um how long have you read this thread? lol. KC is pretty much only melee, with only me, fino, and mjg playing brawl. if you want to wifi i dont mind doing it, just not tonight, i have a take home final to do. if you want melee go to cherry smash. if you want melee with some brawl you should come to our jccc meetings.

also E52 is all melee. gigabrawl, which is (i think) going to be in late july, will have brawl and melee.

Of course I'm not good. I use Donkey Kong.
See you guys at Event 52. Should be fun.
Oh you are not going to make character johns in this thread. Jturley plays Young Link and ***** everyone save for our top 6 with him. Andy plays Pikachu and can beat any of us. If Z can be beaten by Kirby, anything can happen.

Speaking of which, Thomas and I were playing a random DotA game and noticed that there was somebody in the game named shfflnair. We talked to him a bit and it turns out it was N64!

So I finished the video today. Except for like credits and stuff. It turned out really well, imo. I think everyone's gonna like it.

Well if there's no cherry smash, then I might as well put it up on youtube tomorrow then. No point in making people wait.

Does anyone know if you have to do anything special to make the vid available in high quality? I'm compressing to quicktime first from Final Cut, and then uploading from there fyi.

Tournament is getting close.

I need to know who can bring a setup to E-52. I'm hoping to have at least 24, more TV's for friendlies is always good though. A setup is a TV AND a gamecube, not just one of them. I'm going to start a list, if you can bring one then step up.

college: 8
darkrain: 5
dmac: 2
stealth: 1
duck: 1
jace: 1
markis: 1
jturley: 1
arkive/8bit: 1
hondafoo: 1
cups: ?
jfro: ?
pryo: ?
pc: ?
phat: ?

Total: 22

Yeah we will also need enough cubes/wii's to cover the college tv's. So if you can bring an extra cube that would be good too.

You guys can use my t.v. again if you need it. The ridiculously heavy 32 inch if jace remembers XD.

You can also use my crappy old t.v.... but it's reaching its last few hours so idk. It'd suck if the screen SD'd in the middle of a tournament match.

Nevermind about seeing the video online today... I hit some big issues in trying to get the video on youtube or fileshare or pretty much anything. The video itself is completely finished in Final Cut form, and it looks great. So today I converted it to quicktime, only to see the file size become 1.4 GB. That's way too big to do anything with, especially put on youtube with their 100mb limit.

And if I compress it down to 100 mb, the video will look terrible. So it's either don't upload it at all or upload a really awful-looking video. Maybe I can mess with the settings though to make it look not quite as bad? I dunno, Final Cut and youtube just don't seem to mix well.

I could do video google for an okay-looking video. I've uploaded stuff there pretty easily before. But I was hoping for youtube so people could see the vid in high quality...

Anyone with uploading experience have any advice?

O_O 1.4 GB? what the.
you could try opening the normal video file in Windows Movie Maker -> File -> Save Movie File -> Computer > Whatever > Best Fit to File Size and make that as small as you can

but it sounds like something is horribly wrong if it's a gigabyte... if you can't get that to work you could burn it to a disc or two and have some of us try to compress it without losing too much quality...

If it's that big just re-export it out of Final Cut at not (Full I'm guessing?) quality, It's not going to make it look horrible, or it shouldn't anyway. How long is the video?

PS: Can I get a count of how many people would still be willing to smash this Saturday? I have the perfect place, It's my aunt's new house, and I think her basement would be amazing for smash, so I thought this would be a good test run to see how well it would work since there won't be everybody. So yeah if I can get enough people to confirm coming I might throw everything together to make it happen. I've got 3 TVs I can bring from my house,and there's two pretty nice TV's at her house we can use, and a few cubes but unfortunately only one melee disk, so I'll need those. I'll tell jfro to bring his and see if I can get a hold of anymore copies. so yeah just post if you can come or not. =)

btw I live about 10 minutes up 435 North from the barrio if you need to know, which is also where my aunt lives. (I'll post address if I get enough people and confirmation on making this happen)

Edit: Oh and I can bring one full setup and an extra cube to E52, and mark Jfro down for one full as well.

Yeah, you guys are probably right. I guess I have to change a lot of the upload settings from Final Cut, and it probably won't look as bad as I made it out to be. The vid is only 6 and a half minutes long, so yeah I probably should have realized that my export from final cut was the problem.

I think I'll have time to try and work this out tomorrow at school. Thanks for the advice guys.

And Pyro I can probably come this Saturday.

I have a ****load of video transcoding software. If you still have problems with it i can probably convert it for you.

Oh, and I'm up for smash this weekend too, Ty.
