NNID: Kyro_Keatonlabs
Challonge: <<<(Usually Just Kyro)

Bwm i assume this is PST time yes?

 

[NachoThePikachu]

Accepted, of course, sir Keato. Challonge bracket updated.
Also yes! PST, thanks for reminding me @u@

 

[Xavix]

I'm in! NNID: xavix5
also, stage striking doesn't work in online tournaments because there is no real way to communicate what stage to strike, and the server will randomly choose what stage they play based on their choices, meaning that they would also have to communicate over that. I would propose just having a set of legal stages while removing pick/counter pick and stage striking
Also, I've created a special name to use for this tourney....
DOWN B
see you there!

 

[NachoThePikachu]

I'll take your word for it. And accepted, but for sake of organization i'll be keeping your name as Xavix, sorry. XD

6-8 PM pacific is like 9-11 PM eastern o-o

 

[KyroChao]

I'm aware, lol, im just giving a heads up

 

[isaiah :)]

so what do we do?

 

[Pikabunz]

Is there a chat or something we can all meet at?

 

[KyroChao]

I'll most likely create a new challonge for this so i can update it, and mske a chatroom if Nacho does not show up.

 

[KyroChao]

As fate would have it, i have somewhere to be, so anyone can take the helm on this if they're up for it

 

[NachoThePikachu]

Terribly sorry everyone! (As Kyro said, I wasn't able to get on and currently don't have access to my Wii U)
I apologize for any inconveniences. It's amusing to me that bunches of people started signing up suddenly when I wasn't around. XD
If you all don't mind, I can reschedule the tourney for next weekend! I see that some (rather, one person in particular) of you couldn't make it to the current planned times, and now knowing that I have plenty of participants (along with maybe grabbing more within the next week) it'd be much easier for me to reschedule for next weekend. (I'll see if I can push the times up earlier as well)
Until further notice, new set time is April 18th + 19th from 5pm to 7pm (Pacific Standard Time) both days.
Thanks for all the interest! Updating bracket and first post. ^u^
Again, terribly sorry about having to reschedule. Hope none of you mind. :3
(And yes, everyone shall be added to the bracket.)

Won't be able to make it then, sadly >.<

 

[NachoThePikachu]

Aw. I'm very sorry.
I'm afraid that I'm trying not to move around the dates too much, is it the time or the dates that are colliding with your free time? I would be willing to move the times back/forward just a tad, but there's not much I can do at this point. ouo"

 

[isaiah :)]

i just taught someone some basic pika tips, now no pika tourney sad.

Naw, it's fine. It's just, I have a tournament to go to on the 18th...haha...xP

So I'll definitely hope you get lots more people on-board =D but sadly I won't be able to participate xD

Good luck~
