Atlantic North [Sep 11, 2015] The Break Smash Bi-Weekly! FRIDAYS (Melee) (Dunellen, NJ)

[Crossie]

This is late to be asking, but my plans for getting there aren't going to work out. Any way anyone could give me a ride? I'm at Rutgers.

It probably is too late but I know that internet explorer and some other guys carpool from Rutgers to this tourney. If you could by chance find them then you could ask for a ride (maybe leave a message on his profile). Otherwise public transportation should be possible.

Also, new carpeting hype!

Yeah, they were the plan that didn't work out. Car's full. Public transportation would be fine, but it's 4 train tickets to get there and back and I'm poor. But yeah, that new carpeting hype. I can't miss that, definitely need to find a ride.

 

[Mariomaruf]

Well how about this. It's only a 15 minute ride so why don't they just go back and pick you up? it's 30 minutes to do that and another 30 minutes to take the extra trip to drop you off. I'm sure if you gave the driver a decent amount of money (maybe the amount you'd ordinarily pay for the trains) he'd find it worth his while plus he gets to help out a smasher. There are also plenty of nice smashers there who may be wiling to help you get home, especially if Rutgers is on their own way home.

Or use M2K trunk strats

 

[Crossie]

I don't have a decent amount of money. But

Didn't work out. So if anyone else sees this, still looking for a ride. I'll pay anyone who takes me's entrance fee.

is this thing still happening on march 21? also if so, is there any parking near the venue and how much would it cost? Is there any fee to participate?

It is.
You can park right in front of the venue more or less.
There is no venue fee but it costs $10 to enter the tournament. If you just want to play friendlies/hang around it's free.

 

[CatcherAndTheRai]

Awesome! Me and my two friends are definitely showing up! :D

 

[Mariomaruf]

Cool, always great to see new players. Make sure you bring 4 dollars for the cheese steak special there. Good luck!

 

[CatcherAndTheRai]

Ooo I really like food! haha :3 Also, my friend is wondering what kind of skill level these players are at?

 

[CatcherAndTheRai]

Scratch that^^ would the next biweekly tourney be on the 4th of april?

 

[Babbler2000]

The next biweekly is on Mar 21st.

 

[Mariomaruf]

The next biweekly is on Mar 21st.

He meant NEXT next. In which case, yes, April 4th barring any complications.

We don't exactly encourage just coming to hang and play friendlies. There isn't exactly a plethora of space. A free venue fee should encourage entering the tourney and not be taken advantage of since it's very generous.

 

[Mariomaruf]

True. Ideally everyone comes with the intent to enter and make use of the facilities there to support the venue.

Rankings have been updated to include bi-weekly #10...

http://smashboards.com/rankings/the-break-smash-bi-weekly.5/league

I've also changed the age-limit of the league to 4 months over 5 events. So if we get 8-9 events in a 4 month period, that means you need to attend at least 5 of those events to optimize your rankings.

 

[Jaxel]

It looks like @ Dan Salvato is not going to be able to make it tomorrow... so can people please remember to bring consoles and/or TVs, just in case we need them?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Jaxel]

We're now live! Hopefully we wont have internet issues this week... but I doubt it. Optimum Online sucks.

Next tournament is on April 4! Hope to see you guys there!

 

[Crazc]

I could probably come to one of these eventually, but it would have to be after school stops. That three hour drive from Maryland is just one hour too long.

 

[Crazc]

could I get a calendar or something that lists the days this is happening? I know its bi-weekly but this would be easier to use quickly

 

[Jaxel]

Would anyone object to me pushing this next bitterly back a week to April 11?

 

[Mariomaruf]

Personally I wouldn't like that, but it is your tournament. Go for it.

 

[Jaxel]

Well I wont be able to show up till around 7 to 7:30... so unless someone wouldn't mind showing up at 6 to start helping direct setup, everything is going to run behind.

• Chairs
• TVs (make sure the Widescreen TV is in the right spot)
• Power

 

[Jaxel]

Oh well... I guess we'll keep it April 4.

 

[Jaxel]

I've been trying to get the Smash community to switch to LCDs for years now. I've even run tournaments on them in the past and had top players say they couldn't notice a difference. It seems the Smash community is starting to open up to the idea. This Friday, wanna try running the stream station on LCD?

I would recommend using an LCD for a casual station or something initially and see if people are cool with it before implementing it in the actual bracket. Just my 2 cents...

 

[The Irish Mafia]

I'll try to make it this week!

 

[*chess*]

Is this going on tomorrow I would drive out to get some new competition, anyone good confirmed?? Would be a waste of time and money if there's no notable players

 

[The Irish Mafia]

did you not see the irish mafia just say he was going?

 

[LLDL]

There are a lot of good players going. Show up to find out

 

[*chess*]

Already confirmed for empire weekly sorry guys will show up and beat yall another time. would like to talk tp mafia and take some peach notes doe

 

[Jaxel]

Testing some stream stuff out... check out the quality... http://www.hitbox.tv/8wayrun

 

[Mariomaruf]

Whether or not top players can notice a difference is a subjective measure of the lag, but there was that one MIOM article recently that makes a pretty compelling case for high quality LCD monitors regardless. I'd imagine there's a lot of other good research out there that compels you to want to make this change and not just the feedback of some players, and if so I'd be interested in seeing it. Overall, from my personal experience (lol) I'd be in favor of LCD monitors.
