Brawl is Part of the 2010 MLG season: $60,000 in prizes!

[Calzum!]

Sigh Brawl...

MLG needs maylay

 

[TheStig]

when are the last 3 cities going to be announced?

 

[Tristan_win]

I can't wait to see the official MLG rule set. It could change the history of smash and I really hope it does.

 

[The MC Clusky]

I lol'd.

I just hope someone tripping doesn't ruin a Grand Finals game or something since they won't be using hacked wii's to remove it...that would suck.

IIRC MLG uses a modified form of Halo 3, but this has been done with Bungie's blessing. I highly doubt Nintendo would condone the same thing. However, it may be up to MLG on this spot. Can't say for sure.

Can anyone clarify the modified Halo 3 bit for me?

halo 3 has a feature called forge in the game, anyone can modify anything...

This makes me want to step my Tekken 6 game up as well.
But then again everyone knows Steve Fox is broken.

All items, all stages, MK is banned, best of 1 match with 6 stocks.

 

[White_Mike]

Yeah the whole Halo 3 being modded thing is no big deal because forge mode allows you to do all that legally.

Change stage spawns, game speed, gravity, weapon placement, stage structure.

If only brawl had something that in depth.

MLG picked us up in thier first season, it took yall 2 years. So no, you didn't get picked up faster.

Technically they did pick us up earlier by putting Brawl on the online circuit at Gamebattles in 08.

Anyway, I'm still excited for this. I might try to go to Meadowlands (do they still play there I forget?)

There's actually a specific reason why Brawl wasn't accepted straight off the bat and it has nothing to do with popularity or competitive viability.

Brawl wasn't accepted in its first season because of the economic downturn. It was pushed hard, but there was no getting around it.

There's a lot more to choosing a game to be on the lineup than simply picking what they think is popular. Logistically, they have to worry about shipping entirely new consoles, more TV's (and the right kinds of them).

JV made a thread about it a while ago.

oh wow really?...the economy got that bad for them huh..thats a sound decision then i mean running the type of events they do is already very pricey they have some pretty smart people managing this then.

 

[Jinxkatrina8]

Cool beans :D

Gratz brawltards Can't wait to see the ruleset!

Let's all pray that the top8 aren't all MKs also =.=

WHAT? How are either of those related?

 

[Alex Strife]

microsoft threatened mlg and forced them to have console exclusivity. Meaning that only 360 games and anything related to them would have to be played else they would pull halo ( aka their cash cow ).

After a couple of years that ended and now they are doing multiple consoles this year cause they are finally able to. they picked brawl because it is the newest version.

Its biz not favoritism or anything they did what they had to do. Melee still has tournaments and big ones in the summer.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

we should sing this while were all there

[Vyse]

The money involved. It costs more to invest in TV's designed for Wii's, Wii's and copies of the game, add to that shipping them across the country and such as well. It adds up.

When they were exclusive to the 360, they had consoles to use across several games instead of just one.

More than that though, there was no hard, solid evidence for the success of Brawl at that point. I assume MLG wanted to go with what was safe. Last year A LOT of solid data was collect. The kind that can't be ignored.

 

[NinjaFoxX]

^there's also the fact the our community practically split in half since may people felt that converting to brawl wasn't worth it. though brawl had alot of hype beforehand and likely would have been picked up if it weren't for the exclusions.(maybe)

 

[Exia 00]

Cool, congrats Brawl community

Just give me my SF4 MLG!

lol at Black Marf

Do you just make things up? O_o

 

[Kel]

How is doubles working?

 

[wakka444]

Do you just make things up? O_o

if youre referring to his post about MLGs actions when melee was dropped hes got his facts right...

I just saw the post you quoted....

Let me say right now that MLG invested WAY MORE money into Melee than we ever received in return. Do not say we milked it and then dropped it. Unfortunately as a fledgling company we had to make some tough decisions and Xbox exclusivity was one of them in order to maintain rights for titles. Now we are in a position to be console ambiguous. Please do not make blind assumptions.

 

[Niko_K]

Please let there be a Canadian date.

 

[Alex Strife]

doubles is a pot tournament


thanks for the assist wakka people do not believe me when i say things sometimes lol

 

[Pyronic_Star]

so one thing says that the online qualifier will not count until columbus... but something else says it will count for orlando... which is true?

 

[Gindler]

I hope the door fee won't be too ridiculous...

 

[So Fatal]

no door fee, you only pay for entry which wont be more than 25$

 

[PassWurD]

Just be sure to keep showing up. Don't let what happened to GoW2 happen to you. :D

 

[Arc_Revived]

So when are these qualifiers? It said registration was monday but I haven't seen any updates since

 

[TaterSalad0811]

Yeah, how exactly do you sign up?

[Kunx990]

I enjoy wifi now being taken seriously.

 

[yoshq]

i enjoy it because it amuses me...

 

[Vyse]

I enjoy wifi now being taken seriously.

As I understand it, they're only doing wifi this one time to pre-seed the players for the beginning of the season.

Otherwise we could see what happened at SNES again and have ADHD and Mew2King face off in the first round.

They can't just hold some small qualifier somewhere, logistically, it's the best way for them to do it.

 

[Overswarm]

Yeah, wifi is for scrubs. Last I checked there was some canadian snake player and some Diddy with a mental disorder winning the wifi scene LOL




-_-;;

 

[MLG_JV]

Yo in case anyone missed the bazillion other places on the boards you can see this wanted to through it in here too.

We excited to announce the passes for the first Super Smash Bros Brawl event ever to be on the Pro Circuit are on Sale Now at mlgpro.com for MLG Orlando April 16th-18th.

The key MLG staff whom has a ton of experience brining you the best competitive gaming experience out there worked closely with the Brawl Back Room and community standards to come up with a top flight ruleset for MLG Orlando. Everything is more or less set and we are just putting the final touches on. The whole thing should be up shortly.

That said I wanted to give you some information-

Metaknight will not be banned in Orlando: It was a decision that was not taken lightly. We always feel MLG brings the competition to a new level. So we wanted to give the community the opportunity to showcase their "A" game before making a decision that cannot be easily undone. So if, and when, this happens we feel we gave everything fair opportunity and are doing the right thing for the competitive nature of brawl. In addition this is not a change we would like to make mid-season. But we at MLG have always tried to do best for by the game and community competitiveness wise. So if its something that truly needs to happen, we am not completely shutting the door.

Doubles: Will absolutely happen. They will take place on Sunday (Singles will take place Friday-Saturday). We are looking at taking door registration after singles finish till the morning of with 100% cash payouts at the event. Doubles seeding will be based upon the combined total of the 1v1 players comprising the team. Full rules and details are soon to come.

 

[Atomsk_92]

You're my hero.

 

[WindMajor]

So if its something that truly needs to happen, we am not completely shutting the door.

I figured this would happen for Orlando. Can't wait!

 

[Angbad]
