Midwest [Aug 22, 2015] EXPosure 22 (Oak Park, IL)

[Hoenn]

Would someone link me to those crew battle matches whenever they are up?

And if you guys are interested, this is what I am suggesting for Pokemon XY for future events in these monthlies.. hopefully

Spoiler

For any possible future Pokemon X and Y tournament events, I'd recommend this:

Standard Singles Pokemon Battle, Each player has 6 Pokemon
Matches are only best of one, Finals matches can be best of 3 depending on how the host decides it.

No Coaching
No coaching, advising, or consulting between players is allowed during matches. Anyone found to be either giving or receiving advice will be disqualified and penalized in the standings. Collaboration on team building before the tournament is acceptable.

Clauses

The following clauses must be enabled for all matches.

Species Clause
A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
Sleep Clause
A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
Evasion Clause
A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
OHKO Clause
Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KO opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.
Self-KO clause: The player automatically loses if his last Pokémon uses Selfdestruct or Explosion. Destiny Bond and Perish Song also fail when used by the last Pokémon.

OU (This is good to some degree, but now that there's a new Generation it's outdated for the meantime)

Banned Pokemon - A team cannot have any of the Pokemon found in the following tiers: Ubers. (http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/uber)
Banned Abilities - A team cannot have a Pokemon with any of the following abilities: Sand Veil and Snow Cloak.
Banned Items - A team cannot have the Pokemon Latias or Latios with the hold item Soul Dew on their team.
Drizzle + Swift Swim - Using both a Pokemon with Drizzle and a Pokemon with Swift Swim on the same team is banned.
Since that Ubers list doesn't have any 6th Gen Pokemon yet, Xerneas and Yveltal will definitely be joining that list of Uber Pokemon.

I'd play in a pokemon tournament. I'm IV breeding my team as we speak. I may even bring an extra friend if its at a monthly lol (Every member of my brawl crew [6 members] plays pokemon at a high level) in other words I approve

 

[Knubs.]

The VGC ruleset looks good for the Pokemon event. I hope others see it and adjust to it. I'm registering early like usual.

Well, on Wednesdays there's a Melee/PM weekly that starts at 7 with a $5 dollar venue fee and an additional $5 for any event you want to join, if any.

 

["Shion"]

Yeah, I went to their Wwednesday last night.

Nope (but it helps Bobby)

Question:

If a player used wii more + chuck, can they change up their button layout, or is it all default?

Players are allowed to change their button layout

 

["Shion"]

Thanks, man. See y'all next week.

 

[SwagTrain]

So mad I'm missing this; free $$$ in Brawl, PM, AND Pokemon? #mylife #Thanksgivingplz

 

[Hoenn]

I'm SOOOO hyped for this... All the EXPosures in the past have been amazing, and I've got a feeling that this one will be the best yet

 

[JMan8891]

Hey all. Im on leave prior to going to Japan for 3 years. A friend from Rockford told me about these. I am coming +1 for the weekly. If I can convince one more person we are going for the monthly too.

T ITS from SD. But I travelled with the few ww have at the base who play to Omaha to play MegaRobMan and his peeps. Hope to make it oit to one last tournament stateside and hope the turnout is good!

 

[grandpappy]

I'd really love to come to this, but I'm really really new to competitive Smash. So, I won't lie, it seems a bit intimidating. I think I'll step outside my comfort zone and do it (maybe) and prepare to get whooped. :D

 

["Shion"]

Do it. You might learn a thing or two.

 

[grandpappy]

That would definitely be my hope. I'm not exactly afraid of getting beat up, and I'm sure I'd learn a lot from it. I think I will come and maybe even bring a buddy or two along.

 

[Zwarm]

Don't be afraid to get beat up, it happens to the best of us, we all had to start somewhere, just come and enjoy yourself, you will definitely learn something.

And yeah, bring people, the more the merrier

 

[grandpappy]

Sweet. Yeah, I'll be there for sure. Looking forward to meeting some new people and improving my smash game.

 

[SwagTrain]

Most important part about these tournaments is meeting the swag as **** kids that go to them. Midwest Smash kids are godlike tier!

 

[DtJ XeroXen]

This will be my first Melee tournament. I'm really excited to meet the Midwest Melee guys.

 

[Fuujin]

This will be my first Melee tournament. I'm really excited to meet the Midwest Melee guys.

Xero why would you want to play this game?
It has like the most obnoxious player base of all fighting games.

NAGL

 

[DtJ XeroXen]

I played Marvel competitively for a while and I'd like to disagree.

 

["Shion"]

That include you? (Lol)

 

[Knubs.]

Looks like there's going to be even more people this time around. Can't wait.

 

[EXPGaming]

UMVC3 has been moved to Friday to allow for more space and time for Smash on Saturday.
If we are on/ahead of schedule then PM CREWS will take the open time slot.

Setups equal discounts. First come first serve.
PLEASE TALK TO THE STAFF BEFORE BRINGING CRTS INTO THE VENUE! WE DON'T WANT UNUSED CRTS TAKING UP SPACE. THANK YOU!

 

[voorhese]

sup nerds. Imma bop everyone at this for sure (if I can go)

 

[DireDrop]

I'll be coming.

 

[EXPGaming]

I'll be coming.

Can you bring the capture card that Duds had last time? I'll discount you.

 

[DireDrop]

As of now, I don't know if Duds is coming. I'll ask him, otherwise I can't do anything about the capture card.

 

[EXPGaming]

It's cool I'll ask someone else. Thanks though.

 

[EXPGaming]

If you plan on attending EXPosure 5 PLEASE RSVP!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UHFQCSRpoOQohdgNa7-FSQwk_ormpsK2iuKVyIoJOTQ/viewform

Due to the large amount of people who have already RSVP'd we will be doing Melee and PM Pools before the brackets.

Marvel has been moved to Friday to allow for more space and time for Smash.

I will do my best to keep things moving along properly but be aware that the events may run late. Closing time for EXP is obviously very flexible so we will be able to complete all the scheduled events.

 

["Shion"]

Are we allowed to smoke some hard kush? O.o

 

[Scythe]

Uh what LOL
