Yeah, speaking of which I have 3 1/2 weeks left til TP4. I need to pick up the pace if I wanna achieve my goal when I get there. I also did a little research into some of Peach's matchup so I'll see if I can do better next time I play you guys.

**** is a pretty large possibility. As to whether or not she's wearing makeup, I don't care. ****. Period.

Mike it doesn't take much to know that that many tournaments in one day is HIGHLY unlikely. And I don't need a ton of experience to know that a Halo tournament takes longer than a general fighting game tournament. Thats common sense. Since I don't think you will pull all of those tourneys off, I went ahead and took off the one that is both an outlier(only non fighting game there) and the most time consuming.

this is mike. since matt+ is being a negative nancy. he's banned from said tournament. btw, its not common sense, you dont play the game, nor have you even been to a tournament for it. and who said that it was a fighting game tournament to begin with? in anycase, its possible, and if it werent, i wouldnt have put all those up to begin with.

Just so you guys know... this whole tournament thing was mine and Swamp's idea. We were going to do it at a rec center but due to the venue costs we were holding off. We talked about collaborating with Mike after he found out about the discounted price at UAA commons, but nothing is official yet. I'm not trying to start drama here but it kind of sucks seeing everyone saying "cool idea mike" when I was the one who came up with all these plans and I have the notes from my meetings with Swamp to prove it.

Actually I have been to a Halo tournament before, although I didn't enter.

And yes, it IS common sense that fighting game tournaments go faster than others (Provided there are enough TVs, if there are not it can actually make them a lot slower, but since we're obviously being optimistic about this I'll just assume that we will have enough). Smash is a bit slower than other fighting games but it still isn't that bad. In the end it really comes down to how many people are there.

Whatever though, I'll just be going for fun anyways, it doesn't matter to me if it doesn't finish. As long as there is smash I'm fine. Its pretty annoying, I either get ***** by you guys or 4 stock the scrubs at my school haha. I wish I had someone that was about as good as me to play against.

By the way there is a guy named Aaron who shows a lot of interest but he isn't even to the point where he knows all the controls of the game yet. Maybe with time he'll get good enough.

yeah, sooo, it kinda suck that i cant work on my melee's with any one considering all the goods are in anchortown =[
John Peterson. Job Corps. He can probably beat a good sum of people here in Anchorage in Melee. Don't give up hope, there are some good people.

And if you are willing to house for a weekend, I think there's someone also at Job Corps that you could probably get a good fight out of. I'll see if I can get his *** over to Smashboards.

And good ****, Kira and Swamp! Make it a good one! :3

Well, it'll be a collaboration between me, Swamp, and Mike. We talked about stuff and it's all good now. I guess we'll post more details after meeting up and talking about it some more.

I think Matt needs to shut the **** up. I don't know what the argument is about, but I'm betting he does.

This sounds like it'll be fun.

I'm not banned Mike, what are you talking about?
Anyways I'll be in town tomorrow.
Its sooooo fun to talk to scrubs who are like "Oh yeah I'm super good with Roy", then beat them, tell them that I'm like the worst in the competitive community, and listen to them try and tell me that tiers don't exist. But I try my best to teach them stuff.

so does any one know of any up coming tourneys at PnT and what kind of tourneys they will be?
I was told not too long ago to be on the lookout for a Brawl tournament but I dunno. Singles or doubles weren't specified.

@Ean
Dude, those days were soo good! I remember my first smashfest at Ricky's house. Taco Bell run in the bed of the truck, taking hits off of his humidifier, spamming fsmash in doubles...

OH, and that message for Captain Alaska:

I looked into the eyes of God and asked him what beautiful meant. He showed me this...



Lonely name before the might of Sigmar. Lonely might before his as well. For the ringing of the angelic for the power of the god, the uniter of the man. All is lowly, all is not true to purest form to a formation of the righteous spirit without him. I am referenced as Daniel Allman: Destroyer of Men, Crusher of Hearts. For my whims of power can crush the mightiest beast of chaos. Lest my whim for the lust is still the equal. With my saber high, heads will naturally fall below. My hunt my destruction of chaos is the greater of me. Behold! Man stronger through faith and glory not tempt my sword either. My pilgrimage comes through the blood of my enemies. Man forming with chaos becomes a satin, a beast that the world of holy truth must cast aside through a stroke of justice. The world of the women, the endowed fleshly women of the land of the Empire, the holders of momentary pleasure shall know my greatness. Yet! There hearts are weak with sentiment, ignorant to the dangers of the world. They need not worry for I protect them from all beasts. Afoul with guilt, their heart yearns for more. But I must yield for them, chaos is not a sedentary machinations. It is a questing thieving batch of heathens set off to destroy all of civilization. Virgin Queens, I must be wary of you. I must leave this secluded island of lust to protect. Hordes of chaos beware, for the Empire, for Sigmar!

The future has been destined from the womb. Man and Women of power to unite to form a man worthy of the beauty and power of the nobles. My future is to destroy chaos. I’ve known this always. But! At the age of ten, the clouds parted in the sky. The sun beamed down with the rays of all that is true, all that is good. Sigmar showed his face. “Mighty child of mine, go out and learn to fight, learn to destroy, the hordes of chaos do not wait for the weak. Neither should man, make of yourself a warrior. Make of yourself a warrior capable of destroying the fiercest monsters. I grant you strength of thirty mean in the hands of one. Go out and maim.” And so destined, by the god Sigmar himself. I taught. I taught myself to be a warrior, through the guidance of priests, through he courage of Sigmar himself. I have already destroyed much of chaos, yet it grows. It is ever unstopping, ever haunting. The hands of men need to grow more numerous and with more strength. The future shows me more battles, more pain, more glory. My faith in hand, my sword, the smell of pitch. The black haze of the gunpowder fills the air, in a fugue my bravery lurches out. Through the chest of my set mortal enemy I grab his heart, my hand with the tint of ‘orken’ blood. He will feel the pain of my people. He now feels the wrath of Sigmar.

The noblest of the civilian pursuits. Perhaps not quite as useful as the metallurgists or the engineers of the black powder, but it holds a pursuit for which man can grow closer to Sigmar. Man can change the nature that the lord Sigmar made, the lord that came to earth and united all the men. One can change a charlatan’s metal, to the metal of gold. The metal which Sigmar himself loved. The beaming reflection holds a trace of the lord. It takes patience, it takes the power of an ever in conflict soul to control itself and make itself whole. The man of will musters strength to bring domicile way to a tumult of ordered wilderness. Through my magic I’ve become part of the golden order. With dwarven runesmiths minds unite for the power of savior. We must transmute the weak metals, the metals which as a sheath it would still not be as powerful. As a tool, the flesh would not break. We must harness the power for the noble cause, for the noble people of the Empire, but above all for Sigmar, the Heldenhammer.

I do as I may, because of Sigmar. My head is not on a stick with the hands of chaos groping, mangling, chewing at my flesh. My blood not spilled on their voluptuous lips with hate, my life-blood being sucked dry. Empire can do as it pleases for Sigmar. It is no longer slave to the whim of chaos. It shall not ***** itself any longer to a road of bloodshed. The clamor between men no longer occurs. Men united, not for their own virtues. But of strong vice being overcome by a powerful virtue, Sigmar himself. He is the Heldenhammer. He is the Slayer of Untold Evils. He is the cause for destiny bound by those who wage against death, against the sin of nature. With him, our powder will be true, our steel, sharp as the cry of a lady in the night, and our faith true, ringing proudly with the death of chaos.

Says one out of the 3 people pulling this together. Take a few steps back then try again. The right way this time.

And Jason, I would do it but if I recall correctly, neither of us has $1...
After seeing the movie yesterday, I have 5 dollars!

Hey is there anything happening on saturday? This time I'm sure that I'm willing to play smash even though I haven't played in awhile. I'm just glad I'm not so busy from work.

The world is meaningless, there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose. All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well. Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to \"find yourself\", you must make yourself. Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it. Do not let your life and your values and you actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, \"This is who I make myself\".
Do not give in to hope. Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which imbue it. Whatever you do, do it for its own sake. When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, \"**** You!\". Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own. Live deliberately. You are free.

This made me feel good.

Hiko says all of that better and in 2 words. "stupid apprentice..."

so, ima learn how to apply waveshining...

oh and to help with your essay.

theres spoilers here for those of you who havent beaten the 64 game...

The virtues of fox and falco to certain people are one and the same, however to the wiser, there are many slight variations. Due to a strange turn of events an alternate reality was created in which they were forced to do battle with each other and amongst other strange characters as well, those of which includes an electric charged mouse, a tiara wearing prince, a swordsman who saves a princess many many times and never gets laid, a gender confused ninja, a sexy bounty hunter who should not by any means wear a bra under that blue spandex, and a plumber and his brother. but why do they fight? To begin with, Fox McCloud, the hero of the story. an anthropomorphic character, who had to suffer through the tragedy of losing his father, James McCloud, due to the betrayal of his teammates. Fox taking an oath to avenge his father assembled an exceptional team of pilots to take down the man who betrayed James. Among the new team of exceptional pilots was Falco Lombardi. Falco started as the head of a galactic gang, and possesses an uncooperative attitude, though he is devoted to the pilots he flies with. Though he could be described as a "****" he is still the most reliable one of the team and clearly the more experienced fighter. He may not admit it, but Falco considers the team his second family. With a combination of confidence, loyalty, quick nerves, and a great amount of combat experience, he assists Fox through his mission without a second thought. As they fight through their way of the hordes of enemies, Fox makes his way into the enemy base and dispite the disagreements of his team, Fox faces the man who killed his father, Andross, alone. Overcoming his fears and defeating Andross, James, thought to have been dead, appears for a brief moment to guide his son safely out of Andross' exploding base and dissapears as soon as Fox is out. Many years pass and to that day, Fox still wonders wether that was a figment of his imagination or could James still be alive out there somewhere? He continues to fight hoping to find the truth...

I take it that Z-row likes to post in the GCI store in the Dimond Center Mall. He left his account on this one computer. He should be lucky that I won't mess with his account unlike that one guy that took over mine in AiB.

BRAWL TOURNEY FEBRUARY 7
2-6 PM @ PLAY N TRADE


Match Settings

-1v1, 3 stocks, 7 minute time limit, double elimination
-Best 2 out of 3 matches advances, with winners’, losers’ and Grand Finals being best 3 out of 5
-Items must be set to OFF and NONE
-Sudden Death is not in effect. If the timer runs out, the player with the highest number of stocks will advance. If both players have the same amount of stocks, the player with the lowest percent damage will advance.

Stages

-First stage must be a RANDOM neutral (set between Final Destination, Battlefield, Smashville, and Yoshi’s Island). However, a specific neutral may be chosen first round if both players agree to it.
-The losing player is allowed to choose the next stage for a counterpick. Allowed counterpicks include any of the above neutrals, OR any of the following: Brinstar, Castle Siege, Corneria, Delfino Plaza, Frigate Orpheon, Halberd, Jungle Japes, Lylat Cruise, Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2, & Rainbow Cruise. (All other stages are banned.)
-The winner may choose one stage to “ban” for counterpick.

Banned Tactics

-No character bans will be in effect.
-Stalling is banned. This includes Meta Knight’s Infinite Dimensional Cape, repeatedly riding the bike under the stage with Wario, repeatedly flying under the stage and back with Pit, infinite roll with Sonic under Final Destination, etc. Tournament judge has final say over whether or not a move constitutes stalling – first time is a warning, second is a DQ.
-Excessive planking (repeatedly grabbing and regrabbing the ledge with intent to run out the timer) is banned---if you suspect your opponent has been planking, you may check the end stats to see if there are over 50 ledge-grabs, in which case they may be DQed.
-Pausing and restarting a match is not allowed.

General

-Bringing your own controllers is strongly encouraged. We highly recommend standard Nintendo GameCube Controllers; any battery issues arising from wireless controllers are at your own risk. It is your responsibility to ensure your controller is in proper working condition before using it at the tournament.
-Custom control configurations must be set BEFORE the match. Any complications arising from custom control issues (including using someone else’s tag) are at your own risk.
-When you are called to a match you must immediately report to your assigned station (even if you are playing a friendly!) If you hold up the tournament by leaving when you’re supposed to play a match, you may be DQed with no refund. Ask before you leave to go somewhere!
-Match disputes (regarding planking, banned stage, etc.) must be brought up immediately after playing the match in question. It is your responsibility to do this; we cannot go back and replay a match if the tournament has already proceeded.


Play N Trade reserves the right to modify rules, schedule, fees and prizes as needed. Refunds on tournament entry fees will not be allowed if the competitor has already participated in any way.

Does 50 ledge grabs determine if the player was planking? 30 ledge grabs could be said to be planking, so is 50 the final call for a DQ?
