Old Continent Challenge - European Tourney Series (OCC2 STARTING NOW!)

[King Funk]

Old Continent Challenge

Hey everyone, I've finally decided to start making Smash 64 online tournaments for European players. It's gonna be mostly small but regular events just to have something going for us. ​

Registration/etc.

To register to any of those, you can post on this thread, but I'd prefer you contact me on the Smash64 Europe chat on MSN (groupsim74422@hotmail.com ; add it to as a normal contact ; password is "kirby"). And even if you register on smashboards, I want to be able to contact you at any time.

This is for European players ONLY.

We really want to avoid all sorts of problems, so if you feel your internet connection will lag a lot during the tournament, you shouldn't participate.

If you can record the matches or save the replays, please do so and send the files to me through mediafire/etc. Using the "no music" code is recommended.

[The Star King]

Thank you for using the Backroom stage list, people really need to start using that.

Speaking of which, I might have to go nag Surri to change the ladder rules now.

 

[Surri-Sama]

I thought i already edited those things...maybe i forgot..ill go do it asap!

 

[King Funk]

RNG's for first round

http://www.random.org/ -> I use this site to get a number between 1 and 100.

Lawrencelot vs Zensn -> Lawrencelot picked odd -> 89 -> Lawrencelot strikes first
Jam vs Trinity -> Jam picked even -> 62 -> Jam strikes first
Bear vs Aske -> Bear picked odd -> 54 -> Aske strikes first

 

[Kabutox]

Thanks for hosting. This is a great initiative.

<3'z Fays

('''\( ' - ' )/''')

-_-

 

[Sangoku]

Nice first post zen. I hope I might be able to attend the next tourney.

 

[Lawrencelot]

I'm forfeiting. I lag so much now it's unplayable, even at my better connection. I've got the same problem with other games so unless I find a solution I'm backing off a bit

 

[eppum]

how could i have missed this?! :/


Nickname Erik in the msngroup, not so active though.

 

[King Funk]

how could i have missed this?! :/

Who are you?

 

[Sangoku]

^this. Who are you?

I just read Lawrencelot's comment, then looked at the bracket image to see "Law vs Stan". LOL no wonder why it lags.

Bye sucks btw ;<.

Any new vids coming soon? =)

 

[ddiz]

i wasnt the one lagging bear helped me prove that

 

[Sangoku]

Hmm okay I believe you because last time we played you didn't lag that much =).

However, Bear isn't a good argument since he's not very reliable (I hope you read this Bear >=D).

Btw stan, is it you on that avatar? lol

 

[Olikus]

^this. Who are you?

I just read Lawrencelot's comment, then looked at the bracket image to see "Law vs Stan". LOL no wonder why it lags.

Any new vids coming soon? =)

Yeah bye meets bye in losers bracket lol.

I think new vids are on its way. Bear vs Aske and me vs zen.

GGS!

 

[King Funk]

I am very busy with university studies atm. So please be patient with the videos. They'll all eventually come. I'll have free time to work on them from thursday and on.

 

[Dr_Strangelove]

accurate prediction:

finals will be mahie vs craig. mahie will play like a homo and craig will rage.
I only wish that I could see his face when it happens.

 

[King Funk]

Bear just beat Mahie. o_o

I'm speechless.

 

[Sangoku]

Lol That's what I said: Bear is really underrated =D. Good job to Bear.

Can't wait to see the vid.

Oh and Dr Strangelove, your prediction doesn't seem to be true so far. Maybe bear is going to make craiigg rage.

What was the score btw?

 

[Kabutox]

3-2

10 characters...

 

[Sangoku]

Ok thanks. You could have said "the score was 3-2 and I was surprised too." lol

 

[Dr_Strangelove]

Lol That's what I said: Bear is really underrated =D. Good job to Bear.

Can't wait to see the vid.

Oh and Dr Strangelove, your prediction doesn't seem to be true so far. Maybe bear is going to make craiigg rage.

What was the score btw?

grand finals are still to come my friend

I hate you bear, stop making me look bad

 

[ddiz]

this is a message to all bear haters
bear loves u

me vs craig...place ur bets people

 

[The Star King]

3-2

10 characters...

At first I thought you meant ten different characters were used in total lol

 

[Sangoku]

Stan: I bet you will win 3-0. It's not so hard, you just need to lag a little and then taunt a hundred times.

Star king: I thought that too in the beginning lol.

 

[craiigg]

pfttt i wont rage =)
tourny face

 

[Dr_Strangelove]

pfttt i wont rage =)
tourny face

Clearly nobody but me knows your rage inducing weakness. The power of the edgehog -> tauntpause x 3.

Also, I happen to be the only person capable of making mahie rage.

 

[ddiz]

u sir are an uber leet troll then
or just uber leet..i dont know

 

[King Funk]

You haven't played in a long time. =)

 

[Sangoku]

So what's going on? Why aren't you playing the matches D:

I want to see a serious Mahie vs Maddy match!

Also is the Bear vs Mahie krec file usable finally?

 

[dandan]

maddy resigned because he is suffering from too much lag atm.

 

[King Funk]

Maddy forfeited to Mahie due to heavy lag.
Mahie beat Jam 3-0 (set here).
I got destroyed by Bear 3-0.

Next matches are:
- winners finals between Craiigg and Fays
- losers semis between Mahie and Bear (their 2nd set)

 

[Sangoku]

Wow these matches were fun to watch. Haven't seen Mahie play for a long time.

Will Mahie get his revenge against the unstoppable Bear? Lol. And I really wonder if Fays is going to beat Craiigg.

 

[Olikus]

I really dont know what to expect out of those 2 matches. For what we seen so far in this tournament, all 4 of them have a great change at winning the whole tournament imo.

So is it gonna be:

The Beast! (craigg ***** so hard when he sandbaggs, no wonder everyone is scared when he plays at his best!)

Comeback kid! (Mahie's 3 month break doesnt seem to stop him ******)

Son-Goku! (Fays just keeps getting better and better, will someone stop this guy?)

or GrizzlyBear! ( Most likely one of the best kirby's atm. Can't really complain about cheap any longer, this bear got mad talent!)


Hype!

 

[The Star King]

Kirby? If Europeans are as bad against Kirby as Americans are, then I'll put my money on him.

 

[Kabutox]

Us Europeans are good against kirby.
Very good.
Very very very good...

So don't pick him when we play.

...

 

[Sangoku]

As bear is the only Kirby main I don't think most of us is really good against him. Bear is **** nonetheless.

 

[King Funk]

I'm amazing vs Kirby. I got 3-stocked three times in a row by Bear.

[Battlecow]

Kirby? If Europeans are as bad against Kirby as Americans are, then I'll put my money on him.

To help the cause of American smash, I've started maining kirby. I sign on as "xXxMW2Bloodrayne666xXx." Are you proud of me now?

Because I think I can feel my soul dripping out of my nostrils.

 

[The Star King]

I'm saying people should main him - it's not an either-or situation - I just think people shouldn't avoid using him like the plague. I only really see the new noobs and the A tier+ players using him (sometimes), nobody in between.

 

[craiigg]

kirby is mad fun ;3
alot of people expect insults when they use him.. i dont know why, pika is gayer when played right..
