@noobking i think my solution is pretty elegant regarding a stage that "can't be banned"
Whats your solution?

Also, Otto. Aziz says your opinion on FoD is invalid because you lost to him when he was 13 when he "sucked"... he linked me to this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx7LWGxGvEw

EDIT: I felt you and C!Z were being way too silly about FoD being okay for falcon. I wasn't really complaining about your ruleset at all. I think it's aight.

i said 1 ban, and the stage that gets striked to initially is set as the matchup "true neutral" and therefore not banable, and not DSR-able. that's an awesome compromise between all of the stated issues as far as i can tell, and it minimizes BS.

anyway, "proof of playability" is kind of a silly idea if you ask me, it's either a good match or a bad match, there's demonstrably no 100-0 matchup in the game. but since we're all human and have weaknesses (some greater than others) it makes sense to add a ban, which otto said he's going to do... so everything should be fine for everyone, especially if the "true neutral" idea is implemented (would love to see that)

I personally support the idea of True Neutral, a stage you can always come back to and can never get rid of.

I wouldn't mind coming back to Battlefield in game 5, personally.

whats ur point. s2j can play on it just fine, proving its playable. showing me convos of other falcons being babys doesnt prove anything. plus i already said im gonna allow bans. how bout you ***** more once you get into bracket. better hope nathan aint there lol
LMAOOOOOOOOOooooooo

also linking to pound 3 videos isn't gonna prove **** considering half the players at that tourney weren't even trying by the time brackets started anyway

Lol you realize that the moment you lost to nathan you were unable to use that on me anymore.
Nah. I just further confirmed my lack of consistency in super smash brothers melee. :awesome:

EDIT: I need a teams partner for Melee doubles. My brother keeps backing out and I don't wanna be stuck with nobody last minute. I play fox and falcon.

I've tried Toph =( I have. I mean there's only so much i can do/say. He can be VERY stubborn. I will not give up hope. But at the same time, I don't wanna be stuck w/o a partner. No ride to/from seattle. No ride to/from venue. this is gunna suck ***. Mike and I thinking about finding a hotel as close as possible to venue. Do you guys know of anything in the area?

aka further confirmed ur bad. cuz the way to measure skill is consistency alone. when i say "u cant say that anymore," im basically saying if you bring that up, i bring up nathan. guess which ones worse..considering youve been playing competitively longer than all 3 of us looools

ADAM. answer my very important questions i asked about canadas travel situation rather than being a baby about FoD and emptily boasting

I'm not boasting at all, lol. And I kinda stopped playing smash competitively for a while. I was busy getting drunk and high out of my skull every day for a couple years. Destroying millions of brain cells, there by significantly preventing me from improving for that time. The years i really dedicated myself to this game were 2004-2007/2008. The unfortunate part for me is that I still care too much about the game and about winning. That's about it. Let's just leave it at that.

Canada's travel situation is bleak now. Roby Coyle has a full car of himself, John (Hitsugaya), Sion, Manuel, and The Beef AKA david AKA roby's older brother.

Eric WAS going to have a car full of himself, me, yakal, violence, and probably mike. He was going to be our ride to and from the venue/your place as well as our ride to and from seattle/vancouver.

I've read some of this thread and it seems that nobody in seattle is able to give rides to tournament because everyone has a full car or is already doing multiple trips to get people to the venue. This leaves Me/Yakal/Mike/Violence in a tough spot because now we have to get housing in a hotel near the venue and/or get housed with you or w/e and have to find our own way to/from the venue. The transit system in that area seems mediocre at best but i don't really know how bad/good it would be. Our expenses just went way up because of this, either way. :/

Recommendations? thoughts?

So its you 4 and eric as well? Doesn't yakal drive or at least have a car eric can drive? Maybe I'm mistaken. If its 5 of you I might be able to get nate to house you guys and get you. My main concern with that is that idk if hell be reliable and want to go both days and stuff. Ill check

Edit: nate said he should be able to. He's gotta check his work schedule. I'd say don't buy tickets for coming in any earlier than friday for a better chance of not having to bus to nates or something like that

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed.

I think I'm the person spending the most on this tournament, solely for the purposes of hype, and I think I'm going to be forced to take a train(thank you again, Nathan) and see if I can afford a hotel room.

Like, if I can't afford hotel prices and I'm forced to train and bus around, I'm not sure I can think of a way to come down to this.

Im more concerned about Blunted Object than anything right now. It sounds like hes just being emo. I bet if me, Vish and Otto all talk to him we can get him to want to come again.

What money are you spending? SW, can you set up a housing thread, or a Google Doc? Norcal is coming about 12-strong, and we all need housing. Eric shouldn't be getting a hotel unless there's no housing at all (or he randomly wants to spend more money).

I'm flying in Axe and PP.

I'd like to get housed, I just don't know what I'm going to do for transportation now that Eric(Blunted) is apparently flaking and wouldn't tell us that he was directly(I mean, I had to hear it from Adam? Really?). There aren't any other cars coming from Vancouver, and Nathan has generously offered me a train ticket, I just don't know how to get from the train station to anywhere once I arrive.

And Bobby, I think Toph offered housing to Norcal(forgive me if I'm wrong, Toph, don't wanna volunteer you for something you didn't offer), and I spent the weekend at his place, it's pretty spacious. I think he'd just have to clear it with his roomies.

Well obviously someone will house you. If nothing else you can definitely stay with me. You're pretty much Norcal after all lol.

edit: my bad Scar, didn't see your post. I'm probably gonna handle all of Norcal for housing. With 12 heads I might split Norcal up between myself and Vish who lives 3 minutes (by foot) away if Vish is down, or else with Rio (a lesser known smasher, he was at Genesis 2 tho) who lives about 10 minutes away on foot. So between me Vish and Rio we can definitely cover all of Norcal.

I believe Otto is primarily housing the fly-ins from Socal, EC and so forth.

Yeah, I was just telling Bobby because they aren't sure if they're all getting house by you or not.

And yeah, I would love to be housed by you again, the only problem is finding transportation from the train station to your place. That's my biggest problem right now, I have no idea how the pubtran system works down there.

Train station to my house, btw, is an extremely easy bus ride. There might be 1 transfer but that's about it. THAT SAID though, right now I want to spend some effort talking to Blunted and coercing him into coming though. I know deep down, in his falco heart, he wants to come, even if he doesn't realize it yet.

i am still waiting on dj combo to figure out of he has the time off from work but it is likely that you guys will be able to house and get rides from him. i will do my best to make sure you guys dont have to get a hotel and all that.

@ scar, as for the housing thread; i remember where everyone is housing and am going to make sure i get everyones info before they come. i myself am housing all the fly ins aside from norcal. one bc carpool is housing with gimpyfish. EWA is getting a hotel. i am surprised no one from oregonj has even asked for housing so i am planning on checking with them about a hotel or something.

CANADA - concerning the train. make sure that if you are taking the train and have housing, to come into seattle and not wherever adam did last time he came lol. it takes 1 bus/light rail from there to get to just about everywhere. trhis is only if it comes down to that. just something to keep in mind

why

i just don't understand
because hype

and melee is amazing.

Also, BC has this terrible habit of not leaving the northwest, so I figure this is pretty much the only regional we're going to get for quite a while.

And they love birds, so I got some birds.

good **** otto, yeah it seems that toph has norcal (and hopefully tope) covered.

@eric they aren't birds. axe is a stupid electric rat. wtf. and isn't there a better way to invest, like subsidizing a socal carpool or something? or like stream equipment or what? just wondering because you drop a ton of cash and it's totally up to you how you wanna do it but i'd be happy to strategize and figure out how you can most efficiently spend your dollars to generate real hype.

i wonder how many people care about the extra vids, or whatever the hype is surrounding pp and axe coming (i'm excited about it but not any more than i was considering that washington is legit on its own)

I talked about bringing other players up here. Zhu said he couldn't make it, Javi didn't work out, Socal already planned on coming.

Stream equipment is all well and good, but without the know how and willingness to run a good, dedicated stream, I didn't want to spend money on what might have just ended up a flop. Now that BobbySiege wants to come up, I think he's really enthusiastic to run a good stream, and if I had known that, I would definitely have supported that.

What I'm doing isn't really anything new, I'm just funding a good player fund by myself.

And Axe definitely has a bird.

Oh yeah I got Tope too (unless he wants to go to Nate's or wherever Cyrain is at). I couldn't say no to someone whose name sounds so much like my own.

Btw, Dmac (Washington Dmac, not Midwest Dmac) has a decent streaming setup. I hope Bobby Siege can bring his stream stuff though cuz I think he's better at running a high quality stream.

i think i'm just gonna buy some high quality **** tonight tbh lol

@eric again it's not a big deal and i don't want to tell you what to do with your money. i just feel like it's a lot for you to take on by yourself and i wonder how "worth it" the money spent is. and until axe uses that bird against me he's a ****ing rat

CANADA - it looks like oregon (at least some of them, possibly all) will be getting a motel for this event, thus leaving teddy space in his house. it is very very likely you guys will have housing and rides now =)

Teddy *****.

It's cool, Bobby, I always appreciate the concern.

I find that more often than not, the money's worth it.

oregon is trying to figure out how many are coming. they are trying to bring like 3-4 cars.

kyle and some others were talking about cramming into a hotel.

they are banking on a large group 15-2o is the goal, so they can cheaply cram into a couple hotels/motel rooms.
