[MAJOR] Reloaded VIII - July 16th 2011 (Adelaide) 1ST PLACE NOW $1000

[Splice]

of course it takes time to tap into the skills they implanted in you

 

[Attila_]

the main thing i learnt in japan is that ice climbers are terrible.

and now i use them again.

hmm....

 

[luke_atyeo]

Ain't the first one too (8

I've broken like one a year since 09 lol

haha I dont think anyone can ever top the breaking of turtles controller, that was the funniest **** I have ever seen.


and yeah, unless djb gets like 23rd or something like I did (always gotta brag about things that arnt worth bragging about) he can forget it.

oh wait, zenkai's... right well since he's so bad and got smashed and came dead last, he will be much much stronger when he gets back

"pulled on my scarf and hurt my neck a little"
would have been a bit of an understatement.

I dont really want to get into this, because I'm sure the first thing someone will think when they read this is 'goddammit, there goes this thread for the next week'
however, you do over exadurate these things quite abit, have you never been beaten up before?
what happened to you is most likely nothing, not that I was there or anything but from experiance...

one time I got you in a playful headlock for a nougie, and you freaked out and hit me several times in some crazy spasim to get out, I lol'd pretty hard at that.
and then one time I apparently shouted in your ear, and you turned around and punched me in the face... oh man THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen at a tourney (sorry tom) and then claimed that my malicious verbal attack on your ears was far more damaging then you physically striking me (which may have actually been the case since you cannot hit very hard, eat more meat please) which is a load of **** really, I read in the paper today that some guy punched another guy who was getting in his face, and that guy died, from a single punch to the eye, and it happens quite a bit really if you read the news, but how often do you hear of people dying or being assaulted or injured from being yelled at?

anyways, the point of this shaya, is that you do tend to over exadurate and play the victim somewhat, and in theory his pulling of your scarf, is no different from you hitting me when I yelled in your ear or whatever (last time I ever say hello to you eh?)

anyways, carry on.

 

[Teran]

Man I thought the Australians would be a lot less catty than the yanks but I guess I was wrong.

Don't you have better things to talk about than "OMG U DID THIS" "OHHH GIRL IT'S ON NOW"?

Like really stop it.

 

[Leisha]

Someone needs to close this thread asap please, before it just keeps fueling with more rage.

[luke_atyeo]

hey, at least its helping people vent instead of keeping it bottled up

 

[Splice]

didnt realise there was any issues worth moderating in this thread rofl
I think the discussion is good and healthy

its obvious from some posts that some people seem to need a bit of closure
and in the end it will help people move on, alternative to never settling the issues. Doesnt matter if people intend to forgive and forget or not.


Nov 18 - Tony took twenty tip trucks out from Tonka to give to his family for Christmas (Memo 241)

 

[luke_atyeo]

exactly, have abit of spine guys and leave the thread open

 

[Teran]

hey, at least its helping people vent instead of keeping it bottled up

I'm sure you can all conrtact each other offsite, I mean you do go to tournaments together.

If you have issues take them somewhere more appropriate like not in this thread.

Edit: I never said anything about locking, but this *****ing is really really lame and you should stop doing it here.

 

[Corpsecreate]

I'm just surprised that for once the conversation has nothing to do with me

 

[Splice]

It's not even off topic though.
It's relating to issues that happened at this tournament.
w/e

Out of interest, why are you dropping in Teran?
We have aussie mods so i assume its just you surfing the boards

@Corpse: You don't deserve any hate, you are a champ.
This conversation is way less lame than TV lag too.

Dec 10 - Sales included 20 tonka tip trucks and 50 Grey Front End Loaders (Inv. A1213)

 

[Teran]

I'm dropping in because Aussie mods are asleep.

 

[Splice]

As good a reason as any.

 

[Corpsecreate]

I liked the TV lag discussion. Wheres Gords to back me up, I think he would have found it interesting too

 

[Splice]

But it's so boring! -5 champ points.

 

[Teran]

Nah man I once beat a Pikachu thanks to TV lag it was pretty funny.

 

[Corpsecreate]

It doesnt matter what Splice does/says. Always + ∞ champ points for him.

 

[Splice]

<3 Corpse

Sometimes I wish I could feel input lag, so I could really relate with this discussion, but I think in the end it's a blessing.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

how have ther been 10 pages of posts in a day?...

 

[Splice]

The tournament was just THAT GOOD, obviously.

Alternatively because I am replying to everything instead of doing Accounting SAC

Dec 22 - Cash sales included 30 Tonka Trucks, 2 Diggers and 30 Grey Loaders (Rec. 471)

 

[Corpsecreate]

how have ther been 10 pages of posts in a day?...

Because you dont have enough posts per page in your settings.

@Splice
I'd much rather not be able to feel input lag, then you dont get frustrated by it ;/

Shoutouts

Nova: Being banned you probably won't read this, but thanks again for the tournament and everything you did to make it happen. I know you weren't overawed by the end result, btu it was a solid tournament, especially as it all went down in just one day.

Zac: WTF are you doing MATE? In all srsness you probably should have won. Spaz.

Kas: Sif not just try a little bit and actually win - you've still got it, shame you're a tard like Zac <3

ZXV: Deserving winner. I'm happy to see you finally take out a major and honestly you earnt it. You've been the most steadily improving player for a long time and this was only a matter of time for you.

Ted: Same with Bryte you've come a long way in melee and will most likely continue to do so. $100 MM next time?

Ben: So glad you made it to this, always good to see you son. It was no Fraser, but good times nonetheless, shame you couldn't hit the casino with us.

Shaya: Shame about all the drama, but good to see you all the same. Really thought you were going to beat Corpse but I guess you're motivtion died a little.

Atticus: We didn't get to play much, but your fox is pretty impressive. Nice work.

Monkeybear: As always awesome to catch up/smash with you. Nice work on 4th place too, a well earned result. As for our match I won't john, you outplayed me, looking forward to a rematch though, one of my favourite ppl as always

Blackshadow: You're beast as well, didn't get to see any of your matches and only got a couple of games in, next time.

2sxc: Nice to finally meet you sir, hopefully get to catch up better next time.

Attila: Ah son, always good to be reunited. Good work in Brawl, i never doubted you for a moment, 2G mate.

Tibor: Sif lose - noob. My Diddy probably > than yours haha. Nah but srs thanks for helping me almost beat Corpse and being your general madt dog self. You'll have to pull up a chair at the poker table next time.

Phil: Good rage mate - keep it up and grats on teams.

Dekar: Learn to JC Grab. And don't **** me so hard next time it hurt lol. I think by the time we played I was burnt out pretty bad smashwise, but even if I was on my game I think you might have edged it anyways. Keep on beasting mate, and you should have bought that hooker for us all with your $$$

Apollo: THanks for co-hosting the tournament and everything dude, you di a great job. Sorry for knocking you out of Brawl, you're certainly the better player I think I just got lucky this time.

Corpse: Good games in Brawl sir, probably the closest couple of matches I've had in a long while. Hopefully I helped warm you up for Shaya and Earl Good to see you again, still not sure why people hang **** on you, you're a good dude.

Sorry if I missed people, this was haphazard.

 

[Alzi]

one time I got you in a playful headlock for a nougie, and you freaked out and hit me several times in some crazy spasim to get out, I lol'd pretty hard at that.
.

Luke remember when you head locked me lols.

 

[The_Blue_Bomber]

What the **** is going on here.

Drama everywhere.

 

[The_Wookie]

What the **** is going on here.

Drama everywhere.

Meh it was serious enough that they asked me to take a quiet hand, but I believe they resolved it all, at least amicably without much by the way of Reloaded management assistance. And that makes the whole tourney a win in my book.

We like Smash, we like the Smash community and we were very pleased to have you guys out in force. Thanks especially to the people who assisted by bringing TVs. (our big 60" LGs have always been known to have slight lag issues which is why we generally dont assign them to Smash tournaments.) Rest assured if we run another reloaded then mash will be on the menu.

 

[EverAlert]

remember how you, ea were like 'man scoot, you're gonna get *****' in my first match when ted returned and I beat him.
that was funny.

Oh how naiive I was... But then again, he really did just win the first tourney back home when he wasn't even considered top 3 pre-Genesis.

Maybe you guys should start going to Japan.

I intend to man, been planning on this for ages. (I still don't even know why I'm in this discussion atm. xD)

the main thing i learnt in japan is that ice climbers are terrible.

and now i use them again.

hmm....

Clearly you should go to Japan with me in Dec/Jan (or whenever we actually go, I don't even know anymore). ICs are amazing though, nobody knows anything. >:

 

[Zxv]

Did anybody pick up a pile of 3x Melees (two of them being special edition with silver cases) + a regular brawl case from the venue afterwards?

 

[Ant1]

I think i remember seeing those on a chair at the event.

 

[Dekar289]

i have leisha's controller (bidoof sticker)
who picked up mine? (white gamecube controller)

 

[Grim Tuesday]

White Gamecube controller is really vague, almost everyone has them :/

 

[tibs7]

Yeah I have them.

i have leisha's controller (bidoof sticker)

I picked up a white controller also. Someone has my White controller with a Metaknight sticker on it.

 

[Zxv]

Yeah I have them.

Great, great.

We'll work something out next week.

 

[S.D]

There was a random white controller at Nova's in leish's room...

 

[Atticus]

Huge thanks to Nova for your very generous financial support of this tournament and players who came to it, and hosting so many of us at your place.

Thanks for teaming with me Earl. You're a good partner - love your eagerness to learn, adapt and understand the game better

Good to see all the SA folks, first time seeing 2SXC since around when I joined the scene at Comrades 1 (!!), first time meeting Oli and Nova, great to see Eric and Marc again. Sorry you didn't play as well as you could have Marc, we all have a run of bad luck now and then - I'm sure you'll do better next time though. Grats on your great placing Eric - go for even higher at BAM, and I'll try to catch back up by then

Good to see everyone else too, enjoyed playing everyone I got the chance to! Congratulations ZXV for taking a tournament off Dekar, you're just lucky he didn't bring back peach though

 

[ImperfeCt]

Bah... Of course I decide I miss smash way too much not to look into the Australian scene a week and a half late. What were the results for this and what is the emphasis among the Aussie smash community (i.e melee or brawl)?

Any vids up from the event?

I've been living in Wollongong, NSW the past year and a half and haven't been playing Smash since I came here, but I figured it was time to check out the Aussie community. Any other players in the proximity? I'm only interested in melee really.

 

[Jamage]

Guess I'll link you to some of the useful parts of the forum:
BAM2K11: The next Australian major tournament in Melbourne. Several South Australians will be attending.
Reloaded Aftermath: The most recent South Australian major, hopefully this should give you an idea of what the competitive scene is like in Aus.
Valhalla: One of the two SA tournaments.
SA Brawl Power Rankings: Top ten Brawl players in SA.
SA Melee Power Rankings: Top ten Melee players in SA.
WWWWWWW: The Australian social boards, come here to chill with other aussies.
Cao's Introduction to Aus Smash Thread: Gives a little bit of history and some useful links.

Grim posted some usefull links for someone else, guess they can be used here also. Good work Grim

 

[Attila_]

i still haven't got around to shoutouts, and am now questioning whether i ever will...

in case i don't, a huge thanks to nova for running and organizing a very successful event, and for housing the hype. it was a lot to do for one person, but he managed, and we all owe him big time. oh, and he essentially gave me a grand <3
