[Mogwai]

Cool. Assuming I can figure out this bus thingie, I'll be there with a cube and smash.

 

[pockyD]

i love the 110% pot size

if you want to pick me up, i can bring two (count them TWO) TVs =)

otherwise i'm probably good to go anyway

 

[ROB_[MCC}]

Count me in... I can bring a Gamecube for sure. We might be able to get a TV.

Not exactly 110% pot size, but i only need a little from the pot to pay for the room for 6, count it 6!, hours. luckly that is really dependant on how many people show up. Denis is getting me a price on the room wednesday. Getting a discount since i'm friends with the guy, and i semi work there every wednesday. So its not going to be expensive. Might even be free. O.o

I can probably pick you up if i need TVs. Which is very likley. I'll keep ya posted.

 

[pockyD]

1st- 60%
2nd- 40%
3rd- 10%

someone's losing money in this deal =)

 

[Nakamaru]

Typo so sue me. XD

 

[A-Laon]

Beautiful.

You can almost definitely count me in. No confirmation, but not much could go wrong with a Sunday.

 

[Renth]

provided i still have any interest in playing this game i'll see about visiting.

 

[maximusartemus]

Barring any unseen force or commitment I should be there.

 

[Dogosse Gier]

I'll try to make it.

 

[Nakamaru]

Ok so denis called me yesturday and the room is going to cost $50. Which really isnt bad for a room for 6 hours.

 

[Dory..?]

Count me in... I can bring a Gamecube for sure. We might be able to get a TV.

I can bring both tv/cube..............

We should also bring Ds's and games so we can play.............

 

[SwiftBass]

woah Wes (i is coming? **** man I gotta work on my samus killing skills XD



@ everyone whose not in the local area
Come down and **** pittsburgh smash cuz we apparently all suck. Bring your friends too so they can 4 stock us. How can you resist easy cash?!?

 

[pockyD]

you guys should really cut it out with this "no respect" thing, it's getting old x.x

and i'm not totally sure i can fit two TVs in a car (one of them is 32" and my roommate and i had trouble even bringing it home from the store) so i can't guarantee i'll have two; i'll have at least one though and i'm willing to try to pack the second one in

 

[Nakamaru]

If i take the jeep and i'm just picking you up. I can fit 2 TVs easy.

 

[SwiftBass]

dont worry, mindgames son

 

[pockyD]

dont worry, mindgames son

-_-

speaking of which; with that stupid run past you then f-smash thing with marth that you always do and always works on me, do you use a pivot smash or just a dash cancel smash?

i tried pivoting for the first time today and i can't seem to get the timing down

 

[takieddine]

Pocky you can just CC to reverse C-stick... -_-

Also, i hope there are no laggy TV's. And don't try to trick me (i can see frames !!!)

 

[pockyD]

that's what i meant by dash cancel

and that's a bit slower than a pivot smash (which is instant i believe, while dash cancel has the crouching frames)

 

[SwiftBass]

pivot smash is harder to do and u usually dont do it behind an opponent because the frame at which u can do any move is in the neutral position(not when ur in the dash animation behind the opponent) pivot smash is just like a random and fast attempt at a smash attack. CC smash is much more useful IMO. Yea i do that alot in teams.


about grabbing, pivot grabbing aka reverse JC grab can be done in any part of the DD so in reality I wouldnt call it a pivot grab unless u do it in that frame where you pivot smash from. but then it wouldnt be as useful would it?

 

[pockyD]

but i'd imagine if you could do both a pivot smash and a cc smash (if that's what you guys are calling it) with the same consistency, a pivot smash would be strictly better because it's faster... is that correct? (since you can turn-around dash at any point)

 

[__HARM__]

Its true! one time he calculated the frame laginess on robs t.v. to 1.45367 frames and said that was the only reason i could super wavedash.

 

[takieddine]

Whatever Evan, we all know you're just trying to make up for lost postcount ::lafmao::

 

[__HARM__]

nah i just like make pointless posts, and its not like the title on this thing matters, if it actually did i would post 100000 times a day and then i would be called "smash god" or something and i would be playing in mlg

 

[Nakamaru]

Somehow i dont think that post count and smash ability are linked like that...

Idk, call me crazy. XD

yea, exactly

 

[heynivek]

15$ for a player hosted event seems steep. =( My crew and I should be be able to make it though.

 

[Nakamaru]

Not really. Most small player hosted touranments are 15. Major ones are like 25.

 

[pockyD]

if everyone from duq wants to, the events at the end of today's tournament angered me enough that i'd be in on a boycott of the next tournament =)

 

[ROB_[MCC}]

Wow, they'd be losing between 8 - 10 customers if we did that.

 

[SwiftBass]

depends if the boycott's event hold something smash related perhaps, but if y'all boycott and not do anything smash related*cough* hold tourney the same day*cough*, I would go to CyberCon for garanteed money. Other than that I think I would boycott if enough of us agreed to do so and hold something else.

 

[Mogwai]

I'm in favor of this boycott. The projector getting turned off was not the end of the world, but it was so unnecessary and really touched a nerve. Also, would it kill them to just let us stay until 5, they allocated that much time, why couldn't we just stay?

 

[A-Laon]

I need to be thankful I wasn't there today, because if I had witnessed that projector getting shut off I most certainly would have have had some words. I'm not so much in favor of a "boycott" by definition, but seeing as we now have something better and more under our own control, cybercon should merely fall below our interest and be treated as such.

 

[heynivek]

I would support the boycott. As a-laon said we have better options. And we aren't generating much publicity/ new recruits at ccx anyways.

 

[Nakamaru]

Just let me know when the next CyberCon is and i'll talk with Denis about getting the room for the same day.

 

[takieddine]

I'm not sure about the YMCA thing(monthly), since we actually have to rent the place. I'm sure Duq is a much better option, being very accessible to the majority of the people here. We have the setups and can make a 100% pot. I updated the duq thread, you guys tell me what you think.

 

[Nakamaru]

Its really not that much. Price is still to be determined.

Also handling money there is very shaky since it is in a public place, and im not to sure that duquesne would like us handling money there.

Also duquesne is on fridays, so that still donest solve the CyberCon tournament issue. I like fridays how they are with smasher of the day tournaments and lots of friendlies.

 

[pockyD]

if (as naka claims) the cost for the place is $30 flat, then if we had 15 people play for $15 each, that's still over 80% of the entrance fee in the prize pot, plus even better ratios if we run doubles or have a higher attendance; plus we are guaranteed to have the full 6 hours for friendlies and stuff afterwards, no bureaucratic garbage with a store involved ( but also no free money from 5 yearolds =[ ), and just the overall freedom to run it our way (seeds, pools, whatever), since i think we're mostly all on the same page with what we want in a tournament

i'd feel fine with running money tournaments at duquesne but only because i know and trust most of the people (probably ALL but i'm not thinking too hard about it right now) that already play there, but if some new guy came along and wanted to play in the tournament, there's no guarantee he'd stay in line

and a similar suggestion to the duquesne thread, naka you should put pittsburgh somewhere in the title

 

[bowz10190]

hey what time will the thing start? cuz if i get the time i might be able to come with 4-5 friends.
