LOCATION

Yan's and My Place
2131 E. 10th St #2
Tempe, AZ 85281

Please don't use a GPS navigation system (or Google Maps or Mapquest) to get to my address. It'll route you through a permanently closed gate.

From ASU: go east on University, turn right just before you get to Price Rd/101 (into the Jack in the Box plaza). The condo complex is in the back corner of that plaza. Go into the condo complex and follow the road all the way to the back gate. I live in the building to the right of the back gate, in the back, away-from-the-gate corner.

From the 101: take the University exit and turn west. Turn left immediately into the Jack in the Box plaza. The condo complex is in the back corner of that plaza. Go into the condo complex and follow the road all the way to the back. I live in the building to the right of the back gate, in the back, away-from-the-gate corner.

Parking: Most of the parking are assigned spaces to residents, but there are a bunch of visitor spots around the complex. Here is a map of them. Pretty much any space marked "Visitor" (usually with a yellow curb) is fair game, as are any of the spots by the pool.

By Orbit: Take the Orbit Mercury line to Escalante Center (it picks up around College & 6th at ASU, I think). Head east a tiny bit and you'll see a gate closing off a condo complex to your left. There is a human-sized door in the left part of the gate that's usually open. If it's closed, give me a call

Is mid tier tourney going to have an entry fee or what?

And copy-paste kiras directions from other thread, they were a lot more useful than the ones you have XD.

Hope i dont move before this thing. It looks like an awesome final AZ Tournament
EDIT: WTF you realize that one of your rules for the Mid tier tournament says that Meta knight is allowed.......... Fix it. Also which tiers are allowed? C only?

Those aren't the mid tier tourney rules, those are the general brawl rules...

And I he said either B and C or B, C, and D.

Dibs on zamus.

60 ledge grab rule is only if timer runs out, like it was at active gamers right?

No pictochat.
and yea its gonna be B through D tier

also ill probably lower the ledge count and it'll be no matter what, not only if the timer runs out, to prevent planking/stalling.
but.... if your not timing it's not really stalling ><

Guess I'll have to be careful cause I'm pretty sure I hit 50 in some of my games at active gamers. It's just I didn't time so it didn't matter...

i plan to go if the melee turnout is good and if it has it's own day which it looks like it does.

edit/ I don't care if he's E or F tier or whatever, I want to enter Brawl mid-tier tournament with Captain Falcon.

Sense the thread is already dead, I'll try to resurrect it. There was talk about a power ranking, who is going to be on it, and how is it going to work?

we are going to have panelists and are going to rank people depending on tourney performance and who they beat/lose to

i think top 5 is going to be in no order

wobbles, me, jard, light, and chris

6-10 so far to me looks like

kira, duff, darkshifter,forward and probably hades i believe

but i think the panelists are going to be wobbles, chris, and jard

and once light and kira move that leaves 2 open spots as well

Dont just "wish" you were good

I was downright horrible at this game like 3-4 months ago, and I started figuring out why I was doing so bad. You just gotta have the dedication and desire. Go to tournaments and just play a ton of good people and lose a million times. Its takes a ton of losses to start generating wins!

I feel like smash again for some stupid reason. Maybe it's because I haven't played in forever, maybe it's because this tournament is like 10 minutes from my place, but I think I'll come.


Only do you think that we could try getting the tournament running on time? I could even help, I don't care. It's just that I can't stay up too late on a Sunday (I know, boring stuff like work in the morning) and I'd really like to do singles and doubles. (Coty... Eh? Come on...)

yea you'll win for sure if you use MK

being a smart player has nothing to do with it
maybe just a tad little intelligence

just know when to spam nadoe and up b at the right time oh and if fsmash or dsmash misses DSMASH DSMASH DSMASH !

<3 MK

j/k he does take skill but with all his options you can figure out how not to be predictable unlike Snake who everybody or most people have figured out by now

but yea I would place at least 5th at tournies with Olimar but once I switched to Snake/MK/DDD I placed higher just playing matchups pretty much picking the better character I was more comfortable beating my opponent with

He got 9th... either he played horrible or the other top players are reading him.
Marth is seeming to be a tough match up for Snake now a days and Falco has always been a really bad match up

Ally is the BEST Snake but Snake does have little options in some situations and other characters can abuse that especially once you learn the spacing of Snakes moves and keep him pressured there isn't much he can do especially once he is in the air or off the edge
