FAST 1 - Florida's Awesome Summer Tourney - July 17-20, 2008 (Register Online NOW!!!)

[Overswarm]

Nobody ever made a significant amount of money in Melee but about 10 people. Most people even considered very good have probably spent more money than they've made. For the overwhelming majority of Smashers, it has never been about making money. If you want to make money playing a game go to poker tournaments.

Where the money is = where the people are. Follow the money and you follow the community.

Also, I'm pretty bad at poker. I'm really lucky, but bad. Sliq is awesome though.

Your argument is circular. The money is in Brawl because the community (who provides the entry fees) is there. The community is there because that's where the money is. There's obviously another reason why the community is larger, and it has nothing to do with money. The game is newer and simpler.

 

[h1roshi]

i'll probably only go for brawl.

[Finch]

Westshore is the greasiest deliciousest pizza ever. Overswarm, your ********.

The game is newer; that's really about it. If Brawl was first then Melee, people would be playing Melee. That's really all there is to it. Follow the money, you find the community, you find the competition. Just what I wanna do.

If I wanted to stick to a dead community I'd go off and play Halo 1.

 

[Raistlin]

i rule .

QFT

You better come, fool!

 

[C@sH Mooney]

That **** isn't dead. They have side events at MLG's for it

 

[Prac352]

Sign me up.

 

[MarsFool!]

This looks fun. But Im tired of driving to every OOS, so who wants to give me a ride?

 

[Overswarm]

Smash 64 has also been at every FC.


Halo 1 is dead, it died a long time ago. The number of people playing Halo 1 is incredibly small, despite the fact that it is leagues beyond Halo 2 and 3. They have side events for Halo 1 because the players of Halo 2 and Halo 3 enjoy the game; it is likely that Melee and Smash 64 side events will stick around, but it's no longer the main attraction.

Just because something is whimpering and dying slowly on the floor doesn't mean it isn't dead, if you get my drift.

 

[The Alpha Gundam]

Sign me up.

Can i ride with you PLZZZZZZZZ

 

[exarch]

I'll definitely be there for melee. It'll be great to see TX again.

And I'll probably be around for brawl if you need help running things.

Good deal Frames.

 

[h1roshi]

its going to be tough to get all 4 days off. thats intense. extremely unlikely. luckily, i live close enough that i can go there one day, then go to work, and come back for another event. i just really want to do brawl though.

[Miztik]

Theres a good chance ill be able to make this and possible bring a few others from Norcal (well Modesto/ceres....that i smash with....)

 

[Monk/Honkey/Banana]

I gotta figure out how to cook chinese first though...

*2 page late reply!!!*
Step 1) Find a cat

Step 2) Find a pot

Step 3) Add MSG

Step 4) Cook

Step 5) Eat

There you go

You act like it's inevitable that newer games replace the old as the competitive standard when that doesn't always happen. Sometimes a newer game is so inferior that it dies while its predecessor moves on. Look at CS 1.6, Quake 3, etc. I predict Brawl will be dead within two years because it's a shallow *** game, whereas Melee, while smaller than it used to be, will still be having tournaments. I'll take bets on this prediction as well.

 

[?!?]

I doubt that as much as i rather play melee. too many noobs love brawl like hiroshi. i dont think melee will die either too many pros like the game.

 

[?!?]

I liek how tipman is on the attentance list when he clearly stated he aint going

 

[xYz]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
I hope FL makes it up on top in the four tournies.

 

[CaptainCrunch]

**** Brawl Melee all the way. Although I will prob be there for brawl too considering the proximity to my house.

That pretty much sums it all up. At least it's delicious.

Yeah I know, I was just saying. I get your drift =D

So your not even coming just to have fun? For the moments?(Spining toothbrush =o). Don't you think playing melee again would be fun? I mean this is if you haven't played in awhile of course. And then Brawl. Brawl will be the biggest event ever. If you have not heard yet, both of our most recent locals in Orlando have been 120+ people. For a local! Imagine the people that will come for this!!

You'll be missing out on a lot bud. =/

Meh. If I wanted to go for something "fun" I'd play Halo 1 or bring a chess board. I'm sure it'll be a big event, but it's a 13 hour drive, so might as well go to something more local >_>

 

[derf]

dude overswarm, i dont think you're trying to be a ****, but you're arguing with people outside your region, in a thread for a tournament you said you're not attending, about a game you dont even play anymore

just let it go man.

 

[Linguini]

Fixed 10 char.

I dont even need spell check , i have my ***** overswarm fix it for me on call.
I like how you utilize people's grammar errors on an online forum to fuel your arguments and (attempt) to make yourself feel superior. GG.

I'm not arguing anything. >_>

I'm just responding to people that quote me. o_O

Also, Linguini: You look like a shoe.

It doesn't matter whether you're responding or not--it takes two (or more) to argue. Besides, I believe you started all this with the following quote:

You're.

and Melee's an old game, it'll shrivel... Brawl will blossom. So I stick to Brawl. Plus, I played Melee specifically to get prepared for Brawl, so why go backwards?

You start off by correcting someone's grammar for no ostensible reason except to show your superiority (ironically your own posts contain a number of errors), then make an unsupported claim about Melee and accuse its adherents of "[going] backwards".

It's not only clear that you started the argument, but also that you're a contentious prick.

Overswarms just angry that Cosmo beats him all the time.

Looks like we have quite the comedian here.
Cept no one's laughing.
and get the **** off my d!ck.

 

[Shai Hulud]

Just to be a douche I'm going to point out some (by no means is this list exhaustive) of Overswarm's grammatical errors in this thread.

I don't hate Melee. Melee is an awesome game. It's just that I've seen the evolution of games go half a dozen times before, and the people that hang back always have this rag-tag community ala street fighter that, while playing a fun game, have no real community at all after a decent amount of time.

The correct spelling is ragtag.

Knowing that, I'm just done with Melee. I'll stick with Brawl, get good at that, and then I'll be ahead of the game. Remember how infuriating it was going to tournaments for Melee when EVERYONE was leagues ahead of you? That'll never happen to me in Brawl. That's a good feeling.

"Get good" is grammatical nonsense.

The game is newer; that's really about it. If Brawl was first then Melee, people would be playing Melee. That's really all there is to it. Follow the money, you find the community, you find the competition. Just what I wanna do.

This is a comma splice, followed by a fragment (and the incorrect "wanna").

Halo 1 is dead, it died a long time ago. The number of people playing Halo 1 is incredibly small, despite the fact that it is leagues beyond Halo 2 and 3. They have side events for Halo 1 because the players of Halo 2 and Halo 3 enjoy the game; it is likely that Melee and Smash 64 side events will stick around, but it's no longer the main attraction.

The first sentence is a comma splice. The last contains a subject-verb disagreement.

I'm just responding to people that quote me.

The correct pronoun is "who."

If you're going to be a ***** and act like the high and mighty amateur journalist you are, please don't correct people's grammar in a gaming forum until you learn to write yourself.
