[CloudChaser071]

If you can, give it to someone else.

I currently have 4 CRT's in my apartment :/

 

[Z'zgashi]

You should come hand deliver the TV to me, I only live like, 8-10 hours away, easy.

 

[dettadeus]

Might be able to nab it tomorrow, depends on if my parents don't have an issue with it.

Cool, tell me the time/details when you get them. I can help you load it. It's very heavy.

yoooooooooooooooooooooo

Come one, come all! It's been a while since I hosted a smashfest, and since it's just two days after my 18th birthday (and I have the following Monday and Tuesday off school) I decided to host a huge party, centered mostly around Smash.

However, this being a Fest and not a tournament like the Summit events, things are gonna run a bit differently.

MAIN EVENTS:
Brawl Tournament (Singles definitely, possibly Doubles)
Project: M Tournament (Singles definitely, maaaaayyyyyybbbeeeee Doubles if we have enough time and setups)
MAAAYYYYBBBEEEE a Melee Tournament?

OTHER EVENTS/GAMES:
Whatever you want! I'm going to try and run a sort of Bring-Your-Own-Game thing; if you come with a full setup, which includes a game (most preferably multiplayer; I don't think most people want to watch speed-runs or playthroughs in person), the console the game is on, a TV, and (if necessary) additional controllers, then people can play it! If there's enough interest for a particular game and enough time and setups to accommodate, then perhaps a small bracket can be made for it as well (looking at you, SSB64). I personally have Kirby Air Ride, Star Fox Assault, and Pikmin 2 as other viable multiplayer games.

SCHEDULE:
To keep things moving quickly and smoothly, and to leave ample time for other games to be played, entry for the main events will begin at 1 PM. If you plan to enter a Smash tournament, PLEASE try to show up around this time. Shouldn't be too hard since it's an hour after Summit entry usually starts, and most people don't miss that. Obviously not all the main events will start at this time (I will probably start the Brawl Singles bracket by 2 at the latest, the others I expect will be smaller and so can start later), but arriving early will allow everyone to get out earlier (or leave more time for friendlies and other events!)
I will probably have to kick everyone out (or forcefully suggest they leave) around 1AM at the latest. Unlike FoCo Fest there won't be a 3AM IHOP/other open-past-midnight eating establishment run.

MONEY STUFF:
I will be running a $5 venue fee, just like Summit 6; however, the discounts will be slightly different and it's likely most of the money will be going to pizza or snacks.
Complete Brawl/P:M Setup: $2 off Venue Fee (this includes a TV and a Wii with Brawl and Project: M)
Complete Melee Setup: $1 off Venue Fee (this includes a TV and a GameCube/Wii with Melee)
If you bring a TV, Wii with Brawl and P:M, and either a Melee disc + memory card or especially a GameCube along with it, you won't need the second TV to get both discounts.
All Main Events will be $5 per person (which means Doubles are $10 per team) and will have a 60/30/10 split. Singles will be Double Elimination, while Doubles will probably be Round Robin.

Address is 5345 Holmes Place, Boulder CO 80303.
Coming off US 36, get onto Foothills Parkway, take a right on Baseline, a left onto 55th street, a left onto White Place, and a right at the stop sign.
Coming off CO-119 (the Diagonal Highway) you'll get right onto Foothills Parkway, then take a left on Arapahoe, a right onto 55th Street, a right onto White Place, and a right at the stop sign.
You'll see a cul-de-sac and a white house with a white, deteriorating mailbox out front; this is the place. Try not to park in the driveway in case we need to grab food or something.

o/

Saw you on CO Smash on Facebook.

Unfortunately, there's very little that is said here on the boards. A little tidbits here and there, but all the information mentioned here is on the Facebook group.

[dettadeus]

the OP of this thread is the easiest place to find archived information though, like the PR, tournament results, etc

 

[OPTKeyo]

Is this upcoming tournament on the 16th in Boulder some kind of invitational thing? My two friends and I play Melee (not at a professional level though lol) and began Project M about a month ago. I've never been to a tournament so it just sounded pretty cool to go to! Also, I kinda wanted to see if we're decent at all haha. What are the chances of having Melee there? And can we enter in both Melee and Project M?

Oh, and apparently this is a fest rather than a tournament? What's the difference between the two? I'm not very experienced with the terminology :\

 

[CloudChaser071]

Fest = Friendly gathering.

Tournament = Bring your A game.

 

[dettadeus]

There will be $5 tournament brackets for pretty much every Smash game though.

 

[OPTKeyo]

Oh, chill. Thanks a lot! We'll try to make it since it's not far from us at all lol.

 

[Rizen]

Good stuff at Detta's tourney CO ! Will people with replays of my (Rizen tag) characters please upload them and PM me? Thanks.
Great work hosting Detta . Weekly SFests would be awesome.

No one looks at this so I won't leave shoutouts. You're all awesome. I got enough sleep for once.
I got good Link rep; he's bad but not as free as people think. I got Detta's ICs to the last stock after SDing , ROB last stock on RC after the wall pin and (What's his name, 2nd placer's) TL to game 3, losing on a bad stage. Maybe next tourney I'll use my other characters too

[dettadeus]

Gonna have a bunch of matches uploaded within the next week or two, prioritizing the tourney ones then I'll do friendlies/seriouslies.

 

[Bees!]

Smashoryukenboards.com looks pretty good. And by pretty good I mean the same layout as SRK used before they updated their layout last week. XD

 

[Zajice]

Now we have two facebooks.

 

[Rizen]

Thanks for hosting and uploading Detta
Man, I did not play well in the actual tourney :/

Stupid site, I can't find this thread unless there's new posts.

For going all link you did pretty dang well.

Also I just watch the threads I check often, saves me a lot of scrolling/loading time.

 

[Zajice]

Click "There may be more to view." in your watched threads to see ones without new posts.

 

[Rizen]

^okay, thanks.

I choked too much on some of those. I can do better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iPYdD_Xl_A
But that means I'll have to come to more offline stuff and get over it

 

[-Mars-]

Hey guys. I know we flaked on you guys the last couple of times but you guys should come to this tourny:

http://smashboards.com/threads/332217/

We're hoping to make it pretty huge would be awesome if some other states were able to make it out.

 

[Ken Neth]

Yeah you guys should come out, it would be sweet to see the CO smashers again. It's been too long!

 

[dettadeus]

we'll come if you guys come out to Z4 ;P

 

[Ken Neth]

when is it? I wouldnt mind coming if I can.

[Rizen]

maybe i should actually upload those results

hmmmmmmm

Cool. Can you upload the replay of me (Link) vs Samus first? I'm arguing Link and Samus are even atm. (inb4 I see how bad it was played :/ )

Thanks


PS
The TV went to the trash :[

 

[Sunnysunny]

The battle of the z-airs!

 

[Ken Neth]

Hey Colorado,

Ever wish you could play against M2K? I know you do.

Well he just confirmed to come to our tourney in May. So you should all come out.

It's going to be an awesome tournament, and there's a current pot bonus guaranteed of $150 and that'll go up with more people. (32 people is at $250 bonus, and really how hard is it to get 32 people to such an awesome tournament? Also, the bonuses apply to both brawl and melee)

http://www.saltfest.org/

The smash tournaments are going to be on saturday May 11th, but there are a bunch of other tournaments you guys can check out too.

 

[Rizen]

It's funny how the only current offline Link vs ZSS vids are wifis.

Give me offline videos of Link mains doing CURRENT stuff to good samus players. lol its not that hard dude.

lol :/

 

[Rizen]

It's funny how the only current offline Link vs ZSS vids are wifis.

lol :/

So tell me when the Link vs Samus replay is up. Thanks.

(Dang I thought I hit edit :/ )

 

[Sinister Slush]

wut
Did you accidentally quote Xyro in the Link vs Samus thread for the MU chart project and post it here?

 

[Rizen]

Quote>copy>came here>clicked where edit used to be because I wasn't thinking. :/

 

[MegaRobMan]

(This is posted because I realized you guys aren't filed in the Midwest section and are called Southwest.)

So I'm not sure if you guys just run off facebook or whatever or what, but I hope you had previously been informed that you have been a part of the KS/IA/MO/NE/CO Midwest Get Hype! Circuit, and your event, Z4 on June 1st is the last leg of the circuit before the championship event in Kansas. I wanted to do this on smashboards at least, and I had heard that there was supposed to be a car from CO coming to Lux's last event but it didn't come due to some problems with said car.

http://smashboards.com/threads/the-...h-wichita-ks-150-bonus-after-2-events.332584/

To keep you in formed.

The next event is March 30th in Wichita, KS, and we even added this event to give you guys a chance to get to something closer to you outside of your own event.

http://smashboards.com/threads/idsp...rid-debris-march-30th-2013-wichita-ks.334425/

The event after that is April 20th in Omaha, NE. You have a chance to pick the 9th stage for brawl and the 7th stage for doubles in melee.

http://smashboards.com/threads/mwgh...-to-mjg-part-2-april-20-2013-omaha-ne.333458/

Brawl

Melee

I expect to see Rizen at least. Especially if Norfair is legal.

 

[Jorgeme]

Thanks for telling us. Yes we are mostly on facebook, and Lux has been keeping us informed about the circuit.

 

[Ken Neth]

So is anyone in CO interested in coming out to that tourney? It's looking like it's gonna be a good tourney.

I know most of CO is only on facebook, could someone post about it on there for me just to see if anyone else is interested?
