SBR Rated Tournament #2 [canceled]

[Nintendude]

With the conclusion of the first SBR Rated Tournament, it is now time for another one! The first round will consist of two 5-person pools. The top-2 contestants in each round robin will advance to a second pool of 4, where the winner of the tournament will be determined. The purpose of a round robin style tournament is so more matches are played, increasing the accuracy of the ratings generated from the results.

We regret to announce that at this time, only North American players may participate. If there is enough interest, the SBR can hold events for Europe, South America, and other regions in the future.

This tournament uses the SBR Recommended Ruleset:

Spoiler

Game Settings

Mode: STOCK
Stocks: 5
Handicap: OFF
Team Attack: ON
Stage Select: ON
Damage: 100%
Item Switch: NONE
All Characters Available

Stages

The Starter Stage List consists of Congo Jungle, Hyrule Castle and Dream Land.
The Counterpick Stage List consists of Peach's Castle.

First match of all sets is selected by a 3-stage striking system with the Starter Stage List. An impartial observer/tournament organiser flips a coin to decide who strikes first. Rock-paper-scissors is alright too, but it's technically a skill irrelevant to smash. If this is impossible (online), whoever strikes first will be pre-decided by an RNG.

The 64 Recommended Ruleset uses the stage striking system. In this system, players take turns striking stages from the Starter Stage List until only one remains; these stages are not banned and can be counterpicked later in the set.

Characters

All characters are legal.

Black DK (Right-C), Dark Samus (Down-C) and Dark Falcon (Right-C) are discouraged if Congo Jungle is the stage for visibility reasons. The opposing player may reset the match without penalty if they wish for a colour change. Taking or dealing any damage nullifies this right.

Low Tiers are all characters in B tier and below: Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Jigglypuff, Ness, Luigi, Samus and Link.

Set Procedure
Players select characters for first match. Double Blind Picks may be called.
Players strike stages.
The first match is played.
The loser of the previous match selects the next match's stage from the Starter Stage and Counterpick Stage Lists.
The winner of the previous match selects their character.
The loser of the previous match selects their character.
The next match is played.
Above four steps are repeated if necessary.
Sets are best of 5

If we can't get one more person I'll have to cut Koro and go with two pools of 4. Sorry...
Or I guess there can be a pool of 4 and a pool of 5 if nobody has issues with that.

Added jimmy and killer to msn, Surri and I will play like we always do. Sent a PM to sw96.

GL everyone

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

people messaged me, i messaged them (I think.lol)

 

[jimmyjoe]

So I left today for a week long, surely debaucherous RV trip and I doubt ill have a good connection anywhere, but who knows. Most likely I'll be back on kailler a week from tomorrow to start getting these matches in

 

[Surri-Sama]

sw96 has a user requested ban on his profile now, not sure what that'll mean to this league.

 

[felipe_9595]

Can i enter??? I can play on galaxy without lag (i dont care about playing with delay)

Nick: Felipe_9595
Contact: felipe_10montero@hotmail.com or Pm me

 

[Nintendude]

Felipe are you from South America? This is North America only.

Also, since sw96 is banned I'd like to find a replacement. After starting the tourney I noticed he was spamming all over the ssb64 board so I was skeptical of him anyway.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

Jaime Har Har won vs me 3-0

Closer games than it seemed for that score, lol3stockcomeback

Also..my new computer has HAX di

 

[LLDL]

Is something currently wrong with the Galaxy?

Hope you got a replacement(why dont you join) cause sw96 had no idea what I was talking about when I messaged him

never mind dont send me messages about sbr thingy ok

 

[Nintendude]

I'm not joining because my internet here sucks too much for me to play.

 

[LLDL]

I haven't been able to play even one friendly on the Galaxy. I counted 14 different opponents who I started a game with and they couldn't move at the menu or desync. I have the updated kaillera client. Any suggestions? If not then I won't be able to play.

 

[Nintendude]

Does this only happen on Galaxy?

 

[Froski]

On the part where they aren't able to move its probably the plugin (nrage) the person is using which probably needs raw data unchecked. As for desych.....it happens at random there's no way you can actually stop it from happening.

 

[LLDL]

I believe the two problems are related, as I used to be able to play just fine, and it's happening with kaillera period, for me.

 

[Surri-Sama]

I'm currently unable to play smash64...

My ps3 driver has stopped working altogether and motionjoy wont load any drivers (always fails)

I have to drop out

 

[Nintendude]

Dang, that sucks. Well, since 2 people from the same pool dropped then Chain-Ace is getting moved to pool 2. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Hopefully Chain-Ace can also solve his own connection problems.

 

[LLDL]

Yeah I fixed the connection problems. I'll get those matches in asap.

 

[Nintendude]

Ok, great. Your opponents are now Jimmy Joe, Killer, and Peek.

 

[Nintendude]

It appears that after one and a half months only one match has been played. Are people even trying to play their matches or will I have to cancel this?

 

[Glöwworm]

It appears that after one and a half months only one match has been played. Are people even trying to play their matches or will I have to cancel this?

Such events like these make me feel discouraged about Smash 64

 

[LLDL]

Definitely hit up all my opponents and check regularly at the galaxy, they're seldom there.

 

[asianaussie]

i blame the forum move, to be honest

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

^^^This more than anything.

I will still play my matches if other people wish to continue as well.
