Haha, guess we'll just have to stay up all night or something then; that, or a hostel. The first night is gonna suck.

Etc

This the same problem we've had since the days when I tried doing all of the organising for the London community, either we find a hall which throws in overnight stay OR housing. Either of the two are extremely difficult to find in this city.

Regardless of the ****ty housing situation, the fact remains that I now have a free day (the 27th) to smash with you guys. Is anyone able to host? That day is basically the only time I'll get to meet up with some of you and play =P

When you buy premium membership you can "prank" 2 other members and give them pink names and the title "pranked!". I think it was Yen that pranked Trio and prof.

Yeah I wanna play you and record the matches iswell.
Maybe Fuzzyness might host an event but I will speak to him about it.

 

[Fuzzyness]

yeah 27th is cool for me

 

[Professor Pro]

Do you have recording equipment Fuzzy at your house?

Cos the canadians in another thread said they wanna see how he does against us lol.

So let's show them what we can do to him

 

[Bullet Bill]

yea after all the UK is the best country for melee by far

 

[Professor Pro]

Yeah we are lol.
But anyway we still have to represent when he comes anyway, and show we are good.

 

[Unreal91]

I'm still coming to the montly on the 29th although i haven't played any smash for about a week i seriously need a training method that will actually make me improve :'(.

 

[Pickled_No0b]

If your willing to get the train out to surbiton, should be around £6.00 with a travel card, id be up for giving you a few games!

anyway see you all soon.

 

[xatm092]

If I Get Fuzzyness In My Pool Again I'm Gonna Rage So Hard...

 

[Bullet Bill]

no johns . you will always get a seed in your pool so you will always have a tough opponent. It's up to you to play well enough to beat them and earn your place in the bracket

 

[xatm092]

Last time I beat everyone but 2 people in my bracket.

Only 2 go through...

;_;

 

[Yeniths]

Alright guys I'm hoping to make this or SvB I'm not sure which yet but will most likely come with Trio3.

 

[Willz]

Go SVB I will 100% go to that. But it seems no one is going so I will win it easy.

 

[Professor Pro]

I'm still coming to the montly on the 29th although i haven't played any smash for about a week i seriously need a training method that will actually make me improve :'(.

You should be practicing all of the basics ATs (Advanced Techniques) and become consistent with them.
Last time when I watched you on the livestream I would defintely say this is what you need to do. And watch vidoes of other marths to get an idea of how to play with the character.

no johns . you will always get a seed in your pool so you will always have a tough opponent. It's up to you to play well enough to beat them and earn your place in the bracket

I agree lol.
But I think he just might be annoyed at the fact he gets the same top seed.
I hate the idea of the 4 people in 1 pool thing.
I think it REALLY makes the outcome of the top 2 predictable and I saw a hell of alot of predictable outcomes in the pools and I just see it as a bit unfair to people who are new and don't stand a chance but maybe i'm wrong.

Alright guys I'm hoping to make this or SvB I'm not sure which yet but will most likely come with Trio3.

Come to this, seriously.
The majortiy of the people aren't going SvB due to it's venue price shooting up to £20/25 and plus it's a 3 day event which will mean you will have to be housed for 3 days.
You will have more fun at the 29th where the majortiy of people are going to be there and the competition is higher.

 

[Sanu]

yeah 27th is cool for me

Do you have recording equipment Fuzzy at your house?

Cos the canadians in another thread said they wanna see how he does against us lol.

So let's show them what we can do to him

Sounds good to me; just pm me your address, contact info, the earliest I can be there and all those other details.

 

[Fuzzyness]

alright =p

 

[MakoMako]

Prof, would you mind if I changed it to pools of 4-5 with 3 people going through instead of 2?

 

[Anaky]

Go SVB I will 100% go to that. But it seems no one is going so I will win it easy.

Willz im not going to SVB its costing yoo much and hardly any1 is going.

Alright guys I'm hoping to make this or SvB I'm not sure which yet but will most likely come with Trio3.

George were going to this, and im gonna enter Melee this time, KingNDJ we gotta play some matches this time.

 

[king_NDj247]

Yea will do trio if u saw my earlier post this is gonna probably b my last. I'm hoping pools r top 3 go through coz we hve enough time n if I hve anything 2 say about it ppl will b doing those matches quickly there will b no free tvs 4 friendlies until after tournament is finished or we hve a 20min break 2 sort everything out

 

[Professor Pro]

Prof, would you mind if I changed it to pools of 4-5 with 3 people going through instead of 2?

I think that sounds good as long as the brackets can handle it but yeah, 3 people sounds better.

George were going to this, and im gonna enter Melee this time, KingNDJ we gotta play some matches this time.

Nice, are you beginning to like melee now lol?

 

[Anaky]

Nice, are you beginning to like melee now lol?

Yeah i am actually but i still suck, gonna beat Charles in a £1 MM, he's gotta 4 stock me with a low tier looool.

 

[OmegaExile]

this is gonna be the 1st tourey i go to!!! d^_^b wohooo... hope i do well lol
how is the money split btw?

 

[MakoMako]

The cash money is split 60/30/10.

So you guyz, do you think pools should be best of 1 or best of 3. Best of 3 MIGHT work if the pools have like 4 people each but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to risk flopping such a good day just for a few more games at the beginning keeping in mind that 3 people advancing would also make the brackets slightly longer.
Best of 1 when you only have like 3 games in the pool might be a little frightening to some though, and best of 3 would give some new people more time to get over their nerves by the time they're in brackets.

 

[jjlinyard]

best of 3 is the way to go.

 

[Tamoo]

i dont see whats wrong with best of 3 and top 2 go through to be honest, pools of 4

 

[jjlinyard]

best of 3, top 3 go through pools of 5/6 depending on tunrout, may make the bracket outcome less predictable and can provide better experience for the mid skilled players.

 

[Pickled_No0b]

yeah best of 3. I know the best players always end up in the finals anyway, but if its best of 1 a couple of SDs may cost you a place in the bracket that you really should have. (using the chain instead of up b in my case )

 

[Professor Pro]

I like the sound of best of 3 cos even if the new people do not get through atleast they got a bit more experience even if it does stay at top 2 go through in a pool of through.

And these are the people that we want to attract so give them a taste of tournament and counterpicking and stage banning and stuff.


BUT this does mean that EVERYONE needs to co-operate with the people which are in their pool and please if you acctually don't have another game to play (Brawl or Melee) sit at the TV which your pool is set to. I will try to walk around and make sure everything is running smoothly but theres no point of doing the best of 3 thing if it wastes alot of time cos people took too long to play their games cos they were playing friendlies or watching their friends sets.

 

[Professor Pro]

this is gonna be the 1st tourey i go to!!! d^_^b wohooo... hope i do well lol
how is the money split btw?

1st place gets 60% of the money
2nd 30%
3rd 10%

I thought you went to the last one lol but Good luck for your first tournament anyway, make sure whatever the outcome don't feel discouraged to play at the tournament but instead try to soak up as much knowledge as you can about the game.

Try to find out if there are any people that play in your area so you could meet up with them cos it's always good to have a friend to play with.

HSAM Don't you lot live in West London? IFFF you do then maybe you could meet up with OmegaExile.

 

[jjlinyard]

yeah hmmm true true, but if i am correct he plays brawl only where as we are really just focusing on melee lol ive basically quit brawl so have 2 other members.

 

[MakoMako]

How about **** pools and just do brackets with however many people come, I'm looking at all these regional tournaments and they're having like 45 man brackets.

Fact : pools is a waste of time unless there are like 70-80+ people at the tournament.

Which is more convenient for new people who want to get used to the smash community, best of 3 pools then brackets. OR straight to brackets then lots of friendlies cuz of the sheer amount of time left due to skipping pools?

Let me add numbers to make it more clear.

say we have 36 entrants for the smash tournament.

A bracket of 36 would mean there will be 71 matches taking place for the whole tournament to finish.

9 pools of 4 would mean there are 108 best of 3 matches for pools. Then 18 people advance, brackets will require another 35 matches to finish. So the tournament would require 143 matches to finish.

71 vs 143 SOMEBODY tell me why we didn't scrap pools sooner.
