Music is great for you, Video Games are good for you, Sex is good for you, and drugs save lives..

parties and junk food could be bad lol

Lol my point was all of those activities are a form of escapism. If you live a life where you only look forward to ****ing, taking drugs, going to parties getting drunk, playing video games and eating junk food, you're gonna have a very unproductive and unfulfilled life.

And the drugs I was referring to do not save lives at all, in fact do the opposite.

 

[TheJerm]

Haha, I was making a small joke with the drugs thing. Im all for being productive towards your goals. Its all about doing what you actually want to do. Even if thats sitting in a pile of **** for the rest of your life

 

[Zano]

aight looks like I'm busing up here after all lol. If no one is available to pick me up, can someone refresh my memory on which buses to take to get to sync's from the greyhound? Tesh told me last time but I lost the instructions on my old phone.

nm, guess I'm still good

Do you guys ever stream any of your tournaments like on twitch.tv or anything like that?

RT should have recording set ups. Not sure on steams though.

 

[stripheR]

i have a stream but not sure anyone would tune in. i only have like 1600 followers :\

 

[UltimateRazer]

The growing Tourney Locator would be the stream, but this venue doesn't have internet. They'll have a main station with commentary and recording though.

 

[GaiustheThief]

TGC in two more days I'm hyped

 

[Zori]

you live in houston?

In 2 days The Road to TGC 2 is happening in Houston, TX. Here are some final bits of information you need to know before attending this event.

1. I am in great need of full set-ups. WiiU/Smash 4 or Mario Kart 8/TV. If you bring a full set-up, i will compensate you at the next TGC with half off venue fee or a drink coupon or something. Remember, if you want plenty of practice before/between matches, we need full set-ups. There is no other way.

2. Obeying the time slots are a MUST. I will make no exceptions this time around because i want this event to start/end on time.

Xyro arrives to set-up @ 9:00am
Registration/Practice @ 10:00am
Smash 4 1vs1 (WiiU) @ 11:30am
Smash 4 2vs2 (WiiU) @ 2:00pm
Food break @ 4:00pm (your only chance to eat without being DQed)
Mario Kart 8 (WiiU) @ 5:00pm
Leave the venue @ midnite

3. Be sure and read/be familiar with the rules to this event. Many things are different than they were at TGC 2. The more educated you are on the rules the better prepared you will be on the day of the event. The rules can be found on the tournament discussion page.

4. The weather will be in the low to mid 70s on Saturday but please bring a jacket just in case. We wouldn't want people johning about being too cold, would we?

5. Though not mandatory, it would help me out a ton if you all bring $5 and $1 bills when paying/registering for events. It speeds up registration and makes paying out players easier. Again, just a recommendation.

6. Like last time, the free food is limited to first come first served. So the earlier you get here and the earlier you get in line, the more "guaranteed" you will be to get food.

7. If you need housing before or after TGC, please contact @Sync. and or @Leaf. they will help you.

8. Finally, due to be being extremely busy today and tomorrow, i have already created the results thread for TGC 2. Please go here to further discuss this event, make predictions and check on bracket updates/results...etc. It can be found here: http://smashboards.com/threads/the-road-to-tgc-2-results-on-12-6-2014.381295/

Xyro, why isn't YI legal? Its actually a much more viable stage than wii fit studio and coliseum? I just want to know YOUR reasoning. If walkoffs are fine, then why not allow pipes.

I really didnt think about it at all. I approve of the stage though. I can add it for next time no problem.

 

[Teshie U]

Pipes is probably little mac's best stage.

 

[RT]

...at this rate, I'll never enter TGC singles ever again.

[UltimateRazer]

No. F pipes.

 

[Teshie U]

Whats wrong with it Razer? There is no walkoff camping there.

 

[Zano]

it might as well be a walk off with how close the blastzones are to the stage.

besides that, idk how you can look at the stage design and think this stage is ok.

 

[RT]

Since we're going to go nuts with the stage list, why not bring Skyworld back? You can destroy the platforms, so there's no reason the stage shouldn't be legal.

I'm not going nuts though.

 

[Teshie U]

Nothing wrong with closer blast zones, especially in this game.

Brinstar on 3DS was much smaller than the other stages by far.

Nothing wrong with the layout. Its just a bowl with a couple of platforms.

 

[Zano]

just let me sit in that lip on the top left and see how many characters have viable approach options

 

[Xyro77]

*projectile users like fox*

 

[Tesh]

that honestly doesnt work so well. you will just get your shield hit repeatedly and be unable to grab you opponent

 

[Zano]

getting your shield hit in a game where attacks either do nothing to a shield or break it and they regenerate super fast regardless

 

[Teshie U]

When you corner yourself with nowhere to roll to and no hope of punishing your opponent for hitting your shield, I'm not sure how much shield regen will help you.

Almost everyone can do massive shield damage. The main problem being that people often roll out of the pressure easily. If you camp on that lip, you can really only roll right in front of your opponent.

 

[Haptic]

Good luck to everyone this weekend! I'm in ATX and won't be able to make it (plus I haven't put many hours into Smash Wii U yet and don't feel comfortable coming out to play), but I'll be looking for the VoDs!

 

[RunC.T.]

I'm slowly figuring out mechanics and movement for peach. she's even more of a mix-up character with side-b able to hit shields. in short, she's really good. learning pressure strings atm.

 

[RunC.T.]

also anyone down to team with me for TGC? I use Peach/Rosa for dubs.

 

[GaiustheThief]

I'd be down but I only have enough for singles unfortunately

 

[Stiltzskin]

I hope I'm not the only old school, washed-up player thinking of getting back into the scene after a long hiatus.

 

[Zano]

I know it's super late notice, but if I were to take the next available greyhound (which is in 2 hours) and arrive in houston around 9:05, would anyone be able to pick me up? I'll throw gas money at you and give many thanks. I don't really want to go into detail but events have caused this to be my only option if i want to go still. I'll love whoever does this forever and junk


EDIT: Nm, that bus isn't available now, til next time I guess

 

[BC.]

If anyone wants to buy a new, unopened copy of Smash Wii U for $50 let me know

 

[Espy Rose]

Pipes is probably little mac's best stage.

Rofl

 

[Maniak]

Anyone want to play tonight online everyone I'm getting is lagging so bad. Figure local would be better. Hit me up xoxMANIAKxox

 

[PokemonyeWest]

woe is me/no tourney

 

[SnorlaxPie500]

I hope I'm not the only old school, washed-up player thinking of getting back into the scene after a long hiatus.

I'm in your boat. Trying to place 33rd or better tomorrow lol.

 

[Haptic]

Holy ****, Stiltz? Been a long time, seems a lot of us old timers are coming out of the woodwork.
