Kain also had a stupid hard bracket. So imagine the stress. Same could be said for AZ too.

 

[AlphaZealot]

Actually playing Kain was pretty normal. Him and I have fought via AiB ladder matches probably a half dozen times in the last year-year and a half. I was very familiar with his play style/Wolf tricks, and he was very familiar with mine. I had some pretty intense matches, with every bracket set I played going to game 3 except for beating kingtoon 2-0. I lost a lot of game 1's as well (vs Kain, vs Quik, vs Arty).

me vs Vinnie is uploading to youtube right now, then I'll have the match up vs Kingtoon. I'll have to wait on VGbootcamp for the Coney/Atomsk matches but I made sure they were all saved to the SD card (I may have saved one of the atomsk games twice, just an FYI GIMR/VGbootcamp).

Huge thanks to Today for a great tournament and to Clowsui/Hilt/anyone else who helped!

MachinegunNorm, your sig makes it look like you're really salty that you're no good with ROB.

lmao that sig is super old. Big C made it for me when he was still playing brawl i'm way too lazy to change it or anything.

also one of the reasons i dropped rob was because i was tired of losing to people who only beat me because of the char i used.

You're my favorite deputies.

 

[Quik17]

AZ, did you get our matches by any chance?

 

[Hylian]

I was horribly sick during this . Sorry to all the people that asked to play me, I really just wasn't feeling well enough. The only games I played were my pool matches and tournament matches, the rest of the time I was trying to sleep. Several people told me I should have just fortified and they were right.

Thanks to everyone who told me they hoped I started feeling better.

 

[ArgentStew]

Tourney was pretty good. I had a lot of fun. I've only been out of the region once, and I don't see myself doing so again anytime soon so it was nice to meet a lot of the out-of-staters while they were here.

 

[AlphaZealot]

Final batch of vids:
Losers Quarter Finals
Game 1: AlphaZealot (Diddy Kong) vs Kingtoon (Toon Link): Smashville
Game 2: AlphaZealot (Diddy Kong) vs Kingtoon (Toon Link): Battlefield

Quik: Unfortunately no . I really with I had all of my bracket sets saved but unfortunately my computer is very low on memory (about 4 gigs at the start of the tournament, about 2.5 gigs now). This was after I deleted 4 gigs of video the morning of the tournament (I was under 500 mgs of free space before that). However, I got an external hard drive finally so hopefully I'll be able to transfer everything (like hundreds of Smash vids) to that drive to free up space instead of deleting golden videos.

Please also mark me as a Forfeit, I was in losers bracket, but the tournament took way to long to run, I left after I was knocked into Losers, at like midnight. I said something to Hilt, and Clowsui as I was leaving.

Some suggestions are to start the tournament on time, you started doubles very late. You knew you had a big tournament and should have started it on time, Pools should have been going while Doubles was wrapping up, and since you were low on setups you needed to cut back on allowing people breaks in between matches.

The part about doubles is not true. Doubles started before 12:30 which is a reasonable time and not more than a half hour later than scheduled (IIRC matches were called closer to 12 than to 1230 as well). The hiccup came (which you noted) between when doubles ended and when singles pools started, from what I could tell there was about 2-2.5 hours of dead time.

 

[clowsui]

That's why I think there should be one TO running the bracket and one working on pools stuff all the time. I was knocked out fairly early in doubles but I was running the bracket x__x

I intended to work on the pools stuff but Hilt was in charge of that + I didn't know where the pre-seeding list was :/, not to mention I had to run the bracket. This very same issue happened last SiiS with even less TOs, which is what makes this so aggravating honestly.

Doubles also had a huge problem where we couldn't find teams or teams would just forget about playing/take long breaks.

 

[CR4SH]

AZ in fourth!? Holy **** good work AZ!

Fizzle beat shugo!? Holy ****! Get 'em Frank!

 

[Deleted member]

Good **** at Kain beating Atomsk!!

Is there any videos of the match?

I really want to see this.

 

[SpongeJordan]

I really want to see this.

So do I. It was on the VGBC setup, so I assume it was recorded as well as livestreamed. Someone should have it.

 

[judge!]

gj az! original diddy goin hard!

 

[Coney]

ban metaknight

 

[Today]

It's just generally difficult to do a 2 day like event all in one day.

Both me and Hilt were the ones that worked on pools. We had out pre-seeding list, and we seeded pools accordingly. But there were issues trying to find extra setups.

Another thing that threw it off which was probably the main issue was while me and Hilt were seeding for pools... people had entered themselves as different names instead of their tags. And then people claiming that those names were other people when they weren't. So we had to re-move and re-work pools. It really threw us off.

Either way, SiiS5 will probably be two days.

 

[clowsui]

Either ban Metaknight or institute an LGL...I'd prefer the former since the latter is arbitrary but it seems like the latter would receive much less complaints.

 

[Xyless]

LGL would still be good for G&W.

 

[DtJ Composer]

And Pit!

And samus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Calebyte]

In addition to the LGL, I think there should be some kind of item rule for Diddy, ZSS, Peach, Wario, etc.. I mean, items are CLEARLY banned, yet these characters are allowed to use them because the have item-generating moves? Sounds like a double standard to me. Also, characters like MK and Marth hold swords by default, which are also items. We need to add more rules to limit characters to using only non-item moves and make the game more fair.

Complaints or scrooging? Take your pick. I'll be elsewhere not dealing with Scrooge McDuck's shenanigans.

 

[Dooms]

Mario uses a cape.
fludd
gloves
fire

ban mario.

 

[Roller]

Psh, of course the MARIO main names the sword characters. Thinking we'd overlook that op cape of yours? Think again. Not only is that thing an item itself, it actually REFLECTS items back at others. This is absurd.

I once saw a match with ~100 fireballs... Come on.

 

[Inui]

ban metaknight

No.

10no's

 

[Vermanubis]

Damn sonnnn. Where're the brackets?

 

[DtJ XeroXen]

Mario uses a cape.
fludd
gloves
fire
and can get bigger whenever he wants

ban mario.

I edited it a bit.

 

[smash64]

[SpongeJordan]

He can increase his size AT WILL. ****ing bull**** man.

 

[StarLight]

Rofl at all the talk on stream about AZ disqualifying Atomsk, Ally, and M2K during the IC's dittos, just saying!

Good **** coney and AZ

 

[SASSY]

The tourney was really fun. A ledge grab rule definitely needs to be in place to uhh.. keep people playing the game lol. Also, I think the TO's should have accepted help from one of the 3 MD/VA TO's who offered. Other than that, I have no complaints. I had a great weekend.

 

[Dooms]

That wasn't a problem from what I saw. Some of the people using nicknames/people not showing up/people we didn't know was what delayed pools. We had to wait for people that went out during pools to come back and play matches which delayed bracket. Among other things for both situations.

There is no set way to play the game, who says the game was meant to be played on the stage? Every character has different abilities. Abuse them to win, it's called Playing to win, by David Sirlin. You should read it.
