[Alphabravo]

Davis, you should also list the prizes for winning.

 

[ZMan]

I'll talk to Salty tomorrow he wants to bring his TV.

 

[Kashakunaki]

Lol. My bad. Good idea.

 

[Sinz]

I can bring my Wii.

So keith got the free bbq? SWEET.


What does the schedule look like? I think we could get rid of melee and do brawl crew battles.

Btw, Kash. Jumpman is an amazing Wolf, you should play against him sometime.

 

[Hylian]

Texas will be at FAST >_>.

 

[Sinz]

But not everyone right? I asked Dugfinn to talk to the players there.

 

[Kashakunaki]

Yep. Keith said he could hook us up.

I actually think we could probably do both Melee and crew battles. That would be nice.

Texas will be at FAST >_>.

:/ Oh well. Guess I can whomp on you another time, Hylian

Seriously, though, have fun. Though, I'm sure not ALL of Texas is going.

Most of our good players are going >_>.

And didn't sethlon beat you? >_>. I am 5-1 against Seth in tournament so lol. <3.

 

[maXXXpower]

Subscribing for possibility of not missing this. I don't know, yet.

Also, I've been promised free bbq in the past and have been sorely disappointed. This bbq business could likely make or break my trip. You decide, NM.

 

[Sinz]

Well, we don't like to disappoint. So, if one doesn't happen, I will be paying for a lot of meat.

 

[Kashakunaki]

Most of our good players are going >_>.

And didn't sethlon beat you? >_>. I am 5-1 against Seth in tournament so lol. <3.

Oh, come on. Don't make me have to be an *** now.

"El oh el this guy beat this guy and that guy beat this guy and I beat that guy so that means I'm better than this dude, hur!"

Seriously now. You're better than that. Yes, he did beat me. 3-2 in our MM and 2-0 in the tournament, but the first match was close. I had also never played Falco before.

No Johns, either. I shook his hand and said good game like a man.

That would be pretty awesome if you came, max. There will be a BBQ hands down no matter what, and 90% sure it will be free. Keith, the person who owns the venue we are hosting the tournament at also works for Sam's Club who he is going to get to sponsor him.

It will be awesome. NM doesn't like to disappoint
Tell your buddies.

EDIT: Plus it is Sinz' b-day

This is the SBR set list.
Stage striking is in effect.
To stage strike, player A starts off by striking one neutral stage, then player B strikes a neutral, then A strikes another neutral, than B strikes one more neutral, leaving one neutral left.

Example, say Sinz and Kash are playing. We start off by banning a non neutral stage.(I believe this is in effect.), then Sinz flips a coin(or anything. It would be simpler to have the person on top to start.) and wins the coin toss. Sinz strikes. FD, then Kash strikes, lylat cruise, then sinz strikes yoshi's story, and kash strikes battlefield. Leaving Smashville.

 

[ZMan]

That's a pretty good list, but why is Jungle Japes banned?

 

[Sinz]

I am assuming Klaptraps, and the water. I didn't make the list. its the SBR list. so, I don't know the reasoning behind every single stage. Except Smashville, that place is cool.

 

[Kashakunaki]

An almost guaranteed one hit KO that happens frequently perhaps?

I love the stage, but sadly, like Corneria, it just has too much against it to be legal.

 

[Sinz]

Every seven and a half seconds.

You might wanna put attendees on this list too.

How much space is Insomnia giving us?

 

[Hylian]

Oh, come on. Don't make me have to be an *** now.

"El oh el this guy beat this guy and that guy beat this guy and I beat that guy so that means I'm better than this dude, hur!"

Dude, I was completly joking lmao.

 

[Sinz]

Kash has trouble viewing sarcasm on the interwebz, put sarcasm tags next time.[/sarcasm]

 

[ZMan]

I sent a bunch of text messages to my friends and hopefully they'll come.

Jungles Japes is in the same boat as Port Town for me, I love both stages but I don't think they'll be good for tournament play.

Smashville is tight.

 

[Kashakunaki]

Added the rules.

Kash has trouble viewing sarcasm on the interwebz, put sarcasm tags next time.[/sarcasm]

It's true That would be much appreciated.

 

[Sinz]

Detailed explaination of how this works:
1. At the start of each match, the players/teams choose their characters and then one player/team will flip a coin. The winner of the coin pick will chose to go either first or second.
2. The team/player that goes first will strike any stage from the list of nine, followed by the second team/player and this will repeat until 1 stage remains.
3. Teams/players will elect their stage bans. The team that went first must ban their stage first. You get one stage ban per team or in singles, one ban per player.
4. The first stage will be played.
5. The losing team picks any stage in the starter or counterpick pools of stages to play on (as long as it is not a banned stage). The winners then have an opportunity to change their characters, following by the losers having the ability to also change their characters.
6. Repeat step 5 until there is a team/player with 2/3 victories or 3/5 victories (depending on the round in the tournament).

Also, you supposed to have an odd number of starter stages. So put lylat Cruise back in there.

Put time limit to 7 minutes, its better that way.

Also, why aren't you using the SBR stage list. I could edit it up for you s you only have to copy and paste it.

[Kashakunaki]

There was some things I didn't like about the SBR stage list. For example, why the hell is Hanenbow a counter pick? That's just stupid.

 

[Hylian]

There is no official SBR stage list.

... We are still working on it.

 

[Sinz]

Afterdawn said that was the list.
http://smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=4830433&postcount=2112

nvm, I just reread his post now that he has editted it.
s'arnthed.

 

[DuskMarthWater]

Yea...that's only what it is most LIKELY to be. Not totally for sure though. The only things I absolutely disagree with are Hanenbow and MAYBE Norfair being CP. Dumb stages. Kinda like smaller versions of Temple, hehe.

Thanks for posting all that Everett. Now I don't have to. Oh, and that post made by Kyle(Twin_A) is like, thee best post in existence. Besides Xona's stupidity, that is. *Inside joke*

BTW, I can bring a full set-up. T.V and Wii included!

 

[Sinz]

thee has two E's? What are you old english?

I am gonna call X-topia.

 

[forward]

I've gone from a 5% chance of attending to a 35%. Looks good

 

[DuskMarthWater]

Haha! Ever the innate sense of humor Shaun. Still, that IS pretty good. Hope we see you down here.

 

[Tee ay eye]

For the love of God, don't put Brinstar on the counterpicks.

 

[Tee ay eye]

If I go, I'll bring a setup TO BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR MELEE.

 

[Kashakunaki]

I've gone from a 5% chance of attending to a 35%. Looks good

Heh. Well, hopefully we'll see you down here. I promise it won't be nearly as crowed (space wise) as that other tournament we had. Plus, I'd like to get some revenge from pools at AzOneTwoStep.

For the love of God, don't put Brinstar on the counterpicks.

Why is that?

 

[gamesuxcard]

Gotta check my work schedule, but I should be there.
I can bring a partial setup (ie, can't bring a tv.)

 

[Kashakunaki]

Awesome. Thanks guys.

 

[chefman470]

Holy crap 10 bucks to enter and 20 bucks for the singles..... Thats my gas money.....and I don't think I can make it ether, I work on those day -_-

 

[Sinz]

Hey Nolan, hey Sean.


@ Tee ay eye, can we use your T.V. for brawl?

 

[x After Dawn x]

I would come to this tourney if I lived near its location...

 

[maXXXpower]

I've gone from a 5% chance of attending to a 35%. Looks good

Just do it. Why not? Be a rebel. Who cares?

I'm at 36%.

 

[ConnorTheKid]

Tee ay eye:

I'm from AZ. If i go, I'm going exclusively for melee.

 

[DuskMarthWater]

Hehe...you could always move After Dawn! JK.

No but seriously, this thing needs to be...big. Like HUGE. I hope you all come to it.
