It's a possibility. I'm not certain how any setups are dedicated to Brawl full time. There's always a few 2am pickup tournaments that get going

Good, I want to play in like all of them.

 

[Big Bob]

I have nothing to do tonight. Anybody want to come to my apartment on UTD to play a few matches? I don't have a lot of room; I'd probably only want 3 visitors maximum. PM me if you want to come, and I'll tell you my apartment number.

 

[felix45]

@bob - protip: posting at 6:30 at night saying people can come over means you wont get more than 1 or 2 if you are lucky.
no need to limit the amount, you already did that by giving people no time to plan whether or not they'd like to go.

just for future reference.

 

[Big Bob]

Eh, it was more a "I'm bored, let's see if this works" thing rather than expecting to get actual results.

Welcome To The Woooorld Of Tomorrow

 

[Sand-Trap]

So, I hear there are some people going to the Akon tournamentastic.

Some quick information:

Yes, it is single elimination. I know, that makes people teary-eyed (or tiery-eyed?), but given the size, resources and crowd of Akon, it is the best option. We want the event to be open to as many people as possible, so given the choice between a 32-person double elim, and a 128-person single elim, we went with the latter.

The tournament will be Singles. There may be a doubles tournament and/or a FFA tournament, depending on interest. Singles will begin at 1pm, Saturday,.

REGISTRATION BEGINS AT 11AM SATURDAY. You MUST be there promptly at 11 to ensure your spot. The tournament is capped at 128. Akon is a strange beast – in the past, we've had 128-person tournaments fill up in less than 30 minutes.

Oh, and items are off

$5 registration; prize will be split 60/20/10/10. If we fill all 128 spots, the prizes will be $ 384/128/64/64. Not bad for a casual day at the con, eh?

I'll have more information posted tonight, including a preliminary ruleset. The finalized ruleset will be available as printouts at the con.

Executive Summary:
Akon Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament
Saturday, May 31
Registation: 11am
Tournament starts: 1pm
Format: 128-person Single Elimination
Items Off
Awesomeness On

Can the finals at least be best 3/5, so that the players watching and playing can feel that climatic, exciting feeling? XD.

 

[pootTheBox]

I was just talking about you this afternoon while I was resting the **** out of snake mason. What's your verdict on Brawl and what character do you use these days?

 

[Scav]

Yes, finals and semis will probably be 3/5.

 

[Fogo]

Im going to A-Kon.

Quick, somebody tell Mr. 3000 not to come, he'll surely get beaten.

Dude, even if we had left exactly when you posted it, we would've only had three hours to spare to get there. Just alittle far away as well lol.

I'm gonna be going there today around 2 if you care to come with. Today is gonna be alot of friendlies. And what are you talking about gaykon? You like anime and you like scantily clad women, wtf?! lol

 

[Big Bob]

...People's immaturity amazes me. For one, calling it "gaykon" is not clever or funny. You wouldn't find it amusing if someone called our favorite game "Super Gay Bros. Melee" would you?

And don't make fun of me for asking if anybody wanted to play. I didn't expect a large turnout, and I only asked because I was bored.

Thanks ^_^.

Soo...I am leaving very early from Austin on Saturday. Hope to see you all there!

Well see, gaykon actually works since it sounds like A-kon, you just went out of your way to make some haphazard insult to Melee, which was unsuccessful.

 

[Big Bob]

Rhyming does not make "gay" any funnier.

 

[bluezaft]

Melee!? More like Gay-lay!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't pretend like you didn't laugh. Share the same joy we get from laughing at anime. Unless you have incorporated anime into the very fibers of your being, you really shouldn't take offense. I don't care if people make fun of smash, after all.



Is anybody not going to Akon? And coming to UTD? Surely not all smashers are anime fans and want to play some Brawlee. Brelee?

 

[DoH]

i might be working, but i'll try to come.

unless mancandy calls.

 

[slacker!]

wooooooot I'll be able to make it to the tourney on 9th.

I got a new chaingrab: up-throw chaingrab. It's sexy. Just wait till I do it on billy

Now I can CG every direction LOL

Unfortunately, i have class on that day (Inverse Problems and their Applications) so I probably won't be able to attend. Now, I would skip it, but this is my first grad class...so its rather difficult lol. Who knows though, they might cut class early.

Also, if you want to get in some friendlies some time after, just hit me up. I tend to have people over quite frequently.

 

[pootTheBox]

I was about to ask about the UTD weekly. I'd still show with probably Snake Mason, Reckon, Rbrave, and Leapinghare.

 

[Dark_Meow1]

What's all this about 128 person brawl singles? Blue Zaft, I think I've found a way to perhaps arouse interest in Brawl for you, but I'd have to show you. (Definetly worth looking at, and if nothing else you can stick to melee)

 

[Fogo]

...People's immaturity amazes me. For one, calling it "gaykon" is not clever or funny. You wouldn't find it amusing if someone called our favorite game "Super Gay Bros. Melee" would you?

umm "big bob"....i was kidding. Why were you so offended by such a mundaine statement?

We love our gay smashers here in dallas, i mean look at Do<3.

We all enjoy the company of Do<3.

And it's not like i'm some biggot denouncing a-kon and all anime, i like anime from time to time.

I couldn't really see anyone getting that mad over it unless it deeply rubbed them the wrong way.

so either you live in an anime of some sort, or your in the closet?

Or maybe you just like to call others immature and point fingers?

Who knows? Only god or "big bob" could answer that. But hey, coming out on smashboards would be awesome man, we wouldnt think any different of you.

And what are you talking about gaykon? You like anime and you like scantily clad women, wtf?! lol

Haha shut up or i'll do the Dempsey roll on you lol

 

[Big Bob]

Eh, gay jokes just rub me the wrong way. I just don't find them funny, and it sounded less like you were making a joke and more trying to insult the community. If you didn't mean to, then I apologize too.

...I hate to sound like some weird guy that apologizes every single chance he gets, but it seems to happen. I'd rather be friends with everyone and look like a moron than be too proud admit a mistake.

/Big Gay Bob

haaa, well played

anyways, I'll still CG you billy. you'll be in class and get this extraordinary feeling in the middle of it and you'll have no idea how to describe it, and the only thought going through your mind will be "Ice Climbers".

remember when I said my CGs were inescapable?

yeah. even in real life.

 

[Fogo]

hah, good choice man, it's always better to be loved in a smash community.


@jaketehsnake: LMFAO

"Gay" as an insult isn't a homosexual joke. It's slang originating from the homosexual term, just as the homosexual term once originated from "jolly good times" and has since taken on a totally different meaning. Slang like this happens a lot (see lame and ****) and if you're going to get upset over an insult over the word's origins, you're going to be a mighty unhappy fellow most of the time.

For further elaboration, let us take a look at the examples below.

Ex.1: Metaknight is a homosexual.
Wrong!

Ex.2: Metaknight is a sexual minority.
Wrong!

Ex.3: Metaknight prefers other knights rather than maidens.
Wrong!

Ex.4: Metaknight is gay.
Correct!

You see, the meaning in Ex. 4 is completely different from Ex.s 1-3, and does not refer to Metaknight's sexual preferences.

LOL, you should teach english or write a dictionary with smash references.

 

[Bwett]

Yeah...I got knocked out first round by dr drew at akon. I think I'm not gonna play Ike anymore. Tired of losing.

 

[bluezaft]

Will you be joining us at UTD?

BOWSER AWAITS YOU

Yeah, I'll be over there with a setup later tonight somewhere around 6-8 depending on all the stuff I have to do. I'm assuming yall will be plaing most of the night so I definitely will be there, just when is undecided yet. I'm alittle bummed at the moment lol.

 

[Fogo]

I'm alittle bummed at the moment lol.

suck it up billy, you'll never be a star with that attitude, and dont quit ike, just stoip maining him for awhile lol

i'll be at utd forsure

 

[Dark_Meow1]

Is there a UTD tourney, or just a festivity around? It'd be cool to do some Brawl Brackets or something. Me and some peeps should show up with a cube if you need. Possibly a TV if needed to ^.^

 

[DoH]

But the problem with using gay in that sense is that it codifies gay as being something negative simply by one's diction.

I just say things are asian.

I'm not sure I'm going to the UTD fest. wobbles is going to asiankon, so my point of doubles practice is slightly defeated.

 

[Big Bob]

ATTN: Hylian

Those matches we played were awesome. I want more.

Uhhh .

A-kon results:

1st: Wobbles (Metaknight)
2nd: Melee1 (ICs)
3rd: Hylian(ICs/GW)
4th: Dr Drew.(Marth/Snake)

Single elim FTL. Wobbles(metaknight) is too good.

 

[Infinitysmash]

Single elim FTL. Wobbles(metaknight) is too good.

Yes, single elim for the lose sir.

However, round 2 was probably the closest match I've ever had with Wobbles. I love the thrill of fights that are so close that the next person that gets hit loses. As weird as it sounds I learned a LOT from that match and I'm definitely applying it at the next tournament.

I have a feeling this tournament was pretty groundbreaking for the Dallas community. Expect changes guys.


In related news, I just realized that I don't actually have a hangover. I'm still drunk. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

 

[Wobbles]

Yay, I'm too good.

Single elim is a lame, lame creature that, had I the power, I would hunt to extinction.

 

[Dr Mario Kart]

Boo! I had a good shot at taking out Hylian at 16th, but I didnt spam B hard enough
