Apex 2012 SSB64 Event

[dandan]

Just noticed that Mister E, who kept talking about how good he was, placed below Mango playing the game competitively for the first time.

i remember a$ telling me he was actually pretty good, and who knows, maybe mango is a prodigy in 64 as well.
armada will probably start playing online with the euro group (funk bought him a gc adapter ) and we will see how good these melee phenoms can get quickly (though i understand he is pretty good).

there is a tourney this weekend in sweden that funk, armada and olikus will attend, with a 64 side event, and we will see how it goes.

maybe mango is a prodigy in 64 as well.

Oh, I have no doubt he is. But prodigy or not, it was his FIRST TIME (from what I've heard). No matter how talented somebody is, they should be able to beat good players when they first pick up the game.

But if A$ says so, I guess so, although I'm not sure how good A$'s definition of good is. I doubt it's as good as Mister E was making himself sound.

 

[Olikus]

I didnt see mango on the bracket list. Did he use an alternative name for the 64 event?

mango = the scorpion master.

 

[Nintendude]

I watched Mango play and he wasn't any good. He used Falcon and figured out that up-air is good for comboing, and other than that he just played very safely.

this is a contradiction.

 

[The Star King]

Playing safe isn't necessarily good. Know when to take risks.

See: Melee Mango.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

Edit to information before: if I can get a controller (such as at the event), I plan on joining regardless to the n64 tournament. just don't expect anything more than a bad Pikachu or a bad Falcon LOL.

 

[b-rex]

I might actually want to go visit NYC that week, RaIsE THE PrIcE!!

 

[Alex Strife]

Well here is my thinking.

Alot of the people that entered the last Apex SSB64 event entered because it was cheaper. I understand some may want $10 but in reality I just think it would be best at $5 unless there is a huge push.

 

[Alex Strife]

rules are up now

anything else u guys need let me know.

Also, what is the general view on the Cargo Hold? I wanna make sure everything is set for that as well.

 

[Battlecow]

Check the BR ruleset or ask one of those guys, but I believe it's allowed because it's escapable. I don't remember it ever being a problem before anyways; it doesn't work as well as it seems to in those Isai vids.

And yeah, the 64 people probably want a bigger price/pot, but for the melee/barwl crowd $5 might draw them in to give it a try.

 

[The Star King]

Raising the price would be dumb, seeing as how 64 isn't exactly very popular already. Don't do it.

 

[firo]

I had little excuse not to come to the last Apex, so I'm gonna try and catch this one, as long as SSB64 is played on actual n64 consoles and not wii's. Maybe I'll dabble in some of the other games. Who here plans to come?

I think there are around 8 poeple so far that might go. Alex should put up an attendees list. One for people that are sure to come and one for people(like me) who might come.

 

[Sharky]

Well let me have my special guest make a video then

SO MUCH SUSPENSE GODDAMNIT lmao

and I'll definitely be hitting up the 64, hopefully I won't have to forfeit out of losers this time though. =(

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

I am self-confirming myself, tournament starts a week before school starts.

 

[Alex Strife]

special guest for 64 = isai btw xD

 

[B Link]

Might be going to this since I'm vacationing in Jersey City anyway over the holidays. I only play 64 though lol not good at the other ones

 

[Sensei]

I might go. I won't let someone take my championship belt that easily! Oh wait, Isai is going? ... I won't let it go that easily!

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

Just because this is n64...Pokemon Puzzle League MM anyone? I'll bring the game lolol

 

[Sangoku]

If I fail my exam in june I will have a free 1st semester next year (as I already passed it), which means holliday until end of january. Which means I might go. Chances are about 2.5% for now (even if I fail my june exam I'm not sure I'll be going for several reasons: money, I don't speak english well, I don't know anybody except from europeans on kaillera, ...)

 

[Sharky]

you're counting on failing your exam? are you sure you don't mean pass? =/

 

[Sangoku]

Nope, it's failing indeed. I'm in first year medicine if that's not a good enough reason lol. Dunno about America but here it's like one of the most difficult s*** ever...
Oh and I don't count on failing, I said if ^^.

 

[Sharky]

ok that makes me feel better lol

New Experienced Player

How does one sign up for these Apex tournaments? (I'm new to smashboards and the tournament-gaming world, but realized I'm relatively good after 4 months of college going undefeated amongst several players)

 

[Sharky]

signups haven't started yet for this, but check out tournament listings for info on stuff going on near you =D

 

[bobbosv]

Hey guys...yea i just signed up for these forums but my friend and i would also be down to come. Like someone else posted before i would really only want to play on n64s since thats what i have been doing since the game came out.

 

[dookdigity]

Just because this is n64...Pokemon Puzzle League MM anyone? I'll bring the game lolol

I will play you! Not sure about money match, but I will play you and bring my setup for sure! How about a $5 money match? I only play for points. None of this bricks garbage (unless you want to play like that)

Also B-Rex and I were talking and we are pretty sure we are coming to this.

Can we also do a 2 vs 2 bracket? I wouldn't want to fly all the way from west coast just for a 1 vs 1.

I don't play points, just bricks.

Spoiler

5 minute matches are better

 

[dookdigity]

Yeah I can do bricks too. How much were you thinking for a money match?

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

just the normal amount like in other types of games so 5 I guess for the first person to win 3 (as in to knock out all 3 of the opponent's pokeman's)

 

[dookdigity]

Sweet, sweet pokemans. Let's do it.

 

[xenen]

where will this be exactly, or is it unknown still? And if I can go, I could definitely bring my N64, game, and controllers if necessary.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

I believe during the previous Apex, it was held on Saturday Night so probably then (the 8th if I am not mistaken).

 

[Sangoku]

I think he asked where, not when. First the yoshi thing, then that. What's happening to you lol?

 

[Battlecow]

It's in New Brunswick. I dunno if they have a specific venue picked out yet.

 

[King Funk]

I honestly think Apex 2012 should have from at least 5 computer Smash 64 setups so that people using any type of controller can play against each other. The other day at a swedish tourney with Olikus we tested all sorts of adapters and stuff and we usually always managed to tweak them to near perfection. Console and VC smash 64 sometimes lag due to Link bombs or team matches while a good computer won't. People are being way too "purist" when it comes to playing on console or not but I believe we should really try computer setups out for Apex. They're in fact amazing and quite versatile, way better than most people make them out to be.

 

[ciaza]

I'm fine with using computer set-ups, but I can see why people would dislike it. Console can feel very different to emulators and I can understand people not wanting to adapt.

 

[Alex Strife]

Our venue is at Rutgers University for people wondering.


Since I am hosting this event I need to know who will be TOing this event. Nothing against you guys but I am running all these other events so I need a hand.
