I can't believe this is actually thing I need to do, but I just wanted to log in to say that this Tir Na Smash is in no way affiliated with me and the Tir Na Smash tournaments I ran in the past. It's just some random dude stealing the name without telling me about it.

Hmm, there doesn't' seem to be a project M video topic, so I'm just bumping this one. All the videos from NOMDOCON have now been uploaded. What distinguishes these from previously linked vids is that they all have commentary; and I did my best to try and rotate the people on the mics in and...

Additional venue footage from the day, with mockery of Marvel players as a bonus.

"O' Smashathon" (yes really) took place on the 31st of May, and somehow materialised 30+ Melee and Project M players who had never met before into a really hype day of games. I would say this was the first properly competitive Irish Smash tournament, with levels of play I haven't personally...

All the vids are in the playlist now in case you want to see the totally dramatic final is that not an embarrassing series of suicides...

Riding on the coat-tails of Evo seems to working out pretty well for Irish Smash, as this time we had "Srs rules singles tournament" at our most recent multi-game event, and Smash was the 2nd most entered game (beating IJ and Marvel, but not AE). I wonder are many other Smash scenes seeing...

These videos do appear to be drawing some hibernating Smash players out of the local woodwork to possibly participate in future tournaments. If anyone has any tips for future recordings to help us appear more pro, I'd appreciate any advice. A few problems I noticed myself off the bat...

A bit of context: The Ireland Smash scene died many years ago, and the few players were absorbed by other FG scenes (I ended up in the SF4 scene) or stopped playing entirely. On the weekend of Evo though, I really wanted us to play some Melee, so I pushed heavily for a "fun" team tournament...

I just dusted off this old account to say: F**K YEAH, THE SMASH SCENE FIGHTS COPYRIGHTS AND DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANYBODY *ahem* Seriously though, good show. I am super hype to watch all the Melee matches at evo. Every single damn one, because the entire thing was nearly taken away from us.

Hey man, welcome to Ireland. Sorry our scene isn't sweet like Sweden. I've been the only person previously to organise tournaments, but I've gotten a bit busier with my job, so I don't really have time anymore to run things; and nobody else seems to want to host in my place :( Nobody's posted...

The Gamestop one was Nintendo sponsored to promote the launch of Brawl, so it's unlikely they'll do a country-wide event like that again. On the other hand, a lot of individual managers are happy to have tournaments and stuff if it can boost sales. So there might be merit there after all.

I imagine it was a pretty easy win indeed. I don't think you can really declare the death of a scene, just because I couldn't host a tournament that only happens once a year in the first place. We all need to meet up a lot more regularly to have a "scene", and something much more drastic than...

I actually met Nathan in Blanchardstown a few weeks back Matt, he's doing his leaving cert this year so he didn't think he'd be able to make it.
