That gif is gross Xyro... LOL


edit: @ xyro: And I know the scene isn't what it use to be but really any game eventually loses it's hype. We can still have a good scene though. Just because we can't get something that awesome back doesn't mean we sink the whole ship.
If you lower your standards and re-define the definition of "good scene" then yea i agree. But a scene of 20-30 people AT BEST? thats not cool man and many have already expressed that there is no incentive to attend stuff that weak.

I disagree Flip. All we really need is a strong TO who doesn't take crap or delay. :applejack:

I know a scene like that isn't that good. But I hope it'll snowball effect. If my region knew that nearby tournaments of 20-30 people were happening we'd start a carpool then maybe someone else would and so on. It's really easy for you to say it's pointless with no hope, you're done with this scene and so are the people who talk like that.

How would you think we should improve the scene? Like, any advice?

The tourney was at a hookah bar?
Asc 2, Asc 3 and Asc 4 have been at the Cafe Luxor Hookah bar.

ROFL nope. he couldnt do it. he doesnt like to get dirty and be a tyrant.
I saw you make so many exceptions and take so much crap it would clog the world's largest toilet. I was mainly referring to him not participating in the game. I think he'd need help getting people to actually listen to him. Oh the tears and whining when he DQs someone for being late or disappearing would be so sweet.

When i passed the torch to Sync, i gave advice. It wasn't used. When you asked me a while back i gave you the same advice. It wasnt used.

This is the end. Hold your breath and count to 10......

I did use your advice though and I got some of my regions best attendance in the year. I just haven't been able to hold a tournament. The only advice I didn't use was banning MK or not.

I made Denti lose set 1 of dubs at my last tourney.

And I <3 Denti.


For real though, I don't even tyrant it. I just run the tourney. I have fun. I enjoy hosting. And I enjoy brawl. And I do both as an enjoyable TO, and as far as I can tell, it's working out.

Don't think I'm hating on your TO skills, either. You put a ton of time and work and did a ton of stuff way better than other TOs. I always saw you doing lots of stuff for people that made their day/helped them out/ made the tournament possible for them and you didn't expect anything in return. I have a lot of respect for you as a person because of this.

But damn son you let people get away with some stupid **** sometimes.

Oh, I could do it if it really came down to it. I just don't because I'm nice, maybe too nice. But I would have no problems discarding my feelings and get my hands dirty if it came down to that choice. Since I don't play, I have no loyalties.

This I can guarantee.

and ALSM continued to hold events every week after your events. that crap needs to stop imo.

if that works for you and you are happy with what you have then please continue.

RT there is not a rude/mean bamboo bone in your body. you are a fluffy n' puffy panda bear with a big heart full of rice. Just cause your eyes are always closed and you are a 55 year old rapist doesnt mean you can be mean. its just not possible.

I like to play in tournaments, but I also like to help run them.
It's hard because I'd have to commit to one or the other. :applejack:

Also I asked you ok FB where to advertise and posted on all of those sites(except neogaf because I don't have a paid email, and gamefaqs because for the life of me I couldn't find the new thread button.)

I like Xyro advice. It's helpful.

Also UTDZac advise. He helped me at WT1.

New rumors emerge regarding Smash 4

Namco-Bandai is working with Sakurai to get a fully working demo at E3 for Smash Bros. Sakurai really took to heart the complaints about the single player game and the online game. He is solving this by making the single player very deep this time done by the Tales series people and is planning to have a Network Beta of the game for download the day of Nintendo’s E3 show. This way they can beta test online for about one year before they ship the game.

Got my driver's license today.

Next step: Getting insurance, and getting my mom's car into my name.

And then I will be able to travel to events and stuff. Probably smashfests instead of tournys. Smashfests are cheaper.
