March Smashness!!!!!!!

[clubbadubba]

Hey guys. So in honor of March Madness, my friends and I are running a March Smashness tournament in our apartment. Its a 2 on 2 tournament between level nine cpu's, with 64 teams. We made an official bracket, and we're gonna play it out over the next 3 weeks, more or less at the same pace as the NCAA tourney. We're filling out brackets, with a little wager involved. Thought I would share the bracket with you guys, if anyone wants to fill out their own bracket go ahead and repost here, I'll keep score and update if people actually wanna do it.

Items off, Team attack on. Rest of details are on the bracket (note the different stages in each region and round). Scores by round are 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16 points per correct game.

double ness is a shoe-in for the win

actual winner will probably be something stupid like yoshi luigi

 

[ciaza]

my money is on FOX FOX

 

[clubbadubba]

fill out your brackets you aussies!

 

[Battlecow]

Fox Link to win, I'm pretty sure of it. Not gonna bother filling out a bracket tho, seems like a lot of work.

 

[Shadocat]

Lovin the tourney name

how would i even go about filling out a bracket like this.

 

[asianaussie]

download the picture and draw lines lol

and contrary to the name, ness will be the one doing the smashing, trust me

 

[ballin4life]

fox fox ftw

 

[ciaza]

i filled out the bracket because i have a test on tuesday and am in procrastination mode

bracket:

Spoiler

the whole time i was filling out:

 

[asianaussie]

Ness Ness beating Pika Fox, who would've seen it

Double Jiggs beating Fox Ness? I just lost all respect for you as a player.

 

[Battlecow]

Y'all don't know **** about link CPU's. Good against human is not good against other AI's.

But you will learn

 

[clubbadubba]

haha props to ciaza for filling out a bracket, the wager is the winner gets an order of $1 mcnuggets from everyone else, so the participants agree to send you lots of mcnuggest if you beat us . Just finished the first 16 games, gonna do the rest tomorrow, won't update until later in case more people wanna fill it out lol. Also I agreed to do a shot for each wrong guess I had, I was 11/16 lol.

@bcow, link is one of (if not the) best vs other AI's 1v1. When I had foot surgery 2 summers ago and was laid up for weeks I did some testing lol. But in teams not AS good. We'll see...

 

[The Star King]

People who predict two of the same char are lame and boring

And Battlecow has the right idea. But for the sake of being different I'll guess Link + Falcon

 

[Shadocat]

Just did my brackets

[M!nt]

lol this is interesting. Luigi/Kirby got this

 

[tyhiggz]

I got my imaginary money on Fox Yoshi

 

[Sempiternity]

link is the best cpu

fox is second

ness is third (uair)

fox link got this

 

[tyhiggz]

After a bit of research, I like the ness samus team

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

I always thought Falcon was an amazing cpu. Downsmash reactions lol.

 

[Battlecow]

link is the best cpu

fox is second

ness is third (uair)

fox link got this

Finally, someone else who knows what they're talking about.

I guess SK knew too

 

[clubbadubba]

Well, in terms of vs other CPU's, I actually ran some a cpu vs cpu round robin and a tourney on my computer when I got foot surgery a few summers ago. Think it was all hyrule. Results

Link 10-1
Falcon 8-3
Mario 8-3
Ness 8-3
Pikachu 6-5
Fox 6-5
Yoshi 6-5
Luigi 5-6
Jigglypuff 4-7
DK 2-9
Samus 2-9
Kirby 1-10

Falcon beat link in the final 4-3, but link clearly the best. Fox not that great though. In teams its a bit different. WE're about 16 games behind right now, I'll post some results soon. Some people might be a bit upset.

 

[Sempiternity]

Link
Falcon
Mario
Ness
Pikachu
Fox
Yoshi
Luigi
Jigglypuff
DK
Samus
Kirby

it's decided

this is the new tier list!

 

[Shadocat]

Kirby....... i am dissapoint

YES I knew Falcon was being underrated hooray I wasn't imagining things. My Falcon Link team got this.

 

[clubbadubba]

So the first round is complete, here is the updated bracket. Almost done with 2nd round, it'll be up soon.

Number of each character in 2nd round:

Link: 9
Fox: 8
Pikachu: 7
DK: 7
Samus: 7
Ness: 6
Yoshi: 6
Falcon: 4
Luigi: 3
Kirby: 3
Mario: 2
Jiggs: 2

Not that each character had the same to start but still fairly representative. Stages have a lot of say in it though. Damn I do the most useless **** when I have deadlines. Thesis due Friday, and I'm doing this....

 

[ciaza]

i got 16/32

truly a testament showing that i basically flipped a coin for every match up lol

 

[Shadocat]

13/32

My bracket all messed up lol

 

[tyhiggz]

The saffron round is gonna be interesting

 

[Olikus]

No DL? >=(

 

[Sempiternity]

p sure the teams with ness won't survive past the saffron round

link and fox at the top!

 

[Shadocat]

Hey clubba, you should record the top 4 matches, for the lolz

 

[clubbadubba]

@olikus, the bottom right region is entirely dreamland for the first 2 rounds, check the stages labels at the top AND the bottom.

@shadocat, if it weren't for the lack of recording equipment I might. Btw you were asking about facebook, check out the ssb64 group http://www.facebook.com/groups/329401377087352/

 

[M!nt]

welp mine already lost xD

re-joinin with Dk/Falcon cccooooommmeee ooonnn!

 

[Battlecow]

Fox-link lookin' good

 

[clubbadubba]

so we got to the sweet 16, realized that the most teams anyone had left of my friends was like 6. So everyone else (not me) decided to finish this one and start a new one.... Anyway battlecow SOMEHOW picked the winner in fox/link, beating luigi/luigi in the finals (wtf right). Congrats to bcow, all hail. I'll put up the finished bracket soon. Prolly not gonna post the new one we do up cuz thats just too many brackets in march

 

[asianaussie]

just what we needed, another pointless ego boost for battlecow

 

[Olikus]

3 samus, 2 links and 2 luigis in the semi final. Not bad.

 

[asianaussie]

oh wow guess the BR tier list was COMPLETELY WRONG

 

[Olikus]

yep. since cpu is a part of the game its better too trust them than high level players.
