Are there any meets before friday this week?

 

[Star ☆]

Hey everyone, again @Noserus and I will be having a meet this Friday in Castle Hill from 5pm onwards. Message me if you're interested! Already 3 setups there capable for PM and Melee but 64 is welcome as well if people can bring setups. (Smash 4 at the moment is an impossibility as we do not have monitors)

If we can get this meet to become big enough I'll likely make a thread and fashion it more officially. Last time we ran a small 8 man PM bracket and it was pretty fun! I hope you all can make it

Tournament when?

 

[Chris Sifniotis]

*coughs* Uh, bump?

 

[Luco]

I didn't betray you I swear! I'm just, err, practicing, with the ME scene, yeah, that's it...

Actually I'm really excited to play some of the competitive smashers around here. Don't think I'm not practicing for when I come back!

 

[Chris Sifniotis]

[offtopic]I think it's excellent that there is a Smash scene there. Get your fill of practice mate.[/offtopic]

Come stake your claim on the leaderboards!

SGT. will begin a ranking of both titles and respective characters.
Think you're the most styl'n Cpt. Falcon in Sydney? Think you have the smoothest 64 jank? Prove it.

A point system (yet to be decided) spanning over multiple tournaments should add a intresting king of the hill aspect to the Sydney Smash Scene.
More details to come....

[Chris Sifniotis]

*coughs*
Yeah, nah, too late notice for me. I do have a fortnight off of work though, so lay anything else on me.

Mate, you really have to get in on the facebook group it is prob the first place news of a tourney is posted and sometimes the poster forgets to post on the smashboards thread.

That one was posted like 7 days ago from memory.

 

[GTR]

Hey guys, the UNSW Smash Brothers Society will be running its second Never Stand Still tournament on the 4th of July. (i.e. week before Town & Sydney)

https://www.facebook.com/events/838844719517364/

Currently the confirmed games are:
- N64
- Smash for Wii U
- Project M

Melee has not been confirmed due to it being reliant on the number of setups/people on the day.

All rules will be the same as those used for Town & Sydney in order to get everyone prepared for the occassion.

Hope to see you all there!

That may be the case but I'm not on Facebook at all, so .

 

[Zero]

Seconded. At least make the group open to the public, if you expect people to read it as the first source of information.

oh the irony

Fun tourney yesterday, let's make doubles a thing at events again!!!!!

 

[SummonerAU]

Public isn't really an option, way too many bots try to join the group (turned away at least 5 yesterday, pretty normal day). Realistically, people just need to post the info both places. I'll mention it to the TOs and I'll try to keep people up to date here if they forget


Hmm, I may as well make a link dump here for people about various sydney smash stuff

speaking of keeping people up to date :/

There's a UTS event tonight open 5pm-5am. Gold Coin entry. Event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1576122079318409/
It's at UTS concourse or something? I'm not sure either lel
EDIT: "Walk in the front door off of the street (Broadway)into the main(old ugly) building and go down the stairs. Turn left and look for a down wheelchair ramp on your left again. I'll post a video around 4"

I'll probably be running a FERN ladder. Don't worry if you don't know what that is.

 

[Gords]

[Chris Sifniotis]

I know it's early but will there be any events during the EB game expo?

 

[Luco]

Just passing this through the vine, but Smashcapps is working on a project that should make day to day tournaments easier to access by the larger smash audience, and NSS#2 was entered into it so hopefully the stream will have a decent amount of viewers. :D

 

[eRonin]

Will the stream be just for Melee? Will there be a Smash 4 stream?

 

[luxingo]

The stream for Never Stand Still #2 will be for Melee and PM, due to the way the room is set up.

Are these Tuesday night things at UTS on every week, or every fortnight, once a month...or...how does it work? Thinking of popping in every so often as it's just down the road from work for me.

(I'm not on facebook)

 

[luke_atyeo]

every week

 

[White_Pointer]

every week

Cool, that makes it easy

 

[Star ☆]

Cool, that makes it easy

It's not on tonight.

 

[White_Pointer]

It's not on tonight.

Wasn't going to go tonight anyway But maybe next week. Might look to come down maybe once every 2 weeks to play some Smash 4.

I'm not on facebook so is there another location that I can check to make sure it's on week to week?

Not from what I know of. You'd have to ask individual people. Perhaps Budd will start a Smashboards thread for the UTS series soon.

 

[White_Pointer]

Yeah there should definitely be at least a thread on here that's regularly updated with that kind of thing for those of us that don't use facebook, which I imagine is a reasonable number of players.

You'd be surprised; Australian smash is on Facebook frequently, at least in comparison to other regions.

 

[PrettyCoolGuy]

We're the only people who still use SmashBoards lol

[Luco]

Just to let you know I'm still alive (UK is strong):

Well, here's my first English tournament! :o

5th out of 34 / Meltdown weeklies / 20/7/15 / London

Bracket: http://gp-tips.challonge.com/dmm5

This tournament I finally learnt the Sonic MU! That cost me winners bracket and also almost sent me straight out of losers bracket What happened is that I went against the second best player (well I mean he went on to win the tournament so....) in the UK (Ixis) and even won game 1 (although I suspect he was playing off point and under-estimated me), but lost games 2 and 3 (I really did have a chance to win them though, especially game 2). The Sonic MU is hard. I think there's counterplay to it though, I was just being too aggressive, throwing out stuff when I shouldn't have.

I know this isn't chronological, but a quick step back, I faced a Marth main who had only been playing the game for 2 days in round one. He was actually rather good for his first time in smash 4 (I think he was a melee player normally) and our first match wasn't too far apart, although I was using Lucas that match. Actually I might have used Lucas for both. :o

Going into losers, I had to face Jamz, another Sonic main who was also terrifyingly good. When I lost game 1 I thought I was out of the tournament. In game 2, it came down to last stocks high percent and I clutched out the Bthrow, and in game 3 I got really lucky and Nair stage spiked him when he was trying to recover. In both game 2 and 3, I calmed myself down and started doing a lot better, although it was still really close.

From there my winning streak started - if you look down the bracket you'll see a bunch of 2-0's in my favour. I went against 4TFYER (can't remember who he used actually), LDR100 (A Link main - I thought I'd have a lot of trouble but I did my newer strategy of keeping calm and analytical and not blindly rushing in and it was much easier), EDC (A Sheik main, I was able to kill him before he killed me, usually) and NW (an MK main, I thought this MU was going to be really hard but in the end it was actually okay, his upB stuff stopped working on me because I started DI-ing it (or something happened) and he's usually get punished for it as a result, in neutral I was able to come out on top the vast majority of the time).

I went up against SmashBound, UK's best Ness (I'm pretty sure). I was really excited for the ditto, but it turned out his Ness played so differently from any other I'd seen. He also knew how to recover (dem AD cancels), and I found myself having to think about my own habits as a player and how I'd go about beating myself in order to beat him. Alas, it was too late and he had won both games. I think I'll be able to figure that one out next time though, he's super risky, often going for PKT2 reads or Fsmash, so I just have to be a little more respectful and it'll be fine.

I'll hopefully go back next week. It was really fun, and if I can get better here I think it'll do loads for me going back home. <3

 

[M]

I just looked at the bracket. Who is this mysterious (and most likely handsome) other M?

 

[Splice]

Other M?

hey


stop

 

[Luco]

He used hehehe.

 

[luke_atyeo]

maybe it was french ricky?

 

[M]

So the UK is actually an alternate timeline where I stick to Ness and get **** on in tourneys? I made the right move.

Time for an avatar change imo
