Hey guys. I'd like to find a group of Smash Bros players in Halifax. I'm actually from Newfoundland, but will be in Halifax (on work term) for four months, and would like to have a good group to play with while I'm here (especially once Brawl comes out).

If it helps, I'm definitely one of the best players in Newfoundland (I've won six tournaments). I can more or less play every character, but my "mains" include Captain Falcon, Marth, Fox, Jigglypuff, Luigi, the ICs, and DK.

"Yes, I did just copy and paste this from the old HellaSmashed post, so look them over once more, and let's talk about it.

FIRST NEW RULE: WHEN THE MATCHES ARE OVER, BOTH PLAYERS WILL SEE A REF/JUDGE RIGHT AWAY AND REPORT THE SCORE OF THE MATCH. NO FRIENDLY MATCHES WILL BE PLAYED ON TOURNAMENT TVs, ONLY ON FRIENDLY DESIGNATED TVs.

And now...

1 VS 1 TOURNAMENT RULES

*$10 entry fee

*Prize Money depends on number of particapants:
*1st Place: 60% of Prize.
*2nd Place: 25% of Prize.
*3rd Place: 15% of Prize.

* Best 2 out of 3 matches.
* Best 3 out of 5 in Semi-Finals.
* Best 4 out of 7 in Final.
* 4 Stock.
* 8 Minutes.

* In the case that time runs out and both characters have an equal amount of lives, the character with less damage wins the match. If both character have equal lives and damage, Sudden Death will determine the winner.

* Items are turned OFF.

* During the first match in a set of 3 (or 5 or 7, if it's in the Semi-finals or Finals), characters are chosen DOUBLE-BLIND, so that neither players knows his opponent's character beforehand. In practice, this doesn't always happen, but tournament players have the right to force a double-blind pick. IF YOU WANT A DOUBLE-BLIND PICK FOR YOUR MATCH, THIS IS HOW IT WILL HAPPEN: Both players will inform the judge/ref (that's me, or someone else whom I deem responsible) who their character is going to be before beginning the match (on a piece of paper, likely). That way, you won't be able to pick a counter-character in the first round without me knowing.

* The first match is played with a RANDOM NEUTRAL Stage, unless both players can agree on a stage.
* The loser of the previous round will choose the stage for the next round.
* The winner may strike any ONE stage from the Loser's available choices, if he or she so desires. After loser picks his/her stage, the winner picks his/her character, and then the loser picks his/her character.

* Banned stages are BANNED. They are not randomly selectable, or selectable by the loser at any time.

* The loser can also not choose any stage that has already been played earlier that round. That goes for the random neutral in Round 1, as well as whatever stage was picked in round 2.

* Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it unable to be finished are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match.

* Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put your character in a place to lose a stock by ending the tactic, a judge/ref may force you to stop and lose a life and continue the match short a stock.





STAGE SELECT:

FIRST ROUND NEUTRAL STAGES
* Yoshi's Story
* Fountain of Dreams
* Pokémon Stadium
* Battlefield
* Dream Land (N64)
* Final Destination

SECOND ROUND AND ONWARD SELECTABLE STAGES
* Princess Peach's Castle
* Kongo Jungle
* Brinstar
* Corneria
* Mute City
* Onett
* Mushroom Kingdom
* Kongo Jungle (N64)
* Rainbow Cruise
* Jungle Japes
* Yoshi's Island
* Green Greens
* Venom
* Poké Floats
* Big Blue
* Mushroom Kingdom II

BANNED STAGES
* Icicle Mountain
* Hyrule Temple
* Brinstar Depths
* Fourside
* Flat Zone
* Great Bay
* Yoshi's Island (N64)
---------------------------------

Kresstoff, I was Lamb at FFC(thanks), and I'll be at the tournament.

This one will be better than Hellasmashed and FFC.

Pey, no, I don't think there are any teams. But we can play 2vs2 friendlies.

Sweet, an out of state player. I think Nova Scotia is about to get beat.
MajinLink, are you one of the top players in Texas?

I'd really like to get some practice in before the tournament (in fear of being out of practice). I guess I should just get there a bit early and try to get in on some friendlies?

I just found this site like 20 minutes ago and I know me and ma buddy would be more then willing to play in a tourny of sorts. We're better then most people around here. (but i'm not sure what that accounts to for the rest of the people in the world) but im pretty sure we could hold our own in a tournament, (if not i think it would be awsome to try) so are there any tournaments anytime soon, we're from antigonish like 2.5 hours from halifax and 45 minutes away from Port Hawkesbury.

Hey Do-Ryu, I'm from Antigonish if you wanted to play sometime. I go to StFX and I have a pretty flexible schedule so making time to play would not be much of a problem. Plus this town is tiny so finding each other wouldnt be that hard.

Yeah man that'd be great but i can't for a little while because i've got exams for the next 2 weeks so I'm gonna be pretty busy but other then that I'd be good for that but I'm not entirely sure if I'll be as good as you guys. I know that I'm one of the best out of all of my friends and I can beat just about anyone who I play but it might not be matchable to anyone else in the world. But whenever i get a wekend me and my other friend would be glad to see how we match up against you.

I was planning to show up around 11, though I don't expect most people to show up until 12:30.

I think I only have the one reliable controller. I wouldn't be able to guarantee the quality of my second controller, so it's really not worth taking to a tournament.

yo sup guys, copypasta down your throat, all the info in the announcements on home page:

some BAD DUDE hackzords through smashboards and got a list of e-mails and stuff. the power admin would like you to consider changing your passwords. actually you should. read below.

Superman said:
One, the individual in question sent out an email blast to a number of users that contained a message advertising his site. He also obtained a list of members' email addresses, but claims that he will delete it. We also have reason to believe that this individual may have obtained some potentially sensitive information from our database. I recommend that any users who may have supplied some sensitive information via threads, posts, or PMs (such as usernames or passwords) change that information as soon as possible--while it's not necessarily likely that that information has been stolen, we cannot be absolutely sure about what information was taken.

In addition, I would like to suggest that all users change their account passwords. A good password will contain a mixture of letters (capital and lowercase), numbers, and symbols, and be at least 8 characters long. I also recommend you choose a password unique to this site so as to not endanger any other accounts you may have with the same password elsewhere. To be clear, we have no reason to believe that any of your account passwords have been compromised--even if they were indeed taken, they are stored only in an encrypted form that is not readily decrypted by modern technology.

Lastly, I'd like to note that the Revolution style will temporarily be the only style that will be available. We expect to re-enable the other styles shortly.
also, I've been wondering for a while now, since I'm gonna reopen the ECPR thread soon: the name East Canada PR should be including you guys (duh) but we haven't established any link between n-s and ont/qc. I should change the name of the PR, you think? But seriously, have you guys considered making a big tournament, or something, or perhaps coming up to our place? I mean, I barely know you guys. x_x well, I took the time to post and say hi.

I've been trying to get my parents to go up there, but I don't think it's going to happen very soon. Maybe in the summer we'll get lucky.

Hows about I add some of you guys when brawl comes out.?

Is there any big tournaments coming up soon? or this summer perhaps?

So i've heard Brawl sucks. Can anyone confirm?
There are mixed feelings about it so far.

It sucks that they took out almost all the combos except for a 0-death one the Ice CLimbers still have. Most combos you see now are just 2-3 hitters, nothing long, so the game is now based a lot more on thinking instead of teching.

There are a lot of downsides that people are finding out, I could list them, but it's easier to tell you what's improved.

Everyone is now quite a bit more even, there's nobody that can **** everyone else. Instead, there's new stratagies that **** everyone else.
The main one is camping. There seems to be a whole lot more defensive options than there are offensive ones. People are trying to find good aproaches now.

Marth still playes almost the same, in fact, he's the only character that does, and a lot of people like him because of that- me included.


The one thing everyone agrees on is that it's very fun.
