Aug. 16th-17th: Low Tier City 2! PREREG ENDS TONIGHT Sethlon, Mew2King, Westballz, Wobbles, and More

[TheFoolishPhilosopher]

I might actually have a conflict for the weekend that it is scheduled for. If I find out that I cannot attend, could I possibly get a refund or like a player transfer or something?

 

[EmLeingod]

just don't let there be a conflict

Just a reminder to book your hotel rooms! The last day to reserve a room is August 11. Just call the hotel and tell them that you're with the Tourney Locator group, and they'll give you the discounted rate of $79.99 a night.

Also, pre tournament friday will happen at 9:00! We're gonna have 2 events for friday night: a small invitational tournament to showcase all of the talnented lucario players coming to the tournament, such as ipunchkidz, frozen, and darkgun, and then a crew battle of TEXAS vs. THE WORLD! Details will come shortly

This will be at the venue in the hotel. Please note: there will be a CHECK IN Friday night! Instead of having hotel spanning lines out the door early saturday, all you have to do is show up friday night, check in and grab your badge, and then stay for friendlies/to spectate for however long you want. Check in will start at 8:30. There will be a late check in on saturday morning at 9:30, but since you probably don't want to get up that early, i would recommend coming friday night.

 

[brentosfreshness]

aw hell yes i will be there. this will be awesome

 

[TheFoolishPhilosopher]

I will definitely not be available for LTC2. Is there a possibility of a refund or am I going to have to try and sell my spot?

The TourneyLocater event link in the OP is broken. It should go to http://www.tourneylocator.com/Tourney/10353 but it instead goes to http://www.tourneylocator.com/Tourney/10348.

There are 12 days left to preregister! I know that we're all smashers, so we love to hold off on things till the last minute, but if you want to avoid ! Preregistration link is here, so be sure to register asap!

Lets talk stages. The list I have in mind is this
Starters: 5
Green Hill Zone
Dreamland
Battlefield
Smashville
PS2

Counterpicks: 9
Yoshi's Story
Wario Ware
Yoshi's Island Brawl
Skyworld
FD
Lylat
Cavern
Skyworld
Distant Planet

The stages you probably see missing are draculas, skyloft and fountain of dreams. I don't like loft because a lot of characters can circle camp/ camp one of the sides, as well as being an insanely good stage for fox, draculas is off because distant planet is similar without being quite as polarizing due to insane blastzones, and FOD is off because it doesn't offer much over yoshi's story/battlefield, and most everyone hates it anyways. I'm open to suggestions, but probably not many stages past those 3 #ripdelfino #pictochat4starter

 

[DMG]

Hey Oracle, any info for adding events once we've registered? Once I figure out a team partner, I'd like to register for that without getting charged venue twice. Ty

IF YOU HAVEN'T PREREGISTERED FOR LOW TIER CITY 2: I will be at DIME 10 this weekend taking cash registration! In addition, as long as you show up to the tournament you get a $10 discount, only paying $25 venue fee! If you want to save $10 to get into Texas' biggest melee tournament since MLG and play Mew2King, Zero, and more, then come to DIME 10 and preregister there!

Thread for dime is here

Sounds like a good idea, maybe go and get a sign printed out? Or have Gabe ask people if they want to/have already registered for LTC2 when they enter?

[DMG]

Why not have both on?

 

[EmLeingod]

Why not have both on?

I'm of the opinion less stages = better

 

[DMG]

I agree IF you're cutting out bad stages. PM actually has hope for stages compared to Melee: we should probably flow with it unless it's garbage tier like Skyloft

 

[Strong Badam]

PS1 is the only Melee stage that should 100% definitely be banned. Otherwise, I can see arguments for Dreamland and Yoshi's Story, but don't mind them being legal. FoD is clearly fine.

 

[Oracle]

I have fod off because of stage redundancy. What ive seen is that in 90% of the matchups you dont want a tri platform stage, you have to spend 2 or more bans on fod/yoshis/bf. There are obviously some differences, but for most matchups the similarity in layout and blastzone is gonna cause you to ban both, which is just a waste of a stage imo. Also I dont really like cavern, that list was a rough draft. With the overwhelming negative response i doubt it will be on in the final list.

I will be putting up a poll soon to get better numbers, but the basic 10 or so stages arent getting changed

 

[Strong Badam]

FoD is unique from the other tri-plats in that it has close side blast zones and a high ceiling, making it a good pick for characters who die early off the top yet primarily secure kills horizontally/with edgeguards, or against characters who kill primarily vertically and get killed horizontally/via edgeguards primarily. Dreamland/YS/BF have the same type of blastzone (Far/Close/Average) for each. FoD also becomes a not tri-plat part of the time, which makes it the least uninteresting/redundant among the 4 tri-plats.

 

[Oracle]

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm looking for volunteers to be pool captains! To make the event run smoothly, I want people who have some experience running tournaments to help run a pool that THEY ARE NOT IN! All you need is to be in one singles event, but not the other (IE entered in melee singles, but not PM singles). Post here or message me if you're interested!

This is in addition to the huge local scene dfw offers, players from houston, oklahoma, college station, and many more regions around the southwest. This tournament is going to be insanely stacked

 

[Strong Badam]

The only thing that could make this tournament more stacked is if POOB went!

 

[Bryonato]

I don't think Oro is going anymore.

 

[EmLeingod]

GOD DAMMIT WE KEEP LOSING PEOPLE

 

[Oracle]

Also notable: WOBBLES IS CONFIRMED! Holy crap hes teaming with westballz thats gonna be insane

 

[Element of Smash]

Is it safe to say he's coming out of retirement? Questionable, at least.

 

[Oracle]

I have another huge announcement! VGBootcamp is planning to stream Low Tier City 2! This will be the biggest stage texas smash has ever seen, and with Tourney Locator and VGBC streaming side by side, thousands will be tuning in to see LTC2!

 

[juddy96]

Is it safe to say he's coming out of retirement? Questionable, at least.

This will be 2 big events in a month he's attended. But both are in his home state. If he ventures outside of his region, I think it's official.

Also, Oracle, can you provide any kind of pre-reg numbers for PM and Melee so far?
