Hey everyone, so it turns out trying to run these games separately didn't get the response I expected, so I'm going to try to centralize it with one single biweekly.

Please note, despite me saying that it's a biweekly, it's going to be running both this week (Jan 7th) and next week (Jan 14th) so as to not compete with Melee's thursday biweeklies, but appeal to a few groups who request that I begin tournaments this year. After that, it will be alternating like I originally intended.

Schedule:
6:00 PM Venue Opens
7:00 PM Project M Bracket Begins
7:00 PM Sm4sh Bracket Begins

Costs:
Venue 5$
PM Bracket 5$
Sm4sh Bracket 5$

You can save a dollar on venue by bringing a setup for either game. The venue has plenty of TVs however, so please don't worry about that. We need a lot of consoles, and the game however so please help out!

Food:
In the same lot as Hall of Gaming is a subway within walking distance. We actually have a deal with Subway to give Smashers a small deal off. Talk to the venue owner to get details.

Split:
We're going to be doing a different split depending on entrants per each game.

Below 30:
60%/30%/10%

Above 30:
55%/30%/10%/5%

We'll be running the standard Apex Ruleset. 4 stocks, 8 minutes.

Starters:
Green Hill
Stadium 2
Smashville
Battlefield
Dreamland

Counterpicks:
Final Destination
Distant Planet
Norfair
Lylat Cruise
Wario Ware

There is a 1-2-1 stage striking with two bans per game.

We'll be running a two stock, six minute format.

Starters:
Omega Palutena's Temple
Battlefield
Smashville
Town and City
Lylat Cruise

Counterpicks:
Castle Siege
Delfino Plaza
Jungle Japes
Duck Hunt
Halberd

1-2-1 Stage Strikes, 2 Bans per game.

Stream:
Smash For Wii U is a work in progress, as we lack the ability to capture it on an HDTV (lack supplies), but we're streaming PM at the moment and it's doing great. We are looking for consistent commentators, so if you're interested go for it!

http://www.twitch.tv/ctstockexchange

Bracket
I'll be uploading brackets to Smashboards so people can claim points. I realize that despite it not mattering to quite a few of us, there are people who would like it and I'll be consistently doing it for both games.

Controllers
This seemed to be a surprising topic last time, by quite a few people. Plenty of people brought the new Gamecube controllers that function like a classic controller add-on. That's fine, but please remember to bring EVERYTHING necessary to make it function. If you need a Wiimote to play Sm4sh, please bring the Wiimote.

Always have mad fun here and glad to see so many people interested in getting better. I encourage everyone to not be shy and ask for friendlies in the future, whenever. I'll likely say yes and try to offer on the fly advice =)

Probably going to come on Wednesday, how many people are you expecting? Also, I can bring a gamecube adapter if you need one.

We'll probably be fine on Wii U adaptors, last week we had 19 for PM and 17 for Sm4sh IIRC. So it's a pretty decent turnout considering that was the first one.

Just a reminder, for anyone who showed up last week, we are running again this week due to schedule conflicts before we go to a proper biweekly format. I know it says that in the opening post, but considering how wonky this is, you gotta play it safe.

So it seems the roads will be good enough tomorrow for the venue to be open.

In other news, I'm making some minor changes to the biweekly. PM and Sm4sh will be ran at the same time, and bringing a setup cuts a dollar off venue.

I've noticed a lot of players are interested in getting matches in with me and have a lot of questions, so I've come up with a solution to make sure people get their turn as well as guaranteed time to play.

Introducing Dissent Incentive;
All players that enter Smash 4 at Hall of Gaming (when I'm there, of course) get a guaranteed 3 friendlies with me. If you want critique I will certainly provide it but you must be okay with it being on the fly, I won't remember many things by the end of the match. I plan on going tonight, so if you want a guaranteed round of games with me, enter, let me know that you want to play at some point and we'll make time when there are setups available.

Hi guys, totally new to the area and this site. I've played some Smash in my day though.

Couple questions - do I need to sign up anywhere? Or just show up with cash and a controller? Do people do friendlies? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.

Another thought - When/where are the Melee weeklies that were mentioned?

Hey, happy to help ya.
Sign up is there, just show up with the cash for venue, the tournaments you wanna play, and the controller. We usually have enough setups for friendlies after a while, but tournament matches take priority.

The Melee weeklies are at the same place on thursday and we alternate the weeks. The weather last week stopped them from running it, so we're running both this week.

Sorry I had to duck out after I lost, I have work early in the mornings! I aim to come to these once a month, and I will be crazy looking forward to each one!

Good stuff last night Enker, I was definitely surprised when you took that set off me! It's not often people succeed in gimping me twice in one set.

Also, really good games to JoeST. After having reset the bracket and getting to the last game of grand finals, he finished me off with the Little Mac falling NAir chain off stage after I wall clung. I have yet to see a Mac be ballsy enough to go for it AND time it right, so it was definitely hype.

We had a REALLY good turnout last night and I've already seen a lot of players improving, so I hope everyone and more continues to come to these :)

I missed it! Ugh! That sounds awesome.

Is there a link to last night's brackets?

I have some suggestions, which are you should remove Kongo Jungle/Jungle Japes from the counterpick list, and replace Delfino Plaza with Halberd. Nobody likes those stages, but everyone agrees that Halberd is a good stage. It is a legal counterpick in Brawl, also.

You should also make it more clear how many bans and strikes there are. Most people there are doing 1-2-2-1 strikes and 2 bans, when the post says 1-2-1 and 1 ban. Other than that, the 2 times I've been here are awesome! I'll definitely be coming regularly.

I know a lot of players that enjoy Delfino including myself, but the stagelist and rules definitely need a real revising.

I love delfino myself and think jungle japes is needed as a diddy counter for now. I'll be looking at some other events to find stagelists and update it.

1 stage ban is fine, and I didn't know there was an issue with people not knowing that, I'll be sure to make that more apparent for next time.

Yeah that would help! I'm new to the tourney scene and didn't know the difference between a ban and a strike. *Runs to Google to look it up riiiight now* :p

Edit: When does one make a ban? Is it before or after the strikes are made? Also, who makes the ban?

Yeah, every game I played had people doing 2 bans and 1-2-2-1 stage striking. As for Delfino, it's just a really janky stage in my opinion. Unlike Halberd, there's no time to rest in between transitions, it keeps going from place to place, often with walk offs or some other gimmicks. The section with the 4 platforms raised above the water is the worst offender.

I can understand Kongo Jungle as a counterpick, but at the very least Halberd should be added, especially if Delfino is legal.

The winner of each match gets to ban a stage that he doesn't want to get counterpicked to.

Oh! Picking a ban is a second and third match thing. Gotcha.

Hey, because of the monthly that happened this weekend, and the major coming up this weekend there's going to be a break for a week. Hope to see you all again in March!
