You forgot to include Smash 4 Wii U in the schedule, and the 3DS doesn't need link cables.

Who is the TO for this event? Is it going to be Evan this time? All I know is the last even was run horribly. I doubt the last TO will be present, but god have mercy if they some how return as TO, I will not be attending.

Can you go into more detail about what bothered you last time? They can use that to gauge improvement so the experience will be better next time.

I'm not seeing melee up there guys. Whats up with melee? Some melee tournaments have been hosted before here with great success and i'm guessing this store was having a huge influence on growing the melee scene here so i'm sad to see its not hosting melee tournaments as often. What can be done to change this?

A few things I felt went wrong last time:

The TO was not at the front desk for most of the walk in sign ups.

We need dedicated helpers for the TO. When you have 100+ like we do, you NEED help.

When melee, or pm is suppose to be played, all setups should be setup for that game. At least till they have reached semis. We don't need anything else going on during melee singles etc. We trying to start and finish in the same day. We don't need people doing friends when others need to play, or setups for the fame (s) we aren't playing atm.

The TO should not be in ALL THE EVENTS. Wtf. Hell, I don't think the TO should be in ANY of the main events. That slowed us up big time. We need a dedicated TO.

People shouldn't just refuse/"wait around" to play b/c they wanna be on stream. We wanna advance within a timely fashion, thank you.

The last event was about 3 or more hours behind schedule, for every single event. Why? Because some of the previous things I mentioned. You know how absurd it is, having ALL the events pushed back 3+ hours?

We also ran smash 4. It just came out within 7 days. I get it has hype, but i felt it was too soon. It didn't help that everyone wanted to play it ether. We had 3 events, each with 50+ people in each, going on, at the same time. Everything moved at a snails pace.

We are also reaching that point where 1UP is becoming, "cramped. "

TO wasn't in all the events. TO played 3 sets of Melee/P:M dubs, and 4 sets of Smash 4. People didn't wait around to play on stream from my understanding, and not all events were pushed back 3 hours. We had WAY more people than expected, and nobody brought setups. And if they did, they were one game or the other.

Also, I took a 2 minute bathroom break during signups. I don't know where you think I was gone to, but I was signing people in for an hour and a half. Yes, it ran longer than it should have, but get your facts straight before you go and bash me as a TO. If you feel you can do a better job, then please step up to the plate.

And to answer the question, I will likely be in attendance, but not running any events.

I mean... You guys can complain and such but I think 2 points are very important here...

1. There's simply a limit to how fast a large tourney can run, particularly one with 5 events and roughly 100 entrants in very limited space..
2. The tourneys that Cody has run in Greenville have been infinitely better than any other Greenville tourneys... Because... You know.... Nobody else has run one.

Complain if you want, but it's not like Cody has been paid to run most of these, and he likes the games too, so it's not really fair to dictate that he shouldn't enter.
Could they have been better? Sure... But hindsight is perfect and I really don't think anybody has solid ground to complain without just looking like a butt.

We'll see how this one goes... It's a lighter tournament, event wise, but I'll be surprised if it goes faster.
I'm already completely vexed by the decision to make two smash 4 singles events but not have doubles...

ITT: ez pretends he knows how to run tournaments. All you've ever done is moan and complain about me behind my back, and then proceed to practically beg to be put on power rankings even though you're nowhere near good enough. I took your spoiled ass to KiT and always invited you to stuff. These days, you act like you're big in the community like we OWE you something, even though you've never done a damn thing for us. If you issues with me, man up and message me instead of gossiping like a damn 14 year old girl.

That one might have been a bit too harsh...

Anywho...
So I'm probably not winning all events coming to this, unfortunately. We'll see but I doubt it

The last tournament on Oct.4 that I've participated from last year is the problem! I actually want to know about other rules of playable or not-allowed playable characters before this tournament starts, but my favorite character is my personal avatar is Mii Fighter: Brawler and Sonic The Hedgehog, but just in case if I can't use my Mii Fighter in this year's tournament, then I'll play as Sonic The Hedgehog with no longer to worries about any rules changing during this tournament to the very last minute or whatever! P.S: Tell me, if it's ok to use Mii Fighters in Tournament or they're actually ban, despite they say: Mii Fighters are broken characters!?

From the rules on the Facebook page, miis are banned. I think it's more of a problem about sizes and weights than them being broken


Speaking of rules, skyloft is sorely missing. :(

I wrote the rules for it, and the reason behind the Mii ban is the fact that they're inconsistent from console to console, and since there's a 3DS tournament as well, it's way easier for everyone to use the Mii they're used to. Again, I just wrote the rules. It's up to the TO to decide if they wanna use'em or not.

Skyloft was omitted due to a couple things, but it's mostly due to having too many stages imo. I don't like the stage very much as there are certain spots like the waterfall that can kill you depending on character. It'd likely be a fine counterpick, but I'm trying to keep my stagelist to a 10 stage max.

Again, I'm not TO, so the tournament could change their mind. I'll be enjoying the game either way.

I hadn't spoke anything bad about you, till after Matt showed me a conversation between the you two, where you constantly bad mouthed me. If you don't want others to just talk trash on you, try to at least keep it to yourself.

I got bad news to tell y'all that I can't be at this tournament on this Saturday morning! Because, 1. I don't have a Wii U console, yet! 2. Personally, that I really needed the Soundtrack and especially Mewtwo as a playable character for free DLC by registering 3DS & Wii U Versions before it's too late! So, let me know, when there's next time tournament again somewhere this New year of 2015 and a Happy New Year to all my friends on Smashboards for hoping what's to expect in T-I-M-E?! P.S: Please, send me message on my Facebook account:https://www.facebook.com/raheem.nelson.96

Hey i'd just like to probe with my other question again since it doesn't look like it was addressed. Why isn't Melee being used in a smash tournament of all things? I'd like to know what is swaying you guys to keep it out of the tournament so maybe we can come up with some agreeable criteria based on fixing those problems to encourage melee tournaments to happen more often at the store.

This isn't just a smash tournament. Melee isn't being held to save time, as PM has been the bigger draw in the upstate (although we'll see if that continues)

Melee will likely be at the next one. It's getting hard to satisfy people in a one day tourney tho with 3 playable smashes... I'm glad smash 4 Wii u is finally getting its first upstate tourney.

As a note, I'm just a messenger, not the TO.

oh also for anybody who will not check the Facebook page, smash Wii u is starting at noon now.
