we dont have enough good people to have draft crews, IMO

but I really do want to make that college crew battle happen. I dont know how good the cornell kids are so itll be a nice surprise.

Trying to convince the smashers at my school to come to this. If I succeed, college crews will happen

When has draft crews ever been about balance? Just choose the better players :)

look man im tryna save you some major embarassment here...=P

also, if this is gonna be a 1 day affair with 4 events theres only a slight possiblity of crews, and should that happen Id rather just have regional crews for brawl, and what ever you guys want for melee, but theres no way were going to be able to fit in more than once crew match per game. and the possiblity of even that is sheisty at best.

ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE SHOW UP LIKE TWO HOURS LATE, RIGHT GOGGLES?

:p

But yeah 4 events in one day takes a significant chunk of time, stuff like draft crews should be done the night before. I know Cura's planning to have a smashfest, we've packed 12 people in to his apartment with room to spare, so don't be afraid to hit that up.

Alright everyone here comes a post.

I was thinking how I wanted this tournament to be the one to really kickstart our region. Syracuse is the place to make it happen. Good venues and it's right in the middle. It's centralized location is the most ideal place for consistent tournaments. I want everyone to participate in spreading the word for this, I want you to PM anyone you know in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Troy, or any other city or town with smashers in NY that could have the capacity to come to this. There are other places I know names too, closer to the city that we can include in this. Phish-It and Sol and their old crew in Mahopac. There are others in new Paltz and Poughkipsie. Contact old people you can remember (Asylum, haven't seen him in a while? Silverspawn? N.O.W.? Kwan? N64? there are tons of names I personally can remember who I want to see coming to our events. There are lots of people who have names on the boards who don't post often that can come to events. lenca (steve) and gal and alexei are three awesome people I just met at jesse's place I see them post some but we need to stay in contact with everyone The new captain falcon 23 who has been on smashboards since 05 but never to a good tournament in the region? There are tons of people to find and dig up and keep in contact with.

I want everyone to do their part in connecting our community... I've tried ever since i joined to find smashers to play. I'd blows hours a day on google on every possible site that might give me leads, have had tons of screen names to pursue on aol and tons of possibles. And I've met one in my area, believe it or not, Majin, found him on Gfaqs, and he's awesome. You just really have to never give in to despair. Always look. Find friends.

If they're not big in to smash as much as other games (minh???) then get into the other game, enjoy both areas with them. This is how I learned 3rd strike, I played with a guy in Oswego who had gone to Evo's and had almost qualified for pro bracket but he missed ONE COMBO crouching medium to shoryuken... instead he did crouching medium into hadoken... not enough damage to kill, and lost =( But I learned 3s and it was awesome I love that game now...

Just extend friendship to those with interest.

This has to be the one in my opinion. To start 2010. To make our region strong in both games.

New York is a big *** state that really has to start relying on a dedicated topic for transportation issues... Carpooling is huge in NY, transportation is not ALWAYS an issue. Sometimes, granted, it is. But really people like Altarian (i haven't met you and you play brawl but man I appreciate what you're doing) and KoJ (although he's being an *** lately) are great assets in our community and if some people don't appreciate what you do, I certainly do.

if this tournament doesn't break 30 entrants for singles events then idk I'll be disappointed, but depending on who i see at this I may still have hope. Get noobs, friends, people with mild interested... get them interested, tell them don't go to win go to have fun, go to travel, go to be with friends, go to get experience.

Also, I had a dream last night that this was a massive *** tournament. There were literally two buildings with smashers in it, it was a weird *** dream because jesse teamed with a total random and I teamed with a friend from home (for some reason there were tons of ppl from my home town in it... hicks, chicks, my friends lol) and then Jeff (Tao, sama, my friend from oswego) and KoJ teamed and won lol just a weird dream

So guys come on... let's do this!

If anyone ever wants to play get at me, Cura I plan on keeping in touch with and the syracuse scene (erk beta) and I play at home with majin once in a while. Oswego I play with jeff but really it's not enough. We need consistent connections with eachother. I think syracuse and rochester have been great hubs for activity but the albany/troy area can be just as strong with old melee names like Kwan and N64 and I know Kip who competed in tournaments with PC Chris went to SUNY albany at some point. Someone try to contact downstate mahopac people and stuff...

Let's actually try to make this stuff big.

Shoutouts:

jesse- being the strongest player in the region imo... at times... i remember when i thought i was better than you for a long time. bc i beat you at that big tourny raynex showed to, but it was really lucky im glad the matches are only recorded on ****ty live stream. i also took games off neil that tournament... i blame brawl rusting on u guys. but man you're great and i wish we could play more. continue to be the best/get better.

neil- consistent *******... you're the best and how you can't be enthusiastic about the games or community beats me. seriously man. just friendly up to some people sometimes.

goggles- i am glad you stepped up and took a leadership role. but you need help man. there are lots of contacts you don't have still and I'll try to link some people up with you. i hope you find more enthusiasm in melee because even the biggest haters of brawl are giving it a chance to make our community better (myself)

cura- thanks for being in syracuse man lol it's about time a scene starts up there

jeff- we should play more chars to get better practice haha

majin- you should come to tournaments its mad fun and ppl will play SF2/4 with you for sure. minh is mad good too

foy- michael cody foy <3

hmmm and everyone else who is awesome you know who you are, I wish I could put into words shouts to everyone in the community but I can't. So this post is to all of you!

show me your moves *****es

Best one of those. No compliant or what not. Ive been trying to get kids from OoS to show up to tournaments, but they are about as lazy as us. We need to start trashtalking kids and calling them out.

Inui, jersey sucks at Melee and brawl.... WNY will stomp your **** off.

1. I talked to silverspawn, and hes coming to this, for I believe melee and brawl.

2. I stay forgetting about asylum.

3. Im pretty sure inui is banned from tournament threads because of all his trolling. Dispite that, people like malcolm, pierce, and ninjalink know that we would obliterate those jersey scrubs. anti, Shadow and cable from NYC know that we would mess them up too. and its also why chibo vex and smurf from PA wouldnt come out either.

4. ill talk to neil about any old school melee people that he knows that would come back like rick the samus beast. lol. i would say amanda too but shes in iraq atm. even tho I think a lot of them quit because they didnt like getting beat by all the new jacks..

5. this is why you have a friends list on swf, so you have a quick reference to all the people that you do or used to go to tournaments with so you can let them know about stuff like this.

6. I just text messaged lenca to ask off of work for the 30th for this tournament.

I've been trying pretty hard to kickstart the albany/troy scene, mostly for brawl because that's what I'm in to but if I find melee players I'm certainly going to try to chill with them and even though I'm horribad at melee I'd still play with them for sure.

I dunno how many people I'll be able to convince to make this tournament, but I met 3 kids at RPI and there's a couple others at another school nearby that I haven't gotten contact info for yet that play smash that I'm gonna be getting in touch with and trying to bring in to the tourney scene.

I love how much enthusiasm upstate NY is starting to get for smash. When I first started to get in to the community over the summer it seemed like nobody gave a ****. I remember the brawl finals between jesse and pikapika at the october buffalo tourney, they both sandbagged so hard cause they didn't really care about winning and it was a huge disappointment. Ever since then though, people have really started to get in to it and every tourney has been a ton of fun, even the 9 man oneida tourney lol. I can't wait for our community to get huge and we're pulling 50+ man tourneys and the competition is really strong!

I never said that I was the one that convinced him to go, all I said was that I talked to him, and he said he was going.

Hey are we gonna play Melee backroom ruleset? I recall Mana saying we should but I dont remember either Bry or Cura responding. The first post still has 6 stages in neutral so I don't think it was changed.

Also Bry, at the first Syracuse smash I remember you brought and sold pizza. Since were not at the same venue , is their any food places close by?

and I Liked the long *** post Mana, and Lol @ doing shoutouts before the tourney.

Is there any more housing available? I'm trying my best to bring a bunch of people from my school, but I doubt they will be convinced if there's no place to sleep!

There would probably be 2 to 5 more. I'm not sure if Cura is willing to house that many.

dudutsai do you have cura's aim? I dunno if he's even been using the internet while he's away but that's probably the best way to get in contact with him. I can give it to you if you need it. I hope you can convince them to come! I doubt housing will be an issue, Cura's place has a lot of unused floor if nobody else is able to house, lol

Yo. My friend and I (Spamus43, NightroGlycerine) are coming to this, and potentially bringing up to two others. For Melee, however, we're not into Brawl so much.

It really doesn't matter what game you're coming for, just that you're coming. :p
Are you bringing any setups?
Depends. I don't actually own a copy of Melee (LAWL) or a GC, but one of the friends who is tentatively coming has a Wii. Trouble is we have to break him away from his domineering girlfriend... who, likely for the betterment of mankind, should not come to this tournament at all.

Sooo yah, maybe. Still got a month to convince him.

i know two tants, and since the one that most people talk about is the one that runs tournaments in md/va I assumed thats who you were talking about, but for what its worth, the female tant is also bad. and something tells me theres one more tant i might be forgetting but Im really not sure about that.

@ the other bad ganon, PLEASE BRING YOUR DUDES GIRL TO THE TOURNAMENT. I PROMISE ITLL BE AWESOME.

1. I'm not THAT bad, and

2. GOOD GOD NO. This girl is one of the worst people ever. I don't want to ride in a car with her ever. Bringing her to this tournament would be like babysitting a demon! So she can't come, and she whips around our buddy (who's a decent player, Link-Fox-Jiggs generally).

TRUST ME. I just have to find a way to get her ditched for a day. We've been encouraging the two of them to break up for the better part of a year.

1. count me In for a tv a full melee set up and a full brawl setup.

2. Can you change the melee stage list in the OP? showing me a list of banned stages doesnt really help me if I dont have every stage in the game memorised.

3. dude, Im not kidding, ask bry and cura how amazing I am with girls at tournaments.
