A smash club at your school!! (updated, read pg. 24, #356)

[FireBomb]

The noob factor is always a problem, but what can you do? They'll always be there unless you cut them off from the start.
The tech teacher would be a wise choice for an advisor. My friends have this cool teacher who they say he would likely support something like a Smash Club. His name is Mr. Huynh (pronoucned exactly like "win"). There is always at least one teacher who would be willing to do something like that. At least, that's how it is here for me.

Yeah, for the Huynh! FTH!

 

[snake gravy]

there is one every cycle at my highschool, every 7 days during 6th period on the "F" day

there are some pretty good smashers there and the usual who run there mouth constantly but still get their *** beat.

they have two tvs and cubes usually so the more serious people usually head over to one of the t-vs while those who just play everyonce in awhile and dont own a cube play on another one.

i really hate it when this one chump thinks hes hot **** because he and his friend always win at team battles. i wish i could play them but ever since me and my friend only lost one stock to them they kinda snub us during team chalenges

it seems like smash was just meant to be played in huge groups though thats why clubs work so well in my opinion.

 

[Shadow_I)ragoon]

Hey I go to vaudreuil school if anyone plays smash there i need to know so we can arrange something

 

[MDidget]

We were gonna do one at my old school, but the project kinda died after i moved

 

[Chewbacca35]

My friend and I actually got one started. Our first meeting is Monday. We will eventally hold a Smash tourney.

 

[FireBomb]

The first tourney of my school year will be early November. There's no telling how good/bad it will be...

*Hey Chewy...if you want a nice banner, you can request a custom banner in the Artwork Emporium.

 

[iankobe]

SIgh. Unfortunately my smash club is still getting approved... The assistant principal takes forever to finish his paperwork.

All of my friends are all asking me the process.

 

[FireBomb]

We got a new principal, so I think we can sneak some things by him here and there...

It's all about timing and placement.

 

[iankobe]

lol, sounds like you are doing something bad...

 

[GONZLAMM]

i tried to have a smash tournament but my school said it was a form of gambling which is illegal in texas.

Relocate your school to an indian reservation

They're incorrect, completely wrong.

It's a tournament. You pay money to enter the tournament. The tournament is based solely on skill, with a minimum amount of luck involved. The prize is merely a cash prize. It's not as if you're "betting" on something, and hoping that it'll turn out that way. You have control over the outcome.

 

[HylianLord]

mmm, anyone have a high quality team match (preferably ken / isai) showing their teamwork...? (no i'm not trying to suck up, this is for the sake of a smash club)

we're going to give a presentation trying to convince them that SSBM is more than c-stick spamming.... (outsiders find it hard to believe) and that the game does require teamwork and such.

thanks in advance (assuming somebody helps ><)

It's hard getting through to the people to make a Smash club, and it's harder to deal with most of them once it's established. I'm not even part of the Game and Anime club but I still go to play..dunno if I'm breaking rules or not.
But I swear, every time I go in there, my IQ drops 3 points.

 

[iankobe]

I'd say that a tournament counts as a competition more than a gambling thing. It's like entering a basketball tournament. How in the world is that gambling? ...Unless you hope that there will be sucky bball players at the tournament...while you are not good at bball.

 

[crismas]

No smash club per say. However I met all my smashing buddies at the Anime club which also consists of gaming. Gotta say, I got into competitive smash that way too because my friends were eager to get better and so was I. We all meet in our local game room and constantly play smash, which in the long run has helped all of us out greatly. I had thought about making a smash or gaming club though before though.

Rofl, they're really that bad?

 

[UMBC Super Smasher]

UMBC has a smash club on facebook. We have on-campus tournaments and ladder competititons every now and then.

University of Maryland College Park really has a lot of stuff goin on, though. Here is the page talking about their ladder:

http://wam.umd.edu/~maddox/smash.html

I also know a lot of friends at Prince George's Community College that play prettymuch every day after school.

I just hang out in the gameroom at UMBC to pick up as much SSBM as possible.

 

[AznShadoW]

uhh well my cous school "lowell high" have a gamers club every friday, everyone plays like ds, or smash. and like 3:30pm -5:00pm was smash with ffa with banned stages+ 4stock 8time limit, and winner keep controler or every keeps if no one wanna play, and i go there like every friday, and silent spectre and myko goes there too , and at 5:01 2 girls plays phantasy star, and today silent spectre was playin with his memory card and his lvl 139 char ksing and geting lost =D

 

[FireBomb]

I was actually being nice in that description. Can't say how I really feel, because there's no telling how many of them might be reading this...

They know me so they'll know who I'm talking about......

 

[Bullfrog]

They wouldn't be here. If they came here, they'd KNOW something on smashing. They don't. >_>

 

[FireBomb]

If they ever came to SmashBoards, there would be soo much advanced stuff to cram into their puny insignificant minds that their head would explode and they would die.

........hmm...........

Hey, we should refer them!

 

[iankobe]

That's sad.

But that's what a smash club is for. Teach ppl the "advanced" techniques.

 

[FireBomb]

I guess...
They all play more than one game in the club, so they aren't going to focus on getting really good with only one game. When I think about their overall skill, I cry myself to sleep.

Lol, they play with Poke Floats on neutral, and items on very low? Items seem so weird to play with now that I haven't used them seriously in about 1+ years.

Oh, and bump.

 

[darkatma]

haha items O_o

darn i dunno if i can get one started, many ppl are averse to the whole idea "its too nerdy" etc -_- I guess i need good contentions and a good constitution and stuff lol.

 

[iankobe]

How in the world can a smash club be NERDY? That's stupid.

Well, if you really want to have a smash club at your school, try your best and find out how you can do it, and forget what ppl said. It only matters if you and your friends around you like it or not. Good luck =]

 

[darkatma]

lol yea.. just not best idea to start it this year. Maybe next year, then i wont be a stupid junior who has too many classes -_-
Lol, then ssbb will be out

 

[Miharu]

Lol. Try to get some senior or sophmore to be co-president with you, so they can handle the duties if the workload from your classes gets to be too much.

Our advisor told us that we couldn't have LAN parties unless it was a teacher workday or some ****, since she has a 5-month old daughter. So we've decided to hold a week-long tourney, or however long it takes to finish, during lunches. Thing is, we only have 2 TVs, and there could potentially be 50+ people signing up...

Maybe a monthlong thing? Lol.

 

[Sorro elNublado]

That would be a dream for me that would never come true.

 

[FireBomb]

Oh man, I should move to Saratoga. Or you guys could come here instead...
Oh but OUR tourneys wouldn't be cool enough for you guys. It only lasts ONE day. And it would only be like, what, 2 hours? Plus we'd only have 30 something people, most who wouldn't challenge you anyways.
Life is hard...

 

[Tron V2.0]

hmm. We have a lunch club which is basically a smash club but only during lunch hours. We've split the club in two cuz we have two tvs. One tv for the noobs and the other for pros. The first tv has about 20 people and the second has about 5 including me. Us 6 kinda shun the noobs.

 

[darkatma]

Lol i changed my mind. gonna start the club this year i think
Uhh

Anyone give me suggestions on how to sweet talk the school council, or whoever decides about clubs? Like, what would the benefits of a smash club be.

Oh yea, and it it too late to start a club in the middle of the year?

 

[squaminator]

no atma, it isn't
start trying to be able to have the "varsity team" to travel to nearby schools to play against people there.

 

[Frozenserpent]

So, we ended up taking a lesson from monta vista, and we are thinking about setting up multiple-week long tourneys, that will take place during lunch. This would be a lot easier to run and manage than a LAN.

 

[some random freak]

my school had a smash bros club.........but they cancelled it when i kept on winning

 

[no. 1 smash daddy]

dude, you stole my idea

 

[Miharu]

[FireBomb]

NoOoOo...I wanted to go to NCT2...

I wanted to destroy you guys there...

 

[darkatma]
