Apex 2012 | CHECK OP FOR EVENT BRACKETS/POOLS | EVO 2012 QUALIFIER!

[infiniteV115]

Another good reason to not ban MK at this event is the fact that he's considered broken (by some) in NA, but regions like EU and Japan don't have a problem with him and (AFAIK) are generally anti-ban. So having all 3 regions at 1 tournament allows us to glean at least some data that gives some weight to one of the following possibilities.

1) The reason MK isn't broken in EU and Japan is because they don't know how to use MK properly. If they did, they'd want him banned too.
2) The reason MK isn't broken in EU and Japan is because they know how to deal with MK and NA doesn't. If NA did, we wouldn't want him banned and he wouldn't be so successful.

In other words, "EU and Japan suck" vs "Get better scrub"

Edit: Of course, this applies to anti-ban regions other than EU and Japan as well.

 

[GDX]

I think they just dont care, more than they suck

and also...odd number of player entered in dubs. not sure if serious lol

 

[stingers]

Will there be pools for melee doubles? Im not doing singles for melee so I want to get to play a lot of doubles atleast lol

 

[Merkuri]

None of that really takes away from my point tho.

Make a decision and stick to it, and dont make double standards was the main point of my post.

No, this kind of thinking is wrong. Not all decision should be stuck to. Some are bad and others aren't. The only sensible way to change or not change decisions is to evaluate them on a case by case bases.

To say that rule A shouldn't be change because another rule B (the rule you dislike) isn't changed, is incredibly immature and childish.

There won't be pools for any doubles events, just straight bracket.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

ooooh stingers, you and jim better make some upsets in the bracket.

me and sneak plan to i guess, since it's not like we'll have a good seed, we'll have to LOL.

 

[stingers]

We.ve been training...kinda...were not rusty at least. Play dubs with us at winterfest tho...we need to practice up

No, this kind of thinking is wrong. Not all decision should be stuck to. Some are bad and others aren't. The only sensible way to change or not change decisions is to evaluate them on a case by case bases.

And once a decision has been made for each specific case, that decision should be stuck to. If people changed their decisions every time they met opposition, nothing would ever get accomplished.

To say that rule A shouldn't be change because another rule B (the rule you dislike) isn't changed, is incredibly immature and childish.

I hope you realised that a lot of times, presidents are chosen based on who is more consistent. Theres a reason the terms flip-flop and wishy-washy have such negative connotations to them.

btw, this is fun. I hope youre this good at debating in person.

There won't be pools for any doubles events, just straight bracket.

AWWWWWW SNAP.

Dat shi cray.

Everybody gettin all butthurt about singles pools when they should be worrying about how 2/3rds of the tournament aint even gonna get to play more than 3 doubles sets. lol

 

[Bl@ckChris]

me and sneak will be sure to play you two. i left my cube with him so he can push buttons again. looking forward to it.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

I can't wait for this.

 

[Stealth Raptor]

I can't wait for this.

this. so this. super excited regardless of the pools situation cause im gonna make it out

Spoiler

of round one only

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

I hope all 14 people viewing this thread are ready to see awesome swag pictures of me from my new years weekend.

It'll bring swag hype.

I even bought new glasses.

 

[Kuro~]

WOAH you can't even make a legitimate analogy with not banning metaknight and having different pools...come on Kid...

 

[M@v]

and also...odd number of player entered in dubs. not sure if serious lol

Someone's teammate just hasnt registered yet probably.

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

Or a doubles warrior is going to take 2 people at one time and win it all

 

[Vist]

hmmm

gotta register soon

 

[da K.I.D.]

Ive been scanning the list... and theres actually a bunch of people whos partners havent registered.

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Hype?

 

[MechWarriorNY]

*namesearches*

Why did I get mentioned along with TonyT and Shippo on like page 388?
LOL


Anyway, get HYPE

 

[M@v]

Well mine did register recently, but he just put N/A as his teammate too. Going to get it straightened out soon. I'm sure there are other teams like that as well.

 

[Kuro~]

How can we make sure our team is confirmed and/or fix the problem?

 

[The_SMILE]

Can someone tell me if this is right? $10 to go and just chill, $55 to enter 1v1 Brawl and pay venue? lol Going either way just seeing if entering is worth it.

You. Are dumb. Sorry. But anyone who doesn't understand that the legalization of Brinstar and Rainbow Cruise here (as well as other CPs), in comparison to all neutral stages is a huge factor in MK's "brokenness" is blind.

Him getting a free win vs 90% of the cast is silly. If you look at the recent japanese tourney using apex ruleset (was like a month ago) or even the doubles tourney that was even more recent over there, (also using apex ruleset) suddenly MK becomes significantly more prevalent. This is not a coincidence. They didn't even have rainbow or brin, but the mere introduction of CPs shows that MK gets way better than if the game is played solely on neutrals.

I'm anti mk ban, but pro brin/rc ban for this reason. Another reason I am really hyped for this tourney, I loveeee the ruleset. <3

Can someone tell me if this is right? $10 to go and just chill, $55 to enter 1v1 Brawl and pay venue? lol Going either way just seeing if entering is worth it.

It is a bit excessive. =/

Just got a $50 visa card for christmas, and I can't even register yet because entrance is $5 more. -__-

 

[Divinokage]

Oh ya! I've done this plenty of times, feels awesome. =)

 

[da K.I.D.]

Everybody getting madd at the price. You should have registered 3 months ago when it was cheap like I did.

Now, you get to literally pay the price for waiting till the last minute

 

[Keitaro]

Nice Roller and Kid.

To add onto what Roller said, Rain usually loses to Nietono all the time but he beat Nietono with Apex rules. MK vs Olimar of course.

Also Rain is really good. Can't wait to see him destroy people cause they think he's *** now for some reason.

 

[GDX]

Maybe smashers along with a deadline, will learn to pre reg for nationals early when they eventually move onto other fighters. I already paid for final round

Also I havnt practiced marvel at all so imma get **** on. Decided to focus on AE and KOF instead until I get really good at them

 

[Stealth Raptor]

ye i can definitely say i dont have much sympathy for those that didnt reg early lol

 

[Merkuri]

That's disappointing. I hope Nietono learns the stages before Apex.

@Dakidd: Yes I am

 

[Keitaro]

^ Yup it is.

All Brawl 1st round brackets will be released tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Heartstring]

^ Yup it is.

All Brawl 1st round brackets will be released tonight or tomorrow.

All brawl is the event that the real men are entering this apex!

 

[GDX]

I would've entered all brawl but I couldn't register in time

 

[@TKbreezy]

man at first I was like "ehhh 4 man pools?"

but then I was like "ehhh first seed"

 

[DRDN]

All brawl is the event that the real men are entering this apex!

Quoted for truth~!

 

[steep]

I'm going in for All Brawl. lol Just thought I should warn everybody ahead of time so they had SOME idea of what hit them...

 

[Seagull Joe]

Anyone good left who needs a teammate? Mine dropped me.

 

[TSM ZeRo]

Who's in charge of the "Fantasy Trips" (NYC/NJ Tour) for Out-Of-Country attendants? I really want to ask him/her a couple of questions.

Thanks!

 

[Linguini]

can't make this anymore. my funds are a lot lower than i thought they would be around this time and the trip just isn't realistic..... sorry guys

 

[Strong Badam]

you will be missed

 

[Divinokage]

Goddamn it Linguini, I was looking forward seeing you **** some ****. =(
