I'm pretty desperate for what I want, and I want a lot of 1 thing

Just so people know, when I write up paragraphs of stuff, I get dramatic. Don't take them too seriously. It's just me attention whoring

Dude, you can't have a hype-*** tournament and NOT have Waffles recording main TV. Maybe you can play second fiddle and record a **** ton of matches on a second Melee TV, but let's be honest; If it ain't Waffles, it ain't hype. One and done, that's it, doneski.

You can't usurp everyone.

In terms of Brawl, you probably would've been in there if you'd have quit your *****in' about being shafted at APEX and just showed commitment to supplying quality content. Whoring yourself out isn't going to make you more appealing, it's going to make you look whiny and selfimportant. Lose the drama queen status and just do work. No one gives two ****s if you get shafted if you act like a punk about it.

As long as videos go up, I don't care who uploads them! However, if I were to choose someone to upload I would lean towards Zant since he uploads quicker and his vids are less likely to have some corrupted s#!+ in the recording process!

I'm waiting on this major update boback mentioned a while back! I got questions and s#!+!

Zant would do a good job recording but brandon's gotta be the one on the main setup. Zant would probably get the videos up faster but they'll definitely get way more views on brandon's channel.

wtf who cares what channel they're on or how many views they get

if they're good matches, people will find them and watch them

when did recording become about the recorder instead of being about the match?!

Well obviously the only point of recording is so that people can watch the set later. It doesn't matter who's channel it's on as long as people can find it. The thing is though, far fewer people will end up finding it if it's on a less known channel. And does that really matter? I guess not. The people who really follow the smash scene will find it regardless of what channel it's on. There's gonna be hundreds of great sets recorded at Genesis 2 though and it's simply more convenient to all the other less dedicated players to have the most hyped sets on the most popular channel. If you took one of the videos that was uploaded to brandon's channel and uploaded it to my channel instead for example, only around 1/10th as many people would end up watching it on average. Simply put, it wouldn't have as much exposure.

And yeah, none of this **** really matters I'm just ranting because I'm bored lol. The more people who record sets though, the better. I don't want any set that's hella good to go unrecorded.

Even if you aren't recording on the main setup for melee i hope that doesn't discourage you from recording other melee sets UKZ.

I was thinking, I could record everything on the main Melee setup, all day on all 3 days, and have Brandon jump in and commentate when he can. I'm sure a fair trade for his work would be to give him the files for stuff like crew battles, semis, finals, and maybe some other stuff he might want. I'd hate the trade, but it's fair. I'd do it, as painful for me as it is
See, this right here is what I don't like. You make a proposal of compromise then ***** about how much you'd hate to do it. There is literally no point in striking up a deal if your going to complain about it throughout. That's like if I let someone borrow a video game, then called them up every day and *****ed about missing the game and wanting it back.

Waffles is good for his subscription count (among other things), but I just don't like what it's turning into: People are uploading their work onto his channel. I'd hate to give up any of my work. I want my youtube fame
That's their choice to do so (unless I missed something). I seriously doubt Waffles would try to snatch up any of your **** if you recorded it on your setup. If you put in work, you get results, that simple. Don't try to push people out of your way just to get a bigger view count and an e-peen massage.

I don't know much about economics or anything, but wouldn't it be better for youtubers to have their videos on their channel? To help balance out the competition to be less of an oligopoly? Waffles is king, by like 3,300 subscribers. VideoGameBootCamp has like 2,200 now I believe and the next few best have 1,100 - 1,600 I believe. Competition, motivation for other youtubers to improve their youtubing, that **** I think I know but probably don't, right?
Why does subscription count even matter? The important thing is exposure, and so long as there is an advertisement somewhere, be it a thread or a promo video or whatever, the channel the video is hosted on is irrelevant. The only people who gives a **** about sub and view count are the uploaders themselves, but that has nothing to do with the content itself.

renechris is a boss.

and a big *** LOL at usuperkingzant. i knew that this niigga was ****ing up. hahahaha omggg. this kid's going to gets NO love. zant your approach is all ****ed up. continue this course of action man, you're gonna be blacklisted son. props to all those who quoted usuperkingzant's post, because i wasn't able to read what he originally posted. zant: if you thoroughly thought before you post you'd either agree with what you said regardless of when you posted it OR if you disagree with what you previously posted you should be able man up and correct yourself.

as far as recording equipment, and whos recording what, and how things are being set up for the main screen will be me. not me personally, but ill have someone there to basically name the files and **** for the matches, the equipment will be provided by me.


NOW.



if anyone else.. wants to, or feels the need to want to record any other damn match in the entire tournament.. go ahead and do so. thats all on you. and very much encouraged.


live stream will be down, not only from a technical standpoint (due to ****ty internet/no internet) but also as a personal opinion.


also, @ bionic (i think thats what it is)
the phone tethering thing is a good idea for updates and stuff like that.. just know that if you have AT&T it wont give you a signal out there, so yeah.. not sure what service you have. i know my iphone wouldnt tether due to basically no service out at the venue.






and calm the **** down people.

but, but...we wanna get mad at something and zant said something dumb so we have to get mad..we're obligated too...it's completely out of our control...god prayed to us and asked us to get mad at zant. therefore i cannot calm the **** down, it would be immoral.

I have an android phone on Sprint, and according to Sprint's coverage map, there should be full signal :p

i'm going to be recording the entirety of Genesis 2 on at least 2 Canon 7D's. all that footage is going to be compiled for my documentary and a private-funny-montage for the community to be released on vimeo/youtube

Boback lets have words soon about this, balling.
