Hey guys! We already run The Break Smash Bi-Weekly, which runs every other FRIDAY in Dunellen:
http://smashboards.com/threads/dec-5-2014-the-break-smash-bi-weekly-melee-dunellen-nj.340411/

Well now we want to try adding Smash 4 for the Wii-U into the main TUESDAY lineup! Why not run the event on Fridays with Melee? Well two reasons... Firstly, we really dont have the space to run two Smash events at the same time, especially if we get a lot of players. And secondly, Melee and Wii-U use different monitors/TVs, and it would be a pain to have to switch between them. All of our Tuesday games are already run on official EVO low-latency monitors; so we already have monitors to run Wii-U.

In case you don't know, we dont charge a venue fee at The Break. This means we can't afford to buy consoles to run the tournaments on. So we depend on you guys, the players in order to bring consoles/games/adapters each week. So if you plan on showing up, please consider bringing a setup for Smash Wii-U with you. We need consoles, games and controller adapters. If you want to bring monitors with you so we can have more than 4 setups, you can do that too!

LOCATION: http://www.thebreak.net/

8 on the Break
340 North Avenue
Dunellen, NJ 08812​

I want to remind people to bring some setups for tonight's tournament. Also, this is our first smash 4 tournament and we didn't have time to do a lot of advertising... So let people know and try to bring them with you!

Okay guys, we had an issue this week with people showing up late. But we were lenient about it because apparently the facebook said we were starting at 8, not 7. That will be fixed for the future. However, for the future, we will no longer be this lenient.

The tournament WILL start at 8pm EXACTLY. Signups will begin at 7. If you're going to be late, you can let us know and we will put you in the brackets. We will try to delay your matches as long as possible to prevent DQs. However, if we reach a point where we no longer have matches to run, we will start DQing, no exceptions. Just because you are a "famous" player, just because you drove 2 hours from New York doesn't give you special privileges.

You guys know I run a tight ship. Vestboy_Myst didn't even come this week because he was going to be 15 minutes late and was already afraid I would have DQ'd him... and he helps me run these tournaments. If you're coming from New York, consider using rail transit. The Dunellen train station is literally across the street. Don't drive during traffic hour unless you have to.

I apologize for anyone's experience that was ruined because a couple of guys were late. I'm very much against delaying a tournament for a few players, because I feel it punishes those who showed up on time; and rewards those who ended up being late. Pride had to leave early because of the delays, so I want to apologize to him again. I will be covering his entry fee next week to make up for the problems.

Hey guys, next week will be our second time doing smash 4 at the break. I hope we can get a bigger turnout, especially since it won't be the week during Thanksgiving. If you can make it, come by to show your support. Remember, we don't charge a house fee!

If you can't make it out physically, consider running into the stream http://twitch.TV/8wayrun

Also, don't forget that we do melee at the break every other Friday. Our next melee tournament is on December 5.

Thanks Jaxel for the apology but it wasn't necessary. :). You were in a tight place. I am a grandpa when it comes to staying out late and I just didn't want to risk being there past my grandpa bed time when I Wasn't sure when I would get to play again.

I got absolutely murdered on Stream, but that was a cool experience for my first tourney. Everyone seems as tough as I've heard. .--.

Our stage selection process makes more sense than the current rules... You press RANDOM, thats it.

We already have a selection of stages set up and enabled in advance.

why run this tournament differently than every tournament that's been run in the past 10+ years? i've legit never heard anyone complain about striking and/or counterpicking. if you don't understand the game, don't make a ruleset for it thanks :)

Yeah... lets keep gay marriage illegal, because thats how we've been doing it for the past few hundred years. Same thing with slavery and marijuana possession too.

Just because you've been doing something some way for a long time doesn't make it right. And we've addressed these issues in the rules discussion thread. If you have a problem with it, then I guess you're just not a good enough tournament player to adapt to change.

You know, since you guys seem to be open to new things instead of following the same rules in the past, have you considered allowing the Mii Fighters + Palutena and their customs legal? Unlike other custom moves, these do not need to be unlocked so there is no point in banning them.

Generally there are two ways to go about these rules so I'd like to propose them to you.

Option 1: Mii Fighters + Palutena Customs allowed, player must choose their loadout before the tournament and stick with it for the entire duration. Players must name their loadout the same as what they use such as 2122, 3212, 1122, ect, so that opponents know what to expect. Mii Fighters must choose one of the Guest Miis as their character (they always come in default height/width and are present on any Wii U)

Option 2: Mii Fighters + Palutena Customs allowed, but are limited to 1111, 2222, and 3333 pre-set loadouts. Mii Fighters must choose one of the Guest Miis as their character (they always come in default height/width and are present on any Wii U)


I personally think it would be a nice change considering nobody is giving these characters and their alternate moves a chance. I might not be able to make it to these tournaments myself, but I'd like to see them legal anyways so that more people would consider 2222 and 3333 loadouts of Mii Fighters and Palutena to be real characters.

If you have any more questions about these rulings, please don't hesitate to ask me!

Hey there's an event this week right? Also are you guys every going to go about changing the 'experimental ruleset' you have been using? {alot of people dislike it imo, ive talked to a bunch of people about ur Venue, u have an awesome timeslot and place to host tournys but alot of people don't like the ruleset} I'm sure ur a fan of EVO and i'm not sure if ur aware of the current change of the metagame/rulesets that are happening due to EVO's official WiiU Ruleset. http://evo.shoryuken.com/additional-rules/

SUPER SMASH BROS FOR WIIU
  • Game version: US Nintendo WiiU
  • Game Settings: 2 Stock, 5 Minute Time Limit, Items Off, Equipment Off, 2/3 Games
  • Custom moves are allowed.
  • Starter stages: Battlefield, Final Destination, Smashville, Lylat Cruise, Town & City
  • Counter-pick stages: Castle Siege, Delfino Plaza, Duck Hunt, Halberd
  • Winning player is not locked into the same character for the next match, but has to pick before loser selects character.
  • You may not choose a stage you have already won on unless mutually agreed to.

    I honestly highly recommend switching to this, If you'r WiiUs don't have Customs, I'd suggest getting a 3DS and Smash and a "Master File" to unlock all the customs on whoevers wiiu that comes in, [Google standard custom ruleset to see what im talking about, quick way to do it is with Powersaves Pro for the 3ds [an action replay thing, itll unlock all the customs for u, but u gotta set up the standardized sets]. If i wind up coming to this tomorrow, My 3DS has the Master File and i can inport all the custom moves on to every setup there. Also do u have Monitors? I have a WiiU with Adapter i can bring in if so, [i dont own a Monitor yet unfortunately]

    Hope You consider this stuff for future events, Hopefully i can make it out there tomorrow [im like 2-3 times better then last time i came honestly :p ] and yeah thanks for reading.
