Virginia Online Smash Tourney

[WillLi]

I was looking around to see how the tourney scene was for Virginia and noticed that northern VA has a few tourneies but there's nothing really in central or southern VA. I personally don't have any players I know that I can play easy above the casual level, and I'd love to play lots of skilled people. So to hit many birds with one stone I figured why not start an online tourney that's hosted maybe twice a month and open to all VA Smashers.

This is kinda an interest check, see who all would show up, the tourney is free of charge of course and the game is SmashU

Well, I'd be interested, despite my lack of skill. I actually prefer Sm4sh U to Melee, since 4 is a bit easier to pick up.

Awesome, and don't worry, I'm not that skilled either XD But this way we can gain some skill.

Although I do have to wonder, how will the tournament be set up? Double elimination or single? 1v1 or teams? Start time? ...I'm just stating my curiosity.

 

[WillLi]

Well right now this is an interest check. Once we get enough people we'll probably discuss that. Though it's probably going to be double elimination either way unless we get a huge amount of people and need to keep it from running too long.

 

[Macchiato]

WOW yay I'm interested

Alright so with us it's 3. Hoping to try to get 8 total before turning it into a tourney, so if any of you know some active smashers in VA point them this way. Worse come to worse though we can make a 'circle' so we at least have some players we can practice with with as little lag as possible.

I'm for practicing as a smaller group before we get a proper tournament. It's almost like a side event.

 

[Shrokatii]

It really depends for me, but I'd be interested.

 

[Narshen]

I'd certainly be down for some matches if nothing else =)

 

[WillLi]

Glad to have another on board.

Well I just saw the tag for this is "Wii U", when I only have 3DS. Would we do 3ds too?

I'm not the TO, but unless he lacks it I don't see why not.
Also, is Mewtwo going to be legal in this?

 

[WillLi]

I don't have the 3DS version, but if there are enough people I'd still organize a 3DS tourney. As for Mewtwo, I don't see why not to include him. We're online so it's not gonna be a ranked tourney, this is mostly just for the experience, and maybe it'll get even bigger over time.

Well we actually have tournies in sova every Friday. But an online tournament does sound interesting

I know there are some in some places in VA, but there isn't nearly enough for the number of smashers unless people want to travel like 1.5 hours+ on a weekly basis. And with tournies going so late that makes it difficult on some people.

Either way though glad to see some more VA support.

 

[TheKingWalnut]

I'd gladly take part on an online tournament, so if this becomes a thing I'll participate.

 

[WillLi]

Well we're still gathering people unfortunately. However you guys can use this thread to make some request for matches as well. Since we're all in VA shouldn't be any real lag issues.
