So I don't know if all of you guys know this, but Aish is going to hold a melee tournament in december.

 

[x After Dawn x]

I have a brief question that I need every Melee player to answer (concerning Melee monthlies):

Should we run on the traditional neutral system where we choose the first stage of a set via Random? Or should we run on a stage striking system where both players strike stages out of the starter list until only 1-2 remain (if 2 remain, it can be chosen through rock-paper-scissors / coin toss)?

I'm leaning towards stage striking with either the 6 traditional neutrals + Kongo Jungle 64 until only 1 stage remains, or with the 6 traditional neutrals until 2 remain, and then rock-paper-scissors / coin toss determines which one of those is played.

wtf is stage striking.

**** that just do random. It's monthlies.

 

[Bread~]

i don't even want to state how many contradictions you've made in that post.

i'll be the mature one and not continue this "fight".

It said agree/disagree

so when do you guys want to do this melee tournament?

I miss ShiroDK

Ehh, I'm starting to think about it more realistically, and I would have to organize and time a lot of things to get it to work. Maybe if I can carpool with the other Lethbridge guys or something like that...

It'd be really hard to do, but I'll let you guys know if I can figure anything out.

Well, keep talking to us.

Canada's Cool

Best Shirt.

Is it in Calgary? I may be able to if I can pull a few things together. I'll be able to let you know before Halloween.

I'd need housing, and I would want to stay a day or two extra to make the trip worthwhile. I'll see what I can do. =)

EDIT: Also I got a sweet camera for my birthday. I just have to get some memory for it and then I can record tourney stuff and happenings.

Calgary never does anything.

north coast is for social threads.

this is a social thread.

It's our ONLY thread.

lucky played really well but mango started going on a roll
falcos like that I know personally. you can't give any leeway or he'll take a set
I wish I could DI like lucky, it's really good

Rollout

icy do you have msn?

Seconded.

So I don't know if all of you guys know this, but Aish is going to hold a melee tournament in december.

Is this going to **** over Mike White?

Can brawl players stop ****ing up our melee?

Stage striking is a big no on my part. a BIG no.

 

[Solaris1110]

Holy crap, that post actually confused the heck out of me. "SKREM SKREM SKREM SKREM SKREM SKREM?" :o

 

[Alphicans]

You know how I feel. Stage striking adds more strategy to the game, and makes it a lot more fair.

 

[victra♥]

Melee is a lot less stage dependent than Brawl so it matters much less, imo. I think we should keep it traditional with just 1 stage ban, and random for first match.

Though I'll be content with either, I don't really care. Just as long as we don't adapt Plank's homo ruleset.

 

[Alphicans]

wtf? Plank's ruleset is Godlike.

 

[MurdaMoe]

stage striking?

just start on smashville

 

[victra♥]

nooooooooo

10nooos

 

[Ermine]

Wao, wao wao. I know right? Also, I agree with Nidoran Female.

 

[Solaris1110]

I like stage striking because it just gives another element of fun, while not being any worse than random selection in terms of fairness. Its such a trivial detail that no one should even care really. But hey, i'll totally do stage striking if my opponent wants to do it

man I wish there was a way to prevent text from being converted to smilies lol. they just ain't the same

 

[KillL0ck]

Stage striking is more fair.

 

[Alphicans]

Yeah. It makes characters like falcon not able to get ****ed over by FoD, and characters like marth not to have **** advantages on Yoshi's.

 

[x After Dawn x]

lol I love how all the melee players are so conservative and how all the brawl players prefer change

Anyhow, I think we're just going to try stage striking for the first month. Being lazy enough to not spend an extra 15 seconds on stage striking isn't a legit excuse, especially when the first match of a set can REALLY make the difference in the entire set (ie: fox vs jiggs, if the first match is YS, fox will probably win, if the first match is DL, jiggs will probably win).

 

[victra♥]

Or Falcon can just ban FoD like always, and everyone can just ban Yoshi's vs Marth like always.

edit: fox bans dl, jiggs bans yoshi's. Also, its not so much that we don't want change, but really. I don't think it's all that necessary, especially for melee.

 

[MurdaMoe]

Im bored

 

[KillL0ck]

sup moe


sup

Yeah but with this, it means they can ban another stage. Melee isn't immune to imbalance, and there is no way you can disagree with that.

 

[MurdaMoe]

Sup killock

I main marth now

 

[KillL0ck]

oh i main snake now


wut

 

[MurdaMoe]

haha word?

why?

 

[x After Dawn x]

edit: fox bans dl, jiggs bans yoshi's.

Okay

So now let's say it's Pokemon Stadium. It's in Fox's favor, Fox wins. Jiggs cps Mute City or Brinstar. Jiggs wins. Fox cps Green Greens. Fox wins.

Or let's say it's Battlefield. It's in Jiggs' favor, Jiggs wins. Fox cps Green Greens. Fox wins. Jiggs cps Mute City or Brinstar. Jiggs wins.

If there was stage striking, it could probably go like: Fox bans DL, Jiggs bans YS, Fox bans BF, Jiggs bans Pokemon Stadium, Fox bans KJ64, Jiggs bans either FoD or FD, so now the stage is either FoD or FD, which is a lot more balanced than PS / BF, and it retains the players' abilities to ban something other than DL / YS (which, if they didn't in Random picks, could end up them getting ***** in match 1, which would probably make them lose the set).

Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit, but the point is that stage striking is more fair and leaves more options open.

 

[T-block]

because his marth lost to my PT

so now he picks snake and ***** me all day

 

[KillL0ck]

cause uptilt + T-Block = funny lolol

 

[MurdaMoe]

haha

tblock just wait for the airdoge!

 

[MurdaMoe]

if i teamed with tblock we would totally win

 

[T-block]

it doesn't work

no matter what you try against snake

it doesn't work

EDIT: adat3 moe, you and me

 

[KillL0ck]

my marth got royally messed up that day lmao also marth is just boring now

i've played him fora long time like 2 years

and he's just boring to play now

thats about it

also snake is fun

 

[x After Dawn x]

Jack, Luke and I had a sidebet on who would win in you vs Mark

I bet $5 on you, Luke bet $5 on Mark

you better go marth and win lol

 

[Alphicans]

You'll keep marth in your back pocket right?

 

[MurdaMoe]

so when you play dan, what will you do?
