Phantom Hits Tournament Southampton : 10th-11th April Inertia's not Dead

[Bullet Bill]

BULLET BILL HAS SAIDETH: It Gonna Rain!

sideways

 

[Professor Pro]

I might not be here lol.
As usual I can never guarantee my arrival at an event until it get closer so I dunno if I can make it yet. I will be there for the banter though for all you banter fans.

 

[Dacacia]

But you have to come so we can sneak your sexy self into Jesters lol All our massive banter based plans will be left in ruins if you don't attend!

 

[BrTarolg]

Holy **** you actually got this tourney going!

Well ima definately come since i live here! even if i dont play much smash anymore i will 100% support it.

I can also house people (preferably those from london whom i know) - my flat is enough to fit one person on a couch, and several people on a hard (lightly carpeted) floor (if you can bear that)
Also, my house has heating on the max, so its warm!

edit: ahh 10th april i will be in singapore visiting my family i think. Sorry about that. If the date gets changed again for some unknown reason, let me know and ill be able to participate.
redit: hold that thought. maybe i will be able to make this after all, and i will try and organise my trip to singapore to be before this so i arrive the day before!

good news. I can pick you up if you want

 

[Professor Pro]

I dunno if I can make this you know because people usually book for me and I have no idea how to book by myself LOL. Unless someone gives me an idea of what I have to do and where I have to go and how much I have to pay and stuff. Fuzzy usually does it for me loool.

 

[Fuzzyness]

ok so whoever wants to go confirm here (Londoners)

It might be as cheap as £5-7 this time

[Professor Pro]

A noob who ***** you.

 

[Bullet Bill]

Well just incase anyone didn't notice inertia's put a lot more details on the first page including travel.

 

[Professor Pro]

Seriously though I dont mind going but I dont wanna book now cos I can never really GUARANTEE my arrival BUT on the other hand i'm thinking I might because it will be less now......

 

[Inertia123]

Look at this way Pro. Its not too far for you, its not to expensive and you get to sleep in my house ^^ What more could you want?

Also The Chin Review is absolutely brilliant. WATCH IT!!!

 

[Bullet Bill]

a quick note- those sleeping at Inertias will need something to sleep on as his floor is wood

 

[Kone]

Think you guys need to really push this tournament on msn to everyone or what not. Few hiccups may prevent a good turnout. Straighten it out =D

Im 50-50 for this. See how iam after germany

 

[COEY]

A noob who ***** you.

Hey, can u put me down for a ticket, cheers fuzzy

I will definitely be attending this, as it fits nicely within the Easter holiday iirc,
Also, im pretty sure Clockmire, frugs, and JPM will be attending this aswell, but Ill let clockmire and frugs confirm their attendance. Ill speak on behalf of JPM if he decides not to create an account.

Also, Ive told the leader of HSAM bout this too to drum up some extra interest and new talent.

 

[Dacacia]

Ummm, Pete, why do all the links to maps on the OP go to the same very zoomed out map of the UK? Also, they're ALL searching for highfield campus...

lol, 'leader'... xD
Anyway, yeah, I'd be interested, book me a ticket please, fuzz :D

 

[Smudge]

Aiko, how much did the train you book from Manchester cost? Both ways.

 

[Jolteon]

yeah book me one ofc charles :x

 

[Fuzzyness]

i guess i'll be booking 10 tickets again

 

[Inertia123]

Yeah I looked just before I left home Duncan and was like wtf is going on. I got all the maps up but the address ****ed itself somehow.....

I'll add more stuff when I'm back home and less tired.

 

[Pickled_No0b]

hmm my mum is not happy about me going away for easter! pete are we going to allocate people houses online before the tourney? And also can you give me a lift down?

 

[BrTarolg]

Since the tournament starts on the 11th, that means if i get back on the evening of the 10th to england, that will be good enough for me housing people?

 

[Bullet Bill]

no need to do that people can just go wherever or where they want. So long as theres enough room for everyone which I'm pretty sure there will be.

Vince- We've already got me Callum Duncan and Pete housing so theres no real pressure or expectation for you.

 

[VA]

I *might* come. Unlikely still.

 

[Inertia123]

You can sleep in my bed

Yeah Calum my mum is being pretty gay about this. From the looks of it I won't be able to drive down, which is going to be a pain in the arse.

I'll put up stuff tomorrow I'm just in a random internet cafe atm.

 

[Koop_88]

If VA comes, I'll come. interesting use of the word come.

ahh that sucks..

 

[Dacacia]

Hmm, haven't actually spoken to my parents about coming back on easter... God it's just such a treck. Hopefully they'll be alright about it, but you never know.

 

[SwizzyUK]

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread until now :/

Dates sound fine. Will confirm closer to the time (following in Pro's footsteps)
Probly won't need housing.
Also, Jesters is an absolute s**thole... I highly recommend it.

 

[Fuzzyness]

im gonna book for londoners when the tickets are up on megabus so be patient, So i'm going to have 10 spots most likely and its gonna be first come first served? I'll name the price when it comes up but shouldnt be more than £5-8 each ticket hopefully

yeah so we going to go out on the saturday night as it finishes at 10pm?

 

[VA]

Ew I'm not going out.

 

[Kone]

I think as hosts your going to have to decide how going out on the saturday night will work. Alot of smashers wont want to or arent old enough. As a result you got to make sure you get them to housing before heading out or what not. Not sure how you guys are but you may not want to leave people in your houses on their own :/

Dacacia - Alot of people coming to your tournament are travelling as far as you are if not further eg ive got a extra two hours on top and the scots alot more

 

[Inertia123]

Yeah I've realised this already. We will be going out on Saturday. The plan which will hopefully work is to have you guys start clearing up and leave at around 9ish, everything can be taken back to my house as it is closer. I'm happy to have younger people stay and play in my house while I'm out but it depends on numbers. People who want to go out can then go out for however long they fancy.

More importantly the first post has been updated. It now contains a ruleset and the maps have also been fixed and should now show useful locations. Stages have not been decided yet. I'm asking you guys what you would like.

1. A more professional ruleset with fewer stages but stages that don't lean so heavily towards one character type.
2. A more fun style ruleset with more stages and counterpicks which favour certain characters.

So basically the stages up in the air at the moment are:

Mute City, Brinstar, Rainbow Ride, Pokefloats, DonkeyKong64, Corneria.

One last request in this post. If anyone can bring any TVs I will pay you £3 per TV you bring up to the limit we'll need. I will also run this for setups as well, a setups will get you £1 (by a setup I mean a Wii or cube with melee). This will be done on a first come first served basis and the cap will be 10 TVs and 10 setups, if there are going to be an overwhelming number of people I may ask for more but this seems unlikely.

 

[Kone]

Inertia - Theres no need to pay for people bringing setups, not to a small scale uk tourney. The UK community expects to have to bring setups. Always has and always pulls through. Just ask people to bring them and they will .

TVs its a good idea but i think you'll find there pretty much no one excpet myself and RnF that drive and are able to bring tvs. Unless people bring them on trains and buses which has never happened before U_U.

I dont really understand your two points regarding stage choice. Its highly opinionated and theres no reason as to why the second option is factually the 'more' fun. To be honest id love to have a poke stadium only tournament as its the only stage i like and enjoy more than any of the others lol. See my point?

I think you need to come up with a basic ruleset. Read other tourney threads and talk to your crew then if theres stages your not sure to have on/off then debate it here.

Personally, I think mute, brinstar, ride, dk64 should be on. Floats and corneria are too fox like for me lol

I will try my best to make this. If I do, because of the close proximity of venue to housing, bringing 2-3 tvs shouldnt be an issue. I always bring a setup with me and if needed can bring 2-5 lol
