Do you guys have any tournaments to go to in November? A guy just posted on the SRK thread about a tourney in Columbia on Nov. 5th. Not very many details yet, I don't think he even has a thread yet but I just wanted to give some heads up.

 

[dmac]

[Zivilyn Bane]

I believe that was Akuma starting his monthlies.

This one may work better if you guys are trying to hang out in Nebraska, and it's a long ways away so you can plan. Also, it may be at David (cue's) place if attendance looks big, i.e. if you guys come.

 

[papermarkis]

How about that Metaknight

 

[Strong Badam]

Metaknight has been banned in Melee tournaments since 2010, idk what the fuss is about.

 

[dmac]

i found out is because it was on srk news :x

 

[Massive]

I lol'd pretty hard when I heard the news.

It has made Brawl even more of a joke to the traditional fighting game communities now.

 

[rei_vincent]

Yeah I only saw it because of SRK, but all in all, at least it makes that game somewhat tourney viable... LOL. Good changes though, just as long as you don't mind playing a boring *** game.

 

[dmac]

yeah i'm really interested in seeing how the metaknight players adapt(if they even choose to continue playing, i'd be super salty)

jace just come over and play castlevania harmony of DESPAIR all night

 

[only1Z]

Real games, what are those...The thread is full of EU qq and mocking us for seeing the need to ban MK. I'm going to assume m2k will still have a vice grip on the tourney scene though. Long live our new lords masters. Snake and DeDeDe

 

[Stealth Raptor]

ill be honest. mk being banned does not change the game. all the *****ing mid level players will still be bad mid level players, this bad game will still be bad, and it will still be boring. the problem is brawl not mk

 

[Jace08]

jace just come over and play castlevania harmony of DESPAIR all night

niiice it has co-op, you know my weakness lol

let's talk about brawl some more

 

[Stealth Raptor]

about how apparently some places are now banning ics cg? i have lost all hope for the brawl community

 

[Strong Badam]

there was ever any hope?

 

[Stealth Raptor]

i tried man :x at least the pika community was chill, and the local one somewhat. stayed away from all the other garbage though

 

[MegaRobMan]

Would like to point out that the BEST VERSION OF STREET FIGHTER EVER EVER EVER has a character banned. Does that make it a joke? Brawl is bad (mostly due to the competitive rules), but banning MK doesn't make it a bad game, it makes the rules committee bad, especially since they are catering towards the characters they play :/

Didn't see raptors post until after I posted that...banning IC's CG=rofl. That's different than infinite's imo.

 

[only1Z]

Opinions...

 

[rei_vincent]

Best version of street fighter is sf2? roflololol. You're also comparing a game that was made before competitive gaming existed to a game made like 3 years ago

 

[Deleted member]

mk should have been banned in 2008

 

[Perfect Duck]

If you think the brawl community is bad, have you heard about competetive Pokémon?

 

[Stealth Raptor]

and you havent heard me rant on how bad that community is? they make brawlers like like mature fourty year olds

 

[MegaRobMan]

Well, Super Street Fighter 2, one of the few people who actually played it on the 3DO. That game was the only reason to own that system.

 

[sanchaz]

are you guys going to the big house?

 

[dmac]

just to nitpick, akuma was only in super turbo, not sf2 or super sf2 (fun fact: just banned in america, not japland, there was just a universal agreement to not use him or old sagat)

there was competitive gaming all throughout the sf 2 games, even plain old sf2, and super turbo had enough of a tournament scene to even have hard character bans. just because there weren't national level tournaments doesn't mean there wasn't competitive gaming

if you've seen king of kong a fistful of quarters, they've had competitive vidja gaming since 1983 with like... old *** arcade games

quick wiki action for multiple player competitive gaming on a national level that would be similar to what we think of when we think competitive gaming

"To accompany the launch of Doom II, Microsoft held the first offline tournament for PC players, Deathmatch '95. Deathmatch '95 (aka Judgment Day Deathmatch 95 & Dwango’s Deathmatch 95) was aimed to be a competitive offline gaming tournament featuring the most popular title of the year, Doom II. This format, with gamers attending a single location and using standardized hardware, has defined eSports competitions since."

 

[MegaRobMan]

I missed the word turbo, that is fact.

Also, I consider getting world records in 1 player games to be competitive gaming, see King of Kong as well. And my attempt at the MM1 record

Sooooooooo.....

Why does a melee thread care about MK getting axed?

 

[Strong Badam]

because of paperblackis

 

[only1Z]

Just because we don't play it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It brings up an interesting topic on the whole variance of competitive fighting games.

 

[Phatgamer1]

**** everyone who said anything about brawl in my topic on its 1000th page.

I'm drunk.

God dammit. Wanted the 15,000th post too. DONT WASTE IT WHOMEVER POSTS AFTER ME!

 

[Stealth Raptor]

i just wanted to say this is an awesome community and i wish brawl never came into existence :D

 

[only1Z]

And to think, it's only Monday.
