Canada [Jul 26, 2014] B.C. Brawl Monthlies - Back in business, now featuring Smash 64! (Burnaby, BC)

[Captain L]

maylayyy

belated happy independence day

 

[Irisz]

Are any of you actually looking for another venue?

 

[Alacion]

I did and I stopped. Honestly, I wonder why bother sometimes.

To clarify, I just don't like the oh I'll wait for somebody else to do it mindset. Everybody should be helping.

 

[dealwithit]

when's the next tournament? i'm just getting back into brawl and i'd definitely come out

 

[Irisz]

As soon as someone finds a venue nearby
Doesn't seem like anyone in Van is looking though

On a side note, I'll be in Coquitlam today looking for possible venues, as it doesn't seem like any of you guys are
Is there anything I should note when looking for one?

• Can they store TVs?
• How many TVs do they have? CRT/HD?
• Do they have Wiis? How many?
• What other events happen? Will it conflict?

Please add on guys. I don't want my trip down there today to be a complete waste

 

[Captain L]

• How large of an area will we be able to use for tournaments, and can we have more floor space every once in a while for phoenix events?
• How much will the venue fee be?
• Will the venue be available for drop-in smashfests?

In order of importance though honestly, storing the TVs is by farrrrr #1, because if they can't store TVs then it'll kinda shaft a lot of people, specifically me and kevin since we'd have to bring a bunch of TVs every time, as well as anyone who we would normally drive but couldn't with TVs in our cars.

Floor space is probably #2, conflicting events #3. Drop in smashfests are pretty important too, since that was kinda what made stronghold so cool. Already having the TVs is honestly not a huge deal since they're like free on craig's list. It would be nice if venue was still $5, $10 is okay too, but any more than that and it's not really viable for smashfests since nobody wants to pay 15$ when you could just go to someone's house for free. Wiis is literally no issue at all since everyone SHOULD bring one every tournament. =|

Oh one more moderately important one, but it's not really a question to ask but more of a statement that the owner should know, and will probably inquire about anyways. Let them know what our attendance will be like, fluctuating anywhere between 10 on a really small tourney to 25 on a pretty good sized one, and closer to 35 if we ever get a good phoenix event planned.

 

[Irisz]

Went to a few places in Coquitlam, but no luck.
Gonna come by later and look for future places after more research/recommendations.

I also had some mighty fine friendlies with Jake/Dawson
Cept I was johning about jumps LOL
But they were still mighty fine friendlies

 

[Blunted_object10]

I will help look after Evo. (After next weekend)

 

[SKidd]

u can't say no 2 blunted obJECT

 

[Irisz]

Well I'm looking for decent music to mix up my Brawl with
Any kind of battle music, menu-kind-of-music, or just something that you can see in Brawl

You guys have any ideas?
Even if it might sound odd, just yell it out. I want some new music to play with lol

 

[| Big D |]

I'm not sure if this would work on a stage but this music has been on my menu for quite some time.

This was the song that played during the two longest and most difficult sets I've had to play and managed to come through.

Now whenever I hear it it's like a reminder to believe in myself.

 

[Alacion]

The (newer) Coquitlam Library might be an option since it has hosted Brawl stuff before.

 

[Alphicans]

Just come to AB

 

[Irisz]

The (newer) Coquitlam Library might be an option since it has hosted Brawl stuff before.

Would you want to go and ask them?
They might seem so appropriate, as it IS a library and it might get mad hype in there
(I'm assuming this library is the one near Cent/porier)

If you can't go, I'll try to come out sometime

 

[Alacion]

Probably better to e-mail the person in the article:

http://www.library.coquitlam.bc.ca/programsandevents/Teens/Super+Smash+Bros.+Brawl+Tournament.htm

 

[~Firefly~]

I'll keep the library thing in mind. There's another library within walking distance from the Lougheed skytrain station that I might check out. They do run events for teens and stuff, including regular movie nights, but it seems unlikely we'd be able to store TVs, even if we could get the go-ahead for a smash event.

Also, huge shoutouts to Irisz for all he's been doing over the last month or so.

Edit: The libraries close at 6. That doesn't bode well, especially considering how many people can't even show up for 12. >.>

 

[Captain L]

BC is mad flaky most of the time

 

[Alacion]

I also recommend contacting community centres. Many of them (like Hyde Creek in Port Coquitlam) have spacious rooms available. I am not sure what the rental fees are since you have to contact them for that.

 

[| Big D |]

Rental fees go by occupancy. I was looking at rates in Vancouver it's like $25 - $35 an hour for a room which can hold 15 or less and it's $30 - $40. Also I know for the one at Kits it closes on Saturdays at 5 and you need to pay large additional fees if you want to stay past that.

One idea however is maybe trying to set something up with a highschool, they may want the TVs and wouldn't mind having events there that students could participate in, but I don't know.

 

[~Firefly~]

I looked into Hyde Creek a while back when we were transitioning out of Home Video. I recall them closing at 5 on Saturdays. =[

 

[SKidd]

i miss home video

 

[~Firefly~]

So do I. =[

 

[SKidd]

omgggggg bc <33

 

[| Big D |]

My first tourney was the last Home Video tourney.

That must have been some sort of omen.

 

[Alacion]

Wow I did not expect this... Lucario/Peach went to -2 but Diddy and Falco didn't get worse.
Marth is definitely -2 and Snake is her newest -3...

And http://smashboards.com/threads/official-swf-matchup-chart-v3-0.338390/page-4#post-15666836!

I just saw it and it makes a lot more sense to me. Peach doesn't beat ICs and Wolf isn't better than Fox. =)

[StarWaffle]

ignore me, melee is back.

sorry for double post. SmashBoards doesn't let me edit. Unless this gets merged then ignore me again.

 

[~Firefly~]

Well that was an interesting 4 hours.

 

[Irisz]

So at the smashfest I organized today
I was asked to use other characters so that they can learn from me
But

They asked me to play
*shudders*

 

[SKidd]

play melee with them!

 

[Blunted_object10]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[| Big D |]

u got disssssssssss

 

[| Big D |]

Would anybody be down to smash on Sat?

 

[Irisz]

I might be able to make it on Saturday
But it's also my bday that day
Hence why I might be able to go LOL (since my mom will let me go where I want)

 

[| Big D |]

K jer said he'd be willing to make the commute if 2 others went. Need like another person to say they're down and we'll have something.

So many flakes tho.

 

[Captain L]

So I kinda want to gauge whether or not there is legitimate interest in people joining me for a carpool up to edmonton for the tourney. Rules are you can't flake out at the last second, since I don't want to book the day off only to find out that it's gonna be me driving 14 hours by myself into a strange new province.

fox has 3 matchups that are -3 and 0 that are -2

 

[Alphicans]

^Would be super cool if people came

 

[Captain L]

^ if not for me, do it for luke

 

[StarWaffle]

Will go i there's an empty seat. If a more skilled player wants my seat I'll they can have it.

 

[| Big D |]

Just believe in yourself.

If you believe you can achieve.
