Apex 2013 Smash 64 January 11-13th, 2013 Singles Bracket is now up

[KoRoBeNiKi]

It would be pretty cool if we got someone from screw attack to commentate, I know they prefer retro games and they said they would prefer to try commentating so why not. Would also get our game more in the public view.

Also, for some odd reason, cannot find any kikoushi videos

 

[KnitePhox]

HOLY ****, everyone that can't isn't coming to this you seriously ****ED UP. GGS COMBO, SHEER, FUNK, SK???....PWNED!

EDIT: Thanks so much FUNK! good **** man

EDIT2: FUNK, so these guys need someone to buy their tournament tickets? if i can get some kind of confirmation of their attendance beyond what was posted here(plane ticket or something??? idk) i can probly do 2/3 IF they pay $USD equivalent

EDIT3:...So for some reason I didn't understand or read the part where you said you registered them....fuuuuuck

 

[meowmeowrainbowkitty]

So. Much. Hyp3

hypex

 

[SSB64-Jel]

Hey everyone,

I'm proud to announce that THREE Japanese smash 64 players are attending Apex 2013!

Kikoushi
Ruoka Danchon
Nangoku

Currently helping them register on the Apex website.

GET HYPE!

I'm done registering them! They should show up on the list of entrants pretty soon.

Here's details on the players coming!

Kikoushi: Kirby player. Won the Japanese National Tournament in 2011 and placed 2nd in 2012. One of the top Japanese players.
Ruoka Danchon: Falcon player. Often goes to the final top 8 phase of the National Tournaments. Widely regarded as the best Falcon in Japan.
Nangoku: Ness/Falcon player. Don't know much about him, will add details once I do. ^^

Wow! Good job Funk.

I'd say the standings of this tourney were just RADICALLY altered.

Sorry Boom/Isai/Jaime, but top 3 is no longer a guaranteed for all of you.

And anyone who aspirations for top 4, you just got pwned. The Kirby and Falcon player are both legit contender for top 4.

Awesome. Good lord that just makes me even more pissed I'm not going.

WOW seems like top 10 for this event is going to be one big battle.

I'm sure Isai and Boom well still get some where in top 3. As for everyone other then them good luck to you.

 

[SheerMadness]

Now that I've seen vids the Ness is also a top 4 contender.

 

[Kefit]

Oh man oh man, three Japanese players?

This is gonna be the greatest smashing of my life. Gotta get ready to fight tooth and nail through this monster of a tournament :E

 

[Yobolight]

Now that I've seen vids the Ness is also a top 4 contender.

If Nangoku knows that in (U):
1. recovering high with Ness isn't really as much of an option anymore (especially without platforms (via Hyrule))
2. An opponent can DI a lot more effectively out of the Ness combos
3. Utilt has more knockback, and Uair has less knockback meaning a change in recipe for juggles.

I mean I hope these Japanese players have a copy of Smash US.
Like there isn't a near parity like Brawl where (J) players can swoop in and destroy, the differences between the regions are substantial and take getting used to.

I say they will perform well if they prepare well because just by looking at some vids it appears as if the competition in Japan is pretty stiff.

I expect Isai (If he plays to win) and Boom to be safe, but no one else, not even Jaime.

 

[KnitePhox]

Sucks that some people won't be staying AT LEAST all three days, including myself(****ing RUMBLY!)

Fortunately we get to go though

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

i'm staying for all three days.

 

[Nintendude]

I'm sure the Japanese can practice on kaillera with the (U) version if they want to.

 

[LLDL]

Have they already bought their plane tickets?

And I've got a great surprise for you guys as well

 

[Olikus]

Ruoka Danchon got 2nd in 2009 playing reaaly close to the great jousuke. He even won the first game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3SNuCAbsl0 and this is 3 years old so hes probably better now.

great hype =)

 

[King Funk]

Yes they have bought their tickets. And I paid for their registration.

I just need someone to collect the registration cash from them and then send me an equivalent amount of money through bank transfer.

 

[prisonchild]

i hope the japanese players get used to the US version of them game, wanna see them at full strength

 

[KnitePhox]

afaik tank and i are bringing some (J) carts, so they can have some home-style friendlies too!

dunno bout his but mine can fit in any standard USA console

 

[Battlecow]

**** YES JAPAN

already feeling that $20 from sensei in my pocket

also my own potential placing keeps on getting lower and lower

but I do NOT mind

this is ****ing AWESOME

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

also my own potential placing keeps on getting lower and lower

...is...is that you?

 

[Battlecow]

Yeah...

I'm kinda mediocre at this game

sometimes I say "good'

never great

and Ruoka Danchon is the ****in' definition of great

 

[malva00]

does this mean I shouldn't pick MARIO anymore? XD

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

correct, malva. it means that you should use rat.

 

[Yobolight]

I would be cool if you mixed it up via Genesis 2.

 

[The Star King]

Go Random every game Star King style

Actually if we had more online tournaments I would totally do that at some point

 

[Battlecow]

yo play your best and win by a lot

#minorityvote

 

[asianaussie]

wow this is suddenly hype, i hope nangoku places well

isai please go ness and show us he is good

also i think ill write up a ruleset without hyrule

after apex ofc

 

[SSB64-Jel]

does this mean I shouldn't pick MARIO anymore? XD

I think even If you go DK or Ness you will be fine XD. MARIO would still be cool doh.

 

[Olikus]

if some of the japanese players reaches semifinal. I wonder how they will adapt from best of 1 game DL only, to a best of 5 possible hyrule on many of them. ROFL.

 

[Nintendude]

Don't forget that with the new counterpicking rule, nobody can be forced to lose on Hyrule more than once in a best of 5 set. Same goes for Dreamland though.

 

[Battlecow]

unless we gentleman's clause that ****. Which I may do with the japanese.

 

[SheerMadness]

Real men will definitely go all dreamland vs the Japanese.

 

[Battlecow]

Sheer would both go all dreamland AND not DI

neither to accomodate them, though

 

[King Funk]

I'd be ashamed of anyone going Hyrule against them.

But play to win I guess.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

I'd be ashamed of anyone going Hyrule against them.

But play to win I guess.

I main falcon (offline) but I dislike DL, i don't know why

Hopefully I don't face them then
On another note, hopefully my seeding is based off of last year, will help

Spoiler

[KnitePhox]

Oxolane is OOC, Brazil iirc and eikelmann is from FL..might be other incorrects as well

 

[The Star King]

Who's better, KnitePhox or Han Solo?

 

[SheerMadness]

Can I ask politely why there's a cap to begin with? I mean if Nintendude and Chain-ace are running it themselves it shouldn't cause any problems with any of the other events right?

Plus if there were like 85 instead of 80 I don't see how that would make any difference at all.

 

[Cobrevolution]

Oxolane is OOC, Brazil iirc and eikelmann is from FL..might be other incorrects as well

ahh i was just going by what i saw on the entrants list. mah b. although that leaves everything as it was, ratio wise.

 

[KnitePhox]

Who's better, KnitePhox or Han Solo?

if srs, last we played console we was evens, he won the coinflip though. i have the upper hand in 12cb i believe

played all 5 fox v fox matches to last stock for tourney, they were fun


if not srs, you must be silenced

 

[banze]

Oh god !! 3 Japanese players attempting!!!

couldn't be more hyped !!

Are we going to do a team/crew battle ? its going to be so fu**** awesome!

I will have my training play with Cabelo this week.

 

[Han Solo]

At FC, I beat Knitephox 3-2. I went 1-2 on Hyrule and 2-0 on DL.

That's the only time we've played seriouslies. We played 2 hours of friendlies, and we were mostly even.
