how did the one on saturday go? I saw the venue on GSC and wanted to check it out, but I had work.

single elim. singles tourney with 9 entrants

 

[Delphiki]

If the rules get set to standard then I'll start going to these.

single elim. singles tourney with 9 entrants

bigger than our turnout xD!

well anyways their "stats" recording looks a bit flawed. timed victory shouldn't be taken into account, because certain matchups are faster than others. compare fox vs falco to peach vs samus... something like that. other than that, looks cool xD and any tournament is a good weekend getaway for me.

 

[NintendoKing]

FTW at these things. It's been 2 weeks since i've smashed.

Hey everyone this is yet another tourney around Sac this weekend (2/24). So we've got this, Park's tourney, and Bootle's tourney on Saturday, then Yuba on Sunday. 0_o

edit: I've sent a very long and detailed email outlining the advantages of changing the rulesets to match SBW/NCB rules and also gave a bit of an advertisement for Tia and Tio. Hopefully they will take my advice and change the rulesets and we will then have 2 sets of biweeklies in Rancho!

*Note - the tournaments are already double elim, no items, 4 stock 8 min, but they don't say what stages are allowable, and there are no counterpicks, and each round is 1 match. I hope they'll change that.

 

[Delphiki]

Okay I'll be going to this. Tomi-X might too, and hopefully DRGN. Nova FTW.

EDIT: THIS SUCKS!!!! CANCELED!!!!

[Simna ibn Sind]

Updated. I got info from the TAG group.

 

[Delphiki]

That cancellation sucked. I found out Friday . Oh well, I'll be at this one for sure. Let's see if somebody can stop Nova from taking this. ^_^

 

[NintendoKing]

NK might feel like it.

 

[Delphiki]

New info on these...

I contacted one of the TOs regarding rules. He said the reason they can't do sets AND double elim is because they only have the venue til 5. However if a good amount of people start coming, they can split up the two events (they run HALO 2 tournaments before Smash) to different days, and they'll keep SSBM desynched from the SBWies. So, how does four tournaments a month sound for Rancho?

^_^

 

[NintendoKing]

Sounds bad. Too many tournies. Will cause people to short out on smash and it would dilude the amount of people going to each tourney.

 

[Delphiki]

Good point. Oh well we'll see what happens with Jon's tourneys.

 

[Delphiki]

Bumpity bump

Who's going to this on Saturday? Simna and I have both told them we would bring in more attendants. Don't make a me a liar.....*Batman scowl* *Colbert scowl*

 

[ender]

No me and simna are going to the modesto tourney.

 

[Delphiki]

Modesto is next week. This is on Saturday. 0_o

 

[Delphiki]

So is anyone going to take this tourney from me or what? ^_^ You know you're all scared of Nana.

 

[DRGN]

*raises hand*

 

[Delphiki]

Awesome. Civil got mad because I wouldn't give him cigarette money so I get to walk to this tomorrow.

 

[DRGN]

Well that was fun. Despite wimpy rules. It wasn't entirely their fault since they had a limited window to run the tournament in... Hopefully they'll be getting enough entrants so they'll be allotted more time for the next one. I look forward to these becoming better. ^_^

Well I got second. And i'm happy because I feel I learned some things about some of my tougher character match-ups. Also, I came fairly close to taking out Simna for first.

I didn't though. ^_^ The first match was a good one, and close. (I only needed to win one fight total; there wern't sets, but we had two fights since he was coming from loser's.) And the second wasn't exactly a 'traditional' match, it wasn't really a good match worthy of being a good finals fight OR learning anything from because we went to Green Greens which is of course pro-fox for multiple, obvious-and-therefore-not-worth-bothering-to-mention reasons. Which was dissapointing because not only would it have been a better finals match, but I think I had a decent shot at taking it otherwise. I don't know if Simna was going full strength, (if he wasn't then maybe he should've because he came a little too close to losing for comfort, and of course it would have been completely his own fault if he lost), but unless he suddenly revealed a previously-chillin' "full power" then it would've been an interesting fight.

 

[NintendoKing]

blah blah blah blah blah

 

[DRGN]

Lol, if your opinion is that I needlessly posted with little value then why did you do the same?

 

[Delphiki]

Next TAB is this Saturday! Any locals looking for some good matches with myself and possible other Novans should show up! Prizes are great - $50, $30, and $20 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!

Also....they take a picture of the three finalists. I say that all finalists should hit a pose as their character's taunt. It'd be just too good.

edit: Sorry all, looks like I most likely won't be coming to this. Have fun without me, hopefully one of you guys will take the prize for the Sac Community!

 

[Simna ibn Sind]

im not gonna make it either....who's taking the prize this time?

 

[Delphiki]

Hey Britton....next time any of us from the Community makes it to finals....we all have to do our character's taunt in the picture. It'd just be too good. Can imagine the last one? You, me, and DRGN - Ness, Ice Climbers, and CF. hahaahah

And I'm serious you guys have to do it.

 

[Tomi-X]

Hmm...I think I'll go to this if no one else is going...easy 50$.

EDIT: My taunt ***** all of yours. It'd be funny if Tyde or Catnip had to do a gay ballerina spin.

 

[tc1]

Well.. Ill come.. and so will anbu. ahahaz 30 4 a 4person team wtf ahahahahz.

kk.. O yea, SIMNA = GODLY thanx 4 da account

 

[Tomi-X]

Tomi-X takes this tournament. Mwahahaha.

1. Tomi-X
2. TC1
3. Catnip

After that I'm not entirely sure what goes on. I think DRGN tied for 5th with some random guy, and Anbu, Zero, and Ender are in there somewhere as well. It was funny watching this female Shiek player take it to Melvin.

 

[choknater]

congrats tomi

 

[Tomi-X]

Thx thx, tell Delphiki to get off his lazy *** and look in this thread for the results of this tourney.

 

[DRGN]

*Sighs; bows head in mournful defeat* ..I have failed...​

 

[NintendoKing]

Womp womp womp

 

[tc1]

2nd plce FTW

 

[NintendoKing]

It's not first FTW!?

 

[Delphiki]

So did you guys taunt? I bet you didn't. Losers.

 

[choknater]

....... ftw FTW!

 

[Delphiki]

Oh yeah, no tournament on 4/07 because of Easter.

 

[tc1]

WOW tom.. lol luck

 

[Tomi-X]

Bumpage FTW.
