Haha, we do a Melee singles tournament practically every meeting anyways.

Also, how ironic that the first tournament besides the low tier tourney that I got to grand finals was a Brawl tourney.

 

[Noc]

lol well we've never really had a melee singles tourney as the main event. I should be able to get more flyers out earlier this time, and with the prizes I hope we will get our best turnout yet! (We kinda need to do a tourney w/ entry fees anyways to make a little profit since our funds are gettin a bit low.)

Oh the irony is hilarious

Melee doubles... now

 

[BRLNK88]

I'd be up for Melee doubles, though I'd still like Brawl + crew battle, Clay already said he's up for it.
Though we could possibly be one Brawl + set-up shorter.
I wanted to play Metroid Prime Trilogy on Clay's Wii, but to do so I had to update his Wii, and there were warnings that Homebrew Channel would be deactivated if the Wii was updated to 4.2.
So we tried a different alternative from Smash Workshop for updating the Wii. The installation claimed it was successful, but when I went back to the Wii Menu, homebrew had phucking disappeared!!
AND, it still forced me to do the Nintendo update to play the game.
Nintendo clearly hates hardcore gamers now.

 

[Tirno]

Don't listen to him Clay. Stay true to the Melee!

 

[BRLNK88]

Clay: Seriously, you can have a preference for one game over the other but that doesn't mean you have to never play the other game, think it is no fun at all, or look down on those that play it.

HA, Edgar

 

[Tirno]

Ha? I didn't tell him to do any of those things. I just told him to do the right thing and pick Melee, haha.

Melee doubles... now

I was thinking our first major event w/ entry fees should be a singles tourney. Maybe more people would come cuz they wouldn't have to worry about finding a partner. But if I'm wrong and turnout for a Melee doubles tourney would be good, I would totally be up for it since Melee doubles is too fun! We should at least have it as a minor event next meeting.

...I'd still like Brawl + crew battle...

I doubt we'll ever have Brawl+ as a main event since just not enough people play it. If we want a good turnout for a tourney, it has to be for a widely-known game. There is a slight chance we could do a brawl+ event in the future if we gradually convert many brawl players to brawl+, but don't count on this. We can always have it as a fun little side event.

This, but I knew Edgar was joking.
And as a Linguist, I know that tone of voice tells a lot about what a person says.

I meant just as a side event. Obviously it wouldn't be any fun just beating up a bunch of noobs.

You're a Linguist wannabe Edgar, haha.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

well ya know you can always go retro and do like an event revolving around Smash 64. hadnt really used it and could be interesting to battle old school style

 

[Kal]

Eh, no one really enjoys a smash 64 tourney. Whenever they were held last year, we had maybe 5 entrants, and people usually withdrew after they got bored.

Nintendo's been cracking down on homebrew users now u know...(ban ppl from hacking online w/ like MKWii)
and i heard the new Wii menu was bad.

Also hope to get my own wii soon mwaha

Actually, I'm not even sure if it updated it to 4.2.
In any case, we'll try to get Homebrew back. I guess just run the Twilight Hack again and see what happens.

 

[Kal]

Twilight hack doesn't work on 4.2, bro.

 

[theeboredone]

Use starfall program to bypass updates.

 

[Noc]

I would be up for an SSB64 event! Maybe only as a side event though. You might be surprised how many people would come for it. I was surprised to get a roommate last year that played it a lot and was good.

 

[BRLNK88]

Well, we'll try it first to see if it really is 4.2, and if it is, there exists alternatives, so we'll just have to try some crap out.
In fact, my Wii wasn't 4.2 I don't think and the Twilight Hack still didn't work, but we eventually got something to work.
Well, you wouldn't by chance already know what does work on 4.2?

oh yea maybe not no major event but a side event we can try during a club meeting.

Rohan, if you can make Falcon and Ike this manly, I'd love to play Brawl anyday =D

 

[HMV]

How bout a low tier brawl tourney or a manly tourney where only the top 10 chars in the man tier can be used or something hilarious like that.

Also, u can run Trilogy in any wii through Gecko OS without updating. For 4.2, u can install the HBC through banner bomb v2, or stack smash and the hackmii installer.

 

[BRLNK88]

oh yeah, I forgot you're a hacking expert.

How about if Clay and I can't make it work, you take a crack at it?

 

[BRLNK88]

It wasn't unfair for Edgar to use MK; he basically never plays brawl and maybe needed a little handicap. I gotta say he is quite good at brawl for not playing it though, it is MUCH easier for a melee player to do well in brawl than vice versa.

We are not banning MK--you'll just have to learn how to counter him.

Then why is everyone else allowed to ban MK?
This isn't out of hatred for the character, if it was I would ask to ban Diddy, its cuz he really is broken.

 

[AustinRC]

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=8856521#post8856521 Please come it'll be nice to have you all.

 

[Kal]

Rohan, we're not banning MK. He's banned in Houston, but the consensus amongst the Barlw community is that, while he is a lot better than the rest of the cast, it's not enough to warrant a ban. This is evidenced by a lot of tournaments which don't feature MK dominating the top placings.

 

[Hylian]

Also, he was unbanned last hobo, and unbanned for the hobo coming up.

 

[Kal]

Do you just keyword search "ban + MK," Jordan?

Also, you should come to the next meeting. People sometimes ask me Barlw questions and my advice is always "camp harder." I think you could probably elaborate on that some.

 

[JesusFreak]

Kal, we should play some time soon. I want as much practice as I can get for Oklahoma. And you always do well against me, so I figure I could learn some things from playing you.

 

[Kal]

Play Edgar, his Falco beats me sometimes.

 

[JesusFreak]

I don't need Falco practice though haha. And I'll be happy to play whoever. I'm not working tomorrow...

 

[Kal]

Tomorrow isn't very good for me. Got assignments to do, then a raid at night.

 

[BRLNK88]

Hylian!!
You should totally come to our next Brawl tourney, Bored's been complaining about having no competition.

 

[Kal]

Also, how rude of Jesus Freak to refuse to play Edgar on the premise that he does not "need Falco practice!"

 

[JesusFreak]

I said I would play anyone...

 

[BRLNK88]

btw HMV, Clay and I got homebrew channel back, took about 5 mins haha.
thnx again for ur help
