SAM 1
San Antonio Monthly for Sm4sh WiiU
(graphic pending)

January 3rd, 2015. Doors open at noon. Please try and be there at noon because Doubles will start at promptly 1:00pm and there will be no sign ups then.

Ooples
7460 Callaghan Rd #410
San Antonio, TX 78229
(210) 370-3203

1:00pm | Smash WiiU Doubles
3:00pm | Smash WiiU Singles Pools
6:00pm | Smash WiiU Singles
11:30pm | Clean-Up
12:00am | Doors Close

Unless this event pushes 90+ entrants, there will be 8 pools with top3 advancing to bracket. In bracket, 1 seeds will have a bye and play the winner of 2 vs 3 seeds. I will bring together 1-2 people from each city/region for help on seeding for both pools and bracket. Pool leaders will be assigned.

If there is enough interest then we can have a redemption/amateur bracket for all remaining entrants.

​

Entry Fees:
Venue Fee: $5 (waived if you bring a full setup meaning tv, WiiU, disc with all characters and stages unlocked)
Smash WiiU Singles: $10
Smash WiiU Doubles: $10 ($20 per team)

​

Payouts:
1st: 45%
2nd: 20%
3rd: 15%
4th: 10%
5th: 5% (x2)

Ruleset will not be out until December.

$5 Venue fee will be waived to anyone who brings a full setup (TV, WiiU, and disc with all characters and stages unlocked).

In the next few months I will be purchasing a large amount of tv's so that we will always have setups, but that will take a little more time. Everybody please bring setups if possible!!! The more setups we have, the quicker the tourney will run and we can have more time for friendlies.

[Xyro77]

Pants have expanded.....

Houston will go to this......

Bye bye.......

 

[RT]

Fascinating...

 

[Sinister Slush]

It's time...

 

[UltimateRazer]

Houston vs SA actually seems like a hype thing to happen. WE WILL BE THERE!

 

[Espy Rose]

... Why is it hype?

 

[Suspect]

razer sees all scrubs as equals now since snake isnt in the game

 

[UltimateRazer]

Y'all seem stronger than Dallas atm or have more potential. Should be good matches hence hype unless you think we will destroy everyone.

 

[Paw]

I will destroy you razer.

 

[Espy Rose]

Megafox is the only good SA player tho. We're all trash.

 

[kj22]

Megafox is the only good SA player tho. We're all trash.

Santi's pretty good

 

[Geoberos]

Santi told me that he is garbage.

 

[Suspect]

Santi's pretty good

dont mind espy

 

[SnorlaxPie500]

I didn't know Santi played Smash4.

 

[Geoberos]

From the shadows he does. #leagueofshadows

 

[Pikabunz]

There should be 4v4's.

 

[Nike.]

So what kind of stagelist would you guys recommend now that its been a few weeks and tournies?

 

[Paw]

Neutral/Starter :

Battlefield
Final Destination
Smashville
Town and City
Lylat Cruise

Counter Pick:

Pokemon Stadium 2
Castle Siege
Delfino Plaza
Halberd
Kongo Jungle 64
Duck Hunt
Wuhu island (ehhh)

 

[Espy Rose]

I'd rather Siege and Lylat be swapped, and Wuhu taken out for Skyloft.

Also, doubles might be able to be more lenient with some stages that would probably be banned in singles.

 

[SnorlaxPie500]

I'm not sure if that is a big enough reason for Duck Hunt to be illegal, but I can definitely see newer players get caught by this. Hopefully it gets patched.

Lylat is a little janky but I think it is more neutral than Castle Siege. But that just be my bias showing against transformation stages.

I hate WuHu -_-

 

[RT]

I don't like the Duck Hunt stage. Too big and the dog is pretty disruptive when it lifts people.

And Wuhu Island can go either ways.

Otherwise, it seems okay.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I propose Woolly World still

 

[UltimateRazer]

I'm fine with Duck Hunt stage. The dog only has 2 spawn points and has a set pattern of when it comes up. It's a good CP. PS2 shouldn't be legal though. All the transformations minus the ground one messes stuff up.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Skyloft should definitely be a CP, it's basically delfino except each transformation lasts only 8 seconds.

 

[Espy Rose]

More like 4 seconds.
Nothing wrong with PS2.
Duck Hunt is not big.

 

[Teshie U]

Yoshis Island needs to be legal.

 

[Paw]

Tesh posts need to be illegal



Accept my stage list as the truth

I find the dog far worse of an obstacle than anything PS2 ever throws at you. At least you can react accordingly on PS2.

I've had many matches in friendlies where I am doing a combo and then SURPRISE, the dog lifts my opponent or me away and messes everything up. Yeah, you can predict where it will be, but the fact you have to potentially stop what you are doing just to address a temp platform for 2-3 seconds at 3(?) possible locations is kind of disruptive, especially one you cannot fall through (I think?). It would be the same as playing on FD while you are doing a combo and then SURPRISE a platform lifts you up and away and kills all your momentum.

And I stand by my too big statement, or maybe it has something to do with the camera. Some projectiles become hard to see because of it.

The dog isn't much of a surprise. It shows up right after you kill or miss the ducks. Pretty sure its smaller than FD on and off stage.

Pipes is a fine stage, but I won't get into that too much here.

Have you guys settled on a ruleset? Some of us are interested in going to this.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Nike will most likely call some of us to his place before New Years starts or before, Prolly not right now since Christmas is just around the corner.

 

[KoNfucius]

10$ is too rich for my blood.

 

[Pikabunz]

Pay top 8. There's going to be a lot of people at this.

 

[Sinister Slush]

How do you know.
You have your secret pokemon posse going to this

 

[Geoberos]

K Prime knows things.
K Prime brought us Megafox.
K Prime has a hoard of children that have been learning Smash and is going to release it all on us.
And they're all prodigies.

 

[Pikabunz]

I don't really know. lol

 

[RedGamer]

I'm probably gonna come to this, but only to watch megafox destroy everyone high level smash 4.

 

[Nike.]

I'll most likely pay out top8 unless this flops with attendence.

How does everyone feel about the counterpicks for this?

Neutral/Starter :
Battlefield
Final Destination (any version)
Smashville
Town and City
Lylat Cryuse

Counter Pick:
Pokemon Stadium 2
Castle Siege
Delfino Plaza
Halberd
SkyLoft
Kongo Jungle 64
Duck Hunt

 

[Sinister Slush]

That's pretty good except for one thing

















You spelled cruise wrong....

 

[Espy Rose]

FKLSJkldajsdklasjdjsl

Smash 4 Mario Circuit could work too, but otherwise it's an excellent list.

I know this is the first tournament of many so I'll be okay with it, but later on we should probably discuss Omega being separated based on formation.
