Wifi tournaments will also be accepted. I'll label them as (wifi) in the OP
Well I'll take that to mean I can start contributing, since I'm not usually able to make it out to offline tournaments. Just finished up with a pretty fun online tournament today.

102 entrants
No Customs

Bracket : http://gameslines.challonge.com/smashdown02

Pretty happy with this result :) I mostly played Shulk (only went Ness twice and I only won one round with him)
I lost to Leon (:4zss:) and to Anoer (:4falcon:), but I don't think it was a matter of match-up, I just got outplayed pretty hard xD

2nd place :4shulk:
1/3/2015
38 entrants
Customs on (although I didn't use them)

Lost in finals to the same guy I overcame in my previous tournament. Hadn't played much against people with customs but I still felt confident in my ability to adapt (which was really fun). I still have a lot to learn.

B.E.A.S.T 5: Apex World Circuit
SilentDoom

9th Place (Top 12) :4shulk: :4olimar:
9th to 11th January 2015
133 entrants
Customs off

For those who don't know B.E.A.S.T 5 was the largest European Smash tournament ever, clocking in at a total of over 470 entrants across Melee Singles, Doubles, PM Singles and Smash 4 Singles. I was aiming for Top 16 in Smash 4 so I was happy I managed to exceed my expectations. Unfortunately though I must admit to you guys I ended up playing more Olimar than Shulk this tourney simply because of how much Diddy saturation there was (Olimar fares MUCH better against Diddy than Shulk and there were a lot of quite solid Diddys at BEAST), however Shulk saw action against everyone else. I actually felt I could've pushed a little further. I got DQ'd against Armada in winners quarters (long story that I don't quite feel like explaining right now) which shot the wave of momentum that I had from my previous two wins (I feel like my Olimar had a genuine shot against his Diddy) and consequently I lost my loser's round match as a result (it was a super close set too). Nonetheless I'm happy with how I performed overall.

I wanted to use Shulk during B.E.A.S.T, though, but felt like I don't deal well with him yet.

So I played in Smash 4 Worldwide today. I don't really know what my final results are in the grand scheme of things but I figured I could at least share my bracket results?

http://smashboards.com/threads/jan-...-tournament-with-online.383975/#post-18404912

Smash 4 Worldwide bracket 10NA (Online)
Plain Yogurt
Tied for 7th IN THE BRACKET with :4shulk:. I used :4villager: for one match.
1/18/15
108 entrants IN THE BRACKET (1600+ total entrants)
No customs.

Yeah I don't think there's a full result list (which makes sense considering the turnout) so I'm just gonna leave it like this @ Berserker. Berserker. .

If they actually release a full list of all the entrants together with the placings and final turnout I might come back and edit this post.
I'll avoid editing for now? Alright, just let me know. Gratz

May as well update:
(This event is just "Wii U Singles", so I guess I'll make something that sounds more official. Let me know if the link doesn't work and I'll try to get it going.)

Name of Tournament: Café Myriade Monthly Singles
Player name(s): Connor
Placing and character(s): 5th :4shulk:
Date of said Tournament: 23/12/2014
How many entrants (Out of xyz): 43
Customs (Yes/No): No

Got cleaned out by a :4rob: and a :rosalina:, both of which I had very little experience in fighting as Shulk.
-------------------------
I dunno how you wanna format this or add it in. The link should be fine. Should I use CLB (what I went with on the day) or just "Connor" like I have been for these other entries? Or maybe just all under AlvisCPU to keep it organised? I don't yet have a gamertag that I like to use. Your call for now. Anyway, here we go:

Name of Tournament: Forward Esports Game City Squaddles
Player name(s): CLB // Mîc // FM // BAMFUDGE
Placing and character(s): 1st (:4shulk::4palutena://:4miigun::4wiifit://:4gaw::4ness::4villager::4sonic://:4yoshi::4samus:)
Date of said Tournament: 17/1/2015
How many entrants (Out of xyz): 15 teams
Customs (Yes/No): No

Winner's Finals / Grand Finals (1) / Grand FInals (2). Another Shulk also placed 3rd in Loser's Final.

To avoid making it look like I'm shoving my success in this event down everyone's throats, I'll just put a few short words and leave it there. I went in fearing horrendous chaos and Oil Panics - the way the event was run made it not the case. The 4v4 format is much more fun than you'd think.

Might as well change some things in the OP (Add 4v4's)

So... what tournament do we post, anyway? There's plenty out there, Just gonna make a list of everything Shulk participated in? :v

Big shot tourney like APEX is logical enough. But anything smaller?

If I recall correctly, it was said that any kind of tournament is fine, from huge events to small local things.
After a point this thread might just get silly, but I think for now it's alright.

Now that I think about it, what is this thread aiming to do? Be a place where we can chat about our Shulk tourney experiences? Somewhere to find decent Shulk players? Cool place to see how he does on a competitive level? All of the above? I guess that would kind of guide how the list works.

Yeah, I was thinking it would get flooded overtime. We sometime sget impulsive random tourneys of about 8 people or so.

I made it out of pools in my second tournament ever which was cool, especially since my pool was pretty decent. I choked in brackets though, losing my first against a fundamentally better player and then letting a projectile camp bug me, but oh well. Hopefully next time I post a result I can make you guys proud

Solid top 8 in a pretty stacked tournament. Quite a few good established UK players as well as a lot of unexpected threats. I stuck with Shulk all the way and alternated between 3113 and 1113 builds. Lost to the people who got 3rd and 4th so I'm not too fussed. Pretty satisfied with how I did overall. It always feels good to rep Shulk.

I tend not to join online tournaments -_-" only doubles. That's all I play online. Not a big fan of online.

That last one I was so surprised I got that far, was one of the biggest tournaments in Ottawa, Ally's bro Holy's R.O.B. took me out <3. Glad he praised my Shulk though.
Also, I'm currently best player here if that counts ^^"=

Was a fun few weeks. Had my best tournament performance on the 3rd, and after that I did ok, but started going overboard on how often I tried to go ham which I think caused me to suffer placings wise. Managed to make it out of pools in this monthly, and had some fun in teams. Though my critical thinking tends to just short out when things get really chaotic in teams so I put the team in a really bad positions or KO my teammate, which were the main causes of the loses, though also managed to do some really fun stuff, like edgeguarding two people at once, hitting both opponents with a Tree Sprout Counter, and F-smashing everyone offstage at once, and then Jdawg breaking out of hitstun first and securing the KO's with a b-air.

We're actually a pretty small community and 26 is probably one of our biggest turn out. We've been having a blast since the release of Smash 4, since our scene was dying before this. Also, the same guy (Champo) placed 3rd in our regular weeklies wherein our current top player is a Mario/Falcon main. We'd really appreciate anyone's feedback on how our community here in the Philippines is growing and hopefully some of our players can fly over there in the US in time for EVO.

First customs tourney though didn't actually run into many customs. Only used Power Counter cause I haven't gotten much practice with the other customs. I got cheesed out by Wii Fit's Jumbo Hoops (ban delfino and castle siege) one round due to lack of foresight but that was really it. The two players I lost to went vanilla. Also learned to fear Meta Knight again. Whiffing against him means death.

I haven't popped in for a while, nonetheless here are all the results of tournaments I've been to over the past month or so:

Get Connected #1
SilentDoom
2nd place :4shulk:
7th March 2015
16 entrants
Customs (No)

Y'all saw this at the start of the month. The full online tournament stream should still be on shofu's Twitch under Past Broadcasts. Despite getting my ass whooped in GFs I did have a few cool moments throughout bracket.

South Coast Regionals 4
SilentDoom
1st place :4shulk: :4olimar:
14th March 2015
18 entrants
Customs (No)

More of a Melee focused tournament but Smash 4 was there nonetheless. Played Olimar in WFs and GFs cuz I was facing Diddy and thought it would be easy. Stormed through this tournament without dropping a game though unfortunately there's no footage. First tournament I've actually won so I'm happy about that.

Dat Smash Doe 3
SilentDoom
9th place (Top 12) :4shulk:
28th March 2015
80 entrants
Customs (Yes)

Even more stacked this time round. This tournament seemed to be the uprising of quite a lot of the more underdog players, with a lot of the more veteran players getting knocked to losers (or even knocked out) fairly early. I ended up playing the guy who came 4th at DSD2 in Losers Round 3 (who beat me last tournament but I came through this time), only to play the guy who came 3rd at DSD2 in Losers Round 4 right after (who ended up knocking me out the tournament AGAIN lol). I switched between 1113, 2113 and 3113 in various matchups. As a random aside I dabbled in a bit of default Mac and 1313 Zard in pools.

Customs (No)

This was my first Smash Bros tournament ever, and it was an "amateurish fun" tournament. I saw this as a good beginning start to try out. I was happy that I breezed through all the way to the finals, but my final opponent was a formidable Pikachu player. It was a best of 3, but I lost 2 games. Most of my aerials were blocked, and I was having trouble against Pikachu's Neutral B spam. It felt like I was shutdown without my aerials and Pikachu actually hitting me. I started to become a bit more aggressive, and ended up being shield grabbed constantly as my punishment. Nonetheless, the two fights were close.

However, there were a lot of complications in this tournament, affecting my first-time experience. There were some no-show entrants, lag fights, camera recording dying, one day to two day tournament, lots of patience, etc. Overall, this online tournament felt somewhat unprepared.

But despite all that, I actually enjoyed my first Smash Bros tournament. However, I now have some doubts using my 3DS for future online tournaments. I really wish I have my own Wii U so I can join Wii U online tournaments...

Unfortunately, only top two made it out of pools, and my two losses were to the two people who did so. Overall I'm very happy with my placing at my first non-weekly tournament, though.

It was my first time teaming up with a Rosalina player! I actually think Shulk would be more comfortable teaming up with a more mobile and/or smaller character who can handle 2v1s better (Sonic, Pikachu and Kirby come to mind), but we still pulled off some pretty nice stuff :D
In neutral, we tried to have Rosalina wall them using Luma's jabs and aerials while I would stand back and punish/follow-up when necessary.
(btw Rosalina's throws easily lead into Shulk's Uair for early kills, especially her Bthrow!)

Fun tournament this week. Pretty much did Shulk things. I got to play Avg. Joe on stream and had a lot of fun first 2 games. Third game I made a really bad stage choice (Battlefield) and it cost me. I didn't have many good stages left to pick but I get the feeling I picked one of the worst possible options. After that I had to fight Tantalus who played some of the best wall game with ROB I've had to play against and got overwhelmed. Though I got some advice right after (take his gyro) so I'll try to practice and apply it. I switched to Pit after EE's Diddy two stocked me game two. I still really struggle with that match up.

The monthly is this week and I'm hoping I do better than last time.

I just got back from a one-day trip to the UK to attend a tournament with 4 other French players ^^
Here are the results :)

Dat Smash 4 Singles (http://gp-tips.challonge.com/DS4Singles)

I actually only lost to 2 of the other French guys who had come with me to the tourney xD
Lost to PaoZ (:4falcon:) in winners and Enki (:4pikachu:/:4palutena:) in losers
I still can't handle the Falcon match-up, I really was no match for PaoZ this time =/ Gotta work on that mid-range spacing and avoid going for grabs after using Nair at low percentages (I'd just get jabbed whenever I did this)

I mostly used 1113 throughout the tournament but I switched to Decisive Arts against a Link player (Decisive Speed helped a lot!) and I took one game off of Enki's Pikachu using Hyper Arts.

Dat Smash 4 Doubles (http://gp-tips.challonge.com/DS4Doubles)
Scarhi + Enki
5th :4shulk: + :4pikachu:

And here again, we got knocked out of winners by the only other French team lol (PaoZ and Yoren, using :4ness: +:4sonic: )
In losers, we lost 2-1 to a Pit+Peach team, after I SD'd at 10% ><
Our team worked really well though, Shulk and Pikachu have an easy time following-up each other's attacks and whenever I would be at high percentages, I could just activate Shield mode or stall with Jump mode when Shield wasn't available since Pikachu is very good at handling 1v2 situations

Really satisfied with my placings overall :) (Wish I hadn't SD'd in doubles though ><)

Blew through my pool, crashed and burned in bracket losing to two people I really should've beaten. Oh well, stuff happens I guess. Next tournament I'll definitely perform better.

Oh and @ Scarhi Scarhi it was fun playing Shulk dittos at DS4. Shame we never met in bracket. Would've been a hype set!

My first irl tournament! It was double elim, and I stayed in winner's bracket the whole time, so I got to Finals with two shots at victory. I wish the stuff was on stream, because I had many highlights. Back slash kill, HUGE Monado Buster comeback, several roll reads (D-smash), a vertical Air Slash kill, and I'm sure there is much more (speed/buster combos, etc). While only 12 people participated, it was still 5-6 rounds (the final two were both finals, since I lost the first finals set). Didn't lose a game until I fought a Jigglypuff in semi-finals, even though the competition was surprisingly skilled. I fought that same Jigglypuff in Finals. I actually accumulated about 10 games against this Jigglypuff, so I have some new things to say about the MU. I had fun, and... well, I will probably participate in more tournaments in the future! There's a larger event in the area that is going on later this month, so I'll see about probably doing that.

A very satisfactory result for me. I'd started to worry about my ability to play Shulk and was wondering if I should regulate him to secondary for Ness, but I had a couple of extremely solid matches against some high-tier characters that made me happy, including a guy who played a quadruple threat of Pikachu, Diddy, Rosalina, and Luigi (he shoulda stuck with Diddy tbh). I unfortunately got stopped cold TWICE by a guy with an extremely patient Fox. It felt like every time I hit a button I got punished and I missed a ton of pivot attacks. I tried my Ness in Loser's Finals but I was just outmatched. Gotta figure that character cause this is the second tournament now where a Fox has bodied me.
