San Antonio Smash 4 Thread

[Sinister Slush]

If you watched the video I linked it makes a very good point cause 5 minutes makes people wanna play a lot more careful.
Also it was Rosalina intending to timeout everyone on purpose.

Also also, they have 2 now and league matches can last from 25 mins-1 hour+, tomorrow is H2K vs Fnatic and I think C9 vs Liquid then next day is SK vs UOL and TIP vs TSM.
Smash matches at worst in a bo5 people wanting to time each other out every single set would be (7 mins for now) 30-35 if one of em doesn't go to time, adding in the time to pick and ban a stage would be another 10 or so seconds maybe.

Dunno, if we can finish a 26 man tournament (49 matches) in less than 4 hours and have time to have fun matches and almost an hour to spare (not even counting others like 55 entrant weekly) we can prolly do Bo5 sets with 18 matches.
Granted we use 10 or so set ups, guess 2 is a bit much but that's still 2 matches happening at the same time. Also Beros resolved his laptop issue I believe judging from his FB post.

 

[Geoberos]

Yeah my brother got it up and running again -- my USB port was shorting out, so as long I don't plug anything in that port, I shouldn't have to worry about it dying on me. Got 3 other to use thankfully.

 

[HeroMystic]

If it's starting at 7PM that leaves us 3 hours to finish Top 10 Finals.

I need to know how the format is going to work if that's the case. Is it just a regular bracket? If so, Bo3 is fine because there'll be a loser's bracket and we're only counting on two set-ups. Two set-ups will make this go really slow tbh.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I forgot the 7 PM start, though technically it's only 30 mins or 20 mins from when we usually start.
We started bracket yesterday around 6:45

 

[Nike.]

It's not the end of the world if it runs past 10pm, but 11pm would definitely be pushing it.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Maybe loser's round 4 and Winners Semis when we start best of 5? Cause once you get past 7th/9th place the money gets bigger.

 

[SanAntonioSmasher]

Anyone available to play online or in person today? I could drive. I got the day off

 

[BeefKek]

I might show up to the Weekly next week, I will have Mewtwo as well and possibly a full set up.

 

[GspotJackson]

I'm okay with the rules as it is now. Although 2 bans, and duck hunt being a starter stage seems to be a productive change of pace.

 

[HarvstootH]

We must have the Mewtwo. I'm going to no life him all Wednesday.

 

[HeroMystic]

Oh, as for rules, we absolutely need to bump the timer to 8 minutes.

And please please please two bans.

 

[Suspect]

Im going to vegas next week

 

[ProofByContrapositive]

All the sky loft haters in here. Skyloft and Kongo are great. Duck hunt is trash.
Why is halberd still legal in 2015? That's the worst stage.

 

[HarvstootH]

YES! THANK YOU! Finally, someone who agrees with me!

 

[ProofByContrapositive]

I bet my loss to Sylveon will keep me out of the Top 10 even though I got an upset vs Paw.

Have you beaten anyone else in top 10? I've never gotten to watch your matches.

Sylveon we need to play next week to settle the score.

The usual things people are saying is ban halberd and Lylat.
Though I don't agree with the stages they're suggesting like Gamer Kalos or Garden of Hope.

A decent replacement if we get rid of halberd can be wuhu if we have to have a certain number or stages.

Gotten close to beating Santi and K Prime but no. Incendiary and I are pretty even but he tends to win. This is pretty recent development.

Lol those three stages are wacky. That mother,dragon, and crab always kill me on those stages.
I always use my ban for Halbert because holy balls that's a bad stage. I'm cool with wuhu because I like big stages but isn't there a glitch on there or something?

 

[Sinister Slush]

It involves characters that can dthrow and throw them into the floor, Ness and pika afaik against some random characters.

 

[Espy Rose]

**** everyone else in this thread. 13 stages, 3 bans. Simple as that.

 

[Espy Rose]

Nike the TIO file was corrupt. You suck at emailing Tio files.

 

[Geoberos]

I'm going to warrant a guess to a potential diagnosis -- are y'all both using the same version/update of TIO? Maybe they save the file differently and is no longer reverse compatible.

Edit: Also I will be slow on the editing / upload. My KMMORPG senses are kicking in with the return of a beat'em up that was abandoned by a distributor and was recently revived by its own creator as open beta.

 

[Espy Rose]

No. Cass has sent the file several times and it's worked just fine.

[Suspect]

Oh yeah. I'm moving into a new apartment when I get back from Vegas at the end of this month and might need help. I'll pay. Won't take but a couple hours max.

People with no job gets priority.

 

[HeroMystic]

Looks like I gotta stay in Winner's if I wanna steal the #10 spot.

Now to decide if I wanna go tryhard or just say **** it and go Samus.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Think you're like 29 points away from Castro so you'd need a top 4 upset, maybe two of em honestly.

With next week being the last one this post gonna have a bit more stuff in it based on people that qualify for the finals

Ranking | Tag | Points | Gain/Loss (Rank) | Tournaments Attended
1st | Megafox | 1980-2001 | +21 ( = ) | 11
2nd | Santi | 1800-1800 | = ( = ) | 9
3rd | K Prime | 1775-1785 | +10 ( +1 ) | 9
4th | Espy | 1783-1783 | = ( -1 ) | 7
5th | Slush | 1714-1729 | +15 ( +1 ) | 8
6th | Paw | 1727-1716 | -11 ( -1 ) | 12
7th | Sylveon / Incendiary | 1697-1708 / 1704-1708 | +11 ( +4 ) / +4 ( = ) | 9/13 ( PERFECT )
9th | Jopan | 1703-1703 | = ( -1 ) | 12
10th | Castro | 1698-1698 | = ( -1 ) | 12

So looking at this, Megafox is definitely sealed even if he gave two free wins right off the bat to anyone.
Santi can still possibly drop if he doesn't go and if Prime + Espy go to get enough points.
Espy and Prime barely two points apart so they kinda fightin' for 3rd/4th and 2nd is Santi doesn't go or does well.
I can still possibly drop to Paw while Paw can still possibly drop to Sylveon/Incendiary
Next week will be huge and the decided factor for most likely the 6th-10th spots.

For what the bracket looks like right now,

Good luck to everyone next week, see y'all when Mewtwo is in and Diddy Sheik and friends are nerfed prolly.

 

[Nike.]

Shouldn't Aria be in the rankings by now?

 

[Sinister Slush]

I think 13 was his first weekly, he just been going to most of the WINGS

 

[HeroMystic]

He went to two weeklies.

 

[Suspect]

Mario with the american flag costume. Tag name "Murikkka"

yes

 

[Paw]

Well i cant make the next weekly. Hope everyone passes me

 

[SnorlaxPie500]

If bracket stays the same and Castro makes it to round 2... Oh lawd. Our last two sets have gone to last game and gone to time. Upset alert *

Imma crush you. Maybe. What is the likely hood of Valdens or heromystic getting enough points to knock me out of #10? I think the most I've gained at one event is like 10 points.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Valdens can't make it and tbh the last two weekly's a lot of points are actually being given out oddly enough. Maybe HM can surpass you if he does very well and you don't.

 

[FRiSKruns]

^ What they said.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I couldn't tell cause it hasn't been updated in 2 weeks.

 

[Paw]

is anyone planning a carpool to the austin monthly on the 18th? i have the weekend off and would be interested in going

 

[HeroMystic]

If there's a carpool, count me in.

 

[kj22]

If there's a carpool, count me in.

we need to play sometime
