Official [QLD] Tournament & General Thread: Next Event - UQ Smash 15 - 19/12/15

[Sloth]

Yeah, crews only work if we have the numbers. I feel at play warehouse with space and TV's we could of easily of had a few 'friendly' only setups. - we just lacked extension cables.
I feel that having a friendly station or two would at least make people hang around more after they have lost rather than constantly giving up their friendly matches for tournament. This may mean we don't lose any numbers going into crews in the afternoon or teams if we decide to do it.

Only other way for crews to work would be to not switch them around so often. Like every tournament you form a new crew. You need to stick to that and train! BECOME POWERFUL AND CONQUER ALL. Or something like that.
Swiss system is good, but requires some good TO work. I do love it but I see it working only when you have 1 game going - not Brawl and Melee (unless you don't have people cross-playing). Would like to see someone try it out soon though and I feel it would maximize players abilities as it makes you play people around a similar level after a few rounds

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

Would have had an extra t.v as well but I didn't bring it cause had to leave early.

How big crews do we want? Dont come in sydney had 4 man crews and that was amazing.

maybe just have a couple set ups for brawl friendlies rather than a tourney. Having to pay venue and singles entry for a less than 10 man bracket seems a bit silleh

 

[Dino63]

The Puppie Vs J-Birds crew battles we had Saturday night after the tourney was pretty awesome and that was 4 vs 4

Maybe to incorporate more people, have a amateur 4 vs 4 crew battle and a 4vs 4 pro crew battle, more hype, more entrants without major skill differences

Maybe the grand finalist coach the amateur teams, then after the amateur crews are done, the big guys begin

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

We should be able to spread the players evenly enough to not require that, plus we probs don't have enough numbers for 2 separate brackets.

 

[Dino63]

We'll it's just an idea, it would require a 20+ turnout with people staying, but 6-8 person teams depending on whose left makes sense, gotta get the crews back, I want to beat Vyse again

 

[Sloth]

We should be able to spread the players evenly enough to not require that, plus we probs don't have enough numbers for 2 separate brackets.

That being said there are two types of crew battles

1. Show Cases - Such as GC vs Bris / QLD vs VIC etc... you could easily have amateur top 5 vs another team of amateur top 5. Show cases generally don't have a bracket but that makes them hype too. No second chances.
2. Tournament crews - so you go through a bracket in a 4v4 style situation.

I'd love to see a bit off both now and then. Just have to pick what is right for the tournament and numbers.

 

[D.J Cat]

Yeah lets not drop doubles.

The doubles at play warehouse were some of the best i have watched in a long time.
Normally I would get lunch after getting out but every match was so close and exciting I just couldn't leave.
Sloth and Radiance was great to watch.
And Puppy and the Rude Jigz.

I hope commentary can have a table/panel of commentators like we had at lansmash a few years ago.

And Saturday with just melee sounds like a good show at this stage.

 

[Mytus]

G$ appreciation crew vs Blue Crew

bring it

 

[smopup]

We need to make sure G actually turns up. That way we can play this as he enters the venue:

 

[Gords]

what internet were you guys using for the stream, and do you know roughly how much data you uploaded over the course of the day?

@ smopup omg the gravy train

 

[D.J Cat]

Does anyone have the doubles results from Saturday?
I didnt' see them in the results post.


Zac:
Is it time for un update to the power rankings?
The one on the first page is about a year old I think.

Also when is COK 2: Bigger, Longer and Uncut gonna be?

 

[smopup]

I think the doubles bracket was only added to the Facebook group. Here it is:

Pretty funny how grand finals essentially took place in round 2.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

not funny m8 dats just poor seeding by TO's

CoK is retired and not coming back, a sequel just wouldn't be able to live up to the original.

Melee PR:

3. Sloth
4. Haikal
5. J Birds

Also considering either removing dk64 from the doubles cp list OR adding poke floats, rainbow ride, brinstar, corneria and green greens because qld.

 

[Sloth]

As long as those maps don't somehow make themselves onto singles I am fine for the extra crazy in doubles. Could be fun!

 

[smopup]

Oh damn, I'm in my own tier. The ego boost continues.

The 3rd, 4th and 5th spots are all super close right now, imo. I'm not sure if I agree with Haikal in 5th though.

And boo-urns at Corneria and Green Greens for doubles. I'm slightly more okay with Poke Floats and Rainbow Ride though.

 

[Sloth]

I haven't even versed either Haikal or spups yet. My only tournament losses so far is twice to Zak and once to jbirds...

Edit: Even in friendlies. Although I never really care in friendlies - but we need to make sure we do if i go to lansmash~!

forgot to switch them lel

I thought the fox would be all over a chance for corneria?

 

[Remastered]

Am I updating the PR for melee in the OP, or are we going to discuss it?

From what I've seen, Kansho should be third, and in the same tier as S/pup. Remembering Kansho beat S/pup at the previous Play Warehouse.

You probably need another tourney to rank Sloth properly, so it might be worthwhile waiting until after Lansmash.

 

[Radiance]

Next tournament I predict slight chaos

shh

you

shhh

It was already discussed by the people who need to discuss it.

Next tourney I can see Bryce topping Gerard. He's almost back to his more consistent self and he's already progressed passed Gerard in the fox v marth matchup in the space of a couple weeks. Poor Gerard still where he was 2 years ago..

 

[S.D]

Bryce's patented camp the top platform trick still works then?

It's starting to sound like my own tier isn't warranted. My life is a lie.

Zac play more Marth in friendlies so I can catch up pls.

 

[J-Birds]

yo **** top platform
bryce hangs onto that like a sloth on a tree
im a genius kthx

 

[smopup]

Jbirds why did you choose Marth in that set? I was wondering about that all day but I forgot to ask.

 

[toki]

 

[KuroganeHammer]

@ toki come to lansmash

 

[Sloth]

Bryce's patented camp the top platform trick still works then?

It never stopped working!
I spent so long on the ground as a Ice Climber player I just can't help myself jumping around on platforms

yo **** top platform
bryce hangs onto that like a sloth on a tree
im a genius kthx

Best ever.

I feel so much pressure that I have to perform at lansmash now. Sheesh! Oh well, I'll see how my hungover self goes.

 

[toki]

@ toki come to lansmash

Will do if I don't have work.
Sorry I couldn't make it to this. As well for my imaginary replies i sent you. My laptop braking down, work, assignments, house duty etc i just didn't have time.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

Zac play more Marth in friendlies so I can catch up pls.

But you get so sad when I use marth too much..

 

[smopup]

But you get so sad when I use marth too much..

You're confusing Marth with Roy m8

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

m8 u get sad no matter who I play.

 

[smopup]

I might feel a little deflated whenever I get gimped at 30%, but I don't get sad, lol. I want to get better against your Marth.

So I can bop it.

Because it's scrubby.

2-0'd Bob at PW2, place me in C tier already!

 

[D.J Cat]

Saturday Night Meet from 8:30pm till late 30.

New people, where you at!?
Let us know if your coming.
Last time no one came at all.
I Imagine the timing isn't perfect for everyone but its better than nothing.

We will probably have a BBQ as well.
Bring food if you want something, and we can send a few sausages your way, otherwise we are just cooking enough for ourselves.
PM me or Dino if you don't have our adress.

Insert Big **** reference here.

 

[J-Birds]

2-0'd Bob at PW2, place me in C tier already!

beat gords in a hype manor
have a good team name

only then can you obtain c tier

 

[Dino63]

It's not a pro Qld player without a ridiculous yet hilarious team name, plus you would need a good win ratio against the other 3 in the tier, but that's just my opinion.
in other news, got a mid semester exam at 8:30am the day of lansmash, I'll begin preparing johns in advance

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

Was thinkong of putting u 10th bro, but d.j has been more consistent and overall just better at this stage.

2-0'ing a ganon with sheik ONCE aint much to go on

 

[J-Birds]

Maybe when you can beat my Monkey like Bob can (innuendosomewherethere)

 

[Dino63]

When he can spank your monkey, J Birds, that's what you are looking for

 

[Tranquility]

I like how Bob constantly kicks my ass yet I'm somehow 1 ahead of him on the PR.

Also I'll 100% be at the meet on Saturday
