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

[Pitzer]

So I was playing that Melee today. Getting my *** whooped by some decent players. By the end of the night I remembered how to dash dance correctly and drop through platforms lol so I was beating them near the end.

Entering for Melee singles?? Maybe! If so I'm making it to 2nd round pools at least.

lmao @ forensic decryption.

I missed the last Apex meeting so I dunno what the current situation is on 9B but I'm sure something is being worked out hopefully.

Hey if you're entering Melee, I will too. Roy all day BABY

 

[-Jumpman-]

DMbrandon is going to beat Nietono with Mario

And me and Gluttony are 2-2 if you count the MM !!!!

Europeans sandbag everywhere.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

so, taking bets on highest placing Non-US/Ally player. Actual player and placing.

I say kakera gets 3rd place. Is Q-bee coming or no? If so I say Q-bee for 3rd place instead.

Really? You think Kakera will place higher than Nietono?!? Out of the people on the confirmed list I'd say Nietono > Otori / Kakera > Rain in terms of how they'll place at Apex.

 

[Heartstring]

Mainland Europeans sandbag everywhere.

fix'd for you, we go hard over here son XD

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I've never seen Calzorz not sandbag in MMs over here though =/

 

[Heartstring]

calzorz doesnt play anymore, so he doesnt count ^^

 

[~ Gheb ~]

How does UK go hard without him though?

 

[Heartstring]

good=/=going hard :3

 

[t3h Icy]

Except probably sexytimes.

 

[Keitaro]

Hey if you're entering Melee, I will too. Roy all day BABY

LET'S GOOO!!!!

Put me in Shiz's/PP's pools guys. Once I get that shine in Falco dittos ALL stocks will be lost!

 

[Dr Peepee]

Is dat so?

 

[Keitaro]

Is dat so?

Don't worry bro, ill let you get that 2nd seed at least.

 

[Dr Peepee]

So you wouldn't mind MM'ing then since I'm an easy win right?

 

[Patches]

keitaro's so freeeeeee.

 

[AllyKnight]

Even if PP was having a seizure, he'd atleast 3 stock Keitaro.

 

[da K.I.D.]

LET'S GOOO!!!!

Put me in Shiz's/PP's pools guys. Once I get that shine in Falco dittos ALL stocks will be lost!

Wow, I can just envision you shine comboing somebody so hard that when you land the kill shot, all four heads at the bottom disappear at once lol.

Don't worry bro, ill let you get that 2nd seed at least.

Yo... this swag is off the charts right now.

Even if PP was having a seizure, he'd atleast 3 stock Keitaro.

This cold-blooded mofo.. lol

 

[Keitaro]

Even if PP was having a seizure, he'd atleast 3 stock Keitaro.

lol mm your Falcon vs my MK all on FD son!! You're not allowed to drink this time though.

@ PP: I'd be brainless to mm you lol. We could have a 3 stock mm, as in every match you 3 stock me you win it and if I take out at least 2 stock I win the match :D Or pretty much you kill yourself twice and we begin the matches. What you think? ;D

 

[Dr Peepee]

Lol sure man I'm not backin down. How much?

 

[Keitaro]

$5 bucks sound good?

I actually have motivation to practice Melee now :D

 

[strawhats]

LET'S GOOO!!!!

Put me in Shiz's/PP's pools guys. Once I get that shine in Falco dittos ALL stocks will be lost!

Did Shiz quit or something? Has been a while since I've seen him at anything.

Lol yeah 5 is cool

Sweet :D

As for any Rutgers students or Apex attendies that happen to live around Rutgers, there will be Brawl and Melee smashfests going on every week on Rutgers from September to December. I'll make a thread about it soon.

 

[Two-Ell]

Well Shiz has pretty much retired from the game yeah. The last thing I saw him at was a tourney in April. He hasn't regularly played the game in a long time. I'm not sure if he has any interest in attending this. You'd probably have to ask his bro about that(I'm not sure if he comes on swf as much either nowadays lol).

[Calzorz]

I've never seen Calzorz not sandbag in MMs over here though =/

DAT NAMESEARCH

i always use to sandbag in mm's haha

and yea i have quit for now but i might return ( cant see it atm ) if i travel just to meet a few peeps occosionally i might just go mk as hes easy to play and i dont touch brawl outside of tournys for like 4 months now or 5

u.k still has anaky and kasper if he still plays but they lack matchup experiance in some matchups (not going to as many europe tournys as me) they can still place though

 

[Roneblaster]

Melee got 99 problems but a japanese player aint one.

m sure neither of them two are gonig to apex though, the only people who have gotten it sorted (cheap flights stop being sold in 4 days) is me and cloud :L

 

[strawhats]

just to rehype this thread for my melee peeps...take a look.

http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=13368869&postcount=43



P.S. EX will also be here. There is a possibility now that Tuga (Twin) can join his brother. Atlus is giving out 3 tickets. 2 of them going to EX/Javi. Third one is kind of in the air now. So hype for Twin as well.

 

[t3h Icy]

I still think Javi is one of the most elite Foxs in the world. Under Mango and Jman, in my opinion.

I really hope he's 100% at Apex! I can't wait to see him play!

 

[KrazyKnux]

Let's just be honest here.

WV foxes all day.

 

[RedGamer]

ok guys I'm interested in melee teams but I'm kinda new. I might have a video by the time registration is over...who knows.

These are my characters

 

[professor mgw]

Hey Alex, I don't have anyway to send $$$ online (no credit card), is it possible that I can pay you guys when walking in?

 

[Strife]

It's probably too late now, but I think to give more importance to the road to apex tournaments there should have only been a single round of pools at this tourney, instead of multiple pools where your qualifications point are only good for the first round.

Simply put the first round of pools doesn't have half as much an influence on whether or not you get into bracket as the 2nd round does. At evo 2011 there was only a single round of pools, that way the points people earned from the evo qualification were a huge fricken deal. The road to apex tournies won't have that same influence, honestly the way things are I don't think it'll be too different from a regular seeding at a national. Just thought this was worth saying.

From what I know, you must register online so you should try to have somebody else pay for you via credit card and pay them the cash afterwards.

The sooner the better as there will likely be price increases soon.

You could get a visa gift card.

not saying any of this is wrong, but I do want to point out what I believe are a few overlooked factors in this example.

evo tourneys have literally multiple thousands of people. And pools for that tournament was (and might be the same case for all big SF tourneys) run with normal double elim bracket rules. where each pool was the size of a small smash national. (128) Which exacerbated the whole 'EVO points are a big deal thing', As opposed to smash tourneys that run round robin style pools. IMO, this tourney still wont be big enough to run double elim. feasibly in pools. and one round of pools basically means that youre going to have to run 8 man pools only 1st place gets out or something crazy like that.

 

[Heartstring]

yeah, the attendance differences between evo and apex are simply too large to compare the two's methods.

 

[AllyKnight]

No leon or gluttony or bjay:'( very umhyped

 

[Alex Strife]

welp gotta help them out then xD
