Midland Thread

[Shibbypod]

We had 42 unique smash players play in round robins in Midland over the last 5 months. Lets keep it going, and try to bring in even more new people! As usual I will be reaching out trying to bring good players to Midland to participate with us!

 

[Shibbypod]

Bump for an update of our top players, mentioned in the new Regional Ranking on the front page.

Hey All!

So, Shibby and I are looking into venues for the Summer Circuit event that takes place on June 28th in Midland.
Worst case scenario is we have it at my place or Shibby's, but I know space would be limited and with the massive growth of Melee we could have anywhere from 30 - 80 people... maybe even more if promoted well enough throughout town like the fair event that had over 200 entrants.

If anyone has any ideas on a good venue we could rent out for the day then PLEASE share your thoughts.
I am currently looking into Northwood University to see if they have anything available that we may use.
Ideally I would like to venue to be in town close to restaurants.

Again please share thoughts on what you guys would like and ideas on possible venues. Also, spread the word!

 

[JC3267]

I think I may have a possible venue for the Summer Circuit event here.

My high school has been using Central Middle School for testing, which was closed down recently but they still rent the space out for testing, band rehearsals, concerts, etc. It has plenty of space along with tables and chairs for setups. Having enough outlets may be an issue, but I think it'd be a great spot.

 

[Game 'n' Watch]

We would like to have the venue from 11am - 10pm.
I am currently looking into the Community Center and the old Holiday Inn as possible venues as well.
Keep us posted on what you find out.
I want to have a venue set by this time next week and would like to start promoting the event more.

 

[Game 'n' Watch]

Tomorrow night Shibby is hosting a smashfest at his place from 5-11pm.

 

[Shibbypod]

Friday night Midland Melee at my place tonight at 5!

 

[Game 'n' Watch]

Community Center is out.
They want around $1,000 for the day, so I will look into the old Holiday Inn tomorrow for the hall price.
Also, Smashfest at my place this Wednesday starting at 6pm.

 

[Game 'n' Watch]

Smash a my place tonight 7 - whenever.
Should be a solid turnout.

Venue updates: I am looking into the Civic Arena.
They have conference rooms that we may rent out for $15 per hour.
Max cap per room is 70.

 

[Shibbypod]

Here are the results! I'll add them to the main page tomorrow.

Hello! I was wandering around Smashboards today, and to my great surprise and delight I found this thread. I'm surprised that there's actually a bit of a scene here in little ol' Midland. I definitely plan to attend the Summer Circuit event, and possibly some of the round robins.

I hope to see you around.

 

[Shibbypod]

Awesome! We will try to have a get together very soon

Great smashfest. I'm loving the Attic, although hopefully we can get a few more setups in there.

 

[Shibbypod]

Smashfests this week? We I can host a small one with 3 other players, maybe on Tuesday. I think I am playing with Jordan on Thursday in mt. Morris, but that smashfest can't handle any more players due to space. Bill are you hosting any this week? Mt. P?

Jordan said Tuesday would be better than Thursday for his smashfest, but unfortunately I won't be able to go either way; nor to any smashfest in Mt. Pleasant for lack of a ride :/

I can host a Smashfest this week.
I'd say Tuesday or Wednesday night work best for me.

 

[Shibbypod]

Tuesday at Jordans, Wednesday at Bills?

 

[cmccarthy93]

Few things:

- Update on RoM 3 venue? I will for sure help TO btw
- Question on update of rankings. When is that?
- Smashfest at Bill's Wednesday works way better than Jordan's on Tuesday. Probably get Don and Emily to come too.

 

[Shibbypod]

Rankings are every 4 months. (August)

Venue.. Ummm....

Smashfest, i hope? Haha

Skigh is the man

Stats are updated. I am going to sleep!

Great smashfest, but I think these results make it pretty clear that there is a major gap between the top players in Midland and the rest. Hopefully more RRs like this, more frequent updates to our rankings like Shibby announced and we can get some serious competitions and rivalries going.

 

[Shibbypod]

I have been thinking of hosting a tech skill clinic to help some people close this gap. Already, the skill level in this region overall has tripled, but there has still been somethin missing. Likely what I'll do is host a fest where we just practice, and I'll continuously give tips and practice advice. Also I could stream it on twitch so that we can watch later or even have people watch who are not able to come. I could do this next week or something

Should be motivation to train harder.
If you're able to practice even one tech skill or something for a few hours a day to better perfect it I guarantee you'll notice better results.
Keep coming to our Smashfests, go top tourneys, use the boards and watch videos.
One thing that I feel you could easily fix is you stage positioning and get ups from the ledge, need to mix those up more.
I know MIOM had a stage positioning practice forums, I'll try to find it for you and post it on our FB page.
Also, feel free to message me if you want to play some Smash.
I'm usually free to play most evenings.
