[Jul 5, 2014] PSG Presents: Rise of The Phoenix -- A Phoenix Saga 7 Qualifier (Ann Arbor, MI)

[Xatic]

Phoenix Saga Gaming brings you the first tournament of the PS7 Qualifying Circuit. This will run similarly the same as the APEX Qualifiers we've seen in the past but with more free reign on our end. The points you earn here will be used for seeding purposes at Phoenix Saga 7 on August 30th and 31st. These are mostly for seeding people we are not quite aware of yet. If you have any further questions about the points system and the qualifying circuit in general you are welcome to post it here in the thread and myself or Tech Chase will get back with you about it.

Points System:
1st place - 10 points
2nd place - 8 points
3rd place - 6 points
4th place - 4 points
5th place 2 points
7th place 1 point

Ruleset:

Brawl: http://www.apex-series.com/rules/brawl/


Project M: http://www.apex-series.com/rules/projectm/

We will be using the Apex 2014 ruleset for P:M WITH some little changes made (we're looking for a stagelist to use for PS7 so any feedback on this AFTER the tourney is much appreciated)

Project M Stagelist:

Starters:
Final Destination
Smashville
Battlefield
Dreamland
Pokemon Stadium 2

Counterpicks:
Yoshi's Story (banned in doubles)
Fountain of Dreams (banned in doubles)
Yoshi’s Island (Brawl)
Wario Ware
Green Hill Zone
Distant Planet
Skyworld
Dracula's Castle

Since I took out a couple stages (Lylat, Skyloft, and PS1) We will be going back to the 2 stage ban per counterpick process. And instead of striking 1-2-2-1 for starting stage you instead strike 1-2-1. Ask me at the venue if you have any further questions about this.

*To be edited at a later date*

 

[Zackery Hendricks]

Liking the pm stagelist a lot. Good **** psg (y)

 

[Maestro_]

I'd agree with that other than I've always thought there shouldn't be 2 pokemon stadiums (to have to waste 2 bans on). But good stage list.

 

[Xatic]

My first cutoff would probably be PS1 or Skyloft is that makes you feel better.

The transformations on PS1 are too awkward in PM and Skyloft has that one platform HELLA close to the blastzone.

 

[Ori_bro]

mayhaps I will visit.

 

[SoulPech]

soooooo many counterpicks X_X

I'll put this up as a yes for now. I'll see if i can get Carls to come.

 

[Nominate10]

I should be able to come...

 

[Ralph Cecil]

 

[SoulPech]

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

If I'm not busy + if someone convinces NEOH, I'll go

 

[SoulPech]

I'm going and I need a teammate for this if @ Carls493 isn't going.

@Anther ?
@LOE1 ?
@ Solharath ?
Lordy?
@Zinoto ?

>.>

 

[Solharath]

I'll be teaming with Lordy. If he can't make it... Aaaaanther? Then I'll go for you SoulPech, but like... you know why. >>;

I'm about to get chewed out royally at work. This fits between Florida and another big weekend for me, so I don't even know if I'll get it off. This is gonna be nuts.

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

I'm going and I need a teammate for this if @ Carls493 isn't going.

@Anther ?
@LOE1 ?
@ Solharath ?
Lordy?
@Zinoto ?

>.>

If your talking about Project M I could be your teammate if I even come if Carls493 can't come

 

[Nominate10]

I'm pretty sure I'm coming so someone should team with me.

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

If anyone needs a teammate you can ask me if I come!

 

[Carls493]

I'll try to go. I'll need to request a day off from, work, but I'll try. There's a high chance that I might not be able to this time, though

I must note that I'm also aiming to attend Matsuricon the week before PS7 this August, however.

**** you too bro, you didn't even mention me and I body Super and Keifer, np. But I see how it is.

 

[Ori_bro]

He isn't ready for what would happen if you guys team Benji.

 

[SoulPech]

**** you too bro, you didn't even mention me and I body Super and Keifer, np. But I see how it is.

Doesn't mean much if you have a winning record, lol. I have winning records against both of them too. Plus,
I don't know who you are...
:/

(though i haven't played them since the last update and they beat me and carls the last time we fought, which I don't think will happen again )

 

[Juushichi]

Hm.............................

 

[sneakytako]

Good lord there's so many big stages on the PM stagelist. Q.Q

 

[SoulPech]

Good lord there's so many big stages on the PM stagelist. Q.Q

Almost like they want Wario/Jiggs/Sonic to win

 

[sneakytako]

Like why bother with bans? It's not like you can ban 5 huge stages.

 

[whitmorethetoadpirate]

Like why bother with bans? It's not like you can ban 5 huge stages.

Just play Fox like me and usmash/uair them at like 100 and win your game anyway.

He isn't ready for what would happen if you guys team Benji.

If only he did Ori, if only he did.

 

[zyth]

can i get a ride to this?

 

[Xatic]

Added the room number.

This is next weekend already >_>

 

[Ori_bro]

Hope this event goes well, I'll be in Indianapolis for Pokémon TCG Nationals~

 

[SoulPech]

Deconfirmed

Family Johns.

4th of July weekend.

 

[SoulPech]

Can't tell if Ori liking that status is good or bad...

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Should be getting my bus ticket today. :D

 

[Hyper Crasher]

Looking forward to this. It'll be nice to come back and actually go to more tourneys again.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Hypeeeeeeeeee

 

[sneakytako]

I'll talk with the fellas here, I kinda want to go to a MI tourney. I haven't seen you peeps in a minute.

 

[Carls493]

I was moreover confirmed for this than before, but since SoulPech can't go, I don't have a ride anymore.

Oh well. Good thing I checked this thread again.

 

[zyth]

is anyone else from OH going?

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

is anyone else from OH going?

• I'll might go! OH SWAG!

 

[zyth]

If you do go could you pick me up from Cedar Point?

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

If you do go could you pick me up from Cedar Point?

But I'm only 12 Years Old!

 

[Huntmang]

I've never been to a tourney before, but a friend and I would love to come out to this one! Does anyone have a rough estimate of how many people typically come to these? As long as I'm not working I'm so there.

 

[Xatic]

it's normally anywhere from 20-40 unique players.

Depends on the game(s) you wanna play really tho.

Hope to see you there
