Sypher, where are the Mario Party vids? Did you upload them yet?

i had fun. xanadu was a good

I want to agree, but I entered P:M and Melee (don't know about you) and both were started at pretty much the exact same time, which really ruined my tourney experience. Once I was done with both though, I enjoyed the friendlies.

Let's do. I also want to try running the characters before stages pick order for the main tournament to see how it works.

Chars before stage picks but AFTER stage bans, right?

No, the whole point of switching the order (or at least the biggest reason) is to allow the winning player to make his ban an informed decision. As it stands now, if the opponent is going to switch characters then the winning player is effectively wasting his ban (unless his weakest stage happens to be the same for both matchups). The system is a relic from the days when a lot of people would have secondaries because so many stages on the list were very polarizing. Making the winning player pick both his ban AND his character before his opponent chooses either would be an absolute disaster. It should be:

1. Winner selects character
2. Loser selects character
3. Winner bans stage
4. Loser counterpicks from the remaining stages


Also, DJ and I are coming. ^_^

Ah, I've heard of that order myself and have even advocated for it in P:M's rulesets. I'd like to see how that plays out at this tournament. Time to finally bring out my trashy Sheik?!?

Edit: Sypher, are we allowed to come ANY earlier to prepare for the tourney (read: play friendlies to oil out the 'weekly rust')?

 

[Bones0]

Who's coming? I'd like to do a Cactuar Stamina Pancake side event.

 

[bubbaking]

Can someone give me a ride from the metro? Is there a TD Bank nearby? Could someone take me to that on the way? Man, not having any cash SUCKS!

GMU eSports Event 3/1 Melee Singles Tournament Results Thread Post Topic **Official**

1st- SPID $124
2nd- RYAN $76
3rd- MAX $0.20
3rd- ERIC $0.22
-other people-

It was later discovered that Spid and Ryan split, and that means that they cheated or something. They have been banned from entering GMU ever again.

 

[bubbaking]

Lolz, you went Luigi? Did Kaffei really call himself......SPID? (O_o) What does that stand for? I'm so confused!!!!!

 

[Bones0]

Leaving now!

 

[FirewaterDM]

Hey, I was at the GMU eSports event last night, and I heard people talking about the closest CUE bus route to the venue, does anyone know which stop/line that's actually on if you're leaving from GMU campus?

 

[SypherPhoenix]

iirc Green 1 will take you here from GMU, though all of them eventually pass the entrance to my subdivision.

 

[hot$]

What were results?
1. Wenbo
2. Bones
3. DJ
? Or did we get some super upsets

 

[Nintendude]

How did CSP go?

 

[Bones0]

1. Wenbo
2. DJ
3. Bones

Idk the rest. I lost to Wenbo and DJ, and DJ lost to Wenbo twice.

 

[bubbaking]

Big upsets? I took someone to a non-MBR stage for the first time in.....a year, I think. It was Kongo Jungle. :3 Still lost, though.

Edit: And we didn't do CSP. The Melee tourney itself didn't start until Wenbo got there and that didn't happen until.......4? 5?

 

[Bones0]

I beat Boss in CSP so he was too distraught to enter singles.

 

[FirewaterDM]

got wrecked but it was an awesome experience, hope to go to more of these events in the future

 

[Fortune]

[SypherPhoenix]

Firewater was the guy that came with Ayato, I think his name was David? He was completely new to the smash scene afaik.

 

[bubbaking]

So he was a friend of a friend of a friend.

 

[DuckPimp]

[Bones0]

Hey, Max, this is what I was trying to tell you about in regards to faster ledgedashing. Idk why we couldn't see it on your Cube... Maybe it's a version difference? I think we were just looking at the wrong diamond thing. I don't remember seeing two different ones when we were testing.
