Pathways Smash XII May - Ft. Dart, Iori, KC, StL, Arkansas, and more!

[Dart!]

Sounds exciting. Can't wait to play everybody. Maybe i should pick up sheik for samus >:D

 

[Terral]

Hey, I live in the Springfield area and I just havent looked for competitive play because ive been busy. This will be when I have a nice break so count me and probably a few local buddies in

Awesome. We have monthly tournaments here in Springfield at Pathways, though we normally don't get so many travelers. This tournament will be pretty special, so it's a good time to join in and have matches against some top-level players.

 

[>Bert<]

Swag, that means we can have two recording setups between yours and Ugvts'.

Strong Bad, I REALLY want my Dazzle back.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Bert, Imma bring my laptop and dazzle and you can show me how to set it up without dropping 5000 frames every match, yeah?

I was under the impression Marth > Samus fairly easily. No?

lol that's a deal.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Yeah I agree but Dart is pretty backwards. He's like 70-30 vs Sheik for example.

 

[Zantetsu]

Who's Iori? Never heard of him. Then again, I haven't kept up with the Melee scene in so long.

 

[>Bert<]

Iori isn't new by any means. He's that smasher that has no main, but still consistently places well with basically any char. There are vids of him.

 

[Bill_Cosby]

This is going to be intense. I might have to bring out my main.

 

[ihavespaceblondes]

Can't wait to see everybody.
Dart - Sheik huh? Looking forward to it.

 

[Zantetsu]

Iori isn't new by any means. He's that smasher that has no main, but still consistently places well with basically any char. There are vids of him.

When I say I haven't kept up with the Melee scene in a long time, I'm talking about in the past 4 years. I quit paying attention in 08'. Unless he was around then or before and winning big tournaments, I wouldn't have heard of him.

It's going to be awesome to see/play against ihavespaceballs again. It's been almost a year, I think.

 

[Smashallday]

@zivilyn like right down the road from MSU local, not from here though. and yah im always down to play but itd have to be sometime before finals start ramping up or something

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Iori is pretty underground for as long as he's been around. He's insanely good though. Check out his elo.

I want to propose we use a $10 entry fee. I know our locals are going to be sad but, we have some serious Midwest/South talent coming to this expecting a legitimate tournament experience. I think we should step up and put a little more money on the line to increase our chances of bringing these high level players back. If somebody can't do $10, PM me and I'll see if I can help.

What do you say?

EDIT: Smashallday, PM me your number dude. We can txt. We are playing tonight and also tomorrow if you're down.

 

[Terry]

I'll try my hardest to represent MO. :]

 

[arbustos]

I can also record and got dem subscribers because of Apex

Iori, IHSB, Nite, and (Pika)Chad are the mavens of the midsouth They all have tourney wins over great great players.

 

[Strong Badam]

Strong Bad, I REALLY want my Dazzle back.

I can give it back at this tourney lol

 

[Vts]

Sounds exciting. Can't wait to play everybody. Maybe i should pick up sheik for samus >:D

I'm confused cus i picked up marth to counter samus why are you switch to sheik vs samus? lol

so odd.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Dart, I have a couple of really good vs Samus tricks I can show you

Entry Fee is going to be $10 with top 4 payout unless you guys can convince me why we shouldn't.

P:M side event so bring your setups with SD cards

 

[Wretched]

I don't have ten dollars to enter singles.

 

[Cookiemonsta]

Crap. Sheik is the only character I can't play Captain well against. Looks like I'mma have to dust off my spacies.

but at any rate, I'm down for the 10$ Singles fee. Will doubles be 10$ also or is it still gon be 5$ per person?

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Dubs will be $5 per person.

If you are in the Springfield Crew and can't pay the $10 and want to play, PM me and I'll see if I can help.

 

[>Bert<]

All in favor of $10 entry fee say "Aye"

Aye.

And thank you Strong Bad.

 

[Strong Badam]

all not in favor go **** yourselves IM MAKIN HELLA $ AT THIS YO

 

[zZz]

$10 Hear Hear!

BTW Iori's ego is now over 9000 right now

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

$10 Hear Hear!

BTW Iori's ego is now over 9000 right now

Lol why? I didn't feed it too much, did I??

 

[zZz]

Lol why? I didn't feed it too much, did I??

He gets really happy if you just mention his name let alone complement him

 

[arbustos]

Iori is such a ****in ********** **** ** ribs *** ****er

 

[Strong Badam]

Iori is such a ****in ********** **** ** ribs *** ****er

 

[Dart!]

Not really, it used to be but samus players have gotten a lot better at CCing and avoiding some of marths go to stuff. He doesn't have the kind of aggro/agile grab that sheik does despite having bigger range. it doesn't matter how big your grab is if it isn't fast enough to reach them it doesn't matter.
On the other end there are still super bad situations for samus vs marth and i just need to improve at getting samus in them.

 

[MeatIsMURDER]

need an epic teammate so I can pay for gas with doubles winnings
edit-and buy a haircut

 

[Wretched]

I am bad at this game so I will not team with you.

 

[Strong Badam]

afaik I'm teaming with Dart, but Jace is available. he got 9th at SMYM, you should contact him.

 

[>Bert<]

Jace I'll cover your singles entry fee and doubles entry fee if you team with me!







But if not, that's cool too...

 

[Dart!]

yo is karl going? he ***** in teams/ziv needs a teammate as well.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Actually I'm holding off on finding a teammate until I know 100% that I'll be able to enter. I'm scheduled to work that Saturday and am trying to find somebody to trade a day off with me.

EDIT: Also, this will be how seeding is done. In Tio, it lets you designate a number for skill and then seed by skill. We are going to use this as our foundation for seeding pools:
10 Skill = 1700+ Elo
9 Skill = 1600-1699 Elo
8 Skill = 1500-1599 Elo
7 Skill = 1400-1499 Elo
6 Skill = 1300-1399 Elo
5 Skill = 1200-1299 Elo
4 Skill = 1100-1199 and Unrated Elo
3 Skill = 1000-1099 Elo
2 Skill = 900-999 Elo
1 Skill = Below 900 Elo

Also Elo's will be based off current Elo's as listed in the SSBPD. See page one, post three of this thread for an updated list of entrants and their Elo's, in order of Elo.

 

[Terry]

I need a teammate but I'm not very good.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Terry needs a teammate and he is pretty good.

 

[Strong Badam]

Does Nite still main Falcon? Or who?

EDIT: Falco? Okay.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Does Nite still main Falcon? Or who?

Falco, I believe. I wish Deku was going to this. I'd love to see him vs Nite.
