Pathways Smash XI September

Lux, if you can give all of the changes you'd like us trying out, we can use a modified rule set for this month instead of Unity (even if you're not going to be able to show up). I also want to try 1-stock bo5, which should go fast enough that we can run it parallel to other Brawl events. We should get a full rule set for that so it's totally clear how it works to everyone.
As for your argument about diversity, I think it's totally cool to ban 90% of the stages for 1-stock. I don't see most stages as a benefit, especially most of the counterpick stages in Unity. I agree 1-stock can't replace Unity, but Smash Bros is about having fun and Brawl is such a broken game that trying to create a catch-all solution to all of its problems gets too complicated to be as fun as it should be.

I've actually had a vendetta against the over centralization of the importance of winning game one within the committee and I'm starting to win people over towards changing that.
I could give you two suggestions that I see that might work work to solve this on a theoretical level. One is super simple, but it completely abandons the elements of counterpicking we hold now (tbh based on your previous post, this simple approach would be more to your liking because one of my personal distastes for it was that it would dampen stage diversity at the expense of competitive neutrality in terms of values). The other is my brain child, is super complicated, but I think might uphold my trifecta of imperative values (stage diversity, competitive neutrality, and decentralization of the importance of game 1) while maintaining elements of the current counter pick system.
So tldr: did you want the simple rule system or the complex one?

No one that doesn't use a high tier (MK) does.
I have both actually. However, I don't really use AIM, as I prefer MSN and Skype. I'm fairly active on Facebook as well.

I fully agree with Zant. All this Brawl talk. Sheesh.
So I asked Strong Bad a question about frame data that he actually DIDN'T know lol. Does anyone know if Falcon can jab reset and then Falcon Punch in enough time? It doesn't seem possible, but maybe frame perfect could work. Or teams....omg ****.

it really shouldn't be. last I checked the forced getup was either 13 or 26 frames (I could be wrong though), and Falcon Punch takes nearly a second.
Yes!: I'm in the Project M Back Room (as well as Melee Back Room obv). if LinkMO pulls through and I end up making it to this I'll probably bring the back room build.
Ziv: Teamsies for this?
Terral: Can I test out a new stagelist @ this? want to see the effects of some different stage lists in tournaments for MBR purposes.

I don't think falcon can do it on his own. Pawnch is too slow to do that.I fully agree with Zant. All this Brawl talk. Sheesh.

Go ahead and give us both, if not just because I'm curious. I'd probably go for a simpler one for an easier barrier-of-entry since we have a bunch of participants who don't check the boards and will have to be informed on-site.
I don't have an AIM, I went ahead and sent a friend request on Facebook.
I hope you heard that, Bert. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders.
It's likely, but I'd have to see the stage list first before agreeing to it. Not that I don't trust your judgement, more that I'm not really sure what could be improved.

Yeah, well I don't judge PS3 and 360 since the only games I like on those consoles (which are very few, mostly fighters only) are on both systems. Modern day gaming sucks anyway so it's funny to watch PS3 and 360 fanboys attack each other.

In my opinion the ps3 is better simply because it dubs as a bluray player. Plus I hate Microsoft.

From Columbia area: I may be coming depending on an event next weekend. And if I do come I'm absolutely down for some 64, I'll low tier Samus all of you or 0-death you with Yoshi.
But yeah I'd play brawl too.
