[Coffeeblack]

anyone wanna mm at the next anc? $1, $2, $5, whatever.

*no ryans, davids, imadhs, or bernards allowed

im down for this

i think that when you focus on one character, you start to take more and more for granted with them, you automatically understand things like their range and priority without having to pay any attention to them. that's good, 'cause then you can use that character as a tool to learn deeper, more general things about the game, like positioning and edgeguarding and techchasing.

I agree with this. I had trouble picking between peach and falco before especially with weird MUs but eventually i just decided falco and i feel much more comfortable, etc. I still like peach though.. was playing her last week and hella fun :D.

 

[Engo]

im down for this

Same here, $1 or $2. That's regarding Sanuzi's post, his quote didn't show up in the quote that I quoted lol

Let's try to get 30+ attendance at this next one. Everyone needs to make it and practice for Impulse.

haha yeah im so pumped for Impulse. And I'm glad that they're dividing it into pro brackets and amateur brackets. Now I actually stand a very slight chance in the amateur brackets lol.

 

[weon - X]

i'll do it josh :D

Does that mean people who win in the amateur bracket go to the pro bracket? Or are amateurs omitted from the regular bracket?

edit: Nevermind, I was thinking in terms of pools, I guess the lower seeds go to their own bracket then.

From what I understand, it looks like the top seeds from each pool go on to the pro brackets and the next few seeds go to the amateur brackets. The number of seeds that go to each bracket from each pool will obviously depend on the overall number of attendees.

As long as I don't end up in the pro bracket (which I'm sure I won't unless the pros purposely play bad so they can go to the amateur bracket and make ez money) I'll be happy.

 

[Bing]

Amateur Bracket is simply those who dont make it out of pools make the amateur bracket.

Also Josh, 2$


And you just got hustled by Camilo.

 

[Jethrotex]

I think all the prize money would go to the pro bracket, I mean, there's probably going to be a small prize for amateurs (we need to change that word, sounds kinda mean ) to prevent that from happening and stuff along the lines of the amateur bracket being a courtesy when the pros should be rewarded with the prize money.

 

[Bing]

There will be a small prize for the amateur bracket lol

Like 60$ or something, nothing major.

 

[KrIsP!]

I dunno if any of you have read Scar's TO handbook but IMO amateur bracket is a great idea and I really wish I could come because of it...but any prize larger than than venue+entry kind of ruins it for anyone who makes into the pro bracket but not in the money.

 

[HammerTime]

Having amateur brackets is great because it encourages people of all skill levels to come out and participate.

But yeah, if the prize for winning amateur brackets is too high people will lose incentive to make it into the pro brackets. All I know is I'm not gonna be sandbagging either way.

 

[Bing]

I'm making pro bracket, just saying

2 things:

1. Regarding the amateur bracket, because I have gotten suggestions a couple of times from the A&C owners about it, I thought about doing it. I just needed to test run a few more tourneys due to (being close to) running out of time a lot with such a small turnout. Anyways, I think we are past that stage now so I will probably start running them in the tourney. I was thinking either we can do:

- The is no entry fee. The winner gets their singles entry fee back.
- $2 entry fee. Winner takes all. Or top 2 payout.
- $5 entry fee. Do either top 2 or top 3 payout

2. Due to Impulse being at the end of June, I was wondering if people will still be down to have a monthly earlier in June?

 

[weon - X]

the more tournament experience people get the better it is for them
entry fee or no entry fee are just details
gotta be careful with those sand baggers though hahaha.

 

[Jethrotex]

Yeah, I think there should still be an entry fee, it just makes it feel more tournament-esque.

Also I'd totally be down for a June tourney, it'll be a good warm up.

 

[Crooked Crow]

Ugh. I would feel like trash if someone asked me to join the amateur bracket. "You suck, but don't worry, you can play other bad people too!"

Better hope I make regular bracket. Yep.

 

[unknown522]

The only problem with free tourneys is that there is no incentive to play seriously. Even with low amounts for entry fees, the same thing can happen.

 

[Summonedfist]

nvm

and if there's no fee it'll never finish cuz ppl won't care to play

 

[Ministry]

anyone wanna mm at the next anc? $1, $2, $5, whatever.

*no ryans, davids, imadhs, or bernards allowed

il money match 50$ whatever sheik vs whatever u want. no metaknight

 

[Riddlebox]

Some interesting mms being tossed around `-`. Some rude awakenings are about to happen with all these people coming back...fun times.

 

[idea]

imo

1. $2 entry, 2nd place gets their $2 back
2. yes another monthly in june

 

[weon - X]

lol people play for different reasons. but yeah i never said to not include money. it was just a detail to see how much money the prize would be. with that said returning entry fee seems like not much at all. but the amateur bracket is a pretty cool idea the only bad thing is that it might take too long. but we can test it i guess

 

[Coffeeblack]

I'd be down for a june tourney. Its a good warm up for ppl who are going to impulse, and for ppl that can't make it to impulse (like me) it would be cool to still have a monthly

It could shouldn't take too long because it will be run at the same time as singles bracket. Also, the number of entrants shouldn't be too much because there won't be that many people not making it out of pools. Say we get 26 entrants again. That would only be roughly 10 entrants for amateur bracket

 

[Bing]

For amateur bracket I think the winner should get 15$ and 2nd gets 5$ no entry fee

Also I still want a June tournament, practice + I love seeing you guys

 

[ZaXXoR]

At the next tournament, if were doing pools or bracket or whatever and Im not Fox(I might go a bit Sheik but I doubt it) can someone hit me? please :D

I'll do it!


And can you put me down as a maybe for now Ryan, I gotta try and get the day off of work

I'm down for the June tourney before Impulse

The amateur brackets at the monthly sounds like a good idea, as long as people don't sandbag. It gives the newer players a reason to stick around even after they've been eliminated, and get a better understanding of the game by playing people at their skill level instead of getting pwned by the better players.

 

[Jethrotex]

Yeah, it would play out like those free doubles we did a while back.

 

[idea]

i'm gonna optimistically say that our 'amateur bracket' players care enough about the game to actually play their matches at a non-awful pace, and fight for their chance at glory, and $8.

i agree with this. If I was eliminated in pools I would be hella salty and so I'd love an amateur bracket lol

 

[Bing]

I wish we had an Amateur bracket Saturday. -_-

Also looks like I have to move my birthday party

 

[JPOBS]

Put me on the mother ****in attendence list.

Also, yea it's my last AnC in all probability so people should come and we can chill and say farewell and stuff. I'm still trying to go to zenith and styc3 tho.

[Bing]

Why Tristan are you leaving smash?

 

[unknown522]

I think he's going back to the Bahamas

 

[JPOBS]

Yes. Indeed.

 

[weon - X]

im hyped to see the amateur bracket gf's lol

 

[HammerTime]

You can add myself and The Pizz to the attendance list for the May monthly

 

[unknown522]
