[1] Introduction
Welcome to the first Northwest Brawl Newsletter! Primarily focussing on the NW scene, it will feature tournament results, commentary and interviews, as well as some other mini-articles. Feedback would be great as I would love to turn this into a mailing list if it gains enough popularity.
[2] May Overview
May marked the first tournament for many things.
Most importantly, it was the beginning of the brand new Northwest Brawl Circuit (NWBC). Although there were 3 previous tournaments, it wasn't run as a complete season, meaning eventaully, people who had placed well and attended more tournaments, would gain so many points, it would be impossible to catch them up. Now, the NWBC is for a fixed time, giving many people a chance to prove themselves and then start a new season with goals and confidence!
May was also the first month without Aiko entering the tournament, as he has since retired. He previously dominated the last 3 Northwest rankings, totalling 72 points from two 1st place finishes and one 2nd place finish. However, with the loss of Aiko, we also gain Trio3, who has moved from the East Midland Rankings to the Northwest Rankings.
[3] Tournament Format
The May format proved very popular with players. We managed to fit in Singles, Teams, Playoffs AND Crews, offering much better value for money for all players than we had previously. The same format will be retained for the remainder of the season, so get pracitising your teams game!
Here is an explanation of the points system for this season.
You get points for where you place in the tournament. Out of regioners are not included in the rankings. Your best 3 points from the 4 tournaments are used to calculate your season total, thus resulting in your overall season ranking.
These are the points allocated for the places:
Don't forget the awards we give out too! At the end of the rankings, we will be sponsoring 1 player for the next season, which means you will not pay tournament fees!

[5] Interview: Trio3
Trio3 recently joined the NW rankings after transferring from the EM rankings.
[Aiko] Thanks for agreeing to the interview. First question: Why did you decide to get into competitive brawl?
[Trio3] I decided to start playing it competitive cause it was only the game I liked to play constantly, likewise with melee, smash doesent really have a limit to stop playing. I can play smash for hours on end so I decided to start playing in different ways, like online. I started to play different people and enjoyed it, I never thought I'd get beat so easily when I played someone good for the first time........which was infact Blinky. Then after some time of online play, I found out that people actually prefer offline to online play, so I decided to enter an offline tourney.
[Aiko] That Blinky seems to be bringing in a lot of players lol.
[Trio3] Yeah, I just typed in google: "brawl friend codes with msn" and I got him and craigUK.
[Aiko] You only started playing in offline tournaments recently. How would you say it compares to playing in online tournaments?
[Trio3] Well offline play is alot better in many ways. I enjoy meeting new people and I like the environment which we are in. I like the environment because I feel alot more confident when people are watching me play, although it can get pretty intense which can make me nervous sometimes, believe it or not. Where as online tournaments are not half as fun, I enjoy playing online still although I don't find it as good now I have actually been to a real life tournament. To be perfectly honest I would prefer to pay money to travel and play smash, than play it for free online.
[Aiko-baby] You are one of the few Toon Link mains in the UK. Why did you pick him as a main and not someone as popular as Metaknight or Snake?
[Trio3] I played melee and brawl for fun before and used Falco the most. Then in summer 2008 I stopped playing smash for around 3-4 months. When I played brawl for fun I used the wiimote and nunchuck as I didn't know of competitive play. Then December 2008 I decided to start playing smash, this timeI wanted to play competitive so I decided to use the GC Controller.
Then I thought to myself, why play a game with a video game character that you hardly know much about, so I decided to use Link, as I love the legend of zelda series, still unaware of the tier list too. The after some time, when I found out the tier list and matchups, I decided to use Toonlink, Marth and Ike as well. I chose Marth and Ike because fire emblem was my second favourite series of games.
Then once I palyed around with the characters I found out that I was the best with toonlink, which led me on to use him as my main. I didn't choose a popular character at this time because I only played online, and there was nothing really to win. Although even if it was offline I would still stick with my characters because I like the games they are in too, not just to use them in this game.
[Aiko-tron] What's your favourite soundtrack in brawl?
[Trio3] My favourite sound track would have to be the Brawl Menu Theme, I can't really explain why I like it. I recently found a edited version of this track which sounds alot better, and I use it for my alarm theme to wake me up.
[Aiko-PAWNCH!] Captain Falcon or Ganon?
[Trio3] Ganon. No... errm...Ganon.... yeah lol
[King-Aiko] Anything else you'd like to say?
[Trio3] Yes, I'd like you people who are reading this, to take a good look at the tier list in brawl and go for a character of C tier or below, and see how well you do at a offline tourney. Ahh not so good now are you people lol.
[Aiko] LOL!!!! Well thanks for your time; I'm sure people will enjoy your outlook on smash and I hope to see you at the next tourney.
[Trio3] No problem. Yeah, you definitely will.
