Apex 2014 - January 17-19, 2014 - Somerset, NJ

[Skrlx]

I honestly think it's going to be partly due to the fact that smash 4 will be out by 2015. Apex runs 4 smash games on top of other FGC games. With smash 4, there'll be way too many events, so they'd be cutting an event, and since Strife was "sadden" by the 64 community, 64 is the one getting axed. Good thing after Apex I won't be playing 64.

 

[weedwack]

I dont think we owe Strife an apology at all. Members of our community were unhappy with the way things were being run, and they voiced their opinions. Some of the more moronic members or our community somehow made the debate personal, but they do not represent the 64 community. Let them apologize for themselves. The 64 community is cool as hell.

Alex Strife, part of being a leader is dealing with the controversy that inevitably arises from the decisions you make. If what you really care about is providing the best possible experience for you patrons, you won't let the pressure of being in charge deter you from hosting the tournament that has become the pulse of the 64 scene.

 

[Alex Strife]

im being emo don't listen to 90% of what i say if i post stuff like that...im going thru a lot sorry

 

[The Star King]

I kind of doubt the complaints were the only reason for cutting it out.

Anyway, I assure you that everybody is very grateful to you for hosting these tournaments, Alex. Even the loud minority which has certain complaints about the tournament. It doesn't mean they won't enjoy the tournament as a whole.

 

[Alex Strife]

Acutally it was.

I was really fed up and I felt like ppl were very ungrateful. TBH I am going thur a lot and I have been trying to help make this go well.

Sorry I am like this.

 

[Han Solo]

I never personally attacked anyone.

 

[Karajan]

Aw sweet! Now we can have our own tournament next year. I say we look for a venue in FL or southern CA so we can all enjoy the weather. If I get enough interest I could also host a tournament at a hotel or something in NH.

 

[Yobolight]

Im confused.... is 64 banned next year or not?

 

[bloodpeach]

Let's make this current Apex the best it can be before we start worrying about the next one. Apex 2015 is a long way away and they will be plenty of time to worry about it later.

Also, none of this blame shifting is constructive.

 

[weedwack]

Wasn't talking about you solo. I love you for your commitment and also to spite yobo.


Alex, please postpone this decision until the drama of apex is over. Doesn't seem necessary or prudent to decide while the feelings are fresh.

 

[SheerMadness]

I was the one who brought it up.

 

[weedwack]

Legendary bean spill

 

[Skrlx]

Sheer is just as guilty as Han Solo then. Sheer will be required to wear a sign at Apex that reads: "I got Smash 64 removed from Apex. Ask me why."

 

[Han Solo]

Yobolight is an objectively bad person.

 

[Yobolight]

^^^ Ok buddy, I am not going to get drawn into some online flame war with you.

 

[weedwack]

I wouldn't go that far.

He is a gifted Jimmie Rustler though.

And fun to yell at.

GOD DAMNIT YOBO just rolls off the tongue so smooth.

M3GAV0LT WITH THE LAST SeCOnD REGISTRATIoN touchdownnnnnnn

 

[SheerMadness]

Dictatordude got in there last minute too.

 

[SSB64-Jel]

Lets not jump to anything yet Apex 2014 has not even happend yet. And Apex 2015 is yet to even be announced.

No matter what happens I do wish to thank Alex Strife for hosting SSB and helping grow are community. SSB has growin much more in Wa due to Apex and the hype that it brings and I hope SSB continues to be hosted at future Apex tournaments as it will keep growing!!.

 

[Cobrevolution]

Alright, here's the list of representatives, sorted by state, with the most-repped states coming first. I grouped the single state ones together, and anyone with an asterisk * next to their name means they are ONLY registered for 64. I believe there are over 75 people registered purely for 64.

[Cobrevolution]

excuse the double post

I get in at 4:30PM on Friday. Does anyone else getting in around that time want to ride with me? I was gonna cab it... Otherwise, could I get a ride from somebody?

tourney starts at 4pm for 64, dude. you need to message someone and ask to be in a later pool or something

 

[Olikus]

What am I wakening up to?? I don't understand. Is 64 banned next year? Lets hope not =(

 

[mixa]

This thread is not making sense. I'll be back for the stream.

 

[asianaussie]

han solo dont take my mediocre jokes

 

[Shears]

Let's make this current Apex the best it can be before we start worrying about the next one. Apex 2015 is a long way away and they will be plenty of time to worry about it later.

You can't just copy and paste your facebook post, what ever happened to the integrity and originality of the content on these boards?

hehe it might not be much of a disappointment but i won't be attending apex like i previously planned, i simply don't have the funds to commit even though i really wanted to play and meet you all :[

hopefully the news in the recent pages about Apex 2015 not having smash64 doesn't come true so i can redeem myself next year.

Same here. I really wanted to go to Apex for 64 and Project M this year, but something came up and now I have no money

Good luck to everyone, especially my florida bros.

Thank you so much. I am really confused right now... was the tournament always set to start at 4PM? I thought it started at 8PM, but now I see that's only for "Wave 2" of pools. Do you have to make it through Wave 1 of pools to get to Wave 2, or are they on the same placement tier?

 

[Cobrevolution]

the four bracket pools are independent of one another; two of them are running at a time and there's no "moving on" or anything like that. yeah it was always set for 4pm. you can request to be in a later pool because of your flight and hope they heed you.

That's how it was when it was set to 128 entrants, but I wouldn't rely too much on thinking it's going to stay like this. I'm pretty sure that the pools format is going to change to being more than just 4 pools promoting to top 8. There's no way they're going to do something ridiculous like 40 man pools promoting to top 8, so it's really likely they're going to split it up into several smaller pools that might promote into a single pool/bracket that leads to top 8. Regardless of that, I doubt that EVERYONE is going to have to play their matches starting at 4 pm because they won't do all of the pools at once like that. Like cobre said, send a request to whoever is in charge (sadly I don't know who that is) of the 64 tournament and tell them to put you in a later wave of pools.

Im going to try seeding regions then making an entire seeded list.

 

[rustyw]

Thanks fellas.

 

[Cobrevolution]

i couldn't decide if i wanted to keep it to only 64 as a smash game (thereby having you and komo on the list for 64 only) but i either forgot or was too lazy. so the criteria is: if you're signed up for 64 only OR only planning on playing 64, you get the asterisk. so sk's mistaken melee entry is nullified, but someone who's playing both street fighter and 64 wouldn't get it.

well ideally with chain ace/nintendude handling brackets they'll try to spread the regions out so there's greater diversity. i've always liked that about chain ace's tourneys. unfortunately with as many people as this it's somewhat inevitable that people who play often are going to meet in bracket.

also are the adapters all good? are they xbox compatible, lagless, easier to transport, require a small folding table like for tv dinners, that sort of thing?

also please let me know about the boomfan situation

 

[Karajan]

Someone will need to bring a small computer monitor that takes digital input because one of my lcd screens that I got is defective. I'll know about xbox this weekend.
