Houston Smash Ultimate Thread

[RT]

At this point, it is safe to assume gliding is out. The way it was implemented in Brawl and balancing it is difficult. Plus it was never needed in the first place anyways and doesn't fit with a fighting/brawler game.

And I am specifically referring to people who switched to MK solely for the purpose of winning. They didn't care if MK was their actual favorite character, just he was broken. Or maybe they liked him BECAUSE he was broken. But no one will ever admit this.

Hello gents,

My name is Joel and I play brawl competitively. I am not new to smashboards but I am new to the Houston smash thread/scene. I won't be making the top 10 lists anywhere but I bring good competition. I have recently moved back to Houston and have scrounged up enough free time to be able to get back into the ssb scene (especially with 4 coming up!).

Are there any groups holding smash fests on a regular basis? I would like to meet people and become a part of any regular group plays (although I work offshore so my attendance would be sporadic).

My number is 281-468-2587 so feel free to text me.

Try getting ahold of sync, as far as I know, the people living there are the only ones that touch brawl anymore.


Also

six more years!

 

[Xyro77]

Yeah Joel, I host tournaments here in Houston and Sync does smash fests. Are you free next weekend? We could meet up over there are smash.



Zano, I will not allow another 6 years.

Zano, thanks for the tip. I realize that the current smash trend is melee and project M, but I didn't realize it has practically replaced brawl. I was introduced into smash bros around the time of the brawl release so my melee skills are laughable and considering the number of hours I have dedicated to brawl, I don't think I could reach a competitive level with melee any time soon

Xyro, thanks for reaching out and offering! My weekends are almost always occupied, such as this weekend :-/ My week day evenings are almost always free though.
On what day of the week does sync typically hold one? Are you only free during the weekends?

 

[iamjoel5]

By the way, I stay around the Galleria area and I don't mind driving.

 

[ZeroRebellion10]

So, is anyone going to Delta H Con this weekend? There's a SSB Brawl tournament going on there.

So, is anyone going to Delta H Con this weekend? There's a SSB Brawl tournament going on there.

Where is it? Info?

 

[The Real Marzbar]

Delta H Con has a fb page i would link, but it's easy enough to find, and on their website under console gaming you can see the different tournaments they are hosting.

Delta H is a pretty small con though, so I would expect most of the entrants to be people who play casual brawl.

 

[ZeroRebellion10]

The specifics are that there is one today and two tomorrow.

Today's tournament starts at 6 pm, $5 per entry.

Tomorrow's tournaments start at 12 pm and 6pm respectively, with he entry fee being $10 this time.

I'd link it, but apparently I need to post more in order to do so. -_-"

 

[ZeroRebellion10]

Hold on a sec..

 

[ZeroRebellion10]

Here ya go: http://www.deltahcon.com/

 

[Xyro77]

I'm working so I can't attend either. It's sad that I've never heard of these dudes and they have been in Houston for a while.

I'll contact them later on and see if I can work with them in the future.

 

[iamjoel5]

To add to Zero's info, here is the brawl tourney info for Delta H Con:

1v1 double elimination. Cash prize 1st through 3rd based on tournament entrance.
Fri - 6pm - $5 entry
Sat - 12pm AND 6pm - $10 entry

It's at the J. W. Marriott:
5150 Westheimer Rd, 77056

 

[ZeroRebellion10]

Cool. I'll be going tomorrow since there's more tournaments.

And I guess I must've messed up on the money entries then if what you posted is correct, joe.

 

[iamjoel5]

I got that info directly from the site under "event search" > "Nintendo events". I won't be able to make it Sat but I will try to make it tonight.

And I guess I must've messed up on the money entries then if what you posted is correct, joe.

Edit: Zero, you did not mess up the entry fee, I did; I read the schedule wrong. I have updated the schedule above.

 

[iamjoel5]

Can you bring your own remote to these or must you use their remotes?

 

[RT]

Tournaments in general are BYOC.

It's always a good idea to bring your own.

 

[iamjoel5]

Tournaments in general are BYOC.

Good to know. One tourney I went to would not let me use my own controller, even though the controller they provided to me wasn't working properly.

 

[RT]

Just always assume BYOC. Most tournaments run by the community will NOT provide a controller for you.

 

[z00ted]

I might go to that tomorrow and Sunday.
Joel, when you get back can you fill me in on how many entrants there were payout to top three?

Sync's place is usually open during the weekdays - you just gotta get in contact w/ him and notify him beforehand. I can message him on facebook if you want, although I doubt many people would be willingly open to play Brawl too often. Just depends on if they know you're coming or not I guess, there's plenty of people there who "play".

edit: nvm probably not gonna go venue is $35

 

[Zano]

u scared **** boi?

 

[z00ted]

lmfao pay for my entry and i'll show you how "scared" i am

 

[Xyro77]

He's scared

 

[Xyro77]

Illmatic, It is not required to pay the convention fee ($35) in order to participate in the tournament, I only needed to pay the tournament entry fee ($5 yesterday, $10 today).
There were about 12 players in the tournament and 1st place won $30. Considering today's tournament is $10 entry fee and they are expecting more people, the payout should be significantly better. The competition was good and there were also several casual players. It is worth mentioning that you were not allowed to use the same character twice during your best of 3 rounds against an opponent.

Edit: there is no tournament Sunday, there are 2 today.

 

[iamjoel5]

If you go to the tournament today, please refer people to this thread. Several of the guys I spoke with were not familiar with smashboards. I sent several of them links to here so we can have a central place to network with each other.

 

[Xyro77]

Yes please refer them here. More people for smash 4 is a great thing.

 

[Xyro77]

You can give them my number if you want. I run all the events in Houston.

[z00ted]

lol thanks for the info but it's a bit too late now
glad you had fun and there's potential new players, though

 

[Zano]

can't use the same character twice, wha?

who even...

 

[RT]

They don't want to experience the full glory of our hero, MK.

 

[Xyro77]

I've dealt with worse rules but yeah it's a good rule to stop MK

 

[The Real Marzbar]

@ Xyro77 Delta H Con is every year as is Anime Matsuri at the George R Brown which I think is the 2nd largest anime convention in Texas. I 'm almost positive they hosted smash tournaments there but you could always contact them to host there. Next year it'll be on April 3-5.

 

[Pachinkosam]

u scared **** boi?

 

[Xyro77]

Lol I wanna gif war now

How do you guys want to be moderated around here? I'm not exactly pitching a tent here for that purpose, as long as you aren't breaking content rules and you don't seem to care about thread quality being the dumps then I don't really care~

(I wanted to raise an eyebrow at the multi double posts but like cbf)

 

[Sinister Slush]

I'd like to mod
























For Smash 4 Yoshi boards.

I don't understand the question. Could you clarify?

 

[RT]

Had some good games in MH3U yesterday, Xyro.

Shoutouts to S.Uragaan for carting you.

Was that GS user someone you know? Because he was being silly during Nibblesnarf, he knocked me down while I was fishing him out twice...the lack of Lvl 3 charge attacks made me sad too.
