[Nov 15, 2014] Smash 101 (Oak Park, IL)

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

This is the same exact day as the Game Pazzo tournament event. Dang it.

UPDATE: the Game Pazzo event date has changed! It'll be on the 22nd or the 29th!

 

[Blitzkrieg Deity]

Totally thinking about it. Work has been a ***** lately so I'm hoping I'll get next Saturday off.

 

[Kamo.]

Anyone showing up for Brawl?

 

[BoTastic!]

Anyone showing up for Brawl?

I'm mainly looking forward to PM but I'm sure I'll be there for Brawl as well.

 

[B.W.]

Wrong thread, disregard post.

 

[Dr. Chopsaw]

Never been to an event before, but I'm planning on coming to this one for PM. Any 64 love around here? I feel like nobody plays it much anymore, but it's the one I've put the most hours into.

Haven't seen 64 played unless its announced weeks before for an event at EXP, which is just Games2compete hosting it. We have 20-30~ players for PM that usually come every week, including myself.

 

[Zwarm]

I love 64, I would play with you for sure if I make it.

That would be awesome, except I don't have an N64, game cartridge, or controllers I can bring
I play a lot here at school, but it's all my roommates stuff.

There is an N64 and a copy of Smash 64 at the venue so you wouldn't have to bring one. We also have a couple N64 controllers.

 

[pooch182]

Did you ever figure out why the N64 wasn't capturing well? It'd be sweet if we could squeeze in 64 crews on stream this time around.

 

[DireDrop]

I may come to this. Last one was really fun.

The Hauppauge HD PVR couldn't capture from the N64, but we have an Elgato Game Capture now which can do that. Also I'm pretty sure Zwarm can capture it with his pc's built in capture device.

I'm aware of how the PM doubles will work. How will Crew battles be selected? Is it by choice or what?

Also, even though Brawl lessons will be going on and what not, is it cool to play PM friendlies if a set up is available?

I would like to know this as well. Although, I don't know how the lessons or PM doubles are being handled.

 

[B.W.]

Do these lessons get streamed and do they have commentary if the do?

Cause I know some people out of state that might benefit from watching

@ ITALIAN N1NJA @ BoTastic! Crew Battles have two captains and the captains switch off on who they're choosing from the list when you pay the venue fee. No point not to join it.

There are sections for each game, so yes its fine if there's a setup.

@ B.W. I don't believe so, but they could be if asked. So far lessons have just been what Oro?! decides to teach everyone but don't be afraid to ask a better player to give you tips for your character.

Not exactly sure how doubles is going to work. I think its just you join the doubles match and get partnered with a higher skilled player.

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

Thanks Kaysick. I'll see you there man.

 

[Captain Faceroll]

I can't wait to win doubles with whoever my "veteran" partner is

 

[B.W.]

Thanks for the answers Kaysick. I mostly was asking because I have some friends in VA who are getting into the game but they're still learning basics.

I'm hoping to be there this week. It'll be my first Smash 101

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

It'll be my first Smash 101

Same here man! *high fives*

 

[grandpappy]

I'm definitely going to be there, so it'll be my first 101 as well. Looking forward to it

 

[grandpappy]

Is there a deadline entry time for the PM doubles? I might not be able to make it until 5-ish.

I'm bringing a buddy so expect two scrubs at your event!

 

[B.W.]

I won't be there til later. Probably like 6 or so. Sucks. Was hoping to be able to get in on that doubles

 

[DireDrop]

Good stuff guys. GGs all around.

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

Good games with everyone. First Smash 101. Had a great time. Never had done a crew battle before today. That was awesome. Thanks for the great event!

Same here, it was nice meeting and playing you, Ninja!

 

[B.W.]

My captain wanted me to kill myself... Lol.

It was fun though. Doubles was great. I want a 2v2 set with Oro and Zig while jrock and I team. Dunno what happened and I wanted to play that team

 

[Mega Manny]

That was awesome. I'm less and less free every time I go. I finally have my mains so i'll be sticking to Melee for a while. ggs dudes!

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

Same to you Bo! GG

 

[grandpappy]

I had a great time yesterday dudes. Shoutouts to @ Kaysick for being a great teammate. Looking forward to the next time I get to smash at EXP

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

My shoutout goes to @ Plasma for being such a good teammate. Your Lucas is so good dude!

 

[Plasma]

Good stuff man, teaming with you was fun as hell lol

 

[SLAUGHTERMELON]

Last time I played Smash was Brawl when it came out so many years ago. Haven't played since then, but I do have my old GC controller and I recently moved back to town. Seeing the Smash documentary made me consider getting back into the scene. I've never played PM or Melee, would it be okay if I showed up to this with literally no experience whatsoever?

That's perfectly fine, Smash 101 doesn't have a serious tournament. You're supposed to get experience and learn on this monthly event.

 

[SLAUGHTERMELON]

Okay then I'll be there. Look forward to meeting everyone! I'll be the guy playing the worst Marth y'all have ever seen. Feel free to help me out!

 

[Zwarm]

No, it's okay, you literally have the best avatar I've ever seen. Therefore by my logic you might actually be really good at Melee and PM

 

[DireDrop]

I love these things. I'll be there Saturday.

 

[9bit]

If I'm not hungover as **** I think I'll come to this thing.

 

[BLUX]

I better get some money matches
