    Atlantic North [May 3, 2015] Smash Around Back - Melee, PM, & Wii U (Easton, PA)

    I'm sorry to say that Smash Around Back is over for the foreseeable future. I am talking with people about setting up a monthly local tournament. Once I get that worked out I'll post a link to the event on this forum for anyone interested.

    If I Can, You Can: A Journey To Start A Smash Scene

    So a smash scene = money tournaments. Personally I think the best way to start a scene is through old school smashfests. I have done that in Easton, PA and it has attracted many people from my area that just want to play Smash and get better without losing money all the time. In my experience...

    Discussing legal issues gets your thread shutdown?

    Thanks! I understand now.

    Discussing legal issues gets your thread shutdown?

    No offense taken. But describing the role of moderators doesn't answer my question. Moderators need a reason to tell people to stop talking. I'm asking for a clarification of smashboards policy. I'm not trying to debate or argue; I just want to know why this particular topic is taboo. And...

    Event - Apex 2015 Nintendo Involvement: Blessing or Curse?

    Yes, if Nintendo wanted to legitimize project m the creators would have to make some concessions. Some content would have to be removed or replaced. But then it becomes a choice of: keep making an illegal mod exactly the way you want while not profiting or make some changes for a legal version...

    Discussing legal issues gets your thread shutdown?

    Did you read my post? I'm not discussing legal issues surrounding Project M. I'm asking what is the smashboards policy that justifies locking threads that discuss legal issues. Saying you can't discuss a topic because "there's nothing to discuss" is not a fair answer to my question. And why...

    Discussing legal issues gets your thread shutdown?

    I know, I thought of that too. That's why I put the disclaimer at the top. (^_^)

    Discussing legal issues gets your thread shutdown?

    Since February 7, 2011, 8:47pm, 34.3333 seconds (give ore take a decimal). Or maybe right now. Does it really matter? It's an issue that some people obviously want to discuss, so what is the real reason to stop them from doing so. If you don't want a million threads on the topic than just point...

    Event - Apex 2015 Nintendo Involvement: Blessing or Curse?

    True, as it currently stands (a mod that goes through a backdoor loader) Nintendo can't acknowledge Project M. But they can release SSBB on the eShop, and then they could have Project M be DLC for it. Basically, if Nintendo wanted to acknowledge Project M, they would find a way to do it. I fear...

    Discussing legal issues gets your thread shutdown?

    *To be clear, this post has nothing to do with legal matters. Just Smashboads policy* I was going to post on a thread called "Roy and Mewtwo should removed from the game. If they are, then Nintendo can't C&D.", but the thread was locked from future posts. The reason the mod gave was: "Unless...

    Favorite Smasher?

    When it comes to PM, I love watching JewChains. Mostly because he's a fellow Squirtle main, and I learn a lot of what to do/not do from watching his matches. When it comes to Melee it's a tie between Armada (because I've mained Peach since 2002, and he's the one who proved how awesome she is)...

    Event - Apex 2015 Nintendo Involvement: Blessing or Curse?

    I say, if Nintendo wants to be a part of the smash community they need to play by our rules, and not the other way around. That means they need to find a way to be okay with Project M. Right now Nintendo is acting like a deadbeat dad who was absent for 10 years, comes back once they need to...

    Event - Apex 2015 Move Apex to Los Angeles in the future.

    Apex is a tournament run in the northeast, just because it's the biggest doesn't mean it should move. If you want the biggest smash tournament in Florida, Las Vegas, etc. then do one yourselves. There's no rule that Apex HAS to be the biggest. Also, weather happens wherever you go, yeah there...

    Event - Apex 2015 Apex, Nintendo, and Their Future With Project M

    My question is: Are the "benefits" of having Nintendo sponsor smash tournaments worth it? Sure it means some more money and a little more legitimacy, but the competitive smash community has grown and thrived without their support for over a decade. What is the big N doing for us that we should...
