ike. I'm actually getting annoyed lately at all these johns about Ike being "broken" and sh*t. You all just need to learn the MU, and figure out how to take back control when he's jab-canceling you/pressuring you.
In terms of MUs, Ike goes even/advantage on almost all low-tier, but he DOES have disadvantages. He has no significant MUs past 60:40 on any of the low-tier cast, and has a few disadvantages (Samus, arguably Mario, maybe Falcon, definitely Squirtle and Ness). He's not MK broken in low-tiers, he's just good. Imo he's a lot like Snake: a beast if he gets control, but starts to crumble if you can aggro him enough. Finally, don't point fingers at Kirk or Meneil and say "that's why we don't like Ike." they're an exception. They've placed SO much dedication into their character and they reap the rewards of being able to outsmart their opponent AND win with a sh*tty character. That's like saying CF should be mid-tier because Ally nearly took matches off M2K and Dojo's MK (which is true). Sometimes it's not the character, but the player themselves.
If I wasn't teaming with Meneil (she likes LT a lot) I wouldn't even enter if Ike was banned, and Ike's a THIRD of mine. Falcon is a solid secondary, and hell I use him in LT. It's the principle that a few (not all) don't understand the MU and now you want to him gone because he gives you trouble.
P.S: Double Ike in teams is hardly "broken".He's slow and he can't help his teammate once he's off-stage, so you need to pick one and harass him. His set-ups are powerful, that is definitely true.
I'll leave you with a quote from an Ike main in the EC: "Any of Ike's MUs are at least 50:50 if you can outsmart your opponent."

hey I got a great idea, let's insult the people who are going to make or break your tourny
how can you call smash players "spoiled?" The game is for the players. That is how it should be, what people want is what people should get.

Sign me up for Singles and LT singles for now.
Why are we considering banning one character? I don't understand this. The original argument was whether or not D tier should be included in Low Tier events. Many people have solid reasoning for believing that D tier isn't actually low tier. THAT is what we should be voting on.
So I vote no, don't ban Ike.

You are reading way to hard into what I posted. So let's chill before this gets taken outa porportion. I am very...very...VERY, good to all my regulars that attend my tournaments. Anyone who KNOWS ME, will tell you that. And I have worked HARD to get this tournament to where it is now. And considering all the successful tournaments I have had/ran/and been too, I think my credibility speaks for itself.
Before you jump to conclusions.
So when I say: I feel Smash players are being spoiled, I mean that me coming from a tradional competitive fighting game community, I am NOT used to payouts going higher than top 3, or not being the traditional 70/20/10, or having eons and eons of rules/bans - for their tournaments.
And now I am starting to realize how much everyone (in this community) wants such and such to cater to their needs/wants (a prime example would be the Ike discussion we are currently having). Where the motive at each tournament should be: TO PLAY TO WIN!!! At all times.
Is this insulting? I personally don't think so. But people can believe what they want. Like you can. But I personally think it should be looked at as motivation. To bite the bullet and for once give a tournament your all. Instead of shooting for "barely making it" and getting the lil scraps u can muster.

I saw at least 4 players using PT for low tiers last tournament. And I know at least 2 people will be using Zelda, and that's only from the tournament's regulars. You're right that no one cares about Bowser though
Still, this isn't just about Ike. Banning Ike would be 10x more stupid than banning MK.

I wasn't talking ****. I personally don't give a **** I'm not placing top 5 anyway
but I'm just saying a lot of people would be pissed by what you said, you said it in a pretty poor manner. why not just say "smash players expect the TOs to cater to the average player more than other fighters"?
That way you state your point without being condescending.
also, comparing melee to brawl's debate over ike=fail lol
edit-lmao the only thing I'd trust that is "wayne approved" is the quality of a bakery's bread if ya know what i'm saying

Well that's your opinion. And I'll leave it at that. I already stated mine.
And you don't need to trust anyone's opinion. Come find out for yourself...
is all I can say.
