anji is the source of my GG skills (however minimal that may be...currently trying to get back into it)

 

[Sudai]

So, I might be going to Tuscaloosa Competitive Smash IV!! . (What? Lousiana-Alabama interelations in smash? Blaphemous!)

The deciding factors?
-How many people are expected to go to this?
-Does anyone want to team with me? (I'm probably bringing a friend, but he really sucks, but I might team with him anyway. XD)
-Is the rest of Louisiana planning to go to CoT4 or HOBO14. (This is the main thing.)

So if anyone can answer the first two questions for me, I'd be greatly appreciative. : )

Edit: Oh yeah, and housing would be appreciated too. It'd just be me + 1 guy probably. :x

 

[theONEjanitor]

tuscaloosans (and alabamians in general) are notably flaky in terms of their attendance to tournaments.
TCS 1 had about 24 singles entrants
TCS 2 had 8 brawl teams, like 11 melee entrants and will and moogle scared away all the locals, so we didn't even do brawl singles
TCS 3 had 23 singles entrants

so. around 20-something if I advertise well enough is what I'd expect for singles
Even our melee tournaments only brought in about 36 at most

that's Alabama for ya :-D


ask duchock, anomaly, phantom, or munkus about housing

 

[theONEjanitor]

hey guys remember when I used to win money in brawl singles.

george are we teaming at TCS IV?

moogle its about time for you to **** a melee tournament again.
are moogle and coach teaming?
i wont be going to TO 4..i'm traveling to nawlins this weekend hoping to score with as many cajun breezies as possible

i dont know the plan but if there will be any smashing in bham friday afternoon, let me know

@ everyone 21 and up
i think bud light is my favorite beer. am i a n00b

 

[DanGR]

I'll go if Sudai comes.

 

[Duchock]

I can house nobody myself directly. Unless you like sleeping on the cold, hard, unforgiving dorm room ground. (Pro tip: You don't)

 

[GeorgeTHPS]

Yes, let's team at TCS4, theONEjanitor.

 

[popsofctown]

I'll team with you, Sudai. Just because of the Eevee related avatar.


theONEjanitor, if competitiveness is the overriding criteria for how you select games, then you're in the wrong forum. I'm pretty sure there are games much much more competitive than smash, like Starcraft. Player with the most skill wins at that more consistently. Smash goes back and forth all the time. Actually skip that, you can get more competitive. Did you know they have arm-wrestling tournaments? The strongest guy wins, every time. You should look into those "true" competitions, if competitiveness is the only criteria for a good tournament-worthy game.

 

[j00t]

A comparison between Starcraft and Smash? What?

Those are two completely different genres, dog.

 

[shaSLAM]

mabey T1J just likes smash? yaknow, thats why we're all here.
i like marvel vs. capcom and it has a super big scene in montgomery. but i like smash more...


ANYWAYYYS!!!!!!!

who wants to team with me at tuscaloosa tournament??!! if you need a partner hit me up!

PM me or something.

 

[Mahgnittoc]

The better player doesn't win in Brawl. The player who uses Meatknight wins.

 

[popsofctown]

I'm just trying to challenge some absolutes i think T1J has thrown out. He's welcome to say he thinks competitiveness is a much heavier criteria than enjoyment, but i think calling it the only criterion goes against his actions.
If he likes the fighter genre better, it has to be for some reason, which is probably that it's fun. (if he thinks it develops him as a human being or something weird like that, that would work too actually)
Guitar Hero is pretty competitive too.

 

[shaSLAM]

The better player doesn't win in Brawl. The player who uses Meatknight wins.

dammit , you pulled out the "metaknight=win" comeback.
that one always gets me.
its true.
theres no way around it.

[Mahgnittoc]

"Magfest"

The vid wins, but it forgot the "h"

 

[Sudai]

Just letting you guys know. I'm 80% going to the Houston tourney, 20% coming to the Alabama one. Attendance is the main clincher for me. : (

Reminds me of that Bramble Blast remix posted here a while back.

[anomaly]

Ok, cool.
Anyone passing through Birmingham by chance? (i can house friday night here)

 

[Mr. Referee]

It stinks cause there's all these good tournaments but I can't go beyond about Aurburn or Montomery from where I am. What a minute shaSLAM you live in Montgomery? That's awsome, we should get together and smash sometime.

[Dogysamich]

Yup! :D

^.^

 

[theONEjanitor]

the only reason I dont play starcraft is because i've never owned the game.
and I never said or implied that "i only play games that are competitive"
and its silly to assume that smash is the only game i respect as a competitive game, or that this is the only gaming forum that I frequent

i said/implied "having a tournament for a game that's not competitive defeats the purpose of a tournament; and that competitiveness overrides fun in deciding what's suitable for a tournament"
what you play in your friendlies is completely up to you and whatever criteria you choose is as well.
What criteria leads to the most fair tournaments can be objectively found, and what it is in a nutshell is "competitiveness".

the person who played better does win in smash, as well in any and everything that's competitive.

How do you have 2k posts t1j? xD also good luck with those girls you were talking about a few posts back >.>

 

[Sensai]

@ Chad, DogySamich: I just started replaying FFT. Weird that it would show up here.

Amazing game it is.

 

[Will_]

DanGR or Alex, call me as soon as you can at 256-468-4595. I need directions to your neighborhood--I got a new phone and I lost all my numbers so I can't call you guys. -_-;

 

[popsofctown]

i think i just misunderstood you the first time.

I think i'll call Daniel and tell him to call you. I'm not attending the tournament

 

[Pika_Cam]

Will, do you want to play some friendlies before we leave? I was talking to Daniel about that.

 

[Will_]

Sure. I'm going to be there early, so we'll have time.

 

[DanGR]
