He has a point.
Thing is that most people can't come to this. So I'm thinking we do mainly melee then brawl on the side.

Then for the next MM with more people do almost entirely brawl and consider melee.

Make sense?
no

theres like 4 people who can't go that've posted

stop hitting me, Ricky
Deal.

Do you play brawl?
Yes we can MM in brawl too if you want.

banks+th0rn aren't going either... wow, to be honest, i think this is gonna be lame. Mattdotstubborn, change the date.

or wait, better idea...

mm10 - July 12th

mm11 - July ??? :D
plz be silent

Does it have to be a wireless controller like a Wavebird or can I use my Wired GC Controller?

On a similar note, are reconfigured buttons (e.g. C-Stick Specials) banned? I use all the default settings, but it's just a curiosity.
you can use your wired controller, yes. also yes you can reconfigure your buttons in the game. you can't mess with the actual controller circuits tho.

I can't go either

Please run all Brawl this time... all Melee next time.


Edit -- And a lot of the people who go for Brawl haven't even posted in this thread. Why would you run only Melee? Brawl will still attract a huge crowd. Or maybe you could run a happy mix so everybody has a motive to come.

Or we could run exactly how we ran MM9 because idk it worked well? Don't be stupid and do all Melee and Brawl, split the events comfortably and then everyone is happy.

No mages can go, that alone should be incentive enough to change it since we usually run the tournament for you.

EDIT: Pat, I gotta agree. My opinion of game formats is currently

Melee Teams>>>Brawl Teams>Brawl Singles>Melee Singles

I agree with that except switch the last two. Brawl teams is actually the closest thing to melee in terms of fun for me. No camping, no gheyness, 2v2 struggle, etc. Its pretty ****. Please include Brawl doubles for this tourney.

Lies.
You guys did mm9 and one other mm.

The others (except the first 4) were me and elen. Then **** tom jumped up and occasionally helps.

Also kyu puff doesn't see my reasoning D:

It seems that less people are coming, more incentive to do melee because of a lower turnout.

How many of the absentees would only come for Brawl, though? If you hold Brawl, the turnout will be huge regardless. Brawl + Melee gives everyone an incentive to come, and most importantly lets me play Melee.

I know it's easier to run teams in a strictly Melee or strictly Brawl tournaments, but it also transforms into two completely different events.

Sorry, I didn't feel like reading all the posts to figure this out but are we doing Brawl and Melee singles?

If so someone needs to come over to play some melee w/ me. LOL

If were doing SSBB teams I need a teammate.


I like the title name of this Mass Madness.

I would be surprised if as many people show up as last time.

I'm not on that list. I said I could go. So how many of these people said they could go?

I say melee, and then hold another one for the people who can't go more focused on brawl, or whatever makes them happy.

How about running melee and brawl singles at the same time? We easily had enough tv's last time to do this without a problem. If we need another CPU to do two brackets at once, I'm sure we could bring one. Yeah, I realize this means that players would have to choose between melee and brawl singles, but wouldn't most people prefer this option? In fact, maybe we could run melee and brawl doubles at the same time too.

Just a possibility to throw out there. I'm not saying its the best idea per say, but hey, it's an option.

Just do it like last time. There were no problems last time and it was run very well. But I do like the idea of having another MM a lot sooner to this one =D Mass Madness is always good for your health.

Except that the GU staff realized how potentially easy it is for someone to steal a Wii.

That reminds me are they setting up precautions to avoid that in the future?

Holding a melee tournament when most of the melee-centric people aren't going to show doesn't make sense. Not holding a brawl tournament because there might be a lesser turnout doesn't make sense. Run brawl singles first thing, and then run brawl doubles alongside melee singles, so people can play in both melee and brawl singles. Run melee doubles and/or crews after that, and done. Avoid leaving a gap between brawl singles and doubles (IE take signups for both at the same time, and do a last call for doubles with the melee signups). This should minimize downtime, and allow for some sort of legitimate food break.

Also, people who have consoles should have to put their names on it with tape and whatnot, and tell the staff what TV it's on, and tell the staff when they leave. That way, if Wii's go missing, it should be easier to track down who has it, since the Wii will have been accounted for the whole time. All Wii's should also have Wiimotes brought with them, so it isn't such a pain to set up, and there's no confusion while doing so (IMO, what led to Wiiasco 2008).

Shit.
Stop your bitching new england.

Shit, I was ******* around. The first post to every MM has told you all you need to know about the tournament.
Fuck.

YOU HAVE BEEN TROLLED
Now shut the fuck up about this. You guys honestly think I'd be that stupid? Christ!

I love smash D: People started getting torn over this... Man, Mass isn't immune to brawl vs melee is it? Depressing, very depressing..

Anyway the next mass madness after this is august 9th. I've talked to Jamie about it. The topic will be made probably at the start of next month...




Drk Peach, I'll house you if nobody else can do it.

So, its going to be like last MassMadness right? In that case I need to play some melee. How about I come over the day after tomorrow? Hopefully, you might be working early so when I arrive I can come by and order something from wendys lol.

That don't you mean "your" and not "you're"? Clearly we shouldn't listen to you.

Continue bickering everyone!
Your Zetta Slow!! jk

Dang, Matt owned everyone.
And I own Matt. I think this means something...


_____

Oh and the more MassMadnesses the better. If we skipped this one we would probably be skipping a month of mass madness so this tournament works out I think. If you can't make this one just make the next one.
