HASL on the 13th

 

[theONEjanitor]

i aint goin to fairhope but i might hit up ttown/huntsville

WHAT UP HVILLE I MISS YALL

also, i am just now realizing that HASL sounds like an actual word when you pronounce it

 

[_Keno_]

Yeah, I was looking at fairhope tourny and it looks nice and all, but too far for me. I think I'm switching from melee to PM for a while, not because it's better, but because it's way more fun for me. Tbh playing a game for 7+ years does get old, and there's no melee scene anyways.

Anyways, see you guys at HASL (jan geo, i want some practice, you too other b'hamers)

 

[GeorgeTHPS]

Tuscaloosa Sunday, Huntsville next Saturday then. Practice at some point before then.

Which is awesome and incredibly useful, but in fairness, if any other people are like me, they just click to the first unread post via Smashboards notifications, so it's also worth discussing/bringing up in replies.

 

[Mahgnittoc]

which is the only reason i know about hasl. Hopefully if we get a nice turn out they'll let us do finals in the theater room. They did it last month for Street Fighter and it was hype

 

[DjTieske]

Yeah, can't wait for the 13th. I think I've convinced a few friends from out of town to drive down here for HASL. Finals in the theater room would be max hype, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for that.

Hey @ Zylo have the weekly meets with ABXY started back already?

Hey @ Zylo have the weekly meets with ABXY started back already?

Yep! They started up this week. You should join the ABXY facebook page if you have not, as they're posted on there. Additionally, all the info is on one of Moogle's posts at the beginning of this thread.

 

[Jake The Preacher]

Alright I'll see what I can do and hopefully make some of the meets before BIO. Only having CPU's to play against is a new level of laaaaaame

I don't think there's anything on the calender before bio.

I know Jethro, Fraud, and a couple other people that live out that way play. They have Fight Nights at 1Up Games on Fridays, I'd start there.

You should state the latest update in the thread title, so newcomers know the first post is worth reading and not incredibly outdated.

Good idea! I took this to mean putting the date of my last edit in the title, but maybe you mean more like the Middle Tennessee thread? http://smashboards.com/threads/midd...score-grand-reopening-murfreesboro-tn.205928/

 

[Cubelarooso]

Yeah, just the date is what I meant, but whatever you think is best. Although personally the Middle Tennessee thread's title is so long that I just don't want to read it.

 

[theONEjanitor]

shoutouts to moogle for keeping the thread updated

 

[_Keno_]

dude, that tipped off door fee is obscene

 

[*Cam*]

dude, that tipped off door fee is obscene

Yeah, that's why I'm not going. Too expensive for my taste.

 

[_Keno_]

So is anyone from B'ham actually going to the tusca tournament or am I going alone.

 

[BondIsTaken]

Hey there! I just posted this in the New Members forum, but I figure I should post here too! Copy+paste:

Hey there. New here, never played competitive smash in my life. However, I've been playing since 64 and have put well over 1000 hours into 64, melee, and brawl. Missed melee when it originally came out, recently picked it back up with a friend of mine. We've been trying to get better at the game after watching some competitive videos. We know are bad, lol. But we would really like someone other than each other to play against, we know each others habits too well, and playing with people who are better than you is how you get better, right? We live in the Guntersville/Albertville/Boaz area, hit me up! We'd really like to learn how2good@melee.

 

[GeorgeTHPS]

So is anyone from B'ham actually going to the tusca tournament or am I going alone.

I'm up late tonight, but I'll try to wake up in the morning. $2 entry fees lol, but it should be a good time. I hope you have my number or you can message me on facebook or something.

 

[Metmetm3t]

Hey there!
.

yo, what's good bond? Do you and your friend have transportation? Because Huntsville isn't to far out from you and they have stuff all the time. I don't think we have any active players Albertville now. Dees actually hosted two tournaments there a while back, but he's moved out.

 

[*Cam*]

Hey there!

Welcome to the scene. Ditto what M3t said ^

Yeah we have transportation. Ill look into some meetups in huntsville, thanks.

 

[Metmetm3t]

Yea also if you haven't gotten it yet look for Alabama smash league on Facebook Twitter. Especially group on Facebook.

 

[Jake The Preacher]

4th place at Bring It On, I'll gladly take it even if there's no payout to it. Progress is plenty valuable to me

 

[_Keno_]

Wait, were you the fox player in melee, McCloud?

 

[Merk]

Hey so I think @ Zylo implied he was pooped and would give props/work on the results thread tomorrow, but as one of the other TOs (I was the guy running the brackets 80% of the time, and who was trash and went 2-2 in both main events) I'll just go ahead and thank everyone who came out to the second installment of BiO. Major props to everyone who came from out of town - especially the Birmingham folks who took most of our money and the Huntsville people who made the long trek down to also wreck most of us. Special thanks to everyone who brought a setup (especially for PM - 44 entrants was well above what I had initially expected, and 38 for Melee was nothing to scoff at either). We're trying to work the Tuscaloosa scene back up, obviously, so that's the reason the prize pool was where it was at (IIRC Alex told me he had discussions with Louisiana people about it and they figured $2 was good to build a local scene of newer players and a stable scene can handle the $5-$10).

I've got a few things that I thought - from a TO perspective - went incredibly well, and others that definitely need improved upon, but please feel free to share your thoughts, those of you who went. Again, a big thanks to everyone who did!

EDIT: Oh, and Tuscaloosa is bringing a group of (currently) 5 or so to Huntsville this upcoming weekend, so we'll see you there!

Nah, he only played Falcon in melee as far as I know. Me and @ Zylo were playing a lot of red suit fox in melee.

Best. $4. Ever. Spent.

I will DEFINITELY be back for more of these!

 

[Jake The Preacher]

In melee I played mostly Falcon with a little Ganondorf. I got 4th in PM, using mostly DK with Wolf against the Ike player

 

[Zylo]

BIO! 2 results thread! Quick thank you to everyone who came out. The turnout was great, there were some hype matches, and I think almost everyone had a good time. I can't wait to see you all next month.

[o-Serin-o]

What a turnout. I wonder how many people that attended were just UA students who wanted to check out the scene.

 

[_Keno_]

So who all from B'ham is going to HASL?

 

[Mahgnittoc]

The Hunstville tourney is this weekend. $5 entry fee for any of the 3 games. Also Nick(Pope) is setting up streams for Saturdaynight Smashs. I'll try to get the link next time we do it
