*Pound* 4:: VGBootCamp Debut! Two days. Plank's sanity remaining: 50%

[NES n00b]

nes n00b teams?

good idea plank i love it

That can definitely be arranged.

 

[LLDL]

I just realized pound 3 was only a 32 man bracket. **** lol it's gonna be like 4 rounds of pools if enough people come. Lol nobody will make it out.

 

[Plairnkk]

it was 3 last time. it will probably be 3 again, but we will see. XD

 

[Handorin]

nes noob/scar will be so broken.

 

[hungrybox]

i love pools

i dont know why

 

[TheManaLord]

we need a 64 man bracket for this tournament

 

[Levitibus]

then I want the top 32 to ALL be best 3/5 sets with losers finals and GF 4/7. This is ONLY IF WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME.

Jon, any chance this stems from that convo we had at like the last Brawl tourny you went to, the Dojo I think. I brought up if you'd ever do 3/5 b4 Winners and Grand finals and make you told me that be an idea worth trying one day.

Just wondering if that chat influenced this XD

 

[PB&J]

i rather have 32 man bracket..i know many good people are coming..but pound 3 made me want to play so much better since all the death pools around

 

[Anth0ny]

3/5 for everything before finals would be awesome. I really hope that there's enough time for that.

And the 32 man bracket is going to be INSANITY considering how many quality players will be coming to this.

 

[ajp_anton]

I'm still wondering whether i should get to this via huge road trip from NYC with my boys in a van or just by plane since I've never been on a plane D:

Noob. After this tournament I've flown over 70 times =)

 

[The Irish Mafia]

NES noob and scar will be so hot

 

[CMONEY770]

I hope I can come to this tourny. Its gonna awesome as hell

 

[White_Mike]

Pools gets the nubs more macthes then they would otherwise if they were to get eliminated twice in a row so they're cool IMO, and makes for a more fair tourney.

Oh and I just thought I'd leave this awesome **** here.

[Heart Break Kid]

yea 3/5 sounds fine if we get enough time. And my pool was pretty beast..I dnt think it was as crazy as Alu's lol but it def was mad hard.

White Mike, go get a van. The car ride down to Pound 3 with me gmoney hazz reno and starz was mad fun.

 

[Lovage]

32 man bracket, and i'm gonna make it out suckas

 

[Zephynazo]

Scar/NES NooB - my favorite alrdy! Hope they do well! :D

 

[SwiftBass]

something like this should be done. I remember talk of it last year

[derfleurer]

32-man bracket would probably make things intense right off. If you do it (and I completely support the idea), best 3 of 5 for all sets in brackets would be awesome.

 

[Alex Strife]

People have to play their pool matches then.

Last time we had huge delays cause of regional crews and such. I think if we do all pools first 2 days than we have this.

 

[Anth0ny]

Hopefully pools will be done halfway through day 2 at the latest... leaving time for singles bracket on Sunday. If the 3/5 thing ends up happening, singles will probably leak into Monday, and it should hopefully still leave plenty of time for crews =D

 

[SmashMac]

Shiz and I perhaps.

 

[The Irish Mafia]

I agree with the 32 man bracket idea

 

[Alukard]

thats a crazy idea swift =D

i'm definitely going to do that at ROM as well ... i mean if people wouldn't mind ^_^

 

[Hylian]

Are you doing this for melee and brawl or just melee?

I suggest just melee. Maybe have top 16 or top 8 or something be 3/5 for brawl but not the whole bracket. Would take too long.

man 10 of those 32 was md/va

 

[strawhats]

I actually like this idea... Makes matches more fun to watch when the big names start to fight each other.

That means you Armada/M2K

 

[derfleurer]

If we do 32-man bracket, my only question is how we're gonna work out pools of like 12 people.

Getting a big Brawl tournament done with 2/3 is tough enough (COT4, Genesis), let alone having the bracket 3/5.

Imagine that

 

[ajp_anton]

32-man triple elimination bracket?

 

[The Irish Mafia]

Triple elimination?

sweeeeeet

 

[Plairnkk]

If we do 32-man bracket, my only question is how we're gonna work out pools of like 12 people.

pools wont be of like 12 people. XD

 

[PB&J]

3/5 is good it wont take long just make people do pools correctly and thats that

 

[The Irish Mafia]

tournament shouldn't take long at all with me plowing through the bracket

[saviorslegacy]

I might attend this event.

:EDIT:
What is the closest bus Grey Hound Bus stop?

hey, it's that guy that stole stealth's sheik on mk combo and named it after himself.

:EDIT:

.8 miles from the venue in downtown frederick

 

[saviorslegacy]

Uh what? I have never stole anything from Stealth.
The only combo I named after myself was a Sheik footstool combo. I wanted to call it Saltus but a couple of people (including <3) said that it should be named Savior.
So I named it the Savior Combo, but later changed it to Saltus just because I thought that naming something after yourself was dumb.


:EDIT:
Ooooooooh... I know what you are talking about now.
Leaf made a thread about the footstool combo and while everyone was talking about it Stealth made the post about it being an infinite.
I had already begun testing by then. However, when I did read it I decided to put his name in the special thanks because he has also had the idea.

Oh, #1 it is not an infinite and #2 it it does not work on MK
That and it is freakin hard to use in a match.
Well... except on ROB. If I fight a ROB I'm footstooling the *******.

.8 miles from the venue in downtown frederick

Coooool, if it is less than a Mile I can just walk to it! ^^

 

[Anth0ny]

Yeah dude Apex is the exception. Best Brawl tourney (and finals) ever

But even still, I don't think it would have finished on time if the entire bracket was 3/5. No Brawl tournament would finish on time with 3/5, unless the timer was set at 4 minutes or something

 

[derfleurer]

Than how would you do pools?
