Sounds epic. I'll probably be able to go.
I have Mario Kart 64 on N64 and Wii, but no, not for tournament.
OK, so it's official, I will have the time to host this with minor interferences from the family, don't worry, they don't bite, they're quite friendly, but for the most part, they'll be out of the house to let me run this smoothly.
Let's talk about setups.
I have a Melee and a Brawl setup (complete with tv), the Brawl setup will remain for Brawl throughout the day, as it will be recording tournament matches via gecko os codes to allow unlimited time, tags, and such, which will be uploaded on youtube the following days. DO NOT FORGET TO RECORD MATCHES, YOU SIMPLY HIT Z AFTER EVERY MATCH, AND SAVE ON THE SD CARD.
Melee setup will always be connected to my computer & out to TV, for the most part, I'll be in charge of it, if I'm in a match, I'll let you record your own matches (I plan to record from match start to finish, that way, I can easily encode and upload without having to split parts, and losing quality) In the case that I leave it up to you, all settings will be set, and all you have to do before you start a match is:
1. name the video, for example Turtlehoop vs Fyr3'
2. click "Capture now"
3. play match
4. click stop once you're done.
In the case that you've played a set before, simply add 2, or any finals set with added initials such as LF, WF, or GF.
If you don't mind quality loss, feel free to record the entire set in one video.
as of now, I have 279 GB, so double check that you aren't recording nothing useful.
Like I said, I'll try to be in charge of it for the most part, if you got any questions, I'm sure we can talk in person.
18167 Harvester Ave.
Nampa, ID
I suggest that you look it up and get directions. I'll give you the most easy direction, it's literally 12 miles from Knuttz' place, when heading out from his subdivision, turn left, towards Ustick, and turn right on Ustick, follow Ustick for 27 minutes until you get to Sage Valley (school) and turn right on Santa Ana, left on subdivision entrance and right on Harvester. that is the most basic way, but you could also hit the freeway towards Nampa and get off at exit 33B, which leads you to Midland Blvd, keep right and follow it until you get to Ustick Rd. turn left, and the rest I listed already. SUPER SIMPLE. you decide which way you want to take.
We can decide on what to eat once we're here if you're up for Little C's/Jack in the Box/Carl's Jr (closest locations aside McD's) oherwise, I will have drinks, chips & salsa.
Any questions, you can call/text my cell: 249-8367
I want at least 5 setups, but any more are more than welcome, I have a total of 4 tvs, so 2 of them could be used for tournament as well.
Turtlehoop, Pokemon Stadium is still a cp, and although I like PS, I agree it should be a CP.

The only reasoning behind it being a CP is to encourage Stage Striking.
They should have taken out Battlefield or Fountain of Dreams, aka the two stages nobody likes.

Is there a price for admission? If so, what is it?
Turtlehoop
Smash Ace
I <3 chips and salsa, which I'd be willing to pay into to keep a supply/help the house out.
if everyone gives churro like 2 bucks, it will help with the prize money. Is it $5 for first in each tourney, and nothing after? why not make it a 2 dollar entry fee, with prizes? so basically all tournies are 8 bucks...if you have 12 people in a tourney 24 bucks, 60 percent if that for first is...about 14 bucks...or even a dollar per tourney, then its 7 bucks for the winner...if you have 12 people....

He meant 5$ entry fee per tourny, not 5$ win I think.

Hey guys, how can I KO someone with fox?
I was playing jack a ton today; my waveshines were nearly perfect, L-cancels were good, and I was avoiding a lot of the traps I typically fall into (such as teching into his d-smash). I could easily get him to about 100-130% in about the same time I would be at 30-60%. But I always died first, he just gimps me with u-air. And I lost most of the matches cause of this. How can I efficiently edge guard and kill with fox?
Don't say shine spiking either, while it works some times, it doesn't work all the time.
I'm sick of losing matches I shouldn't lose.
And before anyone can be a troll; inb4 'shine spiking lol'
inb4 someone now intentionally saying 'shine spiking lol' because I inb4'd
etc...

Yeah, sorry if I caused confusion, $5 per tournament, so the most would be $20 for all.
This could change, I actually came back to let you guys know if that's a little too much, we could drop each event by a dollar or two. My main focus was to put a little more pressure on everyone. This is up for grabs, I'm okay with any changes.
So far, it looks like 7 are interested, Knuttz, are you coming? BC? Qraq? Alchemist? Seth? (lolBroceidon)

Don't get hit.

Watch videos.
Watch how bairs, dsmashes, ftilts, shines, etc. are used to edgeguard. Bair is a ridiculous move, and its usually all you need to edgeguard Falcon. Grab ledge, drop and jump up on stage while bairing, repeat. Or maybe he goes to recover high so you just stay on stage and jump up and bair him. Or maybe you've hit him so many times with bairs when he goes for the stage/a high recovery that he drops low and aims for the edge and you shinespike him (lol). Falcon has very few options while recovering and bair covers most of them, but its good to know when to throw in other stuff so like I said, watch videos of Fox v. Falcon and note how they edgeguard.
As for general edgeguarding tips, keep your eye on your opponent. Being comfortable enough controlling your character to be able to focus on your opponent helps a lot with timing/spacing. Don't be risky if its unnecessary. And realize that not every attack you throw out while edgeguarding needs to be the final blow; a lot of them are just going to be used to reset your opponent and force them to recover again so you can more comfortably hit them with something that's going to kill them (like jabs and counters instead of just fsmash with Marth).
Aside from edgeguarding, if you can waveshine perfectly than you should be able to link them with usmashes, which are still strong enough to overcome even Falcon's falling speed at a reasonable percent. Same goes for uair.

Tips to beat Captain Falcon with Fox:
Just Nair. A LOT. It's stupid how one Nair can mean 80%+ into an Upsmash kill.
What gnosis said is also true. Bair'ing is ridiculously good, it's not even fair sometimes.
Also, I'll talk to Dan about going.

I'm ok with 5 each.
i think qraq is coming too. to kill with fox? there is a yellow stick with a c on it...flick it..and you kill with fox. but for real....bair, uair, usmash, dsmash, shine?

The yellow stick is our answer to everything.
I feel rather useless without that yellow stick XD

I can bring a melee setup, and WestinBestin won't be able to attend.

I can bring a cube, but I won't be able to bring a TV due to not even knowing what our ride is and not having one.
ahh ThunderCow, I was about to ask if you were Seth changing his name again lol
Turtlehoop, I have 2 extra tvs aside the 2 I've listed in my setups, so that's fine.
Thanks Jack, and sucks WestinBestin isn't coming.
FUN, can't wait. =P
I'm gonna install Tio now.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I'm off to the family gathering

I have a feeling that I'll be in need of gas money, so I can trade a ride to and from for some of the gas money so long as you're on the way.
I'm sorry, I don't understand your post, are you looking for someone needing a ride?
It'd help if you addressed who that was meant to
anyways gonna get 2-3 hours of sleep for Black friday.
I'm seriously just going for the lulz.
because...you gotta do it for the LULZ ;B

churro, if you end up recording everything in one straight recording I could probably split the vids up for you. Im almost done with an experimental byte pattern detection program that should be able to go through and find when a match starts and when it ends and then automate an avisynth script that i use to re-encode with the correct frame ranges for each match. I really need to just put all my new knowledge into another encoding program that you might actually find useful unlike my first attempt that no one ever downloaded. (or cared about)
Mecakoto, are you giving Turtlehoop and Zach a ride? still confused =/
Tate, that sounds incredible, but I really wish I had an external hard drive to make all this easier, I feel that with only 2 minutes putting up roughly 225MB used, we will run out of space.
One thing for sure, I'm willing to give this a try.
So I take it you'll be attending?

I haven't been contacted by either of them so I'm assuming no. If they do, then yes.

Churro, Im not entirely sure whether im coming or not but if i do i will bring one of my external hard drives to use. I got about 250 gb free so if i come you shouldn't have to worry about running out of space.

No, Zach and I are coming up ahead of time to probably hang out with some old buddies of ours.
If there's enough TVs and there's an extra, can we set up Street Fighter on it? <_<

This looks to be epic. I am pumped. Hopefully I can bring a wii.
It's okay, I think I'll just save on my computer, my only worry is a sound desync or video corruption, however, I welcome you to bring an external hard drive if you want copies of all our footage.
EDIT: I think we could record by tournament sets, then use your program to split the matches, whether 2, 3, or 5(finals)
Not sure if you mean come in early to the tourney, but if so, feel free to come, at most, an hour early, I have to host a little late (6pm) because I don't want to disturb my dad while he sleeps, he leaves around 5:30pm to work, so it won't be too bad.
As for Street Fighter IV, I don't mind. I have a PS3 with a copy, but don't really have all characters unlocked for legitimate use.

That's coo', we'd probably have a 360 with everything to play.
We're meeting other friends in Boise earlier in the day, is what I meant.
