March 15-16 (FINAL ROUND)11 The Southern Tradition Continues

[DP's Mario]

Are you guys ********? You, 112, laijin, and who ever the hell posted before me have no idea what you're doing. Do you have any idea the level of appreciation you should have simply because of the fact that Larry took the effort to come by our boards and tell us about this tournament?

If anyone was ever terrible at a game and had the desire to be good, the first step would be showing up at a tournament this insanely huge. Justin Wong and Sanford Kelly has been attending this for the last few years, along with many other insanely good fighting game players. Mike G was even there last year. And I'm sure that they're players most of you in the Smash Community are too naive to have ever heard of. If you played other competitive games with the same basic principal involved, not only would you realize that there is a world outside of Smash World Forums, but also that we are no where near the largest community for a competitive game. Come watch the finals for MvC2 and tell me exactly what's going on on the screen while having just played Smash Brothers and nothing else. Realize that this tournament is bigger than just about any fighting game tournament that's ever been held for a fighting game in the south. MLG Atlanta? lololololololololol.

This is a very reputable tournament, and if you don't start appreciating it as such, then not only do you look incredibly uninformed, but you'll also miss out on the chance to really learn something about competitive fighting games when you go. There is no doubt in my mind that whatever fighting game you play, if it's at Final Round, you leave the tournament at least twice as good as when you showed up. It's the most massive amount of tournament experience you can get at once without having to leave Georgia.

This tournament is going to be insane with or without Smash Brothers, so quit whining and moaning and f*cking man up to some competitive play.

Also, none of you can beat me in Super Turbo. Wonder how I learned Smash so quick? It's not all I played. I know other tactics and mind games for other games in general. Everyone in Georgia better show up to this tournament considering that it's going to be my last fighting game tournament for a long time. So like I said, there's no excuse not to be at a tournament this huge. You're bound to learn something, no matter how hard headed you try to be.

Quoted for mudda *****' truth...

 

[Alternate275]

Pwned!
That message was straight Pwnage xD

 

[Gerbil]

^.^ Actually, I agree with some of Chad's underlying points. This tournament is insane and I'm seriously glad they picked up Smash for it. I heard about this series when I used to browse the MLG boards (I don't quite remember how. I just know a Tekken 5 player had brought it up in search of larger fighting game tournies.)

Chad makes an excellent point about this being big and that we will all learn shizzle. And of course, in the future as it returns to Atlanta, the tournaments will only get better and better

 

[Dogysamich]

/me laughs and shakes his head.

I still dont agree or really "appreciate" what's going on; but apparently im crazy for what im thinking, so im going to leave my arguement out of this.

I might still show up, i dont know, but something tells me when brawl finally breaks, im gunna have to go somewhere else for a while.

/me laughs again.

I dunno, i dont think im crazy. But apparently I am.

 

[Laijin]

I'm not man enough to handle my big black c0ck. So I get other men to handle it for me.

Yea...I think we all know that, Alpha.

 

[DP's Mario]

Yea...I think we all know that, Alpha.

XD....Ya'll are too funny.

Hopefully ya'll ain't serious.

 

[Gerbil]

I got another one for you Blanka.

Gerard "Peru": Columbus, GA

He'll be there for Brawl.

Also: What's the price for doubles on SSBB? I see singles is 10$. ^.^ Thanks.

 

[Alternate275]

I'm heading to FRXI glad to say...
Unfortunately... Not for Brawl >.<

 

[BearsAreScary]

Now that everyone understands how awesome and exciting this tournament is going to be, allow me to begin what this thread was intended for:

I AM THE BEST FREAKING SMASH BROS/GUILTY GEAR/MELTY BLOOD/WHATEVER OTHER GAME PLAYER THAT EVER LIVED I'M SO GOOD NONE OF YOU CAN BEAT ME

P.S. I'M REALLY GOOD AT FIGHTING GAMES

Thanks for the props lil hommie. I was wondering why people in Ga, were on the fence about attending the biggest tournament in the SE region? Yes i'm a noob to the smash community, but not a noob to throwing big events. I hope everyone has a great time during FRXI this year. Man I can't wait to get this party started.

What do you think about $5 per team mate. Also I was thinking about starting sign up's on sunday at 9am. Anyone that plans to bring a wii with ssbb/tv please be at the hotel at 8:30am so we can get your badges and set your equipment up in the room. Please post on this thread what you can bring so I can have a head count of who is donating to FRXI and how many badges I should set aside for you. It's a little over a month before frxi. Get hyped people.

[Gerbil]

5$ per teammate is fine with me. Sometimes, tournies do 10$ per teammate but it should be left to you or the rest of the community. (higher entry fee = more prize $ to some lol).

 

[nice1]

a dp i'm down for teams u wanna do it since gerbil beat me to alpha

 

[Tsunami157]

OMG Justin Wong is going to play Brawl.

Dang.... thats more than enough of a reason to attend this tourney to anyone on the fence. (Ethan)
If you go to only bask in his "holy aura", I wouldn't fault you for coming.

Chad & Shin are absolutely right about the scope of this tourney. There is going to be so much awesome at this thing, it would be a real shame to neglect it for the sake of just one game.

Heck I'll be going on Saturday just so I can watch some of the other games I have been wanting to pick up, but haven't had any local competition in. (MvC2, ST, CvS2) Learning some tricks of the trade in those games will be worth it for me.

In all seriousness, this tourney looks like it will be amazing. If IFC Yipes confirms ... I'll die.

P.S. :To ShinBlanka or Chaddd (I see that Justin J from Cali confirmed for MvC2.
Is that the "Dark Prince Cronos" dude that I have been hearing causes a lot of drama.
Forgive my MvC2 ignorance..I am working on it)

 

[DP's Mario]

Well, they DID plan to team up for the first ever Brawl tourney. So, I'll team wit you.

yEA THAT'S HIM, BUT IF HE CAUSE any problems at FRXI he will be thrown out! Yea there will be alot of top fighting game players at FRXI from all around the nation. I hope everyone enjoy FRXI.

Do you think I should make it 10 per team mate?

 

[Laijin]

lol.
Dark Prince.

 

[chaddd]

Do you think I should make it 10 per team mate?

Definitely. And 15 for singles is usually what produces the best pot. It seems to be the most popular format.

 

[Tom]

chaddd is right, its $10 per teammate and $15 for singles.

im really excited about this tournament. does anyone need a teammate?

 

[Gerbil]

-DP

 

[Alternate275]

Yep Yep... Arcana Heart is indeed on the list... March 15th...
Melty Blood and NeoGeo Battle Coliseum on March 16th...
DP, We need to meed up with Richard if you really plan on going to Aracna Heart... Or you're gonna be in for a world hurtin' full of loops. I myself been sandbaggin' with Maori myself.... Considering I could've looped the Nee-Sa~Rope loop and bait an Arcana Force out of you =P

And that's just "ONE" of the many loops in the game >.<

Also, you're gonna need to work on your homing cancels... That's a must =P

[ShinBlanka]

we haven't plan to run a ssbm tournament as of this date, but if we complete the ssbb tournaments early I will alow it as long as we can finish before 12 midnight!

 

[Gerbil]

There are no new Brawl rules. I suggest talking to Chaddd about what you should do. I could help out, but I'm a tad busy and really don't feel like getting into it atm lol.

 

[PB&J]

please no items, no built stages, and it should be three stock not four because people survive forever, at least double elimination,8:00 time, and as far as the stages i don't know what stages to be legal or not because there are alot of good ones and alot of others that just kill u by just standing there,but everything else seems cool

 

[DP's Mario]

DP, We need to meed up with Richard if you really plan on going to Aracna Heart... Or you're gonna be in for a world hurtin' full of loops. I myself been sandbaggin' with Maori myself.... Considering I could've looped the Nee-Sa~Rope loop and bait an Arcana Force out of you =P

Also, you're gonna need to work on your homing cancels... That's a must =P

Well, I really don't have to worry about YOU knowing that you're not entering. But I know what to look for when I'm fighting Maori's...

But I can work on that...I need some 1 on 1 time, no more than 3 people. >_>

 

[Gerbil]

I completely agree with the following (though 4 stock still may be possible):

3 Stocks, 8 minute time limits.

Double Elimination.

Items OFF, Stage Builder OFF.


Gerbil's Stuff:

I suggest keeping the general Melee format of counter picking and sets etc (you know, 2 of 3 sets, loser counter picks, blah blah blah). As for stages.... I can give you an example list of what my personal opinion is like, and perhaps everyone else here can help with their own opinions. Generally, I left most walk offs as banned for now (due to DDD's CG KO plus those chars with powerful instant Bthrow KOs), but others I was more considerate of different factors.
