Colorado Smash - MVG Presents: REVELATION 2 - MIDWEST NATIONAL! MVG QUALIFIER! May 16-17

[deepseadiva]

So hey, people who care about Brawl rules - remember when I brought up the seven starter stages thing? Whatcha all think:

Battlefield
Final Destination
Yoshi's Island (Brawl)
Smashville
Pokemon Stadium 1
Lylat Cruise
Delfino Plaza/Halberd

The additions in blue. We just have to choose between Delfino and Halberd. Personally, I'd say we go with Halberd. My thinking is, what would affect stocks more: a constant low ceiling and obvious hazards or
walls, walkoffs, and water?

We'd stage-strike like this too: 1-2-2-1, instead of this: 1-1-1-1-1-1. For speed!

It would add some cool variety to all the starting matches and it'd make starting matches more fair-er, IMO of course.

 

[Timotee]

Hmmm, interesting. I'd be up for it, and vote for halberd as well. I seem to recall this conversation happening about 1 year ago though...

 

[Ryyudo]

As do I Tim.

If I had to add in stages, I would put in Delfino and Halberd. I've had, and seen, way too many recovery problems on Lylat for it to be unbiased, and therefore, neutral.

Personally, I am fine with the original five-sies though.

I vote Lylat and Halberd, but Meno, weren't we also talking about making it so you can ban two stages? I thought that was part of the appeal.

Personally, I'd fully support taking PS1 off of neutral and replacing it with Delfino. I really really really hate that stage.

 

[ZeroXMachine]

[InterimOfZeal]

No one wants a Melee tournament this weekend?

 

[Judo Chop Action Super Buddha]

friendlies are just as good

 

[YangFuShang]

oh yeah and fort collins was fun thanks for hosting 9000

 

[InterimOfZeal]

Good luck, Yang.

I guess I should make the post that reminds everyone about the gas money for Genesis, huh?

I'll update the front page later with a tracker or something like that.

Anyone wanna play Melee today? Call me or something.

 

[InterimOfZeal]

Too lazy to edit, we need 6-8 brawl set-ups for the springs.

Me
Tim
Jamz
Heibrahi

Are the standard, I think? Yang, Ferdi, anyone else able to provide?

 

[Underload]

@Underload, yeah sorry I couldn't remember your smashboards name, I remembered your avatar though, so carry a picture of your avatar around with you.

Aye aye, captain. I'll get a t-shirt made with my avatar pasted all over it or something. Maybe a hat or something... Also, your TL is SO ****ING GOOD >>;

Anyway,

1. I won't be going to Springs. My parents probably won't let me go to Ft. Collins 1 week and then Springs the week after. Besides, I'm watching the Speed Gamers marathon, if anyone knows what that is. 3 stock the out of staters from New Mexico (I think?) and then rub their nose in it.

2. Halberd is more neutral because less characters have a blatant advantage on there than on Delfino (See: Dedede). Walkoffs are mostly a no-no since they cause a lot of gimps, which we don't want in a neutral stage obviously. There's one walkoff on Halberd, which lasts all of 10 seconds. The two biggest hazards (claw and laser) are easily avoidable, and the laser can be DI'ed out of if you were to get hit.

Battlefield
Final Destination
Smashville
Yoshi's Island (Brawl)
Lylat Cruise
Pokemon Stadium 1
Halberd

 

[MoblinMan]

I HATE lylat. No way is that stage neutral.

I'm all for delfino and Halberd though. And PS1, that's probably my favorite stage overall tbh.

 

[Fluxus]

I can bring setup for Springs, just not a TV, that ok?

Also, are we having teams for sure in the Springs???

 

[Timotee]

my wii will only work if we find it an actual copy of brawl, not a burned disc. Just keep that in mind, Tony el tigre.

 

[InterimOfZeal]

Yeah, we're having teams for sure. We don't need TVs, just wiis with the game.

Tim, we can use my copy. Just make sure to bring your wiimote, since someone took all mine. Prolly Nite, that jewish *******.

 

[Underload]

Someone tell me how to convince my parents to drive me all the way to Colorado Springs from Denver and wait until 9:00 at night before taking me back, all without making them go nuts. Otherwise, I'm out on this one.

 

[Timotee]

tell them to let you ride with people they haven't met! Strangers, as it were!

 

[Underload]

I have a secret, shhhh...

My parents don't know I play smash. I think of other reasons whenever I go to tournies. For example, at the EFL tourney in February, I told my parents I was going to go watch indie flicks with my friends at the Starz Film Center.

My parents are a bit gullible and believe me on a lot of things. But, what kind of excuse can I think of when they'll probably see rugged ol' Tim driving the car. They'll want to talk to the people in the car, and most of you are over 16. Not very reassuring for foreign, overprotective parents. 14 year old johnz.

 

[Cliche-Guevara]

Just tell them you need to go buy drugs, and haveing them interogate the people in the car would ruin your business deals.

That or tell them to calm the **** down.

 

[Ryyudo]

You gotta lie to your parents about playing video games competitively?

 

[Underload]

I'll talk to my dad tomorrow, since he's the more reasonable of the two.

Yeah, my parents really don't care for me playing video games.

 

[Fluxus]

Lol, I'm a little amused.

 

[YangFuShang]

I'll talk to my dad tomorrow, since he's the more reasonable of the two.

Yeah, my parents really don't care for me playing video games.

tell them that youd rather play video games than do drugs.

-video games, my anti-drug

or show them this picture

 

[Timotee]

I'm not rugged anymore, I shaved =(

Tell them we're going to the Springs to learn about being conservatives. Or, if they're liberal, that we're going there to study conservatives.

 

[spiritdragon]

This falco flowchart is exact

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=233361

 

[Timotee]

I like the shiek one, and the kirby one. Falco is too correct, though.

 

[Cliche-Guevara]

I'm contemplating making a Yoshi one,

But I don't have enough tissues that will stop my tears after I do.

 

[InterimOfZeal]

Steve, you don't know enough about Melee Yoshi, in all honesty.

Though I imagine a Yoshi flowchart would look like

CC>Dsmash
>Roll Away>Dsmash
>Spot Dodge>Dsmash

etc.

Underload, you should probably tell them that playing vidjo games IS better than doing drugs, and convince them that making connections in the NVGA will help you later in life, or something like that.

Also, intro them to Jamz/Yang/Me/Not Tim, to show how respectful our players are. To parents, anyway. Prolly don't want to show them my posts to t0mmy.

Speaking of which:

Steve, gimme the link to the OR thread. Imma go talk **** in there.

 

[Owndizzl3r_Ownag3]

i wont be able to come to the springs tournament, I have to work.

 

[Cliche-Guevara]

We don't have a thread, they just basically hang out on AiB all the time and post **** in one of the too many PacNW groups.

 

[spiritdragon]

they just basically hang out on AiB

aha

ahhHHAHHHAHHA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Personally, I'd fully support taking PS1 off of neutral and replacing it with Delfino. I really really really hate that stage.

I love PS1! D:

Anyways, two stage bans would work - but, I think only with an awesome full stage list (like with Pirate Ship and Luigi's Mansion back). Otherwise, we'd just be cutting down too much on stage CPing think.

Could we expand the list and receive two bans in exchange...? I'd personally love that. The extra ban would give us enough safety we could bring back Pirate Ship and Luigi's with little problem...

If not, then I'd still go for 7 starters.

And guys Lylat is soooo a starter. It's just a tilting Battlefield. Aim an inch higher.

On Halberd vs Delfino (or vs Castle Siege if we really wanted), I still think:

low ceiling and obvious hazards > walls, walkoffs, and water.

 

[Timotee]

Wow. That video is too amazing.

 

[Judo Chop Action Super Buddha]

hey anyone wanna smash today

 

[Cliche-Guevara]

Lylat owns the space animals, as the tilting stage means teh auto snap range is hella ****ed up and characters like wolf / Falco / Zelda need that to recover safely.

 

[Ryyudo]

And guys Lylat is soooo a starter. It's just a tilting Battlefield. Aim an inch higher.

If you wanna sideways recover, and you don't wanna risk getting edge guarded, you are NOT going to be concerned about aiming an inch higher. Nor am I going to risk some character's other recovery to make sure I'll eventually (or hopefully) grab the ledge and also risk being super easily edged. I just have had way too many problems on that stage. It was about the only reason I went R.O.B. on 9000 last tournament, which thankfully, turned out for the better.


BTW: That video was all sorts of incredible. And I don't even play Team Fortess! (I have it though!?)
