Fancy Smash in Naperville, IL *UPDATED* July, 12th

[Me14k]

If there is room and it doesn't get in the way of the flow of the brawl portion, yes.

you have to 10$ mm too. jk

:D

-Zec

Ill $5 mm a set of 3 in melee...I need money, zec.

 

[playdan]

I dont have a wii but i can atleast bring a cube :o

 

[Me14k]

Ill be doing a lot of melee $mm's.

Any1 up for it?

 

[dj asakura]

Just a thought on the time limit argument...

Maybe Zec is right, the 5 minute time limit may force people to play a more aggressive style. I wish I could go to this because that's how I play.

Give it a shot, maybe it'll help

 

[Brightside6382]

Zec you should try to do 1-stock BO5 . You said you wanted to try something new and that actually sounds interesting.

 

[Overswarm]

I don't think I'm going to this, but Big C: let me know how the 5 minute thing works out later :D

 

[Byronman]

One stock is a little overboard don't you think?

 

[metroid1117]

Hey, can we bring a Wii and a TV to waive the venue fee, but then leave early? Also, when are the doubles and singles tournaments starting?

I maynot be the best at melee but i'm in.

In regards to the rules here, It is possible that both players will resort to ledge camping in sudden death. OH wait the bombs come right? well unfortunately, they ONLY explode above the stage. The bombs also hinder someone trying to approach the ledge camper because if the bombs come they are the one that gets hit

plus, it only takes 20 seconds for the bombs to come, making ledge camping in SD a safe bet. People with experience in SD will know wat im talking about. If you dont then examine the nature of it on your own and you'll see.

So then if this is the case it will become a contest of who can drop down, jump, and regrab the ledge better. I actually tested this out with my bro a while ago and we were untouched by any bombs for a good 5 + mins until one of us f'd up(went too high when there was a bomb).

Just putting this out there so we all have a better understanding of SD and the possible tactics revolving around it.

 

[paralasalud]

sooo i've got people that want to come to this but can't make it until noon or 1ish.

is there a time when singles will start?

 

[Me14k]

$1?

Low Tier $mm as well?

The player who doesn't camp the whole 20 seconds wins.
Remember.. Ledge Stalling without the intent to attack will cost you the match.

Doubles starts @ 12 and singles .. well... when doubles end.
I'll be running the tourny more than playing so this should go smoothly.

2 things though... 1st
If we can't use the TV / wii in the tourny at all... then no. That'd be silly. Pay the 5$ and if you stay AT LEAST to the end of doubles and I'll give you the 5$ back? I'd appreciate, if it is crowded, that you would stay for the whole thing though

Also, if someone could link me to that free tourny software so I can load it up on the lap top that'd be great.

Try to be there by 11:30 to give plenty of time to get warm'd up and such before the start at 12.... if you show up past 12 we may have started doubles already and you will be forced to wait until singles. This is especially the case if we go right to brackets.


Thanks for all the feedback so far. :D

Hmm... that's unfortunate... any reason why doubles are starting before singles? I'm just curious because my parents are taking me and my friends there, and I doubt they'd be willing to stay in Naperville that long. (My friends and I only intend on playing singles.)

 

[Teebs]

hmm... this sounds interesting. I'm supposed to drive to Elgin on the 13th, so maybe I can add a day to my trip and attend this.

 

[Mars-]

A stall rule? The only problem would be who is going to enforce it? The people playing can't just look at the time and keep watching it because then they are distracted. And who watches brawl matches lol.

Tourney's tend to have doubles then singles.

That is a good point. Not every match can be watched by someone..and the stall rule might only lead to arguments.

Mars: post our melee vids.

Hey everyone, might make this my first tourney. Never played Melee or anything...

Since I wouldn't know anyone, while doubles are going on would I be able to play friendlies with people? And after I get eliminated in singles, do people still play friendlies or should I just go home? I'm probably not going far in the tourney itself, I'm more interested in just playing with people offline since I have only played offline once or twice, lol.

 

[TheStig]

i can bring a 13 inch tv, wii, melee/brawl for singles if it is still needed

 

[playdan]

$1?

Low Tier $mm as well?

$1
is fine with me
but low tier i dunno cause i normally forget the tier list

 

[Akashi]

Hi there, both me and a friend of mine are going to attend the tourney (doubles), so count us in!

P.S: Obviously my first post, but a huge lurker lol

 

[Me14k]

$1
is fine with me
but low tier i dunno cause i normally forget the tier list

the majority of the characters are lowtier/bottom tier..

Some of them are:

Pikachu
Luigi
ylink
link
mewtwo
kirby
bowser
pichu
ness
dk
yoshi

 

[Brightside6382]

Luigi shouldn't be considered low tier lol

 

[metroid1117]

How long do you think doubles would take (with your current list of people)? Would it be okay to arrive later than 12 if you are not interested in playing in the doubles tournament?

 

[Mars-]

@playdan- Ban corneria, thats the only stage his low teirs are good on.

Anyway I don't think I'm going to this anymore sorry for the late notice I got other things going on.

 

[kirkq]

Unfortunately my parents just informed me that my family reunion is this weekend, so it's a no-go

I won't gun camp with ness, I reserve that for BigC :-)

 

[Sn1per]

Hello Everyone ! :D

I am going to give a count to the venue about how many TVs we are going to have. I would truely appreciate if you bring a tv!

Copies of Smash and WIIs are obviously in demand as well.

More than enough is better than not enough.

Just a couple days until the big day. Bring as many Brawlers as you can!

I'm thinking doubles will take 2-2.5 hours so if you are just showing up for singles be there by 2:30.
This is an assumption may I add. If doubles get done in an hour than singles will get going.

My cell is available (PM ME) if you want to call me for anything.

Thansk!

[Akashi]

I have a quick question, Zec. Can we change the controls for our GC controller to disable tap jumping, or is that prohibited? (anyone can answer this if you know the answer)

You can change them. Just be quick with it so it doesn't slow down anything ! :D

[Akashi]

Thanks for the quick response ^^

 

[Byronman]

Yeah I'd like to do that to. Tap jumping sucks.

Actually if anyone knows how to use a name you've saved on a wiimote on a different wii, that would work...

 

[crazn137]

I'm not exactly sure why people turn off tap jumping ~_~;

I personally love having it on =3

 

[Byronman]

It ruins my tilts and makes me jump when I don't want to so...

 

[DancingSteel]

Dahm...

I live in Oswego and I've been looking for tournaments around here, but I cant go that day. If you host another, though, I could probably go and bring three pretty competent players with me.

Keep em comin

 

[metroid1117]

I'm definitely bringing a TV, a Wii, and a copy of both Brawl and Melee.

 

[iao]

I'll 1$ MM someone in melee, if you tell me how to wavedash and answer my question i posted earlier. Free $.

Edit: Must use low tiers, and also tell me how to change my main on here. The little icon..

 

[Akashi]

It ruins my tilts and makes me jump when I don't want to so...

Yeah, my main is Diddy and my secondary is Ike, and taking tap jump off benefits both of them. It's different strokes really@_@

sure thing. $1 best of three low tier.

Wavedash: Overrated. I don't do it and i do just fine. But to do it, just put the control stick between the diagonal down slot and the down slot, now press x/y and immediately press L/R. There are a ton of youtube videos on it. Every character's WD timing is different. Practice with luigi's.

I couldn't find the question you asked earlier.
