[MAJOR] Australian Cyber League (ACL): Melbourne April 9th-10th

[Redact]

yeah i think leisha posted the ruleset somewhere in that thread
good work kas
are you setting up tonight?

Already shifted all TV's over, going there early saturday to simply get them all going but otherwise mostly done.

Also Zac's a champ, Kas I think has bigger issues at hand in comparison to ACL from what I'm assuming (I doubt he would delete his facebook and close his emails just to dodge ACL lol)

 

[Dekar289]

ooo cao predicting an error in the earlbot
ted and zxv are the dark horses for melee imo. they are hungry!

brawl will be so bracket dependent... i'm excited

 

[Splice]

Yeah bracket should be seeded pretty fine

But I cant help upsets like Jei beating Tibs :s
Silly Jei <3

Cao I'm never in your lists </3

 

[Dekar289]

you don't play a tier or higher
in brawl that's forfeiting

 

[Nicks]

ooo cao predicting an error in the earlbot

lol i dont think so, earlbot wont let tibs and a' beating him twice in a row!

 

[Dekar289]

earlbot wont let tibs and a' beating him twice in a row!

looks like his viruses have also made their way into your grammar rofl

 

[Splice]

you don't play a tier or higher
in brawl that's forfeiting

That sentence probably suits Melee better than Brawl in all honesty

GaW gets by fine and I've beaten Attila and Tibs about 3 times each in tourney and they are my worst MUs
(apart from Marth but who is scared of a lil' Shaya?)

Also ZXV uses Peach


I wonder how Earl will go at ACL
Not feeling the MK apparently

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

Kas's issue is that hes a ****ing idiot and needs to L2life.

 

[seaDORF]

How much did those plane tickets cost redact? That's really disappointing that he hasn't showed.

He still hasn't somehow reimbursed oldman and ranga (from robocop) for having to buy new plane tickets after missing their early morning flight. They had to wait around for 6 hours for their next flight. Kas slept in our room last night in melbourne and refused to get up cos he was too tired so by the time they managed to kick him out of the room, they were late for the airport..

 

[CAOTIC]

Redcat, if I win any money I've give you some for reimbursement

 

[Attila_]

i think tibor has got this one.

i have had too much schoolwork to do any practice, and havent watched any videos either. having a national on week 6 of uni was a terrible idea.

 

[CAOTIC]

ummm, less training makes you better

you can't fool me

 

[Attila_]

well i did win last weekend under the same circumstances lol

although even was loling with me :D

 

[Leisha]

Hey SD.

I heard from nova he cant bring his recording equipment anymore and he said you have access to one atm. Would you be able to bring it for me to record brawl? =x Since yeah.... I dont think anyone else has one x_x, (except for redact, but that's being used for melee) If you can, that'd be super awesome <3!

And Redact, this is the brawl ruleset you can place into the OP

Spoiler

General Rules:

Playing non-tournament matches without a Tournament Organizer's consent may result in disqualification. Players may forfeit games and/or sets if their match has been called by a TO and is not started within reasonable time. Please inform a TO of any situations that may hinder you from playing.

Brawl Thriller Ruleset:

Match Settings: 3 Stock | 8 Minute Timer | Items set to "off" and "none"
Matches are played as best of three sets. Championship and Finals (Winners, Losers Semi, Losers) sets are best of five. (Winners semis and Loosers semis will be played as best of 5 sets if we have enough time.) This includes Pool Matches, matches ending with suicide moves that result in Sudden Death have the initiator of the move declared winner. (A) In the case of a match going to time, Sudden Death is not played. A player may not select a stage which they have already won on in the set, unless the opponent agrees. Players are responsible for their own controllers (including connectivity, battery life, etc) and control settings. No unnecessary pausing of the game. (B) Stalling is banned. Actions that cause glitches and/or game freezes which prevent the game from continuing are the responsibility of the player. Extension (Infinite or otherwise) of Meta Knight's Dimension Cape / Down B is banned. The above listed yellow actions may result in the player responsible forfeiting the MATCH or SET. Tournament Organizers hold discretionary powers. Excessive screaming made by a player will be barred from play.

A) Time Out Procedures:

In the case of a time out the winner(s) of the match are declared by (in order):
(Singles Only; Meta Knight only) If the player has more than 25 Ledge Grabs they forfeit the match. Highest [combined] stock count. Lowest [combined] percentage. In the case of not being able to declare a winner, a One Stock Four Minute Decider is played with the same characters and stage. In the case of the Decider time out with the previous conditions, Sudden Death is played out.

B) Stalling:

The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

Set Procedure: [/SIZE][/COLOR]
Opponents select their ports.
Opponents choose their characters.
Double blind selection may be called if a player wishes it.
Opponents strike the starter stages one at a time until there is one remaining.
The first match of the set is played on said stage.
After the match is played the winner may declare a legal stage banned.
The previous match's loser selects a remaining legal stage to be played on.
If the previous match's loser wishes to, they may also counterpick a port.
The winner of the previous match picks character first.
The loser then picks their character.
Steps 4-7 are repeated until a set is completed.

(*) In the case of dispute, a best of one Rock, Paper, Scissors match is played. The winner may select preferred port OR which opponent strikes first. The loser obtains the unselected option. Either this method or both players choose G&W and use the side B attack. (The hammer) Whoever gets the higher number will determine the winner.

Legal Stage List

Starters
Battlefield
Yoshi's Island (Brawl)
Smashville
Pokemon Stadium 1
Lylat Cruise

Counter-picks
Final Destination
Castle Siege
Delfino Plaza
Frigate Orpheon
Halberd



Doubles Subset:

Life Stealing is allowed. Team Attack set to ON. Port Selection, unless in mutual agreement must be in a 1221 format (team 1/team 2). Doubles has additional stages, and hence teams may ban TWO of them during counter-picking.

(dont know about this part yet)
Pot disposition
1st 60%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%

Also ill be providing panadol on the day if anyone needs it. ( I usually do since being in a room all day with tvs makes my head hurt lol )

Hello Smashboards, I am Charlie, brother of harry.
I am posting because Shaya refused to clear up the facts for us, or unban my brother so I am doing it myself.
I am sick of all the bullying and unfair treatment Harry has received at the hands of this club, and I just want to clear up a few lies that have been spread so he isn't so upset.
We're not from South Australia, we live in Fairfield. We do not know anyone from South Australia.
Harry did NOT go to the Melbourne tournament on Sunday, he assumed being banned from the smashboards meant he was banned from the smash club.
He is really upset that he is banned and everybody is making up stuff about him, and if he's allowed to post again hopefully he will cheer up enough to come tomorrow. (If he does, he'll be escorted by me to make sure you don't pick on him, seriously give him a break people.)

 

[Sieg]

I'll escort you if you know what I mean.

By that I mean sex.

With you.

 

[Shaya]

Okay nothing to see here folks.

[dean.]

Uhuh.

Well I can bring a Tv and setups for both games, and a laptop to run Brawl if required.

If there were to be vic vs oos for both games, how big would the crews be?

And yeah, Pony, Gords, you're goin' down. And stuff.

 

[Hermit=D]

Hey if a friend just wanted to come and watch, so not to play, they'd still be paying venue fee, correct?

 

[Dekar289]

[Dekar289]

Hey if a friend just wanted to come and watch, so not to play, they'd still be paying venue fee, correct?

http://www.aclpro.com.au/_/acl-news/acl-melbourne-announced-r23
"Spectating - Free"
i'm guessing (and hoping) that means they don't have to pay the venue fee (surely not)

 

[Hermit=D]

Thanks Dekar, two of my friends might come for a bit. just to watch

 

[Dekar289]

if they're girls, tell them to proceed with caution
just one of harry ponting's sexy combos can and will result in pregnancy (female condom ain't gunna stop ****)

 

[dean.]

Aren't Monkeybear/Blackshadow really good at Melee? A 6 player Melee crew seems good (Syke/SD/Zxv/Ted/Monkey/Blackshadow)

[Dekar289]

me and red vs sd and cao grand finals sounds pretty epic (and it'll actually be a decent contest, unlike tPoO grand finals)
