And if like 8 more people showed up there woulda been a $50 extra pot bonus.

If anyone is ever unsure about going to any tournament because of it's attendance JUST GO
if everyone on the fence ends up going, the turnout will be awesome!

[CT Chia]

How do you cheat in pokemon?

Her boyfriend was sitting across the table (next to me) and was texting every single action I did to her.
After like 6 turns or so (idk maybe 6-8) I was completely sure of it and told the TO.
Prior to that, every single move she did was 100% perfect, and I was really in a bad spot, and she was making insane predictions that made no sense. After that happened and her bf was forced to not be at the table, she was playing terribly, and couldn't read me at all. Not to mention she looked like she was upset and breathing heavily and stuff I guess thinking she was going to get in trouble. Turns out her bf was main staff there for the Pokemon event and she is like some big name user on YouTube with a partnership and everything for Pokemon. After I was down 5 to 6 in a bad position, I ended up 3-0ing her easily when she didn't have bf assistance lol.

 

[VideoKidHEERO]

I know you're not, silly. You should work on that Diddy more.

 

[fkacyan]

Yes, M2K has bothered me on AIM multiple times and tried to convince me that being pro-ban was a bad idea.

He was like "Arent you pro-ban" to me and got mad when I told him that I was just trying to get them to wait until after APEX.

Mind telling me what her team composed of and yours?
Not the Moves Im just curious, If she had like UU and NU making those reads then that's probably a reason they would sponsor her. Also, good stuff catching on and beating her with that 3-0. I use to play Pokemon like that 4th gen, but once 5th gen came out I just quit

I use to place decent with

Roserade
Donphan
Clefable
G-Dos
Scizor
Zapdos

 

[Nairo]

About how I will be running tournaments in the future:

I most likely will not be running "Unity" rules because I just don't agree with them or think they do what they are supposed to do.

I would be having infinites banned. Swallow-cides count towards the character initiating them, and lower LGL.

M2k is not "convincing" me of anything, as a TO I'm independent and do what I think is right. I will be taking polls and see what the majority want and they will get. As a player I don't need MK to win so I really don't care if he's banned or not. I don't listen to a single person or committee.

It really shouldn't completely be about you what you yourself think, it should be about what the people going to your tourney feel it should be, your supporters. Otherwise, it looks like selfish intentions. And that isn't healthy for the NY community (assuming EVERYONE else is running Unity on and after January 9th)

You said you'll take poll. Ask your supporters should you run things your own way or Unity after January 9th.

 

[Jtails]

It isn't completely about what I think, which is why I would be taking a poll in the first place.

Yeah I would be getting all sorts of feedback from the people who attend.
From what I'm hearing a lot of NY is against Unity rules.. but for official purposes of course I'd take a poll.

At my last tournament since no one ever enters doubles I was going to do 1 stock matches with rules from concentrate, if people wanted, or host all brawl. I am a very flexible TO and generally cater to what people want.

Bum told me he didn't want things like that happening lol. Just singles and doubles.. thats it.

The thing is, there are so many middleground with rules. It isn't as simple as Run Unity, or Don't Run Unity.

 

[ksizl4life]

it can be, as "don't run unity" means you can run any ruleset. with items on, 5 stock, 20 min, etc, it doesnt matter as long as there are people who support it.

"run unity" you get one option. you cant edit that ruleset.

makes sense!

Actually not true! You can apply for an experimental Unity Ruleset tournament. This is a pretty easy process that involves submitting your tournament page links and the proposed differences in the ruleset to a committee member. If the URC approves of it, your tournament can still be stickied on SWF/featured on AiB. That's how I got Concentrate featured when it was MK-banned before Unity banned him.

 

[ksizl4life]

But then it isn't exactly Unity ruleset everyone is using, it's something else entirely that has to be approved by a group of people that could be biased towards you or something. Point still stands.

 

[Max Ketchum]

There are some guidelines for what is allowed to be approved for experimental rulesets. If the URC notices that a TO is abusing the ability to deviate from the Unity Ruleset (for example, three experimental tournaments in two months) as a cop-out, they can deny them as well.

 

[Vinnie]

omg keitaro it's uprise of long island 6, not 2

 

[Max Ketchum]

Fixed for you

eh, I ran the traditional ruleset and people seemed to like it. Next time I might do something else. It definitely won't be unity. **** unity.

You don't need the sticky

 

[Keitaro]

Why not do experimental anyway? Its your own ruleset with a sticky. If thats possible then there's no reason to not do the experimental ruleset if it is fine with Unity standards.

 

[_Yes!_]

**** their "standards" lol. Ps2 legal? DDD having 150:0 matchups because they want to look consistent? Blindly letting the game decide who wins when a boswer/ganon/swallowcide happens? No thanks, I'd rather advertise and bring more people than they have (if I kept hosting lol)

 

[Keitaro]

Read what I said please.

With experimental rulesets you can pretty much not do those things that bother you or whoever else.

You should read about the experimental ruleset thing. I'll try to find it.

Found it:

The URC is happy to announce the new Experimental Unity Ruleset System! This new system will allow TOs that follow the Unity Ruleset to run tourneys with slight alterations, while still retaining the full benefits of a regular Unity Ruleset tourney! These tourneys will be used as a means of gathering data on the slight ruleset alternations. The Experimental Unity Ruleset System will be active until December 31st, 2011. We will then take a short break of 1-2 months to analyze all data and make any potential changes, then re-open Experimental Rulesets to everyone after a month or two.

The URC acknowledges that it is rather difficult to test out different rules when there is a universal ruleset that most tourneys use. This system would help remedy that flaw. Want to run an MK banned tourney while still using Unity Ruleset? This system would allow that! Think Norfair should be legal and want to test it out? Then this system is for you!

Procedure

1. You must PM one of the following URC members that you wish your tourney to be accepted as an Experimental Unity Ruleset: Bizkit, Chibo, Player-1, Technical Chase, DeLux, T-block, or Tin Man.
2. State what rule alternation(s) you wish for your tourney to use in the PM.
3. Make sure your tourney threads & pages state that you are using an Experimental Unity Ruleset after the URC member permits your tourney to use the altered ruleset.
4. After the tourney, PM the same URC member with the results of your tourney and any information or data you have written down or remember.

Notes

- This system requires that the URC gives your tourney permission to use an Experiemental Unity Ruleset. Because of this, your ruleset alterations must have valid intentions, and you must be willing to collect data based on your ruleset alterations. The data you will be expected to collect will be in your approval PM.
- Do not alter too many rules at once. For example, there is no point in banning MK and then banning Rainbow and Brinstar at the same tourney, as that would not give us any helpful results.
- This system is not a way of dodging Unity Ruleset because you do not like one or two rules. We will be keeping track of all of the TOs and tourneys that run the rulesets. If a TO is trying to abuse the system, they will no longer be permitted to use it.

Suggested Ruleset Testing

Brinstar and/or Rainbow Cruise Banned
2 or 1 stock matches with a different timer
5-9 stage starter lists
2 Stage Bans
Counterpicking characters before stages
Testing any of the following stages: Jungle Japes, Norfair, Pirate Ship, Green Greens, Port Town, Onett, Yoshi's Island (Melee), Luigi's Mansion, and Distant Planet

It doesn't make much sense to me but if you're able to run a tourney with your own rules and a sticky then why not do this.

 

[Max Ketchum]

The only complaint anyone should have about Unity is the individual rules--this isn't a big deal because we can change them. The concept is brilliant and necessary to this game's growth.

[jbandrew]

I like the idea of 1 stock matches. I think its really fun and fast. Just my opinion.

 

[Max Ketchum]

Yes, let's talk about one stock please! :D

 

[Zucco]

one stock is bad and you should feel bad for trying to bring such a terrible concept into our community.


lets discuss this at the beach.
