Talking to KK yesterday for 30 mins and his glorious posts on the boards should suffice for me . and sounds good Shady just confirmed he's in. I'll give him a wake up call again tm too lol.

im not sure. im probably gonna talk to some of the smashers on the east side and see if i can get any of them interested. also if any of the smashers in west bloomfield were to go theres a possibility that i could catch a ride with them.

Do what you can man. Right now we are at a surplus of TV's to smashers and I need some more GGs

 

[Juggleguy]

Good luck at FC bros!

 

[Vaccine]

Thanks brrrroooo

Welcome back from FC, all of you made it out of first round pools and then Duck made it to 13th, correct? Not bad!

Next up for Michigan melee: SPAU2 on the 25th and then the day after - The Return of Moose

 

[Juggleguy]

Duck got 13th, HIV got 33rd, I got 41st (I think), Abu got 57th

FC was an amazingly well-organized, ridiculously fun tourney. Probably my favorite one ever.

 

[kd-]

Is Round Robin (haaaa get it?) in store for The Big House 2?

 

[Hot_ArmS]

Yooo abu get bodied

 

[Juggleguy]

I'm definitely changing up the format I had in mind for Big House 2, because what FC did was so hype that I can't see myself going back to a traditional pools-to-bracket format anymore. I wrote down some possibilities on paper this morning and this is the best I've come up with:

16 pools of 7-9 players each (depending on turnout) to start things off, top four advance to a 64-man double-elimination bracket, then play it out until Winners Semis and until Losers 6th Rd. With twelve players remaining at that point, separate and play out 2 final round robins of 6 players each, then take the same-placing players from each final round robin and have them play out a 1st place match, 3rd place match, 5th place match, etc. until the 11th place match, in backwards order for maximum ending hype.

Thoughts?

 

[rokimomi]

A little birdie told me you weren't all that into challonge.com before
That's definitely going to change after, it was too good not to pass up for the future

 

[Juggleguy]

I still don't like challonge.com for live bracket coverage, we'd just stick with tio for that.

It looks decent for post-tourney viewing though.

 

[rokimomi]

Nooooooooooooo
you gotta
how does tio work with live updates anyways?

 

[Hot_ArmS]

fyi alot of people watching the stream (including lovage and s2j) didnt like the non traditional bracket to final pools format. But you were there so if you say its hype id believe it, since the most important thing is the experience of the people thats actually going to be at the tournament

 

[Juggleguy]

@ roki: Are you talking about live updates for stream viewers at home? tio doesn't have that option, and I never planned on doing it anyway... like HarmS said, the priority should be about making the in-person tourney experience the best one possible.

 

[Vaccine]

i got 33rd but i beat darkrain (best personal victory =D) so in my mind i pretty much won the tournament

FC was ****ing amazing!!!!!!

 

[rokimomi]

well I mean if its not something that violates anything TO related, haha

there's usually always someone behind the desk so creating one on the side and having anyone pretty much with visual access to the tio file to update it wouldn't be that big of a hassle

I recognize it as a part of having a livestream almost and it allows whoever commentates commentates to never really have that moment of: uhhhh, dunno who's in it still, and instead be like: you guys can check out the bracket info with the link in the description of the livestream

 

[SonuvaBeach]

That sounds awesome and since every single person is saying it was really hype, it clearly was.

As Hotarms said though, virtually every person on the steam did not like the format. As long as that isn't a deciding factor for anyone, changing it seems like a pretty good idea. s2j isn't coming anyway. Peepee said he might be able too.

You know what, this is a really good point, I kinda forgot about this. I think we will use challonge.com after all. We might skip tio for the main singles event since it's arguably easier to do it manually than to spend 92318 hours trying to re-arrange pools in tio.

dang. i got burned.

I like it. Are you gonna incorporate Swiss Style somewhere in there?

dang. i got burned.

What?

 

[bliu12]

What?

i suggested to rob to use challonge like a year ago, using the same reasons roki did. but he didnt wanna use it.

 

[kd-]

Looooooooooooooooooooool

[Vaccine]

im gonna to be on the westside of mi this weekend and id like to play smash with some ppl out there

someone msg me or something

 

[kd-]

Smashfest this weekend?

Edit: As good as Slayer's quote was, this quote beats it:

And KD na kid your the bess

 

[Juggleguy]

I think there is literally nobody in Ann Arbor right now.

The 10% of people who actually stayed for the summer have probably been kicked out by their landlords for the second half of August.

 

[kd-]

Basically, I've been driving to WB to chill with Richard and James some days for the past week or two.

I'm going to be joining that 10% next week, stupid leases ending a week before new ones. Too bad, because I kinda wanted to improve my Marth more at SPAU2

 

[Juggleguy]

The one thing Jman has in common with KD is his desire to quit this game. ripT

 

[kd-]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL perfect
