Just SOMEWHAT far away.

Transit sucks; a trip that takes around 15 minutes by car will take around 50 minutes with transit unless you do not transfer at all.

 

[jber4life]

Well, its going to start 5 pm On the friday night, the saturday will probably start sooner

 

[Limeee]

ppig you have the scrubbiest ruleset (lol random stages).

just sayin

 

[Tyson651]

is it originally that small?

 

[victra♥]

that ruleset has been around longer than you were man. Its pretty much the classic provincial ruleset.

too bad that doesn't mean anything

 

[halcyon.days]

I will try to make the tournament on the 31st!!

 

[victra♥]

lol ma tt

 

[x After Dawn x]

too bad that doesn't mean anything

um yes it does, it's been used for years by national tournaments and tourneys in alberta as well, which means people like it and it's reliable

don't try replacing it with a brawl ruleset cause none of the red deer guys give a **** about brawl

 

[Vitality]

Who brought stage striking into Melee? Honestly the worst decision made in my opinion.

 

[victra♥]

tyler, you don't even play smash

 

[Get@Will]

Let me know when videos are up please

 

[victra♥]

I put some on my laptop today. But I've just been really busy with stuff so don't expect them for a while =p

jarrett's samus is pretty sexy in teams. Besides the random times where he plays it like a FFA. ahahah <3 Still, so tight.

 

[x After Dawn x]

tyler, you don't even play smash

and what's your point? get off my ****

 

[Sraigux]

tyler, you don't even play smash

BUT YET IT STILL MAKES SENSE

/caps

 

[T-block]

not trying to start anything, but i'm genuinely curious

what is the support for random first stage other than "that's how we've always done it" and "stage striking is for brawl"?

 

[Tyson651]

thats basically it.

i personally dont really have a preference between the two.

 

[sleak-]

i prefer pound 4 rules

 

[x After Dawn x]

cause it's much more convenient and people don't care about small technicalities because they believe the better player will win anyway on a neutral

 

[T-block]

^i can't tell if that post is in favour of or against stage striking

is it really so impossible to believe that two players can be close enough in skill that the stage can make the difference? so jiggs vs fox there are no two players close enough that three matches on YI would have a different outcome from three matches on dreamland?

 

[x After Dawn x]

i'm not against it or for it, really

jiggs vs fox is one of the reasons why people tried bringing stage striking to melee btw, cause they believe it's quite a big difference between a stage like yoshi's and a stage like dream land

 

[Tyson651]

except with the old ruleset, u each ban a stage before doing random.

that means in a fox vs jiggs, YS and dreamland are gone for sure, and it'll be a random between battlefield, FD, FoD, and pokemon

and tyler's post was talking about the old ruleset.

 

[x After Dawn x]

yeah but then people were whining that they had to waste their ban on a stage that needed it more (ie: brinstar) when the first match should be "equal" anyway

lucky i don't think many people pull brinstar in alberta lol

 

[Imagination]

On stage striking:

1. Just another rule that I have to learn, and play by.
2. It was introduced by people that don't even play my game.
3. Even in the old rules, I would rarely ever bother with banning a stage in tournament sets, its just too much of a hassle for something I really couldn't care less about.
4. With random being eliminated there is a very small chance (depending on which stage and what characters) for ever playing on a stage you just plain like with no real "strategical advantage."
5. There is no need to get rid of or add another stage to the neutral list. I'm actually very surprised that after having the same neutral list for so long people just jumped right to the conclusion that it should be changed.

On the other hand, I do realize that stage striking is a significantly more fair standard of match starting, however I don't play this game the same way I used to; like how a lot of you guys do. I don't play to get on pr's or place high in tourneys, winning isn't a very big deal. I play because I had such a good time growing up with

Spoiler

(some of)

you guys just ****in around playing video games all day. I play this game for the good times with old friends and for nostalgia's sake.

I'm not going to argue it, or really brush up on it any further than this. Its why I won't adopt your rules.

 

[T-block]

that's what i thought levi. thanks

i cp'd brinstar on paul last weekend

 

[Limeee]

i use brinstar

 

[Stevo]

I forget, is Pokemon stadium a neutral currently?

 

[Tyson651]

neutral on teams, not neutral on singles.

 

[Stevo]

ok thanks

also, I re-watched ssmb: Canada, and you did a good job on that Victor.

it deserves more views

If it moves, kill it!

Speaking of which... Matt! Would you like to team with me?

 

[Limeee]

david were still teaming right?

i'm not going to this red deer tournament but for the next monthly

 

[Dragonz7]

I'm teaming with Jarrett sorry. Even though he missiles me like 7 times in a match

Who else is going to the red deer tourney? I need a ride :]

 

[Dr. Ike]

naw man, i'm already best ike

you don't even know

Wait, Jack?

Just to mention, I'm one of the people DumberChild mentioned is going. And yes I am here to confirm that. I am 90% sure that I'll be able to go. And I'll probably look like a ****ing idiot getting driven there by my parents >.< But are we supposed to bring food or something to last us the day?

Hello and Welcome to.

Dangit, 5Pm. Hope i can make it...

if I might go, I might go with you

ppig you have the scrubbiest ruleset (lol random stages).

just sayin

You're an idiot. Just sayin'

<3

Stage striking is less fun and less hardcore.

is it really so impossible to believe that two players can be close enough in skill that the stage can make the difference? so jiggs vs fox there are no two players close enough that three matches on YI would have a different outcome from three matches on dreamland?

Dude do you realize how many times I've played those three matches and gotten random *** results? Come on the biggest thing about melee that puts it above every other game is the fact that you can influence ****, if he up throws you (jiggs) you have the choice to DI which direction you want, it's not street fighter bro, set combo's arn't entirely existant.

tl;dr.

Basically yeah what he said, I personally don't think stage striking is good, but his points are valid. Main reason I don't think it's good is just because it limits variety and can sometimes screw over people who only play one character, especially if that person doesn't play a higher tier.

david were still teaming right?

i'm not going to this red deer tournament but for the next monthly

Speaking of which, anyone wanna team for red deer?

 

[T-block]

lol did you even read my post? there's more to stage selection in fox vs jiggs than u-throw u-air ._. are you saying ceiling height doesn't matter in that matchup because you can DI the u-throw?

 

[lemonlau36]

Lemonbread team?

Edit: Lemonbeard?

 

[Stevo]

if the red deer tournament was on the 30th I probably could have made it cause I'm going to a wedding on the 31st in the area.


I would be fine with stage striking if you picked characters after the stage.
It would change almost nothing to do the double blind pick after the stage striking (as far as time taken to start a match)

Did you even read mine? I said the stages basically mean **** all anyways. I was saying the thing thats so good about melee is the fact that everything is so adaptable, thats why I'm against stage striking, because it doesn't promote variety and adaptability.

Dude knowing their character before is how it's done and it's silly still.

 

[x After Dawn x]

i think people who want to win and wanna get the fairest stage aren't gonna care about variety lol

each to their own though
