Austin TX, Brawl/ Melee tourny July 11th

[Popertop]

I might come to this.
Dunno. Depends on my schedule and if I get permission.
Put me as a might for Melee and Brawl.
And as a YES for Bushido and GGAC and 3rd strike.
And as a "h-WAT" for pop'n whatever.

Wobbles, I can't practice what you taught me, but hopefully my brain will absorb it and I'll be better when i come up there maybe.
I should just go Falco the whole time...

BIG MAYBE, but if I go it will be sweet, and hopefully I can make it to the beaumont tourney the next day also....

 

[-RedShadow]

Any chances that someone'll record matches or somethin'? Y'know....to upload on Internetz????

Also, does any1 know if the Melee & Brawl events will be separate times or will both be going at the same time? (T.T)

 

[AustinRC]

I'm going to try and have each event at a different time to help everything go smoothly.

 

[LeeHarris]

So who from SA wants to carpool to this? Kite?

 

[bluezaft]

Since Melee teams was actually more popular than Brawl teams at FS4, Brawl teams should be replaced by Melee teams at TAMBOURINE.

Yeah I'm calling it TAMBOURINE, what of it!?

 

[LeeHarris]

That's because Brawl teams was done so poorly. It didn't start until extremely late into the evening and most people had left because the tournament was going so slow and there were so few setups. FS4 is a bad example as to why something should happen.

At the last HOBO I went to, they did teams first and the attendance was huge.

 

[bluezaft]

Since Melee teams was actually way more fun than Brawl teams at FS4, Brawl teams should be replaced by Melee teams at TAMBOURINE.

 

[-RedShadow]

Hmmm I can try to bring a TV as well if it helps. But is it necessary for them to be small, or do you think I can get away with bringing a BIG one?

 

[AustinRC]

Your request for Melee teams has been taken into account bluezaft thank you.

Way to totally ignore his counterpoint and repeat your original claim.
Nice logic there sir.

Way to totally ignore my subtle word changes and think I repeated my original claim.
Nice attention to detail there sir.


Oh man, bluezaft did it again! He's unstoppable!



Anywho, I will bring a tv/cube setup with a VCR to record Melee.

 

[AustinRC]

Bluezaft the mind games are for when your playing keep your mind games out of my forum! and thanks for bringing the setup.

Other than that, it's fine.

 

[LeeHarris]

Well, we have had hundreds of pages of discussion over levels in the SBR and I took out the only ones that are really controversial.

Norfair's lava doesn't kill until uber high percents, Port Town has really easy to avoid cars (but they kill at around 60%, so it's a maybe), Mario Circuit you can pick a character that doesn't get CGd by D3, Onett's cars don't kill anymore and it's not tall enough to only have vertical KOs, there is absolutely nothing wrong with PS2, and Distant Planet, which I've since removed, only has one hazard and you'd have to be an idiot to die by it.

Any other questions?

 

[DoH]

i love port town. we're dating.

Timer should be 7 or 6. Brawl takes way too long as it is. I dunno about two stage bans either.

 

[LeeHarris]

The CP list is far larger than many TO's, including the one used for the FS series. Two stage bans would not leave one player at a disadvantage. Players should learn to utilize several characters and stages. I'm not arguing for it or against it, it's just a new concept many people are using.

Also, the timer should be at LEAST 7 minutes. Most of the 1st round matches are 3-5 minutes, and the CPs are usually around 6. Semis and finals, however, can be very intense and easily last 7 minutes. The matches should not be forced to end by time if they are the focal point of a tournament.

 

[RT]

Hmm, I might come to this...and I'll bring a Wii if I do.

 

[Hylian]

This is AustinRC on Hylians account.

Neutral Random stages:
Battlefield
Smashville
Yoshi's Island
Final Destination
Lylat Cruise

Counter Pick:
Battleship Halberd
Delfino Plaza
Corneria (Melee)
Great Sea
Rainbow Ride
Frigate Orpheon
Castle Siege
Brinstar (Melee)
Green Greens (Melee)
Pokemon Stadium

Everything else is banned.

This is what I'm going to go by for now, only complaints I've had are of Lylat being on random other than that what do yall think? I'm trying to give a different stage select because those stages seem legit to me if you have a problem with it tell me why you think the stage or stages should be banned. Thanks again!

 

[LeeHarris]

Did you even change anything?

**** no to Lylat being a neutral. It ****s up the auto canceling of several characters and it bones recoveries.

Green greens should never ever be not banned. D3 can CG into the blocks and throw them through bombs.

I don't think Corneria should be a CP because of the way D3 and other can camp the fin so easily, but it's not that big of a deal.

I think you should have more stages, but that's your call and it's not that big of a deal.

 

[Anh]

hmm, i'll see if i can make it to this tournament. sounds like fun!

 

[Sethlon]

Mario Circuit you can pick a character that doesn't get CGd by D3

Green greens should never ever be not banned. D3 can CG into the blocks and throw them through bombs

Lawl.

I think Jungle Japes should be a viable counterpick. I mean, some chars can do some gay stuff on it (why hello there falco spike into water), but other characters can do plenty of gay stuff on other counterpick stages. I mean, thats why its counterpicked, right? And the water makes it so if you accidentally fall off the right side you don't auto-die sans melee.

I'm against Lylat being a neutral also. I don't like stages that tilt away from me when I try to sweetspot the edge.

 

[LeeHarris]

lol actually i fought with people a lot and i think mariocircuit should be banned. green reens already has a lot working against it plus 4 walls that arent far apart. i also support jungle japes

 

[Popertop]

Sethlon.

Carpool?
If you, me, and Roy are going...
I think Rockettrainer said he wanted to go too.

Also, ARC.
Add me to Melee.

 

[Sethlon]

I think gabe is planning on going...if he changes his mind I'd totally be up for it.

 

[-RedShadow]

So uhhh...WHY exactly is this thread not stickied? It's too good to not be.

 

[Jadedlink]

I'll probably show up.

 

[Bwett]

Can't wait for this. I missed the San Antonio one, but all of G-Krew (Infinity, Fogo, Ice, and me) from Dallas should be present.

EDIT: I second the motion for Lylat being a CP instead of neutral. Too many uncool things happen there. Also, Green Greens...I've seen ridiculous amounts of suicides, infinites, and death by bombs there. Personally, I would love to see it banned.

 

[DoH]

**** that, i heart green greens.

I'm officially coming! fo sho.

 

[Pneuma]

**** yes. Also sign me up with bringing a Wii.

 

[Hylian]

I asked off work for this. I need money for florida >_<.

 

[Melee1]

I will also be carpooling up there.

 

[AustinRC]

I've tested out a few more stages and nothing was to fair I dont really want the mario circut one because of bull**** tactics... also I'm adding Jungle Japes to counter pick A. due to popular demand and B. you can do some sweet tricks on that stage and also Lylat curise is now on CP instead of neutral. I'm going to keep Green Greens and Corneria and if there is a huge debate about it later on I WILL ban it for my next tournament. The reason for a counter pick is to be able to have a slight advantage in a match I think most of those stages give those characters a slight advantage. But thats me.

On another note WE NEED MORE TV'S!!!!!!!!

 

[PozerWolf]

Keep it 7 mins and 3 stocks, please.
7 mins is long enough, having it at 8 is just ********.

But in general, this tournament is starting to sound really nice. I hope I can make it but I won't know for sure until sometime around this coming Tuesday.

If I do make it, I will bring a TV (I believe I noted this before, not sure).

Gonna see if I can also invite some other friends into attending this event.

 

[LeeHarris]

Having a lower time limit doesn't make anyone camp less and it makes more matches end by time. If someone is going to camp, they are going to camp regardless of the time.

I'd 100% support 7 minutes, but some of the CPs are so large that it can push the match to being really long even without extensive camping.

There would be about 88 matches in a 60 man tourney. Assuming they average to 2.5 games each, that's 220 games.

Even if 1/15 matches go an extra minute (which is way too many), you're looking at 14 games going an extra minute. That's 14 minutes of extra time for the entire tournament.

Not a big deal at all.
