Apex 2012 SSB64 Event

It's a biiiiiig tourney, and pools would mean a lot... but on the other hand I'm sure you'll do a good job with the seeding.
Just out of curiosity, how do you manage to fit that many ****s in your mouth at once? Seriously, the sheer volume of semen you must ingest on an hourly basis renders me speechless, while the fact that you can manage to type while ingesting it is nothing short of miraculous.

seems being a good troll is a requirement for the unity ruleset committee
nobody takes 64 seriously, even when the relative skill of their players soars above the relative skill of melee, brawl or anything players

I talked to Strife to sort out some issues and I'm happy to announce that we will most definitely be running an unofficial 2v2 tournament. The tentative time is on Sunday at 11am and we're thinking a $5 entry fee per person. If you will definitely be entering AND know who you are teaming with, please send me a PM to sign up. Money and last minute signups will be taken during the 1v1 bracket.
Also, if there's any scheduling conflicts I overlooked (or if most of you won't be at the venue on Sunday) please let me know ASAP so I can find a better time. As of now the only thing this conflicts with is SSF4 top-8.

Oh DM, Smashboards needs more people like this guy
not kidding lolol
Also, are ther egoing to be any extra controllers for smash 64. I will need a controller as MattNF still has my old ones from years go

I'm pretty sure hamburglar is bringing a bunch of extras like last time.
Nintendude
Smash Hero
Hamburglar says 3 consoles, 2 cartridges, 2 TVs, and at least 12 controllers. He'll probably be hesitant to lend out the really good controllers though.
idc. I just need a controller that is usable.
I am bad at using a controller so I am probably going to be taken out in 2 rounds albeit getting a bye or facing someone who is bad also (might as well go Kirby then LOL)

may try to get more mics since I kinda need mics for apex live lol

If there's a mic I'm like to have high quality, informative commentary, though I'm not sure how realistic that is. If there's no quality commentators out there then I'd rather have no commentary at all.

Yeah my recording setup definitely has a splitter and studio mic, so commentary is not an issue, it's just the commentators. I like clear, crisp, strong voice and knowledge on the game no offense to people that will want to, but certain people just shouldn't be talkin LOL.

Being good at the game isn't enough to be a good commentator. I suck at commentating.

ok, what do people want?
'ooh, committing with that f-air was a bit of a mistake, kirby's u-tilt beats it cleanly', or people screaming incoherently?
i want the latter tbh

I would like it to just be hype crowd audio actually with some occasional input from the person nearest the mic. Like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzy7uL6HJ-M
This is not a Smash Tourney. This is a multi-platform major. The longer you add meaningless titles, the longer Smash and Fight Games in general will be put on the back burner. It's important to grow as a culture, and not sub genres that are only held dear by people who feel out of place in crowds.
/anger.
With that said, it's important to note that we're going to get roughly 10-12 thousand people concurrently watching the stream for said events. Hyping Smash64 would lose us close to that number. While people may enjoy playing it, the viewer fan base is so minisclue, that it's hardly even worth mentioning. the game pushes into it's teenage years, with graphics that are hardly watchable by today's standards. The idea that this would be streamed on the main stage period is something that shouldn't even be suggested, LET ALONE OVER TWO OF THE MOST POPULAR GAMES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
This kind of ignorance is hurting Smash as a community, and it's very much the same mentality random Brawl players have about Melee being too hard, and the Melee elitists who don't like Brawl because there is a lack of combos. All games competitively have value, and should be explored; however, when it comes to streaming, there is a priority of popularity that must be addressed.
This is truth. Not you sucking at commentating, I haven't heard you, just the former.

i sort of agree with what brandon is saying, but this isn't the best place to be talking unwelcome truths about this game
i still think putting the 64 grand finals on the main stage wouldn't be a bad idea, it'll win nostalgia points and a lot of active melee and brawl players dabble in it anyway
also, isai (who will almost certainly get into grand finals) is idolised in the melee world as well, so there's some hype for you

I don't see the benefit of having people care more about 64. :\

Just let isai and boom have an exhibition match on the stream.
It should be hyrule only to show the smash64 metagame.

Is Apex gonna be getting revenue from the livestream? That's the only reason I can think of right now that would cause this decision. If not, 64 needs more respect. There's absolutely no reason to not to show 64 in the big screen. Also, don't pull the old "graphics aren't good" card because there's people that still play Street Fighter II and the graphics don't mean crap when it comes to its competitive value.
Of course the streamers are. And regardless, SF2 (Rather, SSF2THDR) is still played at top level, and people travel world wide to play it. Smash64, on the other hand, is barely played by the people who cared. HDR was also remade with HD sprites, rebalancing, and is supported by its parent company. So technically, it's a decade newer than 64 at this point. Bad example.
And Graphics DO mean crap. If they didn't and old metagames were viable, we'd all be playing SC1 and Halo 2.

of course you don't, you don't play the game and have no actual interest in it
it's a great game and the reason you would expose it is so non-believers would give it a chance rather than writing it off for ridiculous reasons like graphics and age
surely people won't rise up in protest if nothing else exciting is happening and the 64 grand finals get 20 minutes of airtime (though i somewhat doubt this will occur) - the game is quite colourful and there's a punishment factor that easily matches mvc3 (dunno bout ultimate)
older games go out of circulation for accessibility and popularity reasons, not because of graphics >_>
And there is plenty of reason not to show it.
- It hasn't capped yet, and AllBrawl has. All Brawl has 15 more entrants as well. We're not showing AllBrawl, because despite its popularity (Though slim), the world doesn't care.
- The game itself is old, and unbalanced. The stream during SCR blew up Blazblue, a game that is still played competitively by thousands around the world for thousands of dollars. You expect people react well to a game like 64?
- A great portion of the players there have no interest in Smash as a whole, let alone the least interesting, and least popular entry in the series.
- Even the majority of Melee/Brawl players hate 64. Some play it for fun, but how many players would want to watch it.
The list carries on. It's a dead game. >_> We would gather more interest for Minus.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, MIIIIIIIINUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSS
I can't even fathom how to respond to this without getting banned.
Jesus ****ing christ. You're really ignorant and uninformed. Comparing the original Smash game with a Brawl mod. Are you serious? Whatever. It's not a Smash tournament like you said. So it doesn't matter.
lol what smash 64 is unbalanced? in what way? the characters in this game are more balanced than melee and brawl.
also, prove that the majority of melee and brawl players hate 64. most of the brawl and melee players i know enjoy it and are willing to play friendlies.
