NERD RAGE (Project M) - August 17th, 2013 - Cincinnati, OH

[Cookiemonsta]

If I didn't have to work both Friday and Sunday I'd go. *sigh* Once again... sadness

 

[Strong Badam]

Doctor X: Please make Lylat Cruise legal. It's a better stage than both Pokemon Stadium 1 and Metal Cavern.
Actually, please ban those two as well. Pls pls

 

[Scythe]

how about no

Dude after that last tourney, I learned that Lylat Cruise takes getting "battlefielded" to a whole new level. Stage blows

What are you smoking dude?

I considered it, but I feel it's a bit late to change the stage list. Gentleman's clause is always there, though.

 

[Solharath]

So I know that people have asked how many are going, but I'm curious to know how many people have pre-registered?

 

[Doctor X]

So I know that people have asked how many are going, but I'm curious to know how many people have pre-registered?

Pre-registration currently sits at 17 people-- 15 for singles and doubles, 2 for singles only. Two of them will not be there but wish to leave their money in the pot for support.

There will certainly be more people than this, though.

 

[Solharath]

Phew... Man, I've been having serious issues just getting work off for this, and that isn't entirely uplifting, especially since 1/5 of those come from my and my buddies.

Still, we're coming. Just, yeesh, I had really high hopes for this. Ah well, it looks like some big names are coming out to this, so that's still exciting.

 

[Doctor X]

tbqh I think that number says less about our likely attendance and more about the community's general willingness to pre-register when they aren't required to. I mean, I always heard smashers were bad about that but I didn't think it would be *that* bad.

I don't want to give you the wrong impression, though, so I will say this-- this will not be an FC or an Apex. There will be very talented players from many different places, but we probably won't break 50 entrants. That being said, there will still be hype matches, awesome opportunities for meeting some of the more prominent figures in P:M, as well as pie.

 

[Scythe]

there better be **** ton of pie and some cheesecake

 

[Strong Badam]

I considered it, but I feel it's a bit late to change the stage list. Gentleman's clause is always there, though.

If nothing else, at least legalize Lylat. :/

 

[Solharath]

Heck, pie. I'm sold.

Legalize Lylat for Pie in Space.

 

[Oro?!]

Any word on that housing?

 

[Burnsy]

This arcade sounds like a lot of fun. You guys play Vampire Savior ?!!?!

 

[Scythe]

i've dabbled

 

[kodeyluigi]

I apologize if this has been asked, but any possibilities of a melee side event?

We will be doing Melee CSP the second day.

Cactuar:
- All stages are legal except Icicle Mountain, Brinstar Depths, and Hyrule Temple
- Both players get two bans
- Matches are best of 7

Stamina:
- Stamina Mode

Pancake:
- Players select a random character
- Each player gets one "flip" per game
- A flip is either rerandoming your own character, or forcing the opponent to rerandom, or you can pass
- Loser picks stage
- Winner flips first

Kinda silly but also a bit exciting if you think about it. Really tests your knowledge of Melee instead of just the top tier matchups.

 

[Strong Badam]

Literally the best

 

[Doctor X]

Ok guys, I want to explore some options for streaming. Since we won't have VGBootcamp and Arcade Legacy would feel most comfortable if we were to use our own equipment, I'll be happy to pick up an XSplit license and a couple microphones. I do not, however, have much experience doing this and would certainly not mind having some assistance/input.

Or, if someone else wants to bring their own equipment and take charge, I'm fine with that as well. Honestly I want the best experience we can reasonably get for stream viewers, and if more experienced people feel more comfortable doing it their own way using their own stuff, I'm fine with that.

As for actual commentatary I'm happy to take volunteers. Certainly these will be shared positions since everyone who might do it is also going to be in the tournament, but... I at least would like to have it for top 8 and pie crews.

-

@Strong Bad: As for Lylat, I'll at least make it legal for doubles, since I've yet to post a doubles stage list (lazy dude here) and it seems like it would be a pretty great doubles stage.

 

[Scythe]

Just have a recording setup with commentary, no need to have it streamed. Don't think anyone who is going to this tourney is going to have the desire to run a stream themselves.

Why even...?

 

[standardtoaster]

lylat doesn't tilt

 

[redxparasite]

I really wish I could come to this. I was living in Cincinnati the whole Summer, but just moved back home this past weekend for a few weeks. What makes it even worse is that I'll be moving to a place about 30 minutes from Cincinnati in early September. Curse you bad timing.

Lol that sucks. You'll have to keep in touch with us, though. We'll be playing more smash after this of course.

Yeah, if you ever have any events, tournament scale or not, I'd love to play with you. If I can make it to future tournaments, I can bring a setup for livestreaming, provided there's internet.

 

[Solharath]

If you know we have internet, the brothers I bring with me have a recording setup and can usually stream pretty easily. We're also bringing a couple setups. I think 3? Maybe more, depending on our carpool.

 

[kellyk1035]

So there will be a melee event sunday if so count me in would go to this from day one but have to work but if melee is confirmed for sunday can prolly def bring a carload from lou?

[standardtoaster]

Can't wait to finally go to Project M event!!!

 

[Ya Dad]

We'll be setting up a booth for Super Smash Flash 2 and we'll livestream if there is open WiFi. I also have a decent USB capture card if you want to stream Proj:M, DoctorX

[kodeyluigi]

Just throwing this out there, if people are interested in having a side regular melee tourney I would gladly run it. Late Saturday night, or Sunday and not let it interfere with PM. Just looking for a little extra practice and would be responsible for two FULL setups. Let me know something if there is any interest. Thanks!......and Dopey, we will be coming from Louisville if there could be a side melee event, we will also play PM.
