[Attila_]

are these prizes a troll?

you'd think it was '10. a trip to adelaide could easily pay for itself.

this is evo weekend though, no?

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Dude I dunno what's up with the prizes
I made a ruleset with 'not competitive' in mind (hence it being Bo1, single elimination) expecting like $100 for first place or some ****
then our sponsors throw lots of money at us hahahah

But yes, it is evo weekend.

 

[Nikes]

This is exactly what I need, looks like it's really time to put myself to the test...

We also have to take this opportunity to try and bring in more SG regulars.

 

[Attila_]

That ruleset is trash btw.

Give me my custom controls and let me use my own controller please.

 

[Jei Jei]

Or don't consider coming and let other Melbourne smashers win some money. Inconsiderate, man.

 

[Dekar289]

prizes vs ruleset
i'm so conflicted

 

[Grim Tuesday]

That ruleset is trash btw.

Give me my custom controls and let me use my own controller please.

You can use your own controller >_>
The custom controls rule is a silly one that AVCon makes me put in because it's apparently a logistical issue. No one will actually care if you use custom controls.

The ruleset is fine for the convention environment, if you don't like it, too bad

 

[Attila_]

Ill check flight prices tonight...

@jei: I'm good like that.

 

[Ghostbone]

I've used custom controls every AVCon tourney I've been to.
It's a rule easily ignored.

Just need to remember to set profile back to player-1/2/3/4 because randoms don't know how to do that or why their controls are messed up.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

We should have a meet either directly before or after the con for people to play friendlies and ****.

Cause I can't guarantee we'll always have a Smash set-up at AVCon, except directly before the tournament.

 

[Attila_]

which day/days would smash be on? if i go, i'd need to leave sunday arvo/evening, since i've got uni on monday.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Singles for both is Saturday, doubles for Brawl is Sunday.

 

[Attila_]

Myself and Tibor are keen, but only if we get put on different sides of the bracket.

 

[Nikes]

Inb4 Apollo vs Attila 1st round...

 

[Jamage]

I see my already slim chances of winning a 3rd Avcon are getting alot slimmer. As long as someone stops Apollo winning so im still the only 2X champ

 

[Karnu]

I really don't like how you can't customize your controller settings

 

[Nikes]

I really don't like how you can't customize your controller settings

Grim: "No one will actually care if you use custom controls."
Ghost: "I've used custom controls every AVCon tourney I've been to."

Not to worry It does sound silly at first though.

 

[Karnu]

I know but still.

Whats the reason behind these rules?

 

[Jei Jei]

Time constraints mostly, a lot of time is used up by people going back and forth through the option screens.

 

[Karnu]

Fair enough I guess.

 

[Attila_]

so... separate sides of the bracket?

 

[zApollo]

Was starting to err on whether I'd make the trip, but now I might go so I get practice with tibs/attila.

 

[Attila_]

we're not confirmed. waiting for bracket info.

 

[Shaya]

Wait.
Where did this come from?

Evo weekend?
The weekend of a certain international player's arrival in Sydney?
$500 for first?
Best of ones with 2 stocks?
It's a con, so it's going to be smelly, sweaty and smelly?
Seeding?

Saturday for singles?

Alright, here's my plan.
Bring my international guest to SA on Friday/Sat morning and split $700 between us.
Fly to Sydney Saturday Night/Sunday morning.
Run a tournament on the Sunday.
Win that tournament.
Win.
Win
win

What's that? Tibs and Attila would fly from SA to Sydney to party for a few days (screw work/uni Attila) and then go back to melb from there?

Best ****ing weekend of anyone jumping on the party van of their life.
(Best = most awful, exhausting, painful, scarring)

 

[Attila_]

Uni is important, I have a 100% attendance requirement, and I'm too old to fail.

Who's this international guest?

 

[Shaya]

Maybe I shouldn't say guest, considering they're moving here.

 

[Dekar289]

melee player?

 

[Shaya]

No.

It's TinMan, the Canadian Olimar player.

 

[Attila_]

Tinman is gangster, bring him to Melbourne

 

[Shaya]

No. I need to practise some brawl before the States.

 

[Attila_]

i'll teach you that snake mu. apparently i'm unusually good at that mu...

 

[Attila_]

is anyone offering housing for this? i'd be looking at arriving on thursday arvo, then leaving sunday night.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I might be able to house you, Apollo wanted to stay with me as well though so I dunno

 

[dean.]

So how'd it go?

 

[Jamage]
