Gamer's Edge - SC/NC Brawl Weeklies - next: nevar

[I've Jihad It]

Oh. I have done things... Things... to get these tournaments to work.

This is getting too cereal, and needs moar Drunken Ali pictures.

Addendum: I wish some of you had to deal with the amount of annoying b@stard children questions that I do. You might notice that at the end of the day, I look like Charles Manson; It's because I'm steadily on the road to becoming an hero.

lol ... things are just pretty serious .. lol

 

[JMan8891]

But Ali, your animation brings a smile to our faces.

I have to agree with Devin on a lot of that. We both have super serious woman, and (in my case last week) the 1:30am "Oh, just finished babe" or im sure Carmen getting fed up time to time, really make us appreciate what we do have.

For instance: my one and only tourney b4 was my Sophmore year. 30 -40 ppl. I mained Link at the time. Took second, $60, a nintendo hoodie, and a nice grounding for even going....
Fast forward 3 yrs, and "zomg, at least 12 really good regulars!", Im broke as ****zel, but somehow seem to make them...

Rare weekends would be a plus. TO that works with you for Red Bowl runs/patry with you (cept poor ol' JMan... u guys shortstick me just cause Marlene's got my balls in her purse, lol), consistent, good competition (Billy almost put me out, wtf???), and us handing our money over weekly: Something we enjoy and can look forward to every week.
*Starts slow clap* Love u guys


UBER cool aside: My apartment is 450.....not 1700... i no poor!!!!!
& see the sig

 

[Criosphinx]

Jmannnn. Did you move to Rock Hill? I thought you were moving near Waterstone?

 

[zCasanova]

(Billy almost put me out, wtf???)

I've trained him well. He's part of my fan club.

 

[I've Jihad It]

I only settle for one night stands because girls are duuumb

and Jman Im glad my animation brings smiles to yo faces

Hey, man. Don't get me wrong, I think you guys do a good job. I'm not complaining about how you guys do things. I'm just making suggestions. If the suggestions do not work fore reasons beyond your control that's fine. Need two open TVs for random casual customers? Understood. Weekends? No because most of the income come from then. Understood.

As for time, I stated the same reason why tournaments run late. Equal-skill, blah, blah. That's why I'm again suggesting some ideas to add options. Singles are the main event to me as well as most. I'm saying perhaps it's a nice option for people who shouldn't/can't stay late.

I for one have class at 8 AM. Last time Ryan and I didn't leave the tournament until close to 1 AM. So we didn't get back until a little after 3 AM. Then I had to get back to my apartment so I really didn't get to bed until around 4 AM and I had to get up at 7 AM for class.

I'm not saying to switch it up so people just want to do singles don't have to wait until after doubles because it's already obvious if you're only there for singles they can come back later. If you say you want to start doubles first because you think starting it afterwards would discourage people from participating in it than that's fine. That's the typical plan of events are, anyways. Save the best for last.

I'm just letting you guys know that the schedule affects my decision on coming or not to come of these tournaments. It may or may not for others. Whatever works for you guys works best. I'm throwing out some ideas. If it doesn't fit with you guys then I'll just have to make the arrangements to go to a few of theses.

I'm recommended you reach out to some of your participates for help with stations. Like I said already, I can bring a small TV and my Wii when I come. Perhaps other can too to help speed things along. It's not going to be at nice as you guys' equipment, but it can help.

On a lighter side, IMO I figured you guys had to go through some trials and errors with the smash community in SC being few and spread out. I understand it can be discouraging. Low turnouts. Decent turn outs with scrubs who loses and gives up and never come back.

I've known probably only 5 or 6 good smashers in SC for Melee when I played that competitively and two of which got tremendously better by knowing and playing me. Vice versa as they start to get better so do I. The other few are really good players on their own, but we only met once in a while. Most other random people I met talk trash, come to play, lose badly, give up, don't return calls, and don't respond on IMs. They straight up avoid and don't just tell me they aren't as competitive as they thought they were and aren't interested anymore. In FOUR YEARS of looking for competitive SSBM players in SC.

So, I give you guys props for starting this up. You guys have to deal with kids, scrubs, and lows. I can can understand that. I don't think you guys do anything wrong. However, maybe just explore some ideas who help run the tournament more efficient. For SC, if Brawl gets more popular the tournaments people would look forward to are the ones you guys run because you shown dedication and commitment.

 

[JMan8891]

Jmannnn. Did you move to Rock Hill? I thought you were moving near Waterstone?

Will be moving to Rock Hill. Far cheaper and bigger. I can afford a put-put car too, so PT job, likley November Waba, goodies in general
I'll still try to appear from time to time evenings if you want to smash

 

[The Director]

likley November Waba

When is Waba again? I really want to go, but I think it will be impossible for me to take time off work.

 

[Ryanarius]

Its the third saturday of every month. Link for dates

On a somewhat related note is anyone planning on going to impact clash this weekend? Link, its a high entry fee but you can get it waved pretty easily and I'm getting the impression it'll have great turnout like 50+.

@devin: I didn't mean to complain as much as I did. Simply suggestions for what I think may be an improvement. Clemson is weird because it tends to be 2 hours and 30 minutes away from everything. There are several tournaments that are just as convenient (many are more convenient as they are on weekends) but we continue to go to this one because its the best.

 

[The Director]

Its the third saturday of every month. Link for dates

Thanks! I might actually be able to make it in Nov...in a month my work schedule will be shifting so that I have every weekend off. I'll def. put that under consideration.

 

[JMan8891]

Thanks for that one Ryan, made me smile, lol

Umm... i really intend on trying to make it to Waba in November.... i think we need to set up a car pool...
@Joe: are you indeed going to the PnT tourney on Saturday? Basically, if you are, i am. If your not... i may not go and instead spend quality time with Marlene. Im sure the PnT tourney will have lots of little kids... and if i dont' know any cool ppl who are going to be there... i won't bother
Edit: Where be the vids from like... the past two weeks? Mine and Joe's Doubles run was pretty win... 2nd with facing Al-eter like.... 10 times ( no jokes... that little fiasco of some random person telling us we played first, 2nd round playing them, and then finals for a third time, lol ) and Joe killing me left/right every match and our dumb suicides for trying to be flashy, xD. And our DK vs Sonic match on FD with the Invincible Hyphen Smash through a fully charged DK Paaaaaauuuuuuuuuuch! was too good as well... we need proof of those exploits...

Or Phillip beating me with Kirby... that was lame, xD.

 

[zCasanova]

@ Ryan & Khai --

Don't get me wrong, that wasn't necessarily directed at you guys, a LOT of people have been *****ing and moaning since day one, and it gets old. People just need to understand we're working with what we've got. I'm just glad you guys attend these as regularly as you do.

If anyone wants to bring extra stations, I'm sure we have room for another one, MAYBE two small set ups. Space is kind of limited, the only place they could go is after the farthest T.V. on the right.

 

[Criosphinx]

Ehh... we could fit some more TV's in along the back wall where Dylan has the failcomputers set up.

On the subject of the November WABA. Is that on Nov 22nd? If so, I was still considering going to C3 for the ECRC tourney. M2k, Azen, Chillin, and a goodly number of other "high name" whatevertheyares are supposed to be there. I was reallyyyyy hoping to go it. It'd be a multi day thing(I'm gonna try to get someone to house me / us / hotellllllparty). Anyone who is interested, me and E-rock are likely to caravan it.

Addendum: I am good cop, Devin is bad cop. Eric is hoodycop.

 

[zCasanova]

Time to ask... who's coming this week?

 

[I've Jihad It]

I thhhink peter and I are coming ..

Crio - I would like to go with you to C3 for sure

 

[Dagani]

I'll come and I'll bring my TV, it's slightly smaller than the GEC ones, but it has a nice picture and is widescreen and bright.

I guess I could have been doing that all along, since I live all of 1 minute from the store and have to stop home between class and the tourney anyway.

I'll more than likely be 15-30 minutes late, as per usual, depending on when class lets out, unless I can wow my professor with the web site I'm supposed to be building right now and he'll let me leave early.

 

[Criosphinx]

Dagster finish up your website on gayporn and come play brawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl

 

[The Director]

Time to ask... who's coming this week?

Uh...I might? I can either go to this one tomorrow or go to the PnT one on Saturday. I was supposed to work, but I don't feel like pressure washing outside in the rain all day...

Addendum: I am good cop, Devin is bad cop. Eric is hoodycop.

Wow, if you guys are all cops then you sure do let me get away with a lot at these things.

 

[zCasanova]

Joe, come tomorrow. **** PnT, their tournaments blow.




Eric.

 

[JMan8891]

Joe: Dude, i asked like... 4 times if u were going Sat. Im doing both i think..
C3?? Wats that one... thread/where/when... if nov, i'd try my damdest to go, should carpool and split hotel (i wont rob u, promise... let me have my grape drink and we'll be cool.....)
JMan is attending 90%, but im moving too... so yea...
Joe/Dev/Crio/Eric: I need celly #s. Mine is 815-519-7475. Txt it and say who you are, I'll add you. Might need someone who knows the area tomorrow

 

[Sushi-Man]

Just incase anyone wants to go to a Charlotte, NC tourney on Oct 18, here you go:

[Criosphinx]

803-431-1618. I know a decent amount about the Rock Thrill, I used to go to Winthrop University. As long as you don't go to The Money, or Scandals, and you keep up a steady intake of penicillin, you can avoid getting contact herpes.

@Sushi: I'm on the fence for going to ACM. The attendance looks to be meager at best.

@Devin. Did you just end your post with a delayed statement of longing for my dudemanbro E-riche?

 

[JMan8891]

Crio, your saved under Crio, lol. I have to find a utility place... and only know Celanese/Cherry Rd.... and where a theater is???
Anyone going to Sat PnT?? if not... im not either

 

[Criosphinx]

77-S to Dave Lyle, you can find Manchester Village. It has a Best Buy, Movie Theater(cheap, comfortable) some nice restaurants, Target, and some other stores.

This Saturday PnT I'm not going, I gotta work. If I don't go to ACM, I'll be going to the PnT on the 18th

 

[Ryanarius]

Unless something changes tommorow it looks like we are not going to make it. Maybe next week.

edit: who knows if I'm bored tommorow I might make the drive but its looking unlikely

 

[Gileril]

uncc has a lot coming I think
.
.
like me!

 

[kackamee]

I might be able to make the one on the 18th. I gotz a whole lot of new things I want to show off

 

[MusicalMike]

I'm coming to this.

 

[JMan8891]

Cool, it should be a 20 plus turnout this week hopefully

U know... you UNCC folk bring the majority of the bracket... lol. Usually half or so.. I know its Me, Crio, Eric, Devin, Billy and Billy's occassional buddies... then like... UNCC. I've seen Ryanarius and Khai once since i've come to these....''

Kack, you should sneak to this one today, lol

[ptown]

i won't be making it today, kidd. so i won't be able to see that ike you decided to pick up.

as for ali, i think he can still go.

 

[Criosphinx]

so i'm less important then even billy's buddies?

Gwahahahah!

I'm placing today. srs.

 

[Lareit]

I'm really, really bored, probally gonna show up at 4.

Earlier if someone's there.

 

[zCasanova]

Bo and I will be there shortly after 4.

Working on the videos from last week right now.

 

[Criosphinx]

I'm on my way up there after I shower, and get food. Guess I'll bring my tv + wii setup just in case.

 

[I've Jihad It]

Cant come guys ... Peter cant go aaaaaand I have a lot of work due tomorrow .. if I go I wont finish for sure
So im sorry again

 

[The Director]

Guys, I can't make it tonight. There's too much playoff baseball on.

 

[Eva01]

Group of 4 of us coming up from Greenville/Columbia this week with Kidd. We're gonna do our best to be on time.

 

[Ryanarius]

khai is thinks he might be able to get off work in time to make the normal singles. Any guesses on when those would start?

 

[ImpactAR]

Since there seem to be a good number of people doing this I really want to try to make it to this. But I don't want to miss work for this. Can you guys give me an estimate on when you plan on low tier ending. Ryan and I am going to plan on coming just for singles.

My work closes at 7 but I can usually get off between 6 and 7. Since it takes us 2 and a half hours to get there we're looking at 8:30 at earliest.
