On Sept. 4th through 6th, The Cape will be passing through Cleveland so we're going to get a Brawl+ / Melee fest together for that Saturday (possibly spilling over to Sunday if there's interest).

Tourney time!

LOCATION: We'll be taking over the Fribley Fireside Lounge and the adjacent room (211). This should be sufficient space for up to 50 people, and should fit 10-12 setups nicely.

Fribley Commons
2315 Murray Hill Road.
Cleveland, OH 4416


PARKING & HOUSING:

Housing: Campus Housing has 11 extra rooms for guys available and 5-6 extra rooms for girls available. The cost for renting a room and security card is $31 per night for a double and $33.50 per night for a single. Reservations can be made HERE. There are other hotels on or around campus, but they will not be nearly as cheap or safe as this option.

Please note your Group Affiliation as "CWRU Games Club" in the reservation.

Alternatively, we can also scrounge a few places on various floors amongst my and my friends' places. While renting a room is easiest for me, I'll try to accommodate everyone that I can. :)

Please let me know in a post what your intentions are so that I can plan accordingly.


Parking: A day long parking pass for the garage at 115th can be obtained (only if you let me know in advance) for $7, or you can get a week long pass for $17.50 if you're a big spendah. I should note that the parking at 115th and housing are on the opposite side of campus from the venue, which is about a 20 minute walk.

I apologize for this inconvenience, but it's the best I can do. You're also welcome to try and get parking in the Veale lot near the venue and pay (an unknown amount) by the hour.

Here's a rough map of what I'm talking about.


PM me if you have additional questions.

SCHEDULE:

Registration & Setup begins at 10am. Friendlies will commence for 2 hours.

Singles will begin promptly at Noon.

Doubles will begin shortly after completion of singles.

I have these two rooms reserved until 10pm, although I don't think they will be anyone there to kick us out if we run over. Regardless, I'd like to keep this tourney running smoothly and in good timing if at all possible.

COST:

Singles = $5

Doubles = $5 (each)


Venue is free. As this is partly a campus event, I'd like people to be able to watch and get involved socially. This may ultimately even attract more local people for Money Matches or to join the tourney.

-We'll be playing with a polished version of the current 5.0 set. The current (unpolished) 5.0 set can be found HERE.


W.I.P. RULES (Mostly courtesy of Chibo):

  • There are no refunds
  • Whether you are in the tourney or not, you must pay the venue fee
  • I will be loading all of the codes myself
  • Trash talking is allowed, and is encouraged! We love the hype! However, please do not distract the players too much at their discretion. Respect their right to focus on a match.
  • Any destruction of anyone's property at the venue will not be tolerated, and in the case of such an event, you will be asked to leave.
  • No drugs, alcohol, or any crap like that in there. If you have any, you will be kicked out.
  • Other standard rules apply



  • SINGLES
    Any of these are subject to change before the tournament!
  • 4 Stocks
  • 8 Minute Time Limit
  • No Items
  • If you need to add your name to change your controls, please remember to do so, and do it quickly. You can not quit in the middle of a match if you realize your controls are wrong.
  • First round consists of all characters being chosen by a blind pick. The first stage will then be determined by a stage strike method. Players take turn striking out neutral stages until only one stage remains, which is the stage that is played. After the first match is over, each player bans one stage that can not be used in counterpicks.
  • Match two/three will first consist of the previous loser picking a stage, then the previous winner picking their character, and finally the previous loser picking their character.
  • The Cape Rule: "If someone breaks Cape's stuff he will tear out your intestines, strangle you with them, and then stuff them down their throats"
  • You may not counterpick a stage you have already won on earlier that set.
  • Neutral Stages:
    [o] Final Destination
    [o] Battlefield
    [o] Smashville
    [o] Yoshi's Island (Brawl)
    [o] Pokemon Stadium 2
    [o] Wario Ware
  • Counterpick Stages:
    [o] Lylat Cruise
    [o] Delfino Plaza
    [o] Frigate Orpheon
    [o] Battleship Halberd
    [o] Castle Siege
    [o] Yoshi's Island (Melee)
    [o] Corneria
    [o] Rainbow Cruise
    [o] Brinstar
    [o] Pokemon Stadium
  • If there is a dispute over controller ports, play Rock Paper Scissors for it (best 2 out of 3, no items, FD only).
  • Suicide Move Rules: (all situations are when both players are at 1 stock)
    [o] If a player successfully ends the match with either Bowser or Ganondorf's over B attack by suicide, then the player who initiated the move wins.
    [o] If a player ends the match by swallowing with Kirby or DDD and falling off the stage and the game counts it as a tie, the player who initiated the swallow move wins. If the player who was swallowed is shown as winning the match (in the instance the broke out right before they died which some people might not notice), then they win.


    Doubles
  • Same standard rules and stages as singles.
  • Chibo's Color-Blind Rule: If a player on a team is using a character that might make it tough to determine the teams color (like Sonic, Lucario, or Pokemon Trainer), either team is allowed to request control of a certain color (for themselves or their opponent) to help lessen confusion. In a disagreement, go by rock paper scissors.
  • Stock sharing is allowed.
  • Team Attack is on.
SETUPS

Currently we have 3 definite setups -- Mine, Cape's, and another CWRU student's. I will update this with more setups, as I know of several that we can use. Additionally, I will look into operating the projector / testing its lag.



Currently Interested:

Cape
SHeLL
GoG
Falco400 aka SMK
5ive / Toronto scene
King Beef
Sakuraba Neku
Zozma / Erie scene
jokey665
cAm8000 and friend
Earth Swords Man 009
GirugaMarc
Kaotical

Also I know I can scrounge at least 3-4 close friends, possibly as many as 15-20+ other CRWU-ers... I'm talking to a game club here. Looks like we've got at least 25 people down.



Get Hyped.

Just to add to the OP, we're trying to get some of Canada to come (mainly Toronto+ and perhaps some of Montreal.. maybe.. I'm hoping). So it could get decently sized, maybe NYC if there's enough people that show interest in coming.

Point is, this is hype and we need a bunch of people to come, so please? :)

Nice, just a 20 min drive. At the moment it looks like I can make it to this. It'll be nice to unwind from all of that Brawl for once. I'm itching to break out the spacies and Falcon again. :)

I go to college with SHeLL and I'll be attending and hope to bring several friends as well. There was a vanilla Brawl tournament last semester on campus with a pretty big turnout so we might be looking at a rather large turnout, especially since it's the beginning of the year. Right now we're discussing which would be the best place to hold it (we have several ideas already) and if I can I'll bring a couple friends from Erie who may be interested.

This looks pretty cool, but for us NY'ers to travel out there for a fest, when we always throw smashfests at least twice a week here? eh...

Also, this is fairly close after SNES, an event for which my wallet may take a heavy beating, so yeah..

If this is turns to at least a moderately-sized prize tournament, I might reconsider though.

I might be able to get one of my friends to come to this who is the person I've been playing Brawl+ with. Dunno how interested he would be though. Also, I'm not sure if that first sentence actually makes sense and/or is coherent.

Also also, GOD PIES!! :)

If your mother drops you off for registration I can meet you outside and personally escort you into the Ball Room / Lounge, where there will be countless noble souls to watch over you.

When you're ready to leave, she can pull up to the front and I will again personally escort you to the car. I have mace, and I can bring Cape -- he's trained in killing people.

:p

Housing is unlikely, but possible. The majority of people here are college students such as myself, who don't have the luxury of extra space that houses provide. I have one extra couch, and Cape's taking that.

I will look into finding a good, cheap hotel that I can recommend. If people here in Cleveland have houses and want to host, holler and I'll throw you in the OP.

Edit: Perhaps start by taking a look HERE, although that's probably mostly expensive stuff.

The actual tourney won't be at my appartment. We'll probably have some friendlies at my place the night before / following day, but otherwise I'm trying to reserve a baller room on campus today.

Haha oh yeah, East Cleveland is horrible. Neku's mom is probably just using that "bad neighborhood" as an excuse because she's afraid of "strangers" being with her son. The area around the clinic isn't that bad at all... I've been down there plenty of times. Hell, I've gone past there before when my dad had me go to work with him a few times when I was younger.

Your mom is just way overprotective rofl. Not even my mom would give me that excuse.

Bad neighbourhood?
Did you see the picture of Shells place on Google maps? Looks pretty safe to me.

lol Montreal is complaining that it's too far for a smashfest, which I understand. Make a 5 dollar entry tourney and they'll probably come.
